Hello everyone,
I have a ZIP file downloaded using Kies and saved with Kies Patcher.
How can I create a ODIN package?
Link: Hotfile - JP5_JP4_JPP_TIM.zip

99 views & no reply? LOL.
@OP, Extract the contents using a unzipper like winrar or 7zip. tell me the contents.

Also tell me where you downloaded it from.

Curious aswel!!!

Here's the content. I downloaded it from Kies. It's the official package of Froyo for italian branded TIM smartphones
Thank you!

Did you find a tar file in the zip? Use that

Help Using Odin To Upgrade Stock Firmware

I would like to upgrade my stock firmware to KL4 using Odin and am unsure if I need a Pit file or will the tar file be all that I need. Also, do I need to select "Re-Partition" in Odin?
Thanks for any help

you dont need the pit file, you just need the tar file or the files containe within the tar file

If you have 3 files after extracting (CODE,MODEM,CSC) then attach these three files as PDA=CODE , PHONE=MODEM, CSC=CSC, if you have one file the attach it in PDA,
Then UnCheck Re-partition,
no need to select Pit file,
Put your phone in download mode,
Attach phone to PC
Once your PC detects your Phone Click Start
After Flashing Device restarts twice. Done..

Thanks very much for your very helpful reply.

Remember using PC Odin to update, you are closing way to Root your device, If you want to Root it, just Root before it. See installation guide on my signature for further detail

Thanks for your advice and the guides which are very helpful. I've downloaded the German stock ROM (LA4) from your list but I've been unable to extract the tar file using Winzip, so I'm stuck at the moment. Any further help from anyone how to extract the files would be appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help. I didn't know that Winzip did not work and that I needed 7z which I have downloaded and extracted the tar file.

I had a problem with Odin. Could not get it to flash la4 no matter what I tried.
So I bought mobile odin , put the relevant file on my phone and I was upgraded in under ten min Awesome app, sometimes its worth payin some money to get the job done

I used google translator and that's the result of the post above:
All items are strictly in the order do not jump over them and keep the sequence!
Spoiler (+ / -) (I advise you to read before flashing)
to the root of drive C:
Two. Download Attachment SmartFlashTool_External.rar (1.18 MB) Number of downloads: 37
and extract the root of drive C:
3. Download Attachment Superuser.zip (611.2 KB) Number of downloads: 51
and put ( no need to unpack ) File on the SD-card phone
4. Turn off the phone.
Five. We hold the Volume Up (+) and insert the USB cable one end into the computer, the other into the phone
6. We will have the text of S / W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading ...
Spoiler (+ / -)
7. Run the file B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe
Eight. Go to the tab ROM copy D / L
9. Select the two files that you extracted from the archive [PATCHED] BIN_LGP970AT-00-V20a-CIS-XXX-JAN-06-2012 +0.7 z
10. Check:
Spoiler (+ / -)
11. Click the Start button
12. Go to the process of the firmware, go to drink coffee \ tea shorter depart away from your computer to your phone
13. When you sign Download Comlete! Go to the phone
Spoiler (+ / -)
14. On the phone, we see the regime Recovery (touch it, the management of a finger)
15. Select install zip from sdcard
16. Then choose zip from sdcard
17. Prolistyvayem and choose Superuser.zip
18. Prolistyvayem and select Yes - Install SuperUser.zip
19. Select + + + + Go back + + + +
20. Choose wipe data / factory reset
21. Prolistyvayem and select Yes - delete all user data
22. Then reboot system now
That's it! Phone is loaded, if you do it right!
As a result, we have a firmware with the Root-V20A human touch and Recovery! Thank you all and good luck to you in the firmware!

Dont exactly know, what it does, but as far as I get it, it roots the device and installs CWM touch.
Credits go to poster, if it is successful.

Hey, thanks for posting here. Here is v20b : http://www.lgmobiles.com/gsm/download/P970 V20B(Gingerbread Version).rar
We don't have it for N version. I saw the russian forum and wanted to ask you about howvyou managed to root v20a before this method.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

this method is working just v20a(attachment patched bin file) right?
Where how I convert .kdz to .bin file?

I know russian very well.So i shortly translate all procedure done here.
They patched original 20A bin file , changing system recovery.img with clocworkmod recovery.img touch version.
Download 20A.bin extract it,and put somewhere in your computer.
and below there is a CWM flashable superuser.zip.
Download it and put to your Sd kart.Do not extract.
Then simply flash that patched 20A bin file with smart flash procedure posted here from radkor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
After finished flashing with smartflash tool go to cwm recovery and install superuser.zip
and you get rooted original 20A ginger.
Nice option for flashing and rooting
but we do not have 20N bin file yet.
we have only indian version 20B bin file, redpik posted it above

Thread moved
Unless it's a ROM or kernel you've created yourself, this doesn't belong in Development.

Doesn't SmartFlash auto erases all user data (factory reset at first boot)?

Okey... Maybe, tomorrow I will be a version (.bin) V20N
Sorry for my English

Ok. Let me try to understand this. They replace "system recovery.img" which is reside in the original rom bin file with "cwm recovery.img" (where to get this file?) and then flash it using smartflash tool. So after reset by smartflah, cwm is already in the phone installed. Then all is easy, proceed to install superuser.zip, etc..etc.zip.
How is it possible to obtain root by inserting cwm in the rom while cwm itself require root to run? Also, what's the "system recovery.img" that got replaced. Is it important?
Please investigate more. Need more info on how "patching" is done too. I don't understand russian.

I guess you need to investigate more how android works. Flashing recovery image with the whole system in a bin file makes cmw part of the "original" firmware so,like recovery that only can erase all this one can read/write in the system files. Sounds normal. I read on Samsung forums that they get root for latest versions by flashing a patched odin file and then a su zip. I will try it

Then we can say that this is universal method as long as cwm can be patch into the rom. Finding exploit is not necessary anymore. So, what's the function of the file replaced in the rom. Is it the original lg recovery method which is not available anymore if this we use this method?
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder why it hasn't be use before, maybe because lack of rom file in bin format?
Edit: downloading rom in your link, pls post how to proceed if you get hold of it.

The problem is that we don;t know how to extract .bin files and modify the content. Just the first post has the good link I posted the stock v20B so he would patch it

to get the files out of a kdz: grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. So either you update for real (in which case you have the time to grab the files) or you create a symbolic link between the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone folder and another folder you create say name it C:\test. What happens is that files get extracted and then \phone folder deleted when no phone is detected but the files remain on the \test folder. So you get your files which are a "model.dll" file (in p970 case i guess something like lgp970.dll) and a .wdb file which is the firmware. How to proceed though to tinker further with the .wdb file so as to get bin file and baseband still elludes me

I bet our rom cooker knew how to unpack and repack. So, anyone?

update: doing some research and it seems to extract the bin files you need lgutils and the .dll file you get from the kdz extraction but I am not at home to look into it any further.

Stable ROOT METHOD found!
You don't need this, disabling LG MODEM DEVICE under modems makes UNLOCKROOT work on every firmware! TESTED on 20N german version!

Unfortunately that didn't work.

Is file on your phone or computer? What zip program do you use on your computer?

File on computer....tried WinRAR and 7zip.

I know you can open it in winzip and then do a save as and save it as a zip file. Not sure that will help.
Did you use the convert feature in WinRAR?
Is the download corrupt?

I'll try Winzip now see what happens.

WinZip failed too...any help?

What exactly is failing?

"Cannot open file. Does not appear to be a valid archive".

Sounds like it's corrupt. Download again.

Downloaded multiple times...that's why I'd like it if anyone could link me a good file :/

Cmon guys I seriously need help I can't use my phone!

Download playground and kernel and reflash.

I cannot flash the kernel...because I'm on S-OFF and I need to adb push the Wifi module driver...now to do that I need to change the name of the file in the zip. But I can't access the zip...

But isn't the Wifi module in the rom? If you are s-off, download the rom via computer, copy to sd card and flash. Do the same with the kernel. Unless I'm missing something.

The file isn't for unpacking as I remember you just need to edit the filename and remove the .7z extension and copy it over the current one.
It should only be S-ON users that had to do this as I remember too.

Hmm I thought the filename I had to edit was in the actual zip. Thanks...

You can't just rename a 7zip file you need to extract and than re-compress the files into a zip file.

There is a thread about unpacking a kdz to bin and fls and another one about how to extract all partitions from the .bin file.
Then mount this system.bin file (should be explained as well in this thread) and grab the file you need. Or download a ROM based on v30c and extract it from /system/app
