Hi guys.
When flashing firmware through odin, sometimes there are 3 files to be flashed, and in certain cases only one (pda). Why is that?? I flashed 2.3.4 android using odin with only one .tar file, but now for 2.3.5 there are three files. I live in austria, and I flashed the "official" austrian version. Whats the difference between those versions? I am on austrian tmobile, and i wouldnt like to loose the network settings? Can someone clear this mystery for me, since I am really confused?
Thank you guys in advance!!

hi,
when you have one file, it means it has all been packaged into one and you flash it under the PDA section of odin,
when you have the 3 seperate files you put them into their individual sections in odin.
- Don't select Re-Partition!
hope this helps
Thank you for your reply!
It is definately helping. But, what does it mean the firmware that i flashed is for austria? They released 2.3.4 for many countries... Why does it matter? Whats the difference between this one and firmwares for other countries?

Official Austrian version is Android 2.3.4 and the XXKI3 for Poland is Android 2.3.5.
So what will happen if I flash the polish version? I am talking about firmwares in general, even the 2.3.4... Why did they separate it that way? Isnt it pretty much the same for all the countries?

dude,VERY IMPORTANT WARNING what "intratech" has given you.Do not select re-partition unless you are using a pit file.You are not so DO NOT tick this box or you will brick your phone.
Ya i figured that from all those different flashing guides... Thanks though... Do u maybe have an answer to my question about android version for different countries? Would it make any difference if I installed the polish 2.3.5 version on my austrian galaxy s2?

Not much .
Language and networks main difference .

So, is flashing the polish version going to mess up my internet over network? Is it going to delete my network settings?

Yes if you want just flash firmware without CSC or change CSC after .
Or look in that thread for a multi csc or Frankenstein rom to fit .

you don't need to wait it for that much of time.. as odin says pass after 5 minutes...
when all steps are completed and phones reboot to apply CSC update and then reboot to samsung bootanimation you can take off phone and wipe it through recovery to get it working..
waiting for odin to say pass == wasting time
Can someone provide link to latest android 4.04 full package having all modem csc pda bootand pit file
Doesn't exist

I saw that the 4.3 JB update is available for my phone/region. I would like to use Mobile Odin Pro to do the update, and add root in the process. Where can I download the OTA file for this update?
My phone details:
Android 4.1.2
Baseband: I9300XXELLA
Build number: JZO54K.I9300XXEMA2
Thank you
Stock roms are posted on sammobile .
I saw on sammobile the file is about 900mb while the OTA file is about 400mb. I was hoping to get the OTA one.

OTA is not usually posted .
I took out a premium subscription at sammobile to try and download the file faster, but it still shows 12 hours to complete
