Hi guys,
is there any really step by step for dummies guide, where i can learn exactly how to upgrade to 6.0.1 using Odin? I've googled a lot, and havent found anything usable for unexperienced user like me. There are a lot guides, but never with the EXACT files you need and exactly where to put them in Odin. I really dont want to brick my phone, so i need that and I think a lot of other users would appreciate it as well.
Please help

It depends on what you want. Do you just want to update to MM? No root or recovery?
If that is so, then follow these steps (watch this video first):
1- Do a backup (you can use smartswitch since you must not have root)
2-Check usb debbuging on devoleper options
3-Verify Security->Find My Mobile->Reactivation lock is unchecked
4-Get the firmware for your device (I can't tell you the exact file unless you specify your device, and the version and country you want it from)
5-Get odin v3.10.7
6-On odin, put the firmware on the AP option
7-Boot into recovery and wipe the cache (I would recommend factory reset + cache)

thanks for reply! I rooted my device (SM-G925F) so i have to use odin.. I heard you have to change the bootloader first, when you want to upgrade to MM? That's my main goal. The recovery, root and xposed is the next step of course
Im on 5.0.2. Can i download 6.0.1 sammobile firmware and flash it via Odin (in AP) without change the bootloader?

You don't need to do nothing with the bootloader.. I just flashed XEU 6.0.1 on my 925f with odin. Everything is perfect

Hello,
First of all, i looked over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and looked at the firmwares, and decided to flash one of them which is the "JPKG5"
I just have some simple questions
1) Does Odin3 need my phone rooted?
2) If i finish with the flash does it wipe my data or does it leave it untouched?
3) Is flashing the firmware and kernel the only things that are needed to be done to be able to work?
Thnx
1) Nope
2) Depends on the ROM you flash, some do, some don't
3) Yep
Thanks A Lot for the fast reply
but in the firmware page i posted earlier i read this
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended

so i guess i dont have to worry about #2

Hi
I have rooted my SGS3 using the ALLINONE root from SGS3 Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488) and it works fine. About a month ago I got a notice about a firmware update and I installed it using kies. The root ofcause dissappeared but I used the toolkit to re-root the device. No problem so far.
a few days ago I got a new notice about another firmware update and wanted to install it using kies. Now however kies tells me that the device does not support upgrading (something with "initialising").
What can I do to get this firmware update installed?

Flashing stock rom wipes your settings. Make a choice, either get root and forget about Samsung updates or flash stock and forget about XDA, can`t have it both
Moved to Q/A
I am not in it for the ROMs but merely for the rooting. In general I like the stock-rom as it is but do need to have the device rooted in order to use some apps.

Last time, once you have root you can no longer install OTA`s, you can however upgrade witk Kies provided you have no custom kernel. You will loose root and you may loose all your settings. So it will be easier for you to download the new rom from sammobile and install it with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root and loose no settings and files.
I have the same doubts/problems...
Where do I find in SamMobile the ROMs? Are those the zip under OTA files?
Do I the use Odin? Is there a guide somewhere? (I did search and ended up in this post)
Cheers
P.S. I read on SamMobile something about not being flashable via recovery (correct?)
See my signature item 3 or 4 about Odin

Based on my experience you can take an update via Kies or OTA with root as long as the stock rom remains intact (no major mods). I have generally upgraded with a stock kernel. I have mostly lost root or at least had to fix permissions each time.
The settings have remained intact each time (titanium should take care of this any way)

You can download OTA`s but you can not install it as you have a custom recovery.
You can upgrade with Kies but you`ll loose root and you have to reroot it.
If you install the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro you`ll upgrade and keep root, that is what i`am trying to say

Cool ... I should have mentioned I have always had a stock recovery if sticking with stock Rom. Because as you say the updates don't work with non stock recovery
Hi!
I wake up today and find my phone freeze in the start logo! I tried to restart it but it was the same.
http : // im67 . gulfup . com / IiIc2R . jpg
After I tried everything I decide to format the phone with "wipe date/factory reset" but there was a problem!
And this is what I got>>
http : // im67 . gulfup . com / GSmiOr . jpg
I tried to do something using Kies porgram. But it said it is not supported.
Any thought?
Firstly, check the FAQ thread. You'll find information on flashig a custom recovery, after which you can flash a custom ROM. Kies won't help you as it'll only update your phone, which it can't, since there aren't any updates, and apparently it won't even recognize your phone.
Try flashing a custom recovery/root with Odin, then flash a custom ROM via recovery mode. All of this can be found in the FAQ which I have linked to. You may not want a rooted phone, but it's a lot easier to work with.
And if you really mind having a rooted phone, for warranty issues or otherwise, you could also unroot, flash a stock ROM, and reset your flash counter, so it'll all be as it was when you bought your phone. Again, all this is in the FAQ thread.

First of all, thanks for replay.
Even so I don't have so much knowledge with most of that stuff I tried to flash my phone according to the link you give me.
I download 5 or 6 firmwares and try to flash it with Odin but all I got was failed failed failed.
If there are specific steps I can go through, it will be great help

Please dont take this a stupid question imjust such a noob...
Well i installed cm11 on my s3 and it is now successfully running on 4.4.4 BUT for some strange reason i have the urge to go back to stock (Yes I know theres a whole thread about it and all but it seems a bit too long for me to do and also dont know how to relock bootloader?..)
Well anyways i came across this stock 4.3 Firmware file that can apparently be flashed through CWM so all i need to know is if i can flash it without a brick (considering right now im on 4.4.4/Potentially Unlocked bootloader) i dont want to go back to complete stock just the OS needs to be.
It also apparently comes with a modem?...
(My baseband is the same as the thread says)

Please post a link to the rom you would like to flash so i can help verify for you
The international vesion of the s3 does not come with a locked bootloader, you either have a different s3 model or read some wrong info.
As MrKhola said please lay out all spec/info with what you plan to do.
If you do indeed have the i9300 this is the thread you need.

Don't be afraid, what would you like help with or explained?
If flashing a 4.3 'stock' ROM (through CWM as this file is made for it) will brick my phone if I'm running CM11 4.4.4.
It also comes with a modem kernel etc.
Its best to do it on odin, follow from step number 3-wipe device in the link i provided you. Read and understand a couple of times to make sure you understand them and you will be alright, going to stock is easy and alot less hassles than going to the other way.
Although the CWM way seems easier to me I'll try your way soon.
Is it wipe data/factory reset in cwm?

Yes, Remember to back up first
Edit: Did some research for another user and it seems you can flash stock files through recovery so I believe you can try it this way first.
After much deliberation decided to go with my first method and its worked!
For anyone wondering:
1) Download the file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/dump-stock-i9300xxugmk6-t2563562
2) Install latest Philz recovery as for some reason normal CWM doesn't install properly
3) Wipe Data , Wipe Cache , then format /system
4) Install ZIP and your done!

No probs, and i learned something aswell
Download the following package and flash step 1 with Odin 3.07 u most likely will have to change the file extension from md5 to tar, the phone will then fail to boot with an error, restart download mode then Odin flash step 2 and your phone will be rooted http://mediafire.com/?2uuje4isd2mwdwb
Firstly fantastic news, well done and thank you very much Ive bee searching and searching for a method to root my phone
Just a few questions first please:
Does it have to be odin 3.07? (I already have 3.09 here)
I'm assmuing the phone is put into download mode for both steps?
Where in odin do I load the individual steps? (pda both times?) Do I leave only auto-reboot and F.reset time ticked?
Finally does it matter which rom I start from?
My current is the stock rom:
SM-G357FZ BTU G357FZXXU1ANH7 Android 4.4.4 20.08.2014 107691
downloaded from samsung updates and flashed with odin 3.09
and am I right in thinking that if somehow it results in a soft brick I'll be able to reflash the above stock rom?
loads of thanks in advance
It doesn't matter which Rom, both times pda, don't tick anything just leave those 2 things ticked, 3.09 might work u cud try it, n yer flash em both 1 at a time, any more probs let me kno
Congratulations! Root access is properly installed on this device!
