See items 2 and 3 of my signature on from where and how to flash a stock rom with Odin mate All items are in 1 .tar file you need to place in PDA.
If your phone is booting correctly than you don't need to flash again. Odin has builded in security mechanism which analyzing flashing content in case of bootloader and pda. That's why you can flash almost everything by placing it in pda section. But in case of bootloader you can put it as bootloader or pda. It doesn't matter.
Csc and modem sections are more sensitive for improper content.
As I said, if your phone is booting with your current Rom and cf rooted kernel than live it as is. Everything is ok.

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

Also wat happens when u do click repartition??? Done it by accident once phones fine??
Wat does pit stand for!?

Is it necessary to root the phone before we can flash a different modem version or can we just conect it and flash via ODIN?
I've searched around for this, but couldn't find any clear answer. The posts on moden flashing says "use ODIN" but doesn't indicate wether rooting is needed or not.
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
rooting is not needed when flashing with odin.
You need to be rooted in order to use CWM.
@Cosmic Blue : Thanks for the clarification
In odin, I just need to select the required modem file against the Phone section and then flash, right?

read it like 10 times before flashing..otherwise another "I bricked my phone" will start
N yes in ODIN select the file in PDA section and flash.
"Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin "

Hi,
I just updated my GS2 via KIES to the latest firmware - I9100BVKL1
and managed to grab the archive KIES used to flash my phone.
This file is named I9100BVKL1_I9100OROKL1_I9100BVKL1_HOME.tar.md5, has 575mb and includes:
- boot.bin
- cache.img
- factoryfs.img
- hidden.img
- modem.bin
- param.lfs
- Sbl.bin
- zImage
After I root, can I use these to flash my phone back to stock if I ever need to send it to warranty?
Thanks.

I will reiterate: I want to root my phone so I can unblock the SIM Lock. This will increase the flash counter.
Will reflashing to the stock version reset the flash counter to 0? Or must I use the usb jig?

usually they should be in the ROM file (md5.tar) that you can download from sammobile.
At least when I flashed the latest ROM for my region via MobileOdin it showed all those components.

Never ever touch PIT and repartition..
Usually you don't need to flash multiple file firmware. You should flash it if you want to fully wipe your phone's system and data partitions from previous Rom junks (like branding). You also don't need separate bootloader because it's usually in .pda with Rom (primary and secondary bootloader files) and are flashed automatically.
U must be also absolutely sure what you are doing if you want to repartition with .pit file information. If there are no problems with your partition layout it's better to not touch this option because in case of some failure while flashing you could brick your shiny new phone.
There is not many 3 files firmware in net but you can find it if you do some search. It's also important to find one which corresponding with your region to have correct CSC settings.
Here you go 3 file firmware for XEO region:

Remember - do not use repartition with one file firmware. If you must perform repartition use 3 file firmware with correct .pit file (usually newest mx.pit). But even with 3 file firmware you don't need to check repartition option.

unless the zip package of the frimware has those files separately you have to flash only the single tar file. it has all the files integrated. the only change is its automatically flashed we dont need to select it manually

Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop.
Cheers!
Sorry but... what is the diference between "4 file" and "combo"?

The simplest way to explain 4 file is in Odin, there are 4 firmware slots. The "4 File .rar package" has the correct file for each slot in Odin to flash. Example, extract the .rar package you (might have) downloaded, and you will see 4 .tar files and the pit file. So the BL_xxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_HOME.tar file would go in the BL slot in Odin.
Combo is basically all of those files that would be in the 4 .tar archives put into one. If you choose to download this file, the .tar package must be flashed though the AP slot in Odin.
And the .PIT file would go under the PIT tab in Odin.
If you don't want to lose your data while flashing, you can do this:
-Don't use the pit file in Odin
--or--
-If you chose to download the 4 file firmware, don't flash the CSC file and don't use the pit file.
--or--
-if you chose to download the combo firmware, you can use 7zip (I recommend downloading it onto your pc if you don't have it already) to extract the archive and delete cache.img.ext4, then repack the remaining files (Except the pit file) into a new .tar archive.
Cheers!

Open Odin and look to the right of the window, you will see 4 buttons, named "BL" "AP" "CP" and "CSC"
Extract the respective 4 file firmware from the downloaded .rar package to your desktop or downloads folder and open the folder once completed.
From there, you can insert the 4 .tar files into Odin. Once in Odin, click on the BL slot and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted files. Once there, select the tar file with the letters BL at the very beginning, and vice versa.
Example: BL_G850AUCU1BOC6_G850AATT1BOC6_LRX22G_HOME.tar (which is the bootloader files for lollipop firmware) would go under the BL slot in Odin.
Screenshot: https://mega.nz/#!2pZlGboI!M5YA2RGn0ufZ_bdVIFg6AD3xIH3iHg00JrAgHoo0OP8
If you downloaded the combo (all in one) firmware package, extract everything in the .rar file and place the .tar package under the AP slot in Odin, and if you want to perform a clean reset, make sure the .PIT file is under the PIT tab then PIT slot in Odin and make sure that "NAND Erase All" and "Re-Partition" is checked under the 'Options' tab.

Try booting your phone into download mode then reflash the Lollipop bootloader in Odin (BL File goes under the BL slot for 4 file). If you are not wanting to wipe your data, and if you downloaded the 4 file firmware, you can simply reflash the lollipop bootloader files then afterwards go back into download mode then reflash the AP and CP file. The actual bootloader in the phone does allow the flashing of different firmware versions for the device so it sounds like a small bootloader issue.

The G850A Has a locked bootloader, therefore, cannot run TWRP or any custom kernel or recovery.
