How to extract kernel from firmware md5 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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

STOCK recovery for P3100 ICS.

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!

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.

[q] help! How do i go back to my stock kernel

I installed a kernel but there's a wifi bug and i don't know how to fix it. I made a backup before, but when i restore it, it doesn't go BACK!
i have i337M (4.4.2)
Someone please help me ..
I haven't personally tried this on the s4 but it should work. Grab the 4.4.2 factory tar file, rename it without the.md5, and extract it. Inside you should find a boot.img. Put that on your device and flash it with flashify from the play store.

Thanks! I will try it when I finish downloading the File from SamMobile.
Just to Clarify:
I need to remove the .md5 from the name? So just .tar? and then extract and put the boot.img on my sd and install flashify and flash from there? And my kernel will be back to stock?
If I wanted to unroot, would i just flash the .tar file through Odin? That would remove TWRP, root and custom kernel, am i correct?
Thanks.

How to flash stock rom

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.

Flash zip files from odin...

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.
