You would need to extract the images out of them and then make a flashing script. Does charging work?

Yes, it does very slowly but it does through pc only.
Is there a guide to follow creating that script? And is there a specific order i need to flash them in?

I have never made one, but I'm sure there is a guide somewhere.And you will need to enable flashing to bootloader in the twrp app. One wrong mistake though, will brick your phone. So it is very risky. Personally I wouldn't recommend it.

I would say to just use your SD card.. Take it out and put it in another phone load your firmware onto it and then put it back into your other phone and boot into recovery mode and choose install from sd card..

Tht won't work with a stock tar file or an update zip though.

I guess I'll have to fix the usb port first then use odin then.

Cannot install custom kernels

Whenever I tried to install CF - Root (For JVT Firmware) or Speedmod through Odin, it installs but quickly says fail which then leads to the
Phone.....!.... Computer image. For me to fix the issue, I have to re-flash the ROM.
Is there anyway to install Kernels without having Odin to say fail?
I heard on one website that they say it may be Bootloaders that are causing the issues.
u have a bad connection to pc. maybe cable or phone plug

I agree on that since I try the connections on my computer and Odin doesn't pick up on COM 1 untill I plug one in a specific USB port it works....
Funny thing is, the connections I haven't had a problem for flashing either JVT through One Click Hemindall or manually on Odin but for Kernel, it always fails.
try that... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899.
You can put kernel on sdcard and flash it this way.

My phone isn't rooted. Tried to install CF - Root before but it failed.
Market, pro version, contains root...

Another question,
Could this be a simpler way to flash the root files or Kernel in?
Go to my Android 3e Recovery and flash them via SD card?
Or is CWM really neeeded to do this?
Again, mentioned by me soft contains CWM ...

Sorry, couldn't understand what you were saying in the last post.
By software you mean CF-Root or the custom kernels?
Sorry for being a noob here....
But those softwares can't be installed VIA Odin, because it pops up FAIL.

Quick nooby question

Can i use Odin to flash just the modem? And nothing else gets touched?
cwm does that easier, but if u prep the ,tar correctly ya should.

modems in odin are just .bin files. no need for tars
Right, was thinking of pda slot. Still easier to use cwm.
Yes but i flashed the latest i9000 modem jv9 to try and its not letting me flash to anything else. So i thought Odin might fix that without having to do a full wipe

Yes. And...Just put the modem.bin of your choice in the PHONE slot of the regular Odin and connect ur phone in download mode and then select Start.
Alright sweet. Thanks a lot

SM-920T stuck on logo screen

I messed up
Tried to unroot my N5 and ended up bricking it.
I dont have original backup (pc formatted) so i tried flashing another 920T ROM to it but it keepos failing.
When i flash Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root and philz_touch i get a pass on each. Just trying differentways to get in.
I try sideloading and adb says success but nothing happens on the phone.
I've already done a factory reset so nothing to save here, I just want to get it up and running.
I've done quite a bit of reading on here but i know i need help.
Using Odin 3.09, 3.10.6 &.7
Any help appreciated.

Why didn't you use the recovery to make a backup so you could easily restore it when something like this happens?
Download the correct firmware for your phone and then extract it so all of the files are able to be put in the slots on Odin (BL, PA etc etc) because you have to flash them like that now.

Thanks for the reply. Newbie dumbass move i guess. still learning.
Question...when i extract the files, will i have to load them individually to their correct slots or do i just select one file and it auto populates ?
On another note, i managed to sideload a zip just now but nothing came of that.

You have to put them all in the respective slots individually but at the same time so they flash 1 after the other..
Try getting the firmware from here.

Also, follow my guide here but use your firmware and not Verizon!

Ok, so I'm back......after trying several things which i'll list step by step for someone else who may be frustrated
I got the zip you linked to but i couldn't get the individual files for loading. all i saw was N920Txxxx.md5 and it kept failing when i hit start. (was loading it in AP)
I then deleted the .md5 extension and it became a .tar in Winrar format.
I extracted the files and got the sboot.bin to load in CP, this got a PASS.
Still stuck on logo after reboot.
Next i loaded the .tar file in CSC and Voila ! Wrote, got PASS, phone rebooted and now works fine.
My hat off to you MrMike2182 :good:
Now i'm going to look up how to clear the Knox counter.

You cannot flash custom rom in odin even if it's in tar format.
Check twrp version should be latest and must be for your particular model.
Make wipe first before flashing any rom to avoid and errors.

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.
