Hi, I've decided to update the fw and have never used Odin before, I am following Intratech's instrutions and have pressed the pda button to find the .tar file but in file I downloaded (from Samfirmware ) doesn't seem to have .tar file?
What should the pda file be labeled as?
Follow instructions post 1
Flashing Firmware with Odin .

Looks like you have un-zipped the tar.

So am I not meant to unzip the winrar archive and just select it for pda, phone and CSC?
Just to point out that there are no .tar archives
Check the file extension on the zip, should be a .tar
Best to remove winrar and install 7-zip, it shows proper filename extensions.

Help!
I tried to flash Jellyblast v3 custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Y s5360l but its stuck at boot now. i have Odin downloaded and i downloaded the necessary files from hotfile to flash the stock ROM back on my phone but when i click PDA on odin and search for the file, it is not appearing. Help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and i dont know if i have the latest firmware-I got this phone on Christmas 2012, but does that make a difference? The files are just not appearing with Odin. Thank You.

Did you download the firmware from sammobile.com. If not download the latest firmware of your country from sammobile.com and the follow the correct procedure of how to flash the rom from odin you will find them on xda
Good luck :thumbup:

No thanks, i got it fixed. Thanks for asking.:good:
I am having the same problem of my file clearly being located and visible in the location I want when viewing via Windows Explorer. Yet when I go into ODIN, the file doesn't show as an option. In the attached screenshot, ODIN shows me that there isn't ONE single file from this location that is usable via the PDA option?? Please help as this is really perplexing me.
Thanks!!

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this

and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

.pit file you will find somewhere here.
is there other way to fix it ? im afraid that pit file will crach the phone
or this is the only way....... przemcio510 i did't find any bit files on this forum
If you flash the correct .pit file nothing can harm your phone in any way.
If you carelessly flash i.e. i9100g pit, you're gonna have a bad time...

Well in that thread, you said you flashed a .pit file. These .pit files control the partition sizes on the phone. So the .pit file you used there is responsible for reducing your USB storage to its current size. You will need to find a .pit file meant for the 16gb model of the i9100.
Look at this guide, and download the recovery package specifically for the i9100. (not the G/M/P or T) That package should contain the .pit file for the i9100 16gb model.
EDIT: hmm. I just checked - looks like the packages don't have the .pit file after all. Sorry.

I had a s3 which had emmc problems, not too sure but as long as you have product name and access to recovery and download mode you can try and flash the firmware again using odin. I am not sure as mine had no recovery mode at all.... somone with more knowledge may wish to clear things up for both of us. You can find some guide on how to flash to stock and flash stock firmware.

Hi Thanks for answering.
I have proven with many Roms and always leaves me FAIL in Odin
I have also tried pit.
And whenever I get FAIL in Odin.
I have proven all Odin and I always get the same. FAIL
do you have kies on your pc if not install it, it will install proper drivers for s3 then odin might start working and one more thing odin only works if your phone is on download mode and the added is written

If you have Kies on the PC does not detect the phone.
if you always put the phone in download mode to connect to Odin
Odin if it detects the phone but always comes FAIL

I am currently running:
Build: ALEXNDR.N960FXXU6FTJ5
Baseband version: N960FXXU6FTJ1
>MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LATEST MODEM AND BOOTLOADER INSTALLED!
Getting ready to flash a new rom, but I haven't done this for a while.
1) How do I check what modem version I have?
Based on the I *think* the modem is "FTJ1", but I'm not 100% sure.
2) How do I find out if there is a newer modem available?
3) What Bootloader version do I have? Is it "6" (the 5th character from the right in the Baseband version)?
Download the latest firmware from samfw.com. Since that website source builds official Samsung servers, the latest firmware there should be always the latest.
Thank you, @Cyndaquissshhh . Just to confirm, it doesn't matter that, in the past, I had flashed an unofficial ROM to my Note 9?

Yes, no problems. I have done this a few times before.
@Cyndaquissshhh what's the trick to downloading the firmware? I click it and it won't download...
Oh, there are three buttons (on some pages there will be four). You can either download it from Google Drive or "Download SamFW server". I don't recommend "download on browser" since the downloaded file would get stored as site data. As you can imagine that's not a good thing...
I find their site to be very confusing. Thank you for your help, @Cyndaquissshhh . I finally ended up download a file named "Samfw.com_SM-N960F_INS_N960FXXU9FUK1_fac.zip".
Can you (or anyone) verify that I have the correct file?
(Last time I tried something like this I soft-bricked my phone... thanks.)

If there's 4 tars in it, choose what it says. Like if it says AP, then choose the AP in Odin (you'll have to use ODIN ofc)
I don't know how it goes for newer devices but I had to always choose only a single file and then flash..
@notnoelchannel the .zip file has 5 files that all match up as you said (AP, BL, CP, and CSC) but the 5th file starts off with "HOME_". Does that go in the "USERDATA" box in Odin?

Don't use the HOME_CSC (i guess)
You need only 4 files, try flashing the 4 files but don't put the "HOME_" one
But as I said I don't own a Note 9, so I recommend to ask someone else :/
But if you choose all the files, it will flash the whole stock rom back!!!so don't!!! only BL and CP as Painkiller-axel said
Thank you. I have other questions regarding the flashing process but I think I will start another thread so this one doesn't get too confusing for people to read.
