I downloaded this through the xda link Epic4GTouch/kernel/ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel/SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v6.02beta.zip but when I try to flash through odin it doesnt see it as a .tar file??? Am i missing something here?
Because it's a zip file. It's flashable only thru CWM. Odin requires .tar files.
I know i sound dumb for asking this but im new to this so i'm trying to learn. How do you apply this update [STOCK] [ROM] T989UVKL1 [09.12.2011][Android 2.3.6] Tmobile
some people will mentioning stuff about 'odin'? I just don't understand how to apply the update.
Someone please help
THANK YOU
Here is a video to start you off with, of course you don't have the jig so you'll have to put it in Download Mode manually.

Here the second post by bubby tells you how to flash via Odin. You'll have to Download Odin, Samsung drivers, etc.

Now this is the lastest release with
Wi-Fi calling. This is the one to flash via Odin to get latest update.
Let me know if you still can't do it, but do your research before trying it because you can brick your phone otherwise.
It's easier than you think.

You are right in unzipping it. PDA that .tar.md5 file and "start".
1 rooted 1 not rooted
Just upgraded 2 of them, both worked out great!
Question: After I flashed this, Titanium Backup is telling me it's no longer able to connect to root, or something to that effect. After applying this update, do I have to then re-flash recovery using Odin?
you have to reroot again you lose root after upgrade . flash CWM and flash superuser u good to go
I want to un-root my at&t s3 that has stock ICS so I can take the JB OTA update. Found the instructions and a .tar file. After Odin completed, the phone is still rooted. Ran Odin with the .tar file again and the phone was still rooted. I guess the .tar file that was posted was already rooted. Can someone please point me to the "stock" ICS file to flash? I have tried Googling for it and I have searched XDA. Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks

You don't have to update to 4.1.2 to update to 4.3.
If you go with a custom ROM, you will keep root. Although, if you flash stock ROM with Odin, you will lose it.
Mobile Odin can be used to flash (don't interrupt it), if you wish to go that route. No special instructions.
You can also flash using Odin (PC version), once again, don't interrupt it. You'll have to unzip and use the PDA file.
Finally, if you wanna flash a custom ROM, you can install TWRP, which you can get from GooManager on the Play Store (menu then install recovery). That will let you flash a custom ROM in recovery.
Now before you do any of that, please take the time to read and fully understand what you are doing, w/e option you choose to go with.

You can only flash the zips via recovery. Download both zip files to your PC and copy to a good quality micro SD card. Place the card in your phone and boot your phone to recovery mode. First you flash the 4.1.2 zip, then reboot to recovery again and repeat the process with the 4.3 zip.
Yes, you will lose root and you may lose your downloaded files which is why you need to do a back-up before updating. Once you have updated to 4.3, you can re-root your phone.
Hi all, just wanted to know is there a way to convert twrp-3.0.2-0-t0ltetmo.img to a tar or is there way to install this version all i know is using odin but only reads tar and no img. I'm using rooted sgh-t889.
You can flash an earlier version of the TWRP tar in Odin and them install the TWRP img file from TWRP.
You could also use Cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com/) to accomplish the task of converting img to tar.
