Odin question... ? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I have used various versions of Odin (ver 1.85, ver 3.04) to flash the last 2 phones I have had (Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and Note 3). That being said, I have not found any documentation for Odin, and know very little about the features.
I was guessing that the "Bootloader" button should only be used to flash new boot loader updates. (Seems obvious.)
When I have flashed ROMs, I was told to use the "PDA" button (not the "Phone" button).
If I flash things like modem updates ("baseband" modules), should I use the "PDA" button or the "Phone" button?
What is the "CSC" button used for?
Are there times when I should select specific options???
Thanks for any help you can offer.

From what I understand, most anything you'll be flashing will involve PDA slot, including modems, recovery and stock rom tar files. Bootloader goes in bootloader, and the others, as noted, are less likely needed for regular use.

The closest I can find for documentation is the original thread for the program which is here. You should find what you are looking for in that thread.

New YP-G70 Owner.. A few questions

Hi Guys
New YP-G70 owner.. love it so far, but I have a few questions:
-Am I right in thinkiing I can do anything with it as i can with a SGS apart from make a phone call, such as mod it, flash it and custom it with EX Launcher, Cyanogen or anything from the Google Market.
- Does anyone know what the latest English language firmware. I found this on SamFirmware,
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?p...70&r=1#regiona
but the 2.3.6 are for italy and sweden, when i do a search for UK firmware, the latest one is 2.3.5.. XXKPF, which says France.. can anyone advise.
Thanks

Yeah, i did that.. it now shows me a mini phone, a computer with an orange triangle in the middle of them and pressing the power button just resets to that but it does detect it in windows and odin, it just stops with "ID3 Connection" when i try to flash 236
Ive just got this today.. can anyone help..please
Is it Bricked?. Will leaving it on to drain the battery help?.
Also, is there a recovery file for it. My version is a YP-G70CW, which i believe is the international version.
Any advice
you need to find the stock ROM & use ODIN to install via download mode. All the info you need are in these forums, I did a search for your model & stock rom I got this. Or search the dev forums.

I didnt use a .pit file, I just used the XXKPH file in PDA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574207
then clicked start and it failed, now its just sitting there as mentioned, but i have downloaded the 8gig international..235.pit file, i just havent done anything yet.
What should i do next?
Ok, had a dig around and I need to flash a kernel as well as the KPH file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574207
Is there a kernel available for stock KPH and do i need to use the .pit.
Thanks
Thank god.. Its Done.. Yep, its fixed through hard work, reading around, following advice given and much diligence. In the download mode I mentioned, I flashed using rjs Kernel which got it bootlooping, then flashed KPF in ODIN.. had to flash KPF twice, wiped Cache part > Dalvik Cache, fact. reset and reboot.. all done.
Because this has a built in battery, ill not be doing this again through odin.. ill use KIES, even if i have to wait 3 months for the release.
Its now 4.30am and im off to bed.
Thanks
Update... Im now on KPH236
Some questions about that flash:
When the flashing failed and i held holding the power button down for 10 seconds, thats when it booted into the other download mode (phone, triangle, PC), so would i be right in thinking this works like flashing a SGS and what bricks it would be:
- Installing US firmware on my EU player.
- Installing bootloaders for no reason or anything rom-wise from a SGS
- pulling the USB cable out when flashing OR closing down ODIN.
- Geting impatient and pressing/holding down buttons when still in download mode or flashing.
A few other questions:
- Is there anything else that I could do to protect it against a brick.
- As this is not a phone, can I go back to 235 if i want, just use ODIN with XXKPF 235 in PDA.
- If i do go back, Will I have to replace rjs kernel first with stock KPF kernel, then flash KPF ROM or can i just flash the rom and it will overwrite rjs.
- Googles search by voice doesnt work unless its wifi'd, as in finding something in the player like a song, a memo or contacts name, it just "connection problem" .. Is that normal, yet runs fine with wifi on.
The reason Im asking is because Kies keeps telling me there is a connection problem when i plug it in and it wont detect it.. Is this due to rjs kernel or is there another issue, just to put my mind at rest.
Thanks

I will be extra cautious if a ROM has zImage (kernel) and/or bootloader in it. The consequence of a corrupted bootloader is obvious. A corrupted kernel can be problematic because the recovery mode comes with the kernel. If you messed up the kernel, you will loss your recovery mode as well.
Actually I hope more developers will publish their ROM in CWM flashable zip rather than Odin image. Since Odin basically dump the disk image to your device, any mistakes in the process will likely corrupt your device's partitions. In contrast, CWM flashing uses high level operations like file delete and copy to install the ROM (in most cases). It is much less risky than using Odin (if the developer knows what he is doing). Just my 2 cents.
So if i delete the "zimage" in a ROM and flash it, it will only flash the ROM? Also how do i know if it has bootloaders included?
Forgot to quote you but.... Cheers WT Ho, youve put my mind at rest and Im quite happy, that after my problems above, its not the player... rjs is nice and stable and boots really fast, so Im staying on KPH 236 and gonna upgrade through ODIN, not downgrade to KPF.. Have found the issues are with Kies not the kernel being recognised, alot of posts about Kies issues on various sites and forums. SamFirmware.com is my friend.. .

You can open an Odin ROM easily by using 7-zip. If it has md5, you will encounter a warning but that's fine.
For full ROM, you will see
boot.bin
cache.rfs
dbdata.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
Basically most custom ROMs will modify your factoryfs.rfs only. If you need a new kernel, zImage is also needed. All other files are related to boot or data partition (usually not needed). Therefore many ROMs only have zImage and factoryfs.rfs in them.
Although I haven't tried that myself, I think it is possible to just put the factoryfs.rfs in the tar file. That will be similar to the Odin package of rj's kernel, you will only see the zImage in the tar file.

How to flash to Stock ICS update??

Hey guys, new here (obviously). I'm also fairly new to flashing/rooting on Android in general.
I flashed my phone to one of the leaked ICS international versions (when I boot up my phone it says "Samsung Galaxy SII GT I9100" from Gingerbread. I did this a couple of days ago. There are a few problems main one being I can't use the phone app for my phone (ironic).
So since the ICS official version for the US AT&T phone came out, I was wondering.
How can I flash my phone to the stock ICS version? Any help would be great and I hope I did not post in the wrong section :\
Thanks so much in advance guys.
Download KIES, install the proper drivers, plug in your phone, update.
Although you probably messed up your phone flashing firmware for the wrong model....
BTW, you might want to at least make an attempt to read before making a thread. There is a thread already dedicated to upgrading your phone to the official AT&T Gingercream Sandwich update
At least pretend to look like you are genuinely interested. Or you know, follow the rules you agreed to upon signing up in the forums

Boot into download mode using the standard I777 method: with phone off, hold down vol+ & vol- while plugging in USB cable. Post back what the flash counter says.

I don't think the standard method is working. Just shows the battery on screen.
and in response to the kies reply; when I plug in the phone and sync it up with kies, kies says "Your device does not support firmware upgrade through kies" or something along those lines.
In response to the other guy, I'm terribly sorry, maybe you could help by posting a link to that thread? I tried looking around seeing if there was anything related to my issue and I couldn't find anything. Forgive my noob status?
Thanks guys.
I used the method that worked though. Held down power, vol down, and home..

PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
looks like you need to read around and learn how to flash the secondary bootloader for UCKH7. It will change it back to the correct boot screen too. At least, that's what I think. I had to do it the other day after working on rooting the new LE5 stock.
Read the links in Creepy's signature.
To return your phone to I777 stock, flash the UCKH7 CL503881 stock binaries. The one-click downloader is the easiest. You will find the firmware in the Download Repository, link in my signature. This is the package that includes bootloaders and param.lfs.
Edit: I have been assuming you have the I777. This is true isn't it?
After you are at UCKH7 stock, you can use kies to update to stock ICS, or you can flash UCLE5 which is also in the Download Repository, at the bottom.
kk. I think what I'm gonna do is flash is completely back to stock gingerbread using one of his links and odin.
and plug it in through kies and see if that works to update it to ICS official.
Thanks guys! Sorry I caused such an uproar.
Thanks Creepy!! I will do just that
yes that is correct; I have the SGH-I777 At&t Samsung Galaxy S2.
It appears the one click exe that reverts my phone to stock software actually STOPS and "FAIL"s on the part where it's flashing the "cache."
My phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Fortunately when I went download mode the top right corner says SGH-I777
instead of the international version.
I've tried the one-click several times and it still does not work. :\
Any advice?
Edit: Kies is not recognizing my phone ; "device not responding"
thanks again.
Make sure you have the USB Debugging mode turned off. It took me a few minutes to figure that out when I was trying to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS via Kies earlier.
Not sure what's hanging it up. From your report, it appears that the secondary bootloader was successfully flashed. Do you recall what other steps completed before the fail?
You should be able to boot into recovery by holding vol+, vol- and pwr. Hold down until you enter recovery. Then wipe data/factory reset. Then try to flash the UCKH7 stock package without bootloaders. The link is in the return to the store guide linked in my signature. Or flash one of the stock plus root packages.
Hey thanks Creepy!
I really hate using the one-clickers, had no luck with 'em :|
I'd much rather use the blank Odin 1.85 exe I have that lets you fill in the files.
If I use that and the ---Return/Unbrick to Stock + Root: I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z (This contains the kernel, rooted system image, and modem.)--- download, what do I use for the bootloader slot or do I leave that empty?
thanks

That's a one-click downloader. If you want to flash the full package, there is a tar.md5 file in the Download Repository with everything in it, but it's all in one package, including the bootloaders, so you put it in the pda slot and it's the only file you flash.
In the Download Repository, there are also tars for Entropy512's packages which you can flash in Odin3. They are also one file tars and go in the pda slot. You can read about each one.
I'm not sure you need to flash the bootloaders again. I'd try to wipe data/factory reset and then flash a stock package without bootloaders first.
Applied the one-click with root Flash and now I'm back to gingerbread.
gonna see if I can get ICS working through kies..
looking good!!!
So my phone won't open.
I keep clicking the android but it keeps saying the google services framework has crashed.
and it won't connect to kies..
any ideas?

I guess you just drop that file onto the phone using file explorer and USB connection,
then go into recovery to update via cwm?

[ROM][ODIN] SM-N900P NAB (NAB Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

First, a HUGE thanks goes to @garwynn for being my partner through all of this and then to @sfhub for teaching me how to create an Odin One-Click.exe, @freeza for posting the original TAR this is based off of, @MoHoGalore for helping test and put together so many of these one-clicks and to everyone else in our community who makes this possible!
Second, I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of restoring a stock factory build for our Note 3 users. I do not own a Note 3 so I have not been able to test this as I would normally prefer to do before releasing. I do however feel comfortable that it should work as designed. Due to the fact that we do not have a Note 3 to be testing it on, at this time neither myself or Garwynn are planning on releasing a rooted One-Click. There is a lot more risk involved when building the rooted versions and we don't want to take that risk with other people's phones.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock SM-N900P NAB Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock NAB experience, similar to a factory restore and it will probably wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the NAB Stock ROM One-Click.
SM-N900P NAB Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe" was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
Android Instructions:
Download and install ZArchiver on your phone. Use it to unpack the Odin One-Click 7zip self-extracting exe file (long press on the 7zip exe. Select "Open As Archive". Select the One-Click.exe and then select Extract). Use Mobile Odin to Open File on the "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". FYI - Modem will not flash with Mobile Odin.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore NAB build!

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to but I'll let some of our N3 owners chime in just in case.

Lol someone got caught not reading the OP!
I'm not saying we won't do a rooted one but it's not in the cards right now. There's too many things that could go wrong and we just don't feel comfortable doing them without a device to test it on. We'll see what the future brings though!
worked fine coming from 4.3 Jellybomb rom didnt wipe data either
How to root after I install this? Thanks.

Saved the day.
I don't know what I did wrong, I flashed the engineered bootloader, Freeza's "stockish" NABD and it worked (sorta). Phone was freezing about every 3 minutes, wifi wouldn't remember my connection info, and the baseband was still showing MJ4. I wasn't panicked yet, but I was feeling pretty stupid about my lack of patience. You have no idea how comforting it was to see your thread.
Everything worked fine. Lost root, but it didn't wipe data (a good thing as it turned out). Easily re-rooted and phone hasn't froze or rebooted once since flashing.
Thanks for the effort. Much appreciated. This is a great alternative for anyone that hasn't already flashed, or missed a step somewhere and wasn't totally sure where to start to correct.
Thank You!

The OP says that this will probably wipe data. Can anyone else confirm that this DOESN'T wipe data?

[ROM][ODIN][OC] SM-G900P NI3 (Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

First, thank you to the anonymous source who provided us with this build and thank you to @garwynn for posting it here.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock NI3 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock NI3 experience, similar to a factory restore and it may wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the NI3 Stock ROM One-Click.
http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=938 (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the SM-G900P_NI3_Stock_Unrooted.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SM-G900P_NI3_Stock_Unrooted.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and select Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G/Spark logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore NI3 build!

Been doing a lot of reading/research as I'm new to the Samsung game. But I've been every else besides Sony. I read your unpack tutorial on your website, and jumped all over reading unpacking how-to's. Seems to me the recommended an easiest way to create a "no-wipe" package is via SplitFUS2. Most of what I've read is for older devices, and I was wondering if that's the way you recommend doing it, and if you know whether or not it works with S5 packages?
Will normal root process work on it. I'm tempted to do it only cause I want the modem

My guess is you're referring to my tutorials on how to build your own flashable TAR?
Honestly I've never used the SplitFUS2 utility so I can't give you a 100% answer there. However, what I can tell you is that Samsung devices use one of two methods to wipe a device when flashing a TAR. Generally the method involves wiping a partition and overwriting it with a partition file included in the TAR. There are several different partitions and each of them governs a different aspect of the device's functionality. There is generally a specific file that governs the data partition, once you extract the TAR you would then recompile it without the data partition file and flash the final resulting TAR.
The other is script based and that area I'm not an expert on. My BFF @garwynn is pretty good though and might be able to walk you through fixing the scripts if necessary.
Now one other thing to keep in mind is that this thread is for a one-click not the actual TAR. There are ways to decompile an Odin one-click but I would recommend just using the original TAR which can be downloaded in @garwynn's original TAR thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=2885005
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I was talking about your "How-To" on your site, and I replied there too. It was very helpful and informative. I found Splitfus2 doesn't seem to work with KitKat, only JB and before. After getting everything ready to go to try your method, extracting the files from the TAR, etc. I found the Kitkat file names differ a bit from the JB ones, according to the TAR BALL flashing order you have listed on your site. Which shouldn't matter since all I need to make is a stock system and recovery TAR. Assuming I use the method you have posted, only making a separate system and recovery TAR, a data wipe shouldn't happen......correct? Only other thing I'm not sure of is after extracting the files from the original TAR, the system is in system.ext4.img...... I assume I leave that the way it is, correct? Only time I've seen it that way is when extracting a system.img and converting it to a flashable rom.
When is the script wipe used? I'm pretty good with scripts. Thanks for your time and help, it's greatly appreciated!

I flashed, then rooted with cfroot. My Knox was already tripped before flashing this. Not sure what you mean by repercussions, but flashing this should not trip Knox, its the cfroot part that would.

When you say "no repercussions" what exactly are you looking for?

Meaning problems after the rom has settled Like System UI, Context Issues,ECT.
Rwilco12 I fully trust your work and thank you and all whom have helped . I am as one could say very apprehensive about changing complete systems. Roms and modems. I was in no way referencing this to and thing bad.

Bottom line is I am going for it even though Android "L" will be here first week of November.
Been following you since the Epic Touch days..... anywho, any chance of getting some love for the S5 Sport? Thx!

Service at my house literally went from 1 bar to 2, YMMV. I did switch to the bmfr cm11 build a day after flashing this, service has remained the same.
recovery
thanks so much for posting this - been trying to find an easy way to odin back to stock after trying a few ROMs.
Will this also take us back to stock recovery or does it only do the system/rom part? if not, do you know how to get back to stock recovery?
thanks so much!
hi is there a ni3 modem with out system i can flash?
Serious Problem
i downloaded this on my dads new s5, just an hour old.
Flashed in odin, now im getting the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error message.
i tried going on to sammobile and downloading sprint stock firmware and flashing that, but odin is rejecting it.
theres also a bunch of versions on sam mobiles site, so im downloading 2 more versions, 1 from april and 1 from june (NCD & NE5)
could it be because im running odin on windows xp vmware thats making odin not take the tar file?
also, i dont know what version im coming from, the only thing i remember seeing when i allowed it into developer mode is that it was on 4.4.2.
please help!!!!
XP under VMware. Yeah, probably asking for trouble.

[Odin][Odin Flashable - Bootloader/Modem][G900TUVS1FOL1]Updated 2/1/16

Made this for myself, and noticed other people wanting it. If you are in anyway unsure of what your doing, please don't flash Odin packages. I'm not on here all that often to answer questions, so please refer to aaricchavez's thread as I'm sure the same questions will be asked.
I was able to flash by pulling the battery, then vol-dwn + home + pwr. Choose vol-up for downloader and flash. Worked on the second try. See screenshots bellow.
What you do to your phones on you, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP
Updates seem to work best after a shutdown and battery pull. If camera stops working, clear your caches and reboot.
Flashable in Odin:
Bootloader/BL:

Phone/CP:

I have tried numerous times to install bootloader but it stays on dob1. I got the modem just fine. Don't understand why

I've tried updating my bootloader& modem as well as the firmware in Odin 3.09 & 3.10 & all it keeps doing is failing can someone PLZ help
The only way I've been able to flash the last few modems and bootloaders is by pulling the battery, and even then It may take a few times. DOB1 took me 4 or 5 times.
And if your wondering, the modems a huge improvement. At least for me anyways. I'm up in the hills of the SF east bay and got very spotty LTE before, no longer an issue.
Could I use flashfire to flash the boot and modem?
Edit, I know it's possible to flash full firmwares but not sure about boot and modem

Can I flash just the modem if I'm already rooted using a CM12 ROM (Temasek unofficial)?
Does flashing a full stock ROM immediately update the bootloader and modem?

Yup. On rare occasion partitions respond in strange ways to odin flashing, ie. partitions other than what you're flashing become unwriteable. But for the most part that's a rarity.

Depends on your existing version, and the version your upgrading to, but with rare exception yes.

As of 10/10/15 FOG6 is, I just uploaded.
thanks for this. just realized today there was an update.. only a one letter difference, took a while to realize it!
can someone upload the new one?
Just wanted to add this. Was having a hard time flashing BL and CP
1. removed the sd card (tmobile thing I read somewhere)
2. took off the md5 off the file name so it was just a .tar file
3. put both files in to oden 3.11 and on the first flash had auto reboot NOT checked, then pulled the USB cable and pulled Battery.
4. then booted to download mode with cable in and and battery in and reflashed with auto reboot checked.
I installed omega rom v20 and I had a bootloop because I didnt have a 6.x.x bootloader and modem.
I came from 4.x.x and I almost just installed a stock 6.x.x to get the updated BL and CP, then root that.
I have had good luck with omega, but I use TB to clean out all the Samsung stuff. I purchased the App for $7, worth every penny.
