I have some questions about using Odin? Why when using the main tar or md5 file it does not wipe all data before installing the new or old firmware? For some reason I have tried many ways to do this but not successful. The main model I am trying to flash completely is the SCH-R530C and the SCH-R530 USC. Please help if you can. I have also tried to use all the proper files including the Bootloader, AP(MD5), CS, and CSC files including the PIT files as well. If any one could please help me out on this it would be great. I have over 200 different models that are having the same issues. Thank you all for the help.:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

Hi, i just want to know how can i install gingerbread on Galaxy S I9000T from Mexico, i already try several times and no sucess, Odin fails when SBL is flashing and give me a semi-brick phone, some on told me that's a problem with bootloaders.
I already try to flash it with pit file, repartition, no repartion, no pit file, with odin 1.3 and 1.7, i downloaded several files from diferent sites, with and without bootloaders.
So i realy dont know what to do now, anybody have an advice?
Thks in advance!!
Hi everyone, I want to make a thread that will host PIT Files for any device capable. I already know how to make them using Heimdall, I would just like some assistance regarding how detailed the data should be for each PIT file.
For example, i have a "Galaxy Note (ATT GSM) SGH I717 quincyatt", lets say i created a PIT of the device, could someone else benefit and use that PIT for their SGH-I717?
Also would it matter what ROM I'm running when making a PIT (I make all my PITs on stock ROMs only), but lets say I'm running stock JZO54K.I717UCMD3, I make a PIT file and someone who needs the file for what ever reason is planing on pairing this PIT file to flash while flashing another ROM in Odin would that PIT file be incompatible, or are the ROM and PIT independent?
Any other helpful info would be appreciated, I've been reading up on PIT files throughout XDA and haven't really obtained conclusive knowledge, specifically on the questions I'm asking here.
what I ultimately plan to do is have device specific detailed list with links to PIT files per device, but i just want to know how specific the info per phone needs to be. Thanks in advance!
Ohh and one more thing, I've noticed LG and Sony devices use tools, similar to Odin, are PIT Files specific to Samsung (i know what PIT stand for), or can this info be pulled from other devices too? I think I remember getting partition data from one of my Motorola Droid phones way back by doing something similar, I'm not too sure though.

They are independent indeed, and pit is partitioning info which depends on device model only. So anyone with same model could use your .pit file with any ROM. And, besides, it is almost imposiible to find .pit file for i717 somewhere in internet so it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
Forgive me if I'm duplicating any threads, I don't THINK that I am as I've been scouring for a neat solution to this and not quite got there yet.
So I'm performing a simple mod for a mate of mine on his S6 (Sm-G920F), which he bought unlocked, but is using on EE. Wifi calling isn't enabled on non EE Firmwares, which has cropped up a few times on here, but it's easy enough to enable.
Basically I rooted the phone (no pingpong for it yet so used CF-Autoroot via odin), and then thanks to tiboric's handy post on hidden S6 features (cheers dude), I edited system/csc/others.xml to include the line - <CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>TRUE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall> then enabled Wifi Calling in the phone app settings
This worked like a charm, sent my mate his phone back and all is right in the world...UNTIL he calls me saying that he want's to use a particular paid sport streaming service which detects his phone is rooted and blocks access.
Now I like a challenge, and it doesn't sound beyond the wit of man so I get the device back and try a few things...
1) Remove root via Super SU, rip the unrooted recovery and cache img files from the stock firmware, create my own md5 and flash via Odin.... Flashes but bootloops
2) Flash the stock firmware, create a flashable zip containing a modified others.xml, boot into recovery, flash update via adb... Flashes but bootloops
3) Download the stock EE firmware...Won't flash from Odin
4) Scour the web for a non rooted S6 ROM with Wifi Calling enabled.. So far no joy!
I reckon I must have missed something, anybody had any joy with either an alternate way to enable Wifi Calling or an "Unroot" method that doesn't require a total wipe? Any nudge in the right direction much appreciated at this point.
Cheers

All you have to do is flash a PIT file which lets you have flash the large hidden.img in the branded EE files. That is what I did and I am on stock and un-rooted.
Wrong forum.
Thanks Rekan_ Any chance you can link me to the guide/sources you used?

Flash this in the PIT section of your Odin, this will DELETE everything. Then with the PIT file, flash the EE Branded Firmware and it will flash properly.
If that PIT file doesn't work, try this PIT file, I did both but cannot remember which one worked.
Hmmmm, Still got a nand write fail with both of those pit files. Did you flash G920FXXU1AOCY_G920FEVR1AOC1_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5 ?
Hi guys
Anyone get this working I'm on a unlocked o2 s6
Please let me know
Thanks
I have an att note 3 that I want to upgrade to stock lollipop.
1. Which rom do I need for my specific device?
2. If that rom is available, where can I get it?
3. If it is available, which slot in Odin is the correct one to use? I noticed that some roms use bl, ap etc, assuming I read that correctly before.
I've used odin before but used the ap slot for what I was doing then.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Download and extract this file...boot your device to download mode and flash using odin...if there's just one file after extraction...use the AP slot. If there are 4 files, they would have the corresponding prefixes like BL, Modem, etc

Thank you so very much. I've been messing with this phone for a week trying to find any stock rom in order to return this phone to factory then hopefully not have the ota update fail. Not only have I now accomplished that but hey, I didn't have to run the ota!!
The rom you linked to worked perfectly. Agian, thank you.
