Hey,
long story short, upgraded TWRP to 3.2.1 to flash LineageOS 17.1 but can't flash Gapps since 3.2.1 seems to be bugged in that way and throws an error.
Got TWRP 3.1.1 again but only as a .tar file but can't flash through Odin since I can't get a data connection (broken microUSB slot).
Tried to make .tar file to .zip file but didn't work out and TWRP is throwing an error stating wrong .zip format.
How can I get a properly flashable .zip file of 3.1.1? Or is there any other way to solve my problem?

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?
I successfully rooted my N915F running on latest lollipop using this method, just download the cf root 915f files , flash with odin that is provided inside the zip file and ofcourse it will fail, then flashed the latest TWRP 2.8.7.0 , in my case i have to make the tar file using cygwin because the tar file is not available on TWRP website instead you will get a img file. After the TWRP is up, i flashed the supersu 2.46 and its done
Note: i m new and not allowed to post the outside links, you can google the files and find it very easily. To make the tar file you can search img to tar using cygwin method.

So pumped to see the vzw loaders got unlocked.
I was trying out CM13 but i'm having 3g/lte issues, but if i go back to stock i'm fine.
Looking for other things to try, but most of what i'm interested in i see in unified dev and i'm not seeing vzw versions of.. well.. pretty much anything.
I flashed a klte just as a test, and while it worked i wasnt able to get cdma working so i couldn't make calls., so i guess i definitely need a specific vzw / g900v variant .
What are you guys running?
Download pd1 firmware for kltevzw from Sammobile. Com
rename it in Windows file manager to remove md5
For Example cm13kltevzw. Tar. Md5
Change to cm13kltevzw. Tar
Then extract files using 7 zip file manager and
Then once it completes click add to archive modem and choose tar then flash in Odin
Then also in 7 zip file manager also click add to archive tar the boot.img. File then flash this in odin also
If it still doesn't work do a full backup in twrp mount all partitions first then check all check boxes under backup and backup to your external SD card
Unmount modem partition before you wipe Then do a full wipe wipe in twrp. Wipe everything but USB storage and external SD card then flash cm13kltevzw rom to your Phone in twrp then flash in twrp gapps for mm then reboot
Try this nightly 9/6/16 cm13kltevzw nightly works well for me I'm on it right now I have no issues with calling or cell service
Resurrection remix mm is stable and
so is cyanide Android version 5.0 mm
and so also pb1 lolipop rooted rom by Jrkruse
Also ni2 kitkat rooted rom by beanstalk
There are other roms but I haven't found other stable roms yet
Title. I was able to flash a right zip, but it said that "this device has been flashed with unauthorized software." I am using TMB.
No. Dont even try unless you somehow unlocked your bootloader
My attempts to flash the zip as spoken in the description happened quite a few days ago, and I ended up restoring. Thank you very much!
There is no zip to flash when flashing TWRP. You flash the .tar file through Odin
Hi all,
Just after some help here...
I'm trying to flash the stock recovery to remove the features from TWRP, the ability to delete and access files... Essentially to dumb the phone down after I've got it where it needs to be.
I've extracted the recovery.img.l4z file from the stock AP and then extracted the recovery.img then added it to a .tar archive...
So now I have the recovery.tar file however it won't flash via Odin. Odin pauses at "Get PIT for mapping".
Any suggestions to remove TWRP and return the recovery to stock would be awesome! Thank you
OK - fixed, I added .img after recovery so effectively.... the final final to be flashed was recovery.img.tar
This worked. Samsung stock recovery flashed succesfully and twrp was removed.
Will leave this here for future reference.
Please note this recovery file came from AP_G950FXXUCDUD1_CL21427293_QB39365966 firmware file.
