Separate an One Package ROM

Hi
Please I'd like to know if it's possible to create a Complete ROM (3 files - Modem, PDA and CSC) from an One Package ROM (only one .TAR file).
And is that really useful? After this process, can we only flash the CSC file with Odin (Desktop)?
Thanks for your help. (always appreciated help)

Yes you can extract single ROM file and later create tar file for each component
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.

Thanks dr.ketan.
Extracting a tar file we obtain several img files (system.img, hidden.img, boot.img, recovery.img...) (from my own experience with an official rom of a French telephone company).
How could I know which img files is for the Odin's fields PDA, Phone, CSC...?
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.

Atm I don't have Mobile Odin. Do u mean that we can flash .img file thanks to this app?
And do u know if this kind of Full Package flash is better than a One Package one? The result could be different?
Thanks again for your explanation.

System. Is PDA, modem is phone, boot is kernel, recovery is recovery this is different component of ROM file
Single file flashing flash all required component on one go, while individual useful when you want to flash only single component.
PC odin can flash tar file but not. img file, you have to convert it to tar
While mobile odin can flash tar as well img file too.

Ready to flash firmware, just one last thing
Hello, I have a gt-n7100 which I bought in china and I am looking in to flashing the firmware into the UK version as this chinese version has bloatware and i cant access google play or install many apps even if i get them from other markets. The guys here are all a great help but im stuck on one bit of info.
As I have read the threads, I see that the chinese note 2 cannot be flashed with other firmware using Odin PC, because it has a different bootloader ..(is my understanding correct?) So the solution would be to root it and use Odin Mobile instead. But i cant get mobile odin pro because i can never access the google play because it is blocked by this firmware. (ZCALJ6) So I have to use mobile odin LITE, which the tutorial says I have to manually download and install seperate files such as flash kernels. Thats fine, I located the files needed but i dont know when to install it and run it ? Before I install odin or after? or after I have flashed the new firmware or before? And when I install it what should i do next?....because i couldnt find where it says anything about that process, just goes on to explain that mobile odin PRO does it all for you automatically and picks it up from there.
Seriously in need of help, this chinese firmware does to note 2 what kryptonite does to superman.

[Q] N5100 Stock Recovery flashable via Odin

Hi,
I'm trying to flash my tablet with the stock rom, unfortunately the Nand Write fail again and again...
I bought 2 USB cables, I tried many computers... but nothing
I read somewhere that flashing the stock recovery would help. But I can't find it.
Anybody know where I can find the stock recovery flashable via Odin ?
Thank you by advance

Not sure, but every Firmware (Download at sammobile) contains all parts, even recovery.img. May be u can flash this via ur custom recovery. U need to know what partition to flash. But u can use any recovery-flashable ZIP from another recovery and change the recovery.img in the ZIP before flashing it in custom recovery. Simply extract recovery.img from Firmware.tar.md5 (rename to .tar and open with ZIP-Programm)...
As I said, there is recovery.img in all Original-Firmwares, so if it wont write to nand, I dont think it would help to flash recovery before flashing Firmware, but may be...

What you are trying above MUST fail, cause downgrading is NOT possible.
Flash newest firmware instead, this is a real start from the beginning, afterwards flash a new custom recovery and you will be able to successfully run any custom rom around here.

Thanks Androidwizzard

You will flash original firmware for your region, so no need for PIT, just flash firmware tab PDA/AP

And it worked like a charm
Bingo.....:good:

I need stock firmware from ANYONE SM-t807A it does not exist on the web.

I have spent days looking, turn on goes to kies firmware screen yet when i put in the model and s/n it shuts and the new samsung app to replace kies is of no help. I can get to the download screen and odin shows it up but no ATT 10.5 Tab S Sm-T807A firmware ANYWHERE.
Please help this is a very very expensive paperweight and im not affiliated with ATT so them helping me is out of the question.

They dont have it for the SM-T807A

0 Results found
You searched for "sm-t807a"

It would better if you just explain what state the tablet is in and how it got to that state.
There is no official software for the t807a.

OK here how it goes,
The tablet was completely fine.
The original owner ( a family member) tried to root it and didnt accomplish it, somehow through his process it ended up softbricked.
I can enter he download mode for odin but no firmware for this LTE model.
When I turn it on it goes to the kies screen but kies doesnt recognize it, and when I enter the serial it buffers for 2 seconds then closes the process of kies.
Also it says device isnt supported and yes I have installed the right drivers and uninstalled kies numerous times.
The new replacement prog for Kies (forgot the name) is no help either.
Im terrified of what to do next as it does go to the odin screen just no firmware as I stated.

Any update, or could someone upload the stock firmware so i can use Odin on it.
Samsung told me ATT can flash it for free onto it so its deff a possibility however I do not have a ATT account so they cant help me.

It doesn't boot because the stock recovery has been wiped/replaced.
Thats assuming you have tried to boot recovery?
The att models are all bootloader locked.
I'm surprised a bootloader locked device even allowed an unsigned image to flash or did they use something like flashify?
The stock ota update was posted by someone here a while back. Your only chance is to pull the recovery from it and try and flash it in download mode. However odin may refuse to flash it.
If I can find it I can pull out the recovery.img and post a modified cf_autoroot which will try and flash the original recovery, that's if odin will even accept the image.

I was used with something like kingroot.

this i would highly appreciate as the firmwares not deleted just corrupted.

i have searched the whole web.
here is the link to the pulled stock sm-t807a files from a xda member

PowerfulJY, any successfull update with your SM-T807A journey?
I have the same problem as you, and Odin refuses to flash your firmware files

The images won't flash as they are raw unsigned images.
The update should contain a signed recovery image, but may still not flash with odin as the tar package you make will not be signed either and odin may refuse to flash
There may be a way though, another member managed to brick their device by flashing twrp using Heimdall, but couldn't then flash back the stock recovery with Heimdall.
If somehow the stock recovery can be forced to flash with Heimdall then there's a chance of unbricking the device.

I worked just flashed the FW part through AP did it on a friends pc all is back to new.
if you need a link for the ripped files just pm me.

also odin was used.

Unfortunately, Heimdall shows the same behaviour as Odin has.
AFAIK they are using the same protocol and seems that recovery CRC/sign check done via device internally, not via flashing tool.

Did you use command line or gui?

I used GUI, i didnt do the bootloader or choose any special clickies, I simply tried another pc with the same FW and it flashed in a hearbeast with PASS.
USB hubs are the devil, TRY EVERY USB PORT YOU HAVE
Kies sucks so does the new one.
any issues PM me and ill set you straightm any public questions ask away.
You have to download the IMG files and use the IMG to TAR app, I will provide a ZIP with all tars included but I assure you dont start ****ing around with bootloader images stick to AP.
AT&T is he devil.
The new Rockstar Whipped Strawberry OWNS, Oraneg Creme is Meh.

The gui question was for synphonica about Heimdall.
Are you saying you flashed the images with odin? Which version and which images?
This has been tried before and failed.
Also what do you mean you tried a pc with the same firmware, same firmware as what?

I'm new to rooting so be gentle, I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a (AT&T) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to backup the stock ROM (firmware) so I can go back just in case I bricked it when rooting or installing custom ROM. I searched the web but there are no clear instruction on how to do it for an unrooted sm-t807a. Can someone provide me with a step-by-step instruction? I can share my backup of the stock ROM afterward since there does not seem to be one on the web. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.
Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.
The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.
This is tricky so research how to do it.
There is one backup I know of:

I cant install custom rom by Odin > give > Fail >
write protection enable , GT-I9192
Plz need to help :crying:

What device model do you have, what ROM are you trying to install and which recovery image are you using?
You would want to flash your custom ROM from your custom recovery(that you would flash with Odin) directly from the handset, rather than installing a custom ROM from within Odin...
