Option 1
Option 2
Solution: You need to connect the device to another USB port, or try to flash Samsung on another computer.
The firmware file is broken: MD5 hash value is invalid
If Odin does not allow you to flash Android and gives a similar error:
Added!!Enter CS for MD5..
Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..
MD5 hash value is invalid
xxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 is invalid.
End...

and other similar options, but with different sections.
Solution:
- This may occur due to the fact that you are trying to flash either a broken firmware file or from another Samsung device (you have an i9100 model, but are flashing from an i9300). This may also be a consequence of an attempt to downgrade the Android OS version.
- Download the firmware from an alternative source, if there is any description of the file, then read it;
- Make sure that the firmware is intended for your Samsung device;
- If necessary, downgrade the Android OS version by deleting the sboot.bin file;
In case of switching from custom firmware to official firmware, first perform a reset (wipe data and wipe system).
Option 1
Option 2
Re-Partition operation failed.
Option 3
These problems can arise as a result of damaged sector markings of internal partitions of the device’s flash memory, an attempt to flash someone else’s or modified PIT file, or a damaged bootloader
From time to time, it makes sense for users of Android devices to update the device's firmware. Such a need can be caused either by the release of truly important additions that affect the performance and security of the gadget, or by various technical reasons. However, in some cases, the program used for flashing may not detect the connected device, which significantly complicates the task.
Why doesn't Odin find the device I'm looking for?
The device may not be detected by the program if the OS installed on the computer is outdated or does not have the necessary drivers. As a rule, a necessary requirement for performing manipulations with firmware and using Odin in general is the presence of a package that can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
If the smartphone still cannot be detected, it is worth checking. Many users reported that the device often did not work properly when connected to the front panel of the system unit. You should try to connect it to the connector on the rear panel. The cable manufacturer is also important. In a number of cases, when flashing the device, various errors arose that were eliminated only by replacing the cable with the original.
Other reasons
The above reasons are the most common, however, there are a number of others that you should pay attention to.
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out any manipulations, the gadget must be in the appropriate operating mode.
In addition, in order to prevent problems, it is worth removing existing drivers and Kies, and then reinstalling them. After carrying out such an update, you must restart the computer so that the changes made are guaranteed to take effect.
Other reasons include:
- Incorrect operation of the antivirus;
- Inappropriate version of the Odin program;
- Incompatible OS or other hardware.
Although incompatible devices are extremely rare, it makes sense to try flashing the firmware using a different computer. In most cases, this allows you to solve the problem if other methods did not help the user.
The program is designed for flashing Android devices. Flashing a Samsung smartphone or tablet is quite simple, but if you don’t know a few basic rules, your phone can be damaged. Below we will tell you how to reflash Samsung Odin correctly.
Using Odin does not require any special skills; even not very experienced users can use the program.
All currently available versions of Odin: , . The most stable version is v1.85.

2. Boot Samsung into bootloader mode.
Putting Samsung into bootloader mode
Before connecting the device to the computer and flashing the firmware, you need to boot Samsung in bootloader mode, for this:
For older Samsung models:
Turn off the smartphone/tablet and press the buttons simultaneously Volume Down and On/Off. We are waiting for the inscription to appear:
Let's release the buttons.
For new models from 2011-12.
Turn off the device and press the buttons at the same time Volume Down - Center + On/Off button.
We are waiting for the picture to appear:
Release all buttons and press once Volume Up, it should appear:
3. Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable. Drivers should be installed if they have not been installed previously.
4. Launch Odin, if everything was done correctly before, then there will be a yellow window in the upper left corner, the device is recognized.
5. Specify the Odin firmware file. If the firmware is one file, then indicate the path to it in the PDA window:
If multi-file, then:
PIT file (if any) in the PIT field (click on the PIT button)
File APBOOT_xxxxx.tar.md5 in the Bootloader field (click on the Bootloader button)
File CODE_xxxxx.tar.md5 in the PDA field (click on the PDA button)
File MODEM_xxxxx.tar.md5 in the PHONE field (click on the Phone button)
File CSC_xxxxx.tar.md5 in the CSC field (click on the CSC button)
reset settings - wipe .
If, when flashing Samsung Odin firmware, it gives an error:
SetupConnection..
Can't open the serial(COM) port.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Try using another USB port or computer and repeat the whole process again.
If it comes out:
Added!!
Enter CS for MD5..
Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..
MD5 hash value is invalid
xxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 is invalid.
End...
This means the firmware file is broken and not fully downloaded. Download again, if it doesn’t help, remove the md5 extension from the file and try again.
If you need to flash Samsung only partially, for example you want to flash a modem, then paste the modem firmware file into the Phone field. If you want to flash the kernel or , then specify the file in the PDA field.
Remember that you act at your own peril and risk!
All official firmware for Samsung smartphones is released for installation via the Odin program. This program can install firmware on all Samsung smartphones using the Android operating system. If you have decided to update or restore your Samsung, then it's time to learn how to flash Samsung via Odin.
How to flash Samsung via Odin and what you need for this
Before you start flashing your smartphone, you need to make sure that the battery charge is more than 50%, otherwise the smartphone/tablet may turn off during the software installation, after which it will be very difficult to revive the device.
While charging your device, you need to prepare everything you need to update or restore your Samsung. Download and install the official Samsung driver, also download and extract the archive from Odin.
Instructions on how to flash Samsung via Odin will not help if the wrong firmware is selected.
How to choose firmware for Samsung
The first step is to decide how many files should be in the firmware. There are two types of firmware released for Samsung:
- Single-file – simple firmware, great for updating a smartphone
- Service (Multi-file) – 4-file firmware, which is best used to restore smartphone software
Also, firmware via Odin can help with memory re-partitioning; a PIT file is used for this. In simple terms, you can take memory from the built-in storage and give this memory for installing applications. It is better not to use a PIT file unless necessary.
All new Samsung devices have restrictions on system rollback, which is related to the bootloader. You will not be able to install firmware with a bootloader version lower than what is currently installed. To find out which firmware is right for you, follow these steps:
- Open Settings - About phone
- Find "Software Version"
- The first 4 characters after the device model are the bootloader version
Samsung firmware with the same bootloader version will suit you. . If you can’t decide which firmware to download, write your device and software version in the comments, indicate your wishes and I will select the firmware for you.

Ready! That's how easy it is to flash firmware via Odin! Did your Samsung firmware finish successfully? If you have any questions, write in the comments and I will definitely answer them!
Answers on questions:
What should I do if Odin doesn't see my phone?
Reinstall the drivers and restart the PC, check your USB cable, it is better to connect another one. Also try using a different USB port.
Today we will talk about firmware for a Samsung phone using the example of the Galaxy S i9003 model. For correct operation, it is necessary that the drivers for the phone are installed. If you already have the Kies program, then most likely you already have everything you need. I really don’t recommend flashing via Kies, because it often freezes halfway, or simply doesn’t see the smartphone, like mine. The Samsung company took care of us and released an additional program called the name of the mythical god Odin. At the time of writing, the program version is 1.83. Install additional drivers (you can download everything below) that will help the program work with the phone in firmware mode.
I warn you, I am not responsible for all manipulations with the phone that you will do after reading this article. I have flashed it using this method several times without any problems or errors. But if flashing your phone does not help with your problems, under no circumstances tell the service center about it.
There are two types of firmware: 1 file and 5 files. They differ from each other in that 1 file updates the current firmware without affecting your saved information, while 5 files erases all the contents of the phone, except for the external memory card.
Firmware process with 1 file:
1. The phone must be turned off! We connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable.
2. Launch the Odin program.
3. Make sure that the phone is connected, in the picture it is indicated on the top left should be yellow, and in the message window it says “added” (added)
4. Click on the PDA button on the right and select the previously downloaded firmware file, if it is in the archive, unpack it (the extension should be .md5, .tar or smd).
5. Enter it into the firmware state by pressing the volume down + home button + power buttons in sequence until the Android picture with a shovel appears.
6. If everything is in order, press the start button in the ODIN program.
7. The firmware will last about 5 minutes and upon completion, the message PASS should appear in the program in the very top window! The device will reboot on its own and only when fully loaded can you disconnect the cable.
Firmware process with 5 files:
1. We carry out all operations as in the previous description until the 3rd step.
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware files into a separate folder.
3. Add files to the appropriate windows:
PIT- latona_20110114.pit(with pit extension)
PDA- I9003XXKC1-REV08-PDA-low-CL964212.tar.md5(name must contain PDA or CODE)
PHONE - MODEM_I9003XXKC1_REV_00_CL964949.tar.md5(the file contains the word MODEM)
CSC - CSC - GT-I9003-CSC-SERKC1.tar.md5(in the CSC file name)
BOOTLOADER - APBOOT_I9003XXKPU_CL984714_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5(the file name contains APBOOT)
These files may be completely different in content, but the indicated signs are required.
4. Check the Re-partition box
5. Press start and wait for the PASS message and a successful reboot.
