    3. You have to split the single tar.md5 file into three files first before flashing otherwise it will not work !
      Follow Step 2 (Given Above) - To split the tar.md5 file then try to flash again !

    1.Connect your device GT-B5512 via usb cable (Make sure you have all the drivers installed properly)
    2.Open KIES (Latest version and click on firmware upgrade & initialization
    3. Then enter your model name as GT-B5512 (<---exactly like this)
    4.Then enter your S/N (You will find S/N behind the battery printed on white plastic below sim slots)
    5.Then wait for till kies complete the upgrading processs
