Does using ODIN erase all the data ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
i want to upgrade the Android version in my S4 GT-I9505 with the latest stock rom, but due to some errors in Kies i cant update the firmware so i decided to do that through ODIN, My question is does upgrading through Odin (using PDA option ) erase all the data in the mobile ?
Thanks

Don't Use the rest of options! Don't use "re-partition" or PIT ever until you know what you are doing ,Odin won't wipe your data,but it is recommended to wipe all your data and cache from recovery,for ROM Stability it is useful when you are shifting stock ROM regions CSC etc.

[Q] GT-i9500CHN

Dear All,
I am struggling to introduce different firmware to my GT-i9500CHN.
I have got from China original Samsung retailer. (went thru several checks it is genuine GT-i9500)
I have tried to put 'European' firmware as Chinese one is 'google-less' and has only Samsung Chinese IME. (I am living in the UK)
My current baseband version is I9500ZCUCMF3 and handset is not accepting any other (getting 'soft brick' via ODIN), so I am able to go back only to I9500ZCUCMF3.
My Kernel version is: 3.4.5-868190 [email protected] #1, Mon Jul 1 20:14:37 KST 2013
Has anyone have experience with changing that firmware?
Thank you for your support.
Flash it 5 file in Odin.

Flash a recovery via ODIN, CWM or TWRP. Then you could flash non-stock ROM. Leave the baseband alone....

I have tried to flash 3.CODE_I9500ZSUBMF6_927537_REV00_user_low_ship.tar .md5 and failed & soft brick.
Fortunately I am able to go back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5.
I am just wondering what can happened if I fail to flash it with all 5 above files. Can I come back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5 ? Or I would need to flash 5 original files (which I don't have..)

It is the MODEM file. As I said, leave the baseband alone... Those files you downloaded are for i9500 HK version, but you are holding China Mainland version. They might have minor difference.
Download latest twrp.tar file and flash using Odin in the PDA tab.
Press Volume UP + Home immediately after reboot, you should see TWRP UI if succeed.

Hi Cellegg,

Following that instruction would work. Yes, you need flash SuperSU to root your phone.
But if you want to flash other non-stock rom, just ignore that step, most of non-stock rom already includes SuperSU.
I haven't heard of any China Mainland version cellphone encountered SetUID restriction issue.

Custom Rom would be better.

Dear Cellegg,
I have tried to flash OMEGA as advised, but unsuccesful. I have read on the OMEGA thread, that:
Wipe cache partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe Dalvik Cache automatic during installation
Wipe preload partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe System automatic before roms installation
is included, so I didn't proceed with wipe (I have seen it being wiped while flashing)
I have also flashed XXUBMG9 at the beginning as advised on OMEGA thread.
After reboot, I have got standard white 'Samsung logo GT-i9500' and after that nothing happened --> black screen...
I was able to restore via TWRP to start point.
Any ideas?
thank you

Wipe procedure during OMEGA installation somehow would not fully remove stock files...you have to use TWRP's wipe to do that.
1) Advanced Wipe in TWRP (data, system, cache, delivk cache.)
2) flash OMEGA rom
One more thing, if you encounter WIFI or Bluetooth issue, try to flash different kernel, Adam kernel.

Hi Cellegg,
Thank you for hints.
I have followed OMEGA's instruction about modem:
'Flash the new modem XXUBMG9 before flashing Omega v12, get it from here or from Omega Files free and Pro. If you did not flash the new modem first then you may loose your modem. If this happens flash XXUBMG9 modem to restore it'
What do you think about it?
I will try with Advance WIpe in TWRP as next.
[edit] Unfortunately same result after flashing modem XXUBMG9 and Omega v12 rom - black screen... no idea why?!
Any ideas?
[edit2] I have checked information about baseband/modem in 'About device' and it is showing: I9500XXUBMG9
Thanks

It seems you had successfully flashed the MODEM/baseband, if I9500XXUBMG9 showed in 'About Device'
I would say try again...or try other Recovery and Roms...
Anyway, if all above failed..here it is the Google apps package: http://www.vdisk.cn/down/index/13790672 (hit "智能线路下载" to download)
You must root your phone before flashing it.

Rom update without data wipe?

hi
i`m on a G935FXXU1APAW rom with cf-autoroot and i want to update to the new G935FXXU1APC8. (both new and old are DBT)
Is there a way to not wipe the data of my phone?

Do you mean that my single-file wiped your data?
I think, that's because you flashed the 1st time with HOME_CSC, and then the freeze of Odin -> THAT wiped your data!
If you flash again now, with my single file, I'm sure it WON'T WIPE your data!

Hi Hektor,
No, the freeze regarding home_csc was solved. I recovered my data from TWRP backup.
Today I flashed your single file with ODIN and it removed my files. I had to run through setup again, so I again recovered through TWRP backup.
Dont really know what is wrong.
Here is my original setup:
Odin: Installed firmware SM-G935F DBT G935FXXU1APAW
Odin: Installed TWRP 3.0.0.0
TWRP: Installed 3.0.0.1
TWRP: Installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
And as I mentioned, today I tried to upgrade with your file (G935FXXU1APC8 DBT) through ODIN which caused a wipe

I thought you can keep your data somehow. Before I bought the Galaxy S7 Edge I used a S5 with Omega Rom.
Any Omega Rom update kept my data, so I thought this can be done with the original firmware for S7 as well as long I root the phone.
Here is a way that works. Did that yesterday and no issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/install-ota-rooted-s7-flashfire-t3357065

CSC-HOME and CSC simple????

Hi Guys
i have a question i want to flash my galaxy s7 edge with Odin i want to ask that there is some confusion between HOME-CSC and CSC simple
1-Can you please guide me which one i need to select to flash my phone?
2-What is Difference between the HOME-CSC and CSC?
3-What happened with both of them if i will flash with one of them ?
Guys ill wait for your reply ......hope so you will guide me in this matter
let's say you wanna update your phone without wiping the data u have on it. you use the home csc. If u have custom recovery and custom rom and you wanna go back to stock firmware you flash the csc file.

But what's the difference between CSC and HOME_CSC?
treysis said:

Click to expand...

Didn't he already answer that question?
Home_CSC: Flash the firmware without wiping the data (if you just want to update the ROM)
CSC: Flash the firmware along with a complete wipe including data (mostly used in cases like bricked phones or Go-Back-To-Stock situations)
I always backup data and do a clean install with CSC ! Its recommended.
When I wanted to swap the firmware from (V) Verizon to (U) Unlocked, I had to use CSC simple, the Home_CSC gave an error. So I assumed the existing data cannot be "saved" when firmware are of different types.
I have asked about this and I wasn't that lucky to get an answer, so I just tried it (trial and error).
However, I think the data wipe is just a side-effect, not the purpose of CSC. Changing the CSC will always wipe data, including any custom software from the previous carrier:
https://productioncommunity.publicm...ung-Phone-Info/m-p/53208/highlight/true#M6228
In my case the original Home_CSC, had only VZW (Verizon) code available. The new unlocked firmware brought in 15 different CSC codes that can be applied when a SIM from one of those providers is introduced in the phone. Phone INFO shows those codes.
@NaJeEb303 He did answer, but he didn't make it clear. Only after knowing the answer I can understand what he meant. So thanks to you for clarifying.

Brother when you are flashing firmware with same csc as your previous firmware then you can use Home_csc and if you are flashing different csc firmware then you have to use file which starts with csc. You will lose data when not using home_csc because it contains different partition information and flashing this will delete you previous partition resulting loss of data but a successful flashing if you are stuck with home_csc. Hope you got your answer.
where do i find the HOME_CSC file?
Hey all,
i just used Odin3-v3.13.1 to upgrade from:
G935FXXU2EREM - GALAXY S7 EDGE SM-G935F DBT GERMANY
to:
G935FXXU2ERG2 - GALAXY S7 EDGE SM-G935F DBT GERMANY
First i selected all AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC and started flasching. At the very last step (think it was the csc part) it failed.
The Phone said i thould have to use SmartSwitch to get Recovery. So i just opened odin again and just selected AP, BL and CP no csc this time.
That worked. Phone booted, did a bit upgrading and optimizing and now iam on 01.July upgraded. All fine!
But now iam really confused about csc in general.. what is it doing? And is it safe to just leave any csc file empty in odin when doing an upgrade?
No idea? Maybe i should better start a new fred for that
how can i get home_csc for samsung note 3 n900? thanks

How to wipe android OS, but keep my files, like documents, pictures, audio and video in SAMSUNG SM-N9005 memory? 'Android system' package was disabled in 'packagedisabler pro', and now SM-N9005 sticks during booting with animated SAMSUNG logo. Flashing with HOME firmware does not recover because it does not enable 'Android system' package.

How to modify HOME_CSC to wipe android OS but keep my files?
Thanks!
I was answered this on Reddit
I started a thread on Reddit about how to get OTA after stock ROM flash, and the guy said that if I used the CSC file in the CSC field in Odin, I should still get OTA, so I guess it just means you would get OTAs on it. I think it depends on other factors such as build number and others too though, so I would research first.

Thanks for reply.
At this moment I have no backup from my data, do I have any option (in my situation) to backup my data before Nand erase all??
And also, did I also need a PIT file to add to odin when flashing as SpamMachine discribed in 2nd post?? (I read somewhere that it is important to add a pit file...)
Thanks in advance

I think you have no chance to backup data. but if you have previously synchronized it may be possible to recover but maybe some data can not be recovered. flashing device with or without PIT file can be, but have you ever tried to flashing by using 4 types of firmware (full firmware) ? not a single one.
it's for the PIT file if you do not already have it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66358795&postcount=10

Please help!!

Hi
Thanks for trying to help me
But unfortunately I tried to flash as described in 2nd post, and also added pit file (from the post you shared me), but problem persist, I can't flash nothing, phone keeps saying MDM MODE CAN'T DOWNLOAD
Do you have any suggestion how to get out that???
Thank you

S8 Showing 16gb capacity only after flashing stock rom

Hi
i recently started tweaking my phone by installing note 8 ported apps which messed up touchwiz home. so i had to re install stock rom by ODIN.
after flashing the device internal memory shows as 16 gb only.
