How to Create Odin Flashable Patched Vbmeta for Samsung

In this guide, we will show you the steps to create a patched vbmeta file for your Samsung device that you can flash via Odin. Generally, to flash a patched vbmeta, you can add the disable-verity or/and the disable-verification parameters and then flash it via Fastboot Command: fastboot –disable-verity –disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img. However, there are two issues with this, especially in Samsung devices.

First off, most Samsung devices lack a Fastboot Mode. And secondly, we need a patched vbmeta file to flash via Odin; you cannot simply use the stock vbmeta file and then flash it because Odin wouldn’t do the conversion on its own. So what else can be done? Well, in this guide, we will show you the steps to manually make this file, which can then be flashed via Odin. So without any further ado, let’s get started.

  1. To begin with, download the stock firmware for your device. It should be of the same version whose vbmeta file you want.
  2. Usually, it’s from the firmware that is installed on your device. In that case, you can download the firmware corresponding to your device’s Build Number.
  3. Now download the LZ4 extraction tool from the link below (Source: GitHub ) lz4_win32_v1_9_3.zip : 32-Bit Windows lz4_win64_v1_9_3.zip : 64-Bit Windows
  4. Extract the tool and then transfer the vbmeta.img.lz4 file to the tool’s lz4.exe file. This will give you the vbmeta.img file.
  5. Now download and install Python [check Add Python to Path in the setup screen. Also, keep a note of the installation path.]
  6. Then download the vbmeta Patch Script and transfer it to the Python installation directory. Also, transfer the vbmeta.img to the same Python folder.
  7. Now open Command Prompt inside the platform-tools and type in the below command to patch the Samsung vbmeta.img file: python patch-vbmeta.py vbmeta.img
  8. The file will now be patched, but it will still be in the IMG format. So convert it to TAR using our guide to make it Odin compatible.
  9. You can now load it to Odin’s Userdata slot along with the required file and flash it.
