Hi,
I have an optus sgs2. Using this thread
[ROM + Guide]Official i9100 KDD/KE1/KE2/KE7 download for Odin Flash and Root Guide.
I flashed the insecure ke2 kernel, then the ke7 rom, then the ke7 root. No probs.
i want to get rid of the yellow triangle. i know chainfires post says they are all self extracting exe's but when i download the Ke7 stock kernel it downloads as a zip file. I cant extract it. if i rename it to an exe and double click it says out of memory.
Just to note, the other stuff in the thread i downloaded sucessfully and extracted using winrar. For this i have tried winrar, 7zip, double clicking, both 32 and 64 bit versions of windows but no luck.
I am probably stupid and doing something wrong........
any help appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the reply
anyway that is the original one i tried when i use winrar v3.71 i get the message
! D:\Samsung\GalaxyS2\I9100XWKE7_Kernel.zip: Unknown method in I9100XWKE7_Kernel.tar
! D:\Samsung\GalaxyS2\I9100XWKE7_Kernel.zip: No files to extract
and it just wont extract...
Use 7Zip to extract the package.
Exactly what I was going to say, 7zip just flat seems to work whatever you throw at it and most used functions are available in the right click such as unzip here and so on.
All i can say is i just downloaded it and did as i said and it worked .
Corrupt download ????

Hi,
I am trying to update my samsung galaxy s2 with latest firmware available for india (XWKF3)
Firmware info
PDA:XWKF3
PHONE: XXKE7
CSC:KCLKF1
Build date: 09/06/2011
So this is what i did.
1 Downloaded odin3 v1.85
2 Downloaded GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKF3_I9100DDKE4_I9100ODDKF3
3 Downloaded CSC_INU_I9100ODDKE2
My problem is odin is unable to find PDA - .tar file.
Am i missing something ? Please advice...
One do the instructions tell you to unzip the file GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKF3_I9100DDKE4_I9100ODDKF3
Or do they tell you to put it directly as a tar file to ODIN pda as per all the instructions .Or are they different instructions to that .

Not sure. I followed the following instructions. If I am wrong can u correct me please... Thanks
Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from above and extract the .tar file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Extract tar file means you should have a full tar file in tar format .
A try the full file you downloaded .
B that fails unzip the original file to a tar file do not then unzip the tar file .
jje
Don't unzip the tar file. The file browser is expecting to find something of that file type.
Your post shows you have unzipped the tar file .
jje
Thanks. I still have few more questions.
1 Will the Phone field be blank without any file ?
2 Can include indian csc file CSC_INU_I9100ODDKE2 aswell or is that not required ?

Buddy i already told that 7zip just puts in tar format but do not convert the files in the tar components(Mdem,etc)
You might explain what you are trying to achieve by putting a zip into a tar .
Are you trying to make a CWM zip file flash-able via Odin .
jje
Can it be done ?
Lol, that sounds cool. Anyway, I think I'll keep flashing tars with odin and zips with CWM because what you sugest scares the **** out of me. Anyway I'll keep reading this thread out of curiosity.
so your trying to make an update.zip file into an odin.tar file to flash in pda?
I think he ment if you download (for example) new clockwork recovery version in zip format (ment for flashing thru phone recovery) can it be transformed into .tar (ment for flashing thru odin) !
I would also like to know this.

Tar To Zip
I dont know why you are trying to flash a zip via odin by converting it CWM works just fine if u have the latest kernel. I did find some old cwm kernels were not seeing zip files on my sd card make sure you have the latest. From here K13 or k14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 bottom of the page worked for me.
im curious about this, ever since i rooted and flashed my kernel, i cant properly install ANY CWM roms. on aborts drring verification. I was consierding repacking the ZIP and flashing with ODIN.... just annoying i cant flash any of my roms
Thats usual if CWM is 3e not 4e .
jje
I would also like to know if its possible to repack cwm .zip file into ODIN .tar?? Why? I dont want to have root. I tried with yaffey-v0.2 but for now, no luck.
Only problem is to make a working system.img. Tar package can be done with commands in cygwin or in Samsung tool kit...
Help anybody??

You are in the S2 Forum here. Which version of odin and which FW are you trying to flash? Whats the error message you get?
Yes it can be done and it's pretty easy to do. Google is you're friend. I've converted devil recovery and also modems and all work fine with odin.
Hi all,
I just downloaded this stock ROM from SamFirmware.com as it was a KG6 build and I wanted to give it a shot. When I went to unzip the ROM, it contained 5 files. I know which files go where in Odin when there are 4 files but this one has got me confused. The confusing part for me (being a noob) is the fact that there is a Kernel and a Code file...where do these 2 files go under? They both can't possibly be selected under the PDA section so is one a boot loader file??? I have taken a screencap of the zip file contents so that hopefully someone can explain where the 2 particular files go in Odin.
Thanks all.
How about following the instructions first .
Who told you to unzip it ???

Well he would need to unzip the archive if he wants to use the included tarballs to flash his device.
@OP: When you open Odin 1.85 just put the following in the slots as below:
PDA: Code_I9100XXKG6.......
Phone: Modem_I9100XXKG6.......
CSC: GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG6.....
Ignore the rest of the files. Don't need to use .pit file and make sure you don't tick repartition. I would encourage you to read up on using Odin first if you don't know what you're doing before attempting to flash.
Thanks Intratech..I am familiar with Odin as I have flashed my device successfully many times. Just never encountered both the Kernel and Code in the same zip so wasn't too sure whether I should use both or just one.
just curious but what is the actual difference between the two??
also, pit file is used to reset the path no?? as in wipe the lot except cutom binary hits??
cheers
col
Also wat happens when u do click repartition??? Done it by accident once phones fine??
Wat does pit stand for!?
Partition info tree? Lol who knows?

A few month's ago I flashed an official android 2.3.6 rom onto my phone. I'm not a developer but had no problems flashing the new rom onto my phone with a tutorial. However, I want to flash back the branded firmware (BELL-PDA: UGKG2 Phone: UGKG2 CSC: BMCKG2) which I have already downloaded. When I read intratech's post on how to flash, the file extensions for the branded rom files do not end in .tar or .md5. The files I have through extraction are:
cache.img
factoryfys.img
modem.bin
zimage
Hence, I am unable to flash through Odin due to these file extensions. What exactly do I need to do?

Instructions say do not unzip the single downloaded file past the tar file to the internal components .
jje
In that case it's a .exe file.
In that case it's a .exe file.
Edit: Ok, what I was doing was extracting the file by right clicking. Now I indeed have a .tar file, which I have done the same with for the Kernal file I also downloaded from intratech's list. However, don't I need 3 files to complete the flash with Odin?
Where is it from this file their should be instructions .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
first page from the mans instructions .

1. I have changed the format with which I compress the archives. They are now .7z self-extracting files that have .exe at the end. This is because this compresses the files more and so makes for faster upload and downloading and also makes it easier for you to extract the package. Just double click and it will extract the .tar package for you without the need to use any program to unpack.
The instructions do not mention three files .
Its one file with all files inside....
Just flash the .tar in pda and everithing will OK...
cache.img - factoryfys.img---->Its your bell PDA UGKG2
modem.bin--->Its your Phone UGKG2
zimage--->Its your kernel
cheers
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Had this same problem but i just removed the md5 extension and voila. Tar file ready to be flashed
Also make sure you unzip it with 7zip

If you dont know what thats for, then i suggest you dont play around with it :S
where do i put the stock firmware
i just downloaded all four this morning and i only used the stock firmware in PDA in odin
do i still have to flash the other 3?
thx
Or just the firmware is ok?
You're asking us about flashing instructions for firmware you downloaded from another site. How bout going to that site & following their instructions for flashing same ?
no i already flashed the stock firmware, and i dont c any problems within a day.
just wonder what are the other 3 downloads use for and do i still have to flash them?

Stock firmware should be the full file with PDA Modem and CSC
No mention of 3 files in the instructions there .
How to install the latest firmware on your phone. This will also get rid of Bell's bloatware:
1) Make sure you have working drivers installed on your computer. If you do not, the easiest way is to download Kies and it will install it for you.
2) Install Odin 1.85 on your computer (attached at the bottom of this post)
3) Pick any firmware version you would like to flash from Intratech's thread linked here. The firmware is arranged from oldest to newest so the last ones are obviously going to be the newest.
4) Start Odin in "administrator" mode and make sure Kies is not running in the background. Use task manager to check
5) Place your downloaded firmware .tar or .md5 file into the PDA section in Odin. Make sure re-partition is not selected. Auto reboot and reset time should be selected by default.
The stock rom link says
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update
thx
yea it didnt mention about the other 3 packages in that post
but i think as long as i flashed the stock one, i should be fine and dont need to care the others right?
