There's no custom recovery options if you're on OC1 bootloader, but you do have options for root/flashing. OC1 is rootable with KingRoot on the desktop. If you want to flash roms from there (or xposed), you need to use FlashFire.
Thanks for providing this. I was rooted but I wanted to flash the latest stock firmware that would allow me to root again if I change my mind. I attempted to download OC1 from Sammobile but it was taking way too long. In the meantime while waiting for the download I found this post. I downloaded it here, flashed it and went through the initial setup of my phone. At this time the file is still downloading from Sammobile. I'm letting it to continue just to see how long it takes.
Can you post the pit file?
This is what it should look like: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111 You should be able to take the .tar.md5 file and unzip it using 7-zip and pull out the .pit file. You'll need to unzip the tar.md5 anyway so you can get to the PDA(or AP) file.

Hey guys so I am interested in flashing the simply honey revolution ROM on my samsung vibrant. But I am stuck. The instructions call for you to flash via Odin with the 512 PIT file. But when I download the light version for first flash in the instructions I find a .tar file. How do I flash this rom? Thanks for your help!
I have the same question, since I am used to work on the EVO 4G but not this phone. Any help will be appreciated. I already flashed a gingerbread bootloader, but I still need to flash this ROM.
Put the tar file in the pda and pit in the pit section.
just use that file but open PDA selection. it will flash it. also make sure you odin a gingerbread boot loader first.
Ok, understanding a little bit more. Right know I have the zip and the tar file inside that one. I don't have any Pit file mentioned. Also in the instrutions doesn't say if the phone needs to be in download mode or whatever mode. Thanks for any other info.
It should be in download mode to use ODIN.
Okay let me see if I have this process correct. From the page I download this http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z from under the instructions coming from eclair/froyo. Inside I see the .tar file. (not a .pit file). In ODIN i put the .tar file under PDA and click start. Once that is done I can download the bootloader and flash that via ODIN. Is this correct?
yeh
or you could use rom manager to flash whichever package you want after odining the light version instead of flashing the bootloaders
dont do it
I just went through hell flashing that rom and even BRICKED my phone. (well semi-brick, none of the buttons worked) I made the same mistake as you. Dont use the Simply_Honey_3.8_LightOdin file, use the one that is named simply_ODIN_HEIM . The light odin is bull****. Didnt work for me. I dont even want to guess why...
Good Luck!
Remember to open the .zip and extract the .tar, zip's cant be flashed in odin
DO NOT FLASH IF YOUR ON MDK AND WISH TO RETAIN YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY! THIS WILL REMOVE THE LOKI EXPLOIT!
This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUEMK2. This is the stock factory image. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason and this Odin tar doesn't work I suggest using the VRUEMJ7 factory image instead. VRUAMDK, VRUAME7, and VRUEMJ7 stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over, VRUDMI1 wrote over 13 partitions, VRUEMJ7 also contained a pit file. However I've included both the full-wipe and no-wipe Odin tar.md5's for VRUEMK2 and in the no-wipe VRUEMK2, only 12 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain persdata.img.ext4 or sbl1.mbn. The full-wipe (KIES factory image) VRUEMK2 Odin tar contains 14 partitions and its own PIT file as well and will completely wipe your device and re-partition it to factory stock
For the sake of simplicity, I've also included a mirror to the MJ7 "emergency" Full-wipe Odin tar as well. Download it here
Also incase you have MDK here's a link to the full-wipe Odin tar Download it here

What are the dangers of using the no-wipe file? I'm doing this for my gf's phone so I'm not used to the S4, sorry. The phone is currently on ME7, I had previously rooted it and de-bloated the stock rom. I've already unrooted in preparation for updating to MK2. If I can preserve her files in the process that would be great but I'm not sure if my having de-bloated some of the unnecessary system apps will cause any problems. Thanks.

No-wipe reinstalls the contents of the stock ROM, but does not delete your persistent data or applications. Anything that you deleted from the stock ROM is restored and anything you "froze" is defrosted. In most cases, that's enough to let the OTAs complete.
Dangers? If you unplug during rooting, lose power, or something else happens, the flash can fail. Those circumstances are usually recoverable because it's damn near impossible to overwrite the bootloader so there's always something there to help you recover from an oops.
Worked awesome, thank you

If the full wipe fails, but generally this download wont be needed unless your partitions are messed up. The full wipe above should be all thats needed for most if not then download this odin tar Its not the same Odin tar you downloaded earlier. Extract the zip and there will be 4 tar.md5 files and a PIT file. Put them in the appropriate areas in Odin 3.09 and if it goes through and tries to reboot, don't let it reboot the /system instead make it boot to recovery first and wipe cache/factory reset then let it boot up.
This will work better if done with Heimdall. Google how to use Heimdall because I use Heimdall on Linux and don't know how Heimdall works on Windows.

I could use some assistance. My friend's VZW S4 was rooted on MI7. I had done that for him. He wanted to update, so I downloaded the MK2 no-wipe odin file from this thread. I checked the MD5 on the zip (it was good), extracted the tar file, and attempted to flash. At first, Odin kept telling me the phone was being disconnected/reconnected. The cable was good, but it failed regardless. On further attempts to flash the tar, it would get to the end of the system img and fail. I was trying to go from MI7 to MK2, should it shouldn't be incompatible. The MD5 was good. I tried to re-odin MI7, but it's failing with " [auth] ". I'll try going all the way back to ME7 and OTA'ing up to MK2 THEN re-rooting, but in the mean time: how could I have avoided this?
So I have the full wipe ODIN downloaded and I'm using v3.09.. Do I still need to extract the .pit file if I downloaded it seperately or can I just load the .pit file and the .tar file and be fine to start the process?
EDIT: I answered that myself. Process went flawless and my phone went from unusable to working again.
Nice!
Worked great Surge! Thank you for all that you do for this device, it is appreciated!
Do I put my phone into recovery or download mode to odin the fullwipe?

Unless you have mdk, the only recovery you can use is safestrap. And it sounds like you didn't have it. You'll need to flash the full wipe nc5 tar file through Odin and start fresh. From there you can download towelroot to gain root, Safestrap 3.72/3.75, and busybox. You will also need the selinux changer from the play store and set to permissive before using safestrap. From there, you'll be good to go. Just look for roms that are safestrap compatible and flash away
thank you
Thank you, i am downloading it now, says 1.5 GB FULL WIPE.

Total newbie question here.
I'm in the same boat
How do I flash it through Odin?
Which options on the left and right side of Odin 3.09 should be selected?
Do I keep the zip intact?
Which button on o din 3.09 should I select?
I tried selecting the zip through the ap button but that didn't work.

When you open up odin, there should be 2 items already checked: auto reboot and f. reset time. Leave those checked. If the file extension is .zip, unpack it because you need the .tar file. Make sure you click the AP slot then find the tar file you extracted. Once you're ready to start, double check to make sure those are the ONLY 3 things that have check marks. Then click start. Really important, once you start, don't stop it. You can Jack up your phone doing that.
You either need to convert an image file ".img" to a ".tar" file OR just grab the correct ".tar" file.
Then within Odin, select the file from the "AP" box and only have the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" selected within the options.
If the zip file has 1 single .img file then extract and convert and use in Odin.
If the zip file has 1 single .tar file then extract and your all set to use the file in Odin.
If the zip file has some folder's and files (IE... META-INF, System, boot.img, etc...) then this is for installing from within the Recovery of the Bootloader in your phone.
For Converting the .img to a .tar file, i use a program called "Caboomi's Recovery .img to .tar File Converter" (ATTACHED)
Extract the file i attached and place the .img inside the converter's folder. Be sure to rename the file to "Recovery.img" and launch the "Runme.bat" file.
The converter instantly creates a tar file named "recovery.tar.md5".
The "recovery.tar.md5" file is ready for use in Odin.
Good Luck!:fingers-crossed:

Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop.
Cheers!

The simplest way to explain 4 file is in Odin, there are 4 firmware slots. The "4 File .rar package" has the correct file for each slot in Odin to flash. Example, extract the .rar package you (might have) downloaded, and you will see 4 .tar files and the pit file. So the BL_xxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_HOME.tar file would go in the BL slot in Odin.
Combo is basically all of those files that would be in the 4 .tar archives put into one. If you choose to download this file, the .tar package must be flashed though the AP slot in Odin.
And the .PIT file would go under the PIT tab in Odin.
If you don't want to lose your data while flashing, you can do this:
-Don't use the pit file in Odin
--or--
-If you chose to download the 4 file firmware, don't flash the CSC file and don't use the pit file.
--or--
-if you chose to download the combo firmware, you can use 7zip (I recommend downloading it onto your pc if you don't have it already) to extract the archive and delete cache.img.ext4, then repack the remaining files (Except the pit file) into a new .tar archive.
Cheers!

Open Odin and look to the right of the window, you will see 4 buttons, named "BL" "AP" "CP" and "CSC"
Extract the respective 4 file firmware from the downloaded .rar package to your desktop or downloads folder and open the folder once completed.
From there, you can insert the 4 .tar files into Odin. Once in Odin, click on the BL slot and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted files. Once there, select the tar file with the letters BL at the very beginning, and vice versa.
Example: BL_G850AUCU1BOC6_G850AATT1BOC6_LRX22G_HOME.tar (which is the bootloader files for lollipop firmware) would go under the BL slot in Odin.
Screenshot: https://mega.nz/#!2pZlGboI!M5YA2RGn0ufZ_bdVIFg6AD3xIH3iHg00JrAgHoo0OP8
If you downloaded the combo (all in one) firmware package, extract everything in the .rar file and place the .tar package under the AP slot in Odin, and if you want to perform a clean reset, make sure the .PIT file is under the PIT tab then PIT slot in Odin and make sure that "NAND Erase All" and "Re-Partition" is checked under the 'Options' tab.

I have disconnected the phone in the morning and not started, then I installed the bootloader (of lolipop) alone and it is doing well.

Try booting your phone into download mode then reflash the Lollipop bootloader in Odin (BL File goes under the BL slot for 4 file). If you are not wanting to wipe your data, and if you downloaded the 4 file firmware, you can simply reflash the lollipop bootloader files then afterwards go back into download mode then reflash the AP and CP file. The actual bootloader in the phone does allow the flashing of different firmware versions for the device so it sounds like a small bootloader issue.

You also said that Odin was stuck on something during flash. Do you know what file was it stuck on (What file it said at the top left-hand corner of the Odin window)?

Try a different usb port on your computer, and if the same thing happens, try a different usb cable or switch the ports again.
No roots available still for g850a?There are other sites showing a root method
Is it possible to root if the g850a is flashed back to kit kat? has any one tried to flash the TWRP recovery available on their website for the slte? is that only for the exynos version? and possible try rooting throgh there?

The G850A Has a locked bootloader, therefore, cannot run TWRP or any custom kernel or recovery.
