If you're like me, you don't like having to pull your battery out to reboot your phone. When having problems with Odin I hate having to pull my battery out to simply reboot it when commands like "adb reboot" have spoiled me.
Here is a blank .tar file (just made in notepad) for Odin. Put it in the PDA slot and make sure Auto Reboot is checked. Click Start and Odin will reboot your Samsung device into Android. No wiping or writing.

came in handy - for a zero byte file. lol
lazy ppl ftw!
great!! thanks a lot!! how can i create a file like this that reboots the device in recovery mode? can you do that?
To flash it in recovery you will first have to boot in recovery... So this means nothing lol... Use quickboot app...

Sorry for the really late response. I too am trying to figure out how to make Odin tell the phone to boot straight into recovery. One method I found does work. Find the CF-Autoroot package for your phone (if it exists), pull the cache.img out, put that cache.img into an odin package (find a tutorial on how to do that elsewhere), then flash and it will boot straight into recovery.
For example. I made a a custom odin package for my Galaxy Note 2 using a TWRP.img and the cache.img from the CF-Autoroot package. Flashed it in Odin and it installed TWRP and booted straight into recovery! This way the recovery-from-boot.p file can be deleted in recovery before it reinstalls the stock recovery.
can you help me, booting with odin on sgs1 to get into recovery mode. very importent

I don't think I can help you out. CF-Root files don't contain the trick to boot straight into recovery. At least this is what I think, I don't have a phone that can use CF-Root to test it on. Picking apart CF-AutoRoot is what helped me. The Galaxy S 1 does not have CF-AutoRoot since that phone is set up differently than newer Samsung devices.
Great idea mate, power button broken in my sgs i9000 and if it turns off i can only access download mode.. So via Odin and your file i managed to power it on fast and simple.. Thx again..
My phone is stuck in recovery mode because the home button is broken, but when I connect my phone to pc, Odin can detect my phone. Can I use Odin to reboot my phone when it's in recovery model instead of download mode? Thank you.
^^ same question?
Can Odin just reboot?

If I understand correctly this is a blank (0 byte) file which does nothing but after flashing is completed because autoreboot is checked the phone will reboot automatically. Genius indeed!

Worked like a charm... just to add ... in newer ODIN instead of PDA you'd see AP. Also in Options remember to uncheck "F. Reset Time" and keep "Auto Reboot" on as mentioned above.
P.S: I didn't check what happens if F. Reset Time is on. Just posted what worked for me.
Note:
This is a exactly a tool for those whose "power button not working" to get out of any of ODIN or recovery modes when required. Usually it is decrease volume button + power/side key button for more than 7 secs to reboot and come out of odin mode.
Thanks XDA.
Alright so once again for the 4th time I was misfortunate enough to soft brick my Fascinate all because of Odin. Even though i know how to unbrick it easily just by using the Super One Click, but its still annoying because I still l havnt been able to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I havnt gotten ANYTHING done with Odin. All its done is brick my Android. I have root, i clicked the pda button and chose the tar file (which is clockwork mod) , I put my phone in download mode, Odin detects it, I press start and this is what Odin says "failed! (succeeded 0/failed 1)" and then congratulations, Its bricked... Thank you Odin... really, what da hell am I doin wrong?? I know the file isnt corrupt because I downloaded another tar file and the same thing happened. Help me out for real

Wrong file perhaps, tar file should be the original ROM file if im not mistaken. To flash CWM, you need to boot your phone into the recovery and flash it from there.
Make sure that Odin is running as administrator. I'm confused as to how you have root before even installing clockworkmod recovery.

I used Super One Click to get it rooted. I went to Rom Manager to flash CWM recovery but whenever i click boot into recovery, i end up in the original stock version. Whatever it's called. So yeah, i checked my sd card and theres a folder called "clock work recovery" inside are some other files and a zip file. Does tht mean its installed?
On my phone, when I open up ROM Manager, there's an option that says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" - have you done that ?

Yes i do, i clicked on it, it says it installs it successfully. Yet when i enter recovery its still not clockwork. Im suppose to do it through Odin but it fails every time

This is because in newer android kernels, when you reboot your phone it reflashes recovery before booting back into android. Next time you install clockworkmod recover through rom manager, after it's successful, just pull your battery out. insert the battery again, and boot straight into recovery, not into android first. If you are able to do this, you should be able to flash a custom rom on there no problemo. once that's done, clockwork mod won't give you a problem again.
This still doesn't answer why odin won't work for you, but if you can use an alternative method i wouldn't even worry about it.
Hope this helps.
Odin not working!!!
I have just recently dowloaded the Odin programme, everything works until I try to open up the root file. It will not find it when I browse through Odin. However it does shows up when just looking via my computer, extracted and all. If anyone knows the cause of this please help!
Hi, I wanted to root. Instead of flashing the custom recovery I only wanted to boot into it and then apply the supersu.zip.
But something went wrong and now I can't turn the device on.
Please help me. :crying: Here is the screenshot, what happened. (attachment)
EDIT: I couldn't turn on the device, but I could start the stock revovery via volume down+ power. And now?
EDIT2: After entering the stock recovery I could boot normally. Why did it behave so strange? This is the correct file openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-bacon.img?
I had the same issue, now I'm on flashed CWM recovery.
Try this img file, this one worked for me. It's from the "OnePlus Easy Toolkit". You can also try it through it... but if you want to do it manually you cann extract the archive and use the provided twrp img file
I took the CWM.img which is in this zip file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779976
And it worked. I could do "fastboot boot [cwm recovery.img]" Thanks for the hint to try CWM instead of TWRP
Hi,
I have S8 Plus SM-G955F in Germany.
Dont knwo what exactly happend, but my phone was just still running fine (bootloader is unlocked) and I rebooted but then was stuck at "Installing system updates" screen which appear before getting into recovery. However, it does not enter into recovery and reboots after few seconds into "installing updates" mode which then fails.
It does not boot up into Android.
All I can access to is Download Mode.
I flashed "BL_G955FXXU1AQF7_CL11544126_QB13847503_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" Bootloader and rebooted and now it is stuck in Samsung boot logo. If I press Vol up + Bixpy Button + Power nothing happends, it does not even start to load Recovery mode.
I now downloaded following stock firmware through SamFirm: "SM-G955F_1_20171214140840_hlcm4r582t_fac.zip.enc4" (3332 MB)
but when trying to flash it in odin I get FAILED !!! Also if I try to flash TWRP recovery "twrp-3.1.0-1-dream2lte.img" I get FAILED in Odin I now also tried to flash "AP_G955FXXU1AQH3_CL12050265_QB14545623_REV00" firmware using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0ZZxcNVnE which also FAILED. I think I am completely bricked !!
Please help, phone is completeley useless now
Thanks!

I had the same problem with downloading stock firmware. My problem was that I couldn't download from SamMobile because of server maintenance. So I downloaded from here. An with this tool there's the option to decrypt the file automatically. I forgot to tick this option and had a .enc4-file like you have there. The problem could decrypt this file and then I could unzip it and use it with odin.
So that's your problem: you are trying to use an encrypted file. But you have to use an decrypted file.

Hi,
thank you! But its actually not my problem. Samfirm decrypted and I got the zip with the BL, AP, CSC, CP files in it. But ODIN fails everytime anyway and I have no idea what I could still do now.

Usual behaviour was this: Vol up, bixpy and Power -> Recovery mode which fist starts with "Installing update..." then failed and then it goes into some black recovery mode where you can choose Apply update.zip etc. right? However, in my case this black screen with more commands did not show up, before it was rebooting again by itself.
Now I cannot even get into this "installing updates" mode before recovery, because "Vol up, bixpy and Power" does not bring any action.
Vol down, Bixpy and Power still works and brings me to Download Mode. But it doesnt help me, because once I tr to flash any firmware in Download Mode, it FAILS in Odin, so I am completely stuck, hope you understand

Download mode is the only mode you need for restoring stock firmware.
Try this guide. (Spoiler "Flashing Standard Firmware:")
Yesterday I did it with this one too and it worked flawlessly. But I used Odin v3.12.3 not as said in the guide V3.12.7.

it automatically loaded into recovery before, I was not able to boot into Android, it loaded recovery (but without black screen with more commands) automatically by default and rebooted, loaded recovery again and rebooted, loaded recovery againd and rebooted etc...all I could to to interrupt this was loading download mode.
However, thanks for the link, but it does describe what I did already. And yes, I also used Odin 3.12.3 already because in the video tutorial I linked some posts before they said also, I need to use that version.
However, it simply does not work. Odin FAILS everytime
I am not doing anything wrong, I am sure. The only thing could be that the Firmware I downloaded is still wrong, even I cannot imagine this.

Yes that's the only thing that comes on my mind too if you think everything else is right. Download another firmware file maybe from a different provider than SamMobile.
Or try using different USB-Port, USB-Cable and/or different PC.

Did already, did not help. I think maybe there is something realldy bricked, so flashing stock firmware wont be possible at all anymore?! Is this possible somehow?
btw: Just managed to load into TWRP, randomly it does load twrp, dont know how, because if I press the keys for loading into recovery, it actually does not do anything, but currently I see twrp.
Is see anything I can try from there? btw: formated data (incl. internal storage) earlier already, but it did not change anything.
But any idea what I can try to flash from TWRP maybe? Is there a way to flash stock firmware from TWRP somehow?
I found a backup in twrp, I am currently trying to restore it...

Google found this. But I don't know if this works. I only flashed custom ROMs via TWRP. Stock ROMs always via Odin.

I just ran into this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
It looks like you're not the only one...
You know, you might want to try and remove the more current apps you installed and see if that is causing the loop, and if that does not work, just dirty flash over what you have. For me, a lot of time a dirty flash will solve the issue, as it overwrites the OEM software, and in that manner, takes my phone OS back to normal/new state, while leaving my data.
I have a Note 5 from Tmobile. I installed deodexed EQK1 from Metabolic. Well now I am trying to go back to stock. After wiping everything, and trying to install any stock zip from Sammobile, it keeps saying the zip file is corrupt. Can someone please help?

The zip you downloaded from sammobile can only be used with Odin. You can't flash that in recovery. Download Odin on your pc and be sure to enable usb debugging in settings. Move the zip from sammobile to your pc and extract the zip. You should have one file that extracts from the zip. Boot your phone into download mode and plug it into your computer, open Odin and you should see a connected device. In the AP slot of Odin open the file from the zip and let it confirm your md5. After it verifies the md5, open options and turn off auto reboot. Turn on bootloader update and F Reset time. Flash the file and once it completes hold the download mode buttons until the screen turns black. Now you MUST BOOT into recovery TWICE. After the two recovery boots it should boot back to stock.
DUH. I am on pain meds, and was not even thinking that all files from Sammobile are for Odin. Thanks very much Metabolic, and thanks for your hard work as well
