Now I got a stock firmware and its extension is *.tar.md5. Where do I have to put it in Odin?

A friend "helped" me over the phone to root my galaxy s2 for the first time. The info he referred me to was from androidflip . com - In there I had to flash the pit file and csc and modem - It also instructs to keep the repartition checked...I found all this contrary to instructions on xda...
Anyway,
Since then I have discovered on this forum/site that I didnt need to do it this way. Also I am having trouble flashing ANY ROM - The only success I have had is with Omega v3.0 but other than that I find myself flashing and reflashing because I am stuck on the screen with the yellow triangle.
I need help trying to get my phone back to how it was before I started all this and then follow instructions from this reputable source and maybe then I might have some luck flashing my phone...
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone, beginning with you that are not English but Italian.
I have a samsung i9000 galaxy s and my friend a samsung i9100 galaxy s updated to version 4.0.3, the problem is: He wants to go back to version 2.3.6 Odin gingerbread but I have to file my i9000 and i9000 I controlled and I'm looking for the following files: Root - Odin - and the rom file from 3 to do the flash with odin LPX can give me the link? Thank you.:laugh:

Find any firmware for the i9100 you need at www.sammobile.com, or through the CheckFUS downloader.
Not sure what the fact you have an i9000 has to do with this at all, though...
and with regard to odin and the root?
You want Odin ? Google it.
So far as root is concerned, CFRoot is easiest but do not rush it. Read the first page of that thread carefully, particularly the bit in bold red that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'.
If you read it, then come back to this thread & ask "Which kernel do I use ?", that tells me you haven't read the CFRoot thread carefully & you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone/you're at risk of bricking it.
If you do read that thread carefully and follow the 10-12 steps to the letter, rooting your phone is simple & takes a few minutes. There's nothing complicated about it if you can read/follow instructions.
Hi
Til recently i had Samsung Omnia 2 and i know a lot about Windows 6.xx
but i purchased Samsung S2 and now i want to install custom rom ( Tweaky ROM ICS 2.0.1 by coldflid
to be precise)
I have couple questions.
Flashing with Odin is identical as flashing WinMo with OCTANS Downloader so that is clear
But how to flash with zip firmware (i dont have md5 and tar files but only Zip archive in which is packed OS
Do i need to "Root" with CF-root file and Odin ? and if i need to do that which CF-Root i must pick up cause there is lot of different versions
PS.
Sorry for bad English and thank you in advance
Before you do anything with your phone, read the Stickies. Everything you need to know is in those threads. You seem as though you're trying to take shortcuts, taking shortcuts leads to broken phones.
Go read the rules, then come back. This entire thread is wtfbbq.
Mods can we please close. I have posted in the wrong sub forum.

Hey guys,
I've been doing some reading and trying to work out the best way to dump a copy of my CSC so that if I flash in a new custom rom from another country that has JB that I can then load in my original CSC to get the settings back.
I've seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106502
But one of the first things it says to look for CSCFiles.txt doesn't exist on my S3.
Is there a better method for backing this up? Additionally would like to backup my modem just to be 100% sure so ran through another thread to backup the modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705650) but the backup image came out significantly larger than the other modem files I have downloaded and the MD5 doesn't match what is supposedly the same version modem.
And one more question, I found some time ago a really good thread explaining the firmware versions as there is B firmware and C if I recall correctly and the relation of these to the modems and why flashing the wrong one can have issues. I haven't been able to locate that thread again to bookmark it, if anyone can point me in the direction of this it'd be awesome.

but you yourself knows that this is not the right place for Galaxy SIII.
Goto Galaxy SIII forum and ask them this question. Simple

Crap replied in the wrong forum. Apologies.
I am new to unlocking and flashing ROMs on Mobiles. I did my research and when I was ready I unlocked my phon and then I flashed the firmware. I used Odin 3.07 and loaded the stock firmware file into the PDA section and hit start, waited and it passed. My Firmware was:
PDA:L12 / PHONE:L12 / CSC:LE1(O2I) and when I flashed the firmware( S5830iXXMD1_S5830iBTUMD1_S5830iXXMD1_HOME.tar.md5) it ended up as:
PDA:MD1 / PHONE:L12 / CSC:MD1(O2I).
As you can see it did not alter the PHONE part of the installed firmware and the O2I I thought would have changed to BTU. The phone was however unbranded. Later I flashed it with a newer stock firmware and a similar thing happened, the PHONE part was not changed only the PDA and CSC.
Is this normal or am I missing something. Should I be using a different version of Odin to flash the 3 individual parts of the FW I got using Cygwin/splitfus2 or can I stll use ver 3.07 to apply the 3 individual parts.

Not really, you could have answered the question in the time it took you to post that but then maybe you don't know the answer.

You do know that Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i have different hardware. Hence the different device thread. I could suggest you an answer for sure. But I will not be liable if that solution bricks your phone. Are you up for it? And you could have posted this question in the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i Q/A section by the time you replied to my answer. Then again maybe you don't understand my answer.
