You can change the bat file. Modify the input files and the output name if you want. Just make sure the output name is modified in all the lines.

You can also use a variable so you only have to set the output name once. For example,

@echo off
set tarname="M919_FNB4_Modem"
bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c NON-HLOS.bin modem.bin > %tarname%.tar
bin\md5sum -t %tarname%.tar >> %tarname%.tar
bin\mv %tarname%.tar %tarname%.tar.md5

good idea THX

On another thread the OP suggested to use gnu instead of ustar as Format:

tar --create --format=gnu -b20 --quoting-style=escape --owner=0 --group=0 --totals --mode=644  -f %%~nG.tar %%~nxG

and anoither one here:

tar -cvf output.tar file1.bin file2.bin file3.img file4.img.ext3 ...

Which solution should be used in which situation ?

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
Rate this thread and press the thanks button

very nice work, thanks

improvement

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....

thanks ! now the file gets generated ! (won't flash here tho)


<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

and then nothing. But that is unrelated to the OP post I guess.

Worked, but no Touch?

The .bat file worked for me after modifying the first line with "bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar"

I was then able to flash the CWM.tar via Odin 3.07 on my GS3. However, the CWM.img file I downloaded was 6.0.4.5 touch version, and after flashing the .tar I only have the normal non-touch CWM version.

I don't really mind much because I found accidental swipes on the touch version to be annoying, but has anyone else had this issue?

Great tool! I bricked my phone, and with your tool, I was able to repair it!! For me, the tip from gIMpSTa (post 23) solved the error while executing your script.

I just fixed my galaxy note edge from a failed CF Auto Root operation that ended with the ""Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." error. Thanks a lot. Extracting the .tar.MD5 file inside CF Auto Root, taking the Recovery.img from there and putting it inside the folder with the tool on the main post, then running the RunMe application, creating the recovery.tar.MD5 file and flashing it through Odin in Download Mode really helped me! Thanks a lot. Hope the weird step by step I just described can help some people with problems to find the fix.

Does this tool only work for recovery? What if I convert a dumped system.img or boot.img and flash with odin?

 

[mattish.91]

I had som serious issues with this tool and i forced it to create tar.md5 it using the exact path to the bin\* and this worked for me. Edited Runme to look like this:
C:\aaa\bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar
C:\aaa\bin\md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
C:\aaa\bin\mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5

Hope this helps for any one

[froma72]

I need a recovery.img valid file for i9001 to convert, it's not available on the clockworkmod.com/rommanager.

Resolved.

 

[PowSniffer0110]

SO why doesnt this work? I copy the recoveyr over to the folder and it simple says it does not exit. but that is bull **** the file is sitting right in the folder you say, the root folder where you unziped too. So it should be sitting next to RUN ME right?!?!?! Its not working. Windows 8

 

[gbmolina]

Does not work with cyanogenmod recovery (cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO333-klte-recovery.img), i renamed it, put it in the same dir, gives me an error.

Hope this helps for any one

This should be changed in the original file

 

[mark-1978]

you can just zipthe recovery.img to tar format with 7-zip.
