Odin is not installed. Firmware via Odin

In spite of high level reliability of Android devices produced by one of the leaders in the global smartphone market and tablet computers – Samsung- users are quite often puzzled by the possibility or necessity of device firmware. For Android devices manufactured by Samsung the best solution when manipulating software and restoring, the program appears.

It doesn't matter for what purpose the procedure for flashing a Samsung Android device is carried out. Having resorted to using the powerful and functional Odin software, it turns out that working with a smartphone or tablet is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Let's figure it out step by step with the installation procedure different types firmware and their components.

Important! Odin app at wrong actions user can damage the device! All actions in the program are carried out by the user at his own peril and risk. The site administration and the author of the article are not responsible for the possible negative consequences of following the instructions below!

Drivers will need to be installed in order for Odin to communicate with the device. Fortunately, Samsung has taken care of its users and the installation process usually doesn't cause any problems. The only inconvenience is the fact that the drivers are included with the Samsung branded software for maintenance. mobile devices- Kies (for older models) or Smart Switch (for newer models). It should be noted that when flashing through Odin with Kies installed simultaneously in the system, various failures and critical errors... Therefore, after installing the drivers, the Kies must be uninstalled.

Step 2: Put the device into download mode

Odin can only interact with a Samsung device if the latter is in a special Download mode.

Step 3: Firmware

Using the Odin program, installation of single and multi-file firmware (service), as well as individual software components is available.

Installing single-file firmware

1. Download the ODIN program and firmware. We unpack everything in separate folder on disk C.



Necessarily! If installed, remove Samsung kies! We follow the path: "Control Panel" — "Programs and Features" — "Delete".



2. Run Odin as Administrator. The program does not require installation, so to run it you need right click mouse click on the file Odin3.exe in the folder containing the application. Then, in the menu that opens, select the item "Run as Administrator".



3. We charge the battery of the device at least 60%, put it into the mode "Download" and connect to the USB port located on the back of the PC, i.e. directly to motherboard... When connected, Odin must identify the device, as evidenced by the filling in blue fields "ID: COM", displaying the port number in the same field, as well as the inscription "Added !!" in the log field (tab "Log").



4. To add an image of a single-file firmware to Odin, press the button "AP"(in versions One up to 3.09 - the button "PDA")



5. We show the program the path to the file.



6. After pressing the button "Open" in the Explorer window, Odin will start to check the MD5 amount of the proposed file. Upon completion of the hash-sum check, the name of the image file is displayed in the field "AP (PDA)"... Go to the tab "Options".



7. When using single-file firmware in the tab "Options" all checkboxes must be unchecked except for F. Reset Time " and "Auto Reboot".



8. Having defined required parameters, press the button "Start".



9. The process of writing information to the memory sections of the device will begin, accompanied by the display of the names of the recorded sections of the device memory in the upper right corner of the window and filling in the progress bar located above the field "ID: COM"... Also, in the process, the log field is filled with inscriptions about the procedures taking place.



10. Upon completion of the process, the inscription is displayed in the square in the upper left corner of the program on a green background "PASS"... This indicates the successful completion of the firmware. You can disconnect the device from the USB port of the computer and start it by long pressing the power button. When installing a single-file firmware, user data, unless it is explicitly indicated in the Odin settings, in most cases is not affected.

Installing multi-file (service) firmware

When restoring a Samsung device after serious failures, installing modified software and in some other cases, so-called multi-file firmware will be required. In reality, this is a service solution, but the described method is widely used by ordinary users.

A multi-file firmware is called because it is a collection of several image files, and, in some cases, a PIT file.

Firmware with PIT file

The PIT file and its addition to ODIN are the tools used to repartition the device memory into sections. This method carrying out the process of restoring the device can be used in conjunction with both single-file and multi-file firmware.

The use of a PIT file for flashing is permissible only in extreme cases, for example, if there are serious problems with the device's performance.

Installing individual software components

In addition to installing the entire firmware, Odin makes it possible to write individual components to the device software platform- kernel, modem, recovery, etc.

For example, consider the installation custom recovery via ODIN.

It should be noted that the above methods of working with Odin are applicable for most Samsung devices. At the same time, claiming the role is absolutely universal instructions they cannot, due to the presence of a wide variety of firmware, a large lineup devices and small differences in the list of options used in specific applications.

The program is designed for flashing Samsung devices on Android base... It is quite easy to flash a Samsung smartphone or tablet, but if you do not know a few elementary rules, the phone can be damaged. Below we will tell you how to reflash Samsung Odin correctly.

To use Odin, no special skills are required; even not very sophisticated users can use the program.
All available on this moment Odin versions:,. The most stable version is v1.85.

Samsung Odin firmware rules

The main thing: Make sure that before flashing your Samsung is charged and in no case turns off during the flashing process. Do not disconnect the USB cable before the firmware is finished. Use, preferably, only original and undamaged USB cable that you received with your device. The path on the computer to the firmware to be installed should not contain Russian letters (C: \ samsung - correct, C: \ New folder - no).

Various utilities are used to flash Android devices. For example, all devices with Mediatek chips are sewn through the FlashTools utility. As for smartphones and tablets made by Samsung, then main program for their firmware and rooting is. Sometimes a situation may arise when everything is done according to the instructions, but Odin gives some kind of error. We will explain the meaning of these errors, as well as the main ways to solve them.

If you see such an error, then you need to enable "USB debugging" and "OEM unlocking" in the settings, and also disable "Remote control".

Today there will be a speech about firmware Samsung phone using the example of the Galaxy S i9003 model. For correct operation, it is necessary that the drivers for the phone have been installed. If you already have the Kies program, then most likely everything you need to already have. I really do not advise flashing through Kies, because it often freezes in half, or simply does not see the smartphone, like mine. Samsung took care of us and released an additional program called the name of the mythical god Odin. At the time of this writing, the version of the program is 1.83. Install additional drivers(you can download everything below), which will help the program to work with the phone in the firmware mode.

I warn you, I am not responsible for all the manipulations with the phone that you do after reading this article. In this way, I stitched several times without problems and errors. But if flashing the phone does not help with your problems, in no case do not tell about it in service center.

There are two types of firmware: 1 file and 5 file. They differ from each other in that 1 file updates the current firmware without affecting your saved information, while the 5 file erases all the contents of the phone, except external card memory.

Flashing process with 1 file:
1. The phone must be turned off! We connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable.
2. Run the Odin program.
3. Make sure that the phone is connected, the picture marked on the top left should be yellow and the message box says "added"

4. Click on the PDA button on the right and select the previously downloaded firmware file, if it is in the archive, unpack it (the extension must be.md5, .tar or smd).
5. Enter it into the firmware state by holding down the volume down + home button + power button in sequence, and hold it until the Android picture with a shovel appears.
6. If everything is in order, press the start button in the ODIN program.
7. The firmware lasts about 5 minutes and upon completion, in the program in the top window the PASS message should appear! The device reboots itself and only when full load, you can disconnect the cable.

Firmware process with 5 files:
1. We carry out all the operations as in the previous description up to the 3rd step.
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware files into a separate folder.
3. Add files to the appropriate windows:
PIT - latona_20110114.pit(with the extension pit)
PDA - I9003XXKC1-REV08-PDA-low-CL964212.tar.md5(name must contain PDA or CODE)
PHONE - MODEM_I9003XXKC1_REV_00_CL964949.tar.md5(the file contains the word MODEM)
CSC - CSC - GT-I9003-CSC-SERKC1.tar.md5(in the name of the CSC file)
BOOTLOADER - APBOOT_I9003XXKPU_CL984714_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5(the file name contains APBOOT)
These files may be completely different in content, but the indicated signs are required.
4. Check the Re-partition checkbox
5. Press start and wait for the PASS message and a successful reboot.

Update: A new version Odin 3.09 suitable for Windows 8. Also, if the phone is not detected on the eight, update Samsung Kies, it has built-in fresh drivers, even for 64 bit systems.

Odin will become very useful tool which will allow product owners to trade Samsung brands flash your devices. The following will be given on the firmware via Odin. It is worth noting that the program was developed by professionals, so you don't have to worry about the quality of the final result. Firmware through Odin is very simple and does not require deep knowledge from users in various aspects of Android devices.

Similar to Odin

The application was developed for Windows OS. After downloading the program, you get the opportunity to flash your Samsung phone or tablet. Once the Koreans used the utility only as professional software by introducing updates to their devices. Fortunately, its files were leaked to the Internet, which allowed every Samsung fan to use it. You can download the application on many fan sites dedicated to Korean manufacturer or Android devices in general. have long ceased to be dangerous for your devices. However, not all users dare to do so drastic measures, getting rid of runoff and leaving for free swimming pirate programs... It should be noted that the Samsung firmware via Odin will open up new capabilities of your device that are not available in stock solutions.

This raises a dilemma, because many people establish some kind of identity that looks like this: flashing = high risk = loss of warranty for the device. But all these are just myths based on long-standing stereotypes. Today, there is simply an insane number of Samsung device owners in the world, so a measure was taken to create software that would be suitable only for these devices and only in quality form... It was Odin that became such an application, having "arrived" from the world of Scandinavian mythology. And here you can be 100% sure that you will definitely not harm your phone or tablet by using this program.

Program versions

In order for the firmware through Odin to be successful, there are a number of different versions of the program, each of which is designed for a particular device from Samsung. The main file extensions are the following: .bin, .tar and.md5. By the way, the most stable versions are 1.85, 3.07 and 3.10.6. Next, we will indicate how the Samsung firmware should go through Odin, and also talk about the main options of the program.

Program options

So that you do not "get lost" in the Odin program, we will short excursion by main options:

• Auto Reboot - if checked this option, your device will automatically reboot after successful completion of the firmware;
• Re-Partition - allows you to redistribute the file system according to factory presets (RFS);
• F. Reset Time - the function allows you to reset the counter of previous firmware;
• PIT - if the Re-Partition function was checked in the second, you will need to specify the path to the .pit file, which will make it possible to redistribute file system apparatus;
• CSC - designed to open a file that contains data specific to certain states and operators;
• PDA - this option is required to select the required firmware files;
• Phone - allows you to select the modem file that is needed for the firmware process.

You need to be extremely careful when using the Odin program. This is especially true for the Re-Partition function, because if you do not have a .pit file, then it is better not to check the box next to this option. Finally, it's worth remembering that the software is only intended for Samsung devices. Flashing other brands of phones via Odin can lead to unpleasant consequences. Alternatively, you can use FlashTools or KDZ Updater.

Preparing for the firmware process

In order for Samsung firmware through Odin to be successful, you need to perform several preparatory phases... The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

1. First of all, you need to download and install the USB drivers for your device. If you wish, you can use Samsung Kies, during the installation of which the drivers will be installed automatically.
2. Then you need to make sure that there are backups on the device important files that will be lost after flashing. It is advisable to create backups on an external memory card or computer.
3. Next, we charge the phone / tablet to 100% (or at least 80%), so that the power does not disappear during the firmware process.
4. In the settings, enable the option “ USB debugging", Which is available in the" For Developers "section. We make sure that Samsung app Keis is not running. Otherwise, disable it through the "Device Manager".

It should be noted that when installing official firmware via Odin, the chance of damaging the device is extremely low. Of course, if you follow all the instructions. And nevertheless, all actions are performed at your own peril and risk, so if you are not sure of the final result, it is better to take your device to a service center. Next, let's move on to the firmware process.

Flashing process

As an example, we will describe how the Samsung Galaxy firmware should be flashed via Odin. The algorithm is as follows:

1. First of all, download official firmware for your device to your computer.
2. Next, turn on the download mode on the device. As a rule, in devices from Samsung it is started by pressing the following key combination: Power (Turn on / off the device) + Volume Down (volume down key). Then we confirm the action by pressing the Volume Up button (increase the volume). Be sure to press the keys at the same time.
3. Next, run the Odin program on the PC and make sure that there are check marks opposite the Auto Reboot and Reset Time options. This is extremely important.
4. We connect a phone or tablet to a PC using a USB cable. After detecting your device, the program will change the color of one of the ID: COM windows.
5. Next, press the PDA button located in the Odin program interface and select the .tar or.md5 file.
6. Click on START, after which the firmware process starts. It is strictly forbidden to disconnect your device from the PC during installation.
7. As soon as your device successfully passes the firmware process, it will automatic reboot... At this stage, you can remove the cable from the PC and start using the device. As you can see, everything is very simple.

This instruction for flashing through Odin is the most common. If you stick to all the points, you will be successful!

Create Root Access to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Phones

If you need to open the "superuser" mode, then Odin and SF-Autoroot programs can help. So, we follow the following algorithm of actions:

1. Download SF-Autoroot for certain model phone, which can be found in the settings menu item "About phone". The files themselves can be easily found on the Internet. If you cannot find a file for a particular model, it is better to leave everything in stock mode, because other actions can harm the device.
2. Download Odin and install USB drivers for your phone.
3. Turn off Galaxy Note 2 and put it into download mode. It turns on by simultaneous pressing 3 buttons: Volume Down + Home + Power. Then, to confirm the actions, press Volume Up and connect the device to the PC.
4. In Odin, click on the PDA button, where we select the required file with the tar.md5 extension. After that, put a checkmark next to the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options. Make sure that no other functions are checked.
5. Click "Start" and wait for the end of the installation.

As you can see, firmware via Odin is not the only advantage of this program. If you do everything wisely and according to the instructions, the application will be an excellent help for owners of Samsung devices.

The program is designed for flashing Android devices. Flash a smartphone or Samsung tablet quite simply, but if you do not know a few basic rules, the phone can be damaged. Below we will tell you how to reflash Samsung Odin correctly.

To use Odin, no special skills are required; even not very sophisticated users can use the program.
All currently available Odin versions:,. The most stable version is v1.85.

then the firmware file is broken, not fully downloaded. Download again, if it doesn't help - remove the md5 extension from the file and try again.

If you need to flash Samsung only partially, for example, you want to flash a modem, then insert the modem firmware file into the Phone field. If you want to flash the kernel or, then specify the file in the PDA field.

Remember that you are acting at your own risk!

Today we will talk about the firmware of a Samsung phone using the example of the Galaxy S i9003 model. For correct work it is necessary that the drivers for the phone have been installed. If you already have the Kies program, then most likely everything you need to already have. I really do not advise flashing through Kies, because it often freezes in half, or simply does not see the smartphone, like mine. Samsung took care of us and released additional program, which is called by the name of the mythical god Odin. At the time of this writing, the version of the program is 1.83. Install additional drivers (you can download everything below) that will help the program work with the phone in firmware mode.

I warn you, I am not responsible for all the manipulations with the phone that you do after reading this article. In this way, I stitched several times without problems and errors. But if flashing the phone does not help with your problems, in no case tell the service center about it.

There are two types of firmware: 1 file and 5 file. They differ from each other in that 1 file updates the current firmware without affecting your saved information, while 5 files overwrite all the contents of the phone, except for the external memory card.

Flashing process with 1 file:
1. The phone must be turned off! We connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable.
2. Run the Odin program.
3. Make sure that the phone is connected, in the picture marked on the top left should be yellow, and in the message window it says "added"

4. Click on the PDA button on the right and select the previously downloaded firmware file, if it is in the archive, unpack it (the extension must be.md5, .tar or smd).
5. Enter it into the firmware state by holding down the volume down + home button + power button in sequence, and hold it until the Android picture with a shovel appears.
6. If everything is in order, press the start button in the ODIN program.
7. The firmware will last for about 5 minutes and upon completion, the message PASS! Should appear in the program in the uppermost window! The device will reboot itself and only when fully loaded, you can disconnect the cable.

Firmware process with 5 files:
1. We carry out all the operations as in the previous description up to the 3rd step.
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware files into a separate folder.
3. Add files to the appropriate windows:
PIT - latona_20110114.pit(with the extension pit)
PDA - I9003XXKC1-REV08-PDA-low-CL964212.tar.md5(name must contain PDA or CODE)
PHONE - MODEM_I9003XXKC1_REV_00_CL964949.tar.md5(the file contains the word MODEM)
CSC - CSC - GT-I9003-CSC-SERKC1.tar.md5(in the name of the CSC file)
BOOTLOADER - APBOOT_I9003XXKPU_CL984714_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5(the file name contains APBOOT)
These files may be completely different in content, but the indicated signs are required.
4. Check the Re-partition checkbox
5. Press start and wait for the PASS message and a successful reboot.

Various utilities are used to flash Android devices. For example, all devices with Mediatek chips are sewn through the FlashTools utility. As for smartphones and tablets made by Samsung, the main program for flashing and rooting them is. Sometimes a situation may arise when everything is done according to the instructions, but Odin gives some kind of error. We will explain the meaning of these errors, as well as the main ways to solve them.

These problems can occur if you are trying to flash damaged firmware. In this case, try downloading the firmware again. Also make sure you are using the exact firmware for your smartphone / tablet version. Try looking for the firmware on another site. If you are trying to switch from custom firmware to official firmware, then you first need to go into recovery and make wipe data and wipe system.
