Odin does not install to your computer, it simply launches.
What OS are you on? If you're on Windows Vista or 7 it should work perfectly, I don't know if it'll work on XP. On Mac I believe you use Heimdall. On Linux you use Heimdall.

The toolkit can be dangerous just because it had an unreleased firmware (it was what Samsung used to test the phone before they started selling it) that was the "return to stock" firmware, and I'm unsure if the creator ever removed it so it still probably has it, and was completely unrootable by all of our exploits, unable to be unlocked, and unable to be flashed in Odin so there is no way to get back to stock.
While the other things in the toolkit haven't had as many big complaints as the "return to stock" feature I still wouldn't use it. If it has that there is no telling what else is going on behind the scenes.

This is the thread for droidstyle's guide to restore to stock. Has Odin download and all necessary files. Shangrila is right, be careful with that toolkit. Personally, I would stay completely away from it.

No matter what I do, this phone will not return to a stock unrooted state.
I have tried Odin. It freezes on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! or cache.rfs no matter what I do, no matter which computer I run it on, no matter which USB port I plug it into.
Heimdall also fails. It starts, claims that it is updating factory filesystem, then stops with no error message. Reattempting results in the error message "failed to retrieve config descriptor."
No matter what I do, I can't return this phone to stock! This will make it harder to sell if I ever do sell it, and plus, not being able to clean the slate means any 2.2 ROMs I flash have had serious lag problems, leaving me stranded on Eclair!
Help?
i had the same problem, i sent mine to t-mobile and they mailed me a replacement soon after.
I can't actually do that... this phone was purchased second-hand.
have you tried other versions of odin?

I've only tried Odin3v1.00 and Heimdall.
I can't find any downloads for other versions; all Google searches lead to v1.00.

Try no version of odin. or close odin and reopen it, sometimes takes a few shots before it works

+1 for a newer version of Odin.
I thought I had perma-bricked my phone a month ago, but solved the flashing problem simply by using a newer version. Here is 1.7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
Well... I've done it again... But this time I can't seem to unbrick it. I tried to flash hanthesolo's stratusrom but it failed and bootlooped. So I went and tried restore from a backup that had cm7. For some reason it bootlooped again. so I went in to Odin and tried to go back to stock just to get things working again. I failed and ended up going to stock recovery with a bunch of errors. So then I just panicked and tried flashing different combos of pit files and roms and stuff. Now I can boot into cwm. But I still can't restore from an older backup or revert to stock firmware. Any ideas???

You will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables. And put your device into download mode when your are installing the drivers.

Your bootloader wasn't unlocked. Use Odin to flash back to stock and make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing clean rom.

Odin is reconizing the drivers cause there is 'com' number so from what i understand the drivers are installed.
Heres my problem , Odin is going down the checklist (or whatever it is doing) when it gets to the sboot.bin it stops and says
< ID: 0/005'Complete write/ operation failed'
<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / fail 1)
I would assume the ID is bc the 'com' nuber was 5
I think i have found evry thread out there to try and fix this via Odin.....but you guys are the experts
I dont know what else to do P L E A S E help all I want it to be is restored------
I downloaded the correct drivers directly from samsung
I had the same error /problem after installing twrp without realizing my bootloader was still locked. I followed the instructions in this link (1b directions) and flashed back to 4.1.1. Then took the 4.1.2 update and used Adams casual utility to root and unlock. I'm not an expert by any means but this worked for me.

Also make sure to use the "Alternate Restore" file as it does not contain the bootloader. It's a. Xz file and you will need to unzip it with 7zip or something else.

Yea I saw this thread- bottom line which download do I take? the : Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12
or: Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12
and Im not sure of the "alternate restore" file you are referring to...Im sorry
I am not an expert either....especially with the note II since I just got it via 3rd party SWAPPA bc of not wanting to loose my unlimited data. I was told it was unlocked and obviously I was F'd
Also- I saw this thread last night I downloaded the (Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12) and did the instructions to the "T" and still got failed-did I miss something...
I hope you or some others are out there to help me ....I would love to get this up and running
On the thread with the official there is a download link below the official and mirrors titled Alternate Restore. It doesn't contain the bootloader and I believe that is the file you need to use. If your bootloader is locked odin fails at the point where the file you're downloading tries to download the new bootloader, hence the need for the file without the bL. Does that make sense?

here are the steps. Flash root66 which will bring back your note to life and the software would be 4.1.1. Use Jailbreak tool to unlock the bootloader and you will be golden.

Yes it sorta does (i am still learning) and WOW i read the the bold print about the alternate restore but never ever saw the download file ( i wasnt looking)
Is that the file you used??? and then went to Casual and let that do its thing? (which I have already downloaded to my laptop)
That is what I did. I read about the method droidxrooting said but can't personally speak for it (but I'm sure it works too). If you use the file I used just remember to unzip it even though it's not labeled a zip file and make sure you use the correct casual method.

I tried running JOdin on my mac, and it would not recognize my phone on download mode. Right now I'm installing Parallels to see if I can get it to work on windows, on my mac, eh.
update
A little update: So I finally managed to install windows on my mac, and after going through hell and back (Installing kies, etc), Odin finally noticed my phone while it was on download mode, flashing the firmware took like 10 seconds max, and my wifi was fixed.
I just finished flashing N3bula, and so far everything works.
So yea, definitely need Odin on windows to flash the firmware, JOdin wont work, neither will heimdall, nor Mobile Odin

Hello fellow members.
I have an S4 SCH-I545
I feel as if I'm out of options, I have read many forums for the past 3 days and cannot find a method that works. I am currently soft bricked and cannot get ODIN to successfully flash anything. When I pull the battery and try to boot it immediately takes me to ODIN Mode, and I can't seem to get into anything but that. Just recently it has given me a new image that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I don't exactly know what it is referring to but I have Kies and there is only an emergency recover area and that does nothing.
Am I out of options? Any help is extremely appreciated.

Alright sorry to make you write that again.. I just now saw you included your quote from an earlier post.
Are you able to hop onto your PC and copy and paste what the Odin error is into this thread?
Trying to flash a custom recovery on anything other than MDK will certainly lead to a soft brick most of the time. However you should be able to recover your phone back.
Using the full wipe NC5 Odin file should do it.. However if that's not working for you only those errors being posted here will allow the right people to help you along.
May seem silly but have you tried simply trying another USB cable? I've seen people on here have Odin flashes fail just due to the cable.
Grab the Odin errors though if you can

I can't link to it now as I'm on my phone but if you Google Odin full wipe Verizon nc5 it should bring you to the proper xda thread to get the file.

Yep, from the thread you suggest.......... "The number one reason people brick their Verizon Galaxy S4 phones is due to attempts to flash recovery using Goo Manager, dd, and other tools without understanding when those will or won't work. The Verizon S4 is very locked down, and will reject such attempts in most cases."

So I followed what you said and ended up using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
I did the full wipe version, and it was successful, however I still cannot boot. It will give me the samsung icon with the unlocked padlock, and then just go black, I still can boot into ODIN mode but not into recovery. Any idea what's going on?

Try booting into stock recovery and do a Factory Data Reset and wipe cache then reboot.

Also once you're back to stock run Tri Angle Away to get rid of that annoying CUSTOM screen at boot lol can't stand that thing and on my phone it can make getting into CWM a pain as well.

I can't seem to get into stock recovery either. I tried re-flashing and I still get the same results, when I try to boot into recovery I get the Samsung logo with the unlocked padlock, and then it just shuts down. :/
