Convert IMG into Odin flashable TAR.MD5

Hello dear humans,
This tutorial will help you convert simple IMG files into TAR.MD5, which is flashable using Odin (Mobile or PC version both).
For this you need to install JAVA JDK and Cygwin from the links below.

JAVA JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-2133151.html
Cygwin: content.wuala.com/contents/neroyoung/XDA%20ROM%20Dev%20Tools/Cygwin.zip

How to install?
-Before doing anything, install Java then install Cygwin by extracting the zip and then extracting the cygwin_packages.zip, Run the cygwin.exe setup and select "Install from local...." then select the folder containing extracted files from cygwin_packages.zip, then click the "S" like button on all

and install in a folder you can access easily using commands.
(THE ABOVE LINKS ARE ONLY FOR WINDOWS VERSION OF JDK AND CYGWIN, IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IN OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS SO PLEASE GOOGLE IT. #IN LINUX DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING JUST DO IT IN THE TERMINAL)

Now in folder installed cygwin, go to home open cygwin.exe or open it from the shortcut in your desktop (THE IMG FILE AND CYGWIN MUST BE IN SAME FOLDER), lets name our IMG file recovery.img, in cygwin type the following commands without $ [Because cygwim already types $ before a command]

$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img >
recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5

Congrats you've successfully concerted your IMG file.to Odin flashable TAR.MD5



Hit Thanks if this helped you
