[Q] Flashing from CM9 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

When flashing from CM9 or any CM for that matter back to a sammy rom do I have to use odin? Or can I use CWM to do the deed?
Know on the captivate they used different file formats.

Yes you can use cwn, they use the same file format.
I had to do the odin trick on my sgs1 epic 4g.

Mobile odin

Is Mobile Odin safe at this point? Does it work correctly if ran from ICS fb17 or fb21?
Thx everybody.
I used it to flash eg30 ....it worked fine but most have been using regular Odin.... I have the pro and get root automatically injected...I was coming from cm9

Have Pro and have been using with ICS. No issues with kernel or modems. Haventt flashed entire ROM yet.

[Q] How do I use Mobile Odin?

I recently bought the app and I used used it once to flash the EL26 kernel, just to try it out, but I can't seem to find out how to use it other than that.
Any links or assistance would be much appreciated!
TIA!
Anyone can reply you know...its rude to ignore people asking for help.

I just use it to flash el26+cwm kernel. It can also flash modems and some stock roms.

I haven't used mobile odin a whole lot, but from my understanding, you download the tar file you need, whether its a kernel, modem, or rom, and it scans your external and internal cards for the tar. Click on what you want to odin, again kernel, modem, or rom, and it odins the file. It's just a convenient way to odin without using a computer.

Also, Mobile Odin doesn't raise flash counts or invoke the yellow triangle.

I am pretty sure people say don't use mobile Odin for modems...it either don't work or don't stick.

You can use it to flash modems, but they don't stick sometimes. I've heard there is a way to flash them using it.

I'm glad you told me because I thought I was doing something wrong.
For some ROMS the devs ask you to wipe your phone to install ROMs fresh. I use Calkulins Format All when in recovery.
How does Mobile Odin work if you need to wipe your phone?

ROMS aren't flashed through Odin typically . Odin is used to flash stock.

[Q] Flashing two recoveries

Well I have been on alpha 5 cm9 because of my lazy ness... but if I mobile odin an el26 cwm kernel then flash the cwm6 kernel to flash a different rom will it cause issues?

Y the need to flash cwm6 afterwards? You should be able to mobile Odin el26 then flash the rom. But no it won't cause an issue

Zip back to stock?

I have an Epic 4G currently on official CM10 mtd, and I was wondering if there is a zip i can flash in cwm to bring me back to stock unrooted (stock recovery etc, too)? I know I can odin it, but I'm just wondering
...Man, you need a custom recovery to flash a zip like that. Simply banishes the possibility of having an all-stock zip.

No. You have to Odin to get the stock bml partition back.

New to samsung devices

Ok here is what I have and what i am looking to accomplish. I have a sph-d710 sprint, flashed to boost mobile. Gb27 I have stock firmware rooted, and still have stock recovery. I want to flash a 4.3 build. What kernel that includes a recovery should I use? I prefer twrp but will use cwm if I need to I also have mobile Odin pro for flashing the recovery/ kernel. This is my wife's phone so I am asking for info so I don't screw anything up. Before this I've been strictly using Htc devices and they are so different in steps to flashing brick free. Thanks

You need to flash a safe kernel via Odin one-click or mobile Odin like El26 or EL29 direct boot, and also the recovery and the kernel are together so keep that in mind
