[Tool][[windows] Make CWM Recovery .img's into .tar.md5 odin flash-able files 1 CLICK

[wewonk]

I got the same thing Mr0lala got when i tried CWM 6.0.3.1

 

[Technical]

I tried but it isn't working for me on windows 8 64 bit . I don't remember the error now but it was like recovery.tar not found

Not working here for me either.
I'm on Windows 8 x64 and the error is the following:

bin/tar: recovery.img: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I had the same error that several others had when trying this out (out of gid_t range). I fixed it by editing Runme.bat and adding --group=1 to the tar line so that it looks like this:

bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

Great tool, once editing this it did exactly what I needed! Thanks!

Hello

I'll be making the .tar for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100 Intl.)...if possible could you please provide what options to check and what not...a step by step if possible.

Thanks

How do you do this excatly? Sorry such a noob question.

Figured it out! Thanks!

For those who don't know, you can right-click on the "recovery.img" file you moved into the folder you extracted the tool into and open it with cmd (command prompt)(browse for cmd if it's not listed) and then copy the code gIMpSTa wrote above and paste it in the cmd and press enter to send that command and then it's done. A TAR file called "recovery" shows up in the folder you extracted the tool into and you then just use that file in odin! ta-da!

 

[LaDamian]

It looks like an awesome tool. Is there any chance that this would work with TWRP recoveries? Thanks

FIX for script errors and not running

Script is invalid due to `tar` command

FIX :

1-right click "Runme.bat" and choose "edit" from menu.
2-convert second line which is

bin\tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

to

bin\tar -cf recovery.tar recovery.img

3-save file and close notepad.
4-put recovery.img file in the folder and run "Runme.bat"

make sure to first remove the existent recovery.tar.md5 from the folder (I don't think it matters but prompt wouldn't come up for overwrite).

@cabloomi good effort and nice tool, saved me personally the trouble of rebooting every time I have to create a .tar.md5 from a .img, I don't know why you used the tar command in this way though, `man tar` clearly states command `tar -cf archive.tar foo` to create .tar files. Please clear that up for me. Same thing with `md5sum`, if you look up man for it, the command is different.

EDIT: I attached a file with the script fixed.

Tried flashing the .md5, didn't work. Same recovery, but Odin said it was a succesful flash.

 

[Oligoy]

Works great with the fix above
I was able to convert cwm touch .img file to .tar.md5 and flash it via Odin

Thanks for this tool ! :good:

I got error:
bin/tar: value 4294967295 out of gid_t range 0..2097151
bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Any solution?

Edit Runme.bat file and change tar command ustar to gnu, like this

bin\tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

change it to

bin\tar -H gnu -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

save file and run it.

It worked for me and installed CWM img file like a charm....

Hi,

I tried to patch the .bat file with the suggested fixes, but I still get:

C:\Users\Shadi\Desktop\root\create odin tar>Runme.bat
bin/tar: value 4294967295 out of gid_t range 0..2097151
bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Press any key to continue . . .

although I do see the .tar.md5 created... is that ok? should I flash using odin now?

Thanks,

[SeaFargo]

Does not work for me also.

On Windows XP 32bit. Just a rar with zero byte is created. Offcourse i've renamed the file to recovery.img.

How to install the .img, anyway?

 

[~wolverine~]

Where would this go in odin? PDA or Phone.

*goes in PDA

 

[shikhar623]

My cwm got broken (my phone is working ok , but I am not able to flash anything),
Now I have extracted boot.img from the kernel.
I want to flash it with the odin.
when I convert the boot.img using your software. it just makes a 11kb file. and the terminal shows the following information,(in the image).

1) How shall I convert boot.img to boot.tar.md5
2) In the Odin , Where shall I pick the boot.tar.md5 file . (in bootloader, in pda, in phone, or in CSC?)

Regards,
Shikhar

Updated batch files.

Ok so i made this tool for personal use, but i saw a lot of people wanted this, so here it is

Step 1. Download it from ATTACHMENTS
Step 2. Decompress it to a folder
Step 3. Download your recovery for your SAMSUNG device from here
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
Step 4. Rename it to "recovery.img" then move it to the folder you decompressed the tool at earlier
Step 5. Open the "Runme" file and theres your recovery.tar.md5 File ready to flash with odin

please if you used my tool give me some credit and relink to this page as the tool you used to make the file

Here I have updated the package that @cabloomi so nicely put together for us.

Script is invalid due to `tar` command

FIX :

1-right click "Runme.bat" and choose "edit" from menu.
2-convert second line which is

bin\tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

to

bin\tar -cf recovery.tar recovery.img

3-save file and close notepad.
4-put recovery.img file in the folder and run "Runme.bat"

make sure to first remove the existent recovery.tar.md5 from the folder (I don't think it matters but prompt wouldn't come up for overwrite).

@cabloomi good effort and nice tool, saved me personally the trouble of rebooting every time I have to create a .tar.md5 from a .img, I don't know why you used the tar command in this way though, `man tar` clearly states command `tar -cf archive.tar foo` to create .tar files.

EDIT: I attached a file with the script fixed.

It worked for me and installed CWM img file like a charm....

Thank you sir you made my day

 

[dtstech]

Works

Even me with the same problem, exiting with failure due to previous errors in windows 8 x64

Changing the .bat file to reflect the following allowed it to work for me on Windows 7 x64

bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

 

[Guatiao]

Thanks to the OP and the others that fine tuned this great tool, it just worked for me to flash AOKP on my phone after a bad flash on my hercules.
