It's been a while since I had to use odin, so can someone please refresh my memory. I have Odin and firmware downloaded. I have both of them on my desktop. I understand how to open Odin, but how do i get my firmware to show up when I hit PDA in Odin? I know you're supposed to somehow extract it into a folder or something, but I can't for the life of me figure this out. Can someone please give me a detailed description of how this works? I've searched and searched but it's always gone over so quickly and nobody explains this step. I'm sure it's simple, but I'm dying over here. Lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Where did you place the firmware file? I put it on my main screen. So I just go to either my computer or desktop and scroll until I see the file.
When you hit PDA, it's suppose to show all your folders. You're just suppose to find where you placed your download.

I put it on my desktop, but when I hit PDA it doesn't show up under desktop. After the firmware download was completed, I went to my downloads folder and drag & dropped it on my desktop. I haven't opened it or done anything with it.

No... As you can tell, I'm not that computer savvy. What's the best way of doing that? If you could explain the process of extracting and finding the file after I hit the PDA, that's pretty much all I need. I know I'm probably a pain in the butt. I just need a friendly person to explain it to me. Thank you

Just extract it like a normal archive and the extracted file will end with .tar.md5 extension.. After that you can use it with Odin and it will show up when searching for it

What are you trying to do? Root your phone? Return to stock? What version of android are you on, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?

I'm wanting to update my firmware and bootloader. I'm currently on an older CM10.1 nightly. In order to install any CM10 or AOKP I have to update my firmware to get the latest MD5 bootloader. I have the T-mobile SGH-T999.

Theres a recovery flashable zip in dev section designed for exactly that. Will flash everything but /system.
Use in recovery though, not Odin.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Stop what you're doing. Flash this and you're good. Do it through recovery. No need to Odin.

stock odin files can be found bottom of this OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324517
you need to:
Download
extract with password
then do the same thing as you flash the recovery
PDA --> choose the tar.md5 file and flash. these files are much bigger so it can take several minutes.

Can anyone help me how to flash stock rom on Bell SGS3.. thanks/..
If you can find the .tar file of the stock image for Bell its very straight forward through Odin. I wasn't able to find one that's already made so you might have to ask one of our devs or fellow Bell owners to do a dump for you.

1) unzip file to get the .tar
2) reboot phone into download mode
3) open ODIN on PC, leave all settings default
4) click PDA and browse to the .tar file
5) plug in phone thru USB.
6) after ODIN detects your phone, click start.

No worries. I'm just giving you a hard time.
Like someone mentioned above, just use ODIN to flash a stock rooted ROM and all will be right in the world again.
Do you know exactly how?
Need Infos.
I'm beginner and trying to respect your words.

In the development section read the instructions how to flash via odin.
This should get you through the process and give you root.

Unzip the .7z file you downloaded from that thread. You should get a .tar file. (Might be .tar.md5, cant remember)
Flash that with odin.

Just move the files manually. Use a computer or a file manager, doesn't really matter (only one /0 - /data/media/0). Update your recovery, too.
You can flash a 4.1.2 ROM, but do not flash any < 4.3 firmware.
I tried using e3 file explorer. No luck. I can't even see the files to move.
So if I install a 4.1.2 Rom. Do I need to flash the MD5 modem? Or it will work with them 4.3 modem?

You need to use the file manager to navigate to /data/media. You will be able to see everything from that location. I admit, it's more complicated/confusing than it should be, but it's mostly for backwards compatibility.
