Here is the new XXCMC5 Rom for Germany. I will be using this in the new Redemption. But figured I would share it with everyone if they wanted to use it. This is just the base rom and boot.img and modem.bin from the Firmware. I just extracted from the firmware and Deodexed it completeley. Other than that is it completely untouched. Please feel free to use at your discrection.
It will be at the link below in roughly 30 min.
Android Files Host Folder
I will not be making a stock image of this rom nor will I be making any changes to this zip. And once again this is not flashable, it is just the system folder, boot.img, and modem zipped up in one package.

Is it possible to extract an APK from a ROM File?
If i take the JM5 ROM, I can unRar it and then I can unTar the md5 file that is the ROM - but from there I just get a bunch of system files that I assume are images of partitions. The big one is the factoryfs.rfs - is there a way to pull an apk out of here, or do i have to install on a device first and save the APKs i want?
Thanks.

Just tell us what application your looking for(remember to follow the forum rules before replying )
Hello friends,
after trying lots of roms i decided to build my own rom
based on jvo.
I took the cwm version jvo which is allready deodexed
and zipaligned from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Then i extracted the files, inserted some files from xda developers
and deleted a lots of apps i dont use.
After that i packed everything with WinRAR in normal kompression mode.
I put the rom on the internal sd then and tried to install it via cwm.
But the installation only takes 1 sek and nothing changes.
Is there someting i do wrong?
BTW: I flashed jvo with bootloader via odin first, then cfroot for jvo to get
cwm.
Sorry for poor english guys.
After that i packed everything with WinRAR in normal kompression mode.
Win Rar is that the correct format . .rar

What JJEgan said, you want be using a zip format.
I actually find it easier to not decompress the whole rom and just insert/remove things into the original archive with WinRAR, done this with kernels, modems apps etc.
Many users wanted to flash their own CSC on custom ROM. Here is small guide how to get original CSC from base and add to custom ROM.
1.Download your desired ROM from SamMobile (OR use if you have any base already with you from same region)
2.Extract zip to get tar.md5 - again extract it to get cache.img.
3.Get Img Extractor from here Extract exe file on a new folder. copy extracted Cache.img in this folder as well.
4.Drag and drop cache.img you have extracted from base on ImgExtractor.exe
5.You will see newly created folder cache.img_ along with exe
6.Open cache.img_ - recovery - sec_csc folder, you will see system folder. - Drag and drop that system folder on you desktop.
7.Now download csc_changer_new.zip template from here and drag and drop system folder on root of zip. (so after this when you open zip you should see three folders data, META-INF and system)
8.Flash that zip immediately after flashing ROM.
Update : Updated script so it will auto backup all ROM CSC features and auto restore after changing CSC

Using 7zip on Windows I get a cache.img.ext4 file which does not create the expected files when dropped onto ImgExtractor.exe.
May I get a clue?

Don't drop cache.img direct from zip. First drag to desktop then drop on exe

Thank you for your reply...
I put both files on my desktop and then dropped the file onto the .exe.
It seemed to do something but still no folder.
Log saying folder created. Look again folder somewhere on desktop. Better you make new folder and put exe inside it then drop cache.img so it's can easily located inside that new folder

Okey dokey, I think I'll settle this once and for all.
@catseyenu was using the wrong download link. As you can see from going to the download page there are 2 download buttons, the first which says "Download" is a fake download link and will redirect you to another site and try to get you to download some sort of software in .exe form.
The correct link is the one that says "Download Now" which I have verified this and was able to download it without any problems.
With Dev-Host it is a case of knowing which download link to press. On a side note, our (XDA's) partnership with Dev-Host has ended due to them not wanting to control the ads that they have and often redirecting users to other sites and trying to get them to download possibly malicious software. Due to this I would encourage the OP to use other file hosts such as AndroidFileHost for example.
Thank you Jonny for clarifying the status of the malicious host.

Actually for small Download I also prefer mega which is now a days offers highest Download speed and most users prefer it. Initially I have posted link was mega. But I need to update it and particularly this file targeted for Indian users, and many provider in India have blocked mega so this time I made dev host upload.
For rom I prefer dev /pCloud and Media fire bcoz all three gives Web upload (remote uoload) option so I can provide three mirrors by uploading at one place.
Again thank you very much for being with us always.

German CSC for N910F
Hey Guys,
if anybody is looking for the german csc you can download it from here: http://workupload.com/file/Km2FjCof
I made it according to dr. ketans explanation. Just one thing when I go into phone info / CSC-Code it states:
Original CSC.-Code: INU
Firmware CSC-Code: DBT
Active CSC Code: INU/ DBT
Available CSC.-Codes: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO
CSC Country: Germany/DE
Do I need to use the csc changer apk and therefore wipe everything? Or am I good even though active CSC is Indian and German??
I am on Nameless Rom 4.2 and the reason for me doing this was because of the message I receive on every boot up stating: Texting just got better.... Where you need to give your mobile number (you can also just click 2 times on no but thats not an option for me) But even after I flashed my CSC zip it still shows up.
@dr. Ketan do you have a solution or did i do something wrong? I did it step by step. Hope to receive an answer.
Probably that is issue of rom and not csc.
Indian csc causing send a text message to Indian number that should be fixed (on latest nameless I think prefixed) by changing csc
Sent from my SM-N920I using xda premium
I solved with the csc changer app, i switched to dbt and had to wipe everything. Restored my apps and date with titanium backup, now i am running with german csc on nameless rom 4.2
And the texting got better pop up disappeared
CSC Note 5
I tried this on my new note 5. I flashed a TMOBILE rom and that totally screws with csc and features. This does work in the sense that it brings back my multi csc for my Canadian note. However where I get the problems is similar to the gentleman above. It only partially applies the csc that I need. When I flash the zip. It attributes a generic out of the US csc XAC. When i try something like Phone info Samsung to change it to RWC. It only changes where its says active csc and it still shows XAC as also active. ANd firmware csc and original csc still show as XAC. Why when i flash the stock rom does it default to RWC eventhough the csc files are the same, but with a custom rom XAC?
Hello community,
I'm currently trying to modify the stock rom for my GT-I8200n. I didn't find cwm for the S III mini VE, and the version of twrp I found was very buggy. So I need an odin-compatible flash file for my rom. I tried to modify the stock rom by downloading the .tar.md5 from sammobile, unpacked it with winrar and copied the system.img into an ubuntu-VM. After that I created a sys.img (or sys.raw, same problem) out of system.img using the simg2img-file I found somewhere here on xda, mounted sys.img (or sys.raw) and modified it. Then I unmounted it and used img2simg to create my system_new.img. Copied it to my windows system, into the unpacked stock rom folder, renamed it to system.img, overwriting the old system.img and packed everything into a .tar file using ZArc. Now while flashing my ROM, odin works on the system.img for some minutes and then shows a fail.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
P.S.: I tried simply using simg2img on my stock system.img and then - without mounting and modifying - used img2simg kn the sys.img file. Same problem with odin and I noticed that my new system.img is approximately 50 mb smaller than the stock img, although I didn't modify it.
I hope I described my problem well (I'm not an english native speaker, but did my best to make this text understandable )
Any ideas or hints that could maybe solve this problem are welcome.
Thank you,
Chris
I have the same problem
any solution ?
Hi there, I am trying to create a flashable zip of stock rom, the newest UBPLP firmware, I extracted everything from original md5 packace, converted to ext and mounted as virtual image and so on, took system and preload things, then csc stuff from cache.img, created a zip, all permissions etc etc, I have some experience.
Everything works except the fact there is no signal and wifi can't connect, can't really understand what's wrong, I know I am missing something, already tryed also flashing modem, kernel and so on, but nothing, baseband is unknown, but everything is fine with efs and imei, flashing another rom solves everything.
I really would be grateful if someone can explain me how to do this or can supply with a flashable zip of that firmware, odexed or deodexed, doesn't matter, I would like to learn how to correctly make stock rom flashable from zip package

Try SuperR kitchen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/kitchen-superrs-kitchen-t3202296 .
Thank you @#Henkate, after lots of testing I found out the problem was in some symlinks in /system/bin folder corrupted, so the only way was to use nandroid backup and take everything from there
