Hi Chainfire (and everyone),

Looks like you have some fantastic work going on, and it's actually the reason I got the S2 (for DSLR Controller).

Being a newbie to Android I just want to check my understanding from what I've read both on here and googling for info.

The Mobile Odin app looks like the easiest way to get firmware 2.3.4 and kh kernel on the device, and with a back up of the stock firmware and kernel to reverse the process if required (e.g. warranty issues). I just wanted to check that it doesn't leave traces? I think that's the flash counter?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry my friend, didn't see your post.

I can't get my tab to get to download or recovery mode, it is in the boot loop what ever I do , I can't even turn it off, it is in the boot loop whan ever there is juice left in the bettery , and when the battery is dead, when I connect to power supply it start the boot loop by it self .
[Android Software Development] My1xT:
weird that holding Volume down and power doesnt work...

I do not know everthing, but I heard that a socalled USB JIG can help to get in DL Mode, but Samsung diest use microsusb for Tabs but they use the earlier apple Dock Connector (at least it clearly seems like that)

but normally you can force turnoff the device by holding power for about 10 sec. or alike, and that should be hardware controlled if you ask me...

Hi. I tried to search thread but did not find an answer to this query. Sorry if I missed answer. Anyways, I was trying to install PhilZ kernal for the T889 Note 2 and when I open the file in Mobile Odin it puts it in the Recovery Partition. Is this correct? Why didn't it go in the Kernal Partition? Is it ok to proceed as is? Thanks!
[Android Software Development] pat357:
Phiz is a custom Recovery and every recovery needs a own kernel. (independent from the kernel if your android is running)

if Mobile Odin puts it in recovery, this is right ; it *is* a recovery !!

BTW, good choice : Phiz Recovery is the best Recovery atm (lot's of features, can make/restore both CWM and TWRP backups,.)

Hello everyone!

Just bought this magnificent app, and since I'm a lazy one and don't wanna install Odin and setup all the stuff on the new PC, i'm planning on updating a galaxy s2 (i9100) from 4.0.4 to the official Spanish FOP last stock firmware using this app.

First I got the firmware from samfirmware (the .zip). I open Mobile Odin Pro, "open zip", I select external sdcard and link to the .zip I downloaded, it says it's gonna flash kernel system etc. I mark everroot and all the stuff to preserve the root, and now the 2 questions:

- Should I mark wipe data and wipe cache? since the actual kernel is 4.0.4 (eMMC brickbug)? I've read that wiping on Mobile Odin Pro is not the same than wiping on CWM, hence my doubt :S. Because since I'm jumping from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, a wipe is ultra necessary, if I'm not mistaken.. (would like to evade bootlop). I'm actually on AMN CSC and will change to FOP CSC, don't know if this matters.

- Apart from the wipe options and pressing the flash button, anything else I need to do or that am I doing wrong?

This seems way too simple and I'd feel like an idiot if it's this easy and I mess it somehow :S

Thanks in advance! :)

Almost my situation: Have ICS 4.0.4 (ATO), want to upgrade to JB 2.1.2 and would like to EverROOT.

My 2 questions are:

1. Which JB 2.1.2 FW should I take?

I9100XWLS8 Android 4.1.2 (16.01.2013) (Spain)

I9100XWLSD Android 4.1.2 (31.01.2013) (Nordic countries, Spain, Italy)

I9100XXMS1 Android 4.1.2 (31.01.2013) (Poland-XEO)

I9100XWLSE Android 4.1.2 (22.02.2013) (Russia-SER) ?

2. Which apps should I select for EverROOT? I do not quite understand the meaning of this sentence in the Manual from #2 on page 1 "Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed."

Which kind of apps should I select here?

Does Mobile ODIN not download and inject what is needed like it does with the Flashkernels?

What apps would an expert select in my upgrade case?

wow, I just noticed that this app won't flash bootloaders, so I can't flash the galaxy S2 4.1.2 rom with M.O.P coming from a 4.0.4 because I'd screw up the thing without its new bootloader????

Edit: better explanation:

Inside the FOP-4.1.2 rom, I can find 8 files, including "sbl.bin" and "boot.bin". If I'm not mistaken, those are bootloader files, and won't be flashed when using Mobile Odin..

can this cause problems? Moving from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 needs the new bootloader??
[Android Software Development] PeFri:
Again, almost my situation! Please let me join again RusherDude's question.

When I tested Open file of a directory including a PIT file, then Mobile Odin does not show (allow to select) the PIT file.

Though, Odin3 file input window has slots for Re-Partition PIT and Bootloader.

I did not find an explicit statement in the 'manual' postings on page 1 that Mobile Odin does not support PIT and bootloader. Though, there are no explicit statements that it would.

In #3 OTA / Update ZIP files there is a section Format "...Mobile ODIN tries to detect if a flashable ZIP will attempt to format one of the partitions, and in light of the known issues (hard-bricking) this may cause on some devices, it will warn you of this fact..." which could indicate that Mobile Odin may have good reasons do not want to support PIT and/or bootloader.

Please, experts, share your knowledge: Is there a limitation concerning Odin jobs which include Re-Partition (PIT) and Bootloader?
[Android Software Development] gastonw:
Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

You're refering

to 4.0.4's brick bug?

Odin is meant to overwrite existing FW. M.O is too.

In odin you got the chance to re-partition your device while in M.O this feature is disabled and I quote "for your own good".

What M.O does is to use it's own kernel to flash ROMs, this means that it "pauses" the current kernel of the device and starts doing it's thing with it's own tools.

When it comes to "wipes", M.O should do it with this kernel it's using, so no aparent risk on bricking the device.

It is suggested not to use M.O while on 4.0.4's kernel, but I'd never seen anyone bricked because of it.

When chainfire was asked about it he said "shouldn't, but I don't know" (back when brick bug came to light) and M.O will wipe and flash regardless of the kernel" as I recall.

I would use M.O to flash on 4.0.4, some would prefer to flash siyah first.

You can flash tar and md5 files, md5 can ve flashed as an OTA via M.O.

It will also extract zip files.

You'll always be rooted with its everroot option, always get SU and M.O apps.

It flashes ROMs within 3-5 mins; won't let you flash of battery < 50 and it'll also check the signatures on any flashable file.

One last thing, it places all files on it's own regardless of the selection order.

7 outta 10 people brick their devices because of a bad pit flash, M.O is not in the bricking business.

[Android Software Development] keithross39:
Re: [2013.02.23][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v3.65

If the flash kernel is in a zip, you have to extract it and (side load) flash the apk contained inside. Once you've done that, you can open MO and bring your stock firmware into the app. If you want to keep root, enable ever root. It's down to personal choice if you want to inject SU and MO during the flash, but I believe it is recommended to enable the data, cache and dalvic wipes......

Hi, I'm currently on stock firmware with root only on a Galaxy S3 I9305T on 4.1.1. I received an OTA update for 4.1.2 which failed to install (probably because I have root).

I managed to copy the update.zip file that it download it and tried running it through mobile odin but it gives me this error, "an error occurred extracting the update script".
