[Q] Help with Odin

I'm desperately trying to root my Sprint S3 on 4.3.
Two different methods so far required to use Odin to flash a recovery, but Odin hangs every time at "recovery.img".
I have my drivers installed, Debugging enabled, and my phone shows in Odin as "0:[com4]".
I dont have clue why it hangs every time and its really aggravating. Can someone please help? I'll be sure to give everyone who tries to a thanks.

Are you putting the tar file in the pda slot?

Yep. Here's a screenshot. Its in the AP section because I tried on a newer version of ODIN, same result.

Do you have a good cable? Most people like the BlackBerry cables and most have problems using the cable supplied with the phone for more than charging.

You will want Odin v. 3.07, not the v. 3.09. Also, there is a much newer version of Philz available, it is 6.15.7 and is a d2lte version. Link for Philz thread is in my signature in order to access the newest version. Make sure the Auto Reboot box is unchecked in Odin, or else the phone will reboot automatically too early in the process. If it works properly, the green Pass message should show after two minutes, and then you can use your custom recovery to flash the SuperSU zip file to achieve root.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I dont think its the Odin version, because I tried first on 3.07 and had the exact same result. I had autoreboot unchecked previously, I guess I had forgotten it in the time I took the screenshot.
I think I've narrowed it down to the generic cable, but I'll download your updated version and give it a try anyways. Thanks!

Well something new... its at least telling me it failed sometimes. But other times it still hangs.

SPH710T-(sprint prepaid) ODIN prob

I bought this samsung galaxy the T model. I rooted using ODIN>CWM>SUPERSU. Now i want to install wickedXrom but I have to update the bootloader to ND8 I believe or else risk bricking my phone. I've downloaded the philz recovery to odin flash it to my phone, but it doesnt show up after I click AP on ODIN, even though i have TWO philz recovery files in the folder. I tried removing ".md5" from the name and it turned into a zip file and that didnt help at all. The problem I'm having is with oDIN. If i try to flash "L710-ND8-Bootloader" I get a fail. If i try to flash philz it wont even show up under pda...
I've been researching and looking around for hours now before i finally decided to make a post.

It's good you're getting a fail. This doesn't apply to the L710T Model. Simply go to post #4 of my thread and there is a link to a tutorial on how to flash with the L710T Model. I'll update the OP to include this information so no one gets confused.

hope there is a way to fix this
appreciate the help
Ok Fixed it after many hours of searching it was right under my nose , I flashed the latest TWRP Tar file Via Odin and Viola Stock Rom is working M919UVUFNK2, now unto the root

Good luck with the root, I've soft bricked about 5 times so far trying to flash SU and TWRP. For some reason when the M919UVUFNK2 firmware came out my phone did a auto ota which baffles me since root/SU stop carrier access for ota. All info I've found on downgrading to 4.4.2 will brick the device to :/

It depends how root was acquired, if system files are modified, kernel, or recovery, then it won't OTA. NK2 is rootable, and I've also had no problems installing twrp. Must be something you're doing. What is your procedure?

[help] Galaxy J2 prime sticker on erasing after flash with Odin

Hi, I have a problem since a few days ago.
I have a J2 prime that had certain system problems so I decided to flash it with Odin.
The process ended correctly but never started the phone (stuck in erasing...)
I did many operations:
I did a wipe data in recovery (and stuck in rebooting...), I have marked nand erase all in odin, I have even downloaded another firmware of the same model, I flashed with another Odin and the problem continues.
The phone was connected to the charger all night (7+ hours) While the screen appeared "erasing ..."

If I remove the battery I get the message "no Command" when turning on the device again
I need help, please.
Sorry for my bad english

Some small details needed I guess. These are mandatory for flashing w/ Odin anyway:
0. Firmware is downloaded from known site like SamMobile or Updato.
1. Odin version is 3.12.3
2. Firmware matches your model name (which i guess you have)
3. Flash all 4 (BL/AP/CP/CSC)
It seems like your phone stuck in erasing tho. Maybe try replace the CSC with the HOME_CSC included in zip file.
( The HOME_ one is basically the same with normal, except it skips wiping data)
Looking forward for the reply~!

you will have to flash stock and try again, please remeber to unlock bootloader and turn on usb debugging.
Turn the phone off (in case you cant, holding vol- and power will hard reset the device)
as soon as the screen goes black press and hold the vol+ and vol- keys in and connect the usb cable, this should kick it to download mode for you to flash stock image.

Thanks it worked and took me to download mode but unable to flash the ROM, trying to flash 10 but shows something in download menu, screenshot attached.

Giving the error i am facing, trying to flash stock rom via odin but it gets stuck at boot and nothing happens.

I am able to get into download now but seems like bootlader is off it is giving an error
error - SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE:4 BINARY:2
sorry for back to back posts.

download from here; https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/#SM-A505FN
select your phone model tho, if not FN.
"SW REV CK FAIL usually means that you are not flashing the most current released firmware version. Most Samsung devices will not let you downgrade. You have to flash what was previously installed or higher Android version. "
from; https://androidforums.com/threads/error-odin-sw-rev-check-fail-device-4-binary-3.1251721/
So maybe try pie again then upgrade to 10?
Is your odin the latest, I've found that not all odins work with all phones.
For samsung A50 they say this one; https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip
can you reboot to stock recovery? by holding vol+ and Power?
Try factory reset and wipe everything.

Have tried to flash the one was installed in mobile earlier but still giving same error, it was ATB6 installed.

Sorry I couldnt help more, there seem to be plenty of youtube videos out there tho; https://www.google.com/search?q=SW+...3TxUIHU4_C3QQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=2560&bih=1344
