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.

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.
I wanted to make an odin flashable tar of the stock param.lfs posted in Entropy's Return/Unbrick to stock thread. I made the tar file using terminal on my phone, as I have done in the past, but I did it wrong, and when I tested it, the flash failed and now my phone boots to the phone-!-pc screen.
I looked in the tar, and I had built it with the param.lfs in a directory named sdcard. Doh. So I tried to create the tar using 7zip on my Windows pc, and the resulting file is built correctly, but when I tried to flash it, the flash froze on param.lfs. So I don't know if the tar I made with 7zip is bad, or what.
Shouldn't it be possible to just tar the param.lfs file and then flash it in the PDA slot? I should be able to get the phone back by flashing just the param.lfs, shouldn't I? But now I don't know if I can make a working Odin flashable tar on Windows.
So if someone can post an odin flashable tar of Entropy's stock param.lfs, that would be helpful. Thanks.

I believe 7zip creates bogus tars in Windows.
Try cygwin - or use Heimdall to flash
I was pretty sure that 7zip made bad tar files. I also downloaded peazip, and found that it also makes bad tar files.
I found a good flashable I777 stock param.lfs in Connexion2005's Custom Boot Screen thread. I had never looked inside his attachment and had assumed it was a modified param.lfs. I used it to flash my phone back successfully.
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 .

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

I'm having the same problem.. and I feel pretty stupid because even after reading your post, I still can't figure it out..
Am hoping someone can help.
I've updated my Galaxy S II to ICS via Odin but wanted to erase my flash history so flashed an old bootloader .tar file, erased the flash history but now want to flash the ICS bootloader back.
I've extracted the sbl.bin file but cannot create a tar file that Odin recognises. Have tried using 7zip but Odin locks up when I try and flash it.
Any helping or guidence on how to create a flashable .tar file is appreciated.
are you on windows or Linux?

flash problem
I unpacked the file and i put it in to PDA field and flashed it, but it gives me an error "fails" . Previously i flashed it with 4 files including pit file it flashed sucessfully "pass". But this time i don't have an pit file. Is it causing this matter I means the pit file?
What should i do to re flash my phone through odin?
Thank you friends
.pit file is ONLY for repartition, NOT for normal flashing!

What is the extension of the packed and upacked files?
Packed - zip, rar; unpacked - tar, md5; unpacked firmware file - img, no extension.
It's happened to me before and it's been a dodgy download try downloading it again might help
