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...

Hi everyone. I am on the stock rom UVALH2, rooted, with a custom kernel. Can someone please help me flash back the proper kernel so I can update to JB?!
I will be in debt to you forever..
I just tried the OTA update to the newest kernel which failed and brought me to CWM. What do I need to do here?
You must be UVALJ4 to use the ota.
I suggest using odin w/ the fw I have in my fw/ota thread.

My FW thread has step by step instruction.

I'll have to try that. I flashed my old UVALH2 kernel back and then went to update. Downloaded the 335mb file but the signature verification failed and it booted to CWM. Is it because I am rooted or not on the latest UVAXXX?
Just go to Samsung updates download the whole Odin tar and just Odin it.. That's the best way

Faster to download it from my thread. Plus root66 is out too!

Found the FW thread. Need help extracting the .tar from the .7z file I downloaded. I also have Odin ready to go as well.
I'm a little confused here guys. I'm on Doc's Firmware thread and I've downloaded Odin. I also have downloaded root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.7z . However I'm stuck on how I extract the .tar file from that?
Www.7zip.org
Download and install 7zip and use it to extract.

Okay doing that now. Now it seems when my phone is in CWM odin doesn't pickup/recognize the phone. However when the phone is on normally odin detects it.
-----Look Below-----
Going to do a full rundown so anyone can help me here. When I originally rooted the phone I used some type of tooklit (Looked like a green version of MS-DOS). I've always had the stock rom. I've always used CWM to flash different kernels. Right now in About Phone I'm on baseband T999UVLH2 with kernel version [email protected] #1
I'm trying to get Jelly Bean 4.1 as a clean install. Not worried about keeping root at the moment either. I have root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5 downloaded which I am trying to push through Odin. However when I reboot my phone into CWM and connect the USB cable Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I'm willing to try anything at this point as this is frustrating me beyond belief.
You need download mode not recovery.
Same procedure but vol down instead.
Hold volume down, home and power to boot into download mode. Press vol up when prompted. Then odin will work.

I feel so stupid.. Thank you for that as well! (Can I buy you a beer?) Okay I did that Odin is now pushing root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5. After this is done will Jelly Bean be on the phone? Should I wipe anything to get rid of the old firmware/files?
Success! Android 4.1.1 is now running with what appears to be the most updated kernel/baseband! Now should I do any type of wipe to get rid of any old files that could slow the phone down? What happens to the old firmware stuff?

Factory wipe under CWM? Will it make me lose my apps/contact info? I suppose I could always do a titanium backup.
Factory reset wiil wipe apps and user data. Not necessary but I do recommend it when updating android. Just makes for reduced potential for problems.
Reset in cwm or twrp does not wipe internal sd. Stock recovery will though.

If you downloaded the root66 zip file you just use winrar and choose extract. It will or at least should unzip to its own folder. After that just follow the directions to use Odin.

mobile odin is version of odin you can use on your phone to flash tar files it is not a recovery stock roms are usually in a .tar format
Soo if I wanted tto go back to stock. Is using mobile Odin ideal? Stock meaning like no root, no rom, back to factory. I was looking at another thread. Someone was going back to stock to upgrade to jellybean, root it, nandroid, now they have a good fall back to fresh start

Mobile Odin will flash firmware directly from your phone and inject root

Is there a way I can flash just the stock recovery through Odin without having to flash the entire firmware? I'm currently rooted on the latest firmware with a customer coverage and everytime I reset the counter and reboot it gets set back to tripped. So I want to flash the stock recovery without losing root so I can reset the counter and then flash the entire firmware through odin again so I can send the phone back for exchange.

Pull out recovery.img, TAR it, flash it.
Ok and just converting it to a tar makes it safe to flash? I'veflashed many times but have never created a file to flash

If you download that and get the donation version, it has an option to make tar files. Doesn't matter that the toolkit is for the nexus 10 as far as just making tar files. I've used it to make cwm tars for my S2 and S4.
I was able to install custom recovery the first time i rooted my new tmobile 4.1.2 device, now after trying dn3 rom and reflashing between different FACTORY firmware flashes from 4.1.1 back to 4.1.2 several times i am unable to install any custom recovery through odin. Also tried using goo manager method for twrp.
Triangle away does not work for me.
I used stock recovery wipe /delete /wipe cache after every single time, with no luck to fix. Every time I try installing cwm or twrp(goo manager) it reboots as if everything is fine but still goes back to stock recovery. My binary count is around 12 now.
Am i doing something wrong?
This is the first time i encountered this. I have a usa t-mobile t889 but hoping the procedure to any fix is the same.
posting in here as this place is more active than tmob note 2 help.
thanks
