I haven't had the need to return to stock yet but have a question. I have rooted and done CWM already. I downloaded the stock tar file and when I open up Odin and try to select it, Odin doesn't see the file. I've redownloaded Odin and the tar file but still no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this same problem? I just want to get this figured out so if I need to revert back to stock there won't be a problem. Thanks in advance.

Did you extract the .tar from the .7z file you downloaded?

Oops... I had the same problem and extracting the file solved it.

Wouldn't that be what the Odin files are in the "get back to stock" thread?

I dont want ODIN files. I need the files that you can readily modify in windows. i need to go through and find some files and put them in a rom.

Pretty certain Odin files are zip files. I can't check into it at work but I would guess you can just use 7zip and extract them. Otherwise, just flash your phone back to stock and pull whatever you need from there.

Odin is .tar and .md5 files. i cannot open those in windows. I need ones that u can flash for instance with clockworks recovery type of file.

There is no such thing. That's why you have to use Odin to go back to stock. And I know the file extensions of Odin, however those files contain other folders/files. Which is why I said use 7zip to see them.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
You know another thing you could try is the pick n pack rom file. It is stock deodexed and a flashable .zip file. The odin files can be opened on a PC you just have to use the programs mentions. But as far as a complete stock flashable. zip file. You aren't going to find it cause we just don't have it. Best bet would be to download the mentioned programs and decompress the ODIN file.
Another thing I just remembered is the program winrar recognizes the .tar ODIN files as winrar archives. You may be able to decompress and extract the files you need with that program. But if your gong to have to download anyting I would just do the above mentioned programs as they have been proven to work.
Tap-a-Talked.
As stated above you can get those from pick and pack it is the stock rom essentially and includes all of the .apk's and files in a .zip (you'll need apktool to decompile the .apk's in windows), or you could flash stock in odin and then pull them with ADB (QTADB works well for that).
You won't be able to work with the .bin files located inside the .tar (in windows), but you can get into the .tar with winrar or 7zip. You need linux to get into the .bin files
Hi,
I need help from kind heart people in this forum if they can help to re-packaged the XXKG5 files from xda-developer into ODIN flashable files like example
CODE_I9100XXKG5_xxxxxx.tar.m d5
MODEM_I9100XXKG5_xxxxxx.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5
I have downloaded the XXKG5 files from xda-developer BUT the package contains files like boot, cache, factoryfs, hidden, modem, param.lfs, sbl and zImage of which I cannot flash with ODIN.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to have XXKG5 on my SGS2.
Thanks.
i guess you extract the .tar file don't you? just double click 7e file that you originally download and use the extracted file as it is. do not need to extract once again.

I didn't. Yes I extracted the first compressed file dowloaded. Then all I get are the files like in Image 1. Since Odin cannot flash the compressed file in Image 1....IF I extracted the compressed file in Image 1 then all I get are the files like in Image 2...
As you can see, either way I can't flash with Odin.
If you downloaded from xda it shouldntt look like that.You only need to double click on the file and it extracts.if you didn't download from here then here it is

Read the first notice part about extracting the file to make sure you understand clearly.
Hey I'm new herre and im trying to put clockwork mod on my phone, ive already rooted with superone click. Im using odin v3.95 and i think i need a ops file because when i try to click start with cwm loaded in pda i just get a check image file error.
Im a total noob. Please Help! Thanks
What is the filename of the file you're trying to flash?
cwm-recovery-ALL.tar
I at least figured out it had to be a .tar file.
Download 7zip and open that .tar file within 7zip...is there another .tar or .md5 file inside? There was a CWM .tar released that you had to extract the flashable file from inside of it.
Whoever packaged it made it really confusing. Check and see if that's what you got. Or link me to the file you downloaded and I'll check it out for you.
Need help. I am trying to restore my Skyrocket to factory. I down loaded the necessary files
-ODIN
-SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane
The thing is that when I open Odin, click PDA and browse, I don't see the tar file(SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane)? Do I have to convert the file to tar?
The SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane is in the download file and I see it but when I use Odin to browse, I don't see the file?
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing a step?
I am using Window's Vista. Does it make any difference?
I have read instructions many many times and I can't figure it out.
anyone out there?
Sorry bro. I would help you but seeing as I have yet to have my SkyRocket in Hand and have not gone through the rooting and ROM process on THIS device. I am not comfortable giving advice. Best to wait for someone who has more experience with the SkyRocket than I.

the .tar file is INSIDE the file you downloaded. the file you downloaded is a .7z or 7zip file. 7zip is a free archive/extractor. unzip it with 7zip and you will find your tar file.
i find it always helps to have your WINDOWS configured to show file extensions to keep confusion like this to a minimum, since you would have actually seen the file extension type.
careful! this method trips the ROM counter. why are you returning to stock?
I figuered it out. I bricked my phone trying to update to 2.36.
