No, they cannot. You will have to use adb.

Mitchdickson/bigdig - my apologies. I tried to delete the thread prior to your responses but only seemed to be able to edit.

He needs fastboot, which is in the same folder as adb, but is NOT adb.
OP, you can extract the img files from those tar files using 7zip. Good luck.

Yeah, and I can tell you straight you are DUMB Buddy
Considering that the thread containing the links to the stock image had very explicit instructions, I also question OP's competence and the justification for the support any posters might provide. xda is quite cluttered already. It doesn't help to promote posting new threads to ask questions about matters for which there is not only a thread dedicated for that question, but where an answer already exists.
The post providing the search results should have already ended the debate: OP is in the wrong and this thread should be closed. To support the existence of this thread and to try to justify OP is harmful to the community drive for organization.
TL;DNR the stock image ROM thread is where this question should have been asked. It was in fact already answered in that thread, messing OP made two wrongs with one fell post.

Well now that was just the stupidest thing I have done in a while....I am sure you will agree.
I just used ODIN to roll back to what I thought was going to be GT1.0 US Retail WIFI but what I DID was apply the European .tar by accident.
My once P7510UEKF3 is now a GT-P7500XXKFF. It's a locked tab and CWR is now gone. ODIN seems to be connecting.
....any chance for recovery or did I just loose it???
Two things
1) check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 thread to get the ODIN version of CWM and flash it
2) This does not belong in the Dev section
1) Thank you.
2) Understood (now). Thank you, I will ensure question go to their proper location. My bad.

CWR = restored
Root = restored
Model & Build = restored
3.1 OTA ROM = restored
It was bootlooping after that so I just clear the cache/Dalvik and wipe.
Success! Thanks for that...after searching and weaving through way too many threads it ended up being a simple process I just wan't started correctly (aka the ODIN friendly CWR file.

I would strongly disagree, I do think this belongs in the Dev section; I sure as hell wouldn't post this in the general section, I would want the advice or input of other people who are actually hacking their tabs...i.e., developers. Really tired of development or hacking-related (appropriate) questions being moved to the "general question" section. That section is for just that - general or basic questions, like how do I adjust this setting or that setting, or how do you think this screen compares with that other model's screen, etc, etc. I can say that once one gets past the people who have to get the "this doesn't belong in this section" comments out of their system, there is always a MUCH greater chance of having the best parties see and offer advice on the given problem in this area than in the general section.

It actually belongs in the q&a section hence the q in the title. The link I gave in that post does exactly what your asking. There is instructions to do most things you want on the tablet, but the point is to ask questions in there so the OP can grow as the community grows. That link is also a sticky in the dev thread.

I am aware what the guide says, and apparently you've missed the point - I am quite simply stating that I disagree with the "rules" as they currently stand, which I have the right to do, and in my opinion I believe I have a logical point. I mean honestly answer this - if I have a question for specifically for advanced users (aka i.e., developers), where would I have a better chance of having it seen by such users: in the general section (which is frequented by more novice users) or in the developer section?

It's more a question for the Q&A forum.
Why don't you just download a rom based on your version (3.1, 3.2, etc), unzip it using 7zip, and get the files from there?

Dude, I asked why you didn't just download the rom, and get the files that way. Clearly, you were apt enough to Root your device, and Rom it. Clearly, you know how to use 7zip and such.
I stated to get the rom, unzip, and gather your stock sound files. But you classify me as a ....ahem.... troll?
I could have directed you to a link to iTunes. But I didn't. I gave you a way to get your stock sounds back.
As a rom "modder", I am thus truely offended. And I will think twice about lending assistance. And the "DEV" Thread, is for Mod's and DEV's. Read the XDA rules before spouting off about things.
Your request was really for Q&A, and not development related. So no need to be so harsh.
yeah, i have to agree.... this is really a q/a
i don't mind sharing the needed files..... but it's still a q/a
hey mate pls another mirror as MU got taken down...

The problem is that its a huge file...and most download servers seem to cap download speeds pretty low now a days :/ even if you have fast internet. I miss the days when an odin file/stock rom was only 200-300mbs...I used to have TONS of roms sitting on my phone

For future reference, you might want to actually start reading threads in their entirety and not just skimming over the OP. Especially when you are looking for help with issues. Often, people will post the information you need within the thread and not just in the OP.
Using the "search" function within individual threads works well also.

That's all good, but I told you "exactly" which thread to look in to find the file you needed. Basically, you responded back to me that the file was not there or was named wrong (though not in those exact words). In fact, the links to the file were there and were named and identified correctly. It's your choice to only take the time to look in the OP of a thread when help is offered, but others might want that file as well, and saying it isn't there when it was needed to be corrected. That is one reason I responded back to you.
I don't ask for help often either. I use the search function and look through threads for answers all of the time as well. However, when I do ask for help and someone responds, I always make sure to take extra time to research the help and advice they give me before responding that they are wrong. That was another reason for the response to your response.
Anyway, hopefully you got what you needed.
