: Ensure the device's "OEM Unlock" is enabled in Developer Options and that the device is not in a "Prenormal" state. Verify Odin Version : Use the latest version of the Odin Flash Tool

In the context of the tool, RQT_CLOSE stands for "Request Close". It is not necessarily a catastrophic error but a log message showing that the connection session was terminated before the flashing process could finish successfully. This often occurs when the device's bootloader rejects the incoming data for security reasons or due to a hardware disconnection. Common Causes for the RQT_CLOSE Error

Sometimes a specific version of Odin is buggy with a specific phone model.

Before attempting to flash custom elements, make sure the operating system allows manual system modifications:

is a critical connection error that occurs when the Samsung Odin flashing software abruptly loses communication with an Android device during a firmware update.

Unset or broken ROS_MASTER_URI or ROS_IP variables can cause rqt to lose connection mid-shutdown. When the user closes the GUI, rqt tries to send a goodbye message to the master, fails, and outputs an odin rqtclose (since Odin initiated the session).

Communication travels from the computer over a USB interface to the phone using Samsung's specialized "Thor" or "Loke" protocols. The desktop client splits large firmware tarballs into individual partition files ( boot.img , system.img , recovery.img ) and streams them directly into the phone’s volatile memory before committing them to the storage chip.
