First and foremost. my bad, here in post

You should not need to extract it. Just navigate to it from PDA in Odin.
You
do need to extract the file from SamMobile (I was confused as I'd been dealing with a kernel previously)...
7-Zip (or similar... WinRAR or WinZip) to extract the .zip files on your PC. Download,
here.
Download the .zip file to your desktop and unzip it, (To extract the file, just right click on it and select 7-Zip/WinRAR/Winzip and, "Extract here". This extracted file is the one you will need.). This is the
.tar file. Place this file on your computer Home screen
Hi, Thank you so much for your reply, can you please explain to me in lay mans terms how do i navigate the file from PDA in Odin,
Click on the PDA button in Odin and select DeskTop and the file that you previously extracted.
Do not have Kies running at the same time.
also i have realized that i did not enable USB debugging before i tried to root my phone and also my phone will no longer connect to Kies, i probably sound very stupid but i am definately learning my lesson now. Please help if you can. Many Thanks.
Before you can do any of the above you need to make sure that you can connect to Kies and Odin first. There is an excellent post by
Hawker, entitled, "
Advanced steps to take for Kies connection problems", that will walk you through the steps you need to take.
If the worst comes to the worst, you will have to try it on another PC.
Should you be unsure, after carefully reading the instructions and watching the flashing video, then please ask as I am sure someone will be able to help you.
