I'm a modem flashaholic but am getting ready to switch to a Kernel without CWM. I've got all my modems in Zips and never have any problem flashing them.
In preparation for my switch I downloaded all the E4GT modems in TAR files. I then bought Mobile Odin. I ran a test flash to make sure I had it working correctly. Here's the steps I took (just in case it matters):
1) Load Mobile Odin.
2) Select Open File
3) Navigate to proper TAR file and select it (I've tried it from internal and SD Card, both load into the Modem slot on Mobile Odin correctly).
4) Select Flash firmware.
5) After selecting Flash firmware I acknowledge the "this is dangerous" message and select verify for the the MD5 option.
6) Phone restarts, I see the Mobile Odin splash screen.
After the restart I go to system settings and look at the Baseband/Modem and it still displays the last modem I flashed through CWM.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Ah! It all makes more sense! I swear I tried everything I could! It's nice to know I'm not as dumb as I was worried I was.
Thanks!
Chainfire has a thread on here somewhere with mobile Odin lite there may be something I'm the thread about it but I know he had posted he knows about it...

ive used odin a many time to revert to stock. Is there a preferred way or possible way to achieve the same results using the mobile Odin app?

You can take the same file you were using in ODIN and flash it in mobile odin, just the modem won't flash because mobile odin doesn't flash modems on cdma.
and upgrading to leaked ota? same or is it in one click .exe form? I'm usually on top of things like this but i had read somewhere yesterday someone tried to quote u as saying it was a no go on that. Something to do with a partition. i read all ur post i could find and never came across anything like that.

Mobile ODIN can read the OneClick.exe files. The ODIN OneClick threads have instructions. Basically the OneClick.exe files are compressed as a 7zip self-extractor. So the file you download is -oc-sfx.exe. Either double-click on the file in windows to extract or use ZArchiver on Android. Once you unpack the file you'll have the OneClick.exe file. Use "Open File" in Mobile ODIN to load the file up and it will flash everything except the modem (mobile odin doesn't flash modems on CDMA)
BTW to use Mobile ODIN, you need to have root. I just read your title again, and I wasn't sure if you were saying you don't currently have root or you don't want root. All the oneclicks after ek02 are pre-rooted because they plugged the direct root exploit.
once again thanks hub! u are very knowledgeable and always willing to help on the forums. its people like u that keep most of us here. thanks man!

Flashing a modem in mobile Odin I put it in the modem slot correct. I ask because I know it goes in the phone slot on the PC version. Thanks.

I remember reading it is not a good idea to flash modems in mobile Odin.

Mobile Odin selects the correct slot. Wont allow you to put a kernel where modem should be or etc.
The only issues with Mobile I have had is it stopped flashing modems, they wont stick. Best to use Odin ora zip.
Ya mobile Odin can't flash modems for our phone. You can try it and it won't hurt anything but when the phone reboots you still have the old modem. It can't flash CDMA modems.
Just use the zip file in cwm. Never had a modem flash go bad that way.

OK guys so yesterday I did something stupid let's just say I re-formatted my hole phone only thing I can download was CM build 9-6 only way my phone was booting up so I read somewhere about moving Odin while ago , now I got the stock KH2 I believe ODIN zip package now under recovery can I leave that blank to stick with cwm ? when I first try it put me back to stock recovery now I'm going to have to install the package again because message wasn't working -.- So what I'm asking it can I just leave recovery blank and install the rest threw mobile ODIN ? or how does this work thanks guys !

If you have no os currently you have no choice but to use pc odin.
Mobile odin you must be rooted and run like a normal app.
Then either choose file for a full fw or other .tar file, or choose update zip for a leak/patch update.

+1 to mobile Odin
Your issue could be one of two things (assuming you have the correct drivers) either the version of Odin you're trying to use is outdated or your usb cable/port may not be functioning properly.
Just to verify, you're powering your phone off, holding power and volume down to enter download mode and selecting the option to flash a custom binary correct?
If yes, try another cable if you have one, or another usb port on your PC to rule out those factors. The yellow com port should light up letting you know you're connected.
Also try a newer version of Odin if you're not already running it.
If all else fails, mobile Odin is definitely worth the money:thumbup::beer:

You use it flash a safe recovery tar file then use that recovery to flash your new ROM and stock kernel.

If you're looking for stock unrooted gb08 you can use the full Tar file, but if you want a rooted custom ROM you need to flash a zip

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.

The download from that website keeps failing halfway through anyone wanna provide a link to another stock md5 tar?
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?
