Anyone can make or write here a tutorial how to remove the bootloader from a ROM?(because of signing bootloaders)
In the thread which contains the patch for unsigning the bootloaders they mention to remove bootloaders (BUT HOW?) or flash "safe" custom ROMs
e.g.: like I want to install a STOCK samsung firmware through Odin or Heimdall, and I want to know which file(s) have to be removed.
open up the tar and remove boot.bin and sbl.bin and ur done
Do you re-tar the file?

If you want to flash it via Odin. Otherwise you can just use Heimdall.

If you are flashing with Heimdal, then just leave out the boot.bin and sbl.bin files and you'll be okay. If you want to flash with Odin you will need to open up the tar file and delete these two. Be careful with doing this as tar files modified in Windows don't always flash properly with Odin, you need to use Linux to tar the files up to be sure it will work okay. I have Cygwin on my Vista PC and use this to tar up files for flashing with Odin and it works fine. I pull all the files out of the tar then re-tar the ones I want to flash. I've done this for removing bootloader files and making mix and match files of different pda, csc and modem versions successfully.
I would be interested to know if anyone knows of a Windows program that can be used to create tar files that are flashable with Odin??

Hello
I'm trying to flash the jpu modem on stock jpy since I had good results with it. I don't really know where to get it correctly. I've found a jpu modem in the doc rom thread, but it's some zip file, i took the modem.bin file out and just made a TAR out of it. seems other modem tar files include just that.
But i don't know if it's correct.
And I'd welcome info on how to flash it, should I put it in the phone field?
Since this is a great way to brick a phone, I'd like some advice on this matter.
Thank you.
You can use heimdal and just flash the modem.bin directly

Don't put it in a TAR file. Just flash the modem.bin directly. Put it in the "PHONE" box. Make sure Repartition is unchecked and no other fields are filled.
After it's done, go to About to verify it flashed correctly. (Look at Baseband)
Done, running JPU modem on stock JPY...seems to also boot faster now
Thank you.
Hi
I am new to Flashing .. Do I need to do Factory Reset even for flashing only the modem.bin file or not..pls reply.

The .zip file in Doc's thread is meant to be flashed through recovery (CWM or 2e). But I guess flashing through Odin worked for you, so all's well.

You've unzipped 1 too many times.
You need the .Tar file.
Flash this in PDA section of Odin and you're good to go!
I would recommend formatting cache, data, system and preload in CWM first.

Good idea is to KEEP a copy of the stock rom for these little incidents... It is easier, and sometimes the only way, to flash the stock rom after a bad flash...
If you have the I9505 I would suggest buying Mobile ODIN... It makes flashing ALL roms so much easier... You do need to root the phone 1st though with PC ODIN. After that you can flash the tar files through it or the custom rom zip files... Mods can be flashed easily too.
since no one has suggested a nandroid backup, i am going ahead and doing that.
i have found it to be the most helpful when things go wrong
Hi guys...
How can i flash custom rom (zipped) to my Galaxy y using odin???
No other methods please.
Sent from my GT-S5360
well iv never done it and dont see why you would so iv no idea if it would work
you could just take the system folder from the rom - turn it into system.img using a programme that can make img files and then replace the system.img in the pda file of a stock firmware
who knows if it will work and as ever you are responsibile if you brick your device

Flashable zips for Odin? I don't think so...
I knew about flashable zips for recovery and .tar / .tar.md5 files for Odin. But the method you are asking about hasn't been tried, isn't the recommended one and will probably brick your device. To fix it, you must use Odin with the proper method, using the .tar and/or the .tar.md5 files.

Hey, just an opinion. Search around G928G modem.tar and flash it by CP tab of odin before flashing the firmware. Than try flasing firmware. If fails again, remove modem.bin file from firmware(dont know how to). Otherwise extract the whole files from firmware, delete modem.bin and make the rest files as firmware with proper tool(TAR maker or else). Good luck.

Well done, glad to know.
It has Android 4.4 on it, but LTE. So besides the old os still usable.
We tried Odin, it wants a .tar.md5, what is a good way to convert it to a .tar.md5, we did the tar tool for Odin, it made a small seperate .md5 file.Just want 1 file to flash, is there a easy way in Linux to do it?

I have lineage-15.1-20180708-UNOFFICIAL-core33g.tar.md5 (just .tar shows unless you go to properties, hmmm) anyway, I think that is it, Last few times I tried Windows says there is a prob. & stops it. does odin have a Linux versoin.
