My tablet is currently rooted and I'm downloading a new FW from SamMobile.
After I install the update via Odin, will I need to re-root and also add TWRP back onto the device or are those kept in place ?
Thank you.
Yes you will need to reroot and reinstall twrp. Odin flashes system, modem, bootloader, and recovery. All my data stayed, but I like a clean flash so I did a factory reset as well.

Hi all,
I have a soft-bricked GS3 that I can't revive even after using odin 3.09. Hope you guys can help.
My encrypted phone was running CM10.1.3 and I decided to update it to CM10.2 using sideload. That didn't go well and I was stuck with the CM bootloop.
So after several tries with sideloading I decided to use odin to turn it back to stock. I tried both the stock LG1 and LK3 and both went thru the flash without issues but after the phone reboots it asks for the encrypted storage password. After the password entry it's stuck at the samsung logo bootloop. (p.s. LG1 recognized my encryption p/w but LK3 didn't)
I had flashed using odin on an encrypted phone before and I don't think the encryption stays after the odin flash. Am I missing something like flashing the bootloader together with the .tar file? I tried searching and google but can't seem to find an answer.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

Can you try booting into recovery and doing a hard wipe/factory reset? If you flashed a stock *.tar file via Odin, it should deliver a complete stock system with all partitions updated. There shouldn't be need to flash a bootloader separately.

Got it. Thanks!! I kept thinking that I couldn't use the recovery because CWM does not see the encrypted partition and therefore cannot do a hard wipe. I totally forgot that after odin I was back to stock recovery and therefore could do the wipe. Thanks again!!
I tried to factory format my phone through TWRP, then when I tried to restart again, it never comes back.
I still have access to TWRP, but when I install zip files I downloaded, it always failed. I tried to use Odin, it failed to flash an image in.
Plz help me.
Many thanks.

What format option did you select in TWRP and hope you didn't accidently remove your OS? The device could fail to boot if you don't have an OS installed. You may be able to flash a complete stock restore image via TWRP. Would you recall what Android version you were on before the brick? Also what is your phone model and carrier?

Mine was ATT S3 I747 with Android 4.3 system. I did wipe my OS during recovery. That caused the whole problem. Then I use TWRP to flash a system and a kernel in. I was unable to flash bootloader and modem in; I did not know what is the problem. The weird thing is that I successfully start my phone and used it for a while. When I rebooted it, it dies again. I tried to install the some boot update in this January. It never works again. Any advise?

You can try flashing a complete stock system to get your phone back to working condition. Since you already had 4.3, flashing zips often fails if there is a bootloader incompatibility. The stock restore should do it. Please go to the following thread ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Download the stock restore zip to your PC. Use another device or something to load it to a (micro) SD card. Insert the card into your phone. Boot into recovery mode and flash from TWRP. When done, wipe your cache/dalvik and reboot to system. Let's know if this works for you.
Hello everyone,
I previously had stock OH6 with root and TWRP. I decided to install Atrium v1.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/development/please-post-till-t3171637 and the install requirements are that both Baseband and Bootloader need to be updated to OF8 to match the FW of the rom. I was able to install the rom without a problem. Now this is were I screwed up. I decided to do a fresh install again and in TWRP I wiped Dalvik Cache, system, data, cache and internal storage and also performed a factory reset. At the moment my phone is stuck at the boot screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" and I can't go into TWRP. I can only access Download mode. My question is can I Odin back to OH6 without bricking my phone or am I stuck with doing Odin to OF8 because of the previous baseband and bootloader upgrade?
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.
You can Odin oh6. Once on a higher version you can't Odin back to an older version as downgrade isn't allowed of the bootloader.
Thank you very much.
Device information:
I got my Note2 (GT-N7100)
Android version: 6.0.1 (CM13 by Ivan Meler)
Recovery: latest CWM
N7100XXUFND3
Thing is i got unfindable bootware/rootkit on the device that keeps up even after flashing a new rom.
I searched the web and xda on flashing everything to get the device totally unmodified again.
Now i got the last Odin and Adb ready but i'm uncertain where to start.
Think i need to flash it all from the bootloader off. and use the 'Nand Erase All' function?
I don't dare to trial-and-error which might brick.
A question i have:
1. Where to start to flash everything from scratch?
2. Can i lock the bootloader again after?
Try wiping the system, data, and cache with CWM. Boot into download mode, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com, perform a factory reset after flashing, reboot.

Already proceeded this steps. Without succes.
My idea was i need to flash more. When i see the options in Odin i can do more.
Like Pit (repartition)
Like Phone (?)
Like CSC (?)
The stock rom flashes in Odin without any errors? Can you get into recovery after flashing with Odin?
I have my phone rooted but I managed to fake its status to official to get updates.
I manage to get it downloaded but it gets stuck when in recovery which is expected.
Is there a way to install the updates with custom recovery?
Thank you in advance!
If the OTA update had been successful it would have replaced TWRP with stock recovery anyway most likely
You can try to do a Backup with twrp, then update with odin, flash twrp again and then reload you old data from the Backup. Make sure to Backup ur internal Storage, since twrp doesn't do that!!

Should be fine updating with Odin and still have all data as long as HOME_CSC is used, would have to flash TWRP and root again though, used to do this with my S5 each update

No, on the s9 it will encrypt the data partition again, so you have to delet it afterwards if you want to root again.
Thank you guys!
