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.

The modem is in a tar.md5 file. How do I extract that? The other files when extracted end up as img. How do I look inside for content?

Already tried that. Doesn't want to open.
Going through gnu tar gives this error:
$ tar -xf MODEM_I9020XXJK1.tar.md5
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: A lone zero block at 24628
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
What next?
P.S. - gnu tar actually extracted the radio.img file despite the error. I am still trying to get inside the img files.

That would be because your file is still called "MODEM_I9020XXJK1.tar.md5" rename the file and remove the .md5 at the end.
i just fastboot flashed the boot.img and my nexus s won't boot now. you have all been warned with those leaked files!

Forgive asking the obvious, but did you check the md5 match on the download? Is the hash even available?

what did we even have to compare it to? those were the only files "leaked". supercurio couldn't get the kernel to boot as well.
WinRAR gives an error that the archive is corrupt when trying to extract the radio.img.

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

What am I missing? Odin can read tar.md5 files. I was of the understanding that these are tar files that have had the md5 checksum rolled into them, and that Odin will do a hash check on the file first, which should be safer. Will Odin still do the hash check if the file is just renamed, or will it ignore the checksum? It seems to me it would be better to make sure the instructions tell them to use the tar.md5 file in the first place.

Dude, you're an idiot. All the .md5 after the .tar does is force Odin to do a MD5 check. An MD5 check determines if the file is the correct size and thus if any bits are missing. You do NOT want to flash a .tar if it's failing the MD5 test, so all removing the .md5 does is make flashing via Odin more dangerous.
In addition, if your phone is passing the MD5 test and is hanging afterwards, removing the .md5 extension will accomplish absolutely nothing.
IN SHORT: DO NOT FLASH WITHOUT THE MD5 CHECK. IF THE FILE IS CORRUPT IT WILL LIKELY SOFT BRICK (OR POSSIBLY PERMANENTLY BRICK) YOUR PHONE.
PS: OP, learn how not to quadruple-post.
Hey all,
I was wondering what the pit file does exactly. I know you need it for Odin, and use it with tar or md5 files, just not sure what it does.
The Tar & Md5 files are all the roms and modems in one file so I know what those are.
Thanks

The pit file tells Odin how to divide the partitions (for formating) and also where certain components go when flashing them individually.

Depends what you are using for a file. The .tar files already have the PIT as part of the file and ODIN automatically recognizes it. I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to put the PIT in with all the files (some do it this way).

Only if you are flashing a modem, etc. Generally not needed for a full system image but it couldn't hurt. Only 3-4 extra clicks to save yourself having to reflash.

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!

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.

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!
