I'm trying to flash the stock rom on my Nexus. When I download it off Google site it's a tgz and when I unzip it it's a tar file n recovery can only flash zip files. Where can I get the stock 4.3 rom in a flashable zip?

Try "TeamAndroid" ROMs in GooManager. They're basically stock without the ability to take OTAs. Just don't let it flash stock recovery. It's either that or fastboot to stock.

I tried looking around, but couldn't find the stock recovery for the P3100. It's available only for the P3113. Could someone with the stock tab upload the recovery here, please? To flash via Odin, obviously.
Thanks!
PS if a thread like this already exists, please link me to it and then delete this thread!

You can download from samfirmware a full rom for p3100 ,extract it with winrar ,and inside you'll fin stock recovery.img.If the extension of the rom it's .tar.md5 ,just remove .md5 form extension,and you'll be able to extract it with winrar without a problem.Cheers!
If you have the stock kernel (boot.img) and stock ROM (fully stock, no files deleted), stock recovery should flash itself back to your phone every time the device boots up.
No, I don't, which is why I wanted the recovery!

I can also use mobile ODIN free or PAID and flash only the stock recovery, if that what you want.

I want to install my stock recovery to be able to download OTA updates using my stock themed firmware but I can't figure out how to install the recovery.img that i got from my official firmware. I already tried to flash it using odin & through twrp recovery but the file is not supported. Can anybody convert my recovery.img into a flashable file?

Hi,
Look HERE
Flashing the stock firmware for your phone will also flash stock recovery and stock kernel.

I am currently using stock firmware and stock kernel but my recovery is twrp. I want to restore my stock recovery without affecting my root and modified system files.

You will need to find a stock recovery only image that can be installed by ODIN.

I was able to extract my stock recovery.img from my stock firmware but it is formatted as Disc Image File. I am wondering if its possible to convert it to other format so that i can flash it via odin or recovery.

You can`t flash the extracted stock recovery with Odin but you can with Mobile Odin Pro from your phone. It also flashes .img files. Did it myself on the I9505.

Try with this fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery

I tried to flash recovery.img that i extracted from my stock firmware via mobile odin pro but got some problems. After boot logo, it goes back to the setup wizard like when you open your phone for the first time. I can't also proceed with the wizard since i'm getting an error like secsettings stopped responded.
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.

Hi all!!! I have the Wind Mobile Canada M919V. I've downloaded the latest firmware from Sammobile in tar/md5 format. I've extracted the tar file and see the modem.bin, boot.img, recovery.img, etc. Which file is the kernel? How do I extract the kernel so I can flash it with odin after installing a custom rom through bootstrap? I've tried googling for the answer but couldn't come up with anything. Anyone? Thx!
Boot.img. If you're rooted use the flashify app. No need for Odin

HI everybody
I updated my n910H to 5.1.1 , worked well and decided to flash a custom kernel . also faced to problem with wifi and now i decided to flash my original kernel.
i extracted the boot.img from update package N910HXXU1COH4_N910HOLB1COH4_N910HXXU1COH3_HOME.tar
now, im not sure how to flash it !! via odin or anything else needed
thank u for your help
any help ?????
when I had my S3 if I needed the stock kernel I would simply reflash the stock rom since they usually have the stock kernels built-in

Never tried with samsung phones (and probably it is not possible) but with my other android devices I just extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it with fastboot using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
With a samsung device you should probably (or definitely) create a flashable .zip file with the boot.img of your stock ROM and flash it via recovery.
You need to download your original kernel from net, there are 2 types of file you’ll find, one is .zip and another one is .tar. If you download .zip file you have to flash it with recovery (CWM/TWRP) or if you download .tar file (don't try to make your own .tar file) then you can flash it with Odin tool.
