i'm learning how to make flashable zips and in the tutorial i'm reading he says that the one he linked is for that specific device. I understand the script provides access to update commands and functions or something. So if it is specific to each phone, does that mean i can pull the file out of any flashable that works on my phone and use it? if so, how do you make flashables that are universal?
i sense i'm missing some important information about this file, the tutorial is quite breif because he just links the file and says this is the update-binary file for this phone. I google update-binary explained and a few other things and couldn't seem to find anyone who could explain much about the file. my assumption is that the updater-script file calls on functions found in the binary file or something.
edit sorry forgot to mark this as a question
Ok so I tried to flash build.prop through CWM and it seemed to flash ok and then rebooted phone then when I checked the build.prop it was still the same?
As if it didnt write it to the system...
Can someone upload a flashable zip file for build.prop only please as I have tried my own way and another by a popular user
As shown here : LINK
Thanks
in order to create a flashable bootloader.zip we need to be able to extract the bootloader-flo-flo.4.04.img file all the img utilities I tried to unpack that file give a bunch or errors
can anyone see if they are able to unpack that file with imgtool or imgRePackerRK or other?
If anyone can try and unpack the bootloader-flo-flo.4.04.img file I am not sure why I keep getting bad file descriptor errors when trying to unpack it using imgtool
with that unpacked it should be easy to make a flashable bootloader, and there are a bunch of people all over that need this that either do not have access to a machine or like myself the USB port is not working at all on the device.
I second this!
Please!
Pleeeeeease!!!!
OPO Yeauh!!!
Agreed! I currently donr have a computer so i cant update rhe bootloader
The recovery flashable bootloader can now be downloaded from the link posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...shable-factory-image-zips-android-5-t2939599/
Be sure to thank @eksasol I bugged him so much I feel really bad now, awesome work!
Hello all, I need some help finding the .tar or the .md5 file from the stock ROM zip file (Tab Pro 8.4).
I am trying to flash / revert back to stock ROM and recovery, since I am giving this tablet to my nephew. I've downloaded the official firmware directly from Samsung, I've downloaded Odin V3.07 and the samsung drivers are installed on my laptop. I've used Odin before, to flash files (months ago), but where I'm getting stuck is on Odin when I go to select the .tar or the .md5 file form the zip, I can't locate the files. I've extracted them several times using different methods, but not a single time have I been able to extract a .tar or .md5 file, all I get is: META-INF folder, system folder and boot disk image, no .tar or .md5 file anywhere in the folders either.
Am I an idiot here or what am I doing wrong that I don't get the .tar or .md5 file?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
i am not sure where you downloaded it from. i took it from sammobile and the name of the zip is: T320XXU1BNI1_T320DBT1BNJ1_DBT.zip inside it being a file named: T320XXU1BNI1_T320DBT1BNJ1_HOME.tar.md5

I am downloading it one more time from sam mobile just to make sure. How did you extract the zip (what program)? 7zip, winrar, etc?
i think i know whats going on. i use winrar for windows you probably use something else. inside .zip there is a .md5 file but inside .md5 file there are meta folders etc. some software consider it being an archive inside an archive and it doesn't even bother to tell you that probably it's extracting folders directly...

use 7 zip, there should be a .tar.md5 in the .zip only extract the .tar.md5. dont extract anything from the tar.md5. just select the tar.md5 in odin after you put your device in download mode
