extract the tar files with winrar or something, the modem.bin will be the file you're looking for.

I take the tar file of the full rom, open it in 7zip, and remove everything except modem.bin, and it's flashable via Odin.

and in Odin do we select PDA and flash it ?
This may be a dumb question, and I've looked around the forums, but can't find an answer.
I've downloaded KC1 for my Galaxy S, and the file I downloaded is I9000UGKC1_homebinary.tar
I looked inside the tar file and there is cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs, etc
How do I flash these with Odin?
Thanks
what is the file used for? is it a modem? kernel ?
Well, I downloaded the firmware file for KC1 for the i9000 from samfirmware.com
I was wondering how to upgrade my phone to that, but it only had the one TAR file (and not the PHONE, PDA and MODEM files that other firmwares have).
So i'm not sure how I'm suppose to flash it.
oh!
well you place the file in the PDA tab in odin, and flash away (while repartition is UNCHECKED)
As per the instructions on Samfirmware in regard to flashing with odin .

Thank You! I got stuck on that single file as well.
i am looking for completely stock .tar files to flash through odin
i bricked my tablets and i need to revert to stock. I have the stock recovery file but i can't find a stock rom or a .pit file
You can find it here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
and make sure you got the correct stock rom for your tab version.
Installation guide is there too.
also when using odin, make sure KIES is not running on tray
(for windows: [ctrl + alt + del] > Processes tab > terminate KiesTrayAgent.exe)
it doesn't have the US model listed
It doesn't really matter,As long as it has english language.
Because you're only going to use it to get the recovery back working to flash another rom.
Just grab the latest firmware for the 8.9 wifi only model, P7310XWKI2
one last question? any idea where i can get the .pit file?
There isn't a need in using .pit file.
and i don't know where to get it.
The *.tar.md5 file you found after unzipping it will just do.
load is to the PDA in odin3.

There is a thread for that. Redownload your desired firmware.
I have recently been trying the Franco Kernel and the CF Kernel on ICS. I have had a Wifi issues with both of these, and I wanted to flash back my LQ2 stock kernel (zImage). I found this very difficult to do. I eventually used ChainFire's script, and replaced his kernel with the stock one, and flashed it from the PC.
My question is: I could have sworn that I have previously used mobile odin to flash a zImage, but now when I try it doesn't see any of the zip files, or zImages files on my card? is this correct, or should it be able to flash zImage files?
If I can't use Mobile Odin, is there an alternative for flashing zImage files that I can download from Google Play?

Flash the LQ2 .tar file instead of the zImage with Mobile Odin. So extract the downloaded .rar file once and it becomes a .tar file and put it on your sd card. mobile Odin doesn`t flash zImage, cwm manager does flash it.
If I do that won't it overwrite the whole rom. I only want the kernel. I would have to reinstall all my apps and settings. It takes me hours to get everything back the way it was.

It will flash only the kernel, also choose wipe cache when flashing. You will loose nothing.
If you want to flash stock kernel only then you can use PC Odin too.(you shud have kernel in .tar), you need to place kernel .tar file for selecting PDA in Odin.
Mobile odin can flash zImage file.
none of above said erase data.

Can we flash a rooted kernel in PC Odin in a non rooted device? Is there a rooted kernel in tar format?
it will raise flash counter. look to speedmod kernel for ics, having tar. counter you can reset with triangleaway
i hav never used any time, read properly before flashing.

Yes you can, i would take CF Root wich has root, busybox and cwm recovery. But it will increase the flash counter and shows a yellow triangle. With this method however no flash counter/triangle http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360.

So, that's the catch-the triangle. I would supposed Dr. Ketan's procedure is also applicable to rooting GB?
I've been using initial CF root flasher

Dr Ketan, I have a couple of questions about what you have said which I would be really grateful if you would clarify:
In the stock rom, when I drill into the .tar file I have a number of files e.g. cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, and the zImage. Both Odin and Mobile Odin can only see the .tar file (which contains everything). If I extract the zImage, Odin and Mobile Odin cannot see it as an individual file, it has to be bundled up with the others in the .tar file.
If I use Odin to flash that file, it is the whole Rom, so won't it wipe my phone like a factory re-set?
When I try to use mobile Odin, you say I can flash a zImage file, but even though I have one on the SD card, it cannot see them. Mobile Odin just shows me all folders, and I cannot select an individual zImage file, or any zip files? I guess it can only see whole .tar files and not individual files?
Can you please advise me?
ok
now pc odin
here you can flash with tar only.
pc odin gives you option to flash separate modem and csc but not kernel if you select full Rom file.
but if you have kerenl file in tar file then you can flash it using pda in odin to flash kernel separately.
now in mobile odin.
you can flash kernel modem or csc individually with raw file or tar or zip.
dont know why you are getting error, otherwise it gives you option to glash zimage too.
just to add, in mobile odin you have not to select open file option but you hav to select kernel tab
then point it to zimage file.

Thank you my friend. your advice has really helped me. My issue in Mobile Odin was caused because I had renamed the zImage file to StockzImage (because I had some custom ones there with different names in the same directory. Mobile Odin was specifically looking for a file with the name zImage

what do you get if you unzip the file?
If you get a .tar file, just put it in the PDA in odin and start.
Or maybe look for another .zip or .tar file of the JW4 kernel.

Dear
When you download a kernel it's in 2 type one type is for flash with cwm and once for Odin if be zip is for cwm if be in tar extension is for Odin for Odin you should download tar and don't extract it. Just put it in pda section and finish
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
If the kernel is a zip file I would use SGS Kernel flasher app (on Google Play).
It backs up your current kernel before flashing.
if it is tar flash with odin.
