Samsung made Odin, probably for testing firmwares for their phones and make sure there are no bugs...

And did not steal from Apple right? Because they would've sued odin already you know.

muhhaaaahaaaaa,awesome,but odin is officiel from samsung and not for flashing new beta or so.normaly its for the phoneshops/repairshops.so can a phone with software fail,thats saves money because it can direct on repairshop/market...with a new flash go back to life.and the owner is happy.so its not necessary to sending its to samsung,than you have to wait 2-4 weeks then send back to Repairshop,many millions of peoples using samsung,thats a lot of shipping costs and for the repairman by samsung too for his hard work and this for 3minutes flash.believe i have ask in chat with german servicecenter.greeeeeetz
I figured that it had to been an official Samsung software. It minds me of the Motorola software that got leaked years back. I can't remember the name of it. I used to flip with nextel i930 (classic my 1st smart phone ever. I wish that made smart phone clam style again) with it.

Thanks everyone. I generally assumed it was official Samsung software but it makes sense if it gets leaked from repair shops and such. Its just interesting that we seem to get pretty frequent updates when new phones/roms come out. This thread had me laughing though.
Anyone know the first version that was leaked? I only started to use it with the OG Epic.

There is a connection to the mythology of Odin and the name. Not sure how it all breaks down, but Heimdal is the Mac version of Odin. Heimdal is the gate keeper of Asgard.

To me, it makes sense that Samsung made this but I dont think it's for Samsung. I think Samsung developed it for repair shops and such as someone else suggested. I agree Samsung devs shouldn't need a straight forward gui. Butttt then again, this is why I asked and it seems that odin magically showed up and we have just been getting updates ever since. If we dont know where the origin, maybe the source of updates might get us somewhere.

Pretty sure that's not official, from Samsung. Still though, I'd take a custom ROM over the official Samsung version any day.
No one ever said it was an official ROM from samsung, original post said "actual ICS rom that was developed for the Samsung Vibrant". Key word being Developed
Its pretty sweet actually. But the phone I flashed it on was just a friends wifi only play phone (he uses a sgs2) so I couldn't say how it works for everday use.
I'm new to this phone. I just came from a iPhone and galaxy nexus before that the rezound and so on...
This phone reminds me of the nexus s with t.w.
Specs wise. So idk about making roms but I do know our phone is capable of it.
So why hasn't it happened? My Lil brother in laws boost galaxy prevail I put ics on it. Can anybody give
Me insight on this??

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
KIES is an update utility (also let's you backup I think, not sure about that, never used it lol) for Samsung devices. It's used to manually install updates as opposed to OTA updates that happen on your device
Broken beyond repair
Kies is essentially Samsungs version of Itunes... It sync's music, videos and pictures, backs up your info to the PC (restores also) and updates, if available, your Samsung device to the latest firmware...
Unlike Itunes, you don't need to transfer files through Kies or update either. It isn't needed except to install the usb drivers, though these can be found here on XDA....

And FYI. That is totally the opposite of "what this forum is about". It wasnt created so lazy people can be spoon fed information.

You are dead on my friend! :good:
I have been an AT&T customer for over 8 years now and with a few exceptions, most ALL CS agents are script readers and "up-sellers" ( keep trying to sell me their Uverse crap)......oh well, it still beats talking to someone in India though.
Actuallly I think it (AT&T support) is getting a little better. In my quest for MF3 I 'spoke' to three. The chat-bot rep was an id10t. Call #2, Luis tried to be helpful, but couldn't figure out how to get it to me (but stay tuned). Call #3 Annie spent over 30m with me tried several different paths and consulted with a upper level group and found that the upgrade 'send OTA' message function was locked - she could see the button but it was greyed out, probablly because they were trying to control the rate of users hitting their server for the 359MB download.
2 days later I answered the fourth call from AT&T support (i was in meetings during the day) and (figuring it was just the stupid 'how did we do survey' I wasn't THAT motivated) - knock me over with a feather - Luis was calling me back, he had continued to research the issue, reached the right people and wanted to confirm it was a good time to push the OTA message. He had me turn OFF WiFi, had the super level tech push the message and told me to turn WiFi back on when I had a good connection.
Poof. Update spilled down and worked.
That's right:
AT&T support tech called me back - on THEIR OWN initiative
AT&T support tech had the solution to my problem
AT&T support tech's solution was correct
It felt so 1960s...
So I think the traditional call center rule applies: keep calling until you get the answer you like.

You're right about At&t being dumb they sold me my gs4 for 50$ all b/c the rep was reading an old note that said any android phone earlier upgrade for 50$ turns out that he was wrong about the early upgrade and 50$ but b/c he put that on the notes the next rep I spoke to said they had to give it to me for that. My gain their lost lol well kinda

Nothing wrong with getting some of your own money back once in a while :good:
Sorry if I'm confused, but what were you calling AT&T about the MF3 update for? Can you not get the OTA or something?

You don't want it just yet. The app to SD only works on a few apps it didn't really free up any room. You should stay on mdl and root it check out mint jelly I used it before I updated and I regret that move.

I just transferred all my apps to the SD this morning... Every single game/app that ive downloaded from the playstore is on my external SD card now so im not sure what you mean by only a "few" apps.
BTW, I coudnt get the OTA MF3 update either so I was able to find a zip file from someone on XDA and I flashed it using recovery...

Was the zip file the official mf3? Where did you get it from?
God promised man he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round.

Here is a link to the Official MF3 update zip file. I uploaded the file to my dropbox account. I received this from another member who downloaded it on his phone through the ATT update software and copied it onto his PC to use later. I have been using it for several weeks have not any issues, I've recently rooted it with the MF3 root exploit as well.
Please thank me for the help if this filed you at all...
