Hi
Please I'd like to know if it's possible to create a Complete ROM (3 files - Modem, PDA and CSC) from an One Package ROM (only one .TAR file).
And is that really useful? After this process, can we only flash the CSC file with Odin (Desktop)?
Thanks for your help. (always appreciated help)
Yes you can extract single ROM file and later create tar file for each component
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.
Thanks dr.ketan.
Extracting a tar file we obtain several img files (system.img, hidden.img, boot.img, recovery.img...) (from my own experience with an official rom of a French telephone company).
How could I know which img files is for the Odin's fields PDA, Phone, CSC...?
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.

Atm I don't have Mobile Odin. Do u mean that we can flash .img file thanks to this app?
And do u know if this kind of Full Package flash is better than a One Package one? The result could be different?
Thanks again for your explanation.
System. Is PDA, modem is phone, boot is kernel, recovery is recovery this is different component of ROM file
Single file flashing flash all required component on one go, while individual useful when you want to flash only single component.
PC odin can flash tar file but not. img file, you have to convert it to tar
While mobile odin can flash tar as well img file too.

Ready to flash firmware, just one last thing
Hello, I have a gt-n7100 which I bought in china and I am looking in to flashing the firmware into the UK version as this chinese version has bloatware and i cant access google play or install many apps even if i get them from other markets. The guys here are all a great help but im stuck on one bit of info.
As I have read the threads, I see that the chinese note 2 cannot be flashed with other firmware using Odin PC, because it has a different bootloader ..(is my understanding correct?) So the solution would be to root it and use Odin Mobile instead. But i cant get mobile odin pro because i can never access the google play because it is blocked by this firmware. (ZCALJ6) So I have to use mobile odin LITE, which the tutorial says I have to manually download and install seperate files such as flash kernels. Thats fine, I located the files needed but i dont know when to install it and run it ? Before I install odin or after? or after I have flashed the new firmware or before? And when I install it what should i do next?....because i couldnt find where it says anything about that process, just goes on to explain that mobile odin PRO does it all for you automatically and picks it up from there.
Seriously in need of help, this chinese firmware does to note 2 what kryptonite does to superman.
I'm trying to flash back to the Stock firmware with TWRP. I have the zip file on my SD card but when I try to flash it is reporting that it is unable to open the zip. I confirmed that the file is downloaded correctly and not corrupt as I am able to access/extract it on my PC without issue. Any ideas on how to get past this?
Its probobly an ODIN zip not a CWM zip. Extract the zip and if it has a .pda in it then you have to use ODIN on your PC

An MD5 is just an integrity check file. What is the name of the zip and where did you get it?

The name of the Zip file is
SGH-I317_ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4.zip
I downloaded it from a couple locations that listed it as the stock AT&T firmware for this phone. Each location same error.

Im pretty sure that the one you downloaded is just zipped factory firmware and not flashable zip. You will need to extract tar file inside if there is one and flash Via Odin. If you are using it for att there is one that you can flash via twrp from link below.

Ah thanks for the help, I think thats my problem. Testing with the link you provided. Thanks.
I wonder why we see a lot of people asking questions here about install errors from files they got at some random (and often unheard of) sites around the Internet? Don't people know that xda has all the files they could need?

I don't think you can flash a full 4-file for a different model. Odin saves you a potential brick.
What was the error? pit file?

ODIN is prevening the flash to protect your device. The firmware is only partly compatible with your device. FL and F models likely have different partition sizes. This will cause a pit file failure.

You won.t need to flash all the files.. Only the AP file.
But due different kernel, you will kinda break nfc and other stuff

Many users report imei errors months after rooting. I don't recommend rooting. we do not know the origin of the problem
Hi friends.
On Topjohnwu's github, there´s a note about root any Samsung without recovery
Basically, extract the AP from stock firmware, copy it to phone, install magisk from xda forum, patch it, download the patched file to your pc and flash it using Odin.
You must fresh flash the entire ROM and the patched AP, userdata MUST be formatted (use CSC, not HOME_CSC)
Use it at your own risk, Knox wil be tripped and you could brick your phone.
Search the note into Topjohnwu´s github, Magisk section, Install and search for specific samsung section.
Be careful and enjoy rooting!

Here's my story, I patched the AP file and flashed it using odin, didn't add any other stock firmware files. I was able to attain root privileges, then the unthinkable happened. I received a call and it got disconnected instantly. The network signals vanished, I restarted the phone and was welcomed with a flash notification message "IMEI null or invalid."
I've since flashed it 10-12 times.
IMEI hasn't been restored, wifi works though.
I've given up hope now, my daughter attends her school classes on it.
I have never heard of such a case. Where did you get the boot.img from? It must be the same version as your phone. I recommend you flash a clean software by Odin, without root, and verify that everything is normal

Downloaded and extracted the AP file from the original firmware. It has happened with another guy, he did post a video on youtube, fixed it using some Z3X box.
The firmware was the original, but was it the same version as the one you had installed?

Yes, downloaded it using frija.. I did just flashed the patched AP file, skipped the rest, maybe that was the reason..
Did you get the IMEI back?

Nope, I've given up. Can't invest any more money on the Z3X box..
Why don't you flash the whole system from Odin? No modifications. That should work

I've already done that 10-12 times to no avail.
You must download the exact version of rom for your country/carrier. Search for it in sammobile.
Can't understand what the problem is.
I´ve got no problem at all

Were you able to root it?
Also, in addition to the patched AP file do we need to flash the BL, CP and CSC files?
Yep no issues. Magisk hide, all working.
When you extracted the boot img, there where another files into the AP file provided by samsung that must be flashed too.
Do you have the patched file? Try flashing BL, CP, CSC and AP and then flash again only the patched boot.img into AP.
But I think it has nothing to the root with loose of imei.
Was your phone a company one? Like verizon, etc?

No, it's unlocked. Did you patch the whole AP file or just the boot file through magisk? I patched the entire AP file. If you could please list all the steps, it would be a huge help. Thanks.

I saw a video of rooting the f62, here's the link. Please take a look and let me know if the steps are the same.
