can anyone tell what is the difference between a .tar file and .tar.md5 file? cos i downloaded a pda file that is .tar.md5 from here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/104777809/7737...A.tar.rar.html
and normally when flashing via odin theres always the .tar file only...
so i renamed the md5 file by deleting the ending(.md5) and seems like nothing changed to the file size etc(is it still safe to use in odin?). just need to know which file should i use to flash the single pda, the .tar or .tar.md5?(which is safer?)
thanks!!!

Ahahahaha for real? Nothing changed to the file size? . You know my HDD got suddenly light as I deleted some big files
Sorry, really sorry for that . I just couldn't resist .
the file is the same, has nothing to do with the "ending"
you can flash it .the md5 just suggest it has a checksum/hash maybe there
http://goo.gl/SGj1d
Just Google MD5 .
Its a verification of the file is all ..

hey guys i have a problem with the cymod 4.99 rom.i ca paste it normally in odin(aries ve ops and the cymod.tar file)but odin doesnt recognize the rom .what can i do?
Hm, can you explain that a little bit further ?
What file do you have downloaded ?
There are two links, one for a rar and one for a zip.
The Rar file is the right one, the zip is only a update if you want to update a 4-9 to a 4.99.
For odin you must use the cymod-04-99.rar.
You first must unrar this one, then you find a .tar, the Odin - exe and a Aries.ops.
Use the odin in the rar, choose "One-Package", select the Aries.ops @ ops and the tar at "One Package".
This should work just fine...

Don’t give me a fish, teach me how to fish.
I would like to help you fishing but I'M NOT RESPOSIBLE IF YOU ENDED BY CACHING A SHARK
I had downloaded a rom with removed bootloader from annson08 thread, by opening the .tar archive i noticed that he did just removed the arm11boot file from the package nothing else.
so maybe removing this file from your ROM and flashing it like usual will do the trick

Unpack rom..search bootanimation.zip.....replace with any other of ur choice

i know that he just removed arm11boot but when i did that with many method i didn't succed to add it to "odin multi downloader" it crashs every time when i add the new file without bootloader i think that is not just unpack,remove and repack there is something special to make odin fish a fish not a shark

I believe the method requires linux (/cygwin)...

yeah i used cygwin too but i failed to make the output file work on odin!!!
i used this method from yagya:
Code:
cd firmware_directory
// Goes inside firmware directory
tar -cf firmware_name.tar amss mibib oemsbl qcsbl boot.img recovery.img system.rfs csc.rfs
// This will create a tar_file named firmware_name.tar containing all the files mentioned afterwards. You'll need to check if all files except arm11boot are included or not and add (or remove) to or from above list.
md5sum firmware_name.tar >> firmware_name.tar
// Checks md5sum of the tar file.
mv firmware_name.tar >> firmware_name.tar.md5
// Renames the firmware file. The outcome of this is your flashable zip file.
[optional] gzip firmware_name.tar.md5
//zips the firmware_name.tar.md5 file as gz format. It is easier while sharing the file since it reduces the file size by almost 50 %.
you did everything correct but the problem of Odin crashing is its a md5 file then you remove the arm11boot md5 of file changes which makes the Odin crash
steps to correct it:-
1. extract everything from package
2. delete arm11boot
3. then download a software which can create a tar package
4. with that software create an empty tar package
5. put all the files in that tar package
then then you are ready to flash

Did you just flash an update .zip that included the boot.img and the recovery.img?!
Im pretty sure that you should not do that!
Why are the the 2 Ste_boot. imgs being flashed to the same location? or there in the first place?
From the info you posted above it seems like the Partitions are pretty much messed up.
If you cant get into download mode then there is no way you can fix it.
I ended up having a brick from a CWM touch recovery (not yours) I couldn't fix and I ended up flashing stock everything and rerooting.
Sent from Spaceball One.
I can reboot into download mode and i can flash rom stock or other I have lost internal disque ( is shown but with no exacte size I have -100000000 in size for the internal storage if i can flash with an full erras this can fix ?

Do not format your device with any tools if you don't know what they do.
The device has a single flash chip, repartitioned into several Partitions, if you attempt to format you will format the partition table, then the device will require a new motherboard.
Those 3 files are separate partitions instead of one tar, quite common in other devices.
I would try to repackge the original images into separated tars,something like this....
boot.img as boot.tar
modem bin as phone.tar
cache.image as csc.tar
system.img and all remaning .img files, as pda.tar
then flash the all together via odin with repartition.
