My pc crashed recently and i was wondering if anybody can shed some light on mobile odin. Is it reliable, does it work well....just wanted some info before spending 5 bucks on a app ......soo should i buy???????

So far it seems reliable. Bought pro version after using the free for a bit to support. Haven't flashed a ROM through it but have flashed modems and kernals.
Try the free and then decide. Pro gives ability to inject su etc. Not needed for kernel or modem.
Anybody else

I've also only used it to flash Kernels. Worked great for that. Just flash a kernel then boot into recovery if you're nervous about flashing a rom with mobile Odin. Although if you brick it will be because of the kernel, not the rom.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!

i bought it and i flash everything with i only CWM for nandroid backups but something will need more then just a flash ( you will know it migth get stuck in a boot loop and thats only with a couple ROMs that need to have data wiped) , if you flash it and it gets stuck in a boot loop then just go into CWM and wipe data fix everytime and thats the only problem ive had
Mobile odin
I USED MOBILE ODIN PRO TO FLASH THE OFFICIAL ICS UPDATE FOR MY SGSII i777.
FLAWLESS
Only thing mobile Odin can't do on the et4g is.flash modems, they flash but won't stick. Its well worth the $5 but if you'd like to try it first chainfire has a free version here on xda. If you try the free version when you download it make sure to scroll down a few posts in the thread and download the flash kernel for our device, its listed as the sph-d710 I think its post 5 or 6 where its located

Mobile Odin has always worked well for me,it is nice not having to have a computer around to get my flash on.
Although its not been working on jellybean,has a problem with finding the partition so you have to reboot into recovery
thru the ROM or by manually booting into recovery.I'm sure it won't be long before its fixed.
can i use mobile odin to flash a directboot kernel el29 on ics where i would then flash a rom?
Yes, it will work and I have used it before.

I've only had a snafu once and that was a couple of days ago with trying to go from blue kuban (sp?) back to el29. Something happened before i even installed it. The rom was falling on its face and reporting things stopped running. I have no clue what caused that but i suspect that is what caused mobile odin pro to lock up before rebooting. It, mop, hasnt messed anything up on a system that was running and not fc'ing or other errors popping up left and right. If you want to flash one click odin files, you need to get zarchiver to unpack the compressed exe to its full size or mop wont be able to do anything with it. I used to mess with the additional wipe options but started leaving them alone lest i screw up something. I think it's pretty safe to use. Now i have to switch out of this damned samsung keyboard because it's driving me crazy!
I've noticed people leaving comments in the app's page in the play store. Their comments are that it soft bricked when using for an ics install. Today I experienced the same thing again. When trying to go from agats fh13 rom to sfhub's one click Odin of el29, using mop, what worked so many other times is now just installing recovery but the rest bombs out. I'm going back to run a md5 on my oc el29 to make sure it isn't corrupted. Use mobile Odin at your own risk. I thought it was reliable but I have to check a few things first.

I only use mobile Odin to install el26+cwm to flash from. If your oneclick has a modem that may be the issue, they flash from mOdin on our device but don't stick, so it may be what's causing the softbrick with the oneclick. Or you may be correct and have a corrupted file. I've never attempted to run a oneclick or flash a whole rom tar from mOdin just el26 and then flash what I need from there, never had an issue with it yet:thumbup: usually if I want to Odin a oneclick I use the PC, but I don't Odin a rom unless I bootlooped by forgetting to flash an ics kernel after a nandroid restore from el26 or when I rooted my device. I don't use TW roms tho I stick to aosp based roms so i don't really have a need to do alot of Odining roms unless its absolutely necessary because I borked something or need to do prl and profile updates and don't wanna mOdin el26, flash TW, mOdin el26, then flash a new aosp rom or restore a backup. Ill just oneclick to el29 and a cwm kernel then do my updates, boot to recovery and flash el26.zip and the reboot recovery to flash my rom

I've gotten into the habit of using el26 everytime I use recovery, I don't even worry about if the kernel I'm using with my rom has recovery or what recovery it is. I've been using el26 for a little more than 5 months so its just become a habit for me to mOdin it before I go into recovery

I md5'd the file on the phone I have and on the computer. They both match. I can run the computer one and it goes through without errors. Maybe I should try it again to see if I can determine what's causing the soft brick. I will report back.

Give it a try without the modem and see if that's causing it too. I know they flash and don't stick but I'm curious if its flashed with the other files if it not sticking like it should causes an error during the flash process that corrupts something in the kernel preventing the boot

I've flashed a few different ways and no problems. Perhaps it was a couple snafus earlier. All on clicks have a modem packed in them but mop won't flash the modem. You can flash a custom recovery then flash the modem zip if you wanted to. I thought of something I did different earlier but am not sure if I want to go through the hassle again. What I did just before was to flash the fh13 modded 1x zip to show what mode you were in. It definitely broke the looks of the 3/4g icons and the battery. After the flash I couldn't connect to 4g in known good areas. Well, I'm really lazy now but I suppose I won't know if that could be replicated yet. I hate intentionally screwing something up that works nice as it is.

My mobile Odin will flash the modem it just doesn't stay after it reboots. That's why I was wondering if flashing the modem in the oneclick was causing some sort of error from it not sticking. I know on other devices the modem will actually stick, I think the et4g is the only one it doesn't stick on, or maybe the cdma devices it doesn't stick on. I always flash my modems in el26 right before I flash TWiz to do a prl/profile update. I'm still rocking fd19 haven't changed modems since late may after I tried the last few modems from end of may and went back to fd19 cuz i have great 3g speeds on it.

I hope hoping to get some discussion going regarding Mobile Odin and how it's working for people on our device.
So far, I've exclusively used it to flash kernels, but has anyone successfully flashed a full TAR with it yet? More specifically, has that full TAR also flashed your modem? I tried flashing a modem.bin file last night using MO, and while it went through the whole process in a way that appeared to be normal, upon reboot baseband was unchanged. I've read about others experiencing the same thing.
According to Chainfire regarding the modem.bin issue ...

This maybe a problem specific to CDMA devices... I'm not sure yet though.

I also read about some kernel panic mode reports when trying to use MO to flash the latest FC05 TAR.
So if you've used Mobile Odin, please share your successes and or failures. It's obviously a great tool but I'd like to identify where it's working and where it may not, for our device specifically.
I have used it going from ics back to GB ....but have only been flashing eg30 stock tar and then el26 cwm kernel .....then I boot into recovery and flash cm 7 if going to aokp or whatever ....I have tried fc05 & fb27 modem and they don't work it goes to like it is flashing it but finishes real quick like 10 seconds .... And normal Odin takes like a minute or more to flash modem...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I have been using to flash kernels and modems up until FC05. For some reason it will no longer flash modems, like said, it goes through the motions.
Ah, just remembered, used it to flash 27 tar, whole ROM. Flashed modem/kernel/system no issues. Even used it to open that .tar and just flash the modem or kernel once or twice.
The only thing that scares me about MOdin is getting a force close during a flash and hosing my phone.

I don't think that's possible. It seems to get the files ready then actually does the flashing on the reboot, as some kind of preboot flash function. When I flash a modem for example, upon reboot a Mobile Odin screen comes up and does stuff then the phone's OS boots.

Hmmm. So it sounds like you can flash a modem as a piece out of a TAR image, but not from a modem.bin file. I've tried the modem.bins for EL29, FC21 and FC27 all with the same result, which is no change.
You can pick parts out of a .tar.
I've had no luck with .bin files either.

Could you link to the pre-rooted EG30 Tar you have? I downloaded this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20089082#post20089082
and not sure if its pre-rooted. So when I flashed it via Mobile Odin I played it safe and just manually re-rooted via my Mac. I should have just checked to see if it was, but it didn't hit me at the time that a simple terminal command would confirm.
It would be nice to learn how to package things up to flash with mo and avoid recovery all together. Not even sure where to begin on that one.

Indeed, but you need to be EXTREMELY careful, like even more so than you do when modifying a .zip file.
.md5, .tar, etc. -- those are risky business to tamper with, unless you can repackage it and sign it correctly after adjusting, removing, and what have you.

I don't think this what he means by "pick parts out of a .tar". I think he means Mobile Odin can select only certain partition elements of a TAR, like just the modem for example. Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.

Got it. I knew Pro offers that functionality but thought maybe there was another Tar file that I didn't see. I planned on purchasing Pro to support the developer and will be doing it sooner, rather than later now
Thanks!
So unfortunatley I was stupid on my first device, and it got that dreaded emmc brick. So before I root and update my phone to cyanogen mod alpha 6 I want to clarify what is considered safe at the moment. I plan to do the following, and if someone could let me know if its most likely safe it would be greatly appreciated.:
(I currently am on a new Epic Touch I purchased, which is not rooted, on 100% stock out of the box)
1. Flash E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5 through Odin (will this work as a first step, or do I need to flash something else first in order to root?)
2. Through that recovery flash my Cyanogen Mod and Gapps
3. Never do anything to my phone after that without extensive reading
Should that most likely work without bricking? Thank You!
That should work. Also, from what I've read, if you are going to wipe your phone, DO NOT use "Wipe data/Factory Reset" through an ICS recovery. That has been triggering the random emmc brick. Use "Calkulin's Format All" instead or Odin back to an EL26 kernel. Hope this helps.

Take unrooted stock phone, put it into download mode, flash SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 package found here:

Then flash a StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 file in Odin
Then do a Wipe/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then Flash CM9 Alpha 6 and Gapps
Never used odin to flash kernels, just mobile odin cause it doesn't increase flash counter. Sounds like a good plan though

Rule of thumb. Never flash ics to ics unless using one of agats safe ics repacks or mobile odin el26. Wiping data or format all in ics recovery can cause a brick.

Heres the back story. I flashed a rom that wasnt meant for my version of the GN2. I was excited for it and I didnt read properly. So because of that I lost my IMEI, and the phone had no cellular connection. I fixed that with the toolkit and flashing a new modem. Then I re-flashed the ROM I was using before, CleanROM ACE 5.0.
Forward to now, Anytime I try a new rom, I can get them to work until the first reboot then they bootloop. Ive done full wipes, formats, everything and they all lock up after the first reboot. The only thing Ive been able to get to work is the original CleanROM. Im not sure if Im doing or not doing something wrong, any ideas?
Only one idea ...or rather a question...
Upon the repair of the device ...did you do a full return to stock using the factory shipped rom ???
You should try ...as it will map the partitions properly ...
My thinking is...that despite your efforts ...something within your partitions is still out of whack ...
The flashing of a rom not meant for this device can be particularly damaging as you already know....and may have left a portion undone ...g

I used the toolkit to reflash a stock image. The only thing I havent tried is deleting partitions. Does the TWRP offer that ability?
Don't delete partitions ...
You need them...
Run the return to stock method again....
And I mean fully stock ...with the 3e recovery ...then root again with CF autoroot ..and then ODIN flash your TWRP recovery..
Then we can attempt the different Roms...
And remember ...

Im still running the Whompasaurs rom. Its such a good rom I haven't ever been able to get away from it. Now that 4.4.2 is getting more TW roms, I had a few questions.
Im getting great performance from my Whomp rom, is the TW 4.4.2 roms any faster, or do they eat up more resources and are generally slower?
The only thing that's making me nervous about just doing it is the upgrade process. It sounds like unrooting to stock and taking the official sprint OTA to 4.4.2 is better for the phone, but I don't want any of that Knox crap on there. Can I just Oden to a custom 4.4.2? It looks like I can, but then I will need to flash the WiFi fix, correct? I see the info out there, but everywhere I have seen some of it mentioned, its kind of scattered throughout a few post or in different threads. I was kind of hoping to get an all in one answer so I didn't have any doubts or questions.
I use to be a heavy flasher, but once I got on Whomp, I haven't really been around much and I am kinda rusty. I don't have another phone to fall back on and want to make sure I'm not going to brick it.

Well you can jump to custom 4.4.2 without upgrading. First you need to backup your internal sdcard because it needs to be wiped for best results. In 4.4.2 the directory structure is changed and without wiping you will end up with two internal sdcard directories (one you wont see but it will take up a bunch of your space). As far as speed things will be just as fast on 4.4.2 unlike the crappy 4.3 we had before.
Needed files
1. Philz 6.07.9 recovery or cwm (twrp will not work)
2. Wifi fix for 4.3/4.4.2
3. Custom 4.4.2 rom
Steps
1. Connect to pc and backup internal sdcard
2. Flash philz (done with odin or in recovery)
3. Boot philz and backup current rom (backup to external sdcard because internal will soon be wiped)
4. Factory reset clean for new rom
5. Under mounts choose format /data and data/media
6. Reboot your recovery (very important) this will make philz create it needed directories (it will ask if you want to root ignore it)
7. After reboot flash your custom rom
8. Boot into download mode
9. Odin wifi fix
Phone will reboot automatically after wifi fix is flashed. Now you setup your rom. I suggest that you do not use a backup app to restore any apps or data. Download everything you can fresh from playstore. Many apps and their data has changed since 4.1.2 and will lead to major issues if restored.
Now one thing about custom 4.4.2 roms. They all have the S5 dialer which has a lag on first call after boot. If you place a call (to voicemail is fine) after every boot you wont have any problems till you reboot.

They all give the invalid binary error. Tried running Odin in admin and without. I'm on win 8.1 x64. Have the Samsung USB drivers installed. No keis.

Try this file http://d-h.st/6qX you will need to extract the rar file before you flash it.

Cool. Now enjoy the new NE2 rom out there. FYI you can run any rom (tw 4.1-4.4.2 and aosp 4.1-4.4.4) without any changes. Only thing you should do is wipe your internal sdcard (in philz go to mounts.. format /data /data/media) when you flash a new rom and this will keep you from have some weird issues (also backup your internal data such as pics, vids, etc.. before you format).
