Twrp help :(

I have a g800f rooted
I need to install the twrp 2.8.0.0 bootloader recovery without a pc. I have the tar.md5 file but I need the twrp .img file for this phone..where can I get the twrp.img file for this phone?
it will help me out a lot .
I'd appreciate the help. I've Google but I only find the tar file. which I got from the cyan gen mod cm12
change tar.md5 to tar, and open it.
there's a recovery.img
How do I change to tar? do I convert it or just change the file name?
Change filename...

Flashing Patched Boot.img in ODIN Not Working

I installed Magisk Manager 5.3.0 and opened it and clicked on Install to download Magisk 14 and to patch the boot.img file that I got from the Samsung Firmware file.
I patched the file and that completed fine with no errors.
I then copied the patched boot.img file to my computer so I could run ODIN on to flash it. Its in the proper format, "magisk.img.tar" is that I called it.
I opened ODIN 3.12 and selected the file under BL and plugged my phone in while in Download Mode.
ODIN detected my phone with the Added! msg in the log window.
ODIN is still running as I type this and all that is in the log is the following:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Theres no change on the phone screen either.
OEM Unlock is enabled as on the phone screen it says FRP Lock: Off
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (J327P) with Boost Mobile
Samsung firmware file from SAMMOBILE is J327PVPU1AQF4_J327PSPT1AQF4_BST

Can you by any chance send me the boot-image, stock, patched, tared ?
Or do you have the possibility to untar the image (or create just the boot.img) and use a "real" gnu-tar (preferred on linux).
Or give me the exact firmware, so I can try to create the image and tar it with the tar on my Fedora system ?
When doing the (internal) beta-tests I had the same issue, because of incorrect tar-headers (gnu-tar does not care about it). That should be fixed in MagiskManager, but Odin seems to be extremely nitpicking about the tar-header.
It might also be a problem with signed (or better not signed) bot-image, but I guess this would lead to another error.

Well for me I only know how to extract the boot.img file from the AP file using winrar and patching it using magisk then renaming to .img.tar
I don't know anything about gnu-tar linux

Can you give me the exact version of your rom, so I can download it and send you a patched image for testing ? Or send me the boot.img either patched, stock or patched and tared ?

Well, if that's what you did, no wonder why it's failing and Odin is stuck on analyzing the image—it's not in the proper format, you shouldn't rename it, you need to tar the boot.img file.

Now I understand because inside it also there is not "meta inf " folder. How to tar it ?

In MagiskManager's settings chose the .img.tar output format. The patched image should be named "patched_boot.img.tar", if it's just "patched_boot.img" you can not directly flash it!

That's why you have to chose the correct patch-format in MagiskManager's settings before patching the stock boot.img .
In the settings click/touch "Patch Boot Output Format" and chose ".img.tar", then in the main menu click/touch "Install", then again "Install", then "Patch Boot Image File", chose the stock-image and wait until it is patched.
This should create a file named "patched_boot.img.tar" in the MagiskManager-folder of your internal storage.
This should be flashable.
Changing just the ending of any file does not change the format and can not work therefore.

Thanks for the explanation.. I will do it tomorrow
Flashing a patched boot image will trip the knox counter right ? Of course mine is tripped but I want to know that
@jenslody I have just tried flashing the patched boot.img file in ODIN under the AP/PDA field and depending on ODIN version it either crashes or is stuck at file analysis. I have named the file "magisk" to keep the filename short. Therefore the full filename is magisk.img.tar. It was created using the patcher in magisk manager with the output setting of img.tar. I prefer to flash it in ODIN as I would like to keep the stock recovery for the sake of future updates.
How I obtained the boot.img file is from opening the stock firmware image from SAMMOBILE and extracting the AP file and grabbing the boot.img. I also grabbed the recovery.img this way just to have it. I dont have access to any other way of extracting the files as I dont have or use linux personally so its my windows 10 computer only.
As you offered the other guy above I am including my stock extracted boot.img file as well as my exact firmware version on SAMMOBILE.
The exact firmware filename is: J327PVPU1AQF4_J327PSPT1AQF4_BST
Its the Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (2017) from Boost Mobile (J327P) with Baseband version ending in QF4. Its on Android 6.0.1.
I was unable to attach the boot.img file here cause its too big (11.7mb) and the upload failed when I tried to ZIP it instead cause the limit there is 20mb. So here it is on DropBox instead.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/azyeqrx7rtvjvik/boot.img
Once again the is extracted directly from the firmware file with winrar with no magisk patching.

This should work, unless your ODIN-version stumbles about other things than mine.
Nevertheless, I uploaded a patched version of your boot.img to my server: https://rpm.jenslody.de/magisk/J327PVPU1AQF4_patched_boot.img.tar .
It's tared with the tar from my Fedora-system, but the (tar-header related) fixes @topjohnwu made to the java-tar he uses in MagiskManager made the created image flashable on my J5 (latest stock).
I also added a tared image with md5-checksum for you to test: https://rpm.jenslody.de/magisk/J327PVPU1AQF4_patched_boot.img.tar.md5

@jenslody, just for me to understand—you get the patched version via Magisk Manager, then untar it, then tar it again with a custom built tar?
Where are the patches you mention?
I think I realized my mistake. I extracted the boot.img file from the AP file of the firmware then not realizing it has to be inside a tar archive file I just renamed the boot.img file boot.img.tar instead. I feel like kind of an idiot right now.
Would it be sufficient to just use 7zip to create a tar archive with the boot.img file inside it?
Also would this be how to flash the recovery.img file too if I flash TWRP and want to go back to the stock recovery?

I used the stock boot for J3, patched it through MagiskManager (one as *.img, one as *.img.tar), renamed the patched_boot.img to boot.img (taht's what Odin expects inside the tar, used Fedora's tar (I'm on Fedora 26) to create a tar archive from it and just for testing added a md5-checksum to one version of it.
MagiskManager is the 5.30 released with/for Magisk 14.4, bot patched. The fixes I mention were made by @topjohnwu in the (internal) beta-testing for 14.4.
To be clear:
the released Magisk with MagiskManager create img.tar-files that work for my J5 with the Odin-version I use (Odin3 v3.10.7) without any tweaking.
My self-tared versions are for testing purposes, to see if other Odin versions are more nitpicking than mine (about tar-headers). The included boot.img is exactly (binary) the same.

It's unnecessary, you should just select .img.tar as the output format in Magisk Manager's settings. Then you can use the .img file you've extracted from the stock firmware. Magisk Manager will patch the .img file and create a patched .img.tar
This you should be able to flash with Odin.

When I extracted the boot.img file from the firmware it was boot.img. When I patched it from magisk manager, it was boot.img still even though I chose output format img.tar.

Need scatter loading for GT-i8200L

Hello, I have this S3 Mini GT-i8200 that got bricked by flashing the wrong firmware accidentally and I've been searching for a way to unbrick it, After a lot of googling I found two methods, an Unbrick IMG and flashing the scatter loading file, unfortunately, that's something that it's not present inside the .tar.md5 files of the stock rom (list of files down below), so anyone has that scatter loading file that can share me?
Thanks.
