use the others)

Wait for it to verify the MD5 then click [Start]

From here on out its all automated Odin will Flash the firmware then restart (dont forget first boot takes time)

If you get stuck in a boot loop go into recovery and do a factory reset (probably should regardless)

TWRP Files/flashing guide

Also download and copy superSu & twrp to your phone if you want root and custom recovery SUPERSU DOWNLOAD AND TWRP-xxxxxxx.zip

Select dalvik cache, system, Data and cache

Click the home Icon in the bottom left

If you want root and/or twrp add UPDATE-SuperSU-vxxxxx.zip to the queue by touching [Add More Zips]

Repeat for TWRP-xxxxxxx.zip

Swipe to install [====>]

After completion click [wipe cache/dalvik] (do not skip especially if you dirty flashed)

Swipe to wipe [====>]

Click [back]

Click [reboot system] (it might say no os but it is wrong you do have a os click restart anyway) [dirty flash will not have that problem]

If you want internal sd to be formatted do a factory reset in what should now be the stock recovery (if you didn't install the twrp zip)
