So I tried to upgrade my second tab from froyo to overcome 4.1, after I put in pit files I noticed that tar files didn't showed up in odin. But if open the folder files it's right there. Is there something wrong? Thanks in advance for the help guys

You are downloading a ZIP file, unzip and try again.
I'll try that. Thanks

I dont have access to a linux box and I think in order to flash the latest JMA firmware from samfirmware i need to extract the rfs files in order to load them up via odin...if im completely off please disregard or point me to the correct path..
if any helpful souls out there that wouldnt mind extracting the files and uploading them here?
thanks
Im just a noob trying to flash the latest JMA firmware on my JM6 tab
thanks again..
EDIT - Thank you all for explaining it:
For anyone else presented with the same issue; use the zipped JMA file in odin in the PDA box and the pit file located at the bottom of the samfirm page when flashing the latest JMA firmware.

Extract them yourself by opening the file with 7Zip or WinZip. They're just archives.
Also - Should be in the General section.

thanks for the tips. I just installed both winzip and 7zip and could not extract the factory.rfs file with either.....
im guessing I have to extract the factory.rfs file and zip as a tar file for odin right?

The file you download is a zip file. Unzip it. There should be a tar file in there, tar is an archive format (similar to the way zip is, only it's uncompressed), so use 7zip or other unarchiving software to untar the file. There will be all of the JMA files including the RFS images contained in the tar file.

I see, so i downloaded a ziped file from samfirmware with the JMA firmware, unziped it down and got the pit file but there were no tar files in there for me to use in odin under the PDA box.
when flashing JMA what file do i put in PDA box? i pressume thats the only file i will use besides the pit file given that i dont want to replace the modem (phone) file...
I'm sorry if this is not making any sense

Use the JMA file here on XDA. Extra JMA.tar. Select that file ALONE as PDA. No repartition, PIT, Phone or CSC. It'll update PDA, Phone and CSC automatically.
If it doesn't reboot on its own after flash is complete, reboot into recovery.
You should be upgrading to JMA from JM6.
If you still need to extract/unpackage RFS->
Reffer to my guide here
Cheers
I need this file because I deleted it on accident, now the icon in get more htc widgets wont show. On a side note why is it impossible to install the quick record widget.
the file i need is
icon_com.htc.rosiewidgets.quickrecord_1.60_110_0
Thanks in advance.
I don't have a stock from, but what you can do is download a stock from like fresh and just extract the file out of it on your computer. Its a zip file.

I can't find it in there, i tried an odexed and deodexed ROM, all i need is for a rooted user to copy it and post it here.
Ok so i was trying to root my SGS and got stuck in the first step.
It says after u download the zip u unzip and there is supposed to be a .tar file.
But after i unzipped mine was another zip so i unzipped that and there was some weird file called : zImage
Its not a tar file so says my computer. Is it supposed to be like that? Any help will be thanked.
So i tried rooting my phone and it didn't work, i am on gingerbread and have no experience about SGS but have some experience about android.
So after i failed my root i tried turning on the phone but this weird picture of a phone/yellow triangle/computer
And it won't let me turn on the phone fully, i can only go to download mode and nothing else. i have tried hard reset but not working.
Please help!

You have to flash a complete stock rom to get the phone to work

Start with settings in Windows file manager = show file extensions (like .tar .zip .txt .exe)
Depending on what program used to unzip, .zip and .tar might have same icons. Show file extension to see difference.

thats what i did and this is what happened.
do i have to flash to stock rom again or can i just root again and it will
boot?
The zimage file is contained in the .tar, but still you need to flash the .tar file...
.Tar files seem like zip files and can be extracted, so to solve the windows showing the file as zipped do as O-T said:

Then start ODIN with administrator privileges and use the .tar file (ONLY TAR FILES) as PHONE, do not choose any other file and certainly dont tick re-partition, after all are ready (and your phone is in download mode and recognized by ODIN) press start.
If you failed and see the screen with "Phone/YellowTriangle/Computer" do not worry, just pull out the phone battery, leave it with battery off for 30 secs, put the battery back in, get your phone to download mode (guess you are putting your phone to download mode before flashing, right?) and try again using the instructions that you have read in all those posts!

About your question: Exactly. Flashing original kernel will remove root!

No! You have the wrong file if unzipping it doesn't give you an md5
No! You have the wrong file if unzipping it doesn't give you an md5.
Go get the right file. When you unzip it it will have the md5. Flash it through odin as a PDA.
Then you'll be all good.

im ODIN-ing back to UCUAMDB for now, DL'ing on this connection is painfully slow, like 4 hrs per ROM.
thanks; figured it wasnt right.
Will anyone please give me a working link for an ORIGINAL PIT file please? Or maybe upload yours right here? Please!!! Please don't keep moving along if you have this PIT file. I jerked my phone, and I need to re-partition.

I've got the pit file on my computer at home and will upload it to a Dropbox link for you when I get home in a couple of hours unless someone gets it to you quicker.
@Sleepycloud
Good news. I discovered that XDA Recognized Contributor/Developer hsbadr has a copy of the pit file in his Downloads section on his Jasmine ROM thread. You can grab the pit file by clicking on this link: Verizon NOTE 3 pit file
Make sure to hit the thanks button for hsbadr for providing a copy for us.

Thank you so much! My phone is jacked up from not knowing who to use safe-strap properly. I hate verizon bootloaders. I can't believe as old as this device is that nobody has cracked that open yet. Thank you again!
