Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S with a crappy usb drive, so my only option is to use the SD-card and an app to upgrade the phone (now under Android Eclair 2.1)
I cleaned up the phone (full reset and sd card format)
I rooted my sgs with update.zip on the sd card and the volume up - home - power
Then bought the app Mobile Odin Pro 2.40 via google play.
at the start of the app, my su app asks to grant root privilege.
The app then stops booting and says : "Could not locate Mobile ODIN package."
The only option available is "ok" which close the app
I have no Idea what to do to make the app work.
Thanks in advance for your help
BUMP
I have the same exact thing going on.
Did you try the thread for Mobile Odin

I have a Galaxy Grand but the chinese version.
The model is SCH-i879.
The problem i have is that the android in this phone does not allow me to install any of the google apps (maps, gmail, play etc).
I haven't been able to install CWM with odin. The installation seems succesfull (i'm installing the CWM for the Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-i9082). I cant boot into recovery when i flash the CWM.
I have the original Stock image that i got from Samsung Mobile.com, but other than that, i have not been able to install google apps, root the phone or install CWM to install Cyanogen or other custom rom.
Does anybody know what could i do to at least root the phone? i was able to install ROM Manager, but without any root privilages it is useless...
Help me Please!!

I want to install coustom rom on Samsung Galaxy Grand(Chineese Version)...Pless Help....
hello.
can u tell us how you managed to install gapps?
i downloaded the zip from goo.im and copied it to the root of the phone, rebooted and tried to install from recovery mode 3e but it says that it doesn't find the sdcard.
after that i thought that if i put an external sdcard maybe it will work. still nothing. the i tried with adb but i get an error about the signature of the zip.
the only way i see that i will be successful is by installing the zip from cwm.
is there something wrong with my phone that it can't see the internal sdcard or is it normal? when the phone is running i can see it without a problem. just in recovery mode i get the error

this is the chinese version sch-i879. which cwm should i try?
while installing custom roms....i have to download clockworkmod and put it in sd card...but from where will i get the setup.have installed cwm from market while running recovery it is showing that your device is not supported.dont know what to do
model-samsung galaxy y duos-gt-s6102
android ver 2..3.6
clockworkmod is not an app at all - it is a kind of recovery-system like the BIOS on your PC. There are apps to ACCESS cwm. Sometimes it comes with a FW-Rom, sometimes you have to install it seperately via adb. The cwm has to be adjusted to your ROM there is no "universal" cwm.
For more info about CWM, see here. :good:
Well, you can try to change your recovery to CWM via ROM Manager (hope it support for device), you can get it free from Play Store.
Or you can try using TWRP Manager (it also free app on Play Store), but I can't make sure, it will work on your device or not. Just have a try

Instructions can be found in the Galaxy Y Forum: Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development
Guide can be found here: [ROOT][UNROOT][CWM] Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 [GUIDE]
Phone must first be rooted. Then the Recovery Partition must be replaced with ClockWorkMod_Recovery. The CWM ROM Application you downloaded from the Google Play is only a Graphics User Interface (GUI) that can be used to reboot the phone into Recovery Mode and pass instructions to tell the recovery program what to do.

Which Device U R Using ??
Okay this has been bugging me out for a week now, I can't seem to download the Chiltern Railway app on to my Vodafone Smart 858, (Huawei U8160) it says when I try to download it it just says my device is not compatible ???
I was running The smart Lucky rom with no problems and I used to have the app on my phone, but my mate thought it would be okay to find a better rom for the phone, he didn't back up any of my apps or files and just wiped the phone, he couldn't get any of the roms to work probably, So I went back to the smart lucky rom, and proceded to reinstall my apps from Google play,
I am now using the Custom Rom LegDroid CM7 U8160 which works really well, and says the os is now 2.3.7,
So I don't understand why I can't download this Chiltern railway App, it even says the minimum system needed is 2.1
Does anyone have any idea to why I can't download the App?
What if I just copied the apk file from a friends phone, would I be able to install the app then?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Here's a reference for installing apps with apk files:
