Can I root my Note 4 with Lollipop with this version of Odin? I am using my Notebook with very small screen and this version of Odin has the Start Button located in the middle of the screen rather the newer versions all have the Start Buttons at the bottom of page which cannot be seen or gotten to on my very small Netbook Screen. Hope I made myself clear.
Thanks,
Vinny
I don't think the version matters if Odin detects your phone it will work

Thanks, just thought I had read somewhere that Lollipop needed the newer version of Odin. I guess it couldn't hurt to try.

Funny story, Odin 3.0x kept dying on my laptop for some reason so I had to Odin stock with 1.85 (cod6 firmware) worked fine I had to Odin flash my note 2 also & used 1.85. I love 3.0x versions but 1.85 seems to be the most stable if the lot. Good luck.

I am having THE hardest time flashing back to stock rom using heimdall. I dont know how to use it, unfortunately i cannot use Odin..if anyone could instruct me on a step to step guide to getting this done, that would be great. i cannot seem to find one after looking for a good hour and a half :/ i got to samfirmware.com but once i download it asks me for a password and i input it (the one it shows to input) and it doesnt work.
Thank you
Just wondering, why can't you use Odin?
Sent from my Cappy using XDA App
something like this
Code:
$ heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs ..... --kernel zImage
just type "heimdall" and it will print the usage format. you can flash whatever you want.
Tell us what OS you are using. Do you have the most current version of Heimdal?
Also, try unzipping the firmware with a different tool.(what are you using)?
The reason I cannot use odin is because I have a mac and odin is not mac compatible. I am using precision v3.5. Firmware 2.2.1 I've used the normal text editor and zipeg. And I have the most recent heimdall

so since you are already on a 2.2 rom we will hope you are not having the mac sbl.bin problems.
steps are:
1 grab the stock firmware from here if you want froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403
or find the equivalent eclair version in the forums or on the samsung firmwares site.
2 unpack the archive
3 unpack it again so you just have the various files in a folder. there are 4 important files in the froyo linked above and one .dll you can ignore.
4 put your phone in download mode
5 put the 4 file in the proper slots (see attached image)
6 hit start.. wait...
If Heimdall cannot see your phone you might be having the sbl problem. head over to the main heimdall support thread and search around... ther are quite a few mac users over there
Has anyone sucessfully been able to flash Samsung stock 2.2 using Heimdall?
For some reason when it's flashing factoryfs it fails at 43% "failed sending data packet"
I have downloaded KB1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403
And tried the .zip file that Kies downloads during it's upgrade process, both do the same thing.
Ultimately I'd like to find a universal flashing method to be able to restore my phone back to stock. While also being able to flash Clockwork kernels for rebuilding CM7.
The only way I've been able to get CM7 to load successfully is to Odin1Click back to JF6 then use Kies (which requires a different USB driver) to get 2.2 loaded.
Then install USB driver for Heimdall, to flash a Clockwork kernel for CM7 load.
If something goes sideways this process starts all over again.
Reinstalling USB drivers over and over again is getting rather tedious.
Would really like to find out why Heimdall is failing when flashing factoryfs.
why would you upgrade to 2.2 to get to CM7??? you can go to CM7 straight from 2.1 JF6
Bootloader question?
I made a post recently asking "What's the diff between 2.1 and 2.2 bootloaders?"
Nobody knows (or few cared to share their knowledge with the group). The best answer I got was, (paraphrased) 'none?'

and what do you think is different about the 2 different versions in regards to a rom install?
both have to use the same recovery 2e and clockworkmod......the OS version doesnt mean ish to clockwork....

At this point in time I'd be happy if I could get in back to 2.1....can't get either Odin1Click or Odin to reload 2.1...both are hanging when it tries to write the factoryfs files.
Which makes no sense at all...I had used 1Click twice earlier today and it worked fine...but now it's crapping out and no clue why.
Making me regret leaving my laptop at work...last time I had this issue I did the same process from my laptop and it worked.
Even stranger, first time I went through this process from this PC it worked...but isn't now.
Tried to get back to JF6 using download from samfirmware.com and using
Heimdall...will flash everything sucessfully (see attachment) except factoryfs. If factoryfs is selected, it chokes at 37%....attempted to flash factoryfs from command line and Heimdall fails with error "Failed to send data packet" or something along that line.

UPDATE: CM7 lives again, after Odin took 7 hrs. to push factoryfs to my phone only to have boot animation go garbled and lockup. I took my phone to work, used Heimdall on my laptop to flash JF6 and it was successful, was then able to re-flash Speedmod Kernel and CM7 nightly-50.
Next time I have to do this with my desktop I think I'm going to use USB Deview and blow away any Samsung devices listed.
i installed all required files in ubuntu , but i cant see gui interface ? like this
thanks.

He's right though. All you need is cwm and your good. I've been on CM7 since March and have fts a few times. Did it yesterday and flashed CM7 from 2.1JF6. All good in the hood!

you need to install the heimdall frontend (if you haven't already) - that is the heimdall gui.

Just curious but have you tried running Odin as an administrator? I've had some problems with Odin if I was running it as an administrator.
On a side note, I think there should be a version on Odin for linux since android runs on a linux kernel....just saying!
FYI: the odin for linux is called Heimdal (I think i spelled that right).
I was having issues with Odin one-click, so i used Regular Odin (1.82) and found the stock rom online. Plugged that into the "Pin" section and flashed away. This worked perfectly for me. Hope that helps.
I have rooted my Galaxy s2 and speaking to a friend recommended rooting to his older Galaxy S...This he did to his Galaxy S (see below) but has Boot problems and no GPS.
Can anyone recommend a nice rom/kernal that should run the phone nicely.
F.W 2.3.3
Kernal 2.6.35.7.I900

Thanks
Easiest solution is to grab a stock firmware from samfirmware.com and flash back to stock using Odin. Make sure to select repartition to wipe the phone and make sure you use all the files from samfirmware that you downloaded in Odin.

Darkyys rom is always a good option. Adds a load of features, speed boost. This is obviously if you wanted to keep root.
My Tab is second-hand, and was rooted when I bought it - Froyo 2.2. I am attempting to re-stock and flash a new ROM, since this one started acting crazy.
I'm using the Overcome Guide, but am worried I made a mistake with the modem selection. The Tab is from T-Mobile, but I don't have a SIM, and I think a new modem was flashed on the device: a JK5. I chose the T-Mobile modem .bin for the re-stock first flash, and now Odin seems stuck on the setup connection (for almost an hour now). I'm using Odin 1.85
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance from an utter n00b.

If its stuck at setup connection then there's not much you can do except close Odin and open it back up if it hasn't started flashing anything then you should be ok
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
If you are using Overcome Guide, you should be using Odin 1.7 that is included in GB-stock-safe-v5
Not sure about other people, but I don't get success using 1.85.
Besides, best to stick to what the guide says.
Working like a charm now
My USB drivers installed and re-installed and I realized that although the KIES was running on the Tab that didn't mean it was installed on the PC. Fixed that and now I've got the whole Overcome shebang up and running.
Thanks!
I don't even know there is a KIES in the tab.

There is. It was highly useful for making my home button work again after my Tab would do this weird semi-factory reset. The wireless would turn off, my home screen went back to stock, my apps would all be in alphabetical order, and the home key wouldn't work at all. It was fixable, but annoying and it kept happening (along with other wonky stuff), which finally caused me to flash the new ROM. And I'm highly grateful, I like this one so much better. It's like having a whole new device!
I got my cousin's old captivate from him that he used to root/hack etc with and I want to restore it to stock. When I use Heimdall Frontend 1.3.1 on my Mac after putting the phone in download mode it says the phone isn't detected. My cousin doesn't remember what he did to the phone but now it says the firmware is "2.1-update1", the Kernel version is "2.6.29 [email protected] #2" and the Build number is "ECLAIR". I'm not sure what all it means but after googling I'm pretty sure that isn't stock. I'm not the best at doing this sort of stuff but I can't find any results or answers for what to do. Is there a way to get my computer to recognize the phone? Thanks

Mobile Odin back to stock. Lite version is here on XDA, pro is on the market. All you need is a tar.md5 file, or a One-Click. Although you'll need a way to upgrade to the GB bootloader though, if you want to play around. Are you sure you can't bootcamp?
