I am currently MJ7 root and I disabled the update notification because I didn't feel like updating to MJE at the time. I want to know first, can I just Odin up to MJE then kingo or I do need to Odin MJ7 stock then update via OTA then kingo. Also, will using Odin to switch to stock wipe my phone. I didn't feel like updating when MJE came out because its such a hassle to have to set up my phone again.
For updating to the current revision, either way is acceptable. And as far is odin wiping everything, I believe the answer is yes. I don't think I remember it not wiping everything.

Hi, you can use ODIN to flash the MJE then factory reset data in Recovery Mode and then Kingo...this is direct method...and preferred...
Follow this steps:
1.Download ODIN 3.09 and MJE Firmware Full Stock ROM 1.3 GB, Boot into Stock Recovery using Vol Up+Home+Power Button, Wipe Factory Reset/Data & Wipe Cache Partition, Reboot the device, as soon as screen goes black press Vol Down+Home Button to enter Download mode and connect the device to PC...then flash the MJE firmware...
2. After flashing boot again into Stock Recovery using Vol Up+Home+Power Button, Wipe Factory Reset/Data & Wipe Cache Partition
3. Use Kingo to root the device and make sure that Screen Display time is set to 10 Minutes..because u have to accept some confirmation while Kingo is rooting the device...
Of course if you flash a new firmware using ODIN then it will wipe the phone but not completely thats why it is mandatory to factory reset data after flashing firmware through ODIN...(but still it doesn't wipe the phone completely)
To completely Wipe the phone follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
Make sure you back up your important files before flashing any firmware...
Cheers!!!

I have a SM-G900F rooted with towelroot, SuperSU installed.
I tried flashing the latest firmware with Mobile Odin Pro to keep root and not to trip Knox. I put the .tar.md5 file to internal, open file, select that file, check ever-root, I performed the md5 check, flash. (I chose not to wipe anything)
It sayd "recovery booting", mobile Odin logo appeared and did some flashing and the second time it said recovery booting the phone got stuck.
The only option was download mode, flash the firmware with desktop Odin
Any ideas?

Wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing, if Odin gives you the option to do that.
just for my information:
so is it possible to flash using odin and preserve knox tripping plus the everRoot will work?? and i dont need to worry about the kernel being updated?

Mobile Odin gives me that option. On my first try I didn't do that. I'll try again tomorrow and I'll let you know. Thank's.
I just tried again with "wipe data cache" and "wipe Dalvik cache" checked but this time it didn't even want to enter the first recovery mode. I have no ideea what's going on.
Firmware should be on external card
I'm trying to flash bootloader & modem with mobile Odin... Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and why does it always delete all my data...

try booting your phone in stock recovery with pwr+up volume, then in recovery with the volume keys navigate to wipe data/factory reset and then wipe (or clear) cache, then reboot.

so i tried this it allowed me to get to the Samsung logo and this is where it has gotten
99% of the Odin problems are solved by using a different usb port and/or different usb cable.
Ps Did you use cf-auto root for rooting? That's the only rooting method that works. Because I never heared of cf auto-root causing those problems.

Well, you could try another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.
regards
* at last, maybe obvious, check that the firmware is appropiate for your phone e.g. if your firmware is i9505XXXXX and your phone is i9500 or any other it will never boot.

When you flashed the ROM, it overwrote SafeStrap.
Use Odin to flash the lollipop kernel you were using. Then go into the stock recovery (hold Home + Vol UP and Power) and clear the cache and reboot. If that doesn't work, go back into the stock recovery, clear cache and select factory reset, then reboot. That should allow MOAR to boot, then you can reinstall SafeStrap Lollipop.
If that fails, then you're going to have to start over.

Well, as long as that worked. Keep what I said in mind, because if you're flashing ROMs you're probably going to run into the same problem again at some point.
Hello
I have sgh i377 from at&t. I would like to change my custom rom from ManuProN5_N5_ASTRA_ROM_Reborn_FIXED to GE-XXUHOD7-53. I
I installed busybox, intall safestrap and nc1 flasher. I run nc1 flasher and reboot phone to safestrap. I wipe data, system, cache and Dalvicache.
Then I go to install and add firmware, module and kernel flash OC4 and GE-XXUHOD7-53.zip. Then i press install. While install modules i saw an error with perrmision.
I tried install again and the same situation. So i reboot the phone and i think it was a mistake, because my phone stack on logo "sasmung custom". I have access to recovery mode. I wondering make wipe data/factory reset but I don't know is t safe? On recovery mode it shows me LRX22C.I337UCUGOC4.
When plug phone to PC it doesn't detect phone. No sound, no device in explorer, but Odin3 v3.12 detect successfully. Do you thnink I can flash it by ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.rar ?
Is it any chance to bring it back to life? Please help and forgive my poor english.

You can flash the stock OC4 ODIN file if there is one. You might can flash NB1 in odin without bricking, but i am not sure. Or you can wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode and then flash the golden eye ROM .zip file from there right after. That should clear up the errors.
Tanks. Flashing by Odin with ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar solved the problem.
