[Q] EC05 tar File

What all needs to be used to flash the EC05 tar file from Mammon in ODIN? What settings need to be checked? Do we need to put in the victory_8G pit file and the EC05 tar file? Any help with this would be great! Thanks in advance!

The only option checked should be auto reboot. Yes you do need to use the .pit file, and the modem.tar file should go in the phone slot. Good luck. Im using it, its working fine.

OK so do this and there will be no data loss (I know, backup always) then flash the new ROM over the old right?
Don't know what is going on in the DEV section. Seems to be a war or something. And Bonsai thread keeps getting closed.

Yup, I did a nand backup and flashed the EC05 modem through ODIN and it rebooted back into the VIPERrom 5.0 and everything worked alright. I wiped 3X and installed Bonsai 4.0. Works fine.

Cool. Thanks. I assume I can flash Bonsai 4 right over 3.0.1 since they have been including the wipes in the flash. Can't ask anyone since their thread keeps getting locked.

Thanks, I only wanted the modem for now and never used odin. I always felt odin was a last resort if cwm ever failed to restore a nandroid, still never wanted to use it. Anyhow I still screwed up by putting the tar file under pda instead of phone, but thankfully it didn't matter....as I wipe the sweat beads off my forehead. :-D

If you flash a tar file it goes under PDA. .bin goes in phone. You did it right.

extract a tar??????

So for mobile Odin how do I extract the tar file on my phone? I want to flash ICS but make sure I have a way out, since I'm not anywhere near a computer...... I downloaded a el29 ROM for Odin and it will tell me that the.... well I can't remember what it said now but is there a straight tar file that doesn't need to be extracted? I saw the stock el29 acs one but its a zip....

If the file is already in .tar file format there is no need to extract it. If the file is a zip, you can use a program such as 7-zip or winrar. Since you said you are not near a computer I would reccomend using an app called root explorer. In root explorer, navigate to the zip, long hold, and then select extract. Hope this helps!

I thought they were but mobile Odin says can't find partition.... so I thought it needed the tar. Extracted?.. I was using root explorer and it wasn't giving me an extract option, so I assume because it wasn't needing extracting?

I've tried... nothing says extract. Guess I will wait till I'm around a computer and extract the file then put that on my sd card so I have it. I have kernals and modems that mobile Odin will flash. This el29 ROM doesn't work. Just says partition could not be found in file. Oh well.

[Q] is it possible to flash back to stock without PC?

The micro USB port on my phone is jacked up and I need to flash back to stock ROM,unroot and stock Android recovery so I can get a replacement . Is there a way to do it? My PC dosent recognize the phone when its plugged in. currently im running
EL 26 modem
EK02 kernel
Build Number Gingerbread EK02
Cwm recovery

Maybe MobileODIN?
(sorry, @ work, can't take the time to search n link here for you)
I would guess off the top of my head that M-odin and something from sfhub would do this?
Seeing as I've never used it, I am sure someone could clarify and/or say I'm full of ****e. ;-)

Yeah downloading the stock.tar to your phone and using Mobile Odin works great, just make sure that you don't have inject superuser clicked if you want to return it.

it looks everything needs to be done with CWM (rogue) or mobile odin.
Search the forum first to find the unrooted stock rom, modem and kernel.
Also, remove the odin count if it's non zero (if don't know, search 'triangle away').
If everything is downloaded on your phone or pc (you can connect your pc using es file explorer and move the file to your phone), be sure that kernel is applied at the very last moment.
The steps would be,
1. install zip file from sdcard - if you have a zip file which everything is on one zip, then you are just good to go.
2. Separate zip file - rom or modem first and kernel last within the same recovery session (without reboot)
If you use the mobile odin, everything should be done at the same time but I do not recommend this method because sometimes, the mobile odin misses some component and it could be a reason of phone bricked.

That's the reason why I'm recommending the 'triangle away'. This works without usb jig. If you odin count is bigger than zero, only use it. Flashing thru zip file does not increase the odin count.

Nope! That's the one-click self extract package being used for odin thru usb cable.

I tried to find zip file but only rooted zip files exist. So, only one way would be using mobile odin.

Ok im downloading that now .So let me get this right,I unzip that file then open mobile Odin .scroll down a bit hit open Open file...select that file that is now unziped . Does that soind right so far??
Sorry for bugging just not familiar woth this and dont want to screw up since I cant use USB port ya know..

Sounds right:
This is below is all from sfhub he wrote instructions on his latest oneclick for using mobile odin:

FC15 here:
To install One-Clicks from the PHONE with out PC using Mobile Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551901
"Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6)."

Ok so theese are one click files and I can use then with mobile Odin corrrect? Then the file that I asked you about earlier should work am I correct?

I don't know, I think you'd be fine with the EL29 too. I make sure I use the links from sfhub to get to stock. I can vouch for those - Bone Stock, Odin Count to Zero and no Triangle. That guys deserves loads of thanks for saving many an ass, mine included. And his instructions are dead simple and right on. Just take some time and read, read and then read again before you do anything. Then you should be OK.

The oc-sfx.exe files are actually 7zip self-extractors. When you double-click on them, they decompress the actual OneClick.exe file. Think of oc-sfx.exe as a zip file. You wouldn't feed a zip file directly to Mobile ODIN. You would unpack the zip file first, then give the file to Mobile ODIN. You can either unpack the oc-sfx.exe file on windows by double-clicking on it, or on your phone by using ZArchiver from the market.
Once you have extracted/decompressed the OneClick.exe file, feed that to Mobile ODIN.
Sorry for any confusion, but if I left these uncompressed, the files (and downloads) would be twice what they are now.

Yeah , I was really confused because I didnt know his oneclick.exe files can be used also with mobile odin,AND lol mostly cause for some reason I STILL tried opening it from mobile Odin but it wouldnt accept the file ,but thats because I unzipped it with Androzip. its what I already had on my phone and I thought it would do the job. Once I used Zarchive to unzip the one click.exe it DOES recognize the file! Now im just waiting for it to charge a lil

The man is pretty awesome n so helpful ! Its funny cause when I used his one click method months ago it was so easy. Just this time I cant do it thru a USB with PC

Mobile Odin help -- please :(

Seem to have gotten myself in another bind :/
Ok, so I flashed a ICS ROM and as usual I want to flash something else(I admit its a bad addiction! ). Unfortunately, my OEM cable isnt working and so odin can't recognize the phone!
SO I have mobile odin installed but I need the correct files. Never had to use it until now, I thought I had a correct kernel/recovery to flash but it says "partition not recognized"
So please mind that I will have to download the files DIRECTLY from my phone. I will seriously LOVE anyone who can help me out

Go to the wiki, found in the sticky section, you're looking for el26 kernel with cwm tar file. In mobile Odin, click kernel and find the file. Check md5 and go. During reboot, Press and hold volume up and power till you get to cwm. Do your wipes and flashing there. Good luck!

Assuming you are using something from the OneClick thread, you need to unpack the file first, either double-click the .exe in windows to unpack or use zarchiver on android. The resulting file can be use with Mobile ODIN using Open File.

Here's the el26 cwm kernel

Ok, downloaded the MJ7 full tar from the OP here, got an md5 match but it will not extract. I changed the filename to drop the .7z and it gives me an md5 error in odin. I'm confused, what could have gone wrong?

Odin doesn't see the file. If I remove the .7z extension it let's me place the file in Odin but then it returns an md5 error.

Are the full ROMs already rooted or are they as stock as stock can be?

Thanks for the response, @beanstown106 . I'm pretty familiar with 7 zip, been using it for years, but this one has me stumped. Check out the screenies below
I first md5 checked the file
I then opened 7 zip, clicked the MJ7 tar file and clicked extract
That returned this error (little too small to read, it says "Can not open file 'C:\User\Nate Phillips\Desktop\Dev\Note 3\N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_Home.tar.md5.7z' as archive
I then double clicked the tar file inside 7zip, just to double check and this program opened, so I tried to extract it through this.
It opened the folder I chose to extract to immediately after clicking extract and the folder was empty
Luckily, before I left work yesterday I downloaded the same tar from hashcode's link over on rootzwiki and it's waiting for me there so I'll try in a little bit, but I just didn't think things added up on this run down. Let me know if I'm missing anythingj amigo! Thanks!!
