Yeah i found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-extract-bootloader-make-flashable-t2864264
That's for making Odin files. A method for creating a flashable .zip was requested.
For that matter, I can't really help you but I'm pretty sure the bootloader is protected and writable only in download mode.

Hello guys
Does anyone have UFNB8 bootloader only file?
Or is there a way to extract it from UFNB8 package and flash it stand alone trough odin??
In the test leaks this file was separated... but in the official its is included in the file of 1.5 Gb.

Hi
Is there a way to get a stock kernel somewhere, in the purpose of flashing it either with CWM or in Odin? Everywhere I look, the Stock Rom packages contain the kernel, but also contain system image and recovery. I need only the kernel from this to flash, is there any way to get the kernel from each of this packages, so that I can flash it alone?

open the stock firmware with 7zip and copy the boot image to desktop
Thank you for taking the time.
So "boot.img" is kernel image?
If so, then once I extract the boot.img, how do I flash it using odin?

yes boot.img is the kernel.
you can use a special tool to make it a tar file like this
if you want. attach the boot.img here in a zip and i will make it for you
Thanks samersh72. I should probably learn that myself, you did enough for me already. I should be able to take it from here. Thanks again.

Can anyone give me the stock recovery for N900 4.4.2 please? My phone is rooted but used fake system stauts in wanam xpose. I can download OTA upgrade but failed to install the update. So i guess it must be bcoz of CWM. Thank you so much in advance.

I have the same problem before. And I have flash the stock firmware via Odin. No data will be lost.
If you are going to flash the stock recovery, you'd better flash the stock firmware
You can also download the stock firmware and extract the stock recovery yourself.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the stock firmware for your device.

Oh.really. I didnt realize it at all. Current firmware is the one that I downloaded and flashed it from odin. Can u guide me how to extract and flash it bcoz I am afraid I will have bootloop or brick.?
Yes I know your application and this is a must have for SAMSUNG.? I wait for you before i proceed anything.
The firmware file is a TAR archive and you can extract it with WinRAR.
You will get recovery.img file and it can be flash via Odin.
But it's easier if you flash full stock firmware. No data will be lost.

Do i need to repack recovery.img into tar.md5? I can add recovery.img into zip archive and then rename into tar.md5? is it a right method? I have modified something in system folder which i have to flash through CWM. So after i flash stock firmware, im not going to lose my data but my modification will be lost.
I hope u understand my problem.

Ok here is some stock recovery for your convenience: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50322367#post50322367
If you want to make your own TAR, here is a tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2
Wow..thank you so much. I keep looking for them until it gave me headache.
Can someone tell me a safe way to make a firmware package?
The problem is it's for a firmware with no tar. It's for the N910P and I want QA1!
I was gonna flash PK1 then take ota to QA1. Then i was gonna use Flash Fire to backup the boot loader and modem files. To pack into a tar.
Is this a safe way to do this? Yes i know you have to pack it in certain order. My main concern is the proper way to pull the file! Thank you!
You can use SamFirm to download the newest firmware
