Newb here to Odin/Philz.
I have a zip containing recovery.img. I think Odin v3.07 is looking for a tar or md5. anyone know how I need to proceed? Looking to change the recovery to try out CM 12.1.
Before I get slammed to RTFM, and search is your tool, which perhaps I deserve, I have been searching, and the only downloadable copy of Philz I have found for d2lte/d2spr is "philz_touch_6.57.5-d2lte.zoip", which has the .img inside it.
TIA...Eric
If I remember right the philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip is a flashable zip. No need for odin.
Edit: I just noticed the name of your zip is different from the one I use but a tar is what you would normally use in odin.
If it's a flashable zip, how would I load it onto a stock rom?
All the threads I have read so far say to load a bootloader from Odin, but no mention of Philz, only CWM or TWRP. I assumed that Philz would be the same, but I found a thread which is the "official" Philz thread, and the link within it for the file is dead.
I just reread the thread, and it says "Flash the above in recovery and then do a "reboot recovery" to get into Philz Touch!"
Would that be the stock recovery?

Hey guys, i was wondering if any one has a tar file of any clockwork mod recovery that i can flash in odin. I've searched all of the recovery threads in the dev section and it seems that all of the tar files have been pulled.
I tried to flash the newest Rogue recovery (stock EL13 1.1.2) and it didn't take. I am now stuck on stock recovery. I tried to use rom manager to flash clockwork but it not working, i also tried to rename the recoveries that i have in zip format to update but they keep giving the signature error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I discovered the .TAR file for ODIN for anyone that needs to put 5.0.2.7 on their phone as recommended by MOST of the Chef's.

Hey XDA,
I have a rooted S3 AT&T running stock rom with no recovery. I would like to install CWM Recovery, however I noticed it was an .img file, and Odin can only flash .tar files. So is it possible to use MobileODIN to flash cwm recovery or am I stuck to using the adb code to flash it. I have tried using CWM Rom manager app to flash/install cwm recovery however it is giving me an error ("Error downloading CWM Recovery) whenever I try to download the cwm recovery image from within the app. So will the mobile odin method work???
Thanks in advance XDA!!
Hi, another alternative is to use an app called "Flashify" off the Play Store,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
You can use this to flash recovery images and it has some useful tools, too. I have not used it before, so I can't recommend from experience but it has great reviews off the Play Store. As for the recovery images, you can use this link, find your device and download the latest version of CWM
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Again this is all information, and I am in no way, shape, or form responsible for anything and everything that may/may not happen to your device. Hope this helps!
Im looking for preferably the latest TWRP in Tar format so I can load it with Odin. I currently have CWM but would rather have TWRP.
I tried GooManager but keep getting the "webpage not found error". I tried Recovery Tools but didn't have success.I tried ROM Manager but it
keeps loading CWM. Still noobish so flashing with terminal emulator is foreign territory. Please help.

Here are the download links for the d2att recoveries straight from TWRP's site.
FYI, GooManager installs TWRP and ROM Manager installs CWM. Also, the latest official TWRP recovery won't flash 4.4 ROMs, CWM on the other hand can.
Here's the link to the Unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.1 which supports 4.4 ROMs. It's a zip file that can only be flashed through a recovery though.
Thanks for the reply and information. For some reason I just like TWRP and coupled with the fact that I am stuck makes me want it more.
Whenever i download the tar file under that link, it extracts to a img file. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Got it working, I used flashify from play store and flashed latest TWRP image file in less than 5 seconds.
On to the next adventure.

Your welcome, I'm glad that everything worked out for you.
Also, you're not supposed to extract the tar file, it's meant to be flashed though Odin. The img file is meant to be installed via the terminal emulator.
Does anyone have a copy of the newest CWM .tar file? I need it to flash in Odin to get my phone out of soft brick. Can't use TWRP, keep getting errors and can't flash my phone back to stock, get errors there too. Tried downloading the newest CWM .img file and converting it but have no success there either. This is my last hope........
