PDA/PHONE/CSC files [SOLVED]

PDA/PHONE/CSC files
Hello, I was following the instructions one by one to flash my phone.
Also downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile.com/firmware
The firmware consists of a .tar.m5 file of size around 350mb.
but now they ask me to browse to the CSC, PDA AND PHONE files.
Which are these? and where can I get those?
Thanks.

If your rom have one file then flash with odin as PDA.
Here is instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787

The rom i downloaded has two files in it,
one is
I9003DDKP2_I9003ODDKPH_I9003DDKP4_HOME.tar.md5
and other is
SS_DL.dll
I'm naive to this.
Please help.
Thanks.

does xxkb3 come with the pit file? the rom thread doesn't specify and I won't download just to find out.
in another thread, someone stated that there is a separate pit file for froyo vs GB, and that you can't use the GB pit file for going back to froyo.
I found a froyo pit file, but I can't confirm how good it is since it's not on the sammy site or here on xda. the page to get the file is here

no, I don't know what it stands for (google could tell me if I was interested...), but the pit file is for designating partition sizes, which is necessary when installing different versions of fw, like froyo vs GB.

See the below link for flashing guide and there you will find the pit file for froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12310540&postcount=1

so ranhoover u mean dat i can follow dis way:-????
xxkpe->xxkb3(twice)->ddkb2(twice)

so should i go in dis way:-????
xxkpe->xxkb3->ddkb2

Dont bother looking at XXKPE!!
If you still want GB after flashing DDKB2 get back here i'll tell you how to do it

I tried to make factory reset from Recovery but it says :
E formate_volume rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Help please...

i assuming you have no hardware problem.
1. you have converted to EXT4, which when flashing CM9 or MIUI.
2. you flash back to stock firmware, which using RFS format.
3. you get bootlooping after you flash stock "1 package .tar file in PDA", which is very wrong. although odin show pass
you should do the below.
1. download a component type firmware, eg. XXKPE or XXKPQ, unzip than you have 3 or 4 .tar file
2. flash with odin for the .pit file first.
3. reboot download mode, than flash the firmware.

There is no Pit partition..

I tried to install superSu via samsung odin, but it says there is no pit partition. Someone told me that I need pit file for recovering it. Where can I find it?
Are there anyother solution for this?

There is no pit partition. The pit file is a file that describes the partitions on your phone for Odin. It's stored inside your Bootloader but you don't have to worry about that.
If your flashing from Odin it will use your current pit for flashing. If you are installing a new stock rom a pit file comes with it inside the CSC .tar.md5

I don't follow what you mean. Please reread what I said. Pit files are in every single stock rom, inside the CSC_OYM archive
