Hi everyone, this is my little Guide how to flash a modem (baseband) or a bootloader, or both together in Odin. Reading many threads in the last weeks, has showed me there are many people who have problems with flashing via Odin. I hope this thread will help and result in a successful flash for you guys and girls.:fingers-crossed:
First of all, i want to say, i'm using Odin 3.09 for flashing.:good:
You can get it from here:
<MODERATOR EDIT - MALWARE LINK REMOVED>
I explain how to flash a modem and a bootloader together at the same time. You can follow the steps also for only one of both.
Everything you are doing with your phone is on your own risk. I am not responsible for anything.
So let's start with the flash:
You have downloaded your modem (let's say NB9....tar.md5) and your bootloader? OK, so
1. rightclick on Odin and start it as administrator.
2. Now open the windows taskmaster. End all "Kies" processes.
3. In Odin untick "Auto reboot"
4. For the bootloader select BL and browse to your bootloader file.
5. For the modem select CP and browse to your modem file.
The next step is VERY IMPORTANT
6. Power off your phone
7. Start your phone into download mode by holding Vol down, and power button.
IMPORTANT: DON'T REBOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM YOUR POWER MENU! ALWAYS USE THE THREE BUTTON COMBO!
8. Once your phone is in download mode, connect it to your PC. (Best results always with your original Samsung USB cable)
Odin should say "Added" now.
9. Press the Start button in Odin and let it do it's magic.:cyclops:
wait about 2 - 5 minutes.
10. When Odin shows "PASS" you can unplug your phone.
IMPORTANT: WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE "PASS" DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE BEFORE!
11. When you have unplugged your phone, it is still in download mode. Just hold the power button about 8 seconds until your phone reboots.
DONE
Go to Settings/my device/about phone. There you will see your new baseband.:good:
To check if the bootloader was flashed correct you need a terminal emulator.
type: su (press enter)
Type: getprop ro.bootloader (press enter)
The result shows wich bootloader you have.
THANKS TO: @Wuby986 who teached me many many things.
Well done!! And if i helped somehow i am really happy mate !!!!

Phone is stuck on att white world phone logo and is not going to download mode by holding the volume buttons and power, and or volume down and power.
When i hold the buttons and plug it in and all i see is a damn battery that goes on then off. Odin is open and does seem change.
All this just to get some bloatware and fix a gps.
Try the third option which is the only one works for me:
1. Take battery out and put back
2. Hold both Vol buttons. Don't touch the power button.
3. Plug in the USB cable to your PC. Don't touch the power button.
Your phone should boot into download mode right away. Remember, don't ever touch the power button.
WOW
wow dude perfect you saved me from freaking out! hah SOLVED thanks a million bad power button!
You're welcome. There is now even another hardware hack that can force the phone into download mode even if none of the buttons work. It is posted in i9000 forum.

Entering Download Mode but odin not working
I can get in to download mode but when I open odin3 there is nothing in the text boxes and when I press start it just says all threads completed 0/0 failed. And does the same thing for master clear.
When I turn the phone on with SIM in and hold the up/down + power it enters the clockwork stuff and I have tried the restore default option and recovery option. I was hoping download mode would help but didn't.
If anybody can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Here is the procedure you need to follow:
1. Install the proper driver so that ODIN can see your phone when plugged in. Drivers are listed in the thread where you download ODIN.
2. Open ODIN with phone not attached. Select the firmware file (*.rar) you want to flash in PDA field.
3. Power off the phone and enter into download mode and connect the phone to PC.
4. Wait for the driver to install and your phone recognized. It will show up in one of the boxes in ODIN.
5. Once your phone is recognized, press Start button on ODIN to start the flash process.
6. Leave the PC and phone alone for a few minutes and pray (that your phone didn't get bricked in the process).
Ok I got it to recognize but I don't know what (*.rar) I am supposed to flash. Do i just put the cognition folder in it or what.
Thanks for the reply
I want to flash cognition but when i press pdf on odin3 it doesn't see it...any ideas?
Cog does not use Odin. Just get clockwork recovery and install it. Then boot into recovery and flash cog. Go to stickies in dev section, there are guides.
I try to select cognition.rar but says it needs a .tar file. What do I do to make it work?
Cog does not install with Odin unless dg added that. You need to unrar it. Download winrar and extract it, see what's inside.

This guide lays it out pretty well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Personally, here's what I use to do. Go to the Dev section and search for ClockworkMod Recovery. Search that thread for the update.zip. I'm sure it's in there. Put the update.zip on your internal storage, ie, when you plug phone into pc with USB the thing you mount and store file on, not an added SD card.
Boot into stock recovery. Choose reinstall packages, it reboots. Choose reinstall packages again, now your in Clockwork. Choose > install zip from sdcard > choose zip file > then navigate to Cognition (assuming you've put that on your internal storage also) and select it. It flashes, choose reboot. Bam! You're running Cognition.

You two need to read more before risking your phone. I sense you soon to have two very expensive bricks on your hand.
UPDATED 04/08/11 - Thanks for the comments to make this process less confusing
I have seen a lot of questions about how to use Odin to flash your SGS4G. I am a noob as well and had to search throughout the forums to get the answers so here it is, plain and simple:
1. Download the Stock + Root rom (.tar file) posted by Krylon360 (kudos) HERE, or a rom from anyone else that has one being built for the SGS4G (use caution, do not attempt to flash a rom for a different device!)
2. Install the SGS usb driver 32-bit or 64-bit
3. Download Odin 1.7 HERE and RUN IT FIRST (before you plug in your phone in step 5 - this allows Odin to find your phone)
4. Remove your memory and sim card (I did this because Odin failed to flash my phone when they were present)
5. Put your SGS4G into Download mode (Hold volume up + volume down then plug in your usb cable running from the compy) You should see a big triangle symbol
6. Wait for your computer to install all drivers (takes a minute)
7. In Odin click the PDA button and select the rom (.tar file)
8. Make certain that Re-Partition is not checked
9. Click the start button and let it do its magic (takes a couple minutes)
10. After it completes your phone will reboot into recovery mode
11. Select reboot system now with the power button (takes a couple minutes to establish the new system)
Like everyone has said before, we are not responsible if you brick your phone. This process worked flawlessly for me.
My thanks go out to the people that are working on the roms and recovery systems that make this all possible. You should thank them by donating or by clicking the thanks button.

I was not able to root my phone using SuperOneClick Root and I used this process TO root my phone with krylon's stock + root ROM so I am no sure this step is necessary. Just my two cents. . .
Good point. Didnt think about that.

I've never heard of you having to root your phone for using Odin to flash your phone. As long as you can get into download mode. You should be able to flash your phone using Odin.
Also I've never had to remove my memory or sim card either. This is true with my SGS4G and when I had my Vibrant.
Please provide download links to Odin and stock TAR for the Super Noobs. Not all noobs know how to use the Search..hehe.
i never removed my memory card or sim and it still works fine
Step 1 -- Get a Windows box
Also, ODIN is available off links at http://www.samfirmware.com/
Do you guys know how long it usually takes for Odin to do its thing? I've been waiting for 20 minutes and it's stuck at
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Thanks.

The easiest way for me was to start with the battery out, then plug in the usb and hold down both volume buttons and then put the battery back in. Not sure if this is necessary but the way your describing sounds like it puts you in recovery mode. Does the usb cable being in automatically put you in download mode? (at work or I would test this)

Whatever way gets you in there
If the usb cable is plugged in first, it sets the phone into a battery charge mode (not sure if that's what it is called exactly) and does not allow you to go into download mode if you try pressing vol up and down.

Thats the quickest way to get into download mode.
I either do it that way and pull the battery out first or when the phone is off I'll hold the volume up and down and then plug in the usb cable. Either way works best with me.
I know the OP does not list this but I use this quick and easy way with my phone plugged in and turned on.
open command prompt (windows key + r, then type cmd)
cd C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools (C drive is where my sdk folder is)
adb reboot download
The phone will reboot and go right into download mode. never have to pull battery or push multiple buttons. Hope I dont confuse anyone
Hey everyone! I have a rather weird situation here. For the past couple months I had been running the SkyICS rom and it had been working great. Then I found out that the official ICS update was being released and so I wanted to switch over to it. I went through the process of using Odin to flash the 2.3.5 rom back onto it and it worked out great, but then when I loaded up Kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" when the update is only to be done via Kies. I figured maybe I could reflash the rom through Odin and try again just in case, but when I try to put in Odin mode, it goes to stock Android recovery. WHAT HAPPENED TO DOWNLOAD MODE?! Obviously I can't use Odin to fix that. If anyone could lend a hand here that would be awesome. I have already tried pulling out the battery and restarting it that way, but to no avail. It is the i727 from AT&T. If you need more info I would gladly oblige you.
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. I have attached a picture to show that it is going to stock recovery instead of download mode. Everything else seems to work alright besides that previously mentioned.

To get to download mode I leave the device unplugged, power it off, and then hold power+volume up+volume down until the first time it says Samsung. Then I would plug it in once it brings up download mode.
Turn it off then try holding volume up and down then plug it in without pressing power button.

This is why it was going to recovery. Vol up + volume down + power will always go to recovery. To go to download mode you leave the power button out of it.

Same trouble... I am not able to enter download mode now with skyrocket and ics 4.04.
I am trying the steps:
1) Phone off.
2) Press up and down <NO PRESSING POWER>. Nothing happened. I have waited like a min and nothing. Now, silly question, does the cellphone needs to be turned on? If that's the case, if the cell phone is ON, when I press the combination of volume up and down, the next screen ends on recovery :S.
Someone can advice?
Thank you!

You gotta plug that phone into the usb first and make sure the drivers are installed, then you repeat what you've been doing. Make sure use the cable that came with the device. Hope this helps.
read the return to stock link in my sig, theres a section on getting into dl mode, and a troubleeshooting section for getting into dl/odin mode

You'll need to install the Android SDK, and modify environment variables to make it easy to use ADB and fast boot commands. If that all sounds like a bit much, which it should unless you're going to do development or your buttons are borked, just stick with the previous methods. I've always done the following: Power off phone, plug it into computer, press and hold power button+VolUP+VolDown until it vibrates, release power button while continuing to hold VolUP+VolDown. Should get you into the bootloader where you can use the volume buttons to select an option and the power button to execute.
(I cannot be held responsible if the aforementioned damages your device; do the research and own the process.)
I'm always glad to help..but elaborate what ?
You just need to download a simple folder containing the adb command (5 small files) and put it like in root of c:
Install the skyrocket USB driver on your computer
Enable USB debugging mode in phone
Now connect the skyrocket to computer
Don't activate USB storage
Open command prompt by going to start menu then run command and type "cmd"
In command prompt do "cd" at the location of where you put the adb folder....so like :
C:/cd adb
C:/adb/adb reboot download
That's all
PS: you can also do"adb reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery..
This will save your buttons big time from the funky way of pressing volume up and down simultaneously...I never rebooted into recovery or download using the phone keys...even in Android I use app called"quick boot" needs root but I can reboot into anything by touching that option...

Well, i think there is a problem with the display if is booting and in recovery is the same. You can try to flash with odin stock firmware but you have to do it "blind". Search for odin tutorial anf follow step by step even if you don't see enithing on screen.

If you want to go blind into download mode maybe the following will help:
1: hold power volume down and home button for around 5/6 seconds then let them go
2: press the volume up key and see if odin recognize the device.

Before we proceed, make sure:
1-You have installed your Samsung Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P USB drivers on your PC.
2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default.
3-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should have 70-80% charge remaining.
4-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should be factory unlocked.
5-Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
6-Make sure that kies program is not running & disable antivirus.
How to do it:
Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up. (For some phones, when you see the construction Android robot and a triangle, press Power again to confirm to enter into Download Mode).
Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P to your computer.
Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue and will show the COM port number.
Step 4) unzip the downlowded file, u will get a Home.tar file.
Step 5) click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file "xxxx.tar.md5"
Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)
It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware.
