How can I create a ODIN package?

Also tell me where you downloaded it from.

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

Does anyone know where I can grab a stand alone Odin/CWM flashable CSC package, I need to have the right CSC actiavated on my phone so that I wont have market errors. The CSC is GLB which can be found from a DXKK1 firmware (OLBKJ6) or is there a way to extract the CSC package from a single .tar firmware odin flashable?

In case you flashed a non multi-csc ROM and now are missing your CSC you can do this:
1. Get hold of an old ROM update package. Open it up and browse to /system/csc
2. Copy your regional CSC folder(in your case GLB) from that archive to your phone SD card.
3. Dive into a root explorer on the phone (make sure 'system' is mounted as writable) and copy the folder you have in Step-2 to your phone's /system/csc
4. Dial *#272*{your imei number goes here}# and install your CSC.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.

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!

I used Windows 7 32 bit, the original poster used Win7 64 bit...
I downloaded a zip file from sammobile.com's OTA files section. The ZIP contains the following files:
debug_info ==> 1kb (size)
delta.hidden ==> 856kb
delta.modem ==> 1kb
delta.platform ==> 84455 kb
delta.Sbl ==> 1280kb
delta.ua ==> 241 kb
delta.zImage ==> 4936kb
the ZIP file won't install using Mobile Odin, Odin, and CWM. In mobile Odin, it says that the file is not an OTA / Update ZIP file, and merely extracted the contents.
the filename of the downloaded file is GT-N7000_SMA_93970111.zip.
any idea how i can install the OTA file?
I have tried searching this forum and google, but to no avail. it appears that nobody knows how to use the ZIP file.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
What was your purpose in downloading this OTA file anyway? A firmware zip file either contains a single file with "tar.md5" as the extension or 3 files for CSC, Modem/phone and PDA file all of which are recognized automatically by mobile odin or can be loaded on PC odin. I don't think sammobile has files for CWM. No idea about the several files that are contained on the one you downloaded. From the size of the files alone we can conclude that this is NOT firmware as normal size is 600-900 MB.
What I understand from the word OTA is Over The Air and as such can only be used either within the device itself to update or thru kies.
Good luck!
I think it is a very specific scenario to use ota.
The ota file probably need you to have previous released versions of csc installed.
Dont know much about mobile odin.
I think ota is a new feature in mobile odin. Best to check cf mobile odin thread.

when Mobile Odin extracts the zip file you'll get a.md5 file. After the extraction just select this md5 file in Mobile Odin and you're good to go
According to the OP there is no md5 file contained on the zip file.
As per sammobile:
OTA files
This section is specially for the die-hard Samsung owner.
The person who love to tweak with their device fully on their own RISK!
If you dont know what to do with these files, you probably shouldn't touch them.
Let those who knows do it insead.
Not all OTA updates are officially released to public! Samsung may use OTA firmwares as tests first.
SamMobile will not help you with all kind of OTA updates.
Using OTA updates is fully at your own risk.
Feel free to use our forums for any kind of question regading update with the OTA files.

AFAIK OTA updates are firmware specific.You must be on certain firmwares to flash the OTA.For exampleTA update yyy may need you to be on xxx firmware for it to work.But sadly I dont know how to flash it....
Could it be that you have to be totally stock unrooted to be able to flash it via stock recovery (3e)? If that's the case the OTA .zip must be stored in external sd. I don't think need to rename it to update.zip, because we can still flash any .zip with the right signature on 3e. Thinking of trying on my Note but it has been 'out of flashed' for close to a month!

Hello forum-comers,
I want to update my cell's firmware using Kies, but neither this nor FOTA are possible. I've trying using Kies to download a firmware file (to %username%\appdata\local\temp\Binary\GT-I9000 folder), and got a "download complete" notice. The file is supposed to be a *.tar archive containing other *.tar archives that are flashable with Odin, but it has no extension (just a name) and I can't open it. I've tried adding a *.tar or a *.zip extension but it didn't seem to help.
Does anyone know how to open or use that file?
Problem solved
Okay, it turns out that the file is encrypted somehow, and there's a program that can open it (as well as check and download firmware without the Kies suite) - it's called Check Fus, and you can read about it on this thread from a couple of years ago, or head to the dev's website. The decrypted file is a zip containing both a firmware *.tar file that can be flashed using Odin, as well as a *.dll the purpose of which I don't know.
