Use winrar or alike to extract the zip file in the archive. Lite'ning rom must be flashed through odin. So you don't need to pre-root your phone or anything. Simply flash through odin. Lite'ning rom cannot be flashed by cwm according to the author.

i know i downloaded the file and winrar came up do you know what the file will end in once it's extracted or once i ''unrar'' it? i honestly would love help with this.
can anyone please help me with this?
any help would be appreciated.
According to the screenshots it'll end up as .tar.md5 once you extract the rar.
Probably .tar

I really wonder why you cant just download the file and unrar it. Its a bit too much to ask for someone to do that for you.

You flash the .tar via PDA. Don't open the .tar file.

i wouldnt expect it to be zip.tar more likely tar.zip if so
you can extract the zip file, input any passwords and it should leave you with a .tar file.
you then flash the .tar file using odin on the pda option, without changing any other options. It includes the files you talked about before but as an all in one package. So only the one file is required.
I think the problem is that your file is not from here so I really cannot say what the problem is. I don't use zip format and none of the firmware archives are password protected, just the kernel archives.
Hello,
I just rooted my phone today and flashed TurkbeyRom as my first rom and it is working fine.
I downloaded a couple of other roms from Omega ICS v3.2 thread but these don't show up in recovery to flash?
I have just cam from a rooted desire....maybe i am missing something here?
Appreciate any help.
hi. i could be wrong here but a think u need to extract the downloaded file first to then make it a zip file. download unzip or unrar from android market, then unzip the omega 3.2 to the same directory, then when u go to flash omega you should see it. hope that helps you.

unrar is the best one to use. a think its because its a .rar file you download and it needs to be .zip. this method worked for me. any more questions just ask and ill try help you

hey guys, i'm following this guide. http://www.techcredo.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s2-tutorial
When it says download the respective CF-root file, mine is KJ1, it should be a .tar file after extraction. All i get from the file after using winrar to extract is a file called "zfile". and it's not even a .tar file, just a .file file. Can anyone help me or attach the 4.4/5.0 KJ1 .tar file or send me the .tar file through my email or something? thanks alot
Flash the file that contained the zfile.

Thank you very much!
I have searched this forum an it seems like most of the links are old and no longer work
Does anyone have a ODIN flashable .tar file with root?
Thanks again

Just throw in a cwm recovery bin into the tar and then flash the superuser zip
