[Q] Flashing Kit Kat 4.4.2 Question

Hello,
I'm on the new side with flashing in such and need to know what file is run in Odin on the PDA line? The videos always show a MD5 file but I don't see one in the zip file I downloaded. How would I go about creating this file type? The remaining steps of the process seen easy.
Thanks, in advance

I'm somewhat confused here. Are you saying that I must install some program in order to make a MD5 file. Maybe it would be easier if I just knew what file to run on the PDA line. Is it the BOOT.IMG file? I would like to run this new KK software.
Thank you!

Okay in this screen shot there's the Odex rom and then the deodexed rom. Last is the firmware.
After you have flashed either one of the Odex or Deodexed roms in Safestrap 3.65 stock slot and remember to wipe the stock slot first.
So after the rom is flashed the don't reboot system but reboot to download mode and open up odin.
Prior to doing all this download the firmware to your computer. Once downloaded extract the the file that shows the as tar. After having odin open click on the PA and put that file in there and let it run its course checking the file. Then when it's done hit start.

Here's a pic off my pc of the file that goes in AP slot for Odin.
Odin will run MD5 check on it automatically and say it's valid. Then from there just have you phone in download mode and hooked up to pc and hit start.

not sure if you have seen this tutorial or not.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
After installation is complete click mobile odin application icon in app drawer as shown below

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

After that as i have shown in screenshot with different coloured arrows select ur prefrences. Red ones are for rooting the firmware after flashing it, blue arrow is for mobile odin to be injected in the new frmware, green ones are for wiping options u must select both of these, at the end click yellow one to start the flash operation
View attachment 2815255
Final screenshot show after flash options whther u want to boot normally or to recovery
View attachment 2815256
Flashin will take some time after flashin is complete open up recovery while using power+up button during boot up and wipe everything and then after booting up your new rom is flashed voilaaaa.......

Thank you for this, but just in case one of you have flashed the n8000 bootloader on your n8010, and Mobile Odin sees your device as an n8000, you might need to manually download the latest version for the n8010, found in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

[Tutorial] Downloading Firmware and convert them into .FTF files

Download and make your own Firmware​
Don't misread the title. This tutorial will help you download the needed FILE_xxxxxxxx so that FlashTool can decrypt them and create a bundle to flash.​
Requirements:
Download the XperiaFirmware Downloader tool thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Flashtool (use search for this, there are a lot of threads for it)
Patience
A brain
Steps:
First Download the needed programs and install Flashtool and its drivers. For extra explanation you can check my how to use flashtool tutorial. Download the XperiaFirmware Download tool (see link above) and unzip it.
Open it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Select your deviceand the wanted customatisation number or operator and select the wanted firmware version:
A new window will pop up and select download and choose an location:
Let it download:
Close the window and the program...
Open flashtool and select Tools > Bundle > FILESET Decrypt:
Select the folder with the FILE's and add them to the list on the right:
Flashtool will decrypt it:
A new window pops up and you can create your bundle; select your device, enter the branding and the firmware version and select create:
Let flashtool do it's job and after a while it is done:
The .ftf file is in the same place as the FILE files.. So look up there and share the .ftf in the correct forum!
Good Luck!

Good guide..just a correction
When you create your bundler you only have to mark the .sin files, not the .ta(or something like that)

I always select everything... Works without issues

Thanks it worked.. But I would like to know why remove .ta ??
another person commented that he is not having any issue even after including those files.. Now that's bit confusing..

I read it somewhere that including ta would cause bootloop in some
devices

I've always included the. Ta parts when flashing ftf's myself never has a problem(yet). I thought it was just Ta files of a different device that bricked your phone

When flashing my smartphone I get an error (S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND)

Can I copy the scatter.txt from RC5 to whichever ROM i want as long as it is for the same phone? Basically I have the RC5 but I experienced that the battery is horrible so I wanted to try a different newer OS. Somehow there is an error installing via TWRP the other roms I have in zip but flashtool works fine. These files do not have a scatter-file though.

Thank`s for the instructions
I will thank for the instruction, because I breaked my phone while trying to flash madOS 8.1.0 (update from april). Before my Jiayu S3 basic (16 GB, 2 GB) worked fine with madOS 8.1 from 2017-12-30. I surely made a big mistake, therefore the phone was dead - no reaction any more.
I found this solution to flash back the stock rom 5.1.1 with twrp. Phone is alive and works.
I think, I have done a big mistake, because all trials to flash madOS 8.1 from april ended with boot into TWRP. I tried flashing to madOS for a long time, isn`t possible any more. Maybe also my old phone has a failure.
Therefore I have to thank for Your excellent work. Thanks.

Hi!
I'm trying to flash my S3Adv. (3GB RAM, Kitkat, TWRP 2.8.4.0) with madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip, but, the "Zip signature verification failed". Before, the MD5 sum is checked and matches. I also checked the file with "zip -T" on my Linux machine and it reports "OK". When the "Zip file signature verification" is turned off, TWRP reports "error executing updater binary in zip ..." What's going wrong? Anybody here who can help?
Thanks in advance
Frank
Nearby: I wiped system, dalvik, cache and data.
Solution:
- Install Flash Tool
- Flash Android 5.1.1 (RC5_S3_16GB.zip)
- Start 5.1.1 to do a basic configuration
- Boot into TWRP recovery which was included in RC5
- Install twrp_20180417.img
- Boot into TWRP recovery
- Install madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip
(a full wipe is, may be, necessary, but, I don't know, when the full wipe should be done within my procedure - I did it earlier)

How can I do this
link plzz

My English is bad, so I use a translator.
If you have a Desire 820n (one sim) doing so:
1. In TWRP doing a copy and then crashes files from the backup, but leave folders.
2. Downloaded from my links are uploading files to the card to the folder where you had your copy (only files)
3. Restores the TWRP system with backup (reflash you clean OS 4.4.4, data, and settings can not lose).
4. downloads from the store Flashify program and upload the original recovery from my link
5. You download the updates via OTA and have a lollipop
Once again files:

You'll notice this inscription for custom recovery/boot image. Just flash them stock and system flash is not required.
