A. Single file only - This firmware comes in a single packed mostly
on recent updates that is fulled from official Samsung Kies firmware
server. The PDA,MODEM and CSC file are in one single packaged.
Once you extracted this file, you''ll find a .tar.md5 file extension to it.
ex. N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5
Just load the file on the PDA slot. Just click on the PDA button then select and load it.
DO NOT check 'Repartition' because there is no PIT file is

C)
Multiple files with Pit included - This is a full flashing method,
this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original
firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix
softbricked devices like unable to boot normally. (I am using this
method in my shop to fix bricked devices. Be aware that hard bricked or
such already dead boot jammed devices cannot be recovered by Odin,
I'm using a JTAG force flashing with another tool) So, don't ever
messed your device for its hard to recover it)
The same as the multiple file step above but this time you need to load the pit file.
Click the Pit button and load the Q1-20110914_16GB.pit then the PDA,
MODEM and CSC files. If the bootloader file is also included load it on
the BOOTLOADER button.
This time you need to check the Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes.
