Can you show me all your files after extract?

 

[Sean311]

The folders where I extracted the files are at the top, I tried selecting those in Odin but it doesn't show any files that are compatible with Odin when I click on the folders, the only thing I could see that worked were the original files which are MD5 files.

Clear odin , in the option box choose reboot bootloader. The white files grab and drag to corresponding slots

 

[Sean311]

I don't see a reboot bootloader option in the above section under Options.

Reboot download button

To grab and drag you have to minimize both odin and file window side by side

 

[Sean311]

Rebooted Odin, opened file window and dragged and dropped all files, hit reboot bootloader and then start and got the attached failure.

Try different USB port in the computer repeat with reboot download and loading files again

 

[mustang7757]

You put the phone in download mode?

 

[Sean311]

Tried it on 3 different ports and getting the same failed message. Any ideas?

 

[Sean311]

On the phone it has "USB controlled by" and then under it has "use USB for" either transferring files, USB tethering, MIDI, transferring images and charging phone only.

No ,
Restart the phone before the screen turns on hold volume down/bixby/power button same time choose continue now your in download mode

Critical mistake lol thanks for that. It is in the process of downloading onto the phone. Assuming this works as it should, going forward for new security patches can I just update directly on the phone or does it need to be manually downloaded like this every time? Again thank you so much you are a lifesaver my friend
