[Guide] Using Mobile Odin

Hey everyone i tried to search but found no step by step guide to use mobile odin to flash firmwares on samsung devices. Here i will try to make each step as elaborate as possible so fasten your seat belts and here we go...!!!
I will be using my galxy note 10.1 for refrence
First of all download appropriate stock firmware file from
http://www.sammobile.com/
Copy it to your phone storage or external card i preferably use ecxternal card
then get your self mobile odin from following link from playstore
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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After opening it will ask for root permissions as shown
After Giving root permissions it can go in 2 directions it may ask u to download a file to be able to flash in recovery or it may proceed . If it is asking to install a file u will be presented with a download option for which wifi enabling is required as shown
And it will start downloading immediatley
Now after download is Complete u will be presented with main menu window it is scroll able and provide basic options as selecting individual modem, csc etc or selecting a file
View attachment 2815248
Scroll and find option "Open File" select this option and choose ur stock firmware file location and then select firmware file

View attachment 2815253
After selecting proper firmware file you will be presented with a summary of ehich partiions are selected for this flash Click ok
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_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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

[TOOL]Unlock Bootloader on Sony Xperia Z1 Compact without wipe

This guide/tool will let you unlock the bootloader of your xperia z1 compact without wipe userdata (e.g. sdcard), and TA partition. This mean that you’ll be able to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or ParanoidAndroid! You do not need root permissions!
ATTENTION: If you mess something your device will be hard bricked. This mean that you'll lose your warranty. Neither I nor the forum are leable of your actions.
1) Follow this guide on how to obtain key from Sony to unlock your bootloader.
2) Make a TA partition backup (this will let you switch from unlocked to locked bootloader, and vice-versa without consequences and without any wipe).
3) Download this simple tool that I've made: https://mega.nz/#!cZRXFTIS!PLXKhwbLfTDz7A-wJL_kBDDPiwyxzsBfu9X1321v8Gw.
It requires Java>=1.5 and it works on each desktop OS.
4) Open command prompt (terminal) and navigate to the folder of the tool.
5) Type: cust-rest-gen.jar [KEY]. Where [KEY] is the key that Sony send to you for unlock your bootloader.
Example (just an example):
Code:
On windows:
cust-rest-gen.jar 8FC42DA9D84D7CFC
On linux or mac os:
./cust-rest-gen.jar 8FC42DA9D84D7CFC
This command will generate a “cust-reset.ta” file.
6) Download the loader.sin for your firmware (here for .157: http://d-h.st/rvn)
7) Create a folder (call it “bootloader” to simplify) on your desktop and move loader.sin and cust-reset.ta inside.
8) Open Flashtool (download it here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)
9) Click on Tools->Bundles->Create and set it up in this way (Branding and Version may vary according to your firmware):
​
10) Click on “Create” button and Flashtool will create ftf file on folder “firmware”.
11) Turn off you phone and click on flash icon on Flashtool -> Flashmode -> OK -> Select ftf you have created before and click on “Flash”.
12) When the program tell you, press volume down button on device and connect on PC.
Special Thanks to munjeni that has found how the cust-reset.ta works.

I appreciate the effort to contribute something to the community, please note the following though:
- Unlike what you say in the OP, this will still wipe DRM keys
- You can do this via Flashtool [BLU] icon directly, without downloading an additional program and less steps

I've tried: this is the DRM backup first and after the bootloader unlocker

The size will always be the same. Check the hash and you will notice the difference.

This is true, I've correct the post!

Where did you get the ftf? Best way is to use Xperifirm. If you downloaded the file from somewhere else, FT might be missing something it needs. Xperifirm takes care of that...

Usual situation with Xperifirm is:
- File gets downloaded (about 10 minutes), and you get 'download complete' message.
- Close Xperifirm, and Flashtool pops up a message about a new script found, '...do you want to add?'. Click yes, and wait (about 10 minutes).
- Afterwards, when you go to flash, you should get a popup asking if you want to use fsc script, say yes.
Did you do all that? If so, and still not booting, check 'userdata' box in wipe section at the screen you posted above, (backup anything you want if you can).

needs fsc file

It's usually part of the FT / Xperifirm process. It should be in Flashtool home folder > devices > F53xx folder. Did the first two parts of the process go properly?
