how to build a flashable image from source for Sprint Variation of Note 3

[zohal52]

Greetings
I need some help with packing a compiled image of the Samsung Source into a flashable image. After that I downloaded the stock image of my phone from SamMobile, and unpacked it. I then used an script called umkbootimg to replace the zImage in boot.img with mine and can created another boot.img. Here is what I have now:
stock3$ ls
aboot.mbn recovery.img
boot.img rpm.mbn
cache.img.ext4 sbl1.mbn
initramfs.cpio.gz sdi.mbn
modem.bin SS_DL.dll
N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5 system.img.ext4
N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_SPR.zip tz.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin zImage
I have tried to use tar –H ustar –C command to pack the files into a tar ball. I then added md5, and zipped the whole thing with zip command. But could not use twrp to flash it. I have also looked into Odin and Heimdall. The greatest success I have had so far has been an image that puts my phone into boot loop, and I had to recover. What is the fastest way I can create an image from this?

Maybe take a glance at a tutorial over at XDA? This was one of the first ones to come up on a Google search.

I need some help with packing a compiled image

Just so you know, a compiled image is object, not source. Source is human-readable (assuming you know the programming language) code. A compiled image is a series of bits (or binary numbers or hex numbers or however you decide to represent it). .img, .bin and .dll files are object (more properly, machine language) files. A .c or .h file would be source. They would be used to compile the .bin or .dll files.

Look at step 12 of post 7 in that thread? I know you want to just dismiss any help people give, but really, take the 10 seconds to look. It's there.
