hi
i was searching around and couldnt find or edit myselft , so im asking for help
we all flesh many different samsung phones and many different roms in our work.
sometimes im not in , and my workers ask how to flesh this and that.
i was wondering if there is any way i can edit the ODIN.INI file to auto chose the correct files for fleshing.
meaning i'll make a new dir with the rom i need to flesh , add odin and odin.ini in it , edit the ini to add the files in that dir , and if i open this oding from this folder it will auto chose the files in the dir , this way they cant make any mistake with the correct files , as odin only remember the last dir it used so sometimes it goes to different phones folders and they can make a mess
thx for any help
and im hope im in the right forum for this Q

1. Read the instructions on that thread.
2. Post your question there. (However, in your case you can not post in development forum because you have less than 10 posts)
Trust me, the answer to your question is in the FIRST post if you read it CAREFULLY and follow the instructions!
Hint: The keyword in "bundle". Good Luck.
put files in \firmwares\my-firmware\
Also check your unzipped folder. Sometimes the files are two folders deep and you have to move them up.

I had this same problem and rather than listening to key word or hint at bundle. even though it is correct. click on the advanced tab (which apparently is too hard for other people to just say) and replace the kernel.sin file along with the loader.sin file in your 2.1 software. then flash as normal. voila. mt.

Maybe it is even harder for some people to read and follow simple and clear instructions? Or maybe it is easier for some people to start threads about topics/issues already discussed (and resolved) numerous times on this forum because they are too lazy to read through the posts? Don't you think?
ok so i want to try just for the fun of it, reinstalling 1.6 wwe_R1fb001 i have the rom downloaded, unzipped, but there two files and unzip those and .......ok now im lost using the 2.5 flasher what would i put where or do i need to use some older method?

You need to create software bundle. Go to advanced --> Bundle Creation. Once you create the bundle, then you can flash the firmware.
sorry to still be a dumb ass but from which unzipped rar file do i use sin files from both unzipped rar's
one file is phone the other is android.
once its been done its easy but till then the whole 2 folders option is throwing me off.

Two folders means you need to create a sub-folder inside the firmware folder. E.g. /firmware/my_firmware and in the sub-folder put all the SIN files associated with that firmware.
You need to unzip any firmware you download regardless of the flash tool. One rar is probably the flash tool and the other is the firmware. You need to extract all files.
ok plz dont get frustrated i know you know what your talking about and your like just read the directions... but some of these you guys have been doing so long you forgot some of us get lost right after words like zip and rar lol.
id have to build a bundle and here is my choices, first unzipped folder has this in it.
metadata.dat DAT file
simlock.ta TA file
system_s1-sw-live-ac12-0001-s1-partion-with-spare.sin
update XML doc
userdata_s1-sw-live-ac12-0001-s1-partion-with-spare.sin
other folder has
amss.sin
amss_fs.sin
several other sin files then
preset.ta TA FILE
recovery.sin
update xml document
so this is why im saying huh confused how do i build a bundle from 2 different folders also when i tried to use flash tool with placing sin files in firmware folder it didnt work. i didnt place them in a sub folder in the firmware if that could have been why it didnt work
btw i have 2.1 and multi touch installed on fone using flash tool and didnt brick fone lol again thx for help were not all as genious as you guys.
What fw do u want to flash? You will find a sticky thread in the development forum titled "Decrypted branded roms..." Just download the fw you want from there. Then use it with the flash tool.

Lol sorry. I see what you are saying from what you posted. You need to gather all the sin files in one folder and rename them. You can try downloading another firmware from that link to see what I mean.

I know that there are lots of forums but NONE of them answer this question, and i have spent the last week checking so i did my best. I have a SGS2 gt-i9100T with voda australia, if its relevant, and i have upgraded to XXLPQ ICS and it is rooted so i get CWM, and i have come across no lockscreen or power options. I had the same problem with the other versions of ICS but none with gingerbread. So initially i thought that i had to get into /efs/imei and change keystr to make it work. The problem is, no matter which root explorer i use when i get to the folder /efs i cannot open it. it just stays in the main / folder. I have tried to use a terminal to edit the file but it says that i dont have the permissions to do so and that it cant. i have backed up the folder using HC-K and it says that it was successful. Please someone who can help me as it is driving me nuts not being able to use ICS as it doesnt work. i also cant copy /efs as when i hold press on it and ask for info, it says that it has no files in it and no folders. and when i try to copy it, it says that nothing was copied as there was nothing TO copy.
So yeah, any help would be massively appreciated to all
so you're saying that backup was successful, why don't you make 2 backups, edit one of them to your need and restore it ? it should work.. and of course, don't forget to keep that 2nd original backup
I would except that the backup files/folders are not the ones that go in the /efs normaly. there is 2 files made from the backup, one called efs and it is a disc image file. and the other efs.tar. hang on, that tar file i may be able to edit. il get back to you on that thanks

you can edit that TAR with WinRAR for example
No luck, when i edited the file oddly it made it 0.7kb smaller, even though i added a file. and that .tar is a .tar.gz
Can you reboot in download mode?

i can although thats not what i want to do...
i have official firmware already from checkfus, its just this editing business thats has me confused.
the older firmware doesnt help when i need the /efs for ICS
also winrar says it can only add files to a rar or zip archive, so i cant edit the current .tar
try any other packing app, google is always here for you "how to edit .tar"
Yeah i used one of them, peazip and i thought i replicated the file perfectly and everything but its not working still, maybe i am lacking other files from /efs aside from the keystr one.
Some time ago I was "crwaling" around in the Android file system and found the IMEI.txt . What exactly happens if I change or even would delete the file?

Hello I am kinda of new to rooting and I am following this tutorial, from my understanding I need the Factory image of SM-A526B/DS, I am having issues finding that file can someone point me in the right direction?
Correct me if I am wrong but, if I cant find this file does it mean It would be convinient to change my OS and then download the img file? I don't know If I am making sense, I apologize im kind of new to this.

In the same Forum where you opened this thread there is someone saying that could be unlock and root the same device as yours https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-magisk.4272797/post-85041029 a little research could bring you there.
For the firmware just adding to SM-A526B/DS, the word "firmware" you will find a lot of entries, also you can use some tool like Frija https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910594/
