[Workaround] Reboot to recovery from download mode using odin - Galaxy S III General

If your stuck in a boot-loop and you have a broken Home button or Volume buttons (Heck may be even both ), you can't enter to recovery and fix the soft-brick. I had the same problem and after hours of searching i found a way to boot into recovery using odin.
Steps:
1. Use MICRO USB JIG to enter download mode (Can buy on ebay and local phone spare part shops)
2. Set odin settings to Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time. (Reccomended cf auto root odin, It is preset for this type of flashes)
3. Load tar.md5 to AP and flash it
Voila, Now you are on twrp :highfive::good:
Flash twrp image from sd card and use reboot to recovery option or you can flash a rom directly from this
(If you are on a stock rom it may get overwritten, so use above step to flash recovery)
For other phone models: Use cache.img in chainfire autoroot and recovery.img(Don't use the one that comes with cf auto-root) of your phone model and search & follow instructions to build a odin tar.md5. Make sure to follow file order(of your device) in odin tar other wise your phone will brick.
This is not my sole work. I only followed the instruction and built the odin tar.md5 file

[Q] Rooting: flash the stock mj4 recovery

Hi,
I just rooted my device, but then I encountered a huge lagging problem. The device itself is almost not responding to any action. I am guessing that I might have done something wrong during the rooting process.
I followed the instruction below
1.Boot into Download mode (see methods above)
2.Flash autorootp600mj4.tar.md5 with Odin v3.09 (put in AP slot, don't change any other settings, click start)
3.Let it do its trick! Confirm root!
4.Reboot into download mode again and flash the stock mj4 recovery provided
At step 4 I rebooted into download mode and put the stock mj4 recover in AP slot and let it run. Was here where I did wrong?

Unleash your phone (aka install custom recovery). God has forgotten you edition

RECOVERY GUIDE
Flash signed recovery zip - Easiest way
1. The most common way is to simply flash Phil3759's Enhanced ClockWorkMod Touch.
2. Download the .zip file and copy it to your external sdcard
3. Then, reboot into the stock recovery (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume+ button pressed)
4. Choose "install zip from external storage" and select the already mentioned zip
5. Reboot. This should be enough!!
This is the easiest method, thus the followings are meant to be attempted only if you had problems with the previous
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odin - If you have a computer available
1. If you have any errors try going back to the Phil Download Home and instead download the latest i9100 .tar.md5 file
2. Download Odin 1.85 and unzip the archive
3. Open the executable and add the previously downloaded .md5 into the PDA field
4. Put the phone into Download mode (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume- button pressed)
5. Connect it to the computer and wait till drivers installation is finished
6. Start flashing
7. (optional) If you want to remove the yellow triangle, check Chainfire's Triangle Away
Mobile Odin - When you have nothing but errors
0. You'll need Chainfire's Mobile Odin. Show him your gratitude and buy the app if you want! :laugh:
1. Root your phone. If that doesn't work, try "Xperia Root by cubeundcube"
2. Download Dorimanx Kernel (one of the .md5 packages)
3. Open Mobile Odin and grant it root permissions
4. "Open file" and select the .md5 file
5. Follow instructions and go!
Reserved.
I would like to point out i made yet another guide for gs2, because yesterday I went to "unlock" my mum's i9100 and I had a very time
If somebody wrote a more comprehensive guide, sorry i miss it

Can not install any other modem

I want to install any other modem but my note 3 does not let me do anything
I use Tweaked S5 Base Note 4 Style rom Android 4.4.2 Version 7.0
Modem is: XXUENB1
Build: KOT49H.G900SKSU1ANI1
I disabled already the reactivation protection, USB DEBUGGING is also enabled.
I use the original USB cable from note 3. KIES is not installed on my pc and I used ODIN as admin.
I got another modem, put my phone into download mode connected of course, and used another modem and put it into (CP/PHONE) in Odin3.10
It says, the flash is successfull but after reboot, the MODEM is NOT changed :"(
I tried several other modems but I can not seem to install any modem! HELP!
I tried to install stock rom via ODIN but it failed as the modem installation...
PS: Safestrap is on my device, my device is of course rooted and I also use PHILZ TOUCH 6
Did you follow this steps?:
1. Download the modem.
2. Unpack the rar file to anywhere on your computer, as long as you can access it.
3. Open up the included Odin and uncheck auto reboot.
4. Click on phone/CP, select the modem.bin, and press start.
5. When you finish the flash, manually reboot your phone back to download mode and flash the modem.bin one more time.
6. When the flash is complete, reboot and you're finished!
It's because you did not power off your phone, or remove the battery before doing the button combo for download mode, let it stay off for 15 seconds then try again.
Should work fine.
Okay, I will try to do the dual Flash and tell you if it works!

Unbrick S7 Snapdragon After trying to go back to stock VIA Odin

Behold The Thread to solve your S7 Snapdragon Issue
- I have dealt with Odin errors for the last few days. Name as many as you can I've probably had it. The main issue is when people try to unroot by flashing stock ROM the phone will lock up (Soft Brick). This has happened to me many times in many different scenarios. Whether it presents itself with an eMMC error or any Fused Binary problems etc.
- Heres how to fix it.
- Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links yet but as soon as I can I will add them.
- Dowload your Stock firmware for your device.
- Download the S7 Snapdragon Root .tar for snapdragon
- Download the latest Odin Prince Comsy here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Put your S7 into download mode by holding: Home + Power + Volume Down until you see a warning. Accept it.
2.) Go to the Modified Prince Cosmy Odin and open it up
3.) Grab the s7 Qualcomm .tar file from the root file you downloaded earlier and put it in the AP slot on Odin.
4.) Go to options on Odin and select: Nand Erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
5.) Plug your S7 into your computer using a charging cord that is data transfer capable.
6.) After you see a blue or green box in Odin and see your device has been connected hit start
7.) After flashing the .tar root image. Put your phone back into download mode just like before and go back to Odin. (Make sure not to extract the zips inside the extracted USA ROOT zip.)
8.) Hit reset on Odin and go to options and select: Nand erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
9.) Fill in BL, AP, CP, and CSC with your phones stock firmware and then select start. If all goes well it should restore your S7 to working condition.
- Make sure to extract all the downloads before you begin -
+ If you have an issue comment below and I or other helpful community members will help you!
+ If your device is not showing up make sure you have the latest Samsung phone drivers!

This is a guide to an untested yet possible method of rooting the Samsung J330L

The Korean variant of the J3 is relatively easy to install CWM.
You first must install, as with any Samsung device, Odin.
You should be able to download the latest Odin from there web page below
Secondly you need a 2017 firmware set for the j330L both to do the installation and to flash if anything goes wrong.
After installing Odin and extracting the .tar files you will need to put you phone in download mode by pressing and holding the home vol- and power keys
when you get a blue screen hit vol+. You should be in download mode.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Odin. You will need to install the BL AP CP and CSC files. (For the CSC file use the HOME file)
reboot and boot back into download mode
Flash the recovery.tar in the AP slot.
Reboot to recovery by holding down Home power and vol+
----Past this point i have had no success flashing magisk or super SU so I am currently working on flashing a ROM for root(causes boot loop)

CWM is dead.
Your device should be able to rooted using TWRP or use Magisk manager to root the boot image.

True but at the time of posting TWRP causes boot loop. I haven't tried the TWRP version that you posted tho. I will give it a shot.
Ok After much testing i have successfully rooted the damn thing with the twrp installation above and the latest Super User but installing magisk or installing a custom rom now causes bootloop. This damned phone is irritating AF but root does work.... now i need to find out how remove my kernel so i can base a rom off it
