Hello everyone,
I have a ZIP file downloaded using Kies and saved with Kies Patcher.
How can I create a ODIN package?
Link: Hotfile - JP5_JP4_JPP_TIM.zip
99 views & no reply? LOL.
@OP, Extract the contents using a unzipper like winrar or 7zip. tell me the contents.
Also tell me where you downloaded it from.
Curious aswel!!!

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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Its the file allready ready for Odin?? just put the file in PDA section and flash. Ihave seen many files that is just .zip files and u dont exract the .zip file because its ready for ODIN for flash
if you take a look at this official thread and the roms all of them I downloaded are just .zip file and ready to flash....please correct if im wrong.

The extracted files from zip u can use to flash in a iMac/macbook and heimdall app.
Why do i get a .tar file instead of a .img file when unzipping tar.gz files
I've tried winraw and bitzipper run as admin or not
The files I'm trying to unzip are these

I've been browsing these forums all day trying to find someone thats had the same problem, guess I'm out of my league here
Thanks in advance
*.tar.gz files are. Zipped (the .gz) and Tar'd so it's a 2 step process.
Basically TAR is a grouping of the files and GZ is the compression.
Check out 7-zip:
http://www.7-zip.org/
Un-Gzip the file you have a *.tar file. Un-Tar the file and you have all the files.
YES! Thanks
I had tried to winrar and bitzipper them twice but the file was useless
But with 7-zip Ive got a img. file, seems like all the instructions I've been following said uncompress but I guess the assume that you know to do both
Now I can get on with my next nightmare getting this NC back to stock
Thank you
I would like to upgrade my stock firmware to KL4 using Odin and am unsure if I need a Pit file or will the tar file be all that I need. Also, do I need to select "Re-Partition" in Odin?
Thanks for any help
you dont need the pit file, you just need the tar file or the files containe within the tar file

If you have 3 files after extracting (CODE,MODEM,CSC) then attach these three files as PDA=CODE , PHONE=MODEM, CSC=CSC, if you have one file the attach it in PDA,
Then UnCheck Re-partition,
no need to select Pit file,
Put your phone in download mode,
Attach phone to PC
Once your PC detects your Phone Click Start
After Flashing Device restarts twice. Done..

Thanks very much for your very helpful reply.
Remember using PC Odin to update, you are closing way to Root your device, If you want to Root it, just Root before it. See installation guide on my signature for further detail

Thanks for your advice and the guides which are very helpful. I've downloaded the German stock ROM (LA4) from your list but I've been unable to extract the tar file using Winzip, so I'm stuck at the moment. Any further help from anyone how to extract the files would be appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help. I didn't know that Winzip did not work and that I needed 7z which I have downloaded and extracted the tar file.
I had a problem with Odin. Could not get it to flash la4 no matter what I tried.
So I bought mobile odin , put the relevant file on my phone and I was upgraded in under ten min Awesome app, sometimes its worth payin some money to get the job done

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.
I have the stock firmware for my device (a Galaxy J6). I've downloaded it from sammobile, and it's in a zip file. Supposedly, all I need to do is extract this file with an extraction program like winrar and presto, I should have the necessary boot.img. But all I get are these useless .md5 files. What is going on? Did I misinterpret something?
More than anything, I would just like it if someone finally just explained to me what the hell I'm supposed to do. The Magisk installation guide doesn't even go into detail about how to get a boot.img, it just assumes you have it. It's infuriating.

If it's an OTA full upgrade there should be a file named payload.bin.
You need to unpack it to get the img files. Do it using this tool:

Um, when I tried downloading your program, the page said there were no mirrors found.
Also, there doesn't appear to be any payload.bin file on the zip, just md5 files. And it's been that way for every j6 firmware I've downloaded in the past.
Maybe you should try downloading the firmware from sammobile and seeing whether you can extract boot.img from it?

You might need to make a sammobile account if you don't have one already. Good luck!

I downloaded a random J6 firmware in another site.
You have to use 7zip software, it's free, much better than WinRar and supports tons of compression formats. Do these steps with 7zip:
-Unpack zip file.
-Rename the "*.tar.md5" to "*.tar".
-Open the ".tar" file and unpack "boot.img.lz4".
-Unpack "boot.img.lz4" file.
-It's done, you now have the "boot.img" file you were looking for

Sorry for the late reply. I did it. I found the boot.img file! I'll be using it shortly.
Thank you so much. Your advice was absolutely invaluable!

I have same problem above: find boot.img of my device ( SM-G532MT).
I have a firmware downloaded from firmware.mobi. Works fine.
But, when decompressed, shows only the archives for instalation for Odin ( CSC, AP, etc... ). No boot.img under other format.

forgive me about that too
Samsung devices by default don't have .img ...
usually stockrom come as .zip then you need to extract it (use 7zip since winrar is not capable of extracting .lz4)
-Rename the "AP_xxx.tar.md5" to "AP_xxx.tar". <~ any similar file with AP from the start
-Open the "AP_xxx..tar" file and if you see boot.img extract "AP_xxx..tar" then grab boot.img it's done, you now have the "boot.img" file you were looking for
-some device have "boot.img.lz4" file. <~ use 7zip again to extract .lz4 file then grab boot.img it's done, you now have the "boot.img" file you were looking for
also it is stupid to grab your boot.img when you are Samsung since Odin only accept .md5 format (does Samsung have access to fastboot or they are stuck using Odin idk never has Samsung phone lmao)
also i forgot to say that you can actually patch "AP_xxx.tar" via Magisk itself so less work
For anyone else having trouble getting the boot.img, but on a custom recovery:
1. Go to recovery
2. Open recovery terminal
3. Enter:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
4. Press enter to confirm the command
5. Reboot to system
The boot.img is now on your SD card.
