[Q] ODIN - Check image files !! Works for others though...

So I've downloaded the following kernels from a link here on XDA that should be swapping kernels to allow me root on my recently upgraded, stock ROGERS 2.3.3 Captivate. Odin is telling me to "Check image files !!" when I load the .tar files into the Select Intergrated Package (and yes, the one package switch is on). I opened the tar to double check it wasn't double-compressed.
What else would be giving me this problem? I'm using Odin 4.28. Curiously, it is showing my phone as detected, my phone IS in downloading mode, but Odin just says (Android) in the Title, no specific model. But it says it's found it on COM 6. <1> Added!! and Detected!!
It's when I load up the kernel tar's and try to start that it yells at me. Is this triggering anything in anyone's mind that I'm doing wrong? Or do I need to provide more info?
I am using Vista 32-bit (legit) on a Dell studioXPS. And I ran it as administrator.

never heard of ODIN 4.28. i think its only up to version 1.82 or so.
sounds like you are using the wrong ODIN

Yeah. That is def the wrong version of Odin. Download the i9000 bootloaders in my sig. Unzip it. Delete the pda.tar.md5 file. Use the included version of Odin (1.82 I think) to flash your kernel.

Alright, quick question - I accidentally flashed the phone, not the pda. I tried to flash the KH2 modem back via phone but ODIN failed. Kies is currently not detecting the phone, and so I decided to try flashing the PDA while I had it open and I would figure the modem out after. ODIN hung, so I closed it and rebooted out of downloading mode and got the Phone ! Computer error. So I figure now I have to flash back to the stock rom and start over again, but this time I would like some advice as to which step to take next. I downloaded I896UXKH2-HOMEBINARY.tar.md5 from another thread here. Can I flash this with Odin - and if so, which is the place to load it? Bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC? I have no PIT files.

Think it goes into the pda slot. Go back to the thread t you got it from and read the first post of the thread. Also restart your computer before trying to flash again.

can someone upload the modem.zip, please thank you

Odin Stuck On NAND Write Start?

I rooted my phone and wanted to flash back to stock so I can update with the OTA and re-root, but I downloaded the zip for the AT&T tar files and everything seemed to pass MD5 checks and went okay, but as soon as I hit Start, the program just continues to say NAND Write Start for over 20 minutes, and won't flash, how do I go about re-trying this without bricking my device? It's still plugged in atm in download mode.

What version of Odin are you using? I had this problem because I had v3.10 and the s6 is not compatible with that version, you have to have v3.10.6.

Mine did that, I closed odin, reopened, put each .md5 file in right section (AP in AP, BL in BL, CSC in CSC, ect) and it worked

If Odin is having trouble flashing to your phone. Here is some simply tips and tricks to try.
1. Try flashing everything except for the bootloader .
2. Try running Odin as admin.
3. Try upgrading to the newest Odin available.
4. If all else fails, open Samsung Kies, and go to emergency recovery, put your model # and serial # in, and it will flash your phone to stock for you, then you can try again.
5. Also make sure all of the correct drivers are installed for your phone, sometimes Windows can be bad about that. Try getting drivers from samsung directly.
6. Try a new USB Cable, as crazy as that is, I have had some not work, and others work fine.
7. Try a different USB Port on the PC, or restart the PC.
I hope this helps.

I tried just flashing the ROM and CSC and it flashed just fine, I left out the CP file, what is that? Everything seems fine just flashing the ROM and CSC, but do I need to flash the CP file too, for anything?

CSC is the consumer software customization and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
I hope this helps

I didnt get it. Do you mean to put each .md5 file in all sections? ? Please help me

Please help me out. I am having same problem NAND WRITE stuck.

Solved
Thanks everyone for your post. But what I did is, just downloaded the Odin v3.10.6......that worked with S6. And I guess S6 is not compatible to other earlier versions of odin. So better try with Odin v3.10.6.

Nand write start fail solved
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V

Yes, I gave up but a friend of mine found a thread that talks about using Kies to bring it back to factory default. You need to know the serial # and IMEI # If you can find this information, you can reset it using Kies.

Had the same problem. Used Odin 3.10.6
But before all this, I connected phone with debugging enabled in windows and authorized it, the problem never resurfaced

Custom binary blocked Reactive Lock

rooted my phone using ping pong and continued to flash TWRP. thats when it happened. I dont think usb debugging was ever enabled and I didnt know about the knox feature.
Tried using Odin but it isnt detecting the phone. I am really stuck. help please!

Do you have the proper drivers installed on your PC? Are you putting the device in Odin mode before connecting?

whats the new u1 ure flashing to?
also maybe ure usb cable is at fault. also if ure on win 10 make sure ure on max performance in power settings.
and lastly mabe a bad downlaod. check checksum. maybe use samfirm tool v0.3.6 to dl u1 firmware

I tried All sorts of cables on the laptop. On my desktop odin sees the port but doesnt flash at all just says completed or gets stuck on initializing. The firmware that completes all the way till the end and gets stuck is N960USQU2CSI1_CCT. Also i tried to write the orginal firmware i was on but it gets stuck on vendor.img.ext4 and nothing happens. At the moment im trying to download the latest tmboile CSI1 version to see if it flashes.

Install Stock ROM with Odin. Download last version with Frija. Or try open Recovery Mode and in Recovery Mode make factory/reset, restart phone. After this you will lost all what you installed.

OK I DL'd the stock ROM, it's in that weird enc4. Do I just unzip that and install it with ODIN?

Yes, unzip and install with ODIN. AP, BL, CP and CSC.

Ok well new problem. I can't seem to get it to recognize the phone on my computer when I plug in the USB cable. It charges though. WTF?

Did you install the latest driver? Try change USB socket. Open ODIN as Administrator.
