Does anyone know where I can get the KA6 .tar file? I want to flash it using Odin3, instead of using a ROM.
Also, can I still use the 512 .pit file to flash it? Or is there a newer .pit?
Thanks

Does anyone have a CWM flashable stock image (JFD)?
I've searched for it and not found it.
Or is there a way to extract the rfs files in the ODIN image? I need some of the files from the stock ROM, but don't want to flash...
I would also greatly appreciate a .zip jfd file or even a functional odin tar and 512 pit file. Ive searched for hours and downloaded many different links from xda but never had any luck getting back to stock jfd or ji6. I usually just odin to eugenes 2.2 froyo and then flash new roms from there.

Here you go, everything you need to ODIN back to JFD. Check the bible for the latest version of ODIN.

I use the older odin. All that works for me. But it has never failed.

To flash back to stock odin is the way, you have to repartition. CWM is not good for downsizing.
Hey.
I have the files, .pit and .tar for true 2.1 stock and I always used to go back to that using ODIN.
Now that 2.2 is out, can I odin back to official 2.2?
If so, where can I find the .pit and .tar files?
Thank you
Odin to Stock official 2.2 files?
I've been looking for these too... Is there a link somewhere? Thanks.
you dont need the .pit but it is the same 512.pit you can get the .tar from the DEV section

there is also CWM flashable versions
Hey guys so I am interested in flashing the simply honey revolution ROM on my samsung vibrant. But I am stuck. The instructions call for you to flash via Odin with the 512 PIT file. But when I download the light version for first flash in the instructions I find a .tar file. How do I flash this rom? Thanks for your help!
I have the same question, since I am used to work on the EVO 4G but not this phone. Any help will be appreciated. I already flashed a gingerbread bootloader, but I still need to flash this ROM.
Put the tar file in the pda and pit in the pit section.
just use that file but open PDA selection. it will flash it. also make sure you odin a gingerbread boot loader first.
Ok, understanding a little bit more. Right know I have the zip and the tar file inside that one. I don't have any Pit file mentioned. Also in the instrutions doesn't say if the phone needs to be in download mode or whatever mode. Thanks for any other info.
It should be in download mode to use ODIN.
Okay let me see if I have this process correct. From the page I download this http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z from under the instructions coming from eclair/froyo. Inside I see the .tar file. (not a .pit file). In ODIN i put the .tar file under PDA and click start. Once that is done I can download the bootloader and flash that via ODIN. Is this correct?
yeh
or you could use rom manager to flash whichever package you want after odining the light version instead of flashing the bootloaders
dont do it
I just went through hell flashing that rom and even BRICKED my phone. (well semi-brick, none of the buttons worked) I made the same mistake as you. Dont use the Simply_Honey_3.8_LightOdin file, use the one that is named simply_ODIN_HEIM . The light odin is bull****. Didnt work for me. I dont even want to guess why...
Good Luck!
Remember to open the .zip and extract the .tar, zip's cant be flashed in odin
Hey guys,
I'm a total noob at a lot of this so I need some help. I've rooted my Sg2 and am now attempting to flash a kernel with CWM so that I can start checking out some of these ROMs. Problem is, whenever I download the kernel file, I see no .tar file for me to be able to flash via Odin. All the how-to videos show a .tar file available for flashing but any kernel I download from the forums, none seem to have the .tar file included in the zip. I only see is a META-INF and a zImage file which help me in no way. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A kernal is zImage, however unless I'm wrong you don't want to flash a non stock kernal using Odin. I thought this would increase flash counter. Unless it is mobile odin i believe. However you could try this sticky and hopefully it will help...

Thanks but no luck. That's just basically a way of flashing without your machine. You still need the correct file extension in order to flash. Tar is what I'm looking for. I'm not sure why this has become so difficult. I know that I must be doing something stupid. Any help anyone else?
codeworkx has a kernel, stock with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.3.2 that is a tar here.
The zedomax root CWM kernel, which you can download from this thread is also packaged as a tar for Odin.

Hi,
I am currenly on Bionix V5 ROM and would like to odin JFD, do I have to disable voodo? if so how?
Thx.
Not really. Odin will reset everything to stock. Just put your phone in download mode and flash correct files.
Thx.
Do you know where can I find the correct files for KB5? Also, do I have to flash JFD first and only then KB5?
thx.
