Its an issue with Samsung. They need to update the SBL before it'll work.
Someone on another site said you had to have installed the binary .deb package the "backend" and then it satisfies the dependency and thennn you install the frontend. If that makes sense to you.

That doesn't work I've tried. I actually contacted the developer of heimdall and he said that it has something to do with the bootloaders. Also I believe chris4g also said the same thing.

I never tried that. I've tried virtual machine to run windows 7 and it wouldn't recognized my phone in download mode. I was told I would have to use bootcamp to run windows OS but I have an imac and it came with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Would I have to use bootcamp to run Linux?

I've tried to run Linux, and it hasn't worked for me. I was probably just doing something wrong. And I think bootcamp is Windows-only.
any new developments on getting this to work? i was about to start my own thread on this in Q&A.. ive been doing a lot of research to get heimdall working with my mac on 10.6.8
have the latest heimdall with a GUI i believe 1.1.1, does not recognize the phone in DL mode..
did find this guide started by the heimdall dev.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
specifically this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9918224&postcount=2 relating to the bootloader being basically crappy on galaxy S phones, and you need to update it in order to get a mac to properly recognize the device. of course this post is not epic specific, so im not sure if this applies for us
my understanding is that its boot.bin that is the bootloader in a TAR file...i dont think theres an epic user on XDA that hasnt odined at least the EC05 update. the post talks about how you need to get the "froyo bootloader", sounds like we already have that if we have odined EC05
the OP on the heimdall guide above has new versions? wondering if anyone has tried these command line versions? there is also somestuff in there that says the usb not recognizing issue is fixed in these newer versions.
i would love to get this working.. my only PC is from 2005, and the last time i tried to odin a modem it blue screened immediately after hitting start, i really dont trust the thing to be honest.. reinstalling windows does not seem to help..
Hey guys,
I installed FB27 + radio through CWM. I was previously on EL29. I want to get back to EL29, so I did the following:
Boot into windows (daily driver is osx)
Put phone into DL mode
Start Odin-oc el29
connect phone to usb
watch as nothing happens, then windows says, "Unrecognized device (code 42)"
So i closed out everything, then opened Kies. It said it had an update, so I installed it, which included some driver updates.
I retraced my steps from above.
I tried installing the samsung driver package, still nothing.
Odin was working just fine before, and I hadn't changed anything in windows. I don't even use windows unless i'm using odin!
Any help is appreciated, I would like to get back to EL29!
[update]
This is likely a windows problem, not a problem with FB27. Sorry for causing any panic
few questions
what version of odin/are you using the self-extracting auto odin back?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
have you removed the kies/samsung drivers, then reinstalled? if you're having problems and it's related to the drivers (which it may be), sometimes you have to remove not just reinstall.
also, have you tried a different usb cord? sounds stupid i know, but they get **** stuck in the ends, or otherwise damaged, and cause weird issues in situations like this but otherwise work fine.
i just odined back last night using the package in the thread above, and it worked fine.
Just to make sure, you do have samsung kies installed, right? You need their drivers.

From your post you're trying to do the odin all in one self extractor... have you tried just using odin to flash the EL29 stock recovery repack and then flash through CWM from there?

According to Microsoft, code 42 means there is a problem with multiple instances of the driver and the solution is a reboot (as John pointed out)
My theory as to why it is happening is there is a problem either in the USB driver or in ODIN OneClick with shutting down the USB bus when the flash is done, so next time you run it there is already an instance. Another possibility is if you use different USB ports on the computer between sessions, then the USB driver might get confused and keep multiple instances.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
Code 42
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)
Recommended resolution
A duplicate device was detected. This error occurs when a bus driver incorrectly creates two identically named sub-processes (known as a bus driver error), or when a device with a serial number is discovered in a new location before it is removed from the old location. You may be able to resolve this problem by restarting your computer.
Restart your computer
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then select Restart in the Shut Down Windows dialog box to restart the computer.

Ok, so the best thing to try then is to uninstall Kies and the samsung driver package. I'm a windows nub, (I've haven't used windows since 1999) how do I make sure that any existing drivers that have been installed for a particular port are also wiped out? My fear is that removing kies won't remove any drivers that have been installed against a particular device... or is that not true.

Same as my initial post. I'm currently at work Just trying to develop a POA.
According to MSFT, the error code 42 is not a problem with driver installation. It is a problem at runtime with multiple instances of the driver.
Did a reboot not work? Perhaps there are problems with the driver in the 64-bit and 32-bit locations?
I've rebooted the crap outta it already...
Anyway, uninstalled Kies, and samsung drivers package, and QPST for the hell of it. Rebooted, reinstalled Kies, now I get Error code 43...
I tried "search for a better driver" and pointed it to the samsung kies folder to no avail.

Are you on 64-bit? Sometimes the drivers need to be placed in the 32-bit location.
Have you gone over the general USB connection troubleshooting here:

Sorry, I go through a lot of threads and PMs so sometimes lose track of what people tried and didn't try.
I'm not at all experienced with Mobil ODIN, but wouldn't it be possible to forego the computer completely to get back to EL29?
It depends on the situation. In this case, probably yes. Mobile ODIN needs your phone to be able to boot into Android and needs you to be rooted, which the OP probably is. ODIN can handle situations where your phone won't even boot into Android.

Any assistance or insight would be deeply appreciated...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I did it this time I think. I've hacked, modded, wiped, and flashed my phone since I got it last year, and although I've gotten to places where I thought I had totally fuxored things up beyond recovery, every single time in the past I've been able to bring it back from the brink of oblivion. I am exceedingly resourceful and tenacious, which can be both a good and bad thing. Good thing when I am able to fix things that seem unfixable. Bad when I forget about things like eating or sleeping.
Here's the present situation: 4 days ago I was trying to flash a new modem (FB15)(something I know well how to do as I've done it many, many times before) through Odin, when it stalled out near the beginning of the process. This is not unusual with Odin, so I've gotten into the habit of closing it, pulling the battery, and starting again. This time, however, no matter what I've tried, I cannot get Odin to successfully flash. It fails every single time. Either that or it stalls yet again.
At the moment I can only get into 2 modes on my phone: download mode (which can't actually download anything apparently) and the very unpleasant computer--!--phone screen when I try to boot it up or go into recovery. This is the longest my phone has been unusable. I've been intensely focused on fixing it since it was semi-bricked. The ridiculously frustrating and annoying thing is that the computer I'm using (and I've used multiple to try to fix this across Windows, Linux, and Mac) usually says "USB device not recognized" when I plug my phone in while in download mode, no matter the state of the drivers, and when it does recognize it and it is visible in Odin, it means nothing because Odin fails no matter what file I'm trying to flash. When the computer and Odin DO recognize the phone, and when Odin doesn't hang, very occasionally it will give me some odd error message like "PIT mapping not found" or "cannot open COM port". I've tried so many of the things I've tried in the past that have worked: changing USB ports, rebooting the computer between attempts, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, going into download mode with the SD-card and battery out and in, loading Odin after or before putting the phone into download mode, trying on different computers with different versions of Windows (I even tried one Mac with iOS 10.4 and a Linux notebook with Ubuntu), trying different USB cables, flashing with the battery and SD card out, trying to flash different files (besides the original modem.bin which stalled), running Odin as administrator, yadda, yadda, yadda...on and on, for days. I even just went out and bought a high-performance, super-short USB cable (6-inches) and a USB 3.0 PCI card so I'd have dedicated USB. Nada.
Basically my phone seems to have a broken download mode with potentially wonky USB (Samsung USB has never been good). I've been seeing if I can get Heimdall to work, though there is a bit of a learning curve with that program, no matter how easy people say it is. I've never even tried flashing it with it yet since I haven't gotten together all of the apparently necessary files. I also just found One-Click Unbrick, and while I was excited originally, it seems that the same outcome is the result. No matter what I do to get everything just right to be able to succeed, it fails. Java is installed, Heimdall is apparently installed, and the One-Click Unbrick drivers have been installed every time I've tried to run it. Nada again.
If my phone is able to get into download mode, yet that seems to be borked, what is my recourse? I'm at the end of my rope...*sinks into a depressed lump on the floor*.
ANY assistance would be immensely appreciated. Thank you all in advance. I'm not incredibly hopeful at this point, but I am (fortunately or unfortunately) still tenacious as hell. :-/

I thank you much for your suggestion. I've tried flashing the EC05 modem tar and both the tar.md5 and the straight tar file of the stock EL ROM, though surprisingly I haven't tried the straight EL30 modem tar yet. I'll try when I get home. The main problem is not getting Odin to COM, but getting it to flash anything. It either stalls, fails, or doesn't see the phone...download mode seems to be basically useless.

It is possible you have some crap in your phone's port. Or even the new cable is flaky. Get a bright light and magnifying glass and look in your phone's port. Also try fresh downloads of the files.

This should be enough to get you on your way. Oh and if you can at all possible reinstall windows prior to loading these drivers. i know someone who had to do it before their computer would recognize their phone. I've been in this kind of situation i had someone root my phone and is computer was fubar'd and it took him 3 days to unbrick my phone. This is what helped him he kept recieving unknown device. This is what helped is what helped him id advice the same. Once you have windows reinstalled download the three things and install the drivers and give it a shot.

I thank you all for your time and assistance. It was very deeply appreciated.
I fixed it by circumventing Winblows entirely. I created a second partition on my friend's hard drive, installed Ubuntu Linux 11.10, then went through the pretty simple process of setting up Android SDK/ADB and Heimdall, and all of the dependencies that they required. The ridiculous thing is that I fixed it without even trying. I was simply seeing if Heimdall could detect my phone (which I had connected and in DL mode), which I noticed that it did. I had no idea what Download PIT did, so I pressed it, and lo and behold, it did something amazing, and rebooted my phone. I am elated, exhausted, triumphant!

I kNEW I would figure it out. I always do...lol.
In messing up my phone so many times, I have gotten VERY good at fixing whatever nonsense happens to arise.

My housemate is running 10.04, so I'm familiar with how it looks. If it makes ya feel any better 11.10 doesn't like my new usb wireless network adapter (Netgear N900 Dual Band), which is MUCH better than the one to which I had to revert to get internet access, though I'm hoping that I can get it working somehow soon.

Hi.
I'm reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
which is very useful, trying to flash a stock ROM using Odin. My GT-N7100 is bricked, possibly with SDS. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.4 and as far as i have read i need to download Odin 3.0.7 to my Mac (do they have a .dmg of this?). Samsung USB drivers to my Mac and the stock firmware from Sammobile.
The problem it is that everything is made for Windows. I'm seeing Samsung drivers in only Windows enviroment.
How can i flash using Odin on Mac OS X. Any links?
Thanks.
Another pal with SDS.
Hello there, Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on a Mac primarily but do have a windows desktop I can turn to when I come across windows only solutions as we have here. You can install a windows os using bootcamp or virtually through something like virtualbox on the Mac. For me though the windows route isn't getting anywhere. I don't think you have a full SDS situation where your phone is a complete brick like mine though. From your posts it sounds like you can at least get into download mode correct? If so you should be able to download the original 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware for the Note II and flash via Odin. I wish I could at least try this step but as it is my phone is completely dead and won't boot at all. I'm trying to figure out how to submit a support request in the US right now which is proving very unsuccessful so far since we have the Galaxy Note International version (GT-N7100) which Samsung USA does not support in any way. I'm taking my phone to a local cell phone/tablet repair shop tomorrow to see if they can get anything accomplished. Good luck in your quest!
I have done more reading and have downloaded Heimdal 1.4- as well some random country GT-N7100 stock sammobile build .tar file (June- 4.1.2)
Please i need some incredibly generous person that might have an idea how i can flash a custom rom using Hemdal 1.4. My phone doesn't boot. I only have access to the "download mode". (No- recovery mode). I'm almost sure i have SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) and i'm using OSX and my only choice is to try to flash the Note II with Heimdral.
Check if this helps

kinda late reply but you could use mobile odin to unroot.
Did anybody tested Heimdall ?
You can find it in mac softpedia, and it's an Odin equivalent..

Something went really ****ed when I tried to flash CM 10 on to my GS4 using Heimdall front end (1.4). Took it back to the store and they said they had never seen one fully "bricked like that"...
What steps did you follow if you dont mind? Explain like I'm 5 - they won't replace another phone for me haha

You don't use heimdall to flash cyanogenmod. You use it to flash the recovery, then you root from the recovery and then you flash cyanogenmod from the recovery.

For anyone still wondering about this. Get VMWare Fusion pro, install windows(I have windows 7 basic), then install odin(any version, i tested all of them), then flash that way.
And my specs are Macbook pro late 2011 2.4ghz quadcore running mavericks. Ive had no problems flashing whatsoever. Windows loads very quickly too

Any hiccups? And how you had VMWare set up?

No hiccups, i just installed everything recommended. No special anything. And run odin as administrator. I probably flashed over 70 times already with 0 hiccups.

Http://jodin3.casual-dev.com is Odin for Mac. Because of limitations to Heimdall, I don't recommend flashing large files though. Its awesome for CF-Auto-Root and TWRP though.

Hello there, Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on a Mac primarily but do have a windows desktop I can turn to when I come across windows only solutions as we have here. You can install a windows os using bootcamp or virtually through something like virtualbox on the Mac. For me though the windows route isn't getting anywhere. I don't think you have a full SDS situation where your phone is a complete brick like mine though. From your posts it sounds like you can at least get into download mode correct? If so you should be able to download the original 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware for the Note II and flash via Odin. I wish I could at least try this step but as it is my phone is completely dead and won't boot at all. I'm trying to figure out how to submit a support request in the US right now which is proving very unsuccessful so far since we have the Galaxy Note International version (GT-N7100) which Samsung USA does not support in any way.

hey can you still get where you can factory reset. because i bricked my phone trying to root it, and all i did is flashed the the stock firmware on it and it worked it again.
The instructions on are for Windows with twrp etc, .exe files... I've rooted Samsung Phones on my Mac, but this tablet seems different from what I'm reading and don't want to screw it up lol. I read a few different things on twrp on Macs and a lot of issues people ran into, unless they did something wrong?? Basically I just want to know how to root and use twrp on Mac with this tablet so I can use other roms I've used on my phones (currently Sho3).
Thanks in advance for any help
115 views and nobody?? lol ... searching online it seems there are multiple ways (unless people wrote instructions differently) for similar on a Mac. I just want to make sure I don't screw this tablet up, I've done my Samsung phones on my Mac.
How were you doing them on a Mac? What was the process, I mean.. I would imagine that you could use Heimdall and load the TWRP image with it, in order to get the custom recovery, then root/install SU after that on the device.
I'm not sure if Heimdall is actually going to work with the gt3, but it's worth a shot.. It's the only cross-platform image writer, for Samsung devices, that I know of. I could be wrong, however.

Sorry forgot about this, yeh used Heimdall. I may try later on.
1. Install most recent Heimdall from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
2. Open Heimdall frontend from applications folder of your Mac.
3. Put device into download mode with power+vol down+home. Will sometimes require multiple attempts. When successful you will see warning about adding custom software to your device.
4. Click utilities tab of Heimdall and detect device.
5. Download pit file to your Mac with the save as dialouge.
6. Click on flash tab of Heimdall.
7. Select pit file you just created
8. Hit add partition select RECOVERY and then select the custom recovery you have already dowloaded from the other threads. Extract to .img before selecting the recovery though. Make sure repartition is NOT selected
9. I unchecked no reboot and resume. (Near bottom right by the start button)
10. Hit start.
11. Verify by restarting with power+vol up
Check my other post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47060381#post47060381 for screenshots describing these steps. And possibly some answers to questions already asked in that thread.
Just did this to mine and it worked fine is OSX 10.9 & Heimdall 1.4.0 and the TWRP_T31x_r3.tar recovery. I should note that this is the SM-T310 8" Tab

Thanks a lot for the steps. But I'm getting an error. It says Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed! at the last step where I'm flashing the recovery. Could you please help me? I did exactly as you said.
Thanks.
EDIT: also, I'm on OSX 10.9 as well, and using all the same versions as yours.

NVM, I got it to work. Searched on google, and someone had the same problem with heimdell and he just rebooted and tried next day or something. So I rebooted and it worked.
Good to hear you got it working. Not a lot of people around to help on this tablet.

Awesome it worked. Didn't get a chance to do so yet, was honestly a little nervous even though I've used Heimdall on Mac for phones. There's like no support or anything for this tablet, not sure why, it's selling like crazy, BB can barely keep them in stock and it's been out for months. Yet other newer tablets have huge support already and roms etc.
Love it, but kinda wish I got something else now, only thing you can do is root this thing.

With Cyanogen not building stable releases for Exynos 4 devices I don't think we will see a ton of action on the AOSP front for this device. With that being said Xposed works on this tablet and provides some of what I'm looking for in custom roms. I use Wanam and Gravity Box modules and I am happy now with stock rooted and using Xposed.

I just realized I still have Heimdall 1.3.1 still on my Mac, as I'm still on 10.5.8 , I don't think the newer versions of Heimdall work unless on the current OS/X as one says there are issues with 10.6 etc. Wonder if I can still use 1.3.1?

Reading the change logs from 1.3.1>1.3.2>1.4.0 compatibility with some devices was enhanced/added. It does not mention ours specifically. I personally wouldn't try it on 1.3.1 but it is your tablet. Why are you stuck on Leopard? PPC?

I just never updated it after they cut support for 10.5.8 to keep buying OS after that lol, I've had other MBP and just sold my Retina, too many glitches and odd stuff with the recent OSs, and waiting to see the new model that should have some nice fixes both hardware wise and software. Plus I use Win7 in a virtual system and it's so stable, Virtuals have run into so many issues on the newer OSs from peoples reports and my experience. Only thing is I know people say you can use that to root these easier, I've never gotten any phone to show up to work with in Win in a Virtual System, plug usb in and nothing happens (still goes to OS/X). I only kept this 13" Pro as it's reliable and stable lol, even spilled a big ass jug of water on it once when the dogs when crazy chasing each other and one got caught on my cord and knocked the water over onto the keyboard. I flipped it over and turned it off and stuck it in rice, somehow works fine.... my good luck charm hahaha
Wonder if the new Heimdall (1.4) will work on os/x 10.5.8? I'll msg the dev

So I totally forgot about this thread as there was no rom development anyway. Now there are some nice roms for this tablet so want to root and flash. Except can't figure this out, I tried different Heimdalls and they all do the same thing, they say "heimdall crashed" when opened up, but the program is there. When you click on detect devices it says "FRONTEND ERROR Heimdall Crashed".
I messaged the Dev but never heard back. On os/x 10.5.8 and tab is T310 wifi. Some say this Heimdall works for these devices but not on osx version whatever, then vice versa..... ughh confusing lol. No clue what heimdall works with this combo or if there's another way on a Mac. I have Win7 in a virtual machine, but Android never mounts in a VM or at least I've never gotten an Android to do so all these years.
I got this error when I try to download the .pit file:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

Any ideas?
The device I try to root it's a Tab3 7.0 SM-T211 with Android 4.1.2
This method doesn't work for me either.
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and using Heimdall 1.4.0.2
I've tried uploading TWRP 2.6.3, 2.7.0 and 2.7.1
I've tried using ADB too, but to no avail. It seems that the only mode I can get ADB to work is sideload, but when I sideload images it says signature failed. I'm starting to hate this phone.
EDIT: Somehow, after 12 attempts, it worked!!! (with TWRP 2.7.1 flashable recovery)
