Root Odin Help

[XLS125]

Every time I put a file into the PDA section of Odin (4.03) I get an error message saying, "Invalid Image Type". I have tried several different files and even a different computer and i get the same message. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

What is the name/file type you are attempting to load in Odin?

What is the name/file type you are attempting to load in Odin?

The name of the file is DI01package3.tar.tar
It is the package to flash the fascinate back to stock.

Yep...I have that file and mine is .tar.md5 and loadsbfine in Odin, just confirmed. I would suggest d/l again from the link below as it shows there with the .md5 ext.

I flashed a .tar.tar file last night. Mine was the dl09. If it came from adryn it fine. I also flash dj05 which was .tar.md5

sounds just like a bad/corrupt download to me

Do I download the file on to my sdcard? Then power off the power, hold down the down volume button and plug in the usb cable? When I did that, a yellow triangle appeared on my screen and at the bottom it says downloading, do not turn off target.

Or after I download the file, do I need to click on the file? For some reason it's not promting me for Odin.

Thanks

for odin

1. make sure you have the sammy drivers installed
2. download odin, and the file you want to push to a file somewhere on ur comp you ll remember where it is
3. put the phone in d/l mode (power off hold volume down and plug in usb) you ll have the yellow triangle thing
4. open odin on ur desktop and load the file under pda
5. hit start
6. let it run
7. profit

The file I just downloaded did not work either. I got the same error message. Is there anything else that I could be doing wrong??

"Invalid Image Type"

 

[nitsuj17]

i suppose renaming it to .tar.md5 *might* work...but personally it went through for me under .tar.tar so idk

maybe someone else does
