I was reading over the Odin guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539), and noticed two types of Odin listed: Odin and Odin Multi Downloader - what are the differences between these two types of Odin?
In addition, which version of Odin is recommended for flashing on a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) [Android 4.4.4]?
Additionally, where would I be able to find a detailed changelog or comparison chart for each of the various versions of Odin listed below?
Odin Version Listing
Odin: 1.82, 1.83, 1.85, 1.86, 1.87, 2.10, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10
Also, where would I find a complete compatibility list of phones for each version of Odin?

Would anyone be able to elaborate on the above question on the difference between Odin and Odin Multi-Downloader? Specifically, what does Odin Multi-Downloader do?

I'm not sure about the difference but I used regular Odin. I have 3.07 and 3.09 I used one and if that version doesn't work I used the other.

For whatever reason, Odin 1.85 won't work on my computer. However, Odin 1.83 does work. Is it safe to use the older version of Odin to flash stuff on my phone?
Should be fine

What are the differences between Odin v3.07 and Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe ??
I extracted the 4.3 modem.bin from the sammobile.com MI7 firmware. I tried to flash it through odin v3.09 as administrator and it looks like it flashes fine, no errors etc but when the phone reboots and I goto to about device section it still shows the NB4 baseband version. Phone is working fines still though.
Attempt 2, I used cygdrive to extract the modem.bin and tar it and tried to flash it through Odin v3.09 as-well and had the same results.
I am wondering if I need to wipe cache for the new version to show? Or is that version number in the about section set somewhere else? Is there a way to verify that I am using the 4.3 modem.bin from MI7 besides looking at the about section?

You need to uncheck the "auto reboot" and mamually reboot it into download mode again.
Then you flash the modem one more time.
I did like it last time. But baseband version shows unknown. I tried regiona away then has NO unluck.
My Note 2
- Latest Firmware XXUFNG4 4.4.2, old bootloader MJ5 (no knox)
- Can not flash any .tar, .md5 (CWM, TWRP, CFAutoRoot...), odin 3.04 and 3.09 always says no pit file, and failed. So that I can not root
- It used to work well with older firmware 4.3 and 4.4.2, but now it fails
I am trying to root with Kingo... But is there any better solution to this?
I reflashed new firmware via odin, and it has been OK and rooted already. Thanks all.
How to install new stock .tar file? ODIN 3.12 says "Download BL + AP + CP + HOME_CSC
I did download G935PVPS4APK1_SPT4APK1_SPR_Sprint_USA_6.0.1 which does contain files that start with AP_, BL_, CP_, CSC_SPT, HOME_CSC_SPT.
These match with the ODIN sections which I was previously advised never to flash.
What are each of these? Should I actually flash them? Should I flash them in a certain order? I always get fail when I try to install (may need to run as admin).

If your download is zipped, extract the tar.md5 file and load in AP slot.
You've downloaded a S7 Edge file but posted in Note 4 forum. Check your model number and make sure you're flashing the right stock tar. Note 4 has stock tar thread in general forum for Note 4.
Even the Sprint S7E uses a full stock tar.md5 file to flash in AP slot per Sammobile. The dialogue you're seeing in the newer Odin is used for other purposes like recovering phone. Maybe other models use that or it's another option for flashing native csc on international phone but Sprint phones would normally use the full tar.md5 in AP slot.

Thanks for the response and catch that this is S7 ROM. It never flashed (failed in ODIN) and I ended up d/l the Sprint N4 PK1 which led to a successful Note 7 install.
