(You may get 4 or more files, with AP, BL, CP or CSC etc. Written at the beginning of those files.) We will be loading this file into Odin, to be installed on the device (in step 10 below). Connect your device now using the USB cable. Odin should recognize your device. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in the bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no.
And turn its background blue. Look at the pic below. You cannot proceed until you get the Added!! Message, which confirms that Odin has recognized your device. If you don’t get Added!! Message, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with the device. Mostly, drivers are the problem (look at step 2 above).
You can try different USB ports on your PC too.Step 10. Load the firmware file into Odin. Click the AP button on Odin and the select the.tar.md5 file from above. Load the firmware files(s) on your device.
This depends on how many files you got in step 4 above upon extracting the firmware.zip file.Case 1: If you got a single.tar/.tar.md5 file, then load this into AP tab of your Odin software. Then go to next step.To load the file, click on AP tab, select the single firmware file starting with AP text, wait for it to load, and then skip to step 11, ignoring the rest of the part of this step.Case 2: If you got more than one.tar/.tar.md5 file, then you must be having files starting with AP, CSC, HomeCSC, BL, CP, etc. In this case, choose the files as follows.
Select the firmware files as follows. Click on BL tab, and select the file beginning with BL text. Click on AP tab, and select the file beginning with AP text. Click on CP tab, and select the file beginning with CP text. Different Click on CSC tab, and select the file beginning with HOMECSC text. If HOMECSC file isn’t available, then select the file beginning with CSC text.About CSC file: Using the HOMECSC file won’t reset your device, and data on the phone shouldn’t be deleted. However, when we select regular CSC file, and it results in CSC on the device being different than that in CSC file, your phone will be formatted automatically.
You can even choose to ignore loading the CSC file, that may do alright too. But if it doesn’t work out, repeat the whole process and select CSC file this time around. Info: When you load files, Odin checks the md5 of firmware file, which takes time. So, simply wait until that’s done and the firmware file is loaded. Don’t worry if Odin gets unresponsive for a while, it’s normal. Binary size will also show up in Odin. Some errors you may run into, and with respective solution.
If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do this all again. Disconnect your device, close Odin, boot device into download mode again, open Odin, and then select the file and flash it again as said above. If you get FAIL in the top left box, then also you need to flash the file again as stated just above.That’s it.
