You don't have to flash the zimage file. Instead flash the .tar file which you get after you extract the downloaded .zip file. When extracting, don't select extract here instead select extract to folder -- the latter would get you .tar file while the former gets you not-for-flashing zimage file.

All the CWM files from the official website are *.img but odin3 is asking for a tar file.
there has to be some reason why all the files are IMG that its the right file (its the only thing available form their site...). Where can I find a tar file from CWM?
Additionally, do you have to root to flash CWM from stock?
Hi,
Yes. I screwed up
copied over a new build.prop to /system but I didn't change permission or might have made a mistake. So now my phone doesn't boot into android, or TWRP!
The only thing I can go into is the Samsung S4 Downloading window, I think it's the Odin screen.
I have Odin 3.0.7 (I have i337m)... and wouldn't it be possible to just flash a tar file or a zip file that can do the following:
delete /system/build.prop (The one I screwed up)
rename /system/build.props.bak to build.prop
That is all I need to do to fix my bricked phone!! OTherwise I guess I would have to flush using odin the while Samsung thing and might lose root and reflash kankapop!!!
Any help would be appreciate in the file I need to use.
I noticed Odin has a File [Dump] .. maybe I can use that?
Thanks,
You would need to flash a custom recovery through Odin, then you would have to create a flashable zip for flashing through the custom recovery. In the flashable zip would be the original, unmodified build.prop, the updater binary, and the updater script. The script would issue the command to copy the new build.prop over the old one and set its permissions.
AFAIK, you can't use Odin to send single files like that.
Hi, i have a galaxy tab 4 7" i got a few days ago. I found a way to root it by flashing TWRP recovery through ODIN, and i succeeded getting root access. Now my tablet has a software update available, and i don't have the stock recovery available. Can anyone upload the stock recovery file for my tablet? My build number is: T230NUUEUOANK2. Thanks.
Edit: Stock recovery found, no need for this post anymore.
Is there any way you can post the link of where you found the stock recovery I'm having the same problem with my tab 4

Go to this thread and download the file with your tablet model number to your PC. Open up the zip and extract the .tar file inside (might be .tar.md5, whatever, doesn't matter). Now, you know how you just opened up that zip file in Winrar or 7zip because it's an archive? Well, those Odin tar files are archives too! (TAR = Tape Archive Record) So just open the tar (or tar.md5) file in Winrar or 7zip and extract the file called recovery.img. That's the stock recovery you're after.

According to
this thread where i posted photos of my phones INFO
I downloaded N910F( UK BTU) 6.0.1 firmware (.ZIP) file
When i tried to flash using TWRP it says ZIP file is corrupted.
I downloaded it from two website
sammobile
and
samsung.org
both are corrupted(it should not be i think)
When i look into it it has only one file .tar.md5
i tried to extarct it using winrar and it says file is corrpted
\BTU-N910FXXS1DQFA-20170726090446.zip: The archive is corrupt
Although it extracted the N910FXXS1DQFA_N910FBTU1DPL1_N910FXXS1DQA1_HOME.tar.md5
In both files i got the same result same
i dont know what to do now
I tried Odin and it stuck at "there is no pit file partition" or something like that
(yes i wiped out cache and system delvik etc.)
I also tried inserting PIT file but no luck
i would prefer without Odin if possible
As I can go into TWRP recovery
Please guide me or at least answer a few question
1. Is it even possible to flash stock rom using twrp like i flash other roms?
2. Can i install extracted .md5 file from that zip? will it be the same like stock zip?
3. Why my Both zip files are corrpted? your opinion?
4. Should i download again same stock rom?
5. Can / Should i flash or download and /or downgrade Stock firmware (same 6.0.1 )but different release date?
6. Am i downloading the right firmware for my device here is my device details posted??

Based on the amount and type of questions, I believe you need to read up on basic Note 4 flashing/customization knowledge first. Go and read up on the stickies.
Without knowledge and experience, we can tell you how to do a brain surgery, but doesn't make you a surgeon.
No, twrp cannot be used to flash stock rom. Stock rom are most of the time md5 files, used by ODIN only.
Since you downloaded the zip files, use the "Test" function to see if it is corrupted?
Maybe you should just flash a stock based custom rom with VR and be done with it.

==================================================
Check your Winzip version. It may be old and doesnt handle large zipfiles too well. I had the same problem but I know the file was good as I downloaded it at work, and Winzip worked just fine; but when I got home, winzip failed on my pc - old 8.1 version. I used the trial version just fine to unzip.

Did you keep the ROM as a Zip file when you loaded it in to Odin?
Do not unzip the ROM file.
Try again.

Hi Guys,
I have compiled a kernel for note 4 from opensource samsung.
I have got zimage in two locations , one in output which is less than 10mb and one in main kernel boot folder which is 20 mb.
When i try to flash using odin i , get the error , unsupported dev type.
I have firmware N910GDTS1DRH2 N910GODD1DRD1 downloaded from sammobile.
Also after compiling i have got some modules which i didnot touch.
I downloaded source from http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=n910g
I have tried 3 mm versions, but all give same error.
Any help will be appreciated.
I also tried making boot.img with perl script but phone doesnot boot up using that.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit
I use AIK to unpack the stock boot image. Take the zImage from output/arch/arm/boot/ and replace the original one in the new split_img folder that AIK creates. Be sure to rename it what AIK names it (boot.img-zImage if I remember right). Then repack it flash the new image via TWRP. The new-image should be close to 15.8 mb.

Is TWRP neccessary

Thanks for your reply, i was wondering if i can flash using odin or i have to use twrp? zimages are convertible to tar files that odin can flash but the problem i am facing is odin mode showing unsupported dev type.

Yeah, you could make it in to .tar if you'd like but it needs to be in a boot.img form. The only way I know how to directly flash a zImage is with anykernel or a tool similar to that.
Kernel flash was success but phone is not stable now !

Ok i was able to flash boot.img by converting into tar (having new zimage) , but system is rebooting again and again after sometime.
I was able to flash after making boot.img using AIK. Thanks for advice.
