Figured it out by testing, the kernel (pda file) flashed with the ops file and then clean/wipe data and cache. However, I cant install any apps on this rom, the phone says: No applications can perform this action.

Thank you for your reply Roger, that worked. Odin needed its dll file though, luckily I had the file on my laptop and the phone is now flashed. About the kernel, I just flash the pda file without the ops?

@s4ph1r3 it's been a while since I had to do this, but I'm pretty sure it goes under 'One Package'.

Where in Odin should the original firmware file go? There are 4 choices: BOOT, PHONE, CSC and One Package.
I know that the OPS is for the ops file and PDA for the pda file, but I have no idea where to put the firmware file.
