[Release] JOdin3 CASUAL Cross Platform and Web-Based Flashing For Samsung Phones

[afsalMcqueen]

Probably not. It's to old to run on a current system (at least, it doesn't run on any fairly recent version of Linux).
Better to use the latest Odin (without J). If you need, set up a virtual machine. Or you could use heimdal (command line tool on Linux, Mac). That's more complicated for a full ROM but more convenient for a single partition.

Jodin works fine with Ubuntu 20.04 after Updating heimdall to latest version 1.4.2 using "sud apt install heimdall-flash" .

Nice to know. On my Manjao installation it didn't, but I didn't try hard.

On Manjaro , you need to get the latest Heimdall version (1.4.2 ) from Arch Packages . The Heimdall version given in its official site seems to be old and not working with any modern linux . Installing latest Heimdall from the distro's official respiratory will solve the issues .

umm,wow this tools still work, successfully flash TWRP for Samsung a3 2016
archlinux 5.8.rc2 kernel, all you need is installing Heimdall and android-udev packages

Cannot convert the stock firmware file into tar.md5 on myacbook air. After unzip, tar.md5 suddenly appear as a folder containing 6 files.

Look it up on Google. There are some cli arguments you could use to fix that, but I'm no expert at Java arguments.

I'm currently suffering the same problem.

Have used JAVA_OPTIONS and _JAVA_OPTIONS and neither seem to have any effect.

It picks them up because I see in the console:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx8096m

/ | CASUAL is handling this system as:Linux 32 bit, Linux -- End Diag

However, as you can also see it seems to detect the system as 32bit, which I suspect won't allow the memory to be set above 1024m

It is a 64 bit system with 32gb RAM, but I wonder if having multilib libraries installed (mainly for wine) confuses it.

I have downloaded different versions of java as well, then set them at start of PATH as well as set JAVA_HOME, _JAVA_HOME, JAVA_OPTS to values to match, everything still detects as 32 bit.

java is showing as 64bit:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx8096m
java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

That was the downloaded version but get the same with the installed java 14 too.

I've also tried running direct as a jar file but still detects as linux 32 bit.

I'd look in the source to find out what it's doing, but can't seem to find the source anywhere.

Also tried flashing with heimdall (and frontend) after extracting the tarballs (I'm trying to flash stock 6.0 firmware) but can't seem to get the magic right. Keep getting errors in the bootloader screen when it starts.

On OSX you can try my patched version: https://github.com/plaili/android-casual/blob/master/dist/JOdin3CASUAL-0.9.0-osx-incl-JavaFX.zip

Hi,
I'm using Linux Mint 20 (5.8.0-28-generic),
After using libusb-dev and manually setting USB udev-rules, I finally managed to get PIT using Heimdal, but JOdin fails with this;

CASUALroot-2021-05-22-18.44.14/ElevateScript.sh: 2: flash: not found
Device Connected

Any advice on that? Thanks

I am very happy jOdin3 does work on arch linux. I am suprised that even have an active AUR package which does work well. However i am having a problem but i do not know what is causing. i am having an old Nokia cable as original Samsung cable lost long time ago. On Windows10&11 does work odin after Samsung driver succesfully installed. But jodin3 does not. It does recognize the phone com however it does not give com number. meaning for me jodin did not recognized the usb port properly. if i plug or remove the cable- added or removed- does work. But every flashing attempt will Fail. Same cable i use on windows and jodin3. Any idea why does not work on jodin3 ?

 

[mrrocketdog]

wait , wait , wait ; @tyler19820201 , you sure its not @ Tyler Durden? lol

 

[mrrocketdog]

@AdamOutler , dang ; still here ? i'm going to have to put you on my "follow" list.
glad youre still hanging out. thanks for your help in many many ways/things/projects.:good:

 

[mikelygee]

Possibly a dumb question, but I haven't found any documentation for JOdin3, or posts explaining this.

Odin3 allows one to specify files to be loaded to BL, AP, CP, CSC, and USERDATA. JOdin3 gives me choices of Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC and UMS (which is greyed out). What do these mean, and why are they different? More to the point, which do I use to install TWRP to my tablet (Galaxy Tab A, SM-T510)?

 

[mrrocketdog]

hey @AdamOutler , hoping all is well with you and yours. thank you for such long-term dedication to xda and "us" users.
