Hello
I just downloaded a zip file with the Nordic version of the official rom, but when extracting it I get a HOME .tar.md5.
How do I restore that?
Thanks
Use Odin and update ftom PC. If your phone rooted you can use MobileOdin and update from your phone without connecting to PC.

I tried adding the tar as PDA, but it just got into a bootloop.

OK guys so yesterday I did something stupid let's just say I re-formatted my hole phone only thing I can download was CM build 9-6 only way my phone was booting up so I read somewhere about moving Odin while ago , now I got the stock KH2 I believe ODIN zip package now under recovery can I leave that blank to stick with cwm ? when I first try it put me back to stock recovery now I'm going to have to install the package again because message wasn't working -.- So what I'm asking it can I just leave recovery blank and install the rest threw mobile ODIN ? or how does this work thanks guys !

If you have no os currently you have no choice but to use pc odin.
Mobile odin you must be rooted and run like a normal app.
Then either choose file for a full fw or other .tar file, or choose update zip for a leak/patch update.

Hi everyone. I am on the stock rom UVALH2, rooted, with a custom kernel. Can someone please help me flash back the proper kernel so I can update to JB?!
I will be in debt to you forever..
I just tried the OTA update to the newest kernel which failed and brought me to CWM. What do I need to do here?
You must be UVALJ4 to use the ota.
I suggest using odin w/ the fw I have in my fw/ota thread.

My FW thread has step by step instruction.

I'll have to try that. I flashed my old UVALH2 kernel back and then went to update. Downloaded the 335mb file but the signature verification failed and it booted to CWM. Is it because I am rooted or not on the latest UVAXXX?
Just go to Samsung updates download the whole Odin tar and just Odin it.. That's the best way

Faster to download it from my thread. Plus root66 is out too!

Found the FW thread. Need help extracting the .tar from the .7z file I downloaded. I also have Odin ready to go as well.
I'm a little confused here guys. I'm on Doc's Firmware thread and I've downloaded Odin. I also have downloaded root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.7z . However I'm stuck on how I extract the .tar file from that?
Www.7zip.org
Download and install 7zip and use it to extract.

Okay doing that now. Now it seems when my phone is in CWM odin doesn't pickup/recognize the phone. However when the phone is on normally odin detects it.
-----Look Below-----
Going to do a full rundown so anyone can help me here. When I originally rooted the phone I used some type of tooklit (Looked like a green version of MS-DOS). I've always had the stock rom. I've always used CWM to flash different kernels. Right now in About Phone I'm on baseband T999UVLH2 with kernel version [email protected] #1
I'm trying to get Jelly Bean 4.1 as a clean install. Not worried about keeping root at the moment either. I have root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5 downloaded which I am trying to push through Odin. However when I reboot my phone into CWM and connect the USB cable Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I'm willing to try anything at this point as this is frustrating me beyond belief.
You need download mode not recovery.
Same procedure but vol down instead.
Hold volume down, home and power to boot into download mode. Press vol up when prompted. Then odin will work.

I feel so stupid.. Thank you for that as well! (Can I buy you a beer?) Okay I did that Odin is now pushing root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5. After this is done will Jelly Bean be on the phone? Should I wipe anything to get rid of the old firmware/files?
Success! Android 4.1.1 is now running with what appears to be the most updated kernel/baseband! Now should I do any type of wipe to get rid of any old files that could slow the phone down? What happens to the old firmware stuff?

Factory wipe under CWM? Will it make me lose my apps/contact info? I suppose I could always do a titanium backup.
Factory reset wiil wipe apps and user data. Not necessary but I do recommend it when updating android. Just makes for reduced potential for problems.
Reset in cwm or twrp does not wipe internal sd. Stock recovery will though.

If you downloaded the root66 zip file you just use winrar and choose extract. It will or at least should unzip to its own folder. After that just follow the directions to use Odin.
how do you install a new Modem. when i try to flash it with CWM. it say installation aborted. and im 100 % positive the modem i downloaded are correct one and is working the file is not corrupted.
Can i just unzip the Modem file and then take the Modem.bin and flash it using the Modem flash option in MOBIL odin ?
Any help will be apriciated.
thanks in advanced
pls help
To flash with mobile odin you need tar files.
Try another modem to see if it working.

Is there any way to unroot this phone or flash the stock rom, rooted or unrooted, without a computer. The mini usb does not function so anything involving a computer is not an option. I just bought this phone and it came rooted but I need to activate it on my account and the ## codes aren't working

2nd file. Flash with Mobile Odin
Flash the modem in cwm first. Mobile odin wont flash them.

Flashing the modem isn't necessary as the .tar contains the rom, kernel, and modem.

Using Mobile Odin will not flash the modem, that is why patrao said to flash the modem with CWM then use Mobile Odin to flash the tar.

Ah, that's what he meant. I was confused by his post.

Sorry but I haven't had an android phone in a while so I'm a little confused. There are two files when I click on the link do I flash just the tar file or both the exe and tar file? Also where do I find the modem file? Thanks for any replies I have managed to restore the phone to stock and get it working and I am still rooted as well
If you are going to use mobile odin then use the tar. The exe is for your computer. Thr modems can be found in rwilcos website just got to look.

Hi,
as in the title - I tried to flash TWRP via GooManager. When I tried to get into recovery, it stacked at the samsung logo... i cant boot into recovery nor system. Download mode is the only option that works.
How to fix it?
phone: N7105
On download mode try to flash stock Samsung firmware using odin.
Damn... stock roms are uploaded mostly on hotfile.com, which is shut down...
I can't find any other mirror for Polish stock rom... Does anyone have it on the hard drive and could upload it? I would be greatfull...
Ok, I found stock rom. But now, I have bootloop... I'm downloading another stock rom and will see.
Any other ideas how to bring him life again?
Phils revovery has a tar file you can flash with odin I'd try that then flash anything you want
