Over the last few months & being on my 4th Samsung phone, I've seen many releases of odin. Can someone who has the time & knowledge please explain to me how do you go about picking a certain odin build, and what are the differences between...
1. Samsungs Odin v3.13.1
2. ‎PrinceComsyModifiedODIN
3. Odin v3.13.1 3B PatcheD
4. ‎Modded Odin v3.13.1 Raymond
Also if stock odin is my best choice in a given situation would it be best to assume that the latest/newest stock Samsung odin would be what I would want or are there particular odin versions depending on the phone & the firmware your flashing, assuming you are not rooted or trying to root your device. ie flashing stock firmware.
Any info you can fill me in on would be great. I've rooted before and know how to use Odin but things like modded odin Raymond, and PrinceComsyModifiedOdin are versions I know nothing about. I've only used Stock Samsung odin, & v3.13.1 3B PatcheD on my note 9 snapdragon. I am curious to learn, and the options inside odin itself are things I'd like to know about also, as when rooting the instructions usually say don't touch or to leave alone. They must serve a purpose, what that is I'm curious to know also?

Running a Dev edition Verizon GS5.... Trying to flash a modem in ODIN, but for some reason it's not taking (my baseband version never changes, even though ODIN reports a successful flash.) Placing in my PDA slot in ODIN 3.07. Never really had this problem before, and I've been able to successfully flash other things (NOT firmware or full ROM tars... haven't locked my bootloader.) F. Reset Time and Auto reboot are checked in ODIN, and nothing else. Any input would be appreciated, thanks! Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
try odin 3.09+ as suggested in odin threads on here and report back lol

Here's a direct DL for ODIN 3.09:
Odin309.zip
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.
I am trying to unroot my phone. I have a US version of G930A. Sammobile has every county except the USA. I found G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary.zip which has AP_G930AUCU1APB5_CL7193387_QB8719495_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, the BL, CP and CSC file in it. I try to flash it using Odin3, and I get an "odin protocol version error." I take it because the image is a lower version that's what's on there. I would like to download the latest stock image but sammobile doesn't offer images for the US? Or is there a better way?
Wrong forum. This here is for SM-G930F Development, not Q&A. You'll get the answers you're seeking and more, at the S7 AT&T Q&A and Dev forums. Mod, please move - thanks.
Wrong forum. But try using Kies in Download mode
That is what i do when ever i restore my phone.
No Kies good lord. This isn't a Note 2.
You're getting that error because you're on newer firmware than you're trying to flash so it's erroring out.
Follow the Return to stock procedure in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
Flash all 4 files, then you'll be on PF2 and able to get the OTA Update to PG1 with wifi calling, etc.
I tried using kies. It asks me for my model. I put in SM-G930A. The serial I put in all caps and it tells me my model number I entered is wrong.

Which Odin are you using?
You're flashing the PF2?
I've tried many versions of Odin v1 (not the 3). I'm not sure what the PF2 is.
To get it to work, I just defaulted the phone and rerooted it. It's the only way I can get it to work. It's working perfect right now. Only question is how long,

for g930a (galaxy s7 at&t NOT EDGE)
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA MAKE A BACKUP
download these files:
Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2t...din_3.12.3.rar
Flashing Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17...w?usp=drivesdk
After downloading extract the .rar extract it then extract each, BL, AP, ect... files. Use the odin included in the download to flash and you will be returned to stock. If the odin included still gives you the error you can get the princecomsey version and see if that works from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/ODIN/ODIN-modified.zip
If odin freezes or crashes just restart it and try again, it might take a while foor the AP file to load into odin so just be patient and if it looks like it is about to crash wait about 2-3 minutes then force close it and try again.
Now you are returned to stock an all set !!
(p.s) - PF2 is the latest firmware as of now for the g930a, meaning when you flash this you will be all set. You may have tried to flash the original PF which is now outdated cause AT&T updated it, I did this and it worked but i could not update my phone so I flashed this one and it works perfectly and Samsung pay is up and running.
I recently picked up 2 edges a Verizon and ATT variant, I flashed the Verizon phone succesfully to G935U with this firmware http://i.imgur.com/JuIeA6g.jpg
(The 4-file link in Step 2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145 )
Since that went smoothly I decided to run Odin and flash that firmware onto the ATT Edge, ( original FW is g935aucs4apk1 )
It didn't work, I recall that it got stuck at Setup Connection. So I rebooted the phone and it took me into Recovery mode, where all the CHECKS failed. So the ROM has effectively been wiped; leaving me with just the Recovery menu and DOWNLOAD screens.
Is there any way of getting my self out of this?
Fixed it. Ended up clicking Re-partition and Flash Bootloader in Odin then flashing 4-files from the T-Mobile Nougat firmware using the PrinceComsy 3.12 Odin
Not my ideal way to do this, i'm sure I've lost root potential, but I have a working phone! (w/ No xposed )

As long as you are still on bootloader 4 (and you are, since to my knowledge there isn't a higher version) you can still root your device and return it to MM if necessary. It may take some effort, but it's doable.
I am having a heck of a time installing the stock firmware on this device. It came to me softbricked and I have used almost every firmware available from the XDA official Galaxy Tab 4 forum, Sammobile and even the SAMFIRM tool. I do not know if this is a PDA issue or what, But I have been able to flash the bootloader with TWRP and install some custom roms which makes me think I am using the wrong firmware but I am lost as of right now.
FIRMWARES I HAVE TRIED:
T530NUUEU1BQC1_T530NUXAR1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AOA2_T530NUXAR1AOA2_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1ANK1_T530NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AND4_T530NUXAR1AND4_HOME.tar
T530XXU1AOA1_DBT1AOA1_v4.4.2_Repair_Firmware ( 4 file repair) Only one I can find
Other Regions XAC and BNN Firmwares
_T530NUXAC1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUOVS1BPL1_T530NUBNN1BPL1_HOME.tar
I have tried multiple cables and odin3 versions
Odin3 v 3.04
Odin3 v3.07
Odin3 v3.12.3 & v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.13.3
Odin always fails on aboot.mbn not matter what...sometimes I can get it to say re-partition failed or secure boot fail PIT or secure boot fail aboot
When I flash the stock bootloader I can see at the top of the screen T530NUUEU1BQC1 and at the bottom Multi CSV, XAR selected.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Anyone have any suggestions at all?
If someone could please let me know what I am doing wrong or any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Something I forgot to mention is whenever I try to flash the stock firmware it always fails on aboot.mbn. I really hope someone can give me some insight on this.
I can't answer your questions, but: Does it have to be the original Stock Rom? Why don't you stay with a custom rom? Dirty Unicorns MM may be old but it's very stable since years on my device.
I mean I don't " have" too install the stock rom but I would like to know what my problem is it would greatly help me in the future on other devices.
I will give dirty unicorn a go.
