Downloading and using Odin - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying without any luck to download Odin program. Any ideas ?
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app

Out of curiosity, what are you planning to use Odin for on a Nook Color? I thought it was a computer utility to flash Samsung stuff, but maybe I'm totally wrong there. I have used it myself to flash firmware to Samsung devices, but that's it.

My Samsung fascinate is stuck in a boot loop after trying to flash a new ROM. I usually use my laptop to use the Odin program but I am away from home til Sunday. I do however have my nook color ( rooted, running cyanogen mod 10.1) just wondering if some way I could use it to run Odin and flash my fassy back to stock, or just do without til Sunday night .

Odin is a windows program. Even if you could find it and download it, the NC could not run it.

Use Heimdall, it's really easy to use. I used it to flash my dad's Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile.
Did I mention Heimdall is cross platform and open source?

Just a couple of quick clarifications. There is an Odin Mobile app that can be used to flash roms. BUT it only works on selected Samsung devices, notably the older Samsung Galaxy phones. No way to use it to try what you want. No connection to NC at all. Unless your Fascinate is utterly bricked past the point you have to use a jig just to get in download mode, sagirfahmid3 is right. Your best bet is Heimdall.

Mobile Odin now Supports the Galaxy Tab 7.7

Mobile OdIn by Chainfire now has support for the P6800 and P6810. Just a heads up for P6800 and 6810 owners.. Let the mobile flashing begin..!
Now we need some roms.. Lol

im noob for samsung, what is mobile odin?
Good news. Thx.
The problem is that it can't operate. It tells me that there is unexpected partition and shuts down. ):
I saw that too and contacted Chainfire and he resolved the issue.. there is a new build and it does not report any error on my device.. As always use @ your own risk..!
Will we be able to flash ROM's with CWM anytime soon ?
I'm used to that using my Note, ODIN seems more technical (need to know what ur doing)
So if some cook decided to build a custom ROM , would be be able to flash via (mobile) ODIN, and/or CWM?
Odin support since I bought my tab last week. Been using it already to flash Australia firmware ;-)

Assuming CWN works correctly you will be able to flash as soon as someone releases a rom.
As for Odin being to "technical", If you do NOT know how to use odin, then you should NOT be modding your device. Odin is a simple click, add the file, press start. How hard is that?
Not everything can be spoon fed.
Edit: Also why is this in development? Should be in general.
My sincere thanks to you for your first line, the answer.
The rest, well, it's a forum and It got a lot worse after 2008.
Golden years were 2005-2008.

what do you do after mobile Odin has downloaded a dump file to make device compatable???
Chainfire has already done the work to make Mobile Odin work with P6800/6810. If you're using mobile odin lite, you need to download the flash kernel manually from chainfire's thread. The paid version from market should do this automatically.
i've tried both technic to flash mine.. mobile odin pro just made my device went to loop booting. then i used odin 1.85 rev. 3 for wwindows which made my device alive again..

Since it was updated to support the p6800 I have never used Odin on my laptops/desktops again, and haven't had any issues flashing from the device with mobile Odin. You should check to make sure everything is set correctly and you have the flash kernel loaded properly..

MTP broken since MF9 update.

I'm running a totally stock Sprint Galaxy S4. I recently updated my firmware and I'm now unable to connect to Odin or use MTP for file transfer. My phone will mount as a camera. I have used various cables to rule that out. I also went to the Samsung website to get the latest usb drivers. I went so far as to wipe my phone too. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to root my phone. I have a stock recovery so I'm limited on what I can flash. I also downloaded official firmware but had signature issues. Please help Lord Vader. I must destroy Jedi Scum

I know it's the wrong section but must answer. My S4 refused to connect. I tried x3 cheap-o-usb connect wires (even a HTC wire which I was told was high quality) and as a last result I used my Western Digital Portable Hard Drive cord which is notably much thicker and it connected.

Try uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling? If Odin doesn't recognize it, it seems to be a driver issue. Or try to connect your phone to a different PC.

What is bricking phones is people trying to flash custom recoveries on MF3. You can NOT do it, but people keep doing it.. despite the 10000 warnings on here.
OP. This is a development forum. Yes we know what that is, we know how to use it. I suggest you read the sticky threads in all sections if you are interested in anything with your phone. If not, do not attempt to do anything at all. You will more than likely end up with a really expensive paperweight.
Btw, that is the warning screen before you get to Odin mode. Odin is a flashing tool for Samsung devices used on a computer.

Pushing up is how it goes to odin mode. Which at this time IF your on MF3 OTA firmware would be useless since there is no custom recovery anyways. So the ONLY thing for those on MF3 OTA firmware is if they were going into odin mode to flash the MF3 firmware again (for examole at the Samsung Experience inside BestBuys.
For those that have MDL or MDB firmwares then that is what you DO USE to get into odin mode (so that the odin application can be used to communicate and flash the phone to custom firmwares).
So LONG STORY SHORT Yes we have all pushed up and have seen it and installed custom firmwares (For those that have rooted and installed custom firmwares that is).
Also if you did push up the ohone goes into odin mode. It will not brick your phone. You can just hold the power button until it fully powers off and then restart the phone and your back to normal as nothibg wiuld be changed,flashed, or anything.

[Q] Wipe EVERYTHING and back to stock on a Mac?

I'm giving up my GS4 and need to wipe absolutely everything and put it back to complete stock, however I only have access to a Mac. What's the safest and easiest way to do so and reset the flash counter on the way?

No. If you need to reset that, you will need to root on stock, and then use triangle triangle away to reset it, then use SuperSu to unroot.

You can go to sammobile.com look for the MDL tar file for odin and flash through Odin.

Actually, is there a 100% stock ROM of the latest, or second to latest, that I could flash through TWRP, and then update to whatever the latest is through it?I can delete everything manually, but that would be an easy way to stock, right?

It sounds like flashing files through ADB/fastboot on a Nexus. But man do I miss One-Click packages like they had back in my E4GT days. If only there was... I'd even do what I can and get to a Windows computer ASAP if I could get a One-click.

I liked adb/fastboot on my nexus one. Lots of versatility. I only have the iMac bc my daughter-in-law gave me one when my sony vaio crashed. kinda liking it though.
I did a full restore on a mac using Heimdall and I did not need to use the command line. I did not look at the linked thread very carefully so you may have found what you are looking for. If you'd prefer my method of using the Heimdall GUI, shoot me a PM and I'll post instructions here. I'd actually been meaning to work out how to make a Heimdall package...hmmm....

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
