HOW TO FLASH FIRMWARES USING MOBILE ODIN
DO IT AT YOU OWN RISK As i have tested works perfect for me
Step 1: Download the firmware
It must be in .tar.md5 format which usually is the case with official firmware. If you have a .zip or .7z file, you can use Zip Archiver (free at the Google Play Store) to unzip it directly on your phone. You should see the .tar.md5 file after. You can also unzip using winraron your computer and transfer the file to your internal/external SD card later.
Step 2: Transfer the unzipped file to your device.
You can place it in your internal or external SD card. Personally, I set up a folder at the internal SD card titled "Stock Firmwares or Flashoholic " and segregate firmwares and kernels in different folders.
Step 3: Launch Mobile ODIN
Grant SuperUser access when prompted.
Step 4: Select "Open file ..."
Choose the firmware you unzipped from Step 1. You will be informed about the partitions that Mobile ODIN automatically set for you. Select "OK".
Selected a wrong file? No worries. Select "Clear all" to clear all partitions.
Step 5: Make sure EverRoot is ticked (Pro users only)
That is, if you want to root your firmware during installation. The boxes that you can check are as follows:
Enable EverRoot
Inject Superuser
Inject Mobile ODIN
Otherwise, leave these boxes unticked.
Step 6: Select "Wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik cache"
This will perform a "clean wipe" which is often necessary for installing firmwares.
Step 7: Select "Flash firmware"
When asked if you should check the md5 signature, have it checked. This will make sure that the file you have is complete and not broken. After this step, your phone will automatically shut down and reboot to Mobile ODIN's custom Recovery Mode. The installation process will take place. Just sit back and wait for it to finish
Where can I find the free version of mobile odin? Play store only has the pro version it seems.

Its user friendly , just incase during the Mobile odin flash if there is any issues after flash such as boot Loop tried to reboot the phone if still same then will have to use the other option Pc Odin :good:
so Far i've flashed many firmwares and Kernels no issues found even when the battery is below 50% but dont take risk suggest to have atleast battery of 70%+

I can only speak from my experience, so I could be wrong - but I tried flashing from mobile Odin once and never again. I flashed, and the phone booted OK and then I realized it doesn't recognize SIM card. After more examination, I found that it doesn't have IMEI, baseband, nothing in connection with GSM... Wifi worked fine. So I flashed the SAME ROM with normal Odin and luckily it got the IMEI and everything back but I know I'll stay away from mobile Odin....
First of mobile odin can't flash efs as well sensitive partition like bootloader pit etc, so mobile odin is much safer then pc odin.
What you got network issue can be happen with many things, anything wrong happened with files in efs folder can cause it that's why it is always recommend to have efs backup if your device is rooted.
Certain limitations of mobile odin are
-you need working device, you can't flash on soft bricked device.
-needs root
- it can't flash bootloader, so if rom have patched or updated bootloader, you have to flash separately
Advantages are
-you can flash zip without having cwm (so no flash counter raise if you flash only mods)
- safer than odin bcoz it can't flash pit, bootloader. So even you wrongly flash a rom for different device, you can easily revive it from soft brick
-you can flash isolated components from rom file like recovery, kernel, csc, modem

which slot do I put the kernel in?
Stop whatever your doing. Then...
Open ODIN, place the recovery.bin file in the recovery slot.
Be sure to use the .pit file.
Uncheck auto-reboot.
After successfully flashing CWM, pull the battery.
Boot into CWM and flash whatever custom rom you want.
Done.
You are having this problem because the stock kernel checks the recovery type/partition and if there is a mismatch, it automatically flashes the stock recovery again.
If you want stock + root & CWM, then replace the stock kernel with a custom one for your current build.

Why would you use the pit file? Repartitioning is not needed. Don't use the pit.
Put CWM tar in the PDA slot.
As mentioned, if you're on a stock ROM, delete the script (install-recovery.sh) to prevent stock recovery from overwriting CWM on boot. Or flash a different kernel.
tl;dr
Watch qbking's youtube guides.

Reflash. Preferably the right way this time.
There's plenty of guides on here on how to flash properly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
You guys suck at directions... sorry.
The gba3.tar goes in the pda section. Leave EVERYTHING unchecked. Nothing else should be put in anywhere just the kernel in pda slot.
Then once it says pass on odin unplug the device (yes I know it still says do not remove target just do it.)
Pop out the battery, put it back in and go back into download mode.
Then you can have auto-reboot checked, and odin in the recovery in the pda slot as well. Double check its only auto reboot and hit the start button.
This is the easiest method for n00bs, no going in and deleteing the "install-recovery.sh". No having to quickly unplug the battery before it boots and flashing a rom etc etc. This IS how Qbking77 does it, and this IS how it should properly be done.

These file I got when flashing T-Mobile version T999, so DO NOT flash it over other variants.
Prerequisites: you must have Samsung drivers installed. You can install Kies and/or T999 tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682
You will need this tool because the flash files are 100% stock and they will remove custom kernel and root, and custom recovery.
Are you ready?
Here are the steps:
Download the essential .zip file and extract it.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/iah2ig
Download these 4 parts of the PDA file (the 5th is in essential.zip file) and put them into the extracted folder
001: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xyqaom
002: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tfhcr8
003: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2mttve
004: http://www.sendspace.com/file/z7uhru
Run "hjsplit" and locate .001 file and it will take care the rest.
Press and hold volume down+home button while powering on. When the phone displays "downloading..." means it's in Odin mode. Connect the phone with USB cable.
Run Odin (either included in the zip file or use tool), check PDA and locate the combined file.
Press start and wait until it finished. Flashing PDA file DOES NOT erase your personal files and settings.
Run tool if you want root back.
Note: everything will return to 100% stock EXCEPT the flash counter, so you need "triangle away" and root your phone in order to reset the flash counter.

I never heard LH2, but I experienced some troubles that I have to fully flash S3 with Kies (the one from the sticky does not work) and everything was GONE, so I have to find the original flash files from temp folder and I got all of them.
Since I have Odin from flashtool, I just use it to flash PDA file and everything keeps intact except root, custom kernel and recovery (they can be fixed easily).
The original PDA file is 1150MB, so I have to divide it into 5 so they fit sendspace.
I don't know about anyone else but my anti-virus went crazy downloading the "essentials". Can mods check this please?
How is this any different that what we can get from sammobile?

So I was just reading about Mobile ODIN... It seems like the ideal solution for flashing ROMs on the surface, especially since it doesn't trip the flash counter, but what are the pitfalls? Obviously no custom radios I would assume but what else? I'm using TWRP right now and I'm quite happy with it but should something ever happen to my phone, the flash counter has already been tripped and if I forgot to use Triangle Away when flashing back to stock I'd be screwed plus it seems like Mobile ODIN has a lot more features. Looking for some guidance here before I toy around with recoveries.
Mobile Odin isn't a recovery, and most roms are packaged to be flashed in recovery not using Odin

Enlighten the peasants? Besides people using it to flash things while their build.prop is modified - user error.

I have used mobile Odin a few times and still like it.
But here are pros and cons I found.
Its very easy to switch from one ROM to another without going into recovery.
You can also wipe cache and data when you install.
You can have mobile Odin installed in new rom.
You can also inject everroot and superuser into new ROM mean you will have rooted and superuser app in new ROM even if you're flashing stock zip.
Well.. but..but..
You can only flash one zip at a time so if you're flashing ROM+gapps, you have to flash twice.
You can not flash .tar or .pit file like desktop Odin.
You can not wipe system thru mobile Odin so if you're flashing TW to CM or any other ROM that needs system wipe, you can really screw up your phone.
The app is great but user error is always a risk. Be careful.

Hello XDA, for those of us that are using the 4.3 bootloader and running an aosp rom, that would like to update to t-mobile's new N900TUVUCNB4 modem WITHOUT updating to new bootloader...follow these instructions. This is what worked for me after a bit of trial and error. My setup prior to this update was- 4.3 bootloader, MI7 firmware, philz recovery, Will's Slim Kat V7, and slimkat gapps 4.4.2.
STEP 1- DO A NANDROID BACK-UP.
STEP 2- DOWNLOAD VISION X3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559321)
STEP 3- DOWNLOAD CivZ-SnapKat-Rev1.9-sm_n900T-4.4.2 KERNEL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613305)
STEP 4- DOWNLOAD TRIANGLE AWAY APK (GOOGLE IT)
STEP 5- COPY ALL 3 ITEMS IN STEPS 2,3,4 TO YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD. BOOT INTO YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY. DO A FACTORY DATA WIPE, WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE. FLASH VISION ROM, FLASH CIVZ KERNEL, AND REBOOT. BE PATIENT....BOOT TIME TAKES ABOUT 5MINS. AFTER ROM IS BOOTED...INSTALL TRIANGLE AWAY APK USING A FILE EXPLORER AND RUN THE APP. PHONE WILL SHUT DOWN .
STEP 6- NOW FROM YOUR PC, DOWNLOAD ODIN 307 (http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip). UNZIP DOWNLOAD ON YOUR PC AND OPEN ODIN PROGRAM AND CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
STEP 7- DOWNLOAD MODEM.BIN THAT I HAVE EXTRACTED FROM OTA. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fx72lner8mud9kq/nXqmHJsfrz/modem.bin) NOW FLASH USING ODIN MAKING SURE MODEM.BIN IS SELECTED UNDER PHONE FILE BUTTON AND CHECKBOX IS CHECKED. MAKE SURE NOT TO UNPLUG DEVICE AND WAIT TILL ODIN HAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.
STEP 8- AFTER PHONE HAS REBOOTED. PULL BATTERY AND BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER MODE AGAIN. CONNECT TO PC AND OPEN ODIN AGAIN. MAKE SURE TO HIT RESET BUTTON IN ODIN SO NOTHING IS SELECTED.
STEP 9- DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY OF YOUR CHOOSING...JUST MAKE SURE ITS A .TAR FILE FLASHABLE IN ODIN. FLASH RECOVERY IN ODIN UNDER PDA FILE BUTTON AND CHECKBOX CHECKED.
STEP 10- AND FINALLY, PERFORM A CLEAN WIPE & INSTALL OF THE CUSTOM ROM YOU WERE USING PRIOR TO THIS TUTORIAL.
ENJOY!!

That is correct. All you need to do is flash the modem.bin in ODIN, nothing else and you will have the NB4 radio. And no, you cannot flash the modem via the recovery kernel (it appears to be locked), you have to be in download mode and I have not tried heimdall, so cannot tell you if that works.
dont bother updating the modem. it doesnt help. i am currently getting my third replacement device due to the lte signal issue. my sisters optimus f6 has a -86dbm lte signal while our notes are always over -100dbm. they said the kitkat update would fix the issue how ever it hasnt. the signal bars will show you as having a full signal but if you take note of the actuall signal strength before and after you will see it infact does not change. you can install the modem itself with out the other steps atleast i did on my secondary device but like i said its pointless. there is a power control feature built into these phones that are robbing us of our beloved lte. ril.modem.lte.powercontrol i tried to set it to false and off but nothing really seams to affect it. i personally believe samsung messed up with the antenna on this device. dont believe do it for yourself and please let me know. maybe i have just gotten two shotty devices in a row. but we shall see.......
Noted, I will do a before and after test when I get home.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
so i took the back cover off the phone to expose the internals. so no antenna on the device at all....guess what -106dbm with the antenna i get -104dbm samsung might want to rethink this antenna design cus we pretty much just dont have an antenna.........
Can we revert back to the old modem? I don't know if it's this modem or if it's a rom issue but I can't record video on TW roms. Yup. Just tried Tweaked and XNote. They both can't record video. Recording failed. I hope I can go back to the old modem.

if any one can help me that would be great thanku
You should save messing with the NV data as a last resort.
Have you flashed your firmware via Odin and factory reset? This is often all that is needed.
So I should reflash the Rom using Odin cause I don't think I have NV I couldn't find the nv data when using root explorer
I attached images of the no imei and my car, android version, and kernel.
Maybe I can flash back to stock?
Sent from my LGMS659 using XDA Free mobile app
The NV data isnt accessible that way. But yes. Flash your firmware and theres a good chance itll fix the problems.
Or if you want, find your current bootloader version by opening Terminal Emulator and entering this:
getprop ro.bootloader
Then whatever it returns is what you need to flash. You can try flashing the modem only first, but if that doesn't work flash the full firmware with Odin.
If the IMEI doesnt return, PM me and ill help you restore it. But im betting its a modem/firmware mismatch and the above steps will fix it.
Is this right
