[Q] anyone mind extracting the rfs files from JMA firmware?

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

its all apk and odex files; gonna cwm flash it and see if that works. trying to go from stock UCUAMDB to UCUAMDL so i can then wipe/flash. getting 'unauthorized software detected on your phone' error. thanks ATT!

I think that's related to Knox. Got to rename or delete the Knox apk in System/app.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

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.

can someone please upload stock kernel for g900h xxu1ang3

I need stock kernel because the one in my rom use a lot of battery

You can download the firmware and extract the kernel yourself.

I have downloaded the firmware i just dont know how to extract kernel from tar.md5 and it would be convenient if someone can upload it

Rename tar.md5 file to the tar file, extract it with the WinRar and get the boot.img file.

muniz stock partitions file missing from filehost, anyone have it?

Anyone have the I337_OC3_Stock_Paritions.tar.md5 file? I need that file for Odin. All I keep finding are the .zip files and the link provided in the ROM [GOLDENEYE] pages doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm stuck until I get that file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yup

These are the files that would be contained in the .tar.md5 file. This doesn't do me any good.
