rooting pro 8.4 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi,
Im having real trouble trying to root my galaxy tab pro 8.4. I just cant get odin to see the tablet or my friends note 3. I have done everything the tutorials say. but not. It doesnt go blue so i cant flash.
I have rooted before but went back to normal rom from sammobile. I would like to root again but just get odin to work. Can anyone help or is there another way to do it.
Thanks

Try another cord? Another computer? Do you have drivers installed? Does your computer recognize your tablet - can you see what is on your internal/external drives?

Tried another cord and computer but yes the pc can see the what's on it etc

What version of Odin are you using? Try re-downloading Odin? Are you running Odin as administrator (right click on Odin icon and select run as administrator)

Tried them all and nothing. Just won't see my galaxy pro tab or note 3.yes right admit.

Did you install Kies 3?
However, you have to close Kies before running Odin.

I have installed kids, and un installed it as I read they conflict

They don't conflict. I rooted my Tab Pro 8.4 with Odin 3.09 while having Kies 3 installed. Maybe when you uninstalled Kies it uninstalled the drivers, too?
I'd reinstall Kies and then reboot. Then try again with Odin.

Cheers, tried all that sees nothing. When the tab is on in odin it shows as com 5 as soon as I put it in recovery mode, nothing. Very odd. Really want to put a custom rom on as I hate touch wiz

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring here - I'm having the exact same problem with a Tab 10.1.
I've tried everything the OP mentions with no success. It just simply seems that Odin (3.7, 3.9. 3.10) is incapable of seeing the tablet on ADB, even though it sees it instantly in normal boot.

Did you start Odin BEFORE connecting your Galaxy S? Did you try rebooting your PC?

Well I would still go with the suggestion to try a different PC.
Otherwise: What version of Windows are you running? Does the driver get installed successfully (can you tell)?
Edit: What version of Kies do you have installed?
I'm using xp, well I have no devices without drivers installed?

Are you in recovery or download mode? If the screen is blue and it says download mode then you're in right spot but if you're in recovery then odin will never see your phone

[SOLVED] Galaxy SIII recovery issue

Hello,
Let me start off by saying if this is the wrong place to post this please inform me of the right forum.
I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy SIII (on August 29) and everything was working really well, until today. Yes it is rooted. I plugged the phone into my computer and Kies said there was a firmware update for my phone. I began doing the upgrade and my beloved windows computer got the blue screen of death during the actual update process.
After restarting my computer, I began to do the update recovery to continue with my upgrade. Same blue screen. I spoke to a rogers tech rep and he requested I re-install my Kies software, which I did. Upon having no success from that I began to do more research, however most of them are saying to reflash the stock firmware (which I have) using ODIN. I have no success here as well. Every time i do get into download/recovery mode, ODIN recognizes my phone, but fails when i click start.
In my recovery mode the information i see is as follows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Is there anything at all I can do to fix this? Or am I one of those most unfortunate people who just got screwed lol.
ANY assistance is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Thanks in advance
If you have clockwork recovery, try formatting the system first then flash the ROM. Just dont reboot without flashing the ROM first.
Have you tried the emergency firmware load through KIES?

thank you for the quick reply! sorry for my late one, just got home from a family emergency...
no I don't have CWM.. I'm very familiar with it though I didn't put it on my SIII (i was planning to do so tonight)
I've tried the emergency firmware, however it asked for a code which I don't have :S
I'm new to Samsung's version of Android, previously I owned an Xperia X10
Try running Odin on a different computer
If you're using a desktop use the usb ports on the back Odin don't like the usb hub on front, or try different computers, I have one computer that Odin will never work on but I go right to my other one and works fine, try restarting pc or uninstall Odin and download a different version, also try downloading a few different roms try these below, I've been in that position then finally after trying and trying a Rom will finally take

Mobile Odin Pro on N7105 - Cannot Detect Device Error

Hi
My "search" has led me to using ChainFire's recent CF-Auto-Root approach to ensure stock recovery, and purchasing Mobile Odin Pro 3.5.
I saw that SGN2 LTE or GT-N7105 is supported, but after installing, I tried running it several times w/o success. Each time, it ends up with 'Cannot Detect Device' error.
Can anyone advise?
Background: I was using CWM with rooting. I'm assuming that with the CF-Auto-Root approach, there is no issue.
Thanks.

Un-and reinstall the app and reboot, then try again. It should support the N7105.
So far unsuccessful

Looks ok now
Just an update.
I did TA just in case, then re-flashed the stock firmware, applied CF-Auto-Root, and now Mobile Odin Pro has installed itself. All within 5min.
I will look again at trying Pimp My Rom via Mobile Odin Pro. This is to optimise the phone thru the kernel n hardware.
ALso, to explore other things, before (ever) a successful custom rom is out.
Thanks anyway.
Issue with running Pimp My Rom based on Mobile Odin Pro
Just an update:
PMP is actually interactive requiring many user selections. When I tried to run it from Mobile Odin Pro, the phone screen display was flickering rapidly making it difficult to carry out selections.
Phone is working.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Another update:
I went thru the process of flashing CWM which then allows for PMR as per (its) normal. Then re-did CF-Auto-Root and TriangleAway .. just to make sure.
Phone is fine. I presume I hv stock recovery (mode), as well as having done PMR to tweak the system (aka kernel/hardware).
Question/Remark: maybe more commonly - Mobile Odin Pro would still run with custom recovery, and do the things that it should do.
Comments are welcome to share views or educate me. Thanks

Odin Fails to flash my device

Hi Everyone, I actually have a SGH-I317m (Rogers Note 2), but thought I would post here since this gets more traffic.
I have been having constant problems with Odin trying to flash files to my Note 2.
Currently using the factory Samsung USB cable, disconnecting any other USB devices connected (BT gamepad) to my computer, and being sure to run Odin as "Administrator" in Windows 7 (64bit).
I've used the recommended Odin 1.85 as well as the latest Odin 3.x, with the newest release being somewhat more reliable.
Basically I've grown too paranoid to try and flash custom roms, and even the root package to my phone in fear of a permanent soft brick. KIES failed to update my phone to stock 4.3, so I then used Odin to flash it. I recently tried to flash a root package, which failed every time, then my stock image, which failed about 14 out of 15 tries. Once the Stock ROM flashed successfully, I breathed a sigh of relief and gave up.
Is there something specific that could be causing Odin to fail so consistantly? My phone is stock 4.3,recovery, unrooted, with locked bootloader and SIM.
I've seen recommendations that a Factory Reset be performed after flashing a new ROM, which I have not done. What is the logic behind this?
I'd be willing to try, but without root (aka without Titanium BackUp) a Wipe is not ideal. That being said, if I put all these flashing issues behind me, I'd happily give it a try.
I am curious to try Mobile Odin as well, which of course requires root.
The fact that both Odin and Kies failed to flash my device is curious. I'd like some suggestions on how to proceed.
I'd be happy not flashing custom ROMs, however I do feel that root access is a requirement for my usage.
Anyone?

search for newest samsung mobile usb driver... make sure its the latest one and download it
uninstall the good for nothing kies software... reboot your pc and install the samsung mobile usb driver.
then connect your device and let windows reinstall the driver....
then try odin again.
Thanks. I ditched Kies once it failed to flash my device, then failed to recover it.
I will try reinstalling the driver. The one I have installed likely came from the "Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit", which hasn't been updated awhile.
I will try and report back.

Interesting. Samsung's Canadian site does not have USB drivers, and the US version doesn't include my model... I will keep digging.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
Ok, I've resolved my issues and will post here for others should they have the same. My issue was caused by usb drivers. Uninstall Kies, and any Samsung drivers you may have installed. Reboot your pc, and install the latest Samsung drivers from here, for your device.
http://m.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I317TSAATT
After, plug in your phone, and let Windows install what it needs. Then proceed with Odin as normal.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

Problems with USB in download mode

Hello I'm new to T-Mobile and have been looking forward to rooting my note 3. I've been reading as much as I can and finally felt ready to go. I started Odin loaded the .tar file and put my phone in download mode. But when I plug it in to my laptop it never shows up in Odin. Also I don't get the usual two tones from my laptop when plugging in a USB device, instead I get three tones., and then nothing happens.
Is this a driver issue, I didn't think I needed to install drivers for the note 3.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, most likely a driver issue. Go to Samsung's website, and get the latest ones and you should be good.
Yep that's exactly what it was. Happy to say I'm now rooted and running a custom rom! Thanks!
