can i install odin on ubuntu and flash my phone?? How??
I guess Odin still is not supported on OS other than Windows. Correct me if I'm wrong. And for getting Odin worked on Ubuntu, you may need to install VirtualBox and install Windows, and access inside it.
ok it is possible to launch odin inside ubuntu using wine, but due to lack of drivers phone is pretty much undetectable, anyway the virtual machine idea is good and as far as I know about VirtualBox and VMware this might actually work

Using Wine maybe a bad idea for Odin and yes you are right without Kies (Samsung drivers) phone will not get detected. And we can't depend on Wine for 100% on all Windows applications. Some won't work correctly. And as you're aware of Virtualization technology, it might be a better plan.
is there another way to flash android phone using ubuntu? Because i am using ubuntu now

You have other options; Maybe you can run Windows with Odin and Kies in a Virtual Box. And there's also a lot of Windows XP portables to boot with a usb stick without change your OS ;D
I'm sorry for the bad english.
I am an ubuntu user also, I installed windows beside linux jsut to use odin.
It is possible to flash roms through linux but its little bit complicated since the only available way is using the command line (terminal)

Latest source for heimdall includes heimdall-frontend which is a GUI on top of the heimdall command line. I was able to build it from source very easily reading instructions from README files. Since I can't post links yet search for "Heimdall 1.3.2 Source (Github Repository)".
UPDATE: Avoid heimdall 1.3.2 as I ran into open issue 32 "Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence, DATAFS upload failed" when flush samsung galaxy s2".
Instead use 1.3.1.
Important things to remember or else you could brick your device:
heimdall command line and heimdall-frontend are from same release or there will likely be compatibility issues.
Careful not to overwrite bootloader unless you know what you are doing
Only use heimdall firmware packages that are compatible with your device

Heimdall is the answer
Hiemdall isn't compatible with our SGM as I heard so I don't try it to not brick my phone.
The only way is to modify the ROM and make it CWM flashable.. how? I don't know! If you know please teach me.

I was trying to root my phone using step 2 of "[GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" and ran into heimdall's issue 32 ""Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence, DATAFS upload failed" when flush samsung galaxy s2". Reverted to 1.3.1 and all was well. So you may want to avoid 1.3.2.

First, I just discovered "[GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" on this forum (threadid =1311081). That was incredibly valuable. I used step 2c using Heimdall. If Heimdall is not an option for your device then would either 2a or 2b work for you (it wont if you are on UCKK6). If they wont either then all I can think of is to do 2c like me but instead of heimdall use ODIN using a friend's Windows machine or running a windows virtual machine like VirtualBox, VmWare etc. with USB support. Note that I have not tried this option and cannot vouch that it works. Perhaps someone else can? Best of luck and please click Thanks button below my post if you found this useful.

its not the answer unless an s3 or older used the s6 pit cannot even be retrieved by jodin for example and the only way to root marshmallow is off the odin bootloader FACT
anyone know where i can get the pit file for the sm-j327p? I had somenoe access my phone and delete everything so i have no pit file which I am assuming is needed to setup the partitions.

heimdall > odin

don't bother with Virtualbox. Download VMware player and it will mount usb with no extra configuration.

Just to clarify for those that don't know...VirtualBox OSE (Open source edition) doesn't pass USB devices through to the VM, but the closed source version does. They keep claiming to release USB mounts to OSE, but it'll probably never happen.

Heimdall is pretty easy to use and seems to flash faster that Odin. I don't believe it has a repartition function yet, but it's supposed to be in the final release.

Hi all,
Can someone explain or point me in the right direction about how to install any Odin alternative on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 to be precise) and flash stock firmware (multipackage or single package) on Ace GT-S5830i. I unsuccessfully tried "heimdall" but i think it only works for Galaxy S series devices.
Also is it possible to flash stock firmware using CWM Recovery? If yes, then should it be deodexed? and can "any" deoxdexed stock rom be flashed via CWM?
Googling wasn't much of benefit so far, so it would be highly appreciated if someone can help.
First, this should have been in Q&A.
Second, can't you just run odin under wine?
Third, no you can't flash stock firmware through CWM

Thanx for responding.
1. There is no Q&A for 5830i, just for 5830 so i posted my question here instead
2. Wine and even Virtualbox's XP Vm couldn't make odin detect the phone. Maybe coz Wine doesn't work reliably with things that need hardware connections. I am also unable to install Samsung usb drivers in windows 8 release preview 64-bit. I was wondering if there is some software like "heimdall" for other than galaxy-s devices, Or may be any command line method to flash stock rom in linux.
3. I Got it :good:

It's been reported to work on other devices than the Galaxy S, so you can try your luck.

Thanx for responding. I actually already tested it for S-5830i and S-5660 and unfortunately it didn't work. But if you say that it has been reported to work on other than "S" devices, i'll have another shot at it :good:
Just in case someone needs this here are stock
recovery.img and stock boot.img.
Both have been tested and working fine.
I used heimdall to flash them few times but I think it should work with ODIN as well.
Haven't tested it with ODIN tho.
If you gonna use heimdall here is the galaxy4.pit file.
So if something goes south you can flash back to stock again.
I had to do that many times yesterday as I was testing recoveries made by Shabbypenguin and kernels that I was trying to build.

I pulled them from my phone Saturday.
It's stock. And pulling them is not that hard.
I had to upgrade my heimdall to pull the pit file tho.
But those files came really handy throught the weekend.
Had to use them many, many times.
Just an FYI - We have these and a ROM dump also up on rwilco12.com.
Just don't have a stock version yet.

I used qbking77's UTube video to root and it went ok but I really would like to unroot and I have no idea how to do this. Is there a simple way to unroot? The reason I am unrooting is that I know nothing about rooting and should have waited until I researched and understood it's benefits and without knowing this I should have not rooted and want to go back to stock but I would like a simple way to do it.

You can keep the root untill you know more about it and start using all benefits.
It won't bug you and won't brake anything on your phone.
Actually if you not using any apps that require root access you won't even notice that you are rooted.
So no worries.
I haven't look into any unrooting methods and don't even know if they exist as of now so if you want to do it you should
keep looking for it.

Check out the app SuperSU in the play store. In settings there is an option to unroot.

I have same version of Heimdall with Heimdall-frontend 1.4 RC1 ( I think)
Running it under Linux Mint 14 cinnamon.
I pulled the pit using this version of heimdall and heimdall frontend and I flashed boot.img and recovery.img many many times.
Did you try to dedect device first? If yes was the device detcted?
What OS you using heimdall with?

I place the phone in flash mode, and it doesn't detect the device. I used the older Heimdall to flash my GS1 many times, but it has never worked with my gs4. In fact, I can't even get usb debugging or adb to work either. I monkeyed around with udev trying to get it working, still no luck. I have Fedora17 at the moment, and I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with my frustrations.

Never used Fedora. So I'm not much help here.
I know I had to update my Heimdall from 1.3.2 to 1.4 to make it work with GS4.
I don't have any problems with it ever sense.
But my adb and debugginb are working as well.
So may be some missing drivers?

Hi guys,
I would like to try flashing stock firmware on my Note 5 to see if it can help with some of the glitches I'm seeing. Unfortunately I'm not having much luck with the common routes.
Smart Switch: tried the initialization process severall times. It never works. It goes through all the steps, but doesn't actually flash the firmware.
Jodin3: dowload site for Jodin3 is offline... I can't find a copy.
Online Jodin3: seems no longer compatible with the latest Java version.
Can anyone help? How can I flash stock firmware (I already have the correct .tar.md5 file)?
Parallel or Vmware Fusion and run odin natively.

Well Blu and Amazon have released that there are backdoors the firmware. They claim that the latest versions have closed those backdoors. So probably should not remain on 6.1.
But if you root now then use the Roms from the XDA forum you can also close those backdoors. And be ad free.
I know there are many pages to get caught up on. But if you browse at least the titles of the various threads, it is good place to start.
Now I do not know of a mac specific guide. The process of rooting uses sp flash tool. Then fastboot.
Many others have done it fine with mac, but did not make guides. I assume it is not that different.

you may have to read the .sh file and do the commands one by one manually
as long as adb is working in mac.
also if your on 6.1 you dont need to do it with the dirtycow method.
