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.

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??

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.

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 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.
