Ah ok I know you can extract the files individually by right clicking on them after installing 7zip.
Edit: I see the recovery file is in the AP file for Snapdragon.

Yes, it's the same for Snapdragon too. After you extract the recovery.img it needs to be converted to .tar file and then flashed with Odin. You might be able to flash the recovery.img with TWRP without converting it. Please confirm this with a fellow TWRP user because I was doing this a couple years ago so this is from memory.

Yes you can flash .img files with TWRP but I don't see a point in doing this. Flashing the stock recovery.img will replace TWRP. Sounds like the OP wants to stay with stock. But I'm not understanding the point in flashing just the stock recovery & what caused the need to do so, that's not something you hear of being done. Usually you just flash the entire AP in Odin but as said you can create a tar for the recovery image to flash in Odin.

Great tip , I used 7zip to make the .tar file I was looking for .. Life Saver !!!
No twrp for me yet , just odin .. im still in "jail" cause the oem unlock 7 days limitation
I got back my phone ( customized ) after flashing the stock recovery ... the twrp recovery didnt go well and got stucked in samsung logo . that was my problem , didnt want to go for a full "odin wipe"
Thank You !!!!!!!!!

Awesome, I was just wondering if you got this straitened out this morning. I'm glad it worked out good besides the OEM lock.

I find that I cant encrypt a TWRP wiped partition when I was on my Note 4. Using the stock recovery to wipe data after rooting the system partition, I can go in and reinstall the root app later w/ success, but first encrypt the phone. I will play around w/ stock recovery and learn how the note 8 may differ. Thanks for the info above.

Why don't you just go to www.sammobile.com and download a complete stock firmware then flash it through ODIN in the PDA section
Thanks and I restored it with twrp .

by flashing by the phone you mean via recovery???
you need to flash that system image via download mode (hold home + volume down, press power few seconds , hold buttons util you get into dl mode )

Or, you can flash the recovery.img file using Rashr app. You need to extract from recovery.zip file if cant find .img from the net.

I see.. Not sure if stock TW RoM zip do have it, I'll tell you if I see one.
Good luck.
Forgot to tell you this, if you have stock ROM, extract it and explore inside it, I believe there is the original recovery file in it, as our frens earlier post said.

You cannot flash custom rom in odin even if it's in tar format.
Check twrp version should be latest and must be for your particular model.
Make wipe first before flashing any rom to avoid and errors.

Nand Erase In ODIN ( *** SOLVED *** )

Guys,
I need an urgent help. Here is my Story..
Using 9208 Note 5 model. After trying different custom roms i tried to flash stock firmware using Odin. Did everything correctly. Unfortunately i checked Nand Erase all option too. The result is my Note 5 stuck at Samsung DimDim logo. For almost 1 hour. Tried reflash several times but no luck..
So i flashed twrp and wipe data and factory reset and reboot. Its works. But problem with voLTE. No voLTE working. I know flashing JIO voLTE fix will solve this but i need a solution for this Odin. I dont want to flash voLTE fix.
Can someone help me pls.. How to bypass that Samsung logo without flashing Twrp.. ?

Well that's because you erased everything including your partitions so now you need to find the .PIT file for your exact model and select it in odin while flashing the firmware again.

I need to know the firmware version that you were on before this problem started.. The PIT file is always inside of the firmware you download all you need to is unzip it from within the .zip..

You can only downgrade if you have firmware that's bootloader version 4 because you're currently on bootloader version 4 and you cannot go back down to bootloader version 3 or earlier because that's been blocked by Sammy.. If you need the PIT file it's inside of the firmware that you downloaded you just need to extract it from the file. If you have the firmware G935FXXS4ESC6 then unzip it and then unzip them again and you'll find the PIT file in there.. It's usually inside of the CSC .tar file.

Thanks for your kind support, as per your suggestion after unzip the csc file i found the pit file . Now should i select Nand Erase & Re-Partition options after inserting the pit file. Is it safe to select these options?
I have flash so many time with same firmware, flashing was ok but still i'm facing same problem.

You can do that yes and if that doesn't fix your problem then there must be something wrong with the phone itself. For your information though you're asking for help in the Galaxy Note 5 thread but you're on a Galaxy S7 Edge.. I do think a moderator might end up moving this to the correct place.

You shouldn't have used any tool.
You could have easily recovered your unknown baseband by simply flashing your stock firmware.
Retry flashing the Stock firmware. But this time, do a wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode first.
Use the latest stock firmware that is available for your country/CSC.
If you can find a pit file, include that in odin flash with the stock firmware. Put a checkmark on the "repartition" option.
It's normal for the device to take 5-10 minutes or more during the initial boot.

i beg you can you plz help understand it
Extract Stock firmware AP file (rename .md5 to .tar)
this i cant understand wich should i rename or what i do
Rename dqmdbg.img to efs.img (or smallest image must be smaller than 8000 KB). Extract Dqmdbg.img.lz4 so it’s just “Dqmdbg.img” and then rename it to efs.img and put that one in a tar. Other option is downloading a file that’s already made this way if your bootloader is binary 4, Saves you trouble of extracting / renaming: http://www.mediafire.com/file/589wuc...f/efs.tar/file (if you download this file just move onto number 3)
Add file new efs.img into tar archive.
Flash tar as AP file in odin + download mode
Reboot download mode
Flash Combination with odin + nand erase option on Edit: suggest you to flash stock rom first and oem unlock, don't need to wait for 7 days if imei is 0000 skip combination step
Device Should boot into Factory binary
Use IME to restore imei using *#06# (or imei 0000 in stock rom) Edit: This step is not required if efs backup is restored successful
Your device should have dm-verify failed in recovery due to drk error
Continue drk bypass for dm verify error below to continue

I have the same problem with my note 9. Im looking if anyone can provide me with efs file of N960F Binary 3 so i can get it unbricked again.
I found this website but it has efs files for binary 1 and 2 not 3. Will it still work if i use binary 2 efs?
