I doubt it the files are for the sgs4g. The process might work if you have the proper files.

hey there, i've been reading through some treads, i downloaded multi file which included all the files i needed to fix my phone. now when i go to ODIN my com doesn't recognize anything plugged in. how do i get odin to recognize my phone? also when i hit the PIT and PDA buttons and click on the approprate files, nothing come up in the block next to PIT or PDA. help me!
make sure the files are full first and 0kb files that were improperly downloaded
and make sure download mode, proper drivers ect...
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i have rooted my phone, next I downloaded the villain rom and put it in a desktop folder, but it is nowhere to be seen when i try and find it after clicking on PDA in Odin. I guess it is not being found as it is not saved as the recognised tar file type? I can see that it is saved as a compressed zipped folder, is this why it does not show up?
If so how do i get it to become the right file type to be seen by odin and the PDA button?!
Sorry, massive noob here and have searched for the answer on here for hours, but no luck!
I think you have downloaded a flashable zip for use with CWM recovery not odin.
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.......
Thanks conan,
Do you know of any guides about flashing in recovery mode?
Im assuming you already have CWM recovery installed....
Transfer the ROM .zip file to your internal SD card. It is advisable to use the memory that is built into the phone and not the external SD that you have inserted.
Reboot to recovery, either via the CWM app if you have it installed or by holding the following button combination while turning the phone on;
Vol UP + Home + Power
Hold these until you see the recovery menu appear.
Then follow the installation instructions from the VR thread.
Hope that helps.
Im getting the nfc service has stopped message non stop when at the play store. It takes me 20 mins to download 1 app. Also im getting the com.android.phone message when trying to get into mobile network which i cant get into and need to before i go overseas on jan 2nd.

Download ODIN here: http://d-h.st/UO0. It sounds like you may have already done this. Extract it to your desktop. I'm assuming you have already installed the Samsung Drivers here:http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I535MBBVZW. Install those if you haven't already. Download this file from the thread: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234355. Extract it to your desktop. Turn off your phone. Open Odin307 folder on your desktop and run Odin3 v3.07.exe. Put the phone into download mode by following second step in the thread: Put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.

ok so i have odin i have the drivers and downloaded the root66 file both the non wipe and wipe versions and both dont allow me to put it in pda, i get a warning msg basically saying where the file is located followed by the name of the file and then special characters that look like boxes. thats where im stuck with this process.
Do you have 7-zip or WinRAR installed? You have to extract the file out of the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z that you downloaded. The file you need to put in the PDA section in odin will be called root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5. That is the wipe version that I would recommend you use. The no-wipe verson file to use in odin in the PDA section is called root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3_nowipe.tar.md5.

Reflash none-wipe root66 is the right approach, you need to download and installed 7zip to your xp. Use 7zip to unzip your root66zip file, then use Odin to flash. Seems like the file is corruppted that's why Odin is not seeing the file name. Once you get this file name issue fixed, you should able to flash the zip.
nfc still works, i got nfc tags everywhere and tested them and are 100% operational.
as for the root file, i downloaded winrar onto xp to unzip the file, there are 10-15 files in it, i dont know which 1 to tack onto pda. what is 7zip? is that an extractor?
7zip is best extractor for. zips...

Double click the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z which should open it in WinRAR. If that doesn't do it open WinRAR and then select that file. There should only be one file inside to extract named: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5. That is the one to use in the PDA section of odin. If WinRAR won't do it (it works fine for me), install 7-zip and extract it with that.
Does anyone know where I can download Note Edge Firmware for the Verzion Note Edge?

For those of you who wants the firmware for any samsung device follow the steps below. I've tested it and it works every time
HOW TO EXTRACT FACTORY FIRMWARE WITH KIES (For Return To stock .tar.md5 For Use In Odin)
This is a guide for extracting the factory firmware for your samsung device using Kies Upgrade.
You may ask , I don't have a firmware upgrade.... (5.) Just follow the guide
1. Make sure your phone is plugged in...
2. Open this folder: OS C: / Users / Your name / AppData / Local / Temp
3. Your user profile’s temporary folder will open. Keep it opened, as we’re going to need to copy a file from this location in a little while.
4. Launch Kies and wait for the phone to connect.
5. You’ll see an offer to upgrade firmware of your phone – click on the firmware upgrade button. If no Upgrade click on Tool's / Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation or Firmware Upgrade setting's.
6. A few windows will pop up with questions about backup, etc – answer the questions, making sure to do a backup, and let it proceed. A window will pop up saying “preparing files”, and then a window will pop up again, showing the download progress.
7 Pay attention to the download progress. When it reaches 100%, your phone will enter “Downloading Mode” and begin flashing. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP AS SOON AS THE FLASH STARTS.
8. During the flash procedure, go to your Temporary folder and refresh its contents. You will see a file called tmpXXXX.tmp (the XXXX’s will be random numbers). This .tmp file is the encrypted ROM archive – ignore it, and look for a new folder created with a similar name (or else sort by date and find the newest folder), and open that instead. Inside you will see a .tar file. Right-click on that file, choose copy and paste it to desktop Don’t try to move the file (using “cut”, or dragging the icon to your desktop) – just copy & paste.
9. Your phone should complete the flash successfully.
You need to copy the firmware file from your temporary folder within the period that your phone is being flashed, as it gets deleted immediately after flashing is complete. I would estimate that you have around 2 – 3 minutes to complete step 8. so you just need to be paying attention when the flash begins.
does this method still work? if so dude u rock!! idk how to say TY enough!!!
With much embarrassment I have to admit I really thought I was smarter than a tablet and a few simple clicks. Apparently not. So now I am here with issues that I am sure someone can answer because your more advanced than a few clicks and a tablet.
I have briefly looked for a resolve to my issue but it is very overwhelming. So if you can just point me in the right direction and hold my hand at the same time I would be very appreciative :good:
Issues:
I originally downloaded Odin, GT-P5113 4.0.4, CM 12.1, CW Unofficial Touch 6.0.3.3 p5100 zip. I launced Odin and followed the steps from a you-tube video. Well upon my surprise CW was not on the tablet so I was at the Tabs generic recovery screen. I choose the option to delete all user data ( lots of no's to select from and one Yes). Well continuing to be a fool I completed this process. When the tablet rebooted I was stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I decided to get to the download screen and install smt810_cf_autoroot.tar. After loading this tar via Odin I became stuck on the Android man downloading screen. Waited a bit and nothing. Then my tablet shut down and came up with "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" with the tablet-yellow ! icon and pc icon.
Another issue is when i download these files Odin will not find them in my file. Why? I usually keep them unzipped as a .rar in order for odin to show them so I can select PDA and attempt to install them.
Is there a way to still upgrade the Android system and fix this Firmware error at the same time?
Basically I am so new to this I need specific directions on resolving my issue. So if anyone has a moment please help me out here. I appreciate your time and knowledge
And I can use Odin to install to the tablet. If that helps Just not in the download screen on the tablet.

first you should download the stock firmware of your device, if it's p5113 then search and download the same firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 check this thread if it's there, if it's not please google it, if already have it, ignore..
Once you have it, you should get the firmware md5 file (by unzipping the rar.) Odin will take tar file or md5 file. put it in Odin AP/PDA check the thread for all the details on how to flash correctly.
you have to get into download mode by pressing the power and volume up/right to do that once the firmware is successfully flashed and your tab starts running again. first get this part done.
Always use files that are meant only for your device. if your tab say p5113. then make sure the file you are flashing states it is meant for p5113 and not p5100. (maybe not in the rooting case cause it's same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 here for all)
At some places you will find files marked as p51xx. those files are generally safe too and are meant for the p51xx tab series but that is later stage.
I appreciate the feedback and have found I had tried to flash my tablet with GT-P5110 software when i actually have a GT-P5113TS. I have found the firmware but my issue is when I download anything and extract it with using rar. I never get a .tar file or anything Odin can not recognize to select PDA and use.. What would cause that? How do I fix this?
Thank You

Try winrar or 7zip, it should extract, you need md5 or tar format in pda section. If not what error are you getting? There must be some file when you open the archive?
Basically when I download the zip file I want and then extract it to a specific folder. All I after unzipping is File folders with other file folders inside,Img, File, PROP, and SH. I never extract anything that is a Tar file or anything Odin can recognize when on PDA within Odin. Plus a lot of times I click on a link for a download off this site and it sends me to some watch-movies website. Not a actual download. Or I am just missing it.

Maybe it's a bad link to your stock file then. Perhaps someone can give proper file link to the stock firmware. Inside the zip it's basically a md5 file for firmware to flash. Sadly I don't have a proper yoi will have to find of the net.
