Hello!
I'm trying to install a rom which requires me to update/flash my Bootloader & Modem to the MM ones. Now I'm running into a problem where Odin will freeze at certain parts and after a while it fails writing the file .
I've tried odin v3.10 & v3.12, I've tried different USB- cables & ports and I've enabled USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in my developer options. Any other possible suggestions :fingers-crossed:?
Thanks in advance.
I managed a glimpse of the zip file you downloaded from the ROM thread.
1. BL_G935FXXU1BPJG.tar.md5
2. CP_G935FXXU1BPJG.tar.md5
You're using Odin3 v3.12, and it's clearly stated md5 format is an old model of updating home binary. New versions will only accept .tar files. This would explain the write errors you're getting.
Updating of bootloader and modem require .tar files to be flashed using the BL and CP slots respectively. I suspect you would only need to rename the files to .tar for them to work, but pls clarify with the ROM developer.

Hello, want to download this ROM, but I'm a bit confused because I always flash the new roms manually using a cwm recovery only. I'm not an expert in these tar md5 files.. Anyways im running a stock lollipop N9005XXUENC2 and my question is can I flash AryaMod using the cwm only and without downloading the 2 tar files the developer mentioned in the main thread? If not, can you tell me exactly what I should do using Odin? Thanks..
here you go!

the thing is,
1. Make all necessary backups, install ODIN and Samsung drivers in PC, also download the necessary files (BL, CP and ROM).
2. remove battery and insert after 10 secs.
3. Directly boot into Download Mode via key combo (after getting into Download Mode, Open ODIN and also connect phone to PC).
[download both files, select "BL tar file" in BL and "CP tar file" in CP in ODIN]
4. Flash the BL and CP from OP via ODIN (after selecting two files, click Start, it will automatically restart and it will show Success)
5. Now after the phone is ON (Success message), disconnect from PC and enter Recovery Mode and flash ROM.zip
6. Select your Options in Aroma and enjoy.
The Dev recommended to use TWRP and also I had TWRP from start. You can check in the ROM thread whether anyone is doing this via CWM.
Good luck.
I have a Galaxy S7 SM-G935FD International Edition which, thru a long sequence of missteps, I have gotten to the point where I can only get to the Samsung Logo Screen or the ODIN download mode (ie. no boot). I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC. But I am unable using any key sequence to get into any TWRP recovery mode - only the two modes above. I tried to convert the Superman rom on this forum to a tar also, but flashing stopped after Aroma at starting NAND write. In my many missteps, what I was trying to accomplish is to debloat and root the phone, at least to gain root access using Android adb. I was able to do this on my previous S6 Edge, but Samsung's vast security barriers have defeated me.
Steps to recover from this mess greatly appreciated ...... hopefully steps I can complete using ODIN ............ thx, Gus

Flash Stock Rom via ODIN.

I was unable to find a stock rom for the international. I found a zipped UK no carrier stock rom. Since ODIN doesn't flash zipped files, I unzipped and saved to a tar file using 7-Zip on Win10. Attempts to flash the tar file using ODIN crashed ODIN on the PC. I'm not sure what's wrong, as I used the same method to flash the zipped TWRP file, and finished with a "success"
I note that I have a message saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Somehow I think using ODIN to flash a stock rom is being blocked by some Samsung secutity feature I cannot identify and haven't overcome. Gus
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3335065 I don't know if you have experience with Odin process. Google it preferably look at YouTube video, if you feel shaky on Odin concepts.

1. "I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC." Reflash this FILE via ODIN coz you flashed wrong one and boot in it. Go to next step if doesn't work.
2. Flash Stock ROM via ODIN. SM-G935FD use the same firmwares that SM-G935F.
Careful with ODIN. Make sure you are running on the latest version, as I myself has problems using it for the Galaxy S7 Edge on an offer version

maybe my question will be weird lol...how can i sofbrick a s7 g930p to be exact and then i can just unbrick flashing the U firmware? thanks.
Hey,
I wanted to root my Galaxy S4 i9505 using CF-auto root. I cheked the version of my s4 i9505 which was i9505xxuhoj2, then go to https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ find my device model and exact same build (i9505xxuhoj2). I generated cf auto root file, boot phone in bootloader mode, unzip file and used odin (which was in that zip file too) to flash this generated file (using AP). Odin gives me FAIL and I cant boot my phone normally because of error during start (firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies).
So I flashed stock firmware (using Odin) with another build. This time i9505xxupqg1. Everything went well my S4 was running normally. So i decided repeated the procedure. Go to https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ and genereate cf auto file (this time for build i9505xxupqg1). I flashed the cf auto root file using odin and again it gives me FAIL.
Below screen of that FAIL:

Can anyone help me with this?
Why this is happening ?
Cheers
Flash back to stock, flash twrp, flash supersu from twrp.
Thanks for reply.
I did this earlier what you said and everything was OK.
I had TWRP and Root using SU.
The problem isnt rooting itself.
The point is i wanted to tested rooting with CF-AutoRoot method.
And I'm wondering what am I doing wrong.
I did everyting correctly (exact same device model and build version) and ODIN gives me FAIL like i said above.
If Odin is failing, try a different version of Odin, a different USB cable, and different USB port.
I got the same problem with a Sprint Note Edge that I tried to root the same way. I'm currently downloading the stock firmware from sammobile.com to flash a stock ROM.

Hello
You do not need to generate a CF-AutoRoute, just google and download the original CF-AutoRoute.zip which roots ALL versions of the device, the baseband does not matter.
Ensure debugging is enabled
Place device into recovery (download)
Add device to Odin
Unzip the file, add the .md5 file to Odin and flash, job done.
Hi guys, a few months ago I tried to install a custom rom (LightRom) and I was stupid enough to not backup my EFS folder. It stuffed up my Sim card so I tried using a tutorial which said to flash a file called fix.regalstreak. After flashing this my phone was hard Bricked and after flashing TWRP, my phones EFS was empty and no ADB command could fix it. I still am unable to boot into any ROM or stock - even though I can get into the custom Roms install page and my EFS folder is empty with no backup so how do I fix this?
Note:
When flashing stock firmware, if I try to use a pit file with combination of AP, BL, CP, CSC it fails, but if I flash AP, BL or CP it works so CSC has an Issue I think.
However, when I flash with no pit file my phone gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen.
Sorry for the long post
I had the same problem but I managed to solve it by downloading the file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/z0z69kilpala6tu/EFS-SM-G950F-31-08-2018_03-48-37.tar/file after opening in odin put the device in download mode, use odin 3.11.1 open the file in the AP tab then press start, after the procedure, install twrp and install a custom rom I recommend the hades rom 2.0, the stock rom doesn't work the only problem and the device has a null imei
Thank you so much I have been searching for answers everywhere and you have saved my phone

You have to Unlock OEM first
Hello,
im trying to flash an AP file, modified via magisk app, to my Galaxy S10+ (Exynos, SM-G975F/DS, FW: G975FXXSEFUL1) via ODIN. I´ve installed the magisk app on this clean Samsung device to modify the AP file.
The bootloader is unlocked. But when ODIN is flashing USERDATA, the Downloadmode says: "official signed binarys only" and stops the flashing. The phone can be restored by flashing the original fw.
I´ve also tried to copy the AP file from an to the phone via adb. Also I tried use another official Samsung firmware (Android 12, G975FXXUEGULB) with the same result.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
Mirko
