Hello every one let me just thank all of you in advance. I just picked up a unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 3 it was a tmobile phone.
My plan is to root the phone so that i can then down load the DarkLord ROM making my Note 3 into a Note 5.
have downloaded all the appropriate file to do this but the issue i am having is Odin will not recognize or find any of my downloaded files when I choose PDA on Odin I have tried re downloading creating folders and even using a different laptop..... I have all the right Samsung drivers and phone is detected I just can find the file.
I lap top is a Dell running Windows 7
Thank you!
As long as the rec9very has .tar on it, should be readable by odin

Is the file located on your computer? The file cannot be located on the phone's internal memory or an SD card inserted in the phone.

the file is saved on my computer, like I said I even downloaded on a different computer...no luck
try a different version of odin and place your file on desktop. After that if you still cant find the file, you should try another one or flash a custom recovery straight on it

Russian firmware?
Thanks, even though I have quite a number of firmwares already, it looks like the kernel from this firmware is the piece of the puzzle I was missing to make a proper kernel hack (like CF-Root). Let's hope I'm right!
Cheers!

Looks like it, and here's an interesting note from the changelog for the system/PDA image:
" Release for CIS. ( Base : XWKDD, same CL),
different : Remove Readers Hub, Music Hub, Social Hub (premium -> Basic)"
Coming from HTC phones, I don't understand why ODIN or KIES are still used. It really looks like something from the past... Can't we just flash update.zip files through recovery like normal android phones or in the worst case, flash .zip files through hboot?
I really hope that Paul or someone else will port CWR to this phone. *fingers crossed*
I personally really like Odin
Much prefer it to copying the zip file onto the phone, and then booting into recovery

The Galaxy series can also flash update.zip like any other Android device, but the zips require signing by Samsung to be flashable by default. So recovery has to modded first, and to do that you need to flash a custom kernel, and to do that, you need ODIN.
Besides, though I like update.zips for small patches, why people prefer them for full firmwares is still beyond me. ODIN is much faster method for flashing than first having to copy to SD card, then flash.
As for KIES, KIES automatically downloads and flashes the latest official firmware for you (using the same protocol that ODIN uses). I don't like KIES at all, but for the "normal" non-XDA-type-person-user it's great.
Also keep in mind that ODIN is an engineering tool... it was never meant to end up in consumer hands.

Probably *hubs are not completely release_soft that them to establish in all firmwares
so does this mean Russia is not getting Samsung Hubs?? Then how come Eldar's phone had them? just because it was a review phone?
Edit: I think i just answered my question!

On my Desire it's faster for me because I download ROMs direct to the SD card in my phone over WiFi. No copying, no PC, no messing about required. I just tell ROM Manager where the ROM is and job done.
sorry, deleted

Its really easy to put together CWM zip files when developing a ROM. You're most likely in adb pushing and pulling files anyway.. another zip (when developing) is nothing.
CWM also allows you the flexibility to flash without wiping specific partitions.
As stated earlier, you also need a PC to use Odin. A PC running Windows. Some people have Macs, and it is definitely useful when you don't have a PC in front of you, but you can still download a ROM, back up your current data, wipe your phone and flash a completely different ROM - and back - all without a PC, USB cable, Windows, drivers, and the phone button in Odin.

There is a 'Port' of Odin to OS X - called as - "Heimdall". Probably it will get updated to support SGS2.

Correction. The tar.md5 file is an ODIN tar file, but with built-in MD5 checksum to verify it before flashing.
Thanks Puler_g2.. for hint, got I9100XEKE1 installed and rooted
pulser_g2 said:
The .md5 file isn't to be put in ODIN, but the file should be used by ODIN silently to verify that the file "KERNEL_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" isn't corrupted.

Is there any way to explore the ROM? I tried winrar, but then I got stuck on the .img files because they wouldn't open with either undisker/magic iso or daemon tools...
I need to find 2 .odex files to copy to my system/app folder on my SGS2 because I screwed it up using Titanium Backup and uninstalled a system app...
anyway, how to make this from a rom into a system dump?

So again, how do I get the .apk/.odex I need from a ROM?
Hi, I know that to take off the custom roms, you need to flash the stock rom but how do you remove android, clockwork mod, and magldr off the phone? my phone has been acting up and i need to send it back through the hd2 insurance but i need to reset everything first. Thank you!
i need help how i can restore all settings plz help me
Download the spesific rom for your device from the HTC website. Eg if you are on the HD2 o2, you would download that rom. It comes as an .exe file.
Right click on the file and extract the contents to someware on your desktop, look for the .nbh file. Cant quite remember the name but it will be the biggest file. Rename it to leoimg.nbh and copy it on to your SD card.
Make sure it is the correct rom for your phone or it wont work.
Once you have done this reboot the phone and hold the volume down button at the same time to get into the boot loader. It will then prompt you to install the rom. This will remove everything and restore back to factory default for you and reinstate your warrenty!
Next time you shoud use the search button. If you had did this you had found this thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066852&highlight=restore+factory
Good luck!

sorry, i tried using the search button but it kept coming across as "search capacity overloaded" or something like that. Next time i'll be more patient.
sorry for double post but i tried renaming the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and when i go into the bootloader, nothing prompts up asking me to install the new rom. Help please?
okay, i went into the bootloader, put in the usb, and tried to press the .exe file but it won't let me press next.. someone PLEASE help

In order to continue proper drivers must be installed. Check if when connecting usb there is on screen "USB". However if you install the exe file your SPL will not be restored to original.
If you want to return it to factory you need to do it via SD card. Or by exe but you then have to install SPL manually.
Try again, rename the largest nbh file to leoimg.nbh put it to sdcard root and reboot to bootloader.
Bootloader is the one with 4 different colors. To boot powerup phone and hold Volume Down key.

There is "USB" on the screen and I believe i have the proper divers installed.
I downloaded the 3.14 t-mobile official rom and renamed the largest file (.nbh) to leoimg.nbh (and i tried LEOIMG.nbh, if it makes a difference for the CAPS) but nothing appeared on the bootloader screen. I tried to install the rom by the .exe file because i would rather get the official rom on so i can remove hspl manually but the "Next" button is grayed out. It won't let me go onto the next step. :/
What size sd card did you use? It usually wont work on a card bigger than four gigabytes. Try it on a class two, four gigabyte or less micro sd card.

even if i don't modify the files, the "next" button is grayed out (can't move on to the next step). It doesn't really make sense and i'm kind of stuck now.
I'm not too sure how many people know this, but when Kies is downloading your new ROM, you can copy it and put it somewhere on your hard drive for use later on (if necessary).
On my computer (Windows XP) Kies puts the ROM in the temp folder, on my computer, here...
C:\Documents and Settings\Ian\Local Settings\Temp, where Ian is my name on my computer, you go to where all your files are located.
While downloading the new ROM it'sin a temp file called tmp1B2.tmp.
Once it's done, it puts the file in a folder called tmp1B2.tmp.zipfolder
Just copy the file from this folder and paste it anywhere you want.
The file will disappear after your phone is finished upgrading, so make sure you don't wait too long.
Ian
Thanks! Though I don't suppose there is a method of actually getting the firmware WITHOUT actually going through the process of upgrading?
You can also download the firmware straight from Samsung using check fus downloader without even having to run kies.

All of a sudden, I can't copy files to Nexus 7. Windows 7 64 says device has either stopped responding or is disconnected....which tells me nothing. I see others have posted this topic for this tablet but there are no replies. Tablet is rooted, running LiquidSmooth Beta 2 and seems fine. Same USB cable and I can see internal folder and files from Windows, but cannot perform normal file transfers. Where do I start looking for issue?

MTP or whatever its called sucks. But that usually either means that your device doesn't support that file format, the files are too big, or you actually disconnected your device. Try a different USB port, and give us a bit more info on what you are trying to copy.

Trying to copy a 7MB zip file. I looked at settings -- MTP is checked and there's 12.79GB available out of 13.24GB. Weirdly, I thought I'd try a file that was completely different, so I just copied a text file (2K) and it went fine. Now what's that about?
I usually use WinRAR to create zip files, but some on xda recommend 7-zip (changing file extension to zip) for stuff like boot animation files. Is that the problem??
I had the same thing happen... I tried an 11mb zip file, no luck. Text file or image worked fine... I'm guessing I'll just have to use something like AirDroid to transfer any file. This is disappointing that Google has done this. My older Android phones, I could copy any file I please.

Well, one thing I finally discovered is that zip renamed from 7z may be an issue...the system probably checks the file header (I assume) against extension to see if there's a match. Possibly to catch exe files with zip extensions that may be viruses.
solution
Just put the files you want to copy inside a folder, then copy the folder. works for me on Nexus 4

hey XDA,
I am not able to copy Flac audio files from my PC to the Internal Storage of my galaxy s4. When I paste the Flac files into the phone, it prompts for file format not supported, then I click 'No, just Copy' and for all files. But then it only copies the first file (If I selected multiple files) and then freezes. When I cancel the process, the first file is copied successfully.
How can i fix this?

sorry,nerver have this problem before..guess you need to wait for file to completely copy to your phone if it hang just wait until it complete
I have found out the solution today. I had the same problem on two phones, two systems, two laptops. People usually use same set of applications etc
I always used K-lite codecs to play videos on the PC. This causes the problem with copying the Flac files to the phone somehow. Uninstalling it makes it back ok.
