So this may be a stupid question but I'm currently trying to go back to stock and I thought I might just flash the firmware with odin. But no firmware I downloaded contained a cp file, only ap, bl and crc/crc_home. The only reasonable answer I can think of is that the Tab S3 does not need a cp file but it does have a modem, doesn't it? I'm quite confused.

Hi, im new to Galaxy Tab 10.1
Yesterday I made a mistake and flashed a wrong kernel so I lost my 3G on my tab.
Now i have downloaded the european stock ROM from www.samfirmware.com for my tab and I don't know how to flash that files. In the downloaded zip file is a password protected tar file and in this there are some *.img files.
My problem is, with Odin i can't flash *.img files... How do i flash the stock ROM to my tab?
Thanks for your support.

There is a very good guide and all the files you need located here: http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18
Hope this helps.
Thanks man, you saved my life
You must just load Odin with default settings an load the .tar file on the PDA button. Then start flashing and everything is going right...
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..
Hi there,
Was wondering on how could I backup my csc and modem file before rooting just in case something happens.
something like tar files so that odin could flash it back.
Not an expert, but rooting should not change that (OK READ UP A BIT MORE... You don't have to ROOT before you will be able to flash custom ROM - just use ODIN to flash new ones).
Files posted here. It it does not work, just flash back your "original" version:

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.

usually it will be flashed automatically, ==>> guide
Dont flash it that way unless you want to have a very fancy door stopper..flash the full md5.tar file as PDA..
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

I'm trying to revert my I9100M back to stock, however, Im not sure where I find the stock ics kernel for bell. I downloaded the bell firmware from sammobile, however i want to have everything correct before i do flash it.
With the bell firmware that you get from sam mobile, where do you find the PDA/PHONE/CSC files? and also, when i do find all three correct ones, where do i go to flash the kernel to the corresponding one? I don't want to brick my phone!
what format was it downloaded. if it is tar format, use odin and put it in pda section, it is an all in one file with everything you need bundled together.
if it is in zip format use cwm to flash.
if it is in another format, extract thyebfiles and then use either odin cwm to flash depending on the file ending.
