It doesn't matter. Try copy it to internal SD this time
Added on January 5, 2012, 6:26 pmUpgrading Msian firmware to 2.3.6 with root and CWM installed :
If your phone is not rooted, you have to use ODIN on PC to flash the phone. In odin, just select the tar file as PDA - leave the rest as default. And don't worry, flashing an official stock rom will not increase the flash counter
Download the rom file from either sammobile.com or from XDA ( it is the second last item on the list )

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784Once your phone is rooted and withnCWM installed , you can now proceed to use Mobile odin to flash the 2.3.6 Msian firmware :
Launch mobile odin
Select OPEN FILE - and browse and choose the stock 2.3.6 firmware tar file
You will see a listing of all the files selected : kernel, system, data, modem etc etc
Replace the kernel file with the CWM extracted tar file ( MUST be in tar format ). DO NOT overextract the file to become zimage. The file extracted one level down should read something like this : example CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5.tar - note the file extension is tar
Select flash firmware
TS : please post these instructions at first page. I have been repeating these several times already
Benny - Thanks for being very patience to people like myself who will ask another newbie question.
Ques: I have rooted my 2.3.5. If I just use the Mobile Odin, can I just point this to file which I downloaded from -
