How to Flash with Multiples files with Pit, Bootloader, PDA, PHONE/MODEM and CSC file
This is full flashing and useful for unbricking for it has a full packaged with individual file allocations, this type of files we often used to fix a bricked Samsung Android devices. Some firmware updates have like this one and some are came into just a single file packaged.

Click on each button and load the appropiate file unto it.
Pit Button - select and load the totoro_0623.pit


Bootloader - look for the file with the word Boot,
like DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5


PDA button - look for the file with the letters PDA or CODE on it,
like PDA_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5


PHONE button- look with the word MODEM file,
like MODEM_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5


CSC button - associated also with letters CSC or Multi_CSC,
like GT-S5360-MULTI-CSC-OXXXXX.tar.md5


There are three checkboxes on the left side of ODIN, the Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.
The Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are often always checked in flashing while the Re-Partition will only be checked if you want to fix the memory partition of the phone, now if you'll only want to upgrade or downgrade DO NOT CHECK THE REPARTITION.


DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION - Safety for Upgrade and Downgrade

How to Flash with Only Single file?
Some files came only in a single packed like with tar.md5 file extension., and a 'SS_DL.dll' file also included on it. Others are confused where to put this file. Well, the S5360XXXXX_S5360XXXXX_S5360XXXXX_HOME.tar.md5 goes to the PDA button section while the 'DLL' file in not to be used but don't delete it, a dll file means a driver.
Again the "Repartition" check-box is not to be tick, only the Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked.

Hit the "Start" Button when all are set perfectly to begin flashing.

CAUTION: Avoid touching the phone while the flashing already started, any interruption will result into serious issues like soft-brick or hard-brick.

Let the flashing completes, a progress bar displays until the firmware downloading process finishes. It only takes around 3 to 5 minutes, depends of your PC speed.
When a word "PASS" appears, it means that the flashing is successful. The phone will then reboot and after completely rebooted it is then safe to remove it from computer's connection.
