Mobile Odin - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

Depending what you want you can find it in the 1st or 2nd post:

Those are .exe files... They won't work on mobile odin right???

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.
But wut if I don't have a computer and just want to use mobile odin

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.

[Q] Mobile Odin not working (or I'm dumb...)

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!

Yes, Odin one of sfhub's one-click packages. I went from FC22 back to EL29 with no complications whatsoever.
Oh hell, missed the mobile Odin part. I still believe you can but you have to flash the modem separately, however please wait for a response from someone who actually has mobile Odin experience. Sorry about the miss.
No problem, anyone know if it is safe to do?

Yes, that is correct, mobile odin will flash the oneclick.exe files.
It won't flash cdma modems, but that is a generic issue not related to odin oneclick.
I may very well be wrong here, if so please let me know...
From my understanding it was only the ICS recovery (due to lack of kernel source) and touch recovery (due to being crappy) that were bricking phones.
For every leak I tried, i simply used mobile odin to flash rogue el29. then restored my backup...am I risking a brick with this method?

GB08 Can't Odin?

I'm trying to flash another rom, obviously I know I need to flash el29 kernal to do this. But I cant odin.. everytime I hit start, it fails. Even the one-click doesnt go. So im stuck.. my drivers should be good. Oh and im on kobridges GB08 everything.

+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

[Q] Stock rom without a computer

Is there any way to unroot this phone or flash the stock rom, rooted or unrooted, without a computer. The mini usb does not function so anything involving a computer is not an option. I just bought this phone and it came rooted but I need to activate it on my account and the ## codes aren't working

Flash the modem in cwm first. Mobile odin wont flash them.

Flashing the modem isn't necessary as the .tar contains the rom, kernel, and modem.

Using Mobile Odin will not flash the modem, that is why patrao said to flash the modem with CWM then use Mobile Odin to flash the tar.

Sorry but I haven't had an android phone in a while so I'm a little confused. There are two files when I click on the link do I flash just the tar file or both the exe and tar file? Also where do I find the modem file? Thanks for any replies I have managed to restore the phone to stock and get it working and I am still rooted as well
If you are going to use mobile odin then use the tar. The exe is for your computer. Thr modems can be found in rwilcos website just got to look.
