Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 nothings ever simple mate, downloading the cooper file, it is a text file not a .ops file, even though it's called Cooper_v1.0.ops so therefor i can't load it into the odin as it's not an ops file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 also, does my phone need to be turned on, off, or in download mode etc? or doesnt it matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You downloaded the 5830I firmware, from Sammobile , thats the firmware it will install, all the guide is showing is the basic steps needed. The Cooper V1.0.OPS is a required file for ODIN You follow Step A , missing out Step B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Click on the Cooper.OPS text in the guide , and use the Password to unlock mediafire download , password is also in the guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I know mate this is what i'm doing i've got the odin from the guide, i've got the relevant firmware from sammobile, i've followed the steps in the guide n i'm ready to do it. but the download of the cooper file appears to be wrong as it downloads as a .txt file, not a .ops file so i can not load it into odin i've used the password also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It downloaded as an OPS file for me , all i did then was rightclick on it and UNLOCK it under properties as its a windows Shell file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 i think something really doesnt want me to have a phone now.. i've downloaded the odin from the guide, i have the correct tar file, i now have the cooper i configured everything as in the guide, then the second i add the tar file, this happens: i open odin again, do it all again, load the tar file n this happens: had to use task manager to close odin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 i'm really sorry about all this Paul mate honestly you must be as frustrated as me if i manage to get all this working, only for it to still be broken, i will personally deliver it to you myself n also provide you with a sledge hammer n chainsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Maybe you need to reboot free up memory , you did follow the guide about when to turn phone off and put it into download mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Odin has to be started before you connect the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Goto www.teamviewer.com , download and install the windows version as personal use , then open it and then PM me your ID and Password , it is a remote assistance viewer save a little time.

Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 will do that now. could the tar file from sammobile be wrong? i havent even connected the phone to the laptop yet. i open odin, tick the relevant boxes, open the cooper file, by opening the cooper file this unticks the one package button, so i tick it again and open the tar file. as soon as i open the tar, odin crashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Not installed it for a while , just need to be for personal use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 it asks 'do you later want to remote access the computer you are installing teamviewer on at the moment?' default answer is no, n it says it will generate a random password that i'd tell you, n it changes everytime i open teamviewer or if i do yes, i set a predefined password for my laptop so i can access it from anywhere. just leave it as no?
