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

Put your phone in download mode (power button+volume down button+home button while its switched off) then connect via usb.
First select the .ops file in the ops column
Then in odin tick the "one package" option and select the MD5 file. Then just flash it. Done.
Yup its one package file just tick one package.. And select the md5 file.

This is a one package rom, select the ops file, extract the md5 file, check one package in odin (top left), select the file (bottom right)
And click start.

[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!
