Mobile odin support i9500?...can someone confirm this?..tq
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

mobile odin is not yet supported for 9500, but you can simply flash either modem or any other files via flashify on both 9500/9505

hmm
EDIT.. yeah I think I have that wrong, apologies OP..

Hello yes mobile odin pro will work but it is easier to flash through recovery on the i9500 follow link to modems currently i9500 is the only version that can flash modems in recovery

I wasn't sure if aptoide was a pirate app store or not. one thing I've read says it's used by developers, other things say get paid apps for free.. if it's the later, this wasn't the best place to put that link.

Do note that if your phone has the nasty habit of sometimes not booting up when charger is plugged in, it will fail and you'll have to flash a new stock firmware with odin.
This happened to me yesterday.. Very nasty.. Recovery wouldn't boot neither except for download mode.

That's the problem. It broke my recovery. It couldn't boot anything up except for download mode.

everroot ?
while I'm here, was wondering if everroot works with all the things Samsung has done to make rooting more problematic.. it's gonna be a while before I flash a stock fw to find out for myself and I don't have a laptop to use on a regular basis..

I don't know for sure but a while back, I did come across several threads/posts about this on other Samsung devices, so I'm inclined to believe that yes, flashing official Roms of other countries/regions does void your warranty. You'd have to go back to stock via KIES

I guess so, mate. Besides the bin counter, not sure if they'd be able to know the previous Roms you've flashed. Or if they'd be so determined to deny a customer's warranty lol

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

1. yes with LGMDP or KDZ, but you need the stock rom that can be found in general LG P500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618
2 read here, it was discussed before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830232
the answers are all in this forum, just try to search, read all sticky and FAQ threads and you should find all answers, but if you want to someone confirm you this, you can make a new thread like this just to be sure, cheers
This is all alittle bit complicated coming from the world of Samsung, is it possible to create a nandroid backup of froyo? is KDZ the equivilant of Odin?

ROM manager has resulted in 100s of bricks (maybe more)
Don't use ROM manager on LGp500
You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility

Remove battery & plug in usb cord to computer. While holding both*[Volume Down/Up]*buttons, drop in battery.

you have to run odin as administrator to get your flash done. right click on odin executable file, choose run as administrator and youre done.
then choose the files you wanna flash and and click start

I prefer ODIN, but if it's not working for you do as magnetboard said, try a Heimdall all in one.

[Q] How to root?

Just got my Sprint s5 recently and I wanted to root it but its on 4.4.4 already. I was looking in the rooting thread and it says to flash an old kernel with odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737724&page=15) ( scroll to bottom). My question is, how do I use odin to flash it? I'm just not too familiar with Odin and I don't want to mess my phone up...
Thanks.

Install odin to your pc along with the kernel. Put your phone in download mode, start Odin, uncheck auto reboot, click pda, find the kernel, start it, run it, when it's done, you should see green light. Reboot, profit you can root from there. Good luck!

I tried this but the zip file for the kernel doesn't have any mda5 file in it, so I can't put it in the pda slot. What should I do?

Those .zip files are intended to be flashed in custom recovery. What you need are the .tar.md5 kernels. Here is a link to all the kernels. You are probably looking for this one.

Here are the odin flashable kernels so you can use towelroot.
Thanks. Which one should I download the NE5 or the NK4?

NK4 is the update. Towelroot won't work on it, and if you have the update, you already have that. You need to flash NE5.

Here are the steps:
1. Download towelroot from towelroot.com and install but don't run it.
2. Odin the NE5 kernel to your phone and reboot. Your phone will run slow and you will have to close and cancel a lot of error messages because of the wrong kernel installed.
3. Run towelroot and click on make it rain. When completed reboot in to download mode.
4. Now odin the NK4 kernel and reboot.
5. Install chainfires SuperSU from the play store, run it, select normal way for the binary install, select yes when it asks to disable knox. Reboot and enjoy your rooted NK4 phone.
If you want hotspot, download Galaxy Tools from the play store and select enable native hotspot.
My phone is bone stock, if i use odin to flash the 4.4.2 kernel, will it trip knox?

No, it will not trip Knox. The only way to trip Knox is if you install a custom recovery.

Are you sure about that man? If my memory serves me correctly, if you flash anything using Odin you trip Knox....

I am 100% sure, the only way to trip knox is to install a custom recovery. That is why cf autoroot trips knox, it temporarily installs a custom recovery to gain root.
