I just got my Galaxy SII for Sprint and I've rooted it but cant get CWM to install. I've used odin V1.85, downloaded the tar file, but when I hit start it says the file is no good. Anything else to do?

Here the second post by bubby tells you how to flash via Odin. You'll have to Download Odin, Samsung drivers, etc.

Now this is the lastest release with
Wi-Fi calling. This is the one to flash via Odin to get latest update.
Let me know if you still can't do it, but do your research before trying it because you can brick your phone otherwise.
It's easier than you think.

You are right in unzipping it. PDA that .tar.md5 file and "start".
1 rooted 1 not rooted
Just upgraded 2 of them, both worked out great!
Question: After I flashed this, Titanium Backup is telling me it's no longer able to connect to root, or something to that effect. After applying this update, do I have to then re-flash recovery using Odin?

You need to be very specific about the problem you are experiencing.
Exactly what model is your phone, Tmobile T999 or AT&T I747 ?
Also do you want to flash the stock rom for your phone or do you
want to flash the stock-rooted rom?
The Verizon rom did not just happen to appear in your phone, you or someone
else must have flashed it for reasons which are beyond my comprehension.
Good luck!

If you want a stock rom click here: UVDLJA this is the un-rooted T999 Galaxy S3 4.1.1 Jellybean firmware.
This is the same rom which came with your T999 Galaxy S3 it needs to be flashed using ODIN.
You need to unzip the file in order to get the TAR file inside before flashing.
After flashing it might take up to 5-10 minutes to fully boot.
Good luck!

No, if you odin flash any rom it will over write the modem.
If your phone is a T999 (not t999v) then do this and the phone will work properly:
This will over write your modem with the proper one for a T999 phone and this will
flash the stock rooted T999 4.1.2 Jellybean rom.
Follow the instructions below.
Here is the step by step guide:
After you have followed these instructions your phone will have the new T999 4.1.2 jellybean pre-rooted firmware.
Download the stock-rooted Odin flash T999_UVDMD5 Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 firmware.
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
But the Chinese models usually come with write protection
Hello everyone. I currently own a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH T999. For some reason I can't flash in TWRP. When I flash a new ROM it says " Failed MD5 check MD5 file missing" How do I go about to fix this?
Disable md5 check in twrp
I tried that it still doesn't work.
And what happens?
It says the same thing.
Make sure it's the latest version of twrp, if that doesn't work use cwm
How do I update TWRP?
Through Odin, or an app like flashify
Dear all,
I just have a serious problem with my Note 2 N7105. I bought this phone with a rooted 4.3 androit and everything worked fine beside using the automatic update function (over the air update of android).
Therefore I downloaded the german 4.4.2 from Sammobile and flashed it with odin.
sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32565/N7105XXUFNE3_N7105DBTFNE1_DBT
Odin flashed completely with any errors . -> All threads completed. (succeeded: 1 / fail: 0)
But unfortunately it is not rebooting to androit nor reboot into recovery mode. After turning on the phone, I can see the samsung logo and after that it tried to boot and a red exclamation mark pops up and it's restarting again. The only possible thing is to get into the download mode again.
I also downloaded the german 4.3 version from sammobile and flased it with odin - but results stay the same.
I would be very happy about any help. Sorry in advance for my unprofessional explanation.
make sure you have downloaded the right tar file for your samsung

Could fix it meanwhile - it wasn't a problem of the tar file - the tar file was correct - but whyever the recovery was broken after downloading and installing the cwm recovery I was able to get into the recovery mode again and afterwards also successfully install the stock 4.4.2 tar file from sammobile.
Cheers,

[Solved, Read next Post] Hey guys, bought an S4 for wife and would like to root it. Read everywhere to root but not for this baseband version, FOK3. Even tried Odin 3.07 to install twrp then SU. I couldn't get the recovery tar to stick and was hung up on downloading mode. Does anybody know the proper steps and links to root this newly updated phone? I don't want to brick this puppy. Thanks.
[Solved] So I Downloaded CF- Auto-Root for the sgh-m919 Build ID NH7. I said F' it and went for it......Went into download mode, ran Odin that was included in CF Auto Root folder and loaded the .tar file and it actually worked! I rebooted and had SU with stock recovery. Then I went into download mode again and and flashed twrp via Odin. Even made a nandroid right away. Bam....custom recovery and rooted!!!! So if anybody is on the latest stock OTA FOK3 Build....this will work.
