Latest Version of Odin? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any idea which version of Odin is the most recent? Last I saw officially was 1.7 but I've seen 1.8/1.8.2 in some downloads but would rather not download a trojan.

It doesn't really matter because 1.3 is the only version that works properly with our devices as far as I know anyway.

Ah, thanks.

I would suggest you learn about heimdall. There's a nice sticky in this very forum to help you too.
Heimdall is much more reliable than odin and the frontend has a bunch of failsafes built in to prevent you from accidentally doing dumb things like you can in odin.
Anyway, just a suggestion.

If someone does a dumb thing with odin, its because they're dumb, not odin. 2 buttons, not hard.

How to root EA28?

Having trouble rooting EA28 for a friend. Tried super one click, adb, and z4, all do not work. Is there an odin package or maybe something I can flash through CWM (that can be installed at the least). We want to be able to run titanium backup BEFORE going to froyo, so flashing ahead isn't an option untill we gain root on stock EA28. Thanks for any help!!!

If you got to adroidcentral, there is an all in one pack for eb01 froyo that is prerooted and comes with cwr. It is used with odin and pushed through pda. Has sc 2.6 packed in as well. Then you can backup if you'd like.
Don't know if that's what your lookin for, but it avoids having to take more steps to get you to froyo.

I want to backup everything through titanium backup first, then go forward, that won't work just yet (next step though ) but thanks for that fast reply!

If you want to backup your apps, try app monster. Workes for unrooted phones. Then you can flashed and root reatore with app monster then test, reflash to unroot, then restore again with app monter. Not sure what your tryin to test tho...best of luck.

Wait. Lol thought I was in the other post! Lol you can still use apl monster to back up your apps, then flash froyo then restore

Mobile Odin by chainfire

I am sure of you have seen this already but chainfire developed and app called mobile Odin, and it pretty much does the same thing Odin does on your desktop but on your phone. Our device isn't supported yet but he said our device is one that it could work on. I have already provided a dump file to him for our device but I think it would be good if more of us i777 owners showed support over in his thread so we can get a compatible version soon. The more interest that is shown, I assume the quicker we can get Support for our phone. Here is the link

Can phone update while running unnamed?

I tried to get the new PTA update from art but the installation failed twice. Are any unnamed/custom rom users having this problem?

* OTA update

NEVER a good idea to do an OTA update when running a custom ROM. Also, I believe the "Update phone" option is removed from UnNamed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
So how would I remove the rom to install the new update? Also, unnamed leaves the update phone and even keeps on the 24 hour rule

UnNamed 2.0 and above is updated to 2.3.6. If you are using an older version of unNamed all you have to do is update to newer version and you're good to go.

Did you try looking in the Dev forum? How did you flash unnamed if you are this clueless?
What I meant to ask is that roes unnamed update or do I have to manually download 2.0?

You're joking, right?
houston, we have a problem...
OP you need to manually update yourself and yes UnNamed ROM gets updates...if that's what your asking. But the other thing you need to do is go back to the basics of learning what you are doing. The questions your asking are things you should already know if your gonna be Modding/flashing your phone. This is how people brick their phones .. there's more than enough info at your fingertips right here in xda. You just gotta read, and if you don't understand something, ask and read some more!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Every time a new ROM is released for unnamed, you need to download it and manually update it. There is no ota.
If you're lucky your phone will get 1 OTA from AT&T over the lifetime of your phone if you are stock. Custom ROMs, like UnNamed and many others on this forum on the other hand gets goodies pretty much once a week. If you keep up with that ROM's thread, you won't have any issues. You will find that as soon as you have a problem, there is likely a solution in the thread already. The search button should be your best friend. Most people are more than happy to help, unless you are asking them to spoon fed you the solution.

Please help, ROM Manager Brick

I don't have a SGH 1777 myself, but I was rooting it for my cousin and I had no idea ROM manager was corrupt.
If anyone has any idea how to unbrick or fix through Odin please feel free to share.
My friend should not have to pay for my ignorance.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Rom Manager is not corrupt, just no official support for our device. -- Hence the Sticky Thread Warning in this forum.
U probably are gonna have to flash back to Stock...see the stickies in the Dev forum. U can gain Root access there as well. All info that u need is in the stickies. :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Thanks. I was reading the stickies, but I couldn't find the stock ROM that is flashable through Odin. Could you point me in the right direction please?

Thank you. And just a quick question, I flash the kernel on that page with Odin correct?
U can use either Odin or Heimdall to flash the rooted system, kernel and modem.

Heimdall

Sorry for bugging you guys lately, but I have a question.
Can some of the devs work on making a mobile version of Heimdall just like there's a Mobile Odin? And make it compatible with our players... ?
How would mobile Heimdall differ from mobile ODIN? Don't they do the same thing? And I don't think that's a task our community's devs can take on alone. CF made mobile ODIN, and he's like a genius.

i think u flash partitions through heimdall.. I sent CF a pm to make Mobile Odin compatible with our players... Lets see what happens
