[Q] Noob Questions

Hi Guys
Quick noob question
When you flash a single file using odin (for example the official XWKE7 in the rom flash guide), and you put this file in the PDA section, does this update the MODEM and CSC as well on the phone?
why there is one ROM file not 3 files to be put in the PDA, MODEM, and CSC sections of Odin
Thanks

There are some ROMs (like those stock ones) that have everything contained within the one file.

what about re-partition and pit file, i have read in the guide that they should not be used
why is that ? what is the function of the pit file and when should we choose to re-partition?

Flashing with 4 files , KF1 from Samfirmware

So the package contains 4 files and one of them is new to me, has user_low_ship, how do I proceed to flash it like this ?
EDIT:
NVM found a guide.

before you flash a thing, rather ask this in intratechs software thread. He seems to be the expert when it comes to 'stock' roms.

Odin flash help

Hi guys.
Here's a little update what i've done with my phone.
Last night i have flashed ICS KP8 through ODIN.
I have reverted to GB this morning 2.3.5 and now i want to flash my stock firmware 2.3.4 I9100XWKI4 (TWO).
I have downloaded the desired ROM (I9100XWKI4_I9100XXKI1_I9100OXFKE1_HOME.tar.md5) from SAMMMOBILE but when i extracted it it only contains 1 file of size 539MB.
So...this is my question...where am i supposed to put that file in ODIN and do i need something else or just this file?
Tnx in advance
Follow instructions from the firmware provider makes sense .
No idea whats in the file from another forum .
Usual is to flash tar via PDA .

Maybe it's a one part .tar file? (Just to put in PDA)
Pls write the name of file here.
But to get sure, download the firmware, u want, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Flash like instruction says and all should be fine
PS: If u want to be sure what's on with downloaded file, pls complete name...
CHEERS
Tar.md5 "one big file" roms just go in the PDA slot and Odin will work it out.
The md5 bit just means that Odin will do a checksum to make sure the file isn't corrupt, so no need to extract it.
Also make sure you flash the GB bootloaders first, available in the thread linked above

Yes you can do this using dsixda's kitchen. Get the ROM you want and add the CSC and modem and then build the ROM. I have done this to use here.

You can flash the modem in recovery but the CSC is part of the ROM.
