Unfortunately, mobile odin requires root, which is what I'm trying to do (guess i should have been more specific )
Root with Odin desktop cf auto root. Then install whatever recovery you want, I suggest TWRP from goo.im in play store.
Cf auto root? I've never heard of that could you please explain to me what that is? (or just a link would be fine)

That's the standard root still with stock firmware

I use the QCom toolkit to make my tar files.

I tried that but the tar files it makes causes odin to crash, not sure why though

Thanks for this I'll check it out. One question though: does this also work on the T999V?
Edit: nvm I read the post and it warns that it may brick the device if its a different model

In order to flash custom roms you need a custom recovery and to get one you gotta flash it via Odin...
I think you're asking for an impossible lol

Sure, it's called SuperSUv0.96CWM.zip and is only flash-able from custom recovery (CWM/TWRP).
No matter how you slice it, you WILL need ODIN at one point or the other to root these Samsung phones. You have 2 methods:
Flash custom recovery via odin, then flash supersu.zip (Up's custom counter by 1) But can be erased with triangle away
Or
Flash the full rooted stock image via Odin (Will give you root, but no custom recovery. No added count on flash counter)
Oh ok. Just got the phone and dont have my laptop for another week, so it looks like im gonna have to wait for a littlebit

Don't you have friends or family?
You don't need ODIN to install TWRP recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809313
And after you install TWRP recovery, you can root with the zip file that you can d/l from the following thread:

Yes, you are right. Goo Manager does need root permission. My bad.
There's no way I can think of to root without ODIN then.
Can't you use the adb method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552 then flash the superuser zip?
lol nvm
Hi to u all. I need a little help in according with unroot procedure.
Well, I rooted my device without odin, but using a tool with mac, so flahing recovery.img with terminal and then flashing supersu with cwmd.
Right. Phone works good. I am still with stock rom. I would like to unroot the device for my reasons.
Could I unroot without odin. Having mac I am enable to run it. I read on play store that I can reset numbers of flashes and if I delete supersu, it become unrooted. But, with this procedure the device will give a state "custom" as well. So.....if someone could help me I will appriciate a lot

Heimdal is the procedure I did to root. With terminal, i wrote flash recovery revoery.img
But I don't know if it works with zip file.
In others words what format is the stock firmware?

Use free version of mobile odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
I have rooted my N7105 (Orange UK) successfully using ExynosAbuse. Now I would like to install a custom recovery without using a PC.
I can imagine doing this using Rom Manager, MobileOdin or GooManager, using some version of twrp or cwm.
Has anyone here done that, and what did you use?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
You can use Mobile odin
First copy CWM recovery in tar (or get recovery.img from zip) to SD card
Open Mobile odin-recovery-select file you have copied and flash

Never tried this way, anyway thanks
I always use Mobile Odin Pro to flash custom recovery. It's easy and can done without PC (Just need to copy the custom recovery zip file to SD/internal storage to flash)
Great, thanks will try this. Any particular recovery that is known to work well with the N7105?

Is thwre a way to bypass odin and root with a pre rooted zip file or is osin the only way?
Sent from my SM-T217S using xda app-developers app
You need Odin or Heimdall (if on Mac)to install either twrp or cwm recovery. This does not root the device. A seperate zip file that must be flashed to root and is provided in your device specific root thread.
*edit this thread its reporting success without Odin or Heimdall but it's from China so may leave behind malware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230

I found them on Civz Rom new thread. One way to get your tablet running after it is stuck on modem is to flash cf autoroot. You will not have wifi though cause you are not on the bootloader.
