Help Using Odin To Upgrade Stock Firmware

I would like to upgrade my stock firmware to KL4 using Odin and am unsure if I need a Pit file or will the tar file be all that I need. Also, do I need to select "Re-Partition" in Odin?
Thanks for any help

you dont need the pit file, you just need the tar file or the files containe within the tar file

If you have 3 files after extracting (CODE,MODEM,CSC) then attach these three files as PDA=CODE , PHONE=MODEM, CSC=CSC, if you have one file the attach it in PDA,
Then UnCheck Re-partition,
no need to select Pit file,
Put your phone in download mode,
Attach phone to PC
Once your PC detects your Phone Click Start
After Flashing Device restarts twice. Done..

Thanks very much for your very helpful reply.

Remember using PC Odin to update, you are closing way to Root your device, If you want to Root it, just Root before it. See installation guide on my signature for further detail

Thanks for your advice and the guides which are very helpful. I've downloaded the German stock ROM (LA4) from your list but I've been unable to extract the tar file using Winzip, so I'm stuck at the moment. Any further help from anyone how to extract the files would be appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help. I didn't know that Winzip did not work and that I needed 7z which I have downloaded and extracted the tar file.

I had a problem with Odin. Could not get it to flash la4 no matter what I tried.
So I bought mobile odin , put the relevant file on my phone and I was upgraded in under ten min Awesome app, sometimes its worth payin some money to get the job done
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

problem with i9001

hey guys i have a problem with the cymod 4.99 rom.i ca paste it normally in odin(aries ve ops and the cymod.tar file)but odin doesnt recognize the rom .what can i do?

Hm, can you explain that a little bit further ?
What file do you have downloaded ?
There are two links, one for a rar and one for a zip.
The Rar file is the right one, the zip is only a update if you want to update a 4-9 to a 4.99.
For odin you must use the cymod-04-99.rar.
You first must unrar this one, then you find a .tar, the Odin - exe and a Aries.ops.
Use the odin in the rar, choose "One-Package", select the Aries.ops @ ops and the tar at "One Package".
This should work just fine...

[Q] need (my files) app on captivate

does anyone know if there is a apk file or something so i could flash the my files app on my cappy that usually come on the cappy with the official firmwares? i just need some kind of file to do that because i dont like astro and es file manager, etc. even a link to somewere where this has been done before would help, thanks.

I don't have an answer for you, just a recommended alternative in case you cannot find My Files.
I put Dual File Manager on every rom I try.

View attachment MyFiles.apk
here is
I promise nothing

ok mabye not, i meant a .tar file so i can flash with odin3

sorry about that

Why did you just open a new thread for that???
Take this apk and follow any of the ways i described in that thread....and in the future DON'T OPEN NEW THREADS FORE THE SAME THING!

sorry, then how do i do that with the apk file? like how do i make that a tar file or something to flash it with odin

Check your other thread...i listed 3 options.

[Q] Cannot open Kies/Samsung firmware file

Hello forum-comers,
I want to update my cell's firmware using Kies, but neither this nor FOTA are possible. I've trying using Kies to download a firmware file (to %username%\appdata\local\temp\Binary\GT-I9000 folder), and got a "download complete" notice. The file is supposed to be a *.tar archive containing other *.tar archives that are flashable with Odin, but it has no extension (just a name) and I can't open it. I've tried adding a *.tar or a *.zip extension but it didn't seem to help.
Does anyone know how to open or use that file?

Problem solved
Okay, it turns out that the file is encrypted somehow, and there's a program that can open it (as well as check and download firmware without the Kies suite) - it's called Check Fus, and you can read about it on this thread from a couple of years ago, or head to the dev's website. The decrypted file is a zip containing both a firmware *.tar file that can be flashed using Odin, as well as a *.dll the purpose of which I don't know.

Odin not reading combo files for region change

I have been running into an issue while trying to flash and change regions for my GW3. I know I have the file that is needed for the AP part of the procedure. But after connecting to my watch via wireless download, Odin will not see the files in file explorer on Windows 10.
Watch is Canada region with latest build, and running Tizen 5.5.0.2.
Have ECG, BP, and Samsung health manager caravan loaded via .apk. Just trying to get sp02 running as well until health Canada approves it for the north.
Has anyone run into this issue? Or any insight to a fix?

?
netOdin and Odin and can only handle 2 fileextension...
Code:
.tar.md5
.tar
Best Regards

So if the file I have downloaded includes the .7z extension as well is there a way to convert it to what Odin will recognize? Sorry if this is covered somewhere. If it is, than I missed it. I'm using the YouTube guide for switching regions. Which was where I got the download link from. I do have experience flashing pixels and iPhones. This is my first foray into Odin for flashing files.

Download 7zip (free open source) https://www.7-zip.org/
Use that to open the .7z file and extract the .tar.md5 file
