I have downloaded Vodafone ICS for my I9100T, but it is in .tar.md5 format, I have no idea what to do. Do I use Odin as well and how?

HELP! Flashed wrong kernel?

Good afternoon XDA'ers!
I recently broke my phone and had a new one just sent to me now on insurance.
First thing i wanted to do was root it so u i could use titanium to do a restore from my old device.
Unfortunetly i was a little bit stupid in that i rushed things and think i may have used the wrong kernal/bootloader in Odin.
My phone rebooted and sits at the Samsung Galaxy S II loading screen with the yellow triangle.
I am able to get back into download mode, but not sure what to do from here?
Is there anyway to fix this? If so how?
Just flash right kernel/firmware

What have you flashed via Odin?
You could try to reflash from Odin the right kernel to see if it works.
This might help. Haven't read it all, though.

Flashed PDA using an Insecure XWKDD file i had from my previous SG2 root.
Also i don't know what Kernel to use now :-s
first, download this: http://hotfile.com/dl/136310155/64f8cc4/I9100XWKK5_I9100OXXKJ3.rar.html (pw: samfirmware.com)
start odin. get in the download mode and plug your phone.
Click on PDA and choose the "CODE_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file.
Click on Phone and choose the "MODEM_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file
Click on CSC and choose the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-KJ3.tar.md5" file.
Click on PIT and choose the "...pit" file.
after its done, the yellow triangle should be gone.
unplug the usb cable, shutdown your device, get in the download mode again.
http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip download this. unzip file and start ODIN click pda and select the tar file. then flash! now you are rooted w/o annoying yellow triangle! you can flash kernel whatever you want with darkyota

Extract stock kernel

Hello,
Ive flashed my SGS2 withe the latest stock ICS rom and rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5 to remove the triangle i want to flash the stock kernel but can't find it in the threads here.
Now I'm tryin to find out in wich file the stock Kernel is located. I've downloade the rom from Sammobile.
I've got 4 files:
GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALPH.tar.md5
I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXLPH_REV_02_CL1104396.tar.md5
I think its in I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 so i renamed it to .rar en extracted it and found a zImage file that is 7.99MB in size.
Is this correct and if it is how to flash it?
Thnx in advance
I posted the zImage below.
Yes it is. Flash with mobile Odin or one of the other flashing tools.
Oke glad i got it correct
Do i have to rename it when i want to flash it with Odin? Or do i have to wrapped in to a .zip or tar file?
I said mobile Odin, i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Anyway, if you're only wanting to remove the triangle, you should be able to just use TriangleAway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Oke clear, i use Odin Mobile because trangle away doesn't work with ICS
EDIT:
Flashed it with CWM it worked!!

My bad, i've tried it on Gingerbread and that did'nt work.
You're right it worked and counter is on 0, triangle was already gone.
I posted the zImage in the first post, maybe it will help some others.

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

I can flash it using Odin if it's a .tar file
I downloaded the latest recovery as .img file
Odin would not read it as I know
I used ''SGS3 International ToolKit v5.0'' to create flashable .tar file from the .img file.. but I got an error while flashing through Odin

I did that using 7-zip
compressed the .img file in .tar format, then flashed using Odin
thanks anyway
Does it really work with 7 zip ?

I tried using 7zip to create a tar out of my img file and tried to flash it via Odin, but Odin crashed every time I tried doing so. What where your steps? I'm trying to create a tar file from a cwm recovery.img
Cheers

Just flash the.img with mobile Odin
Got it somewhat randomly
I tried it again with several tar files (7zip, SGS III Toolbox, Mskip's provided tar file) but this time odin did not crash, it just did not do anything. Tried Odin3 1.85 then Odin3 3.07 but it wouldn't work, then i found this other Odin called "Odin3 0.07 for SGS III" and tried again with the file created with Toolbox and it worked! I then noticed the only difference in Settings with this other Odin was, that F. time-reset was ticked. Could that be the reason it worked ?
Cheers
So there's still no way of installing a recovery with fastboot.. ? Just making sure.
And from where do I get Odin?
edit: Well I guess I have my answer:
[...]>>Even for flashing the custom recovery like Clockworkmod recovery or TWRP recovery you will need this tool. androidlegend.com/odin-multi-downloader
can anyone c/d?
Just Download Rashr from the PS and flash CWM recovery.img with it and enjoy

Try using odin to flash this file. I used Odin 3.07 Unzip with 7Zip to a familair location. put the tar file in PDA slot and flash with your phone in ODIN Mode. Hope this helps. seen was a old post but thought someone else might need it as well.
