Odin on multiple PC's?

Is it ok to use Odin on multiple computers because I don't have my laptop which I originally used too root my epic and I want to flash CM9 but I need to restore. So is it ok to install the drivers on my PC and restore on the PC? Thanks!

You can use odin from whatever windows pc you'd like as long as you have your drivers installed.

Absolutely. I have it on three different machines. Two home one laptop at office. Just make sure you have the drivers for the device loaded first. AND have a GOOD USB cable.

Thanks very much guys!

Can I use Linux with odin?, I use Fuduntu as my main pc it's an Ubuntu type distro, as I have to borrow a windows device everytime I use Kies, my other machine is a Google Chromebook and I don't think it will work there but I'm looking in to it??

Heimdall is an open-source cross-platform tool similar to odin that is reported to work on linux. Options for linux are .deb binaries or sources you compile yourself.
You can also dd image files with adb.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you want to though. It's not hard to brick your phone using these tools.

I believe kies is to be uninstalled before using ODIN.

That's not correct. I use Odin everyday and certainly do not uninstall Kies first. OP, have you tried different ports on your pc? Try them all. Another thing I read, if you are on a 64 bit machine, try creating a 32 bit virtual and doing it from there(last resort). Try doing it from a Windows XP computer(if not already). And try to flash back completely to stock, unrooted, and start again. See if any of those help.

Are you trying to root in download mode or with the phone turned on?

root
It is in download mode. I heard people had this problem before but found no real answer.

Your are using the *.tar? Or you unzipped it?
Also try reinstalling drivers. Connect it turned on, let the PC recognize it. Then do do the same in download mode. Then disconnect the phone, open Odin an try again.

When you're using Odin does it turn yellow showing your phone is connected?
Make sure all drivers are installed and you're using Odin 1.85.

@210euser Thanks ...drivers are good. Windows 8.1 can see the phone and odin also...
I will try Odin 1.85 but I used 3.07 when I rooted the phone after I bought it...?
I think I used Odin 3.07 a year ago...?

I'm having the same issue... I have SGH-i317m.
4.3 bootloader kept failing and my phone wouldn't boot anymore, so I used the same ODIN to revert back to the 4.1.2 bootloader..
So since, I reverted my phone back, I know the ODIN works and I have the necessary drivers installed.. any idea?
I've attached a screenshot of the situation right now.. I've already tried 5 times and they all failed.

I"m still trying myself... I think it s Win 8.1... no usb hub drivers for samsung even though I installed KIES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303046
OK I uninstalled KIES... re installed it and selected also include universal driver and hub drivers are there . Then used Odin 1.85 and boot loader went threw

So you got the 4.3 bootloader to work? Could you perhaps upload the tar file that you used to flash?
I'm starting to think that my tar file is the issue... bc I tried installing the drivers with Kies as well, and still no luck..

Yes it worked...don't know why.. The file was from Miscoms stainless rom. but I don't see it there. The DN3 Ditto post has the file there.

what OS are you using on PC? if win 8.1 i'have the same problem.
connecting in normal mode the phone is recognized while in odin mode don't work and receive an error message "impossible to enumerate device"
tried on netbook with Windows 8 all works fine using same Samsung driver 1.5.29
i think there is same kind of bug or incompatibility.
one solution could be installing on virtual machine Windows xp but i haven't tried

The problem may indeed be the computer's OS. I had the same problem and I was running a VM with Windows 8.1. Tried again with Windows 7 native and everything worked as normal... I mean... I did get another problem (which was getting my phone stuck in boot loop) but according to ODIN's log the phone was flashed normally.

If you have boot loop,go to recovery and first try wipe cache,if the problem still exists,wipe data.
