As the title asks, where can I find the stock ROM for the N7100XXUFND3?
I've tried various sites, but it is hard to find anything that can actually be downloaded. I did find this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-/GT-N7100/XEF/download/N7100XXUFND3/28780/ but it cannot be installed, with the error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.".
Did you follow the instructions on the site how to install the firmware? You have to flash it through Odin (which will wipe your device) not a custom recovery like TWRP.

Thanks for that, don't know how I missed it.
However, when I try to use Heimdall I get: "heimdall packages shouldn't contain links or directories".
However, there are no "links or directories" in the archive.
I extracted the archive manually and attempted to create one which only contains the .img files, tar -cvzf stock_rom.tar.gz *.img.
This gives me that "firmware.xml is missing from the package".

Is it a zip (that doesn't have a tar inside) or is it a tar file? Zip will most likely be in CWM, tar is always ODIN.

What does the file structure look like inside of the zip?
i have downloaded 2 different files that are supposedly 2.3.6 and none of them are working. i have a zip version i got from sammobile.com that i think that is password locked but only gives me an error when i try to extract it. i can open it and theres a md5 file in there
the other one is a rar file and i dont know what to do with it.
i have darkside digital warfare rom but i cannot get it to install correctly thru cwm. i gets to darth vader loading screen blue line fills up then flashes samsung and turns off and thats it.
i just want to get back to stock and take the back and start over with a new one

It's a .tar.md5 file extension?
in the type column just says md5. it doesnt say tar anywhere
Yes they are files to use through odin inside a zip file...
And they are password protected ... You must extract the zip first , then use the file in odin ...
usually samfirmware.com, sammobile.com or something like that ...
thanks for your help guys. i will try tomorrow when i get home from work. i have juggernaut running pretty good on it now
sounds like you have an incomplete dl too
where would i put in the password on the sammobile stock rom? i will redownload it to see if changes
Hi guys, I would like to extract boot.img from a Stock ROM without the need of installing it on my (Galaxy Note 2 T-mobile). All I found on the internet is how to extract it from an installed ROM.
So I would like to:
1. Extract the boot.img
2. Then flash it through ODIN to my custom ROM (Jedi Master 14)
Thanks in advance and please help me :crying:
Why would you do that?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I don't know how you going to use boot.img to fix your problem. But the .md5 rom files are just zipped files. unzip and you will find the boot.img file. Are you sure that this will fix your problem?
Are you trying to change your boot image?
Use a tar archive program (7-Zip, Winzip, Winrar, PKZip, this format is pretty universal) to extract what you need from the official Samsung ROM images. (Check out sammobile.com if you haven't already, you will need to register.)
You might get some error message about the end of the archive, that's normal and due to the presence of the MD5 hash at the end of the file, which most programs will be able to work around nonetheless.
Repack the relevant file with a *nix tar binary, or under Cygwin on a Windows machine. (YMMV, but those are the two only ways I've managed to have the files work with Odin.)
Reboot phone to download mode and flash with Odin as usual.
Done.
Thanks a lot. Thats exactly what I am looking for.

Hello Community,
I tried to install custom recovery using this manual "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_serranoltexx" (<- cannot use the link function, because it's my first post). I followed every step. At point 9 I have to make commands using the cmd. Unfortunately the result is an Error:
Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I had two insecurities while following the manual:
At point 4 I had to rename the recovery image but I'm not sure what the recovery image is. What I downloaded was a .tar.md5 file within a .zip. Do I have to rename the .zip or the .tar.md5? The renaming causes a change of the file type and I cannot really understand, why they didn't put the right file in that .zip at the beginnig...this step is a bit confusing
To point 5: I deinstalled Kies and the device driver in the Windows operating system. Since I've done this, there are appearing two devices in the zadig.exe when I connect my S4. I installed the zadig driver for both of them.
Im using Windows 7 x64
I hope someone can help me, for this moment I don't know what to do further...
greets

I don't know about the libUSB error, and I haven't modded a Galaxy S4 mini, but I have installed CM on Galaxy Player. The tar.md5 has to be extracted from the zip; it is in fact a tar.gz file (tar archive compressed with gzip), but you don't have to rename it.
I flashed the Galaxy Player with Odin 3 v. 3.04, after having installed Kies to have the drivers installed. The Player showed in Odin with something like "ID:0 COM"; I then clicked on the "PDA" button, then pointed to the tar.md5, and clicked flashed, and it worked.
Here are my 2 cents :^)
Is your phone rooted? If rooted already it easy! For the most noob method, install ROM Manager from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager and ROM manager will install the CWM for you. From there, its pretty simple.
If it not rooted, that the first thing you'll have to do.

I found out, the .tar.md5 is also a compressed file. If I extract it, I get a file called "recovery.img". At this point it's not very clear what to do. Because there is nothing to rename. And even if you are right, the tutorial would be also wrong.

This is for installing the custom recovery, that's is the root, isn't it? I had the problem that Heimdall doesn't gets access to the device (lubusb error: -12). It's probably a driver problem.
However, I solved the problem by doing another method using odin. The root was succesfull. Afterwards I will flash the custom rom.

No, custom recovery is not rooting. Not my favourite method but it easy enough, try this: http://www.kingoapp.com/
It a universal root for JB and it will prompt you to install CWM afterwards.
After installing the CWM I rooted the device. I succesfully installed Canogenmod 10.2.1. The Tutorial says explicit, that it only helps for 10.2.x but I want to install the Nightly version which is running at CM version 11. If I could, I would ask this questions in the threat but I'm not allowed yet to post in the developers section. "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474054"
Can I use this tutorial for flashing CM version 11?
Totally lost. Try to download marshmallow tar and update. But I download, open heimdall and use browse for file. But it is not valid to open and put in cue. I don't know what to do. Is it a different file for Apple. Mac socks by the way. I have no other choice.

Tried again. Just fails to load pit file. Doesn't recognize tar file. Can't even choose file. Tried jodin, can't download. Tried smart switch but apparently sprint doesn't allow that either

You have to extract the tar file. What you actually flash is the file with an extension of .MD5.
so i had an issue installing supersu on my sm-a520 and after searching everywhere for the proper firmware file i could only find firmware files in .lz4 format which odin3 would not flash to the device properly i then found a program that is free called classykitchen which allowed me to decompress the .lz4 files then create a system.new.dat file to flash via recovery so if you have run into this issue i recommend finding classykitchen and installing twrp via odin3 then download the firmware file from updato.com unzip that file then when your starting a new project in classykitchen make sure you put bl ap cp and home_csc all in the new project by highlighting all the files and make sure when its done extracting the lz4 files you select create system.new.dat once thats complete put that file to the sdcard wipe the device for a clean install and flash the file youve just created and bingo your phone will be back to stock other then the twrp recovery which i will say is the best recovery ive used in my mind there is no better.. now that ive explained that i'm gonna try installing supersu again and keep on keepin on have a good one

You shouldn't be installing SuperSU on newer versions of Android. Use magisk instead. Then you shouldn't have problems.
