How to create a zip file from .tar.md5

Hi
My Firmware file is: T525XXUANC4_T525DBTAND1_T525XXUANC1_HOME.tar.md5

when I extract it with WinRAR there are several files in the folder:
see attached picture
https://dl.xda-cdn.com/5/0/9/0/1/9/9/tar.md5_files.jpg?key=auLHTgGl1xzOZFXEfNiVpA&ts=1598967700

How to go on?

Shall I remove the file:
recovery.img
and zip the remaining files of the folder with WinRAR as "Stock.zip"
then go to TWRP and install it??

Pls. Confirm or pls. Tell me what else I should do!

So I'll download the Samsung Firmware and will not extract it, I'll directly flash the tar file?

My device is Samsung A7 2017, wanted to back to Oreo 8.0 from Lineage Android 11.

    I did copy TWRP2.2.0 and stock firmware zip in SD card and hold volume up+down + power button to get recovery mode but I only see pictures of phone & monitor with yellow
    triangle at center.( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.)

    ---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

    I upgraded my samsung s2 version 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 through the Kies. Then I tried to install TWRP 2.2.0 and Odin 1.85. I saw COM 14 ; COM 17 when I hit start button .It said
    FAILED. Now it showed a yellow triangle in the middle of phone & monitor pictures. ( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again). Please help . Thank you very much.
    I just tried other laptop . I saw COM 3 but it said it couldn't open the serial (COM )port . All thread completed (success 0/ failed 1)
    that screen is also odin/download mode
    try flashing again
    check odin troubleshooting section in the "install cwm/twrp" link in my sig

    I am a mac user without access to a PC (no odin). I have TWRP recovery installed. I used android file transfer to move the stock firmware zip in the download section to the internal SD (root folder). I wiped the system and cache, then install zip - but it fails every time with "invalid zip file format". I have tried a half dozen other versions of the stock ROM from various sources and they all fail with the same error. ZIP signature verification is disabled. Just when I thought that i was doing something completely dumb and not flashing correctly at all - I tried re-flashing the lineageOS ROM i have and that worked fine. I've read a bit about unpacking and re-zipping these zips to get them to work, but that requires 7zip (which I don't have on mac). Help! am I doing something dumb or do I not have the correct zip files? I really need to get back to stock so I can activate my cellular service.
    AFAIK all devhosts files are bad/fake, i cant even dl my own files.
    if i find them all reup to androidfilehost

    I have a moto g5s plus (sanders) and have installed unofficial lineage 15.0 build. before installation , I didn't took backup in TWRP. Now i am downloading stock firmware zip file. can that be installed using TWRP?

    you mean this zip file when you unzip it show you 5 files that you can use with Odin?
