Hi, thank you for this. But I am having a problem...
I am unable to create a flashable METAINF.zip using 7zip. I tried to flash it using CWM and Philz with installation aborted message both times. That was with 4.3 firmware. So I then tried to repeat the process with the 4.1.2 firmware with the same results. Am I missing something on making the zip flashable?
Thanks,
Kes
Edit
Scrap that. My zip is now flashable. Was compressing the entire folder, not just the three files within it. 4.3 didn't work though. Off to have a go at 4.1.2 instead.....

Nope, still no network. But instead of saying emergency calls only, it says no service. Manually searching for a network shows a pop up saying no sim
It is proper forum etiquette to only quote a prior post when necessary and then only the pertinent portion of the post. Above is a good example of a 10-page thread from only 1-2 pages of content. Please do your fellow forum members a favor and try to adopt this approach.
Thank you Scott586 for pointing out my drastic error which I can only profoundly apologise for. But may I, ever so gently, point out that I am a very new member and am not yet familiar with the buttons. The forums I usually frequent have a "quote" button which quotes the post you wish to reply to. This forum simply states "reply", a button I am accustomed to using when replying/responding/posting on a thread.
A forum etiquette that I am familiar with though is not to give newbies a hard time while they learn the new layout. Maybe that is one which could also be implemented here?
Oh, and back on topic, 4.1.2 didn't work either. Back to the drawing board for me
for my phone, that's not work. I'm on 4.1.2 (XEF-I9300XXEMG4) and when i follow your process, network is over, WiFi too! IMEI/Baseband are blank.
Maybe i make a mistake but i don't think. Thank you.

Root install CWM or PHILZ recovery with odin .tar file ....? please attach with video instruction if possible waiting for u r reply as soon as possible
This method sounds quite promising but looks like it's for stock ROM only...I've lost my network, but I have a custom rom installed (Archidroid 1.7.12). Network was working on stock 4.1.2 with ariza patch. Any experience with that or have any idea how your method would be applied to my situation? Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to update my samsung galaxy s2 with latest firmware available for india (XWKF3)
Firmware info
PDA:XWKF3
PHONE: XXKE7
CSC:KCLKF1
Build date: 09/06/2011
So this is what i did.
1 Downloaded odin3 v1.85
2 Downloaded GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKF3_I9100DDKE4_I9100ODDKF3
3 Downloaded CSC_INU_I9100ODDKE2
My problem is odin is unable to find PDA - .tar file.
Am i missing something ? Please advice...
One do the instructions tell you to unzip the file GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKF3_I9100DDKE4_I9100ODDKF3
Or do they tell you to put it directly as a tar file to ODIN pda as per all the instructions .Or are they different instructions to that .

Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from above and extract the .tar file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Extract tar file means you should have a full tar file in tar format .
A try the full file you downloaded .
B that fails unzip the original file to a tar file do not then unzip the tar file .
jje
Don't unzip the tar file. The file browser is expecting to find something of that file type.
Your post shows you have unzipped the tar file .
jje
Thanks. I still have few more questions.
1 Will the Phone field be blank without any file ?
2 Can include indian csc file CSC_INU_I9100ODDKE2 aswell or is that not required ?

it took all my yesterday but i guess i figured it out.. find odinv3 1.85, this is the one which sees the tab correctly, then keep your files unextracted from the *.tar format.. its icon should look like a rar file but the extension must be .TAR .. then by pressing the power+volume down buttons go into the black screen which asks you between download mode and recovery mode, by using the vol down button navigate to the download mode and with the vol up key select it.. then connect it to the computer, once Odin sees it click on the PDA and navigate to your tar file and then click on flash.. in 3 mins it will say PASS on the small box.. then when your tab is on this time go into recovery mode and wipe everything.. so it will be completely stock and just like when it is out of the box..

I've read it, but the guide is not answered my question.
@_delice_doluca_: thx, i tried it and it works for me.
I want to go back to stock rom. So I downloaded a zip file of the firmware.
Please give me the detailed steps to flash the rom without bricking it. My externel sdcard is unable to mount in CWM.
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
thank you.
First download and install odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
1. If it is in zip extract it using 7zip,winrar.....
2. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
3.Shut down your phone than put your device in download mode. To do so, press Vol-Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release Power (It might not work in first time,so try it three four time before posting again)
Button. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading.
4. You should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
5. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.
6. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default if not than check them).
7. Now click Start.
8. When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box and your device should reboot by itself
Good luck:good:
Thanks for your concern but i don't have the .tar file so i'm unable to flash it via ODIN. Can you give me the instruction to flash .zip file through CWM recovery. And what should i do if my external sd is unable to mount?

To flash through CWM you dont need external SD card. You can just copy the file in to Internal SD and flash it.
And for installing stock firmware, you cant just simply do it via CWM, you have to go for Odin only.
For this you need to download your original firmware from sammobile or in xda forums you can find it. Take a research, the above post will help.

Hi Guys,
When I bought my Grand Prime I installed the ROM G530HVJU1ANI8 and it works so I installed the new version G530HZTM1ANJ2 and it works too.
Now there are two new versions for my region that show up a message error like that : Odin just errors: Failed [Auth].
I used the Odin 3.07 and 3.09 versions
I'm using the Odin with only one file in extracted file choosing the file as pda
2014-09-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVJU1ANI8 G530HZTM1ANI8 - OK
2014-11-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVJU1ANJ2 G530HZTM1ANJ2 - OK
2015-02-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVCU1ANL4 G530HZTM1ANL4 - failed
2015-03-01 Brazil (TIM) 4.4.4 G530HVCU1AOB1 G530HZTM1AOB1 - failed
Someone from BR updated the recently ROM sucessfully or someone can help me to update ?
The mobile is not rooted.
Thanks

FAIL (AUTH)
For ppl who try flashing your device with new released firmware and got a message say "FAIL (AUTH)" in your odin,.. it is means you downloaded the wrong firmware region and that firmware is not compatible with your device..
You can try download another firmware region and re-try flash you device,..
My device is SM-G530H made in vietnam, i bough this phone on my country indonesian,..
The firmware worked for my device is kazakhstan region (i flashed it on early Feb and worked well) and also indonesian region (i flashed it on early March and worked well also)
Hope this helps
NOTE: I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS DEVICE, SO I MAYBE LIMITED ON THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER THAT ARE RELATED TO THE DEVICE!
EDIT: NOW REQUESTING TESTERS FOR THE BOC7 & BOC8 FIRMWARES (FILES NOT YET OBTAINED, SO I DO NOT RECOMMEND APPLYING ATM). NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU USE YOUR ALPHA AS A DAILY DRIVER! BEFORE "APPLYING", YOU MUST...
-Understand and be okay with the high-ish possibility of having your device brick during/after flash.
-Understand that if something does go wrong, you cannot put the blame on me. Follow all safety instructions for flashing and it should work fine.
PM ME IF INTERESTED!

Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop.
Cheers!
Sorry but... what is the diference between "4 file" and "combo"?

The simplest way to explain 4 file is in Odin, there are 4 firmware slots. The "4 File .rar package" has the correct file for each slot in Odin to flash. Example, extract the .rar package you (might have) downloaded, and you will see 4 .tar files and the pit file. So the BL_xxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_HOME.tar file would go in the BL slot in Odin.
Combo is basically all of those files that would be in the 4 .tar archives put into one. If you choose to download this file, the .tar package must be flashed though the AP slot in Odin.
And the .PIT file would go under the PIT tab in Odin.
If you don't want to lose your data while flashing, you can do this:
-Don't use the pit file in Odin
--or--
-If you chose to download the 4 file firmware, don't flash the CSC file and don't use the pit file.
--or--
-if you chose to download the combo firmware, you can use 7zip (I recommend downloading it onto your pc if you don't have it already) to extract the archive and delete cache.img.ext4, then repack the remaining files (Except the pit file) into a new .tar archive.
Cheers!

Open Odin and look to the right of the window, you will see 4 buttons, named "BL" "AP" "CP" and "CSC"
Extract the respective 4 file firmware from the downloaded .rar package to your desktop or downloads folder and open the folder once completed.
From there, you can insert the 4 .tar files into Odin. Once in Odin, click on the BL slot and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted files. Once there, select the tar file with the letters BL at the very beginning, and vice versa.
Example: BL_G850AUCU1BOC6_G850AATT1BOC6_LRX22G_HOME.tar (which is the bootloader files for lollipop firmware) would go under the BL slot in Odin.
Screenshot: https://mega.nz/#!2pZlGboI!M5YA2RGn0ufZ_bdVIFg6AD3xIH3iHg00JrAgHoo0OP8
If you downloaded the combo (all in one) firmware package, extract everything in the .rar file and place the .tar package under the AP slot in Odin, and if you want to perform a clean reset, make sure the .PIT file is under the PIT tab then PIT slot in Odin and make sure that "NAND Erase All" and "Re-Partition" is checked under the 'Options' tab.

I've tested all 4 of the firmware packages and each of them flashed no problem. What firmware version are you on right now? You can check that by going into Settings --> Device --> About Device.

The device hasn't received any ota updates so the flash should work. Did you download the version of Odin I posted on this thread? And did you try the lollipop or the kitkat firmware?

Wiping data will be pointless if Odin can't flash the firmware completely. Did you test the lollipop firmware or the kitkat firmware?

First time with kitkat I left it all night and it didnt end.
I have disconnected the phone in the morning and not started, then I installed the bootloader (of lolipop) alone and it is doing well.

Try booting your phone into download mode then reflash the Lollipop bootloader in Odin (BL File goes under the BL slot for 4 file). If you are not wanting to wipe your data, and if you downloaded the 4 file firmware, you can simply reflash the lollipop bootloader files then afterwards go back into download mode then reflash the AP and CP file. The actual bootloader in the phone does allow the flashing of different firmware versions for the device so it sounds like a small bootloader issue.

You also said that Odin was stuck on something during flash. Do you know what file was it stuck on (What file it said at the top left-hand corner of the Odin window)?

Try a different usb port on your computer, and if the same thing happens, try a different usb cable or switch the ports again.
No roots available still for g850a?There are other sites showing a root method
Is it possible to root if the g850a is flashed back to kit kat? has any one tried to flash the TWRP recovery available on their website for the slte? is that only for the exynos version? and possible try rooting throgh there?

The G850A Has a locked bootloader, therefore, cannot run TWRP or any custom kernel or recovery.
