i have downloaded the chainfire file. I watched a video where the guy did it on a sprint model. I put the zip file on my desktop, made a new folder and moved the contents into the new folder. now he uses odin 1.85 and in my folder its 3.07. also he said only the auto reboot box should be checked and mine has that and also the f reset time box checked and i cant uncheck it. Im not sure what to do here, I could really use some help here as this is my only night with the computer for a while and I really would like to root this ting tonight. I appreciate any help. thanks.
I will be sure to hit thanks
i have odin 1.85 and the latest tar file form chaifire , if I use odin 1.85 and put the tar file in only the auto reeboot box is checked and the file goes in the correct spot. can I just do it that way and hit start or will i be missing something?
Use 3.07 or 3.09. Leave defaults alone. There are tons of guides here for using odin if you need more help.

When I rooted my s3 I clicked on pda and once the .tar file got added everything was done automatically. After that all I had to do was put the su zip into my sd card and flashed it thru recovery and done.

ok so i had another thread where i found out i hard bricked my phone cause i did not use ODIN properly. so this time i am going to ask for settings on ODIN so i can put the 2.3.6 ROM on my phone without hardbricking
i have the rom file already named T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5
i open up ODIN (1.85). What check boxes do i need? do i need re-partition? F.reset time? flash lock? phone EFS clear? phone bootloader update?
Do i just load the .md5 file into PDA? do i need any other file?
will loading the ROM erase all my data?
Dude to be as nice as possible. There is a sticky section on how to do this. Just check PDA and load it from PDA. Don't touch anything else on Odin.Dont hit repartition. Don't hit anything else. Just load to PDA. And do not rename the file or unplug your phone at any time.if you don't care about root you can always update via kies and foolproof. Please search the threads or post in general. People will blame you for ever if you post in the wrong section. Good luck.

go into download mode. after you are in download mode and connected via usb to computer thru download mode then open up odin. after that just hit pda then find the tar file you downloaded onto computer. once u find file hit that and u are good to go then run it ....let it do its thing don not touch the phone. question tho why dont you just flash one of the 2.3.6 zips we have here? also there is cwm flashable radios here too
it will not erase your data. Its a non wipe update.

The micro USB port on my phone is jacked up and I need to flash back to stock ROM,unroot and stock Android recovery so I can get a replacement . Is there a way to do it? My PC dosent recognize the phone when its plugged in. currently im running
EL 26 modem
EK02 kernel
Build Number Gingerbread EK02
Cwm recovery
Maybe MobileODIN?
(sorry, @ work, can't take the time to search n link here for you)
I would guess off the top of my head that M-odin and something from sfhub would do this?
Seeing as I've never used it, I am sure someone could clarify and/or say I'm full of ****e. ;-)

Yeah downloading the stock.tar to your phone and using Mobile Odin works great, just make sure that you don't have inject superuser clicked if you want to return it.
it looks everything needs to be done with CWM (rogue) or mobile odin.
Search the forum first to find the unrooted stock rom, modem and kernel.
Also, remove the odin count if it's non zero (if don't know, search 'triangle away').
If everything is downloaded on your phone or pc (you can connect your pc using es file explorer and move the file to your phone), be sure that kernel is applied at the very last moment.
The steps would be,
1. install zip file from sdcard - if you have a zip file which everything is on one zip, then you are just good to go.
2. Separate zip file - rom or modem first and kernel last within the same recovery session (without reboot)
If you use the mobile odin, everything should be done at the same time but I do not recommend this method because sometimes, the mobile odin misses some component and it could be a reason of phone bricked.

That's the reason why I'm recommending the 'triangle away'. This works without usb jig. If you odin count is bigger than zero, only use it. Flashing thru zip file does not increase the odin count.

Sounds right:
This is below is all from sfhub he wrote instructions on his latest oneclick for using mobile odin:

To install One-Clicks from the PHONE with out PC using Mobile Odin:

"Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently.

I don't know, I think you'd be fine with the EL29 too. I make sure I use the links from sfhub to get to stock. I can vouch for those - Bone Stock, Odin Count to Zero and no Triangle. That guys deserves loads of thanks for saving many an ass, mine included. And his instructions are dead simple and right on. Just take some time and read, read and then read again before you do anything. Then you should be OK.

The oc-sfx.exe files are actually 7zip self-extractors. When you double-click on them, they decompress the actual OneClick.exe file. Think of oc-sfx.exe as a zip file. You wouldn't feed a zip file directly to Mobile ODIN. You would unpack the zip file first, then give the file to Mobile ODIN. You can either unpack the oc-sfx.exe file on windows by double-clicking on it, or on your phone by using ZArchiver from the market.
Once you have extracted/decompressed the OneClick.exe file, feed that to Mobile ODIN.
Sorry for any confusion, but if I left these uncompressed, the files (and downloads) would be twice what they are now.

Yeah , I was really confused because I didnt know his oneclick.exe files can be used also with mobile odin,AND lol mostly cause for some reason I STILL tried opening it from mobile Odin but it wouldnt accept the file ,but thats because I unzipped it with Androzip. its what I already had on my phone and I thought it would do the job. Once I used Zarchive to unzip the one click.exe it DOES recognize the file! Now im just waiting for it to charge a lil
The man is pretty awesome n so helpful ! Its funny cause when I used his one click method months ago it was so easy. Just this time I cant do it thru a USB with PC

Seem to have gotten myself in another bind :/
Ok, so I flashed a ICS ROM and as usual I want to flash something else(I admit its a bad addiction! ). Unfortunately, my OEM cable isnt working and so odin can't recognize the phone!
SO I have mobile odin installed but I need the correct files. Never had to use it until now, I thought I had a correct kernel/recovery to flash but it says "partition not recognized"
So please mind that I will have to download the files DIRECTLY from my phone. I will seriously LOVE anyone who can help me out
Go to the wiki, found in the sticky section, you're looking for el26 kernel with cwm tar file. In mobile Odin, click kernel and find the file. Check md5 and go. During reboot, Press and hold volume up and power till you get to cwm. Do your wipes and flashing there. Good luck!

Assuming you are using something from the OneClick thread, you need to unpack the file first, either double-click the .exe in windows to unpack or use zarchiver on android. The resulting file can be use with Mobile ODIN using Open File.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel

oh wow i really never noticed that pit file lol since i got it from melvin's thread which is stickied in the dev section.
you should call up t-mobile and just tell them you woke up and noticed your phone won't turn on anymore. They should issue a next day warranty exchange. hmmmm you probably will get it on monday since its already friday.

So my phone just stopped working after two days of rooting. I decided to un root it and revert it back to stock with Odin. I downloaded the right file for my phone SGH-M919 but when I tried to flash it. I got there is no pit partition. I tried then using kies and that failed. So I googled s4 pit file and got to a thread that had it. But stupid me thinking that i9505 pit file is the same for my phone because Wikipedia said it was the quad core version which the tmobile is. So now i have a new error for flash.
Please help thank you

So all I would need is that .tar and it would automatically fix the issue? Or do I have to extract the pit and use it another way? I've never had to deal with this myself but some one else is having the same problem and I'm trying to find the answer for the both of us really, I don't want to be blind if this were to happen to myself so I want to find what I need to correct it before it becomes a problem later.

Sounds simple, I've been helping some one from here out a little and either he doesn't understand what he's doing or there's something else wrong that he doesn't know he did in the mean time but that's pretty simple for a fix. He's been "from what I gather" doing that same thing but when it starts it just hangs at the check in Odin. I told him it takes a few minutes before it actually shows progress but he's waited over an hour so maybe he did something to the partitions that's all I can think of that would cause this to happen but it's hard trying to figure out the problem when you don't have the device in hand.
Thanks for responding I'll send him the link to the thread.

If it's hanging at the "check" in Odin, it's not even began to write things to the device. The "check" part is checking the tar file. So it may have just been an incomplete download of the tar file.

I've tried the stock tar and modified tar file from this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628) but still havent had much success. The tar check passes so I'm assuming the files are valid and I'm uploading the file in the PDA slot in Odin 3.07. But when the program runs it gets to (check pit mapping) then it says (device removed) then (device addded) then i get a failed message. Anyone have any ideas?
