nope... its my mistake (created the .zip wrong..)
no worries though... you can flash a rom (same way as flashing the zip) and that is guaranteed to fix your phone... but it is a significantly larger file size...
here is the file

so do i do the same with this file and flash do i do apply as a update ?

yes, flash the file i linked to by going to recovery and pressing install zip from sd card... same process as the last one but use the new file...

no, do not apply as a update... choose 'install zip from sdcard'

and i would not send to samsung as the first thing they will do is turn it on... and once they do that, they will see the 'danger triangle' which means you used odin... then they will charge you money for something you can fix at home for free...
