[Q] how to flash TWRP recovey???? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want to flash a new rom and to do this i need to get the twrp recovery..
i downloaded to maclaw studio's twrp and when i tried to flash it with odin i saw that i cant flash it because its not tar.md5 file.. i've tried to convert the file to .tar and when i flashed it, it broke my galaxy.. i want to flash twrp 2.7.0.0 but im afraid that it will broke my phone:crying::crying:.. can somebody help my figure out how to convert that zip\img file and make it a tar.md5 so that i could flash my rom??

The zip file is used to flash it through recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP). You'll need the Odin file. You can also find it on Maclaw's site. Next to most download links, you can also click 'Odin' which gives you the Odin package.

what do you get if you unzip the file?
If you get a .tar file, just put it in the PDA in odin and start.
Or maybe look for another .zip or .tar file of the JW4 kernel.

flash without extracting zip file in pda
Dear
When you download a kernel it's in 2 type one type is for flash with cwm and once for Odin if be zip is for cwm if be in tar extension is for Odin for Odin you should download tar and don't extract it. Just put it in pda section and finish

If the kernel is a zip file I would use SGS Kernel flasher app (on Google Play).
It backs up your current kernel before flashing.
if it is tar flash with odin.

[Q] Download mode loop in Galaxy Tab 8.9

Hello experts!
Before gifting my Galaxy Tab 8.9 (p7300) I wanted to fully erase my user data and files and flash a stock rom back, so I formatted it in CWM recovery mode.
After that I can only use download mode. When starting with power+volumedown I get two choices: but the recovery mode won't enter (when I press volumeup it blinks fast and do not enter).
The only communication I get to the tablet is with Odin in download mode, and nothing else.
Since then I have made many tryouts with files found on the web: flash pit file, bootloader, cwm recovery, stock recovery and there was no result at all.
I'm really sorry if the answer is in another thread, but I haven't found any solution after 3 days searching the we.
If you solve my problem, you'll get $20. Please help me, I'm deseperate.
Thanks a lot!

Do you have adb access? If so, can you copy a recovery image to the root directory of the sdcard and flash it via adb?

I don't have access, unfortunately. Would I be able to flash it in download mode, anyway?
I'm downloading adt-bundle to get access to adb.

I have a stock ROM and CM9 here, but they're all in .zip format, suitable to flash in recovery mode, which I cannot enter.
I couldn't find any ROM in .tar or .md5 format as hotfile server is out, and I don't see how I could flash a ROM with ODIN in .zip format. Is it possible?

Yes I am well aware of that,
the link I gave you in the previous post is for Dev-Host mirror
for a Tar file to flash through Odin
but it is compressed in ZIP format
so you'll have to download it and unzip it using Winrar or 7-Zip
or any other similar Pc program
then you'll get these file :
P7300XXLQI_P7300XXLQ6_P7300GBLMP2_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
ignore the .dll file and flash the tar.md5 file through odin and everything will be fine :fingers-crossed:
HERE IS THE LINK AGAIN
Oh and by the way you can't flash a Zip file through Odin
Solved

It works!
All I needed as really a flashable ROM through Odin. After that I flashed CWM and custo ROM after that. Everything is working now.
Thanks a lot omarainea for the help and support!

HELP! Absolutely CANNOT boot into CWM

I followed everything via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 and successfully flashed CWM to my GT-I8190.
The problem arises when I attempt to boot into recovery mode. Every time I attempt it, I am taken to the stock android recovery screen and not CWM. I've tried different versions of Odin... the touch version of CWM.. using a different computer... all to no avail.
I even downloaded Rom Manager thru Google Play and attempted to flash/update CWM from there (as it said it was, indeed, installed on my phone) but it wouldn't let me reboot the phone into recovery from Rom Manager - I imagine because I am not rooted.
I'm attempting to root my phone and flashing CWM is the first step. Like I said, the flash was, indeed, successful but the problem is that it always takes me into stock recovery instead of CWM.
Thanks in advanced, guys!
try another custom recovery, for example this one.
Wait until Odin says "success" and then reboot into recovery via Vol+ Home and Power

Thanks! I downloaded the TWRP .zip file and extracted it only to find that there is no .tar file... only an image file... This won't work with Odin, will it?

Thanks, guys! I'll post back with my results.
Same deal, xXPR0T0TYPEXx... I extract the .zip to find merely an image file.. I tried it with Odin anyway but Odin will not recognize it.
Hmmmmm.... I may have to go with vROOT if you tell me it's safe to use.
Another way of root is by flashing unsecure kernel. You can do it easily by Android Toolkit.

The file that you download is a .zip file, not a .tar file.

[Q] Flash CWM

Hi!
Can I just download cwm from here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and flash it via stock recovery like I had done with all my other phones? (Stock android 4.1.2)
I read many forums about that I have to flash Philz kernel first and use odin but is it necessary anymore? I also tried to look different kernel+cwm versions from Philz but newest download doesnt have any different kernel version (or I just dont find them).
You will need to use philz to root. On this phone recovery is in kernel.

So I just download zip file from here and flash it using stock recovery? It its possible do without odin? Or why there is .zip and .tar.md5 and .zip.md5 from same version of recovery file?

No not that link.. There will be one for tw only.. Flash using recovery.. Tar version of the kernel can be flashed using Odin.. But flashing using Odin will increase the binary count..

You mean this -> http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=25295#files
There is only XXLTA-ATL does it matter? Older cwm versions seems to have different version too.
After that I can flash roms and anything like with other phones?
Thanks for help!
That's that's one of the latest.. Match the rom version you have any other the kernel name and flash that.. Then you will be able to flash any rom but kitkat.
