Very useful, but for win 8.1 x64 the first line in the "runme.bat" will be

Code:

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

not the

Code:

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

Thanks to gIMpSTa

any Feedback

I got this error when I used the tool

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

What does that mean?

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

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:

Code:

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

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

Good Lookin' out dude!!

sonnykaiboy · Nov 10, 2013 at 9:24 PM

still having issues.

so i don't know what i am doing wrong. i've tried all the different codes and i'm still getting this

bin/tar: recovery.img: cannot stat: no such file or directory
bin/tar: Exiting with failure status do to previous errors

i've changed the recovery file to recovery.img put it in the same folder where the files were extracted. ran the program and nothing. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance ^_^

Yep, right-click Edit on the *.bat file and add the --group=1 makes it work a treat!

....error
used & thanks to gIMpSTa for that line of code, with further help from Jack Mayerz & the fix in that post, thank you.

Just created recovery.tar.md5: touch version 6.0.4.3 for my SGN2 international (HSPA+) flashed with Odin 3.04.

I have attached the recovery.tar for use, unpack from zip to use in odin.(not a flash..zip file)

NOTE it is ONLY for the Samsung Galaxy note 2 GT N7100 international, as always, use at your own risk.
I have only flashed this using the PC version of Odin (windows 7)

Hope this helps & thanks again for the knowledge in these pages.

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

Really? You're gonna quote something from September, that I answered myself?

Doesn't work.

RichMD · Dec 29, 2013 at 3:31 AM

Can I use this for a bootloader?

Can this tool be used to make a .zip flashable bootloader into a .tar file to use via ODIN? I am trying to recover a partial/full brick - I have a black screen but I can get ODIN to recognize the phone. I want to update the bootloader.

goodoane · Dec 29, 2013 at 10:10 AM

Yes it work if you edit the bat file I personally mod this to pack a full update rom. You need to replace recovery with sboot.bin.

Thank very much kind sir.

My phone was bricked. Not particularly sure what I was doing but with your tool I was able to flash my appropriate recovery and fixed it.

Thank you thank you thank!

Much love x
