Hey guys.
A small piece of info.
Oreo uses a new form of file compression .lz4 format not tar
Older odin does not know how to handle lz4s
When flashing Oreo firmwares always have the newest Odin 3.13 or higher

Does anyone have the 5.1.1 odin tar files now that the update has been released?
I would like these too.
The oj7 ?
Ok so I have a note 4 that was not working properly as it would boot into Odin mode when I tried to turn it on. That being said, it sometimes would boot normally or not turn on at all. So my solution was to root it and install a custom rom (like cyanogen mod). So I got odin and the twrp file and the custom kernel and followed the steps necessary: flash twrp, flash the kernel, flash super su, etc. But the problem is that Odin says "no pit binary". So I google it and found out that I could repartition it using a stock ROM and the correct pit file. I did that and it failed as well. So I turn to keis and do the firmware and initialization thingy, that ends up failing too. So I go back to odin and try to flash stock firmware but it fails after " writing NAND " thingy or it fails saying "cannot open specified file" or "no pit file ". What can I do.[emoji27]

Hey bud. Are you trying to flash a pit file and firmware or just firmware. And is it a N910T and if so on what build of firmware..? Send a screenshot of download mode...and also try to rename the extracted firmware file from .md5 to .tar and try to flash
Its a N910T and its on 5.1.1, i read on another XDA thread that to repartition something you need stock firmware (which I have a 5.1.1 one) and the right pit file (I have the N910T one) and that in odin put the extracted firmware file and on pit put the pit file. I did that and it failed. And how would I rename the file ... Would I just rename it on the file explorer on windows?

First it was a pit file and firmware, but now I'm trying to unbrick it by flashing just firmware on odin since keis doesn't seem to help. And yes it is an N910T, dont know the exact build but it is 5.1.1 ( would flashing a different 5.1.1(for the n910t) build matter or not, since its still 5.1.1 ?)
Yea if your on dok2 you can't go back to anything under that. It will fail every time. What firmware build u got

I dont know... The latest one ( the update for stage fright was the last update I had installed on there. Since it's soft bricked ( the connect to kies message) I can't tell what the exact build was... I just know its a 5.1.1 build.)
First, please excuse my bad english.
Is there a way to update the stock firmware on the Galaxy Note 8 G950F without TWRP loss, root loss and data loss?
With Chainfire's Flashfire app you could at least flash stock firmware without the stick recovery that touched TWRP. The last time I worked with Flashfire was on the Galaxy S6.
My main concern is that even when flashing a new Stock Firmware all data will be preserved.
On the Internet I have read on several pages that you can flashing the Galaxy S7 in Flashfire without problems AP and CP. With CSC one had to extract but probably a cache.zip on the CSC file.
Is this similar to Note 8 and if so, how do you create it? Because when extracting the CSC.tar I get no cache.img but a cache.img.lz4. And this always leads to an abort of the imgextractor (under Windows 10 Pro) with the imgextractor.
Thanks for good ideas.
Lz4 is new compression & is why you need the newest Odin 3.13.1 to flash any FWs that use lz4 compression. You can convert lz4 back to ext4 & img so you can then use it how you need. Look online for programs.
Thanks, ich found that.
Full Firmwares, PIT Files, boot.img, and recovery.img for Snapdragon Note 4s
Use PIT files only when necessary. You are responsible for what you flash on your phone. Please do proper research before flashing any of the following files on your phone.
All of these files were downloaded with SamFirm and are the most recent available firmware except for the F model. There's a more recent release for the F model but the firmware is the same it's just for a different CSC region and I pulled the one I thought might be the most popular. If I'm wrong about that please let me know. The CSC code for all the firmwares is in the title of the files. I added the stock recovery.img to the folders too just in case.
Download Link
Also, I just noticed that samsung buries the pc drivers install program in their firmwares. If anyone needs to install drivers that file is also in the download link.
Hello,
Im trying to recover my galaxy s10 for T-Mobile. I flash the correct firmware via Odin, its flashes successfully with no issues, and every time, it gets all the way to the T-Mobile boot screen, freezes, and then starts again at the Samsung screen. When I boot into recovery, I can see at the bottom:
E:[libfs_mgr]Unable to disable quotas on /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata because /system/bin/tune2fs is missing
I have tried factory resetting from recovery, but it continues to bootloop. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
You used the patched version of Odin right? Reflash the firmware. Use one or 2 version firmwares down from the current if the current firmware doesn't work.

I downloaded the newest Odin from SamMobile. Will I be to flash an older firmware, if my bootloader is on the newest?
This error message is normal /system/bin/tune2fs is missing
A full odin Flash should cure it, you may even have to look into the re partition option where you specify the pit file. (extracted from the CSC file).
I've flashed with patched Odin, still same. I'm fairly new to Samsung flashing, how would I go about extracting that file?
