How to extract a CSC file from a single file rom?

I want to try out the csc file from a i9000b rom on my i9000 but all I can find is single file roms.
Can I somehow extract the CSC file from it?

Rom is tar file unzip it .win rar works .
If inside is then image files open with Ultra ISO or similar .
Or build a rom with the CSC file you want in it .

None of the files are ISO. I get these files:
cache.rfs
factorfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage
Also, the link you provided does not have any CSC for Brazilian portuguese. That's why I'm trying to extract it from the Brazilian SGS i9000b.

Can I use .pit file when firmware is 1 tar file?

I have read several tutorials and some say that I should only use pit file when there are 3 files pda, modem and csc. Others I have seen isntructions to use the pit file when there is 1 pda file.
Which one is it? Are 3 files and repartition better than 1 file and no repartition?

You select repartition when you want to flash the stock RFS system or when you have formatted your file system to EXT2/EXT4/JFS etc using custom ROM or lag fix.
You dont need to check repartition every time you flash the phone.
One PDA file is usually a cooked file which contains MODEM as well as Multi CSC. So you have to see yourself what you are flashing. Usually, leaked firmwares have all 3 files seperate that you flash but custom ROMS combine all of them into 1 PDA file.

Isntalling Rom via PC Odin with pit + 1 file (PDA)

Yes guys,
The question is obvious. Normally we flash 4-file Roms with pit file.
But, what would happen if I flash 1-fle Rom (namely XXLSZ) via PC Odin with a pit file and Re-Partition TICKED?
TIA

Being a senior member you should know better. You might be new here but rules are rules. REPORTED

Guys, Sorry for opening the Thread in wrong section. I was subscribed to Android Development Thread and forgot to switch to Q&A thread.
Aaaaah I am so sorry for disturbing people.
Though, I would appreciate if someone could answer my question.

If you select pit file (selecting pit itself will check repartition box) then it will make repartition, regardless of how many other files you have selected.
Basically when you flash single stock tar file, that already contains full package (system.img, kernel,modem, CSC )
while in case of leaked ROM it having separate files for Modem and CSC and you have to select along with PDA.
Even you select pit files without selecting other any files(for PDA/Modem/CSC), it will make repartition.

Will it work at the end?
I mean, if I flash a Rom along with a pit file, it won't boot if is no boatloader in it, so to speak.
So, what is the situation for XXLSZ? Would it boot?
But you basically say that if 1-file contains every necessary sub-files, then there will be no problem.
Pit will make partition, and then files will be flashed.

Basically there is no meaning to use pit file if there is no messing with partition.

Now regarding particular LSZ, as this file having bootloader, so using with pit it will boot
another situation
Your ROM file doesn't have bootloader and you are using pit
still it will boot unless you have used custom pit and that mess up with existing.
Phone only won't boot if you have used wrong pit
Pit file just define partition table, it won't format device, so if your existing partition table is same with one you are using in pit, it won't make any difference.

Hmm.. I did not know that. I knew that whatever happens, if I use pit file while flashing, it will format every partition, including /sdcard nad delete even photos, etc.
I did not know that nothing will happen if I use the pit file which has the same partition table.
Thanks again doctor.

You just have to extract modem.bin from the tar.md5
Thats the baseband.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM10.1

You'll have to make a tar of it. IZArc should work fine if you're on windows.

system.img.ext4

Hey there,
I've tried searching about the forum and haven't been able to find the specifics about this:
I've got my un-encrypted .tar.md5 files from the last initialization, but there are 3 files and I'm wondering how I go about converting them into one image or what's actually necessary so that I can have the added convenience/stop burdening sammys server.
AP_T710XXU2BOL6_CL6649608_QB7907593_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 contains: system.img, recovery.img and boot.img.
BL_T710XXU2BOL6_CL6649608_QB7907593_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 contains: sboot.bin and param.bin
CSC_XAR_T710XAR2BOL3_CL6649608_QB7749942_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 contains: hidden.img, GTS28WIFI_EUR_OPEN.pit and cache.img.
Let me know, thanks. :good:

Old post i was just looking fo the answer myself for my Tab S4. Your post showed up in my Google search.. You don't need them in one image, as odin has AP BL and CSC.. So all you need to do is drop them in the right tabs and hit flash job done! Well i am just guessing will try and let you know!
