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.)

After the above are done, open the KIES connect the phone to download the firmware, slowly and so on, until 85 percent of the time you will be prompted extracting binary this time we should pay attention, pay attention to look at this temp folder . At this point there will be a compressed package, do not bother him, and you'll find more than a temp folder inside a folder, when my phone upgrade folder name is tmp5F40.tmp.zipfolder open this folder, there are a “N910TUVU1ANK4-N910TTMB1ANK4-N910TUVU1ANK4-HOME.tar.md5”, until immediately after extraction is completed to be copied to another folder, the action if too slow, then the system will automatically be deleted.
