Sounds like you don't have the $4.99 version of the app.

I don't think you can do what you're trying with the free version.

I got it late last year so I can't really remember, but its Mobile Odin Pro v3.65... so that should be the paid app right? The option to use OTA is there, it just gives me an error. I'm thinking it might not be the right kind of update.zip... but not sure where to get the right one from..

The thing is that if you format system you won't be able to use M.O.

Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

OK....so this is how I did it.....(going the other way.....back to stock)

1) DL the correct flash kernel (from the OP) and the firmware from here.....

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100

move both to external removable micro SD card. And make sure to have a fresh copy of your existing cusROM and GApps located on the same external removable micro SD card.

1a) back up all important personal data and make a nandroid and move it to your removable miSD card

2) reboot the phone into recovery and complete a format of ALL partitions (including preload, emmc, system "et all")

3) while in recovery, reinstall the totally clean cusROM and GApps (from your micro SD card)

4) reboot phone normally and perform the expected initial setup, but choose NOT to restore all user apps or any other data.

5) go to play store and purchase pro version of M.O.

6) install previously downloaded flash kernel from micro SD card

7) open M.O. select your firmware and allow M.O to place the files where they need to be.

8) if you want to be stock unrooted, make sure that the ever root box is UNchecked

9) make sure that the cache, dalvic and data wipe boxes are checked

10) select "start flash" and allow M.O to run it's md5 checks

11) allow process to complete, and.......voila.......1 totally stock phone........

I know that this process possibly contains too many steps, but wiping EVERYTHING and then reinstalling a totally uncluttered "clean" cusROM prior to using M.O seems to me to be the only way to eradicate everything that a service centre might be on the look out for if your reasons for doing this are to return your phone for repair........

That's a pity. I guessed it would. And that's why:

Some time ago, after some googling regarding 'Full Wipe', I was deeply impressed by these two OPs. By the first because of its heading, by the second because of its 'impressive' explanation:

1. "[READ] [GUIDE] How to perform a FULL wipe. (Yes it matters)" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410881

2. "Full Wipe, The Correct Way." http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/

In the "Full Wipe, The Correct Way", Spider, the Forum Moderator, uses 'impressive' words to help even non-experts, like me, understand why a 'Full Wupe' matters: "Going into clockworkmod and just selecting wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache is not a proper full wipe, its like wiping your ass with **** still in your asshole untill you wash it, no no no, this method doesn't remove the old system files, they are still there untill you carry out a format of the system partition, if you dont do this and install a rom over it you will have problems with the rom you just installed.

" .

(I suppose, the proposed CWM recovery procedure was proposed before Brick-Bug time. Nowadays, it would rather explicitly insist on using a Brick-Bug safe CWM.)

Spider's CWM procedure, still within CWM, ends with "Now go back and install the rom from the internal or external sd card.".

I guessed that somthing similar would be possible within Mobile Odin Pro. M.O.P would use an appropriate intermediate storage to survive its own procedure. Sorry, I was wrong. :(

Hence, these questions:

@Chainfire

Could M.O.P be upgraded to include 'Full Wipe' of all leftovers of previous ROMs or is that not necessary?

@gastonw, @all

Until then, how would read a Brick-Bug safe, multi-step procedure with Mobile Odin Pro that would include a real 'Full Wipe'?

Or, is 'Full Wipe' in the sense of the cited postings not necessary?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] keithross39:
Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

That's why my method performs a full format / wipe and then suggests reinstalling a "pristine" clutter free cusROM prior to using M.O.....you may still have some files left over from that fresh install after using M.O, but at least you won't have all the c**p left over from deleted apps that you would have if you used M.O to flash on top of a "dirty" system. It's a case of the lesser of two evils. The only other way, and I doubt it's even possible, would be to have a working (temporary) OS installed on your removable micro SD card that your phone could access and use.....in a similar fashion to a windows PC booting up from an external HDD.....

Edit....wonder if it would be possible for CF to release a cwm flashable version of MO pro that could be installed and used from inside cwm?.... That would allow a complete format and let MO to do its thing on totally "pristine" hardware.......

Edit 2.....just thought about my above suggestion....and it wouldn't work.....MO needs an OS framework to function, and if that OS has been removed during a format........

So it's back to plan A......boot from external removable micro SD card (if possible)....

Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

Damn....the more I think about this, the more complex it becomes......

I'm not a dev, so I don't even know if any of the following is possible.....but this is my take on it.....

1) a single downloadable apk that contains the flash kernel, a "basics" ROM (no apps, no widgets not even GApps), a fully functioning CWM and MO. It would probably need an install script that forced installation on to the removable micro SD card.

2) It would probably also need a script that forced a reboot into the newly SD card installed CWM to enable completion of the partition formats.

3) My guess is that the CWM would need to be modified too, to force the phone to reboot from the micro SD card when "reboot system now" was selected.

4) Once the rebooting has finished MO could then be used to install the previously downloaded firmware.....but then I'm guessing that MO would have to be modified too, so that it forces firmware flashing on to the built in storage partition and NOT the removable micro SD card........am I there? I don't know, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong....... :)

Thanks for thinking about it. Please keep motivating and encouraging experts/devs to join in and eventually build the integrated MO-CWM-MO! :)

I am very happy with your 'lesser evil', though. :)

By 'multi-step procedure with Mobile Odin Pro' I was thinking of a procedure like 'your method' with these main steps:

Part 1. Spider's wipe procedure with specific advices for 'Which CWM?' and 'Which ROM to load before leaving CWM?'.

Part 2. Let MOP do its thing using the ROM flashed in previous step.

Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

Hey guys, I got a Galaxy Nexus and the USB port is not working, so I already locked the boot loader, bought this app, downloaded google factory image but I can't still flash it. It says partition could not be found in file or something to that effect. I am not sure what to do. The factory image is a .tar file. I tried decompressing that and trying with the decompressed file but doesn't even see it.

What do you guys suggest?

N7000 turns itself on

Thanks for this great tool. I recently got a problem with my Galaxy Note (N7000): it powers itself on from a complete power-off state. The only way to prevent it seems to be to remove the battery.

1. (before I ever had the issue) I bought MO a few weeks ago to revert to stock ROM and decided to root it using MO. That all worked fine.

2. Since last weekend the phone started powering itself on.

3. I tried various ROMs and kernels since then.

4. Only the unrooted stock ROM, which I tried for a day and night, did not show the issue. The other (all rooted) ROMs did show it.

Could the problem be related to rooting the phone, using MO, the kernel or ROM? Or do you think it is a hardware issue and it was just luck that it dit not occur with the unrooted stock ROM?

My warranty expires this week, so I would like to figure out what is causing this issue. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
I'm really not sure what you guys are on about with this full wipe, MO-CWM-MO combination, etc. It's just BS. Way too many steps.

All you need to do is download the full stock firmware, open it in M.O.P., make sure the wipe options are selected, and the EverRoot options are *not* selected. Flash. Done. You're back on full stock.
[Android Software Development] keithross39:
Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

First of all please let me stress that we are not trying to second guess a dev of your calibre. Its just that we've seen various threads here on XDA and on other android forums that state "wiping cache, dalvic and data doesn't constitute a full wipe/format" and that files left undeleted from a previous ROM can have a negative effect on a fresh install. Also, I've read that the accepted opinion is that when changing OS "generations", a *complete* wipe is desirable. All we were doing was theorizing the possible ways of achieving that totally clean system, while still being able to use mobile Odin. If you say that none of it is necessary, then I'll bow to your greater knowledge on the subject and drop it. As I said before, it was never our intention to question or second guess you on this......you are clearly better placed to judge what is or is not needed during a firmware flash.......

That story only applies to flashing an update-zip-based ROMs, as most custom firmwares do. It is not applicable to stock firmwares. Spider is talking about left-over files in system, which can indeed happen when flashing an update-zip-based ROM over another update-zip-based ROM, as these *modify* the file system. Flashing a stock system *replaces* the file system, as such, all previous contents are lost.

§) Edit

Please, also have a look at page 267 #2670:

A) 'All with M.O.P' procedure question. Confirmed by CF in #2680 page 268

B) Summary of answers, suggested to add to Manual.

c) Full Wipe question. Reasoned by keithross39 in #2681 and answered by CF in #2682 page 269.

All these questions would not have popped up if the answeres could have been found summarized in the Manual on page1.

Thus, I strongly suggest to add these answers (those collected in A, B of #2670 and those quoted here) to the Manual at page 1!

I am convinced this will pay off quickly to everyone, to prospective new users who have these unanswered questions and to forum experts who could save their valuable time answering questions and helping prospective M.O users.

No explicit confirmation yet? Only guesses! :(

@CF or who else can give an explicit confirmed answer

Many tutorials and forum postings advice to perform a factory reset after flashing a new ROM or FW.

What should a MOP user know about Factory reset after MOP's flashing with AverRoot activated has finished?

Q1. Given MOP is requested to flash a new stock FW (e.g. JB 4.1.2), after having finished flashing it, does MOP also perform a factory reset or an equivalent of a factory reset? Or is that not necessary?

Q2. After MOP with EverRoot checked has finished its magic, the phone is rooted. Right?

Q3. Will it stay rooted when the user, in the phone's settings, starts a factory reset? Yes? or No?
