hi, i'm new to odin and i was hoping you guys can help me out.
1. is it absolutely necessary to use .pit file every time using odin or are there acceptions?
2. is it ok to use default .pit file from odin3 or use a specific .pit file for galaxy player?
edited:
so i couldn't wait and flashed using odin. i was eventually successful after 2 attempts (thankfully no bricks) and i think i learned a thing or two, so now i want to share my experience with those who are new to odin. and this was done on an international version btw.
1st attempt (failed)
firmware: eryigit rom 1.2 based on 2.3.6
odin3: checked: pit (using a pit file for 2.3.5), pda (eryigit extracted file), auto reboot, reset time, bootloader update
result: booted fine, however android process crash constantly, camera, gallery, music, video don't work, FCs
2nd attempt (success!)
firmware: eryigit rom 1.2
odin3: checked: no using pit file, pda (eryigit extracted file), auto reboot, reset time
result: great success!
make sure you have samsung drivers correctly installed on your computer
how to:
full wipe: go to recovery and do a factory reset
recovery mode: power down, hold volume UP and power button until samsung logo appears
download mode: power down, hold volume DOWN and power button until samsung logo appears
ghetto lagfix (eryigit's rom):
1. go to recovery mode
2. back up rom and reboot
3. plug in computer via usb to storage mode, find folder under clockworkmod/backup/xx.xx.xx with .rfs extensions, change .rfs to ext4
4. open nandorid.md5 with notepad, change .rfs to .ext4, exit and save
5. go back to recovery mode
6. restore the previously back up rom, reboot, finish!

Searching was a mess of incoherent threads (or maybe I don't know how to search correctly).
I am on Bionix V and with voodoo lagfix from Nero V5. I want to Odin back to stock and apply the 2.2 update. I am giving my phone to my dad and he wants it stock as a rock.
I disabled the lagfix via CWM and let it do its thing. When it booted back up, the file structure was different (obviously) and all of my files were "gone"...which I didn't care about since I already backed everything up.
The problem is my PC would NOT see the Vibrant via ADB. In fact, I couldn't even get it to show up as a removable drive. I re-enabled Voodoo, file structure came back, and bam, my PC recognizes it as usual.
What am I doing wrong?
Well if your gonna go back to stock the disable voodoo in cwm , reboot and let it convert back to rfs and boot up. Hold your power button to get the Power options screen and go to Download Mode. Open ODIN, plug your phone into your pc and add the 512.pit to PIT and your .tar flash file to PDA, makes sure repartition is not check and you have a yellow COM port showing and hit Start.

So manually placing it in download mode is the missing link?
I always did
adb reboot download
to put in download mode before.
it is stuck on boot screen the logos just keep flashing but nothing happens. i cant go to recovery mode or download mode it wont work. i just put ginger clone rom and it messed my phone up plz help THANKS VERY MUCH
Odin back to stock . Pull the battery hold both vol buttons then plug in micro usb to get to Download mode . And most likely user error is what messed up your phone . Tons of people flashed Eugenes GingerClone no problem including myself so its not the rom .
Yes, follow the 1st post pull battery hold vol up/down and then plug in the usb into the phone.
It may have been you did not disable the voodoo lagfix before trying to flash
This procedure will get you back to stock and then you can go from there:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
Doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box

Installation Guide
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed
2) Extract ur firmware it to get its content which would be a .tar
3) Download Odin3 v1.85. Then, extract it to get these two required files – Odin3 v1.85.exe and Odin3.ini. Do NOT delete the .ini file since it’s required too. When asked in step 6 below, open Odin by double clicking on the Odin3 v1.85.exe file.
4) Disconnect your tablet if it’s connected to PC. Power it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5) Now, put the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Download Mode (also called Odin mode) — press and hold, until Samsung Galaxy logo appears — these keys together: Volume_DOWN + Power.
6) Wait till you a screen with options to boot into recovery or download (odin) mode.
7) Press Volume Up key to boot into download mode.
8) Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe. Admin privileges would be required!
9) Connect your Galaxy tab 10.1 tablet to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. And you should also see COM port with a number in Yellow. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve the right drivers installed!
10) Select these files in Odin at respective tabs.
11) Click the PDA Tab, and select the big .tar file “P7510XEUKL2_P7510XXKL2_HOME.tar.md5″
Important! Make sure these 2 check-boxes are selected: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Also, leave the Re-Partition check-box clear (blank), as we are only using a .tar file or PDA file to flash.
12) Double check everything said in step 11.
13) Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your tablet will automatically reboot — and you can unplug the cable when Galaxy logo appears. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful, Try again, and take care to complete the whole process without any break whatsoever.

How do you get the drivers that work when the Tab is booted to ODIN? I've tried everything I can find and have been unable to get the correct drivers installed.

Install Kies and it should install the drivers. I'm pretty sure you can download them from samsung.com too. But when you use odin make sure that Kies is completely closed (even check in processes in task manager) or odin won't work

I have been searching around and the most i found was this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520728
I tried doing this in CWM but no luck. I expanded the rar file and found a tar but odin isn't working for me. Any advice or am I doing something wrong?
What exactly is going wrong when you try to flash with Odin?
More details = more helpful responses to your problem

Did you do it like this: Another user asked the same question, and I guess it worked for him lol. Also this is for the US Galaxy Player 5.0 so don't flash it on a player that isn't this one. You can find all the stock roms here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 with step by step instructions too.
1) Download stock rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520728 (Use 7 zip or winrar to extract the file)
2) Download and install Kies found here: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ (if you haven't, it's for the driver)
3) Download and install Odin just click the link http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw&sig2=ZjUHLCkIbG1_EprOk9enrA
4) Enable USB Debugging from the GP 5.0 (Settings-> Applications-> Development Check box for USB Debugging)
5) Turn off the player regularly then put it into download mode (Hold Volume down and power), Icon that says downloading at the bottom should pop up (looks like this http://techbyte.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Android_download.jpg)
6) Open Odin (make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked or you will brick your device)
7) Plug in Galaxy Player to USB port. Under ID:COM it should say something like 0:[COM4] and is yellow. In the message area it should say "Added!!"
8) Hit PDA and select the .md5 file named "ueki8_min.tar" (only use the .pit file if you want to re partition your player otherwise it is not needed)
9) Hit Start and wait until it finishes. Should take anywhere from 2-4 minutes.
10) Profit
Optional Steps*
If you get bootloops then
11) Turn off player, and put it into recovery (Hold simultaneously power + volume up + settings button [button left of the home button])
looks like this http://h8.abload.de/img/20100829_004w6fq.jpg
12) Do Wipe data/factory reset, and Wipe cache Partition
13) Profit
Let me know if this works for you, and if possible can you give me thanks
Hello everyone!
I have tried researching before asking for help, but I don't seem to find a solution.
I have today partitioned my SD (when will I ever stop fiddling I wonder? ) using CWM recovery.
I have lost access to my SD Card and cannot mount it any longer.
I have Googled today, and the advice was to flash a stock rom again ( I9100XWLPF_I9100OXILP6_I9100XXLPX_HOME.tar) and use the "clear storage" option.
So, I flashed 4.0.3 stock again.
Whenever I follow the steps highlighted here:
1. Shut the POWER OFF, take the battery out and put it back again.
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Briefly Press and release the Power button
4. A menu will then appears that let you allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Quickly Press and release the Power button
7. Select Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
I get into download mode instead.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get into the bootload menu I need?
Thanks ever so much to whoever offers help, it's much appreciated.
Fastboot isn't in the galaxy s2. Recovery and download modes are the only modes on this device.
You downloaded a stock ROM, which is most probably a .zip file. Extract it on your PC, you'll get a .tar file (don't extract any further).
Download Odin3 on PC.
Boot phone into download mode. Connect phone to PC, and open Odin. A yellow box should show which indicates that Odin has detected your phone. (If not, you need to download the drivers, search and you'll get them).
Select PDA button, and choose the .tar file and flash. Make sure repartition is unticked. Only things ticked should be f.reset (or similar) and auto reboot.
