It's a Odin one-click file. I'm really not sure how you can mess this up. Just put your phone into download mode, connect it to USB, run the .exe file and click the button.
I'm not sure if you should really be flashing yet. You should read up more on flashing, bootloaders and odin before hand. It'll save you and everyone else lots of time, in case something goes wrong. Just saying.
Plus, the flashing procedures have been posted countless times. Just search and read.
after i rooted my player i went into google play and downloaded this root tools app to change things and i may have changed a boot up animation and it required a reboot and as it went to the samsung logo it went into a bootloop. i did lots of research and i download odin which wouldnt work and heimdall which refused to open. so is there any way to get my 2 week old player working agian?
thanks in advance,
Isaac

Lol you have the same name as me . But for heimdall did you install the c++ redristribuables?
Haha cool. Yes I downloaded the 2010 version after downloading heimdall. Should I redownload heimdall?

It says a .dll file is missing
Well this is what I'd do: Open Odin3, put your player in download mode,(VolUp+Pwr) and download Entropy512's Kernal(the .tar) or if youre on a 4.0 then rumirands kernal and flash that to your player. Then flash a stock rom via CWM. If you have nothing important on your player then you can just wipe user data and you'd be done.

The thing is the package made for US players are supposed to be flashed using heimdall. and rumirand is for 5.0 INTL not for 4.0
But did you installed this?

EDIT: Oops it seems that you already downloaded it but i'll keep the link in case.

Redownload heimdall and C++ redistribuable. I saw the same error with other people and this is the only cause of it. Did you reboot your computer too?
Just to be sure the dll is MSVCP100.dll right?

Try this solution from the heimdall's creator:
I have been trying to run this for a while now to downgrade from JM6 on my tab, i keep on getting the attached error, I have installed VC++ runtime, i am on Win7 Ultimate, 32 bit OS
Hmm, that error looks like the kind of error you would receive when the VC++ runtimes aren't installed, or not properly installed, on your system. Do a search in your Windows\system32 directory for the DLL that is giving the error to make sure it's there. This certainly shouldn't be required, but try copying that DLL to the same directory as the Heimdall executables.

I recently purchased an S4 and managed to get an MDK version. I haven't had a chance to root it yet, so I used to keep canceling out of the system update prompt. Unfortunately, today while I was typing an email the prompt came up and I accidentally hit the install prompt, which led to an immediate reboot of my system and it initiated the installation of the system update. I managed to take the battery out immediately and prevented the update from completing. Every time I reboot the phone now, it goes through the "installing system update" cycle and I have to remove the battery to prevent it from completing.
Do I have any chance of killing the update process and retaining the MDK version?

Try booting it into download mode and then cancelling to see if it would boot normally. Root then freeze/rename/delete sdm.apk. if not I would download the mdk stock image and flash through odin to remove the update files. After getting it to boot enable airplane mode and root itm

Thanks for the suggestion. I just booted into "Download Mode", but didn't connect my phone to the computer. I powered down the device and rebooted. It went into recovery mode and tried to install the system update again... any other suggestions to kill the update from taking?

I have an idea. Someone may need to confirm this will work. Actually im pretty sure it will work. Flash the MDK pit file in odin. If you need the file let me know.
I second that idea.

Here is a link to a ODEX or DEODEX stock rom. Just download your preference and flash with Odin. If you need help with that, just post and we'll give the steps.

It's supposed to be. I got the update from my wife's phone which was able to update, but when I tried to apply it to my phone (which won't download the update) with recovery, I get a Check CID Failed and my phone reboots. All you can do is try and see if it works.

OTApkg does not wipe the phone like a RUU... your sdcard and data are safe
If you do have to RUU back to stock be sure and backup everything as it will wipe the phone.

Ok, I thought so. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors. The OTA just fails on its own, and flashing this zip in recovery does too. It says there is a data error in the file or that there is a problem with buil.prop.
I've tried the latest CWM touch, CWM standard, Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img, andrecovery_m7_att_stock_1.26.502.12.img. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik first, mounting system, and even toggling signature verifcation.
Was going to try temp un-rooting (via SuperSU) next. Hoping I don't have to flash the RUU and start from zero. Any other suggestions?
I'm s-off, htc-dev unlocked.
Added screenshots of install after new download of zip and temp un-rooted, install after mounting system, install after toggling verification. build.prop is definitely in system.

Doens't work, you get a eMMC write fail
edit: now my S7 refuses to boot. I can still acesss the download mode, but odin cant seem to flash anything on it.
So my S7 is now useless :\
edit 3: these files are old, thats why they dont work if you've recently updated your phone.

Lol. No, PD3 is still BL v2 - you can flash it no matter what current version you're running. And the files are official - they don't harm or corrupt the phone.
eMMC write fail has nothing to do with the files themselves. That's a board-level issue
can we get a re-up
Any chance anyone has these files? I am stuck in boot loop and trying to work around it.

Use HOME CSC if you don't want to wipe, but a wipe might be needed anyways. So use non HOME CSC if you can afford the wipe
