Hi all. Is there any way to convert a zip file to a tar? I found a page on the web that allows this https://anyconv.com/ and it seems to work like that. It is possible to convert small zip files such as kernels. Odin sees a file with a tar extension, but it hangs on loading. Maybe a better way would be to do it with some xda program. Does anyone know if such an application exists at all?

Anyone out there want to take a look at this boot animation? I've tried all I can think of to get it to work but all I ever get is a black screen. I'd appreciate the help.

did you compress the zip file? You can't use compression on it, otherwise it will not be loaded, as the zip is supposed to act as a container only. If using 7zip, there's an option for "store" as the compression type. Use that.
No I did not compress the file. I selected the use the archive as storage with no compression. Like I said I have tried everything I can think of.
There is something about the pngs that is unknown as of yet. I created an image sequence from an avi with virtualdub and it worked fine. The image sequence I made with Rhino 3d does not. Same amount of frames, same desc.txt, same compression program (7-zip), relatively same filesize.
Make sure you're using a text editor that supports ANSI/UNIX save mode correctly. Notepad++ is good and free. And of course, the afforementioned 0 compression/store zip file. WinRAR did not work for me, but 7-zip did.
If I use 7Zip to create a 'store' file, can I just change the filename from a .7z file to a .zip file?
[edit] Looks like I can just make a zip file with 7zip
Gotta ask, what are the 'presets' in the part0 folder? I'm pretty sure that wasn't helping it work any...
So, there are a lot of guides on this subject and all of them have said that the images, regardless of folder, have to be incremental. So, frames 0(or 1) to 99 from part0 have to continue in part1 starting at 100.
I ran all the images through a PNG optimizer to shrink them after renaming all of part1 and gave it a shot. It does work now, but 800x480 images are rather slow to display I guess, or the framerate was low. I did not get to see the whole animation play due to fast booting on custom ROMs, but it started part1 before my homescreen came up.
Take a look
I have also tried almost everything, I just want the motorola Atrix boot animation to run on mine, I tried flashing a zip that was supposed to work, it didnt, I tried getting all of the files and making a non compressed zip and replacing it with root explorer, and that didnt work either. im about ready to give up, seemed like such a simple task.
i also need help i was trying to put the honeycomb one on and couldnt do it seemed so simple i got it into the right folder using super manager and i even deleted the boot from paragon and the samsung one but its still showing the original one HELP

I downloaded the dumped one. After messing with the files for hours, I just slapped it in and watched as it worked, despite being for a different resolution. I just ADB'd it to /system/media.
does anyone know if there is a apk file or something so i could flash the my files app on my cappy that usually come on the cappy with the official firmwares? i just need some kind of file to do that because i dont like astro and es file manager, etc. even a link to somewere where this has been done before would help, thanks.
I don't have an answer for you, just a recommended alternative in case you cannot find My Files.
I put Dual File Manager on every rom I try.
View attachment MyFiles.apk
here is
I promise nothing
ok mabye not, i meant a .tar file so i can flash with odin3
sorry about that
Why did you just open a new thread for that???
Take this apk and follow any of the ways i described in that thread....and in the future DON'T OPEN NEW THREADS FORE THE SAME THING!
sorry, then how do i do that with the apk file? like how do i make that a tar file or something to flash it with odin
Check your other thread...i listed 3 options.

XAP file is simply a zip file, so open with Windows Explorer or WinZip, WinRar, etc..
Well, unless it's a .XAP from the store. Then it's a Windows PlayReady container full of DRM-encrypted data which *probably* decrypts to ZIP format (but might not).
We can't open those at this time (except by having the phone install them, obviously).

i couldnt do that so simply ?
did you try it anytime ?
LOL, yes, with 1200 posts (including possibly *the* most popular one on this whole forum section) and 850 Thanks, I'm quite sure @anaheiim knows of what he speaks.
You, on the other hand, are almost certainly trying to open a .XAP from the store, didn't read *MY* post for some reason, and also didn't do much searching or other forms of research before beginning. As I said, Store XAPs are encrypted with PlayReady DRM, and we don't currently know how to decrypt them.
I have been running into an issue while trying to flash and change regions for my GW3. I know I have the file that is needed for the AP part of the procedure. But after connecting to my watch via wireless download, Odin will not see the files in file explorer on Windows 10.
Watch is Canada region with latest build, and running Tizen 5.5.0.2.
Have ECG, BP, and Samsung health manager caravan loaded via .apk. Just trying to get sp02 running as well until health Canada approves it for the north.
Has anyone run into this issue? Or any insight to a fix?
?
netOdin and Odin and can only handle 2 fileextension...
Code:
.tar.md5
.tar
Best Regards
So if the file I have downloaded includes the .7z extension as well is there a way to convert it to what Odin will recognize? Sorry if this is covered somewhere. If it is, than I missed it. I'm using the YouTube guide for switching regions. Which was where I got the download link from. I do have experience flashing pixels and iPhones. This is my first foray into Odin for flashing files.

Download 7zip (free open source) https://www.7-zip.org/
Use that to open the .7z file and extract the .tar.md5 file

Excellent. Thank you very much.
Deleted cause I'm dumb
I've been looking through a couple of xda thread about it, found a few solutions. I managed to unpack from the .tar file, got the img.lz4 file and from that the .img and from .img to .img.ext4, but the .ext4 file is too small compared to the original .img file, so I guess the older SVAImgUnpack doesnt do the job correctly and can't open it with ext2explore. Is there any other software to use for this?
Nevermind, I've found a program for it.
