So I downloaded the stock 7.0 firmware from a link here on XDA. Upon opening the .rar file i was presented with multiple files and I am not sure which one I am supposed to flash. Here is a pic of all the files I have. Just click on the link below. Can someone tell me which one I am supposed to use to flash my phone back to stock android.

Hi
Please I'd like to know if it's possible to create a Complete ROM (3 files - Modem, PDA and CSC) from an One Package ROM (only one .TAR file).
And is that really useful? After this process, can we only flash the CSC file with Odin (Desktop)?
Thanks for your help. (always appreciated help)
Yes you can extract single ROM file and later create tar file for each component
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.
Thanks dr.ketan.
Extracting a tar file we obtain several img files (system.img, hidden.img, boot.img, recovery.img...) (from my own experience with an official rom of a French telephone company).
How could I know which img files is for the Odin's fields PDA, Phone, CSC...?
Alternatively you can use mobile odin to flash indivudual components.

Atm I don't have Mobile Odin. Do u mean that we can flash .img file thanks to this app?
And do u know if this kind of Full Package flash is better than a One Package one? The result could be different?
Thanks again for your explanation.
System. Is PDA, modem is phone, boot is kernel, recovery is recovery this is different component of ROM file
Single file flashing flash all required component on one go, while individual useful when you want to flash only single component.
PC odin can flash tar file but not. img file, you have to convert it to tar
While mobile odin can flash tar as well img file too.

All what I need to understand
Thanks again.
Ready to flash firmware, just one last thing
Hello, I have a gt-n7100 which I bought in china and I am looking in to flashing the firmware into the UK version as this chinese version has bloatware and i cant access google play or install many apps even if i get them from other markets. The guys here are all a great help but im stuck on one bit of info.
As I have read the threads, I see that the chinese note 2 cannot be flashed with other firmware using Odin PC, because it has a different bootloader ..(is my understanding correct?) So the solution would be to root it and use Odin Mobile instead. But i cant get mobile odin pro because i can never access the google play because it is blocked by this firmware. (ZCALJ6) So I have to use mobile odin LITE, which the tutorial says I have to manually download and install seperate files such as flash kernels. Thats fine, I located the files needed but i dont know when to install it and run it ? Before I install odin or after? or after I have flashed the new firmware or before? And when I install it what should i do next?....because i couldnt find where it says anything about that process, just goes on to explain that mobile odin PRO does it all for you automatically and picks it up from there.
Seriously in need of help, this chinese firmware does to note 2 what kryptonite does to superman.
I've got AOSP installed on my SGH-M919 so it looks and feels like a 9505 GPE. I want to go back to stock. I'm trying to flash with ODIN and it keeps failing. From what I can tell I just need to flash the PIT file in addition to the tar.md5 file. Unfortunately all I can find is a crappy rapidgator link that's going to take ~20 hours to download a complete ZIP file with a bunch of extraneous crap (beyond the PIT file).
I want to know if there's a place to get just the tiny PIT file? Maybe there's a better place to download the full ZIP file than RapidGator? I've tried google. I've tried XDA search. "Help me forum posts, you're my only hope."
Try this link. let me know if it works.

Thanks... but unfortunately my answer is "nope - neither the M919 or the M919n links worked." I got to an ultraspammed 4shared download page with a 20 second counter that never counted down. I tried every link and they were either an unrelated clicktrap ad or an attempt to steal various social network permissions.

Forget about pit.
Just flash this one
https://mega.co.nz/#!k1gEzDgQ!nDZe4sVHm9UEeZOaC1UKAxUnoLmQZGYCQ5VLvX6dFag
via odin PDA or AB(if odin 3.09)
THE MOST important that your cable is connected to you PC straight, w/o any usb hubs
If odin fails - change the cable, 99% your cable is bad
and you'll be fine on latest firmware/baseband

This is in the wrong forum.
So i have a samsung s9 SM-G960F/DS version. i had have run TWRP on it and magisk + exposed and it worked fine. i had to uninstall exposed to log into some apps and then i would reinstall it agian. but when i ran the exposed unintaller the phone would not boot. i tryed diffrent things and it would not boot unless it had the exposed intalled on it. i did a complete wipe of the phone with TWRP and now i can´t install stock rom. i downloaded the latest stock ROM for my model and the latest odin that can handle the lz4 compression. bur when i but in BL AP CP CSC it just get stuck on system.img all the time. i there is simply nothing i have not tryed. and nothing works for me. The only think working is if i flash the TWRP then i can boot into recovery TWRP. thats it. i am at a point where i will pay anyone who can help me figure this out cause i almost lost all hope for this to work agian. So i really really hope someone here have an ide to what could work for me. every tip and trick i will test and if someone offer help via discord or somthing i would also be glad to hear from you.
Hi
Extract and flash bootload.img or hidden.img file from the main stock rom.
I'll check the actual file name for you when I get home later. Did experience that problem sometime back on my s6 edge.
Usually there is a small error message on the screen of the s9 if odin fails or stalls. It's small blue text, I have a feeling it's either 'magic string error' or 'SYSTEM not [Sec]' or close to it. I find this happens when flashing the wrong firmware for that model. Example, flashing G960N firmware for a G960F.
I just did a reflash and here are my exact steps for my G960F.
1. Download Odin 3.13.1
2. Make sure Samsung Drivers are installed
3. Grab the latest firmware for your device, my device is a G960F so I just picked the latest BRJ3 firmware with November patch from Updato. Just get the firmware for your exact model.
4. Extract the files from the ZIP file
5. Add all the correct BL, AP, CP and CSC files to odin.
6. Select nand erase
7. Boot S9 into download mode
8. Flash to phone.
Don't try to flash TWRP before installing the full firmwares and until the phone is setup.
If all fails, and because you seem to be able to install TWRP, then you can download TGP Kernel ROM and flash that. It is based on stock G960F firmware, has a nice aroma installer for selecting various things and tweaks. It also provides a clean install of Magisk if that's something you like.
Also be sure to flash no-DM Verify.
Make sure you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader, I'm sick of writing out the same guide each time and I just did it earlier today so shouldn't be hard to find

You should look for samfirm or frija tool . Those would help you get latest firmware for your phone. Download it , flash it with odin and everything should be fine. Just remember that its possible that as you would be on latest firmware, you might not be able to downgrade in future.
Hey guys. Got my ATT fold today and would like to flash the 'unlocked' firmware onto it. I've downloaded the newest ODIN file and the U1 file for firmware. I have my phone in download mode and connected to the PC.
I can launch ODIN and load the files but when I attempt to run the program I get a error message...FAIL SHA256 Is Invalid. If I hit start again I get...Complete Write Operation Failed.
Any help? Thanks.

Are you trying to flash "U1"-firmware to an "U"-device?
THAT's the problem: NOT possible!
actually U1 to U is possible using patched Odin. I just did the conversion using an Odin version that I used for a Note 9 that I had. i can't remember where I got it from but here's a thread that has the same version (per the file name) that I used: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Hello,
Where can I download the firmware?
Edut: found it in another section. Thanks anyways.
Hello people, I am new putting together posts, so I apologize if this should not go like this. Install a custom rom and now I would like to go back to how it was before. I am not sure what I have to look at, or The firmware that I have to download. Thank you very much and greetings.
Flash by odin

Yes, I know I have to flash for Odin. the issue is that I'm not sure which firmware I have to download haha
You have to download the stock firmware, I use samfirm.js you can use other tools though, when you donwload it, you should see 5 MD5 files, you need only 4 of them, the AP, BL, CP and CSC files. Flash them according to their name using odin.
