do u mean all files such as system images for modding or?

I mean to copy PIT,PDA,PHONE and CSC files ,those which I need to use them on the odin3 to flash my Tab on the default previous first settings.

Use a program for your pc named 7z to take the .tar file, untar it, and you will have the individual files.
Did you get the stock rom yet?

How I do that? Do I connect my Tab with my PC ? When I connect it with my computer ,How I can transfer these PDA,PHONE and CSC files from my Tab to the Computer? Do I have to type something? Do I use some program after 7z?
Do you mean the 7zip unzipper program? Could you tell me step by step What I have to do to transfer these files from Tab to Computer? Where I find the stock ROM? Did you send it to me using the PM?

I think Johnkond means how to back up current rom image rangercaptain.
As far as I know you can use Rotohammers backup utility but as I've never used it you may need to do some research...

That's right ultramag69. I want to take an image from an other and same Tab (GT-P1000) ,so that to re-install, to tranfer these (PDA,PHONE,CSS)files to my Tab.

I mean ,how I can get the .pit , .md5 , dbdata files to flash my tablet the next times?
How we find these on the internet? Do someone upload them there, right?
How he does it? Does he use some program? What is its name?

You can try OVERCOME method.

No, overcome doesn't extract files from tab to computer.

So what is the correct method to get a whole backup from my SGT-P1000 tab?
Of course there is a way , but what is that way and what are the correct tools to do it?

Help Using Odin To Upgrade Stock Firmware

I would like to upgrade my stock firmware to KL4 using Odin and am unsure if I need a Pit file or will the tar file be all that I need. Also, do I need to select "Re-Partition" in Odin?
Thanks for any help
you dont need the pit file, you just need the tar file or the files containe within the tar file

If you have 3 files after extracting (CODE,MODEM,CSC) then attach these three files as PDA=CODE , PHONE=MODEM, CSC=CSC, if you have one file the attach it in PDA,
Then UnCheck Re-partition,
no need to select Pit file,
Put your phone in download mode,
Attach phone to PC
Once your PC detects your Phone Click Start
After Flashing Device restarts twice. Done..

Thanks very much for your very helpful reply.
Remember using PC Odin to update, you are closing way to Root your device, If you want to Root it, just Root before it. See installation guide on my signature for further detail

Thanks for your advice and the guides which are very helpful. I've downloaded the German stock ROM (LA4) from your list but I've been unable to extract the tar file using Winzip, so I'm stuck at the moment. Any further help from anyone how to extract the files would be appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help. I didn't know that Winzip did not work and that I needed 7z which I have downloaded and extracted the tar file.
I had a problem with Odin. Could not get it to flash la4 no matter what I tried.
So I bought mobile odin , put the relevant file on my phone and I was upgraded in under ten min Awesome app, sometimes its worth payin some money to get the job done

Make sure you have followed guide properly, disable modem if you have it (i kept drivers from root method which doesnt have modem) and make sure Windows enabler is on. Log runs for a long time when I flash, about 15 minutes before it finally reboots

put the Firmware kdz in the "kdz-update" folder.
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" like if you were flashing the phone.
when you hit "upgrade" in the program, it will creat a temp .cab file like "V10x.cab" in the same folder "kdz-update", you need to be fast and select and copy (or drag&drop) that file to other location, desktop for example...
after you get the .cab, you just need to extract the .dz and .dll files with winrar, winzip, or other.

[Q] Trying to root and I'm stck, Odin can't see the .tar.md5 file

Hi guys, I'm trying to root by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852&highlight=root
So I downloaded everything from the links given there (Odin 3.04 and the cmw file. However when I'm on step 9
9- press the PDA button and select the unziped file from step (1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I click on PDA and the cmw file doesn't show in the location I left it. I tried moving it to desktop but doesn't work either. Any ideas please?
Thanks a lot
The CWM file's extension is .img, isn't it?

Did you do unzip
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
No, I hadn't, see here I'm confused. Step 1 says unzip, but Step 9 says select unzipped file, so which should it be?
To decide, I did a little research and found out Odin should open .tar and .tar.md5 files directly, so I figured it wasn't necessary to unzip.
Anyway it doesn't find it either way, I just tried unzipping but I can't find the .img file with Odin either =/ What am I doing wrong?
.rsrc folder
One more thing, when I try to open the Downloads folder where I left the .tar file, all I can see through Odin is this .rsrc folder that apears to be empty.
Try to download it again
And unzip it
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Solved!
Thank you both, I figured it out! I know it's dumb...but I didn't realize you had to run everything in Administrator mode (apparently). I tried this and it worked, it seems I was running Odin as Admin but in a non-Admin account and the files were hidden or something...
Anyway, sorry to bother you with my dumb question, but I hope this can help another dumb noob like me!
I'm ridiculously happy with my brand new CM 11 now, time to play with it!
