press The button to extract the boot.img from the working folder
let it extract
now use the one to extract ANY boot.img
place your boot.img you want to extract into e folder bootimh123532
it gets extracted
now delete the folder BOOT-EXTRACTED and rename bootimg1223456 to BOOT-EXTRACTED
do your changes
then switch back to kitchen, and hit B to build for working folder
your boot.img is at the working folder,, copy it to were you want

thanks a lot my friend

DO NOT PRESS 1 - IT's a waste of time!!
Just extract your ROM onto the dsixda kitchen (using WinRAR or 7zip)
Rename the folder to WORKING_xxxx
Where xxxx is your ROM name, or you can call it whatever
Make sure inside WORKING_xxxx you have:
META-INF
system
boot.img
Then hit 0 & 20

thanks all i done my work

dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....
The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:

So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.
Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!
So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.
First,
You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.
Second,
You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.
Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.
Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.

ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.
You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.
You can flash custom recovery three ways:
*.img flash-able via Terminal
*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin
*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery
Good luck!

I think he meant that he wasn't able to use just the img so he had to use the odin tar.

[Q] [HELP NEEDED] Can not extract .tar.md5??

! C:\Users\user\Desktop\N7100XXDMB2_N7100OLBDMA4_XSE.zip: CRC failed in N7100XXDMB2_N7100OLBDMA4_N7100DXDLK5_HOME.tar.md5. The file is corrupt
That is what I get every time I try to extract the file. It gets to 99% and then errors out. I've redownloaded twice already. Am I doing something wrong?

Try using 7zip if you arent and tell us if it continues... also have you tried re-downloading? might just be a simple corruption?

Try another browser or download client to get the file

after try to extract with 7zip, it got extracted with md5 on it but still get the eror notice (corrupt file) on rar file. Then does this md5 file save to flash?

Rename the *.md5 you just extracted from the original *.zip to... *.md5.zip extension. Then extra the file you've just renamed again. If you can extract the contents to see files like recovery.img, then the md5 is safe to use. Else try a different browser...

You don't need to unzip it.
Check it's checksum and match it if it's available.
Also check the source.
You can also try to flash it directly.
It won't be flashed if it has a corrupt hash.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Checksum hash miss match doesn't mean the data is corrupted because the hash is appended to the end of the tar file. If you can untar (or unzip if you prefer) the contents successfully, means you can rebuild the *.tar.md5 to flash with odin or just flash the extracted contents using mobile odin...:good:

Close antivirus while downloading as well extract.
Check log of antivirus, if there is reports regarding virus notice for zip file then select restore and try extract.

For our device boot partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p7... To knw abt more partitions use root Explorer and chk in this path /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
To take system dump run these command...
su
tar -c /system/* >> /sdcard/system.tar
