When I'm about to use ODIN to flash the latest TWRP tar file, do I flash it as a bootloader, PDA, CSC, or UMS? The whole ODIN / Samsung method of doing things is so different than doing things via adb so I'm lost here. TIA.
Typically it's PA. (PDA)
Good luck.

I want to flash a modem with mobile odin since I am not using a repack kernel. I didn't find a tar file but I found a zip file. Can I extract the modem.bin and then in mobile odin lite select modem and browse to where the modem.bin is and select it and then flash? Or does it have to be a tar file? I am new to mobile odin but I really like it.
Well normally you would pull the modem.bin file out of the ZIP and flash it, but it won't work on our phone. I haven't been able to get a single modem.bin file or any of Calk's modem TAR files to flash in Mobile Odin. It just goes through the motions. Supposedly it will flash the modem from a full TAR image though.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will Odin the repack with recovery and flash the modem and flash the stock kernel back then.

If for some reason you don't like the repacks, you can also install the stock FB27 zImage and it should flash the modems (they ignore signature failures in FB27 stock recovery) Same number of steps as installing a CWM repack except you will always be running pure stock software (I figure there must be a reason you haven't installed a CWM repack already)
How to ? Mobile Odin cannot recognize the modem.bin file, it's only recognize the .tar file

Though I don't use it, I believe Mobile ODIN recognizes modem.bin and tar. It just doesn't flash modem.bin on CDMA systems.
Flashing the modem with the actual odin does not raise any flash counters or cause any yellow triangles. Why not just do it thru odin?

I'm currently running Jedi-X6 PORT (4.1.2) ROM on my Rogers I317M Note 2 with I317MVLALJ2 modem.
Modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541
How do I install this modem? I317MVLUCMK5 Modem.zip
Via CWM recovery? Odin?
Will I lose anything installing a new modem?
Thanks.
Zip files = recovery tar files = odin. Caveat: is it a zipped file for Internet transportation?
Flashing a modem doesn't affect your operating system.

Thank you. I extracted it and there's no .tar inside. So recovery it is.
Perfect. Just make sure you check your APN settings after you flash, then reboot.

Easiest way if you have rooted your device, is to install TWRP (better than CWM) and just install the modem. Make sure you select install from TWRP and select the whole zip file (not the bin file). HTH.
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.
I have the latest full stock base for the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Wifi (SM-T900) and want to make a bootloader package that can be flashed in ODIN.
Inside of the full stock tar file is:
boot.img
recovery. img
system. img
cache.img
hidden.img
sboot.bin
Which is the bootloader, and what do I need to do to the file, if anything, so that it can be flashed individually in ODIN? Also, should there be a modem file? Alternatively, is it possible to create a zip of these things (bootloader, modem) that's flashable in TWRP?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not quite sure which one is bootloader. Sometimes you can't flash each one individual ly with odin(ex like creating an odin tar that just has system). Modem files are only on lte devices. Most times you don't need them for custom roms. Anyway, you can extract each IMG and create and tar the IMG up. There are a few commands and guides to tar something and add md5 to them.
As for a flash able zip yes and no. Bootloader can't be flashed in twrp most times since I have never seen anything like that. You usually have to flash bootloader with odin. Modems don't need to be flashed since twrp doesn't mess with it most times. But you can create an flash able zip of kernel, recovery and I'm unsure of system.img(may need to extract or adjust updater scipt. Though I dont fully know).
Usually the twrp flashable in ArchiKitchen so it can help with the updater scipt stuffs. Just don't add any options such as root and busybox to it. I've never seen a flashable bootloader in twrp so it's highly unlikely of it being possible.
Hope this helps!

Hi
The bootloader tar package for flashing in ODIN:
1) boot.img
2) sboot.bin
Use 'Total Commander' (google it) to make tar package (bootloader).
Any luck with the port?

Hello, I am using Odin v3.13.3
My phone was running with latest Ukraine firmware which is:
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 ap
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 bl
A705FNXXU3ASH1 cp
A705FNOXM3ASJ3 csc
Today I wanted to format it and decided to do it via Odin. But it stuck at system.img. So I tried to flash the firmware which was just before the newest one. And Odin flashed it with success.
I also had the same problem when I tried to install that older firmware a few months ago till I found Odin with version 3.13.3
So, What do I need to do, I couldn't find a newer Odin. Is there any other problem. How can I flash the latest firmware via Odin?
Thanks ^^
where is home csc,there is only 4 but must have 5 to flash...

It's same as csc, if you flash home csc it doesn't wipe. If you flash only CSC, it wipes your phone. You select one of them, you can't flash both.
And as you see, I succesfully flashed an older firmware. The problem is that odin can't flash the newest firmware.
