Hi guys
Im new to flashing. Especially with odin multidownloader. Ive downloaded and extracted the firmware with winrar. But there is only one file after extraction. Do i only tick of pda and select that file and leave all the other boxes as is, in odin multidownloader and press start?
Please if someone can help me with a spoon feeding guide to this.
Ive checked the guide in the other threads in xda from samfirmware but they use ops, boot, phone,pda and csc, but the firmware ive downloade has only one file after i extracted it.
please help

You have to flash it as "One Package". Tick on "One package", "Reboot" and "Protect ops". Then select the ops file(apollo_0531.ops) and the .tar file which you downloaded in the required fields. And then flash.
A detailed tutorial is given here.
if you haven't already flashed remove boot.bin and sbl.bin from the tar file (if they are there)!!!

hey guys where I get a .TAR file ? or convert a .zip to .tar.
I have my pit file just dont seem to know what to do with the .tar file.
Im used to restore.flashing my phone via .zip thats all.
Can I just take my .zip rom I want and convert to .tar
what is it that you wanted to do in the first place? samfirmware has copies of the regional firmwares (.tar files) if you want them.
.tar is another form of archive. You need to read this fully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
I also recommend you search Youtube for some videos of the process too. Odin flashing is not the same as a .zip update from SD Card, and honestly if you are unfamiliar with what a tar-ball is you may not be up for what using Odin entails. You have a very real risk of bricking your phone through a mistake.
Read, read again, be sure, flash!
i Have downloaded the file I9003DDKB2.rar and extracted it and got I9003DXKB2-I9003DXKB2-I9003DDKB2_HOME inside of the folder.. How can i flash my i9003 when there is only one file and none of it even states that it is a PDA,PHONE or CSC fileso be patient wit me.. how to flash ..any one could help me...
Just select the pit file as normal but remember to uncheck repartition box and flash , then reboot in download mode and put the ddkb2 single file in the PDA slot and flash
Press Thanks if it helps you!!!
dont do this foolishness by selecting the pit file..
directly choose the PDA file .
andperform a hard reset after flashing..
ur done....
But don't u need a pit even for flashing a single file package?

No... You don't need a pit file when flashing binary as a single file.
Select the tar as pda and flash it.

The PIT file is to repartition the phone for a clean wipe. When upgrading you need only the PDA file, Considering it falls under the same OS version
I need a PDA,PHONE and CSC file for I9003DDKB2 because in my i9003 I have already installed I9003XXKP9.So I want to change it back to my orignal I9003DDKB2 in my mobile.
So anbody who has the file please upload it.
Problem that I am facing in the I9003XXKP9 is the camera is not working, is there any way I can rectify the problem and retain the I9003XXKP9 in my mobile.Then may be I wont need the files for I9003DDKB2.
Thanks in advance
Flash to xxkb3 following krazy's guide and then flash to ddkb2 without using the pit file...put your file in pda and flash

Hi, I have a stock rom in format tar.md5. I want to split in three, modem.tar.md5 , pda.tar.md5 and csc.tar.md5 to upload archive modem.tar.md5 THROUGH odin.
It doesn't work that way, it will fail md5 checks, however if you want to pick and choose what gets flashed I suggest Mobile Odin from the play store which allows you to choose which IMGs are flashed.
If you don't want to choose, and flash everything, you just need to put the .tar.md5 into the PDA field and flash away.

i need to extract modem.tar.md5 to upload through ODIN because i install cm 11 and i have nothing of signal.

Please use the red triangle report button and ask a mod to move the post.

Modem is not a tar file its a bin.
You would be better reading the faqs and guides first .

Your best bet will be to find a flashable zip of the correct modem file, we have a list in the index thread, but that doesn't have the most recent ones.
Also are you sure it's a modem issue, you could have corrupted your /efs, cross reference your imei against what it says on the back of the phone or on the box. also is your phone able to register on the network.

You're opening the tar file at that point. If it says it's an invalid size or something you're extracting to far. If you download a .7z or .zip just right click it and hit extract. You should end up with a .tar or .md5. That is what you will select in Odin.
If there is power (lights, partial boot) it is not bricked. A bricked phone is completely dead. Your phone is soft-bricked.
The advice above is correct. Stop when you get to .tar and put it somewhere you know where it is to put in the PDA slot in Odin.
And please follow forum rules and post your question once and wait for an answer. Do not make more threads for the same problem. Thanks.

Thanks, but no pit or xml for pit inside the zip...
And how to use it with Odin 3.10? With Re-partition checked? Can you do a how-to?
Thanks
Load newest drivers for device from:
http://www.samsung.com/support/downloads
To completely flash the device, in ODIN v3.10, Simple load all four parts into there designated slots:
"BL" = BL
"AP" = AP
"CP" = MODEM
"CSC" = CSC
Then check to re-partition, nand erase all.
Charge device to 100% battery!!!
Place device into download mode, hold volume down, home button, press and release power.
Press volume up to confirm.
Connect to computer.
Check the phone bootloader update, and efs clear checkboxes once device is recognized.
Hit the START button!!
WAIT FOR REBOOT!
Wow it works! Tnx! At the first boot the default language is for Greece but the rom works perfectly in Italy and, I presume, in many others european countries. Only an hint for the noobs: in Odin on the CP file selection you must load the MODEM_I9300... file. Good luck!
I edited the instructions! Thanks @orsonbear!

Did you check the re-partition box?
And the pit file where is it?
It is located inside the .tar.md5 file. It will re-partition if you check the box. You can extract it if you like, but if you dont know how....honestly you shouldn't be messing with it, IMHO
Link is dead.. Can you help.. I need to repartition. Thanks
you can create .pit if custom recovery work (example terminal in twrp) or in debug mode (software on forum EFS_Professional)
use any stock rom
Please help. I need that link for my phone. That link already death. Some one please..
cmon, use google find any rom for your phone or samobile
if you cant do this then dont try repartition
Cmon.. I know what I need. If you have juz giv. And i say thanks.
