Tar Md5 Download
If you have rooted your Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Note 3, Note 2, S6, S5, S4, S3, S2, or any other Samsung devices including tablets, mostly like you have installed a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. Well, if you want to receive stock OTA updates (perhaps you want to try the latest firmware that came out last night and you are still on stock firmware), you will need to re-install stock recovery.
How to do this?
The process is actually rather simple. You need to download the latest stock Samsung firmware for your model of Samsung device, extract the recovery.img file from it, then compress it back into tar file and flash with ODIN.
Step 1. Download appropriate Samsung stock firmware for your device:
- Galaxy Note 4 Stock Firmwares – Link
- Galaxy Note 3 Stock Firmwares – Link
- Galaxy S5 Stock Firmwares – Link
- Galaxy S4 Stock Firmwares – Link
- Galaxy S3 Stock Firmwares – Link

Step 4. You should find the recovery.img file, this is the stock recovery file for your Samsung device. Select it and hit Extract.
Step 5. Compress the file using 7Zip in “.tar” format.
Step 6. Put your Samsung device in ODIN Download mode, select AP or PDA in ODIN program and select the new “recovery.tar” file, then hit “Start”.
If done successfully, your phone will reboot and you should have stock recovery back. To reboot into recovery and check, power off your phone then hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons. (You can also use QuickBoot app on PlayStore to reboot into recovery if you have a rooted device.)
Now, you have learned how to re-install stock recovery. If you are running rooted stock firmware (meaning you’ve rooted your phone but did not install custom ROM OR you have restored your stock ROM using CWM or TWRP), you can use this method to re-enable OTA(over-the-air) updates. Now, you may also have to remove root, simply use SuperSU app to unroot also. You can easily re-root after OTA by re-install CWM or TWRP recovery then flashing SuperSU zip file.
That’s about it, if you lost root and need to re-root, see our How to Root Android page!
You can also install the recovery.img file using Flashify app. (Skip Step 5 and 6 as you don’t need the tar file.)

Odin is a very useful tool that communicates with connected Android device (in download mode) and lets you install / flash ROM on your Android device. It’s an internal Samsung tool that is used for flashing firmware on devices. It’s available for Windows only. It’s very important to understand Odin and know about all the options that the program offers. Here is everything you need to know about the tool.
What is Odin?
Odin is a tool developed by Samsung to be used internally. It is used to flash firmware onto Android devices. You can flash .tar, .tar.md5 or .bin firmware files using Odin. There are different versions of Odin available. You can choose one depending on your device.
Understanding Odin Options
First, lets see what does the checkbox options do:
Auto Reboot: This option, when checked, reboots the system automatically after flashing is done.
Re-Partition: So, what does re-partition do in Odin? It repartitions your device filesystem to the default (RFS).
F . Reset Time: It resets the flashing timer after the flash process is complete.
And here is what different buttons mean and what they are used for:
PIT: Partition Information Table. If you checked the “Re-Partition” checkbox, you should also specify a .pit file to repartition the file system.
Bootloader: This button is used to flash the device Bootloader.
PDA: It refers to the firmware build. You can use this button to select the ROM or Kernel that you want to flash on to your device.
Phone: It refers to baseband / modem version.
CSC: Consumer Software Customization. Click this button and select the CSC file. It contains region or carrier specific files and may also include APN / MMS settings for that carrier.

Please be aware that you need to be very careful while using Odin. Especially with “Re-Partition” option you need to select the right PIT file. If you do not have the right .pit file, do not check “Re-Partition” option as it may brick your phone.
