{REF} ODINv1 The Visual Guide

Hello all. If you are as tired of this ODIN method as i am, than you on the same boat. This sucks. But its all we have. So i have made a visual guide to odin. Attached below.Its a JPEG. Feel free to download it, rather than flip from pages to pages to find it. Thanks again. Any other requests please email me [email protected]
Here goes.
REMEMBER PEOPLE I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DECIDE TO BLOW UP THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, WARS, FIGHTS, and in NO WAY responsible for bricking if
Trust me, i have been in this scene 2 years now, since the g1, and i can bet that this phone will continue to blow peoples minds with its capabilities. This ODIN, is pre-historic. But the best way. I know there are 45 other flashing programs, guides, but none of them helped me like i bet this will help you. If you need any more screenshots of the process shoot me an email, or gtalk. Thanks again guys/girs.

I Can also do screens of all Lag-Fix applications, but only on request, cause once you get this, and clockwork. You should have the phone mastered.

added to the bible

Thanks for the thread. almyz125 has added it to the 'Vibrant directory' which is already a sticky.

Glad i could help guys. Anything else, let me know.

thanks!
Thanks Groid!
I have not used Odin yet as I am new to Android, but I am positive I will at some point.
One thing that would really help this guide would be all the necessary files that you reference. I know they can be found via a search.... but it can be pretty nerv-racking when trying what you need when your device is dying.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks/ Andrew/

You might wanna also add that you need to remove both your sim card and memory card in order for Odin to flash your phone.

Why would you need to remove anything, I've used ODIN about seven times and the only thing I had to do was have the phone in download mode...

+1 It is not necessary to have odin flash your kernel.

maybe mixed results? for me, i cant flash back to stock nor can i flash the kernal without removing both sim and memory card. if i have the sim and memory card inserted it gets stuck at the "zimage" part.

I've had it stick there before too, but I usually just close odin, unplug my phone, open odin again, and plug my phone in again. usually after that it works

They say so, i do, but once did with them in, and i was okay. But better to be safe than sorry.
And i will be posting the links to the various files, or the page that has the linkage, it is in the Bible along with this guide. Anything else let me know.

Its a joke people..

Thanks for this. While I felt like I had the steps in my head right for flashing ODIN...It was super helpful to have a pic reference.

does anyone know what the differences are between the 512 pit file and the 803 pit file floating around? Im assuming there different partition size layouts but whats the deal? I guess people have flashed the 803 pit file and it works the same as the 512 but what really changes i have yet to find??

please delete. answer found.

You justg saved my butter! My Bionix butter that is. Thanks guys, you guys are the best

the difference i do know is that the 803 pit file changes your entire system, and the way it runs. It sets it up differently, thats why you need it for generally most Froyo's or deviations of the i9000 2.2 (803.pit).
So other than a number, and a file system change .. not a thing

This was working just fine until I installed Master Rom 1.1 Now I can't use Odin. It'll load like it always did, I go to download mode and get everything set right on Odin and it Go and then it hangs. I've tried this process now 20 times to no avail. Any ideas what's hanging it up?

[Q] Home button and recovery

Hi.
I have strange problem. My home button doesn't work but I'm able to go into recovery and download (by 3-button combo). I changed plenty firmwares with pit and repartition with no success. Anyone can help??

boot into recovery, try and 'fix permissions' and also there is an option of 'key test' or something similar to that.
what ROM was you on / flashed when this problem arose ??

On criscelo v.3.7 after aplying fugu kernel. I will try what you said and report.

fugu kernel, there you go thats your culprit
flash a different kernel thru odin or recovery and i bet you that fixes the issue.

But as I said I changed plenty firmwares with repartition. So I don't think I would help a lot...
Ok i tried to fix permisions and key test. On key test it doesn't show that my home button works - but still I am able to go into recovery and download with 3 button. So home button in some way works. However it doesn't work in recovery and in rom. So it's hardware related or I should try anything else?? But how it can be hardware related as I can go into recovery and download...

thats the mystery puzzling my mind too lol.
it most definitely cant be hardware related. does recovery and download mode work EVERYTIME without fail ??
what was the oldest firmware you flashed ?? may i recommend going way way back to eclair. something like JM1 with a 512PIT ??

Yes I can enter recovery and download always.
I can try even older than JM1 if it would help. But ok will try JM1. Just install with re-partition and check if it help or anything else??

yea but make sure it comes in all 3 files. phone modem csc. and add the 512 PIT, and make sure re-partition is checked.
then report back good luck i have my fingers crossed for ya !

It didn't work :/ What to do now. Mayby there is any code to fix home button firmware or something :/
It's really strange. I can try even older firmware.

i dont think that FW is going to be the issue,
this seems a little more complex then i originally thought
phone does still work tho right ??
try this app i have attached and see if you can fix it..
if not we gonna need some help from a nice helpful friendly developer lol.

Still no sucess :/
Probably I will give it on warranty...

oh dear !!
i really thought we would of cracked it by now.
i have no more ideas. i wish i could help even more.
its such sad news (for me) when a SGS has to be sent away for repairs.
i always feel as if its a child being sent into foster care, thats how it makes me feel

It occurs that I have home button pushed all the time. So I can enter recovery and download without pressing home button. Is there simply way to fix this or only warranty?

No confused was the dazzler as he could not help .
My view is always flash stock Eclair rom with pit and repartition to rule out software/rom error leaving only hardware problem .

[Q] Captivate GPS not working.

That's what I'm working with right now. I had many roms before I decided to come back to the stock version listed above. Now, I'm trying to get the gps going and the GPS Test shows that the phone doesnt connect to any satellites. I tried some other gps programs and they don't seem to be working either, due to no satellite signal. Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT:
GPS test found 3 satellites in the area, but it won't connect to any...

Update to UCKK4 then we can help you

where can i find it? it doesn't seem to be posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
edit: just kidding, didnt scroll down. silly me

Updated, still same thing. What do u think? I also tried the use of wireless networks and still didn't help. Ideas?

Did you factory reset? Maybe your GPS antenna isn't working... When did this start happening?

It's been like that for quite a while. It's hard for me to estimate since I've never really used gps. I didn't do a factory reset, I used the "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe."

^
For the GPS... Turn GPS on, go into Angry GPS (*#*#3214789650#*#*). Under Settings/ Supl Settings/ Change the Server to supl.google.com and change the Server Port to 7276 . Select Done. Then hit back twice and select Delete GPS Data. Then hit back twice and u should be home. Install the free GPS Test app from the Market and check it. U should be a whole lot better now.

Okay, seems like we're getting closer to solving this. After doing what 4-2ndtwin said my phone started to lfind more satellites in the area, although it's not connecting to any of them. Am i suppose to somehow connect to them, im guessing it should be automatic.
Edit: Nevermind! I had to wait a second. Thanks to both of you. Problem solved!

still no gps
I have the same problem as Satis1994 ... no satellites under gps test app ... I also used I the "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe." . I did what 4-2ndtwin suggested but... nothing! GPS icon just keep flashing ... and that's it .... please help!

Under Settings/ Applications/ Manage applications, go to GPS Test app and clear data, clear cache, force stop. Back out to Home and try again. If not successful afterwards, then u may need to try another modem.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

thanks for your fast reply ... I followed those settings but nothing ... it doesn't even find a single satellite. You mentioned that maybe I need to try another modem ... sorry but I'm kinda of a newbie ... how you do that?

U can use Odin3 v1.83 or similar to flash a modem. Run Odin on ur pc, select the PHONE tab, and navigate on ur pc to the modem.bin file of the modem of ur choice (must be i897 based because u r running an i897 firmware. [there is a modem stickied thread in the Dev forum]), connect ur phone to ur pc in Download mode and select Start. Modem will get flashed. Phone will reboot and u r done.
Or if u r running corn kernel that has cwm recovery, u can simply flash ur "cwm modem.zip" file through said recovery.
There are probably several videos on the youtube that u could check out. (i made a short tutorual a long time ago. Look in my signature link below if u r on a pc, there is a link to it there, as well as other videos).
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

thanks! I'll try some of those modems ... by any chance do you know which one will work better @ CT ? And how do I go back if the modem that I install doesn't work ??

There is a map in that modem thread that shows where people have posted where they live and a good workin modem for their area.
And u can go back to the original modem just like u flash any other modem.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

I think that I'm doing something wrong cause i don't see any pins in the map ... I'll check it later ... But I really appreciate all your help ...

Ok. I've tried different modems and still doesn't find any satellites. It's strange. Is it possible that my gps is just not operational?

Try reinstalling the drivers...

So, after a long time i came across it again, sorry for waking the thread from the dead, but its better than just to create a new one. So im fairly new to flashing samsung firmware, so to speak i have no idea how it goes. I have a htc and its fairly simple. So now i connected it and widnows installed the drivers and i did kies.

The tab does not respont to anything,it wont turn on by any means , but windows and odin detected it. I've seen that you can unbrick it from soft brick but i cant get to download mode

Try OneClickUnbrick,
search for it.

Tried it, didnt work, when i clicked it it jsut sent me to the help centre, where i had to install three things, framework.net for windows which i have,heimdall i had, and the other thing it installed, so i rebooted the computer and it still did not detect it. It states in the thread that the oneclickunbrick is for soft bricks. And i cant even reach the boot logo nor download mode.

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help ;)

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Forgot to mention that FRP is Locked

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.

You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.
