If you are one of the unfortunate few who have the three button fix disabled and need to go back to stock 2.1 use this instead of Designgears original Odin one click.
Put the PDA.tar and PIT files in the appropriate places in odin and flash in download mode.

Anyone with the three button disabled, please confirm that this is working for you as well.
I tested this on my phone with the 3button disabled, and the 3 button was working after the flash back to 2.1
Is the JF6 firmware with this the same as that on samfirmware.com? And why is this version superior to the one click version? If the three button method to get into download mode is disabled, one has to try one of the other methods to get there (adb reboot download, volume buttons + usb plugin, phone + ! + computer to download mode, etc.). Once in download mode somehow, how does a flash from this version help more? Not doubting, just need clarifications.
This is the JF6 firmware from samfirmware.com.
This version is not superior to the one click if the three button combo came enabled with your phone.
This is for people whose phones didn't come with the three button combo. If you flash this from download mode, the three button combo should work for you.
Here is the problem. DG has put out a fix for the three button combo. If you have a problem updating a rom, or you need to flash back to stock for some reason, the Odin one click will disable the fix. This will work the same as the Odin one click, but it keeps the three button intact (it should). It should also enable the three button fix if yours has never worked.
If you flash with the one click Odin and then brick your phone trying to flash rom manager recovery, or trying to flash another rom, that's it, your phone is bricked. If you have three button working and brick your phone, you can still use the keys to flash back to a working rom. This should help keep the three button intact at all times.
If your three button isn't working, you shouldn't be flashing roms, or anything really. If you're going to, you need to get the three button working(IMO).
My three button combo worked from day one, and flashing the one click did not affect it adversely. If dg has put out a fix for those with bad phones. Wouldn't it be adequate to simply apply just the fix?

No.
DG's fix is wiped when using his Odin one click. That's why this Odin flash was needed.
If yours worked from day one, this isn't for you.
Good work C3P0LOL! I'm glad someone was able to put my idea into action, finally. This will definitely put me more at ease flashing back to stock, not having to worry about it failing. Also I don't know if you did it on purpose or if it was just luck but the fact that it flashes the SBL first is a nice touch.
I'm glad you like it! This should help those of us without the three button rest a little easier. The sbl.bin flashing first is clutch!

Thanks for this. I haven't tried it out, but it's what us poor 3 button lame owners need!

+1 for this.
As mentioned earlier, you either have some cool telepathic abilities or simply just a genius for having thought of this. I remember going into DG's thread about this as well, and I remember you being actively helping out over there, how did you stumble upon this? I have the JF6 one click Odin, but i was not aware that by using the one click, it would delete sbl.bin. It makes sense, because on his OP it even states that the process may have to be repeated everytime a new Rom is flashed (unless of course the Rom being flashed already contains the enabled sbl). <----That is for those who NEVER had the 3-button function out of the box.
"...you cant lose it if you already have it...."
EDIT: Newb Question: Isn't there a version of the one click Odin somewhere in XDA that already has this included as part of the flash? Or did i have too much to drink already? lol
EDIT 2: please disregard my last Edit. SMH
This was a concern to some of us without the three button combo in the irc chat. I'm glad I was able to build a working version of this for us. Enjoy it guys!

Download the odin file, the pit file and the pda file.
Open odin.
connect phone to usb and put it in download mode.
Put the pit file where it says pit in odin.
put the pda file where it says pda in odin.
click start and wait for it to finish.
This will set your phone back to 2.1 stock with three button enabled.
Use at your own risk.

Hey C3....
Newb Q: The original files that are found in the PDA, or any other Odin (including one click) for stock JF6....are they straight from Samsung or is it a modified version of the stock JF6?
The reason i ask, is because i have 2 cappys, one Bone stock and the other has been modded + rooted + lag fixxed + flashed and then back to stock and comparing the 2 (stock-wise) the modded cappy seems to have even more lag. <--------true story. lol
They are straight from Samsung, they might be leaked, but they come from Samsung. These stock kernels and files are pure 100% stock, except this one has the modified sbl.bin in it.
Yup, what he said. THe sbl.bin is even stock, it's just from a stock phone that works.

Sweet! Thanks Dem.
For the record, i flashed this with Odin and I now have 3-button recovery/ download that did NOT come with my Cappy (out of the Box) AND my Batch Number is 1008.
I'm glad this was able to help!
Hello!
Yesterday my tablet hanged and it cannot reboot. It showed few times desktop and instantly rebooted just after this. I decided to make HW reset and then I had Samsung logo with bubbles without interruptions for few hours. Then I used Odin to copy original firmware. It didn't help also I see the same screen with bubbles. Are there any other things that I can try to do?

What exactly did you do with Odin? It should usually be effective since it is supposed to restore the actual original factory state...
I used this to install new original image http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/guide-how-to-restore-stock-firmware-t2979006
Now I actualy cannot switch it off it starts booting again in the loop. I downloaded image from one of the links if it can help I used XAR-T330NUUEU1ANK1-20141120170310.

Yeah the hosting on rapid gator is atrocious, here is a link to the file you need on android file host, a much quicker download. It is a different build, but same model and same region.
I've got a collection of firmware images hosted on android file host here; the SM-T330NU link in the thread is the same link in the previous paragraph.
Just to be absolutely certain, you're not trying to flash an actual .img file through Odin correct? The only file types you should be flashing through Odin are .tar and .tar.md5

I think that I used already this file without success (T330NUUEU1ANK1_T330NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar.md5), yep, I gave it for Odin in this format (didn't extract it further). It seems that everything uploaded fine, but tablet just shows constantly Samsung logo with bubbles and nothing happen after 1.5 hours or at least 1 hour. I think, may be I have partition problem...

OK, I tried both of firmwares and it didn't help. Upload was finished with success and after, there is just welcome screen with model number and then Samsung logo with bubble animation that constantly appear in the loop.
Do anybody know, where I can download PIT file for SM-T330NU? Or propose some other methods that I can try.
First, I have installed a ROM on my phone before and I followed very specific instructions. I am a developer in the land of microsoft so I recognize I am very much a newbie here.
Now, on to what I have now and what I want to do.
1. I have a Note 3. The SM-N9005. The baseband version is: N900W8.... suffice to say it is a canadian phone. If the rest of the baseband numbers are important I will post them, just ask.
2. I want to install the Alliance ROM, it seems to have what I am looking for.
3. When I rooted and ROMed my phone years ago I used the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2614772
4. Currently my phone is running a Jedi ROM from the vintage of that thread. However I must have made a mistake back then because the Hotspot feature does not work. Making the hotspot feature work again is my primary reason for undertaking this operation. The 4G works, I can use the Internet on the phone just fine. The wireless works I can connect to a wireless signal and use the internet that way (I confirmed this was working with mobile data off). The hotspot will allow a connection from a device (such as my laptop), but no data passes between the 4G connection and the connected computer.(yes, I turned on Mobile Data On) I have tried this using different computers connected to the hotspot to confirm it is the fault of the Note3.
Back when I did this flashing thing before I had to be careful to get the right CSC file and modem file and a few other steps. I had to specify the correct CSC file in addition to the rom I wanted to flash.
With that background, my questions are below (if you need any more info to point me in the right direction, just ask):
One last note... I will be performing any and all instructions from a macbook pro Mid 2012 with no other devices on the usb host controller running a near virgin copy of windows 7.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Do I need to worry about CSC files, modem files and so on to Flash to Alliance ROM and still have everything work? I ran across a thread that said that some ROMs have all the CSC files in them, but I cannot find any direct information (or I missed it) about the Alliance ROM with regards to CSC files and the like.
I thought I had TWRP installed, but when I boot to recovery the top two lines read
line1: Android system recovery <3e>
line2: KOT49H.N9005XXUENB4
Is this TWRP? Should I download the latest TWRP for my device and flash it using the AP button from Odin 3.10? If there is a different technique I should use, I will try it.
The instructions say that if I am not installing from stock 4.4.2 or stock 5.0 that I should install stock first, then install the alliance rom. I visited the sammobile website and there are no ROMs for the USA or Canada there... am I missing something or should I just use the UK ROM from that website? I guess I am not sure how to identify the correct ROM for Canada.
I did load the Alliance ROM 8.2 onto my SD card and attempted to use the option apply update from external storage and it failed. Nothing happened at all and the phone eventually rebooted and the ROM never installed.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me on this endeavour. I am largely looking for resources that I have not been able to find up until now. I am okay with help such as Read This Post! and so on.
If the phone is an n9005, not sure how the baseband can be n900w8 as the n9005 was never sold by Canadian carriers as far as I know.
Here's a link to the stock n900w8 firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

First of all, you should detect what device you own. You can install this APP and add some screenshots for avoid problems and give us more info about your device (IMEI not necessary).
We will try to detect if you own a clone, a SM-N9005 or SM-N900W8.
Additional Info as requested
Here are the screenshots that were requested. Thanks for your help. Yes, I will and continue to use the thanks button as well.

I think you should flash the stock rom first via ODIN. Coz your baseband don't fit with your bootloader and your PDA either.
PS: You can use MEGA mirror as well :highfive:
I have the stock ROM from SamMobile. I am set to flash the phone. I have everything set but I searched the forum as a final check to make sure I am doing the right things and I found a post that says I need a PIT file. I can find a PIT file for HLTE verizon phones but I do not know if that PIT file works with the image I downloaded from sammobile. Of course I am connecting the dots from the info program I ran where is says on the general tab that the phone is of type hlte.
When I click on PIT in Odin it says this function is for engineers only. As a programmer myself I would put a message like that for a function I don't want people using needlessly but it does give me pause to ask about it. As they say Flash in Haste...Cry at Leisure..
Many thanks to you all. I have installed the stock ROM and it works. I can make phone calls, wifi works, 4g works, and hotspot works.. YAYA... Now, I would do the alliance rom but I can honestly say I am not sure I want to mess with it. I want the phone call recording feature but that is all I want...It would be the only reason to do the alliance rom. And it appears as though that rom is not done the same way as the stock rom as there is no md5 file.
anyhow.. thanks again to all who helped. I have thanked each post as well. If you have some tips based on my above info, I would be very grateful.
There are quite a lot of call recording apps which work well as far as I know, ACR being one of the example.
Only tar or tar.md5 files are flashed in Odin. Any non-stock ROMs are flashed using a custom recovery.
You can flash a custom recovery to your phone using Odin in the PDA/AP box from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/ Just use the latest tar file.
Once you have a custom recovery on the phone, you can create a backup of your existing ROM, then flash a custom ROM.
Hi all,
Has anybody got the stock Android 9 Firmware for the SM-G950F. All the download links i have tried have failed. I'm currently running TWRP with a Samsung Android 9 ROM.
I want the stock firmware in order to get access to Google Pay, etc..
My phone has a UK vodafone sim card.
Thank you
flashable though TWRP or the Odin files?

Through ODIN as i want to get rid of TWRP
Go to sammobile.com/firmwares/archive
Register with your email and seach for your model number and select your country, then download the zip with 5 files: AP, BL, CSC, HOME CSC and CP.
Open odin and put the files in the specific box (in CSC I use Home CSC file).
Boot your device in Download Mode (POWER+VOL DOWN+BIXBY)
Connect to your Pc and press Star
Wait until Odin shows PASS, the device take more time to boot.
I suggest to fully charge the phone before flashing the firmware

Hi,
I decided not to use the stock ROM as i have found a custom one that allows google pay and other restricted apps. Thank you tho for providing the link. I will use the stock firmware later on when i change phones. :good:
I use the stock firmware and I disabled the apps that i dont use with ADB. Do you suggest me to root my S8 or not?
Guys i need a stock firmware with all the 5 files aswell...I want to sell the phone but i cant sell it as it is running LOS16 currently...Im downloading a firmware from sammobile but its very slow, 4 hours to download it...

What version of Odin are you using, and what firmware are you trying to flash?
Have you tried a different USB cable?
Generally flashing Samsung devices works pretty much the same. If you're returning to stock from a custom ROM or otherwise want to wipe data, use the CSC_xxxxx instead of HOME_CSC_xxxxx file in the CSC slot. Data doesn't mix and match well, so if you didn't wipe after coming from a custom ROM or other firmware, that could be the reason for the instability.

I've tried several ODIN versions. 3.12,3.13, 3.14, 2 different modified versions and it seems to be the same.
I have tried 3 different cables, no change.
I have tried using the normal CSC and HOME_CSC but I still return errors.
I can flash the combination firmware and the stock MM rom listed in the original post but no matter what other post I try to follow I can not get any to take. How can I get rid of this combination firmware and return to stock completely?

I think what you need to do is re-partition the device using the factory PIT file that's located in the CSC package. In the Odin options tab, check the NAND Erase and Re-Partition boxes, then in the PIT tab, select the PIT file you extracted from the CSC_xxxx.tar
DO NOT check Re-Partition without using the PIT file. Make sure you're using the correct firmware for your device as this could result in a brick.

As I stated above, it should be in the CSC file.
Well, after many many hours of trying what seems like countless roms/files I have finally got it back to stock Oreo but the lag and stability is horrible. It is pretty much unusable, music apps crash/stutter, Playstore takes about 3 minutes to start up and can't even be scrolled through, returning to the home screen takes about 2 minutes as you watch each and every element load in one at a time including the wallpaper. I think the phone is trash now? I'm on B/11 (G935VVRSBCTC1) if that helps with any suggestions.

did you flash stock with odin?
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I got the rom from samfw and flashed with Odin. Then I tried using Smart switch to update it and it was all successful but the phone is still fairly jittery. It's not as bad as it was on the combo rom but music apps still stutter and the system overall is pretty laggy.
Side note: The phone ran like new prior to flashing the combo rom.

it sounds like you didnt wipe data so reboot too stock recovery and wipe data
I think it's running about as good as it's going to. I reflashed the stock Oreo firmware and extracted the pit, nand erase, re-partitioned, wiped data /cache. Still a bit jittery but it'll do. Just need it to play music while at work.
Thanks for the advice.
