Odin Cannot Flash Stock Firmware - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Hello, I am using Odin v3.13.3
My phone was running with latest Ukraine firmware which is:
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 ap
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 bl
A705FNXXU3ASH1 cp
A705FNOXM3ASJ3 csc
Today I wanted to format it and decided to do it via Odin. But it stuck at system.img. So I tried to flash the firmware which was just before the newest one. And Odin flashed it with success.
I also had the same problem when I tried to install that older firmware a few months ago till I found Odin with version 3.13.3
So, What do I need to do, I couldn't find a newer Odin. Is there any other problem. How can I flash the latest firmware via Odin?
Thanks ^^

where is home csc,there is only 4 but must have 5 to flash...

It's same as csc, if you flash home csc it doesn't wipe. If you flash only CSC, it wipes your phone. You select one of them, you can't flash both.
And as you see, I succesfully flashed an older firmware. The problem is that odin can't flash the newest firmware.

[Q] N7100 from China - can not change firmware

I bought N7100 in China, but it does not support all google services, even I have problem to log into samsung account, can not instal another language than Chinese, Korean and English.
Originally it was in 4.1.1.
I downloaded several stock firmwares 4.1.2 from sammobile, but it does want to go with odin. (phone goes in the mode informing about unsucessfull update).
Fortunatelly I flashed it with chinese 4.1.2 firmware, but now I am again at the beginning, and what is more it shows still 4.1.1 version in settings>about.
Anyone can help what to do to change software version for my language?
(I have read a lot what I found in google, I tried several times with odin and different files for different european regions - and nothing)
The Chinese phones have a locked bootloader so I have heard. Unless you unlock it, no amount of Odin flashing will work.
Beamed from Jupiter on my Galaxy Note II
any idea how to solve this?
I saw some post about verizon note2 unblocking but I do not know if possible to follow with chinese version, and what is more it looks quite complicated..
SOLUTION:

The problem with these chinese phones is the modified bootloader, so you can't install other firmwares then chinese with odin.
The solution is: flash the phone with a chinese firmware or CWM recovery
When the phone is restored you need first to root the phone via odin and then install mobile odin. With mobile odin you can install a new firmware. The thing is, mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader so it does also work with your chinese phones.

Hi. I have posted a complete step by step instructions as how to flash India Android 4.3 firmware on Chinese N7100. Just search for it and follow the steps. You will be successful.

I succesfully rooted and installed customed firmware last year when I got my n7100 from China. I used Odin but do not remember how I did it. Then I can flash any rom. However, when I try to upgrade to 4.3 custom rom recently, almost all 4.3 romance require flashing a Wi-Fi fix by Odin. I can install most roms smoothly. But Wi-Fi won't work. And when I flash the Wi-Fi fix by Odin, always fail, no matter whose Wi-Fi fix package and which version of Odin. Not sure if this is boot loader issue, just remember I saw error message about boot loader. And usually when I flash rom, I can see "cannot find boot loader, skipped". Now I cannot use any 4.3 romance as I cannot make Wi-Fi work.

Read my quoted text again: The problem with these chinese phones is the modified bootloader, so you can't install other firmwares then chinese with odin.
Install the chinese 4.3 from sammobile and then the bootlader is up to date and ready for ROMs.
is there anyway to change chinese bootloader

Need help on ODIN flash

Guys
My mobile model is SM-N750 (Indian edition).
I have successfully flashed stock firmware thru ODIN earlier. Recently I changed my firmware to Pakistan from Sammobile.
Now I like to go back to Indian firmware, however it is failing again & again. I am though successfully able to flash Pakistan firmware again.
Phone is working properly but cant go back to Indian firmware.
Please check.
I know how to flash in ODIN. This is something diff.
1- Try another source of odin, same version but another source
2- Try flashing the firmware more than once, it will work in one of them
3- Try different firmware and see if it worker, then the problem is with the firmware
4- Make sure the files are for your mobile version
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 3 firmware files. No luck.
I think I guess what is the issue. Pak firmware version is higher than Indian firmware version. So the bootloader has been changed. That is the reason it is not allowing to install a lower bootloader firmware.
I hope once sammobile will have KK firmware downloadable I would be able to flash that.
I am successfully able to flash Indian Kitkat ROM from Sammobile.
So the point to be noted...You can not go back to old firmware once you upgraded to new one.

Baseband won't update 4.2.2 to 4.4.2

Hi
I have a GT-I9195 with Android 4.2.2 xxxUBML4 baseband and buildnumber. If I update the device by Kies or flash it by Odin, everything works fine, except the baseband won't be updated, it is still baseband xxxUBML4 instead if xxxUCNH5 installed. So the Wifi doesn't work.
Even if I flash the modem itself by heimdall, it is still the old baseband installed, why? I have a Riff JTAG bridge, should I try to flash it directly?
My second device update worked fine.
Regards

semi-normal .... use modem.bin and make it .tar.md5 using tar md5 packer tool and flash 2 times using ODIN in CP section not ap
Thanks, I did an intermediate step and flashed xxUCNH3 first and then xxUCNH5 and now it works... strange
Got another device, I followed your hint, flashed the modem even two times but still no success. I flashed it back to the previous version and back again, even Kies does not work.
Is this firmware or the device corrupt? Have downloaded the firmware from sammobile
Update:
It seems that the modem is not release after a restart and can't be update. If I shutdown the mobile and remove the battery, the next modem download works.

baseband imei unknown - tried virtually every modem out there - help

Hi everyone,
I know this problem is well known and solved many times already, but I'm not being able to solve it by myself. This is why I'm posting this thread as a last resort to try and get some help, just in case i missed something..
My phone is currently with unknown baseband and IMEI on stock 4.4.2 flashed via kies recovery. If I try to flash any 4.4.4 port ROM the phone locks up seconds after boot, it will only work with stock rom. I already tried a few modems i found on another threads but no success.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

from sammobile, download newest firmware for your region and unpack it from stock rom and then pack it with 7zip to tar file and flash it with Odin.
you need sboot and modem

Isn't that a bit pointless? Maybe I'm missing the point, but if I already have flashed latest firmwares from both sammobile and kies, it kind of makes the point that modem and bootloader files from sammobile don't solve the problem, right?
Thanks.

Well truly doesnt seem pointless
I got my baseband resolved (Previously showed 'Unknown') by flashing pure stock rom (got from SamMobile) THROUGH ODIN so might be there is a point.
Try stock rom flashing from odin as according to me stock rom has everything in it radio(Baseband),boot(efs), system, etc etc
The unknown baseband and imei can be due to a modem and bootloader mismatch.
To confirm the bootloader and modem on the phone, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store to confirm the version.

Uninstalling OneUI beta.

Hello,
I recently sideloaded the new OneUI beta ( https://www.xda-developers.com/install-one-ui-beta-samsung-galaxy-s9-galaxy-s9-plus/ ) and would like to know how I could reverse this process.

Flash back to the Oreo firmware with ODIN... guides are all over XDA and sammobile
Since it's sideloaded I'm not sure if it will work but the latest version of Smart Switch for Windows has an option to roll back the OTA's to Oreo.
I am in the same position as the op. I have the rom I need to flash. Should I flash all components including bl, csc, ap etc or just ap? Smart Switch doesn't allow me to roll back. Cheers.

All, flash the same way you would any time, and use CSC not HOME_CSC
Hi all. Is it possible to roll back using smart switch for Mac? I don't have access to a Windows PC, so if it's not possible to roll back using the Mac version, is there any other way apart from Odin?
I have successfully gone back to Oreo. UK rom from updato. Odin 3.13.1 Flashed bl, ap, cp and csc (not csc home). I had the latest smart switch installed but no option to go back to Oreo in it. Thanks for advice on here.

ODIN 3.12?
ODIN 3.13.1 was needed for Oreo
Oops my bad. 3.13.1
You can with odin. Tested by me and many others.
