Root Odin stuck on sbl.bin

A normal stock flash with Odin takes ~3 minutes.

The SBL and Boot files have to do with the Bootloader. This is a really nasty area to get stuck at - If your phone doesn't reboot anymore (goes black, doesn't power on), then you are hard bricked - There is no simple fix for this.

I always sigh with relief every time ODIN gets past that during the flash to stock process.
