[ODIN] true Samsung flash files from Kies

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.

How is this any different than using Odin to flash lh2?

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?

Odin PDA only supports tar,md5,smd,gz,tgz which this does not have.

do you mean before or after you run HjSplit to put them all back together into one file?

[Q] Phoenix v15 wifi fix

Hi
Does anyone know how to fix wifi without using ODIN? I know dr.ketan and BL_MJ5_DN3 bootloader patches, but simply ODIN doesn't work for me (tried on win XP, Vista, 7, different USB slots).
After trying to write to NAND it fails. My phone version is gt-n7100. Is any chance that a new ROM occur soon with already fixed WIFI?
Any other solution for patching without ODIN?
Thanks for help!

As far as im led to believe odin is the only way but I may be wrong can you not get the lend of a friends laptop and try it. I did mine yesterday and it only takes a couple of minutes if you have the files downloaded.

That's an interesting option. I've read about it, but haven't found someone used it for note2. If it works for you I'll give a try too. Thanks

In Odin I couldn't read the error code. Just after trying to write in NAND it failed, that's whole message i got. I did everything according to the procedure. On some computers there were no Kies and it failed as well. I have all versions of Odin... Run as admin...
Well, it might be the cable issue, it might be Chinese version of phone... however it's gt-n7100.

Downgrade Direct from the Note 2 No pc Needed 4.3 -> 4.1.2

FACTS:
I Just dowgraded my 4.3 ota to 4.1.2 In 2 minutes literally. NO PC NEEDED! NO ISSUES!
The prerequisites :
Note 2 50% charged "Not necessary though"
Mobile odin pro app .
4.1.2 tar file by teshxx
It's not noted anywhere else of this being done but I just did it successfuly.
How to:
Mobil odin pro is same as odin on a pc but it's all done right from the t889
Which is supported by mobile Odin pro.
Buy$ or get mobile odin pro app.
Select the 4.1.2 tar and flash it you can Inject mobile odin and su into the flash prior to flashing the tar
Look for the options in mobile Odin
Essentially You will skip all the steps of using the PC odin method that has errors ans more steps.
No need to get Odin errors or bootloops No need to cf auto root.
This method seems to be problematic free.
Reboot phone and 4.1.2 will be in settings.
Along with superuser installed on 4.1.2.
KNOX does remain in download mode but has no affect or presence within the daily operating system or its functionality.
No superuser force close nothing.
To make it short you can now flash 4.1.2 roms.

Not trying to be picky, but mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader at all. PC odin does. That is the reason the mobile odin process doesn't hangup like the pc versions do. A significant portion of the odin flash is not happening. If you boot into download mode you will see the knox counter staring back at you.
Having said that, I am glad you are happy with the results. It is good that you have options.

You see the knox counter either way either method I nevrr disputed that fact ...
My point was that its a easy and available method to get back to 4.1.2
If one chooses to spend...a few bucks on mobile odin pro.
Fortunately I'ts no longer relevant to me I'm on a new 4.1.2 s3 LTE ans staying that way.

I guess my point was that Mobile Odin is not a *perfect* substitute for PC odin. If a person were to attempt to flash 4.3 odin files they would not get the bootloader updated and might have problems with WiFi and other issues as a result. It is a great piece of coding and very imaginative. It also has limitations.
My post is more for others in the audience who need to know this specific limitation. Personally I would be less than impressed if I'd spent $6 only to find that the app didn't do what I'd been lead to believe.
There was a guy over on Dr Ketan's patch thread who used mobile odin to try to flash the bootloader patch several times and just couldn't get it to work.
He thought that Mobile Odin = PC odin. It simply doesn't.
Enjoy your SIII LTE. It should be an awesome device for you. Happy New Year.

i Just want to add that im the second person that was able to get back to 4.1.2 with no errors or problems. infacted i didnt use mobile odin i simple downloaded the zip of 4.1.2 rom that was stock rooted and flashed it through TWRP OR Custom recovery. You must have custom recovery installed. any way 4.3 looks nice i like it but it has too much issues wifi crash and tethering not working 100%.

Thanks for the info. However, why are you going back to 4.1.2? What did you not like about 4.3? I stayed at 4.1.2 as I did not find many reasons to update. Thanks for you info.

i loved the look and feel of 4.3 and the new setting tabs. but the fact that I couldn't get my tether to stick 100% was a killer for me. and I also wanted to try out 4.3 to see if I should upgrade to the galaxy note 3. im currently using the note 2 and if I cant get tethering on the note 3 theres no point in me upgrading lol.

Hello. I have found no issue whatsoever. I suppose that is why the Android Odin is paid while the Windows one is free. It does the job more easily with no fuss. I only want to point out that you need to get the right version to downgrade to. If you don't you may experience problems eg you might not be able to connect to the GSM network in your area or country. That has nothing to do with Mobile Odin though.

Yes, mobile Odin is indeed a very good application. The reason this works using Mobile Odin is that it does not flash the bootloader.
If you pack a tar.md5 file excluding the bootloader then you can downgrade using pc Odin too.

I am not sure if anyone has packed it yet. Did you try flashing any 4.1.2 custom roms ?
Custom roms are usually not packed with a bootloader and you should be able to flash them using any custom recovery.

Need AT&T stock firmware

I'm trying to unroot my note too but the USB will not work is there a zip file I can flash that would take me back to stock ?

I doubt if there would be any zip available, but assuming you are rooted (you say you are trying to un-root) you could use Mobile Odin Pro (not free) or Mobile Odin Lite (free) to flash back to stock. It will recognize the tar and md5 stock files.

Cannot connect the phone to Odin.

Hi,
I am trying to root my verizon note 7, but right now I cannot connect my phone to Odin. What should I do now?
Thanks!

Make sure you have the drivers installed, Make sure you are in file transfer mode on the phone and try different ports on your computer.
How that helps.

Also make sure you are using Odin from the Root post. I tried 3.09 and it didn't work for me either, but 3.11.1 worked flawlessly.
