[Q]How to repackage firmware files

Can anyone teach me how to repackage firmware files, Im going to reflash JPJG8 and I wish to use a different CSC file on fresh install and dont want to go through reflashing with a different CSC ( Just want a clean flash ) is this possible ?

not quite sure what you mean my friend, if your going to flash it, just use the CSC that you want ? there isnt a package file for firmware files really, you just have 3 files to flash ..

JP8 is packed into 1 file.

no i doubt it
have you flashed anything yet?
do you means its 'packed' = 'archived' into 1 file? .rar by any chance?

And what tools do you need to unpack a zip file? Tar is inside, have you checked? Everything is written in the guide. I don't know what's the problem.

Check the wiki. So Google xda wiki, go there and find the phone, the stock files are there.

I've been there and all over the web several times trying to locate these files. I have the firmware, but I have not been able to find or extract the files I listed above inside the firmware. I figured they must be in there but I couldn't get to them. Is this the file you were talking about?
T679LG3.tar
I have that and have tried to get the files I need out of it but haven't been able to. Is there a way to do that or were you referring to something else? Thanks for the help.

I am confused. What do you need this list of files for? What are you trying to accomplish with them?

I am also confused as to files needed. The link I provided will get you to stock via cwm or Odin. If what you want to do is build then the github is where to look.

Right I understand but I'm not using cwm or Odin at all. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be confusing I just need those files I asked for. If I can extract them from the firmware let me know, but I've tried that already. Yeah, let’s just say I'm trying to think about building a little maybe, not sure yet.
So the "github" is a place I can find these files? Where do I find the” github?” Forgive my ignorance I’m just getting going with all this. Again I’m not trying to flash to stock via Odin or cwm. Thanks guys.

OK, zimage is in boot.IMG , Google how to extract. The other stuff i don't know why you want to mess with that stuff, especially the boot loaders, those can get a hard brick. If you are just trying to compile a ROM, go to exhibit cm9 jocala thread and scroll to building instructions. Those are way out of date, but you can figure stuff out from there. github.com/arco is good, so is github.com/camcory, find files change them, whatever

Which ROM were you on? were you trying to upgrade maybe, give a little history. make sure you put your phone into charging now, as this trip could be long.

the phone was stock and a problem similar occured where the startup screen would keep flashing. i then rooted it with odin. im sorry i dont remember the Rom it was just a basic one.
Im wondering if any Rom is out there to just restore it. using Odin PC
also before when it first had the problem if i took the battery out and started it up it would work then freeze and do the same problem. now i cant get into the phone at all.
i believe my brother tried to update it(its is phone.) and thats when this happened.

download stock rom for your country or any other country from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
only if you do not want to backup anything.
Make sure you phone is charged enough. Put the phone into download mode and flash the downloaded file. Same link also has method for how to flash.

do i save the whole archived file as .tar? still downloading the germany file. but i had downloaded other custom roms and none have a .tar file in them. if so how do i do it?

use winrar or 7 zip. Right click on the zip file, go to extract files and you should have .tar file. Open Odin and click on PDA and browse to the .tar file. The custom roms are CWM Flashable so they are zip files only.

thanks for helping me fix it. its all done now.

Need some advice

Okay guys I think I've exhausted all of my options here's the short version of what's going on. I started the OTA update on my s5 and it got interrupted ( I don't really know how ) and it won't go past the Samsung boot screen (and it now says custom with an unlocked pad). After doing extensive research and downloads I can get the phone into Odin mode and into recovery mode. I tried flashing the stock rom, down grade roms and kernels of all variants through Odin and through recovery with no luck . Odin fails at secure system check and stock recovery says failed to find /system build.prop (no such file or directory). Viewing the recovery log It says my os is (oc4) and my bootloader is (oi5) no help from Samsung or AT&T. In Odin I am able to flash the oc4 kernel, modem and stock partitions. It says current binary SAMSUNG official system status custom Knox warranty void 0x0
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am downloading them now. Thank you so much for all of your help. I will let you know what happens!! You have been a huge help.

OK I flashed all of those files with no errors. All 4 took perfect. Still stuck though. Could you upload the system file? An .md5 system file. I think it's system.ext4 when I watch odin flash. Thank you again for all your help.

here you go
step 1 : Download all 14 parts according to order and put them into a new folder
step 2 : download winrar and install it if you already have skip it
step 3 : open part 1 in winrar and extract it , it will auto detect all 14 parts
finally you will have the file , it took me so many hours to upload the full file .

hey syedrazaabbas im having the exact same problem. i flashed the files you kindly provided and same problem wont flash the system file. Im pretty compident with programs and phones so if there is a program i can use i will make a .tar.md5 oidin file myself if it is posible to do. thanks again, sorry i also searched and searched. it seems as if the att S5 section of XDA is a ghost town, i know it can be over whelming at times (i know im a mechanic and deal with my fair share) but i dont beleve in not helping if i have the means to do so.
