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
Can anybody provide me with the original sysytemui file found in system/apps as I have replaced with the modified without the backup and it is continuosly showing the message that sysui has stopped
Plz
If nobody provides the single systemui.apk you can try to extract it from original firmware by using [WINDOWS][TOOL]Android ICS JB EXT4 ImageFile Unpacker!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921399
Make a copy from your extracted i9500MEA firmware and rename .tar.md5 into zip.
Then extract system.img.ext4 an unpack with above-mentioned tool.

Thanks but it would be so easy if somebody kind enough to provide me with the default file
Thanks downloaded the whole new firmware
Anyone know how to pull out Boot.img and baseband from tar.md5 with cygwin and flash ir in odin. Thanks in advanced.
You don't need Cygwin to extract files. Rename the .tar.md5 file to .tar and open with WinRAR or 7-Zip. From there, extract the files you need.

why you do not try with a program to open tar files?
http://en.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+open+tar+files
the zip file you can extract it, right?
we are planning to make our first custom rom. i need someone that can convert a tar file to zip. so i can edit the sytem file.
i need it for SM-G935F
Winzip can extract the tar after which you can create a zip of the extracted files
