Hello
I probably have a beginner problem. I'm trying to flash a custom ROM via Odin but when I download a ROM like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/thunderrom800-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-t2840209 I only find a lot of folders but no .md5/.tar file that I need in order to flash it via Odin....
Where do I get the right file from?
That will be a zip file flashable through a custom recovery... No PC or Odin required.
Odin is for Samsung stock firmware's

Problem is I can't boot my device anymore, TWRP and Download Mode still working but anyway this means that I can't download anything on the tablet itself...
Just to make sure, when I want to install a custom ROM with TWRP or CWM I just need to put the zip on to the machine (don't even unzip it?) and I can flash it?
you can put a ROM in a micro sd card and flash with twrp

I just transferred the zip from my pc to the downloads folder on my tab s so when i boot into twrp and hit install, I just need to find it in my downloads folder and let it flash.

Let's get straight to the topic,
I have an Android Device runnning on Android 4.2.1 named "Samsung Galaxy Fame GT-S6810" which is ROOTED. and now i want to know how to install a CUSTOM ROM like CynogenMod in this device. Help me please.
You have to install a compatible custom recovery at first, like CWM or TWRP. If you have the recovery as a .tar or .md5 file, flash it with Odin. Of you have it as a .zip file, you can flash it with the preinstalled recovery using the "apply update" option. After install wipe data and caches (you'll loose all your data at internal storage, so make sure you have a backup) and flash the ROM.zip file of your SD card. After that, flash a compatible gapps- package.zip and reboot. Hope this helps.

ROOT your phone, you could make it via odin, it's simple.
Flash CWMR via odin from corsicanu or TWRP.
Download the files that you will need
Make a total wipe
Format System
Flash the rom
Flash the gapps
Reboot your phone and you will have a custom rom.
Hope i help you.
Hello, my friend has a Ace 2 (GT-I8160) and he wanted me to try and install CM 11 on his phone. I managed to root it and install temporary CWM on it, however his version of CWM could not flash CM 11 ROM's because it was outdated. I Googled around and found a TWRP .img file that I decided to flash via ODIN (CWM couldn't flash any TWRP .zip files for some reason). Everything went perfectly fine with ODIN, however my friends phone could not go pass the Samsung logo, it would appear for a few seconds and then the screen would go black. He also couldn't go into recovery but he could go into Download mode. Thinking that it was a recovery problem, I managed to get a .img file of TWRP 2.8.6.0 by Chronomonochrome and flash that via ODIN. Still the same problem - phone won't go pass the logo, however it can go into recovery.
So, now the phone boots perfectly to Download mode and recovery - and it can do everything from the recovery, like making backups, wiping, etc, but it cannot boot to the OS itself. I still haven't flashed a custom ROM on his phone because he didn't have the ROM file on his phone at the time nor could be transfer it to his phone via his PC because of some driver issue.
I'm currently downloading I8160XXBN1 firmware from Samsung Updates to flash via ODIN and try to get his phone back into working state. However, I also planned on placing my SD Card (which has the CM rom and Gapps on it) into his phone and flashing a new, custom ROM instead of flashing the firmware.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Should I flash official firmware via ODIN or just flash the ROM using the recovery?
Thanks in advance.
I've had AOKP & TWRP installed for nearly 3 years. The phone started rebooting occasionally when I would go to manage apps and kill an app. It finally got hosed really good on the last reboot and it got stuck in a TWRP boot loop. I was able to use odin to reflash TWRP and after the initial flash I could get into TWRP recovery. Unfortunately I don't have any of the necessary image files on the sdcard. I then tried to flash a converted AOKP zip (now a tar converted with toolkit). I am not able to get either the toolkit or adb detect the device although I am able to flash with odin. I flashed the AOKP tar image with odin but now when it boot it stays on the Galaxy Note 2 screen and goes no further.
Now I can only get in download mode and since odin seems to be the only thing that is working for me my question is can I use it to flash AOKP and GAPPS (both of which I have on computer)? If so, what format does the AOKP file need to be? img, tar or what? Also can I convert the gapps zip file to a tar and use odin to flash it?
Much thanks in advance. I plan to purchase a new device soon but would like to get this working again as a backup.

Use a stock/rooted .tar image to restore the device partition structure.
It contains the PIT for remapping...
Once a stock rooted rom is flashed and running...flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 via Odin...
Then create a nandroid backup to SD CARD..
You can then flash AOKP and GAPPS as .zip files...in TWRP
It's a bit more work....but you'll have a clean backup and a way back if trouble hits...along with fresh partitions...g
I recommend flashing back to stock, get the phone set up using stock, install TWRP, take a nandroid backup, and then flash a custom ROM.
i tried to flash custom rom but it failed i need to restore the stock recovery.
the problem is that my phone has a problem in mini usb it doesnt work when i connect it to pc
is there a way to flash rom or recovery without pc
If you have a working custom recovery, you can try to convert the stock recovery to a zip and flash it that way. If you have a working ROM, you can try to use adb commands to push the recovery to the phone.
BTW, this is not the correct forum for your phone.

i dont have one i searched for one but i havnt find yet
if u can help me to find one and give me the instructions how to flash it
considering that usb socket doesnt work i cant connect it to computer
You can download the stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, convert to zip, and flash in recovery.
If flashing a rom failed, flashing stock recovery is not going to help because you need to flash a stock rom.
Did you search in the ace forum?

You would need a working custom recovery. You can put a rom into an sd card and flash in from custom recovery.

If you are using custom rom, then simply download rom extract boot.img and place it on desktop, open odin and flash twrp in odin, after that reboot to recovery and put extracted boot.img in your phone, after that just flash it on boot partition! If stock then download latest firmware and flash it on odin!
