[Q] Odin type confirm? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Alright I'm trying to get my sisters phone working right with a new custom ROM and root and all but...Odin is killin me...I've downloaded it from two different sources and every time it opens it says something like Odin.int[][][][] then I click ok and it crashes every time. The Odin I have downloaded is V1.85 and I have an older Odin for my vibrant that works (v1 of odin3), can I use that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

After u download odin click on download extract odin then start odin. Shouldnt crash. The whole odin package needs to be extracted to work. Learned that the hard way back then

I've used Odin slot for my vibrant so I've got that far but after I extract the file that Odin.into[][][][] is what it gives me...I just need to know if I can use an older version of Odin on the sgs2

[Q] Stock Rom in Zip Format

Hello,
Can someone help me find a link to a working stock unrooted rom in a zip format. I need to flash it and do not have access to a windows computer but all the files that I have found are no longer working links. I need this by tomorrow I have to take my phone to Sprint due to an issue with my hardware.
Thank you,
You said no access to Windows PC - how about ANY PC, including Mac/Linux? If so you can use Heimdall.
If not, how about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459529&highlight=el29
mobile odin is what you are looking for. Check it out in the market. You can flash .tar files from your phone.
I do have a Mac and I have used heimdall to flash kernel many times but I have never used it to flash roms and I do not know how to do it. I will look into the mobile odin.
Is it safe to flash full rom tar files through mobile Odin?

Hello guys, I am still having problems finding a stock eg30 or el29 in a zip format to flash in recovery. I tried using a windows computer to use the one click root but it stops working about 20 seconds in.
Thank you all in advance.

Can you provide any more information on the problem that you're having? Might also help to know what you're currently running and if there are any issues beyond the ODIN OC problems mentioned.
I am running a calkulin 1.0 because I was relying to find a rom that at least looks stock. I have tried Odin and all it does to my phone is leave a message to connect to Kies for recovery. I reflash a kernel and fix it but all it seems to take is flashing using recovery.

Did you try the stock rom in the link I provided before? You should be able to do that by CWM.
Use mobile Odin and flash the tar files here ....

That is the generic behavior if an ODIN flash does not complete.
What does the log say in ODIN OC?
That will give insight into why it is failing.
You can also take the ODIN OC files (or the individual .tar.md5 in the 2nd post of the ODIN OC threads) and feed them to Mobile ODIN (after unpacking the 7zip self extractors)
That link just seems to be modems not rooms.

I tried and same thing it passes in Odin and then when rebooting it gets hung up on the black screen with the white "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen.
Please help I dont know what else to do or what else to try?
I didnt remove the md5 off of the file like one person said to do mainly because im not sure how to but other than that I am lost
Is there something i was supposed to do with the dll file that came with it as well? I mean i have to be doing something wrong i just dont understand why its saying pass but is still hanging up at that galaxy s3 screen right after the samsung screen?
I am so in need of help
I too am having the same issue, and I have tried all the stock ODIN roms.
I am stuck on the samsung screen too. Any one have any ideas? I just tried to flash CM10 today, when I have been on CM9 since the beginning of July, so... long story short I could not get back to CWM after CM10 boot looped me.
Any help?
Thanks!

When you download either one..its a zip file. I used 7zip to extract the tar file and used ODIN to flash it. So I'm lost when you say you changed the file name. Shouldnt have to do that.

No I know I did the same exact thing. Someone else said that he deleted the md5 extension at the end after the tar to get it to work I have done it both ways doesn't make a difference. I can still get to Odin mode as well as stock recovery just can't boot...

If 3e is the factory recovery i have already tried that multiple times.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FIXED IT....
OK if anyone else runs into this what i did was change two things and one of the two worked. FIrst of all I had been using the newest Odin 3.0.7 I downloaded Odin 3.0.4 instead and tried that. The other thing was I used the older Samsung ATT Image which was the i747UCALEM image rather than the newest one.
I noticed right off the bat in Odin it said PASS in green as soon as it was done where as before it would reboot the phone before saying PASS. So I watched my phone reboot and get pass that darn Galaxy screen and about laid a flipping GOLDEN egg! LOL

Can anyone explain to me why the OP was having problems, now that the solution has been identified?
I'd like to understand issues like this before flashing myself.
Thanks.
He was using a newer version of ODIN (3.0.7)...so he tried an older version (3.0.4) and it worked.

[Q] How to switch from CM10 to stock jellybean

So I'm giving my wife my galaxy s3 since I'm getting the nexus 4. I was running CM10 and she does not like cm10 and prefers touchwiz. So how do I safely go to the official tmobile jellybean update without bricking the phone. Need help been searching the forums all night. Thanks

Just flash the .zip if you want to stay rooted or you can odin which sometimes loses root. All you would have to do is flash recovery then flash the .zip with root injected to recover.

So I tried to flash the stock deodexed in cwm and it installed but I was stuck at the black samsung boot up screen. Is there like a step by step method of doing this. I'm still new to the whole odin thing and dont quite understand it.
Did you Odin back to stock? Or did you flash the .zip? There was two files on that thread I linked you to. The top one was an Odin file. The bottom one was the .zip to flash.
To use Odin DL the file then unzip the .tar and Odin it.

NP man. I was switching back and forth between ICS and jb and realized it was not only messing my SD card up but I had glitches galore on my jb ROMs. I reformatted my sdcard and Odin back to stock jb and have been running jb every since. I had a hard time understanding the process of Odin then flashing the ROM that was already rooted.

Bricked?

Hello, so today i was getting a play market error so i decided to flash another recovery, as mine is the earliest versions of TWRP, so i went ahead and flashed it with Odin. It was successful, but wouldn't boot into recovery. So i went ahead and tried to flash another recovery and now it says NAND write fail. Is it bricked ?
It still boots to 4.2.2 AOSP, but i have no root so can't flash recovery.
I AM OFFICIALLY SCREWED !
After getting out of download mode, it wouldnt boot anymore. Firmware upgrade issue. !
I would say buy a usb jig from eBay. Much faster and cheaper than anything else. It forces the phone to go to download mode and from then you can go to Odin and flash stock.

Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
Install with ODIN.
Steps to follow........
Method #1 -
Place file in PDA box*
Uncheck all other boxes.
Press start.
When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.
Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.
Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.
Method #2 -
The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:
Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*
Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.
Start the installation and let the phone reboot.
I believe Method #2 is the method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1is recommended.
Here is an explanation why:

Need help ASAP

So my friend ran into my house and gave me his note 2, here's the situation. An unrooted Note 2 was connected to Odin root package, and the wrong file was entered in the PDA slot (an md5 sum notepad file or something like that). Anyways the error message is coming up says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I can hold down volume down and power and get into recovery still. Should I just connect odin and throw a file into the PDA slot and try to unroot it, if it even is rooted yet. Im not familiar with the Note 2 specifically since I don't actually own one, but thats the method I would have followed with my S2 which is effectively identical. What file should I download to throw in the PDA slot, a link would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Yeah I love QBKing I'm watching it right now aha. In this link http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...-L900)/Stock ROMs/MA7/Nodata Restore/Unrooted which file do I put in Odin, the .exe file or the tar.md5
I'd go tar. Exe is an executable file so you probably won't need Odin as it comes with it I believe.

Okay the phone can access recovery and CWM but won't boot now. How do I flash a ROM without being able to transfer onto the phone's SD card. There's a way to do this via Odin right?
