OFFICIAL Samsung Odin v4 1.2.1-dc05e3ea - For Linux

Running

odin4 -h

like you already have shows you how to use the command. What exactly are you trying to do with it? (Flash, etc.) Let me know and I'll help you achieve the desired result.

What extracted? I pasted odin4 in /usr/local/bin. In bin I can't open Terminal.

It could be started from any directory, even your home dir.

According to his screenshots, it appears that @ZmisiS has already installed odin4, and is simply unsure of how to use it.

to me, it looks like he cant execute the binary, for which my advice was to make it executable first

That's what I originally thought too, but after looking more in-depth at his screenshot I saw that he had been able to run "odin4 -h" successfully.

I don't know how to use this. For example when I want to install ROM, TWRP, etc.

run odin4 -h

will give you help. only thing it takes is to read

My English is not good. I use translator. I can't really understand everything.

 

[Virnik0]

are you telling me that the help the binary provides isn't clear?

 

[ZmisiS]

I see the marks -d; -l; -v; and the like. I see the marks for AP, BL, CSC... I get: command not found. Phone is in Download mode.

 

[Virnik0]

use what is in example

How to use?

 

[Virnik0]

Extract the firmware zip, which will produce AP, BL, CP, CSC tarballs. (tar archives).

then call:
odin4 -a APtarball -b BLtarball....

again, it is printed in your terminal as help. Just read it. I am quite surprised that you managed toinstall and configure your desktop, when you have a problem with this

I know for extract. I did that on Windows. AP_G973FXXSGHWA3_CL25257816_QB61057831_REV01_user_low_ship_meta_OS12.tar. I'm not going to write all this down, am I?

I switched from Windows to Linux 2 or 3 weeks ago. To install this I found help on several sites on the Internet. I know what I need to do, but I don't know how.

 

[Virnik0]

understood, but you also fail to explain what are you trying to do and what doesn't work

 

[ZmisiS]

understood, but you also fail to explain what are you trying to do and what doesn't work

For example, I want to install Stock ROM. I open the phone in Download Mode. I want to select AP, BL, CP and CSC. No matter what I type in the Terminal, it doesn't work. I get the message Command not found. If I were to type, what should I do to start the ROM installation? I need a description of how to do it.

Yes, because while you've put the binary to a directory (I think it was /usr/local/bin, right?), you have to either provide full path to the binary (so you'll flash by running /usr/local/bin/odin4), or export /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable.

So, let's assume your odin4 binary is in /usr/local/bin, where I also put it on my system:

virnik@Mainframe:~/Práce/GalaxyS7$ which odin4
/usr/local/bin/odin4
virnik@Mainframe:~/Práce/GalaxyS7$ echo $PATH
/home/virnik/.bin:/opt/wine-git/bin:/home/virnik/.bin:/opt/wine-git/bin:/home/virnik/.bin:/opt/wine-git/bin:/opt/wine-git/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/virnik/.dotnet/tools
virnik@Mainframe:~/Práce/GalaxyS7$

As you can see, my odin4 is in /usr/local/bin, and I Have exported /usr/local/bin to my PATH. You can do it too. Run this:

tee -a ~/.profile > /dev/null <<EOT
# set PATH so it includes /usr/local/bin
if [ -d "/usr/local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
fi
EOT

This will add path of /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable. I am using ~/.profile file, which is loaded first time you logon. Now you can either logoff, or just 'source' the file, so the change become effective. This is one command! Copy everything starting by 'tee' and ending by last EOT, and paste to your terminal. Then run this:

. ~/.profile

The dot at the beginning is important! It will load this change to your profile.

Now, you should be able to use odin4 regardless of your current directory. Try it:

cd ~/
which odin4
(should print: /usr/local/bin/odin4)

OK, so now you should be able to use odin4, so try to use it to flash the phone. Connect your phone over USB in Download mode, and enter the directory where you've extracted firmware tarballs. I am not certain whether odin4 understands *.md5 files being just tarballs, if not, rename your firmware files to remove md5 suffix (leaving just .tar), and flash. Bellow example is from flashing Galaxy S7, but the principle is the same (I used it on Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S22):

odin4 -b BL_G930FXXU8EVG3_CL19497840_QB54396082_REV00_user_low_ship.tar -a AP_G930FXXU8EVG3_CL19497840_QB54396082_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar -c CP_G930FXXU8ETI2_CP16784499_CL19497840_QB34227861_REV00_user_low_ship.tar -s CSC_ETL_G930FETL8ETI3_CL19818482_QB34666376_REV00_user_low_ship.tar

It is this:


It is in /home/mandak/Downloads. Should I type this in Terminal and then Enter? Then AP, BL, CP and CSC? When everything is entered, is it just necessary to press Enter for Start or...?

I tried install and I get notification: cannot find device.
