Tar files are not suitable for writing to the SD card - you need an img file. I would recommend using the LibreELEC USB SD Creator to write your SD card.
Write the latest 8.2.4 img to the SD, boot the SD card in the RPi and then upgrade your SD card using the tar file copied into the .update folder (or Update Samba share).
