So I wanna root my phone using CWM3, and I know I have the drivers installed on my computer, but every time I run the root, it says the phone isn't connected. Sometimes it'll take me to the part where it says "running exploit," but it just hangs there for forever. Any help? Tried on two different computers already.

Done and done, and still nothing. Tried on both my Win 7 laptop and Win XP desktop
I've been having this problem too for the past few weeks. Nothing works. I tried to Odin back to the prerootedEC05deo.tar and I get to CWM 2.5 but can't flash any ROMS cuz they say in the OPs not to use this method. Anytime I run one click root it says arm5 bin missing. I've had my phone rooted since the beginning with much ease but not recently. I've tried all the steps here and on every other forum with no luck. Id appreciate any help in this matter. TIA
OP: get a non-stock cable.
Poster above: disable your AV, redownload the one-click, and run it.

I've been at this for awhile and anything I try doesn't work. I used the SDK & PdaNet drivers on Win-7 x64, none have worked at all. "Offline" will only show twice after pressing recovery, I even used the vid posted by Kingofroyo and it didn't work either. I tried 2 sd cards also, adb works on my rooted g1 perfectly but the slide wont work in recovery mode. I used the guide by Eugene and followed every step but loop is the problem.
I dont think the sd is the problem or the drivers. You probably are missing a step somewhere. I have rooted the slide 3 times and the incredible (with the impossible root method) 4 times. It isnt a driver problem. Not putting you down but i have done every method.
Can you explain step by step what ou are doing?

I had the same problem but I have xp. Mine would show up only twice. My advise to u is not to use the loop method. I had to type adb devices manually. Once it has been type u can press the up arrow key and it will put the command back in for u all u have to do is press enter. I did that and once it shows offline the second time stop doing that and move on to the other steps. I'll be honest it takes good timing good luck.

Same for me, it shows it twice only then that's it...loop is to quick for me to catch it, since it flashes pretty quick.
U will have to try the manual method then. My wife's slide the loop worked perfect I was done in 5mins. Once u get the manual method down it will be cake from there.

I'm gonna ask my bro to pull it so i can keep typing adb devices, it shows offline about 4-5 secs after pressing reboot.
I hade the same problem but what worked for me was to listen to the usb notification sound on your pc. It beeps (on mine at least) like 3 times. This served as a warning to get ready to hit ctrl-c. I personally hold down ctrl as soon as I hit the power button on my phone. As soon as you see the loop stutter the next one will be offline. Hit c! Then y. Then adb devices. You should see offline (or sometimes already recovery) then you can unplug/plug and go on with the steps. Hope that helps.

Ok try this "remove your sim card" it worked for me for some reason the sim card has something to do with the ability to cache the state of the device possibly do to it checking for a sim lock or something.
Also have patience its all about timing the loop.bat is by far the easiest way.

Hello all,
This is my first post to XDA and I'm having some serious issues. I have searched eveywhere to try and find an answer but with no luck. I was trying to install chris41 odin efo2plus rom/kernel, and odin froze at modem.bin. I didn't know what to do. I unplugged the usb cable, pulled the battery and tried again. However, this time it froze at factory.fs being installed. I am using the new ODIN (1.82). I have tried running as admin, running in xp sp2 compatibility mode with admin, I've changed USB ports, and even changed USB cables, although I've never had a problem with ODIN and the Palm Pre cable that I've been using. I'm stuck. My phone won't boot, and I can't get it to ODIN anything. Even tried to ODIN DI18 stock, and still freezes at factory.fs. I was on Bonsai with EXT4, and chris41's rom is RFS. Don't know if that has anything to do with it? I am completely confused. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Just keep trying bro... if it worked before it'll work again Odin is just fussy...

Try running it without the battery in the phone. Open Odin plug phone in without battery and then go into download mode. Put your files in appropriate place and run Odin with only auto reboot checked. I have three epics and one of them will actually not work at all in Odin unless I have the battery out. Worth a try.

Ok, well, lets start at where the files are supposed to go. Every rom I've ODIN'd before, I just put the tar in the phone section. Never put a pit or anything else with it. Is this correct? Second, usually when I ODIN a rom, it comes up with a little progress bar on the phone showing how far along the process is. I've tried now about 20 times after the first ODIN, and I haven't gotten a progress bar yet. Should I be worried about that?

After following qbking's video and putting the tar in pda instead of phone, and putting the pit in, it now fails even earlier in the process. The status bar comes up on my phone, but as soon as it goes to write cache.fs, it fails. ODIN either comes up and says FAIL in the red box, or ODIN completely crashes. And, same thing as before, I've tried diff USB, rebooted computer, in xp mode, with admin, without admin. I'm starting to think my phone is a brick.

HAHA it says dont use it in video in annotations i mean come on already as well as in noobs thread its for debugging purposes and will eat your battery alive.
Please read things this is why people have issues and wonder why and then complain its so simple to read by using your eyes
Not being angry but just trying to point out that, this is why noobs either brick or get terrible results.
I got it. I don't know why, but for some reason I had to have Re-Partition, Auto-Reboot, and F. Reset Time all checked, as opposed to only Auto-Reboot. I'm now on EC05. Thanks all for your input. I really do appreciate it.
it may be your usb cable. Are you using the factory samsung cable? if so that was the reason why most of my odin's were failing. Try a generic usb cable from monoprice or something and it may help you the same way it helped me!

Dont call someone a troll if you don't wanna read 100%
Im simply trying to explain and help you out. Several people told you don't flash the debug kernel were all just trying to help each other out.
One more thought!
I realize this thread is long dead but i found it using google looking for a solution to this exact issue, so i will add some input from my own personal experience.
Make sure you are using a fully charged battery. Also if you have multiple batteries try swapping between them. I have 2 counterfeit and one authentic battery, using the counterfeits causes problems in odin for me.
Also you may need to repartition if you are coming from a newer rom that is not BML
TrevE you do great work.. and yea i know that this is my own fault for flashing and im not blaming you... BUT i installed (and bought the pro version) your "logging test app v7" and ran the ICQ remove... rebooted my phone like it said to and now its a paper weight... I gets stuck at the "Samsung screen". I tried putting it into "download mode" and odin back to stock and nothing. It goes into the download mode screen but my PC will not pick it up at all. Yes i have the right drivers (I am not a complete noob). I tried it with odin3 v1.85 and v1.61.
Any advice on how to fix it? Any of you guys know if sprint will be able to tell it was rooted when I take it in for a replacement (I have protection).
Phone specs..
epic 4g
stock II22 rooted
persistence pays off. after trying to get my phone into CWM about 50 times it finaly worked! flashing a new rom now... I will not be reloading the app.. but im not going to get a refund either.. keep the buck, you do great things! But if you figure out why this app does not like the epic 4g let me know.

TrevE develops for HTC devices as far as I'm aware.
If you are looking for the original mod for CIQ removal by k0nane, then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340083
Try removing the battery for a bit before going into download mode. Try both with wall/usb cable connected and/or sd card removed.

First off, if you don't blame Trev you should change the title...kind of rude. CIQ removal is not the same for all phones. You should have read more. Now to restore your phone follow this thread and if Odin isn't recognizing it no matter what then go to post 2 on using Heimdall to restore your phone:

You wouldn't by chabce have windows 7 64bit because its a pain with that os for some reason.
I would suggest uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them and it should run through the steps to rehook the drivers for odin, does for me everytime I flash with odin I have to reinstall drivers

The first thing i did was take out the SD card but thanks for the heads up.
Odin has never once given me any problems and it now picks up my phone fine.
Thanks for the battery advice! I was only taking out for a minute or so, Ill try it for longer if i have any more troubles.

Had some issues with the phone so I flashed back to stock, now I want to re-root the device, but to no avail, my pc doesn't see it. Samsung drivers installed (and reinstalled)..

No one has ever had this problem? I'm beginning to think it's a phone/hardware issue.. but I have no idea what would have caused it. Its never been dropped or mishandled in any way :laugh: $150.00 for a new one through insurance..may as well go S4 eh?

Its a exe that extracts into a temp folder. Its nothing but ODIN app, once ODIN program starts, connect your phone and it should show up as yellow box on it and hit start , thats it. I did that on 8.1 so pretty sure you are missing something else. Are you sure your drivers are installed properly? On my laptop as soon as I put my phone in download mode, the drivers got installed automatically and the yellow box came up within no time.

Indeed my friend I was doing something wrong.
I forget about the download mode, as soon as I did it, ODIN recognized the Device.
I hit start after that, a couple of minutes ago, but the program is not responding. There's CPU activity with the process so I'll wait a couple of minutes more but if nothing happens I supposed will try again.

I would just retry it on another machine jsut to be safe and chk the firewall connections on the pc to see f somethings blocking it if it didnt work. IT just work without issues if its recognized and yellow bar shows up

For some reason try it again and was taking to much time, copy it over to my new SSD and after a minutes worked just fine. I don't understand the issue as the other HDD is just fine, event is a brand new 7200RPM, but anyways after ran the software and after waiting some minutes the update went just ok. After that I used KIES to update to the newer version.
Thank you for the help
