hi guys, I'm trying to find the version of odin where you could load the pit and tar file. I have the DG version, but i want the one where you could load the pit file in there. can some one point me in the right direction.
If I am not mistaken, you can find it here (taken from the Cognition FAQs on ODIN):

(this is the full Odin, not the 1-click version)
Hello everyone,
I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to validate my proposed procedure for installing the XXJPU I9000 ROM (with BELL UGJK3 Modem) on my Captivate.
I've spent many many hours pouring over the Captivate and I9000 forums, but I still wanted to have someone check over my procedure before I take the plunge.
My proposed procedure is:
Use the ODIN one-click to revert back to JF6 stock for Captivate.
Download the XXJPU package and 512 PIT from samfirmware.com
Download the Bell UGJK3 modem from this thread on XDA
Dowload xcaliburinhand's 2.2.1 I9000 reoriented kernel on XDA from here. I will download the non-Voodoo version.
Extract the XXJPU package, and copy out the TAR for the XXJPU PDA.
Download ODIN 1.3.
Start ODIN.
Reference the tar file for the XXJPU PDA in the PDA section of ODIN.
Reference the 512 pit file in the PIT section of ODIN.
Reference the Bell UGJK3 Modem tar file in the PHONE section of ODIN.
Make sure Repartion checkbox is checked (because I have more than just the PDA file).
Connect Phone using USB cable.
Restart Phone in download mode (I use ADB to do this).
Click Start to flash the PDA, PIT, and PHONE (modem) to the phone.
Restart the phone. When phone is at Welcome screen disconnect phone from USB.
Close ODIN. Start ODIN.
Reference the I9000 2.2.1 reoriented kernel in the PDA section of ODIN.
Do not check repartition.
Connect the phone to the computer via USB.
Put the phone into download mode again (using ADB).
Click Start to flash the I9000 2.2.1 reoriented kernel.
When Phone reboots, everything should be working.
In addition to validating this procedure, I was curious about CSC files and if I also need to flash one of these.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

this is all overly complicated.
take the modem that you want, and the kernel that you want and drop them into the clockwork flashable rom (there are a couple of them already made up on the i9000 boards). they go in the updates directory in the zip file.
i wouldnt use the odin version of jpu...i would go with a doc's custom or darky's
Well I want to make a custom rom on ginger bread XWJVB, now I am done on my phone and it is the time to dump the files and make the odin files,
XWJVB has Sbl.bin and boot.bin inside the pda file shall I do the same? I mean many of my friends want to move from 2.2.1 to this rom perhaps they need the Sbl.bin and maybe boot.bin in this custom rom but I'm not sure about it as working with Sbl is a bit risky
there are dbdata.rfs and param.lfs as well how about this 2 files? shall I dump them and generate the rom? or just leave them?
there is a guide on development section by Darkyy which has not mentioned some of the files so I got a bit confused
As 2.3 is still beta i find the easy way is to use rom kitchen build a rom .
Flash base JVB/K via Odin
Flash JVB CF root via Odin
Build rom in Kitchen
Open rom and change boot animation add some ringtones and apps .
Zip and sign .
Install rom via CWM.
Install ASOP lockscreen via CWM
All working load old apps via Titanium .
jje
thanks for your guide but my purpose is to learn something, It might be easy to use rom kitchen but will not help me to explore more in android world
I have a rom that is just 1 file:
FROYO:
NEE.tar (PDA)
and another rom is 4 files:
Gingerbread:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
PDA-XWJVB.tar
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
I want to mix this 2 ROM and the result is something like this:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
NEE.tar <-- It's from FROYO
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
IS THAT WORK ?!
I risked and try that.
result => It's worked HoHaa

It worked because CSC files, Modems (Phone) and .pit settings are totally firmware agnostic. All three work with both Froyo and Gingerbread interchangeably.
The pit file simply tells Odin how to set up the partitions. The CSC is the localization info and the Modem is the radio. Both the CSC and the Modem can be flashed via Recovery after install, so there was no real need to flash them at the same time, but it didn't appear to hurt. Likely what happened is they just flashed over the modem and CSC installed by the PDA file.
However, you may want to check in About to confirm the JVK modem is what you ended up with.
Thanks for info @rschenck
I went to downgrade boot loader to FroYo (from Gingerbread). and after that I understood that boot.bin and slb.bin is in PDA file.
I have this files:
boot.bin, slb.bin from JPU ROM
PDA_XWJS8_NEE
CSC_EZbase-XXJV1
PHONE_EZbase-XXJVK
I flashed by ODIN 1.7 and heimdall but it's failed (softbreak)
after that i backed to XWJS8 and i couldn't downgrade boot loader
What's wrong here ?! Do boot.bin and sld.bin is different in different ROMS ? what i need to repartition?
I'm confused sorry

You are over complicating your life to an amazing degree...if all you need are the froyo bootloaders there are much easier ways.
Just search in Google for ezbase and android soul...on that website are excellent instructions for flashing ezbase via odin. From there you can flash anything you want.
Don't try to invent the wheel messing with bin files.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
COME ON!!!!
There is a lot of FROYO ROMs and I know that! but I want to try everythings!
and if you not in mood to help, please Don't disapointed me :\
1. anyway, I just want to know is different between boot.bin and slb.bin in all FroYo ROMs?
2.for repartition What's need in put in ODIN ? (just pda, or pda,csc,phone) ?
3.is boot.bin and sld.bin dangerous ?
Thanks again for respond.
Sorry guys for being a noob.
Story is my tab is rooted and flashed with the OVERCOME RC 2.0 GOLD rom from following alterbridge's thread procedures. Beautiful rom, no complaints.
However the screen has been acting up lately with the finger held down and screen shaking issue.
Ive searched and searched and have concluded its a hardware problem.
I need to flash back to stock for warranty.
For being the noob I am, I've downloaded the stock files....but I don't know how to flash it back.
Attached is a picture of a .zip file of the files inside the zip. Do I use ODIN to flash back? What are the procedures? What file is associated with which box in ODIN? Sorry I just don't have a clue. Or do just throw this into my tab's SD memory and update from CWM recovery mode?...
Do I use superoneclick to unrooted after back to stock rom?
I just don't want to brick my tab...Thanks for any help...
The stock ROM should be a 2.2 FROYO, and the ROM I'm on right now is on Gingerbread...if this makes any difference...
Use this guide first flash with odin it tells you how to flash with odin at the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
and after flash whatever froyo rom you want make sure you got the one that shipped with your device if its going back for warrenty again flash with odin and your done.
Edit dont forget the thanks button if this hellped you .
Thanks for the link.
So i have the .pit file for the PIT section.
No need for phone and csc section i assume.
But for PDA section i dont have any files available? From my attached picture. i only have a data.tar.gz file. Im not sure what that file is? do i just rename it to .tar??? please help
Sorry not sure on them files i think you can use heidmal with those files do a search on here for that
Anyone???
What do I use? ODIN? HEIMDALL? I need help please.
From overcome gold you will have to re-stock to froyo. Which means a repartiton with pit file + phone + modem files. You will need odin for this.
I would suggest flash back to a safe froyo rom first - as per jutleys link above. Then flash back to your original firmware version.
From the pic above looks like you have unzipped the full.zip. For Odin You need the full zip in the pda section, modem zip in the modem and the pit file in the pit section. Download full zips from roto's link above.
Then check out roto backup thread (shows how to restore using heimdall / odin). As i havent flashed back to my original firmware yet, someone else could advise better. I am assuming for stock purposes you need to put the original stock firmware zip into pda section of odin and leave everything blank and then flash away.
Cheers

Thank you for your response. I'll work on getting back safely to a froyo rom.
As for the picture, it is a pic of the content inside the full zip already. Should i unzip and enter modem and pit according? But what goes into the pda section?

That pic is from a firmware from samfirmware? It has the bootloaders in it so be very careful as flashing bootloaders can cause bricks or be protected ones. As i said before, i think you flash the full zip in the pda section and leave the rest blank i.e no need to unzip.
But do so only after flashing using roto safe froyo rom.
As for the files above, It might be wise to take out the bootloaders then rezip & flash but i would wait on someone with a bit more knowledge just to confirm this.
As long as they are the original files for your firmware, you should be ok.
Thanks for your help ezynow.
UPDATE: I've successfully downgraded from Overcome Gingerbread to Overcome Froyo now.
Now it's just a matter of getting my head wrapped around this stock ROM right. The order, and where the files should go.
Anyone else would like to share their insight? This is the file I downloaded, and this is how it is presented to me. I just need someone to help me sort out what is what.
Thanks.
UPDATE #2: Tried re-zipping and converting to tar file. ODIN failed. Re-zipped into tar again without the data.tar.gz file because I don't know what it is, and failed again.
I don't know what to do anymore. How do I get this to work?
bump
anyone?
UPDATE #3: Tried loading the whole .zip file from CWM. No luck.
Who's your service provider?
I sugest look for another stock rom here that is in the correct format i am sure i seen a post showing all stock roms somewhere use odin
Link deleted. It mentions to use pit file + full zip in pda section . Then says out of date.
Also did you check rotobbackup method thread - use heimdall and flash individual files from your extraced zip files. Assuming you can avoid flashing bootloaders you should only be a soft-brick if anything goes wrong and download mode still available.
Forget about using cwm for anything stock related.
Sum1 who has reverted back to stock surely can help out here!
p.s what was your original firmware version?
I have succesfuly downgraded from gb overcome gold to arabic froyo using the file from samfirmware. First try resulted in stuck at samsung logo but I was expecting that due to the ext4 partition. A cache wipe and factory reset in recovery solved that problem. Also I observed when going to recovery that there were errors in red that are coming out complaining of access problem to certain files. Since I am able to boot I then proceded to format the internal sd. After that I again flashed using the same arabic fw. No problems so far even kies sees my fw as the latest.
Here is the procedure I followed-change the files according to your fw version

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
I will try going to another stock firmware later this afternoon.
However, the firmware I really need is P1000MUGJJ7 (Bell's stock firmware).
The files I have in hand are apparently the files for this firmware, but how to restore it, I have zero clue. These we're sent to me by a member on this forum.
I think the member said that these were created from roto backup.
I have looked everywhere else for this firmware version but it's NOWHERE. Neither does samfirmware.com
So to sum it up, pretty much these are my only sources to play with, and just gotta make it work...
Please help and thanks again.
anyone?

Please refer to the attached picture.
It's a pic of the contents inside the .zip file I was given.
Now I just need a solution as to HOW to use them.
Only the pit.pit file can be used.extract it and in odin load it under pit. then under pda load the whole tar file. then check repartition ,reboot and time.....start...

OK. So you are suggesting I take out pit file then CONVERT in someway the whole .zip file into .tar file for the PDA section, am I correct?
Now, I need a proper way to convert this file because I tried this using a converter I downloaded online. And after the conversion, the .tar files was double the size (over 400mb, original ~200mb). And flashing through ODIN using this new file didn't work. So what's the proper way to convert?
