Hi all,
has anyone seen this before? I was attempting to update to the latest bootloader and modem and Windows Defender came up with the attached.
Is this an erroneous error or is this a real threat? I have flashed stock ODIN files before and have not seen this.
Thanks!
Which file was that? Link? Why don't you upload it to virustotal.com?

I manually upgraded my phone using the instructions on samfirmware.com and it worked fine but I want to downgrade it to 2.1 to get a certain app. I tried doing it using the same instructions and the 2.1 firmware but when I unpack the rar file there is only 1 file in it, the instructions says this is the PDA.tar file and it is the only one that can be flashed but when I open it in Odin it says invalid file type. I can't seem to find instructions anywhere
You didn't quite specify what version of 2.1 you would like to flash to. In my case, when I needed to flash I used the stock odin files found in my device's subforum. You should probably look there for what you may need.
If you have a facinate, here's a free treat:

I have tried to flash to I5500LUYJI1 and I5500BVJJI1 both give me the "Invalid Image Type" error when I try to open the image in Odin. Also there is no subforum for the Samsung Galaxy 5.

Best I could find. If that doesn't help, sorry.
Yea I've been looking through that thread, some people have mentioned downgrading but no guides have been mentioned or anything
Would anyone else know how to do this?

Ive looked for a Odin flashable VRBLI5 Radio only and havent found one. Is there or will someone make the radion Odin flashable?? I looked over at rootzwiki and he only has the recovery flashable version only.
I thought someone was working on this in one of the threads with the new leak... However I was unable to locate it... I also tried to download the original leaked .TAR file to try and extract it for you however that download is taking FOREVER....

Yeah i tried to do the same as you but the download as you say takes forever!!!! i thought someone might have down this already .
I need to unroot my Verizon SCH-I535 and reinstall stock OS. I've read several articles regarding how to do this with desktop Odin, and I'm familiar enough with Odin that I used it to successfully root the device in the fist place.
I've downloaded the OTA Jellybean tar.md5 files from both samsung-updates and sammobile. When I try to load file named HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 into the PDA slot choice, Odin shows the filename as having a bunch of Korean characters appended to the filename following md5. This file will not load into the PDA programmer. Picture attached.
This happens with both files downloaded from two different sources. However, I can call up a Clockwork Jellybean file like CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 and it shows a normal file name and it will load into the PDA programmer. I did not proceed with the clockwork update because it would not give me the unrooted stock OTA OS that I need.
Does anybody know why the OTA files cannot be loaded into PDA?
I do not know anything about Verizon or the file you dl'd. I do know there is a newer version of Odin out there. It could be possible the dl is corrupted. Try downloading again. It's not passing the internal check. If possible, try to find file from a more reliable source than asian, if that is where you're getting the file from. You're taking a huge gamble with bricking your phone by getting the file from a foreign site.
To add, I'd suggest downloading the VRBLK3 tar from Open1your1eyes0 thread titled " [GUIDE] Jelly Bean Factory Images ***UPDATED 02/06/13***" which is in the dev section. I notice most people that post issues on xda were following tutorials/downloads from other sites.
4.1.2 OTA is MB1 and hasn't been released that I know of. That is an old ICS build. Follow Snoops recomendation.
Solved

OK, I solved it. Renamed the file to remove .md5 from the end, so it ends in .tar. Korean characters go away and Odin loads it. From there, flashed OK. Phone now unrooted, flashed to Verizon stock JellyBean and on it's way back to Verizon. Replacement GS3 i535 is working great - this was all done to get a warranty replacement phone where the GPS would work. By the way, I tried all the tricks to get the GPS to work . . . tightening screws, clearing caches, uninstalling maps, etc., etc., ad nauseum. New phone is the way to go, for all those who are still struggling with this.
For any phone as expensive to replace as the S3, you should be buying the insurance. I've used it several times to get new replacement phones about midway through the contract. Well worth the cost, to me.
Hi everyone,
Last night I decided to root my note pro sm-p900. I just kinda mindlessly followed the instructions on a website I found thinking it'd be easy since I'd done basically the same thing before with a galaxy s4. But once I started odin my root failed and now I'm stuck on the 'firmware failure try the kies emergency recovery thing' screen. At that point I kinda woke up and read the Web site closely and realized that it had me extract the tar.md5 to my desktop! Is that the problem? I shouldn't have extracted that right?
Anyways what is the easiest way to fix this? Do I just need a tar.md5 for stock firmware and flash that instead? Or will I need a pit file or anything?
If so does anyone have a link for the download I need? Looked on samobile but couldn't seem to find it.
Thanks!
You can get out of the soft brick by flashing the B3 recovery tar from this post.

Which version of odin are you using? You don't have a mac do you?
Download the actual firmware for your phone from the official Samsung website. sammobile.com. Don't be downloading stock firmware from file hosts, or dropbox. You need to register for free on the official sammobile.com and then attempt to download your firmware. The firmware is a large file, so make sure to have good WiF/data connection. And yes, make sure you're using the latest version of Odin. Good luck!
