How to install zipped ROM's through odin?

What i understand is that you need ROM's to be *.md5, almost every ROM is *.zip, how do i flash that one? i need flash through odin because my galaxy went softbricked.

what do yo mean by soft brick ?? u cant go to recovery mode ??
install Offical rom then hack it with a kernel , go to recovery mode and install rom
there isnt anyway to install custom zip rom from odin

Sorted it now
If stuck at bootscreen turn off device, then hold power button and volume up to enter standard android recovery mode, then select clear dalvic and clear cache, reboot and that sorted it

i discovered that i can enter cwm recovery
But i made a full wipe, it still doesn't help.
Do i need to flash in offical rom?? Where can i find hk's rom??
Thx and please help

If you still have CWM recovery, then your attempt to ODIN the stock ROM did not work.
What version CWM do you have?
Find the stock ROMs here, but make sure your model is p3100 not P3113 or similar.

I didn't use ODIN to recover. I just had a full wipe but it doesn't work.
I am having CWM on V6.0.1.0
Is the following process correct?
Open Odin-> Tablet in download mode-> Connect-> Choose the downloaded zip in PDA column
THX !!!

almost
you can;'t use a zip file in odin
you have to extract the contents and point to the .tar.md5 file
example P3100ZTOLP3_P3100UBLP7_HOME.tar.md5

One more question here
Can I upgrade the android version by using odin with newest firmware?
Thats using 4.1 firmware with the same method I've done.
Sorry for my poor english.

[Q]is my phone soft bricked or hard bricked?

i tried to install a custom rom but my phone doesnot boot neither it starts in download mode. please suggest what should i do

You could try to flash the stock rom for your phone again. Search Google if there is a stock rom ftf file and flash it with Flashtool
Another possibility is check if you have installed the correct kernel for your custom rom and install both again.

Could you give details about your installation process? A jig could fix your problem or in other words it could boot your phone in download mode.
If your recovery is available flash a custom ROM with it.

i installed the rom under normal conditions. for your info i have done this plenty of times but this time i m clueless. i have ordered for a jig but is there any other way to get my phone back?? please suggest.

Have you tried to flash it with 'Flashtool'?
Have you installed the correct Kernel for your custom rom?
Another solution might be to look in the internet for 'wotan server' - here you could try to restore your phone but it will cost a little.

u could also try odin to flash your original formware

Other than the jig is there any way to start the mobile in download mode??

You could try going into flash mode then flash a new kernal or by going into fastboot mode to flash a new custom ROM in Flashtool.
But I think this only works with Xperia Phones.

workd in nexus one too

sorry, didn't have that in mind but you didn't tell us yet what phone you have and if you have used 'Flashtool' or 'Odin Flash tool' which is for Samsung phones, so it is very difficult for us to help you

you shouldn't have to use odin to flash a rom on your phone, odin should be for recovering your devices back to stock or flashing a custom recovery. does it have a recovery on it right now?
