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 .

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 .

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

Hi all. In an effort to search for the original SGH-T959 bootloaders that one can flash after flashing any of lidroid's ROMs, I came across the bootloaders. One problem, however. They came in a .RAR file. It contained 2 files: boot.bin and sbl.bin. I trust that they are correct and flashable. However, I need to flash it via ODIN. Therefore I un-RARed the file and then re-compressed it, but as a .TAR file this time around.
The .TAR file I created contains ONLY 2 files.
boot.bin
sbl.bin
My question is: am I missing anything in the .TAR or can I just go ahead and flash the .TAR to my Vibrant via ODIN?
EDIT: Also, I flash this in the BOOTLOADER section of ODIN, right? I know it sounds stupid, but I've heard of bootloaders being flashed in the PDA section of ODIN.
Hi everyone, i'v a custom ROM on my SGS2 i would change my baseband 'cause i'm having some issue. I would install H3G bb (that's my operator) and i'v the official H3G ROM with NEKD5 baseband, i'v extracted the "modem.bin" but i'f a create a .tar from this file odin can't flash it... How can i create a flashable .tar from this modem.bin? Thanks everyone!
In Odin, you select your modem.bin into phone select area file and you start the flay processing... No need to create a tar file.

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?

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?
Hi, I have a question about the files being used to flash my Samsung Galaxy S2 via Odin.
I have already seen this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&highlight=firmware
I am trying to flash the PDA, Phone and CSC back all to normal stock. I have downloaded a firmware and I only have one file with a .dll file. The one file I have is named "I9100BOKK1_I9100TMUKK1_I9100BOKJ1_HOME.tar.md5" I have extracted the files from here also and it contains boot.bin, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, param.lfs, Sbl.bin and zImage.
How with these files and Odin do I flash all three parts. I can't see how to use these files on the above link with instructions for flashing and rooting.
Thank You

Ok ignore post that I just put it in the PDA section and it does the CSC and Phone for you.
