Hi,
I'd like to know something when flashing modem whith Odin.
My GT-I9305 isn't Root so...
I get the <modem.bin> file exctract from my one package carrier's ROM (I9305XXALK5_I9305SFRALK2_I9305AEALK2_HOME.tar.md5)
with 7zip
Can I use this modem (from a 4.1.1 ROM) as if I'm in 4.1.2 (I9305XXBLL5_I9305DBTBLL4_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5)
in Odin3 (v3.04), where should I put the <modem.bin> file? Phone,PDA?
The flash counter will be incremented?
What about the OTA or Kies update?
Thx..
Re: [Q]How to Flash <modem.bin> file with Odin?
You need to convert it from a bin file to a. tar file for Odin.

Hello kanzi83, I'm new in the forums but I decided to register so I could help you.
I had the exact same problem and came with a solution, after reading yewsiong's instructions on his post:

Modifying them so they match your situation, you have to do the following:
1. Install Cygwin and start the Cygwin terminal
2. Put the .tar.md5 firmware into C:\baseband
3. In Cygwin, type the following commands (pressing enter after each line):
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf firmware_name.tar.md5 modem.bin
tar -H ustar -c modem.bin > baseband.tar
Example: If the firmware_name.tar.md5 is I8150DXLM3_I8150OLBLD1_I8150DXLM2_HOME.tar.md5
Then the code will be:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf I8150DXLM3_I8150OLBLD1_I8150DXLM2_HOME.tar.md5 modem.bin
tar -H ustar -c modem.bin > baseband.tar
After generating your .tar file, you can use Odin or Odin Mobile (I used Odio Mobile Pro and worked excellent) to flash the Modem.
There you go! Please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

Is this file checked against md5 when flashing with Odin? (Or when tar-ing?)

Successful flash with Odin 3.10 & I9305
At first got errors when tried to flash modem.tar which I compressed with 7-zip from modem.bin
Odin just stopped at flashing modem.bin, so unplugged USB and cold restart (everything was still working fine with my phone, even the old modem)
Then successfully flashed modem.BIN via ticking it to CP (Phone?)
So... Somehow Odin couldn't flash my compressed .tar file of the modem..
Maybe I did something wrong with the compression
But now I have a working modem from the latest samsung firmware for my country and signal feels much more reliable now and even got a little bit better speedtest results too

This works with newer versions of ODIN.
I'm writing this because in all my searching I couldn't find a short guide of how to install the Stock firmware using Heimdall. I had a T710 that was failing to boot any ROM I put on it with TWRP. So I decided to put Stock back on it.
obtain stock firmware, mine was named BTU-T710XXU2DRH1-20181005080953.zip
unzip in a new directory, for me this resulted in a single file: T710XXU2DRH1_T710BTU2DRH1_HOME.tar.md5
untar with:
Code:
tar xvf *.tar.*
For me this resulted in the following
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
recovery.img
sboot.img
system.img
get the output of print-pit:
Code:
heimdall --print-pit >pit.txt
in the print-pit output, for each entry, look at
Code:
Partition Name
and
Code:
Flash Filename
. This will help you determine which file goes with which partition name.
boot to download mode (Power+VolDown) and use heimdall to flash the parts you want. For me this was:
Code:
heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --SYSTEM system.img
after the flash the system will automatically reboot. You'll get the throbbing Samsung icon for a while as it does stuff and then it will boot.
Thanks a lot for this. You saved my T810.
I had decided to upgrade my 6-year-old tablet to LineageOS and idiotically missed the first critical step of enabling OEM Unlock. I tried to flash TWRP using Heimdall and softbricked it... It could only boot into download mode and for some reason, Odin could not recognise it, only Heimdall.
I downloaded the latest version of the stock firmware using Frija and followed your method, worked perfectly and I now have stock Nougat.
Still can't figure out why the OEM Unlock button doesn't appear in the Developer settings for me, so can't install Lineage, but at least everything is working again.
Hello guys. I failed several times rooting this device and finally managed to root.
You need to extract AP tar and then replace the boot.img with a magisk patched one.
You then need to re tar the file using 7zip and flash as normal.
AP CSC HOME CSC and BL
If there's enough demand I'll write a proper guide. Also if soft bricked you need to press both volume buttons and plug in usb at right point on restart.

Thanks @jameswalker457
Which one did you use CSC_HOME or CSC?
When I run with CSC, I get a 'fail' in ODIN However, it does run with CSC_HOME, BL and the patched AP - but it doesn't actually root the device.
Greatful for your help.
Thanks
Used BL AP (with patched boot.img) CSC and HOME_CSC in the userdata

SM-X200 root failed...
It's now a bricked tablet after a boot loop, I think should wait to magisk get an update. It won't power on or charge I think. I have two days trying to power on in several times and many key conbinations. No Samsung logo or something. Can I do...

The best way to root samsung tab a8 2021 pls
Android 11 I got fast as f boot loop solution below btw An 4 gamers I got fps/ping boost solution below to
forum.xda-developers.com
I still do not have root. What I did:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. install magisk manager 24.3
3. Download X200XXU1AVC1 from Samfw
4. unzip the firmware
5. Untar the AP tar file
6. Extract boot.img, send to device, and patch with magisk 24.3. Patched boot is magisk_patched-24300-9Iez2.img
7. Replace boot.img with the newly patched one (renamed to boot.img)
8. Create a tar file from the AP folder using
" tar -C AP_folder -cvf AP_patched.tar ."
9. "adb reboot bootloader" to download mode
10. open Odin v3.14.1 and add BL, HOME_CSC, and the AP_patched.tar
9. Flash via Odin, exit download mode, enter stock recovery, factory reset
For some reason I can't get from download mode to recovery w/o first booting the fresh android.
No boot loop, but no root either.
These are the file names I got from Samfw:
AP_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS11.tar.md5
BL_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_XAR_X200XAR1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49838021_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The md5sum of the files:
AP stock: fa97e5cee1deaf26175b27d26df94266
AP patched: 006b12f713fc3caa127bc5cba01ae4b9
BL: 2172ca468462a46917d78e94157aed54
HOME_CSC: 5ede57b9ffe8059f3166dd5de6ef8721
The tar file worried me. It had file names like ./boot.img instead of boot.img. So I created a new file, with the patched boot.img, this way:
cd AP_folder
tar -cvf ../AP_patched.tar *
Then flashed that. Took longer than the previous tar.
On reboot, it asks me to press PWR to accept boot loader unlocked. Then a splash screen saying: unapproved software, then a few boot loops.
I got to recovery, factory reset, the tablet does the LONG boot, does the initial setup thing.
Install Magisk Manager, and root! Google Play still works.
Whoopee! I can now wait for a working TWRP.

Hello, I have a problem/doubt. I have the files AP, BP... etc I use 7zip to extract the boot.img ..... if I unzip all the AP XXX.tar.md5 the 7zip warns me that there is data after the file, it warns me of an error and at the end it stops in the fota . ...when I replace the boot.img in the AP folder by the one corresponding to the patched with Magisk and use the 7zip again to create the .tar the file does not work with ODIN...I do not know what step or mistake I make. Regards
PS: I'm extracting the files instead of unzipping the .tar.md5 to see if that's the problem ....

That is because a .tar.md5 is a tar file with an md5 concatenated to it.

The proper tool to create .tar files is "tar".

Care to be more specific on how you did that?

What firmware version worked, and which failed?
X200XXU1AVC1 worked for me.
Yes, X205XXU1AVC1 works.

Not sure if this helps but i read an article that says you should patch the whole AP tar file rather than extract just the boot.img. Maybe because it patches the recovery and super etc img files too? I havet tried this yet as I cant even get my bootloader unlocked

OK, I've un-tarred the AP tar.md5 and patched the old boot-img file on the device, renamed it and replaced the original boot.img in the AP "folder".
Steps 8 & 9 are a little confusing for me, if you could expand on those. Can I use 7zip to re-tar? Those look like DOS commands in step 8.

I'm guessing those are Linux commands?
In any event, I made 7zip re-tar the AP folder with the patched boot.img, but it ends in .tar.tar
Is this an issue, or should/can it be renamed .tar.md5 like the original?

I do them on Linux, but they can also work on WinBlows. Since I do not use M$ products, I can only say I've seen those commands work on WinBlows, but can't say how to set that up.
I also can't help you with 7zip, it can run on Linux, but never use it myself.
People have problems when they don't use "real" tar, so don't. Save yourself the pain.
You do not need to convert the .tar to a .tar.md5. Odin will use either file type. A .tar.md5 file is a .tar file with its md5 hash appended. Odin can use the file to verify the .tar integrity, but that is optional.
