Odin prefered
or ROM manager or the CWM app perhaps (personally prefer non-App methods so...)

How do you flash an .img with mobile Odin?

What .img are you trying to flash? I flashed a recovery image by just putting it in recovery on MO

Yes it's a recovery.img I'm trying to flash can't work out how to do with mobile odin

Click on recovery, browse to the .img and select, then flash, having said that,I just tried that and my mobile Odin isn't seeing the files at all, haven't used it for a while, but it worked last time I used it, but I'm running dual boot so it might not work! Confused!

I think you can flash .img with heimdall but I have never used it myself

Fair enough, I guess I should've read your OP more carefully. I was able to use dd to switch to TWRP recovery fine...
The Play Store page for Mobile ODIN says, "Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported." If I'm reading it correctly, renaming your img file to recovery.img exactly and then using the Open File button should work (or if not, perhaps the Recovery button)
If that still doesn't work, you can get twrp-sgs3.zip from here, replace the twrptr6.img file inside the ZIP with your recovery.img (keeping the twrptr6.img name) and then install it with CWM (this will essentially do what that dd command on the TWRP site does)
rename file to recovery.img and use mobile odin select recovery option and navigate to .img and flash

I have Odin 3.09, I don't have a "recovery" button to flash the image file of CWM 6.0.4.6.... -_-
You can use terminal emaluator.
Google it.
If i remember correctly the heimdall utility can flash .img files. It's command line though, but i'm sure it wont be a problem for you.
the only way is to convert .img to stupid .tar.md5 to flash via odin, I think....

You're both replying to people that posted years ago. As if answering now helps anyone or as if they'll actually be able to see and use your responses.

Did you unzip the file? Its possible your IMG files are inside. Also, almost all vendors will have a factory image available from their website.

I tried that but the vm doesn't recognise the phone because you need to set up something extra for that to work which I can't find...
Heimdall works on Mac. Let us know if that works for the S6.

How about bootcamp. The problem with a virtual machine is going to be drivers because everything running on the Windows virtual machine ultimately has to pass through OS X. With bootcamp you bypass the OS X operating system altogether. Let me know if it works.
Use heimdall, just flashed TWRP from Linux.
Quick mini-"tutorial":
--Please use your terminal. It's much easier to use and explain.--
Download a custom kernel. Required because the stock kernel will end up in a boot loop after you install TWRP. I recommend unikernel, but you can use any kernel that can be installed with TWRP.
Upload the .zip to some directory on your phone. If you don't, you won't be able to boot normally anymore. You CAN push a zip using adb later if you mess up, but this is easier.
Boot your phone into download mode (home+vol down+power).
Install heimdall. There should be a tutorial for mac somewhere.
Download TWRP.
Extract the recovery.img from the TWRP tar.
Plug in your phone with the Samsung USB and run
Code:
heimdall detect
to make sure it's there.
Run
Code:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img
and once it's done uploading and reboots IMMEDIATELY press the recovery combination (home+vol up+power). If you don't, the stock ROM will overwrite your recovery and you'll need to flash it again.
Install the kernel you uploaded earlier using TWRP.
If you used unikernel your phone should be rooted now. I believe some kernels don't root, for those you might need additional steps.

In your working directory, you can also just specify the full path (e.g. /home/username/Downloads/recovery.img).
If you don't know what those are, look up a terminal usage tutorial online. A Linux one will do, it's basically equivalent.
Great tutorial! Does it work on edge plus?

I can't see why it wouldn't, but I can't test it.
If you want to try, just check the pit file ('heimdall help' will give you all commands you need for that), as long as there's a partition called "RECOVERY" and you use the right kernel/TWRP there should be no differences.

First Unroot your device by flashing this UnSu script using TWRP recovery, then go to updater, update your device, if its still doesn't work then lock your bootloader and try again.

Remove root, it will not let the phone to be updated
If iam right...
1. Unroot from su
2. Flash FULL original B341 ROM by extracting the update file
3. Then update by Extracting the B351 update file.
4. ROOT again.
by the way before updating someone was saying i have to flash stock recovery.
How do i do that...
I extracted the B341 rom and found two recovery 1&2..how do i flash it.

Ask @DigiGoon
@ganeshindeed
Follow these steps:
Unroot from UnSu script.
Flash system.img, cust.img, boot.img, recovery.img from B341 ROM by extracting the UPDATE.APP(B341) file.
Then put UPDATE.APP(B341) file in dload folder of your External SDCARD, and do the three button update.
Once the system successfully boots up.
Then put UPDATE.APP(B351) file in dload folder of your External SDCARD, and do the three button update again.
Thanks for the detailed help...appreciate it.
The problem is
1. Iam having two recovery after extracting B341. Which to use?
2. Also flash means how to do it...these are .img
Thanks

I said recovery.img there is second one named as recovery2.img but you just have to extract recovery.img.
And by flash I meant to flash via fastboot commands, like these:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
and to boot into fastboot/bootloader mode switch off your device and press and hold Vol DOWN + Power Button.

If you are using the three button method then don't.
Just flash the four images and let Android boot normally.
Use your dialer to dial *#*#2846579#*#*
And choose software upgrade and then SD card upgrade and now it should run till 100%

How long did you let it run when it got stuck at 30%.
When I got stuck at 5%, I used the method I mentioned and it worked for me.
Give it another try or two. Sorry, I don't know of any other way.
Maybe 5 to 10minutes...

I was rooted using supersu. Because I wanted to pass safety net I decided to unroot, but the supersu uninstaller gave me an error. So I unrooted using a zip file, which worked. However did this not restore to original boot image, which is why I am still not passing safety net.
Does anybody know where I could find the stock boot image and can I flash it simply through twrp?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Or does dirty flashing the stock firmware fix it, too?
I recently flashed an original Boot.img to install Magisk on my Note 4. You basically just have to open a downloaded firmware (of course the one you are using at the moment), open it with 7zip and extract the boot.img file. You can then flash that with ODIN.

Extract the AP file with 7-Zip. But you can't flash a .img file with odin. You'd have to convert it to a .tar.md5

Thank you*jd1639 and jhill110 for the input. I'm not the most experienced at all this yet and I usually find myself in the deep end of the pool. I've already managed to soft brick my phone last year and just end up extra cautious since then. I just didn't want to end up wiping TWRP off my phone with a stock boot image with no way to flash it back on at the moment. Sorry I couldn't quote you two, my account is new and I can't use external links or quotes until the tenth post.
Hi,
I was trying to flash twrp to my friends s3, and we did everything correctly. Using Odin we flashed the .img file. But it didn't work. Having some previous experience with this, I tried flashing an older version of twrp, but it still didn't work. If anybody has any ideas on how to get it onto his phone, please respond.
Thanks.
@Chattamax: for Odin, you need tar-file, of course.

.img and .tar both work. The main download on twrp website also is an .img
@Chattamax: you can't flash an img by Odin. On TWRP for i9300 you get each version as tar-file, too.
(img are for updating within TWRP or installing from command line)
Ah, I see.
So I just flash the .tar instead.
Ok I'll try that, thank you.
