Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to flash stock firmware for the s6 tab lite without a computer? I don't have access to mine at the moment, and my tablet currently has lineageOS with root and twrp on it. The firmware that I downloaded seems to only be compatible with Odin, any insight would be greatly appreciated!
With TWRP you can only flash a Customrom.
Have you create a Backup oft the Stockrom before you flashed the Customrom ?
If yes , so you can restore this.

According to Magendaz, one can flash kernel, firmware, and custom ROM with TWRP.
I realize I didn't read the thread correctly, I apologize. My post is for using odin
-------
I wanted to root the device, but changed my mind after learning you can't be in stock firmware and have twrp/root at the same time (please correct me on this since I was having trouble trying to root my device via TWRP since I was stuck on recovery when trying to boot into system with bootloader and OEM Unlocking enabled; I assume I bricked the tablet somehow).
If you haven't created a backup like I did, you have to use ODIN to flash to the stock firmware. Here's how I got it done:
Download the firmware via: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-P610/XAR/P610XXU2BTK2 or whichever website has the stock firmware
Look into the region code (CSC) your device has. XAR is the firmware region for the United States. I wasn't able to tell which region code I had since I correctly guessed
Insert the first 3 files to ODIN (AP, BL, CSC) and Start

I was a bit worried that there is no CL file at first but I assume that's only for LTE (

I am unable to connect the device to odin, and ideas of what I could be missing?
EDIT: I wasn't in the correct mode.

Do i still insert the CP file even if i have it?

I actually wanted to flash the leaked Lollipop for my new Note 3 but from what I can read it's not safe just yet... i'm not rooted and can't backup my PIT. Also I read a whole lot about wifi-bugs and so on.
But coming from S5 I really want a fresh look on my Note 3 so I thought I'd flash a custom ROM.
If I understand everything correct I have to do the following:
1: Flash custom recovery with ODIN
2: Flash custom ROM from recovery
I don't need to be rooted before I flash a custom recovery with ODIN, right?
I don't care about triggering Knox. I'll just flash the Stock Lollipop when it's available.
Have I got the procedure right?

Yes you are right.
Regarding to backing up the PIT file, it is not necessary to backup the PIT file from your device. You can get a PIT file from the similar device, i.e the device with the same model name and same CSC. You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get your Model Name and CSC.

First obtain your Model Name and CSC as I have said. Then search on Google, e.g. PIT file N9005 XME, where N9005 is Model Name, XME is CSC.
Ok! I think I´ll stick with 4.4.2 until the official Lollipop comes. Even if I succeed flashing Lollipop I don´t want to risk WiFi-problems and other bugs since I´m not rooted
May I ask where I can find Custom Recovery for Note 3 SM-N9005 32gb 4.4.2 XXUGNI4?
Best regards!

You can search for CWM or TWRP recovery...
To download correct recovery for your device, you will need Device Type and Product Name (e.g. hlte/hltexx or something like that). You can find it using the above mentioned Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

I must have done something wrong... Or am I missing something?
I used Odin 3.09 and started it as administrator. Everything connected fine and I selected the .tar-file (the correct one) and the procedure went ok, green across the board! The phone rebooted and still all OK. Shut of the phone and after 30 sec I booted to recovery but the stock one was still there...
Any ideas?
Edit: I found this... Do I dare to use it?

Sorry I have no idea as I'm currently on the stock recovery after upgrading to 4.4.2.
Try to google search for the solution...
I made it work. I flashed TWRP with ODIN again but I unticked AutoReboot. When the flash was done I pulled the battery and rebooted straight to recovery. Since I had the new ROM on my SD-card I could flash it straight away.
Problem solved!
Hi everyone. I am having battery drain issues after i installed the September security update. I want to reinstall the firmware on smart switch by connecting to PC.
The last time i tried it through emergency software recovery in fownload mode, I almost bricked my phone. Can i reinstall using device initialization option? Which one would be better?
Thanks in advance.

When you brick your device it has nothing to do with Odin (use the latest version)
Make sure you install the right firmware for your device
Import the appropriate files to Odin exactly where they supposed to be
You'll have five files when unpacked downloaded package
Installing CSC will wipe your device, to avoid that you have to install HOME_CSC instead
You may also need to set a password for a secure startup as it may ask

Hey again, @Geoz
I have two questions:
1. I can't get FOTA on my S7E, I think because the CSC file. Can I really flash the "HOME" one and not wipe data?
2. If I want to flash another Stock ROM, I must set secure startup? And if I forget, there is any solution?

If you want to flash different stock firmware other than your region, flash the three (BL, AP, CP ) and use your original HOME_CSC (you are aware that you have to start all over), installing your region stock firmware with HOME_CSC will not wipe your device.
If you forget password use (default_password) without the brackets but it's important to set it before and use it only if you forget

But if I will flash other region FW and my own country CSC, I won't be able to get FOTA. As far as I know, The FW and the CSC has to match to get updates.
About password for secure startup, I mean, is it really necessary to set it before flashing new ROM? I must set it up?

S7 edge stuck on blue screen and download mode
It allows me to start a download In odin but fails everytime. Can I send my phone somewhere to have firmware reinstalled? I tried to get passed FRP lock cause I got ripped off and my computer died during a power outage so now the phone won't boot firmware or let me intall. I've tried 5 different ones. HELP:crying:
Hi guys, to my understanding BL/CP are available in tar or zip formats and may be updated via Odin or Twrp respectively. Appreciate any advice as to differences (if any) between the two methods. TIA
The only difference is that one (.zip) can be flashed via TWRP (this would mean you have a custom rom and a tripped Knox counter). The other (.tar) is signed by Samsung and can be flashed via Odin without tripping Knox.

I reckon this probably means it doesn't matter to flash with twrp or odin if knox is already 0x1.

Correct. I find it easier to flash in TWRP because it's simpler to stay where I am and download the file, reboot to recovery and flash. Rather than going upstairs to my computer, downloading the file, putting phone in Download mode, opening Odin and loading the files, then connecting the phone to the computer then flashing the files.

True that. I only ever return to Odin to flash official firmware in the event of soft bricks with denied access to Twrp, however, was getting confused partly due to written instructions for roms requiring BL/CP to be flashed in download mode. Thanks for clearing this up. Cheers.
my current booloader is version 1...can anybody tell me how can update it to version 4? i am using s7 edge SC02H(snapdragon) japan.

Looking for the right modem and bootloader files
Hello,
I'm running Nougat on my s7 g930f it's using the tgp rom. In preparation for an oreo upgrade I atempted to flash an odin-zip file I found on LightRom's page, thinking it would give me a modem update. This was an extremely bad idea. Now my system does still boot, but I have no signal at all, my phone number, base band, IMEI, mobile network, etc all show as unknown under settings, about phone and the various status checks. Now when I atempt to go in to odin again to flash another modem update now I'm told that the atempt has failed. I'd appreciate some help. What file do I need to get the bl and the cp file? I'm running twrp 3.2.3, and i'd like my signal back.
Thanks.
Dave.
Hi Folks
I am currently using the G935U phone in India. I need to enable VOLTE for JIO (telecom carrier in India) which is currently not support by the Snapdragon version. However there are ways to achieve this . One such way is to write using flashfire and customized CSC File. But this requires the phone to be rooted. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72532123&postcount=18)
Now my question is as follows:
Lets say i root the phone and follow the steps mentioned in the thread and flashfire the CSC file as required. Now if i unroot the phone by flashing the stock AP file back using ODIN, then technically i have unrooted the phone and since i did not flash the CSC file, the changes made should continue to be there.
Would the changes and files written to the system/csc areas continue to be there after i flash it with the stock AP file ?

I've unrooted via the bat file located in the root zip itself. Flashed back from eng boot to normal boot file. but i still feel the lag. May be it's a good idea to flash AP too but i have to setup my apps etc (technically, flashing AP should not wipe my phone but can't take chances) How did your flashnig go? CSC preserved?
So I have a used S8 G950U ver that I got from a friend of mine, it is unlocked and as far as I know its not locked to any carrier because I am using it in Pakistan.
I will attach the about phone screen in the attachments as well, you can see the version.
I went into Download Mode and the carrier there says TMB but if I search the baseband version (G950USQS5CRF5) on the google, it says its Verizon, so I am confused that which carrier version is my phone exactly. Some sites say that its an unlocked Hong Kong version
I downloaded the T Mobile One UI update from SamMobile, its a zip file.
Can I flash that zip file from recovery through SD card and will it brick or not?
Or should I flash it through ODIN.
Either way, does the carrier matters when updating or not, or does the model have to be the same?
Sorry if its a weird question, I have been kind of indecisive about it for couple of weeks thinking I take the shot and see if it works but decided to ask here beforehand.
First off Odin only flashes tar files and you can't flash zips in recovery only in custom recoveries such as twrp can zips be flashed
