Sorry to be a pain but how do I flash Odin? Never flashed or rooted before thanks.

1. Open the "Odin307" folder and right click on "Odin3 v3.07.exe" and choose run as

administrator. Odin will open.
2. place your phone into download mode. Turn off phone - press and hold volume down, home

button and power button at the same time. When you see the warning push the volume up
button to continue.

3. Plug your usb cord to your phone and computer and wait until you see any number and com
in the com

4. Check the PDA block and browse to the tar file you would like to flash.

5. that settings are correct for what you are doing

6. If everything looks okay, click on the start button in Odin.

Note: Full image tar files are very large and can take as long as 15 minutes to complete. Smaller files such as recoveries normally only takes 10 to 20 seconds.

When the phone leaves download mod and starts to reboot you can remove the usb cord.
