Sorry I'm new to android and I've noob question
What do you mean:
1. ...to a tar file.
Do I have to create a file or it will be included with the download file or what?
2. Put the phone in to Download mode ready for flashing.
Is this Debbuging Mode?

Inside the 300MB .zip file is a 500MB .tar file. You only need to extract the zip and not the tar (which is also a archive format).
It's not debugging. Follow the instructions below that link and you'll see what it means . It's non-destructive, just power the phone off or remove the battery to restart the phone again.

Ooops, didn't see your guide when I looked in the ROM forum earlier Intratech.
You're welcome to add my Hotfile links in your thread.
I couldn't download from Megaupload earlier, limit reached for free users so i grabbed the ROMS from the Samsung server.

Can I flash the SIM free one on an O2 phone? Is the only difference the splash screens?

It's ok, I made it here and I think one of the mods got confused and moved it or something. No biggie.
Thanks to an awesome member, David Horn, we are getting a fast host setup to host firmware and will be testing it shortly.
I'll knick the O2 firmware off you and link it in that thread.

It will change the sales code to generic UK code, XEU, and remove all the O2 branding. It will not unlock the phone though.

Mujja, Intratech thanks for that. I have this done.

convert data partition not enough space on partition error.. what to do
Welcome to the forums.
Tried flashing a voodoo kernel or something?
Download ODIN (below). It does not work on Macs. You will need Heimdall and can be found HERE << LINK.
HERE IS ODIN << DOWNLOAD THIS
Quote
MD5: E012B512C1579C3AF7A38A27FD905B86
TWO FILES ARE NEEDED TO LOAD IN ODIN FOR GOING BACK TO STOCK JFD (2.1 Eclair)
The PIT FILE << DOWNLOAD THIS

Move all files to Desktop.
- Mount your phone and move the rom to the internal (sdcard/ ) & the update.zip file (if needed)
- Power down the phone, or pull the battery.
3 - DOWNLOAD MODE
*NOTE - IMPORTANT*
On my PC, ODIN will NOT work when my camcorder is plugged in.
If you notice ODIN not working, you may pull the battery if it has not started/hung (again, at YOUR risk, not my fault/responsibility). Remove any USB devices just in case if you are worried about it, I have to.
Quote
1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)
2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC
(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)
3- Power down Phone if you had not already.
4- Remove the battery.
5- Plug USB into Phone.
6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.
** ALT METHOD
You can also just power down the phone, open ODIN, load the pit and tar, connect USB to pc, hold both volume buttons and connect USB to phone. This is how I do it. Some are not able to do this so the above instructions were used just in case. **
4 - ODIN

Go back to ODIN on your PC. Should be a yellow box under ID COM, Something like COM 5. If not, likely a problem with your drivers, see this THREAD FOR DRIVERS that I created. Should help. If you were on Cyanogen or MIUI you may need the Nexus S Drivers, Google them.
Click the PIT button, Select the PIT file from desktop
Click the PDA button, select the TAR file
** Re-partition is checked now in ODIN - THIS IS APPROPRIATE!! **
Click Start. Unless ODIN hangs, you should see a progress bar start soon after. The process takes a few minutes and you told ODIN to reboot once done.... so... when your phone boots up, you are on stock JFD.
IF ODIN HANGS ON YOU:
- Are you using my files (all 3 of them?)
- Did you check the MD5 using Hashtab (LINK)?
- Are you using the cable that came with your phone?
- Have you tried other USB ports on you PC?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
After installation is complete click mobile odin application icon in app drawer as shown below

View attachment 2815256
Flashin will take some time after flashin is complete open up recovery while using power+up button during boot up and wipe everything and then after booting up your new rom is flashed voilaaaa.......
Thank you for this, but just in case one of you have flashed the n8000 bootloader on your n8010, and Mobile Odin sees your device as an n8000, you might need to manually download the latest version for the n8010, found in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

At what section did this ROM stop?
And what is the details of your original phone firmware: AP + CP + CSC ?
Did you run Odin3.exe as Admin?
