Who want to try out Odin3 v3.09? Yes, Odin3 v3.09 is the latest Samsung flashing tool for Android devices. Galaxy Series devices like Galaxy S2, S3, S4 or Note 2 are working. You can use it to flash firmware, modem, bootloader, CSC, kernel… Rooting is possible thanks to Odin program too. It is a Windows application, so Linux and Mac users need to use Windows emulator to use it. Any new features on this Odin 3.09? Well, there are AutoStart and Binary Size. And Bootloader, PDA and PHONE were changed to BL, AP and CP.
Note – You need to install Samsung Kies first in order to use Odin because Samsung Android devices need its USB drivers. Else Odin can’t detect them in Odin Download Mode. But do ensure Samsung Kies is not opened or loaded in system tray when using Odin.
Download Odin3 v3.09 here.

Hi Jayce,
Need your advise. I bought SG3 from China, the model number is GT-I9300.
The problem is No Play Store, so i wanted to ask you, can this rooting, flashing, and changing CSC (sorry, i’m a newbie) can solve my problem?
I can use all other function (i also have SG2), including Kies with no problem.
Thanks for the help Jayce, and thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Antony W
Sorry Antony, I am not sure that you can install other region firmware on China I9300 or not. Try to consult others with China model.
Hey Jayce,
I was trying to flash a new operating system onto my phone after rooting it, but all of a sudden my computer doesn’t recognize it as a device in download mode. Because of this, Odin v 1.85 doesn’t recognize it in download mode either. When the phone is on, it will recognize it. I downloaded the drivers for my galaxy s3 a few times and restarted my computer. Do you know what I can do?
Thanks,
Josh
Hi Josh, do you have Samsung Kies installed on your PC?
Jayce,
I have installed kies as well. I went to my computer’s device manager and it doesn’t recognize my phone in download mode either. Is there something wrong with my phone? It has been rooted.
Josh
Not too sure. If can, try on other PC with Kies installed.
Where can I download firmware 4.4.1 For an ATT SIII and S4 phone. I do NOT want to go to 4.4.2 since they eliminated the ability to turn off/disable running apps. My goal is a clean phone without all of the ATT crap! Like installing a clean windows OS after buying a new computer. I have installed Kies V3
Hi Ruben, try your luck at SamMobile.
Hi Jayce!
I have samsung gt n7100 and when i m trying to install philz using odin v 3.07, it is not getting rooted and when i get into downloading mode, the android mode recovery appears. Pls help
Hi aryan, did you root it with CF-Auto-Root previously?
No, I did not root with CF-Auto-Root. I have only tried philz many times using odin.
Root it first then.
after rooting the device, will i be able to root again with philz???? Actually After rooting the device I want to install Ditto Note 3(DN3) custom rom, so if there is any other method to install that rom would also be fine… Thanx
As of now i m going as per your instruction and rooting it with cf auto root
Hi again Jayce!
I tried rooting the device with cf auto root and when I checked it with Root checker basic to know whether it got rooted or not, the message flashed saying- sorry this device does not have proper root access. Pls Help. I want to install DN3 rom anyhow
Try other apps like Titanium Backup see root access work or not.
philz is a recovery. It does not give you root access.
heyy Jayce!!!! Thnx for the the above advices but as I m new to these rooting thing and recoveries, i m confused. So will you please tell me from the beginning what to do in order to install DN3 rom to my device samsung gt n7100. Thanks
Root with CF-Auto-Root. Then install philz recovery.
Hi Jayce!!!!
Thanks very much for the help. Finally DN3 rom installed on my mobile.

Hi.. can you help me.
I’m using Galaxy Tab 8.9 (PT-7300)
Yesterday I tried to update the firmwire using Kies 2.6.214014_7, in the middle of updating suddenly my tab died because the battery. Then when I fully charge my tab, I tried to continue my update, but the tab can’t get into the booting proses, it keeps loading at the “Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9” screen for many hours.
So I tried to factory reset using Power Button and the Volume button key, but after reboot the system it still no changing. It’s stuck there :(.
So now I tried to use the other menu such as “Downloading ODIN3 (Protocol v3.1)” and it says “waiting for USB Cable”, my USB cable is plug already and the Kies failed to connect 🙁
Can you help me out here.. what should I do?
Hi Aryo, try emergency recovery in Kies.
Hi Jayce!
Greeting! i have some questions if u ever encounter with IMEI issue after flashing official firmware? On my wife N7100, it came on sudden after my wife accidentally hit the “update” button on the phone. it can boot normally, but it has the weird or fake imei with 0044XXXXXX. So i came out to root the phone to do some imei repair, but i have no luck. A few method i’ve been using and give me a “no go”. flash back to official firmware also giving me the same result… currently running MIUI and it has been a expensive media player ever since hahahha
Hi Steve, never encounter such issue on official firmware. Official firmware won’t change IMEI.

Try use Odin on other PC see. What is your phone battery problem?
hi jayce
I have a note 2 which has wifi and bluetooth ploblem. tried tofix it using odin 3.9 but the phone is not getting connected to odin. please guide.
Try to install Samsung USB driver first.
hi, i have the samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9005 model and its stil on android 4.3, i cant seem to update to even 4.4 before considering 5.0, each time i run check for updates, it says update available and i download succesfully but its when it comes to installling the updates that it crashes always at about 26%, everytime. please what can i do to get this sorted, i want to move with the world on all updates. thanks
Hi addey, are you updating using OTA? Or Odin?
i was trying to update using OTA, i was trying to get odin to do then i discovered i’m at a disadvantge because i have a macbook, is there any way round this becuase kies does not seem to work also. thanks for your response
Try to ask Samsung Service Center to do the update for you then.
Try to ask Samsung Service Center to do the update for you then.
i came to a friend who has a windows pc and i want to try the odin update but i’m a bit worried, the problem is that with kies, when i connect, it comes up with my phone sm-n9005 but keep showing the connecting and never show the phone details and later ask for a reconnection because of an error or visit the samsung service centre if it continues, if i do the manual boot to use the odin and it fails to load will i stil have the phone working as it is before or it will wipe off the old os, so i dont render the phone useless because of an update, the phone works fine as it is now just want to update it. thanks
Better go service centre in this case since you are worried.
i actually did it and i managed to get the lollipop running on the phone with the windows, but another problem came up, will be glad if you can advise on how o resolve it. the phone has refused to recognised any sim i’m trying now like its locked to a different network, please how do i get this to work with any network all over the world. the lollipop is actually very nice and worth the stress, but i need the phone to work and not just have it like a wifi tab ipad only. lol. thanks
Hmm… I am not too sure how to solve it. Try to install another firmware see (might cause by current firmware). This issue might cause by missing EFS too.
Hmmm, i think i know what caused the issue now, after getting my phone into the boot mode to use ODIN, it gave me the error message of failed every time and the phone was dead on the boot mode, then i got this PIT file to use in PIT in ODIN to load the lollipop which it worked, but also must have erased the EFS file as u suggested might be the problem, is there a way i can reload the EFS back to the sysem. thanks.

Yes, provided you have backup EFS data previously.
i didn’t backup the efs as i had no idea about before u mentioned it and i searched, is there a way i can get the efs restored in this case. thanks
Sorry, I don’t think so without backup.
