Hi Guys,

I have not really been active as much as I would like in this thread, but I have some questions to ask with regards to Mobile Odin.

Let's say that after updating my firmware with PC Odin, I then rooted my phone using Chainfire's Auto Root. As a result, I will be left with stock recovery. I read Uncle Benny's posts about overcoming this disadvantage of having stock recovery by making use of Mobile Odin to flash the TWRP img.tar file.

My questions are, are you only limited to flashing TWRP with the img.tar file, or can you still install TWRP if you downloaded the .zip file?

I know in Mobile Odin, there are 2 'options' to open the file. 'OTA/Update ZIP' and 'Open File'. Based on common sense (hahaha), the img.tar file needs to be opened using the 'Open File' option, while the .zip file needs to be opened using the 'OTA/Update ZIP' option. What I did for mine is that I chose the 'OTA/Update ZIP' option and chose the TWRP zip file that I downloaded, and install from there.

It works, but I noticed my Mobile Odin will be 'gone' after the phone reboots. By gone, it means that it's not showing as 'Mobile Odin' in my applications drawer, but it is showing as 'eu.chainfire.somethingsomething' with a green Android icon hahaha. This is usually no issue for me, since I'll just restore my Mobile Odin via Titanium Backup.

However, to set my mind at ease, I need to ask about the 'Everroot' section inside Mobile Odin. If you are only installing a .zip file like this TWRP, do you tick all 3 options under 'Everroot'?

Based on Dr Ketan's guide, you do not have to choose 'Inject Mobile Odin', so I am wondering if there are implications in selecting all 3 choices under Everroot, or leaving the last option (Inject Mobile Odin) unchecked?

Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to be as specific as I can (>_<)

Thank you so much for this! I will never again use the 'lazy man' method of just flashing the zip files directly haha.

Uncle Benny, after you flashed Chainfire's auto root, you used Mobile Odin to install TWRP. When you flashed TWRP, did you choose any of the selections under 'Everroot', or did you just leave everything un-checked?

Ok, stupid question here. How do I flash the modem ya? (>_<)

Ok, with help from joytest, I managed to change my modem from DXDLK5 to UBDMB1. I ran a speed test with it, and this is the result:



This is the first time I'm getting this kind of speed at home. Although I wonder how some of our users here (alex, if I'm not mistaken) manage to get close to 12Mbps. However, I notice that the connection fluctuates between H and H+, and this sometimes causes delays in receiving messages on my WhatsApp. I will always have to update my Twitter to utilize the data, then only the delayed messages will be received =/

Pantai Dalam, that's near Kerinchi right? So in a way, it's also near Bangsar South. That's where I work at. Maxis' 3G reception is bad in my office though, straight away the connection will turn to 'E'. However, as soon as I go to the lobby, it'll go up to H+ again.

I do notice though that when there are not many people in the office, I will get H+. That's just plain weird haha.


Will try later Probably at home because of the crappy reception here in my office.


I'm on Maxis too, and being in TTDI, I thought the reception should be better haha.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are downloading the file from your PC / Laptop, right? (>_<)

I thought so
Also, that kind of speed is a little impossible to be achieved via mobile phones haha.

Seriously? That's pretty sweet!

One of my colleagues in the office only manage to get around 17Mbps with LTE. He's on iphone though

That settles it. So tempted with a LTE capable phone now hahah

This is pretty nifty. This is going to be very useful in meetings.

Thanks for this!

Yup, got that for mine some time last month too

Me using stock ROM only haha.
