I'm trying to flash back to the Stock firmware with TWRP. I have the zip file on my SD card but when I try to flash it is reporting that it is unable to open the zip. I confirmed that the file is downloaded correctly and not corrupt as I am able to access/extract it on my PC without issue. Any ideas on how to get past this?
Its probobly an ODIN zip not a CWM zip. Extract the zip and if it has a .pda in it then you have to use ODIN on your PC

An MD5 is just an integrity check file. What is the name of the zip and where did you get it?

The name of the Zip file is
SGH-I317_ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4.zip
I downloaded it from a couple locations that listed it as the stock AT&T firmware for this phone. Each location same error.

Im pretty sure that the one you downloaded is just zipped factory firmware and not flashable zip. You will need to extract tar file inside if there is one and flash Via Odin. If you are using it for att there is one that you can flash via twrp from link below.

Ah thanks for the help, I think thats my problem. Testing with the link you provided. Thanks.
I wonder why we see a lot of people asking questions here about install errors from files they got at some random (and often unheard of) sites around the Internet? Don't people know that xda has all the files they could need?

So I followed the sticky on rooting my friends SGS3 but I cannot get odin 3.04 to read the CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-Sprint-v5.zip file. It doesnt even show up at all when I open the pda section to select the file. I even tried to rename it from .zip to .tar and .tar.md5 but even with .tar it detects it but it wont flash it it has an error. On the phone it has red letters that say something like unsupported dev_type.

I would personally go with this method. I never use QBKing's videos, but I'm thinking its the same one he uses.
I'm to lazy to look up the file names but you are either trying to load a .zip into Odin when you need to extract a .tar file, or you are trying to load a .zip file meant to be flashed in recovery instead of Odin.
EDIT: Actually, I used this method. At the time I tried it was by far the easiest I saw. Just download the .zip in that thread, unzip it, load it in Odin, root.

Could you link us to the method you are using, or pick one of the many methods we suggested and we'll try and get you through it?

Hi all,
Trying to figure out why every tarball I download from Goo.IM for the I747M d2can gives a checksum error when trying to apply it through Odin. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!
Ate you changing the name of the tar file before you try to Odin it?

Unfortunately learned that the hard way with CWM backups, but no I downloaded it directly and put it right onto C:\, so its not a renaming problem. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Hi there
Back in September, there was a leaked rom of the JB update for Bell. I flashed it successfully and everything went smoothly. But in November, Bell released the official JB update, and I'd like to flash that.
I downloaded Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I747M_BMC_1_20121121150017_8dyms8nejb.zip from Samsung-Updates.com, but not sure what to do with it. When I put it on the phone, and try and instal it from the recovery screen, it fails.
I've looked at various posts, but can't find the answer to my 2 questions.
- Am I using the proper update from the site mentioned above?
- And how do I go about flashing this onto the phone? (I tried ODIN, but in the PDA, there are options for md5, tar, gz, etc, but not .zip files. I'm just being cautious so that I don't brick my phone.
Thanks in advance...

There are only 2 files in the zip file.
KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYCDLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Thanks for replying.
Can I flash the md5 file with ODIN? What's the purpose for the dll then?

Another way, if you have installed ROM and want to update CWM can use this tool:
- Google play app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unstableapps.cwmrtouchinstaller
- Download older version: http://d-h.st/esM or http://d-h.st/M1y

*Required: SuperUser (ROOT access)
1. Download recovery version from here (img type): http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager/ and save to your sdcard or any folder easy to browse.
2. Install CWMR Touch Installer
3. Open app you will see FLash from other.... Choose that option and browse to your recovery.img file.
4. When flash finish. You can use reboot to recovery option on menu and see result

OKay. Thank you! I will be copy your post to 1st topic.
You just flash the zip through CWM recovery like normal? I don't own this phone, I'm trying to upgrade my father in law's phone. I'm just trying to figure this all out before messing with his phone. I do NOT want to use Odin because I don't trust third party flashing utilities (have had bad luck in the past, particularly with Odin).
how do you go about doing it manually? I understand that the SGS2 doesn't have fastboot so something like
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
???

I am aware. I had to download it from the official Samsung site when i flashed my father in laws phone the first time. But i am a mac/linux user. Odin is not a good solution because it complicates a process that should be really straightforward, eg
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
By third party software i mean not part of the android sdk. Odin is proprietary closed source and only works on Windows with a select few samsung phones, whereas fastboot is intended to be universally accessible.
But back to my initial question, do you just flash the. Zip in recovery like normal?

It is harder to help you when you post the same question to different threads. I only gave you the link to this thread so you could download the Odin flashable CWM tar file from the OP IF you are not able to install CWM using ROM manager. Have you tried ROM manager already?

Have you tried installing the .tard.md5 posted in the OP, it should work through Odin.
Edit: I've tested the files and Odin crashes.
Has anyone had luck installing the .tar.md5 files, there's a bunch of downloads but no feedback.

I made and tested this one and it worked. I think the problem is that you have to rename the img file to recovery.img before making the tar file. Let me know if it works for you.

how did u make the .tar file out of the .tar.md5 file ?
I would like to restore my stock recovery on 1.56.720.6, im unable to find this one on xda, My other option is to extract it from the OTA but there is no link anywhere to download that, can someone help me with this?
EDITL downloaded from htcdev site its a 100mb file do I flash the whole thing using super tool? if so which option should I pick to flash or goto CWM and flash from zip?
does my bootloader need to be locked before I do this?
anyone?
Is that download actually firmware or the OTA update?... I think it's only source code? Did you download it and check in the .zip file what the actual contents are before you just go and flash random .zip files with your version number on it?
As for stock recovery, correct, I can't find that stock recovery either. Just like with the OTA update most guys that get it don't bother making backup and sharing before doing anything.

They don't specify on the HTC site but when I unzip it there is a .tar file inside it, so I assume its either the ota or kernel source which someone more experienced than me can tell me.
