I believe kies is to be uninstalled before using ODIN.

That's not correct. I use Odin everyday and certainly do not uninstall Kies first. OP, have you tried different ports on your pc? Try them all. Another thing I read, if you are on a 64 bit machine, try creating a 32 bit virtual and doing it from there(last resort). Try doing it from a Windows XP computer(if not already). And try to flash back completely to stock, unrooted, and start again. See if any of those help.

Are you trying to root in download mode or with the phone turned on?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
root
It is in download mode. I heard people had this problem before but found no real answer.
Your are using the *.tar? Or you unzipped it?
Also try reinstalling drivers. Connect it turned on, let the PC recognize it. Then do do the same in download mode. Then disconnect the phone, open Odin an try again.

I was following the forum below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
to get my rooted stock Tmobile Galaxy S2 back to un-rooted stock so i could update to the OTA update as i need the wifi.
Upon following the first ODIN command i got a failed and so i unpluged the phone and tried to re-ODIN and all it would do is stay at connecing or something similar.
I pulled the battery and tried to enter download mode again and I am unable to turn the phone on or enter download mode.
Ideas?
when i change the usb cable to a different plug on PC the PC then will attempt to install driver but the phone never show the download screen and the PC says unalbe to install driver.
Does it try to install the Samsung drivers or qualcom modem drivers?

I had installed the drivers already with Kies
I just received my Galaxy S2 and am trying to root the phone. I followed the steps in the how-to but Odin is not recognizing my phone. Are there any tricks to get Odin to see my phone? I have kies installed on my pc.
Are you running kies and Odin as admin if you have windows 7? And did you restart your computer after installing kies?

I am pretty sure Kies is installed properly. Reinstalled a couple of times. I just tried to root again this morning but am getting a "Threat Detected" message when opening Odin with a threat name Trojan Horse Pakes.LGN. Same error on 2 diff computers.
I dl'd the zip file from a youtube site and have tried dl'ing from xda. Anyone have a link to a clean version?
Just to be sure, did you plug in your phone while running kies to let it find and install all the drivers for your phone? After that open task manager and kill anything that says kies or it can cause problems. This way always worked for me running Windows 7 dualbooted from a macbook pro.
Here is where I got all the root files from

Hi I'm try to root my galaxy note 2 using odin and its not working.
Here's what I specifically did:
1. Put th phone in download mode
2. Connect the phone to my laptop using usb
3. Install the device drivers
4. Run odin.exe
Now, when I run odin I get an alert msg with some boxes and an ok button.
I say ok, the odin window opens for a moment and immediately closes. No errors, no messages.
Am I missing something here?
Why isn't it working?
Thanks in advance guys.

im ok with odin 1.85, if u already using 1.85, try download it again from different source, if not, try download that
and better give us the error message so we know what happened
V1.85 is what I'm using. And as I said there r no errors. The window just closes by itself.
Don't really think it's a problem with the source. But I'll check that out too.

It`s best to use Odinv3 3.0.4 and have you enabled usb debugging on your phone?

kies is a pain ain the arse, uninstall kies..install only drivers, restart pc
use the v3.06 odin , run as administrator,
no need for usb debugging enabled
try different usb ports
close antivirus and firewall
try another pc
if still problem, try mskip tool kit
Just downed a different copy of odin 3.04 and everything worked as expected.
My phone is now rooted
In hindsight is seems like v1.85 that I had isn't compatible with the windows certain I have. It's crazy bcos I remember I had used the same to root my galaxy S.
Anyway. Thanks for the help guys

So I have an att gs3 with Tmobile service. I have unlocked the phone my self. Where the problem lies is I can't get it to root. I've tried it on windows with Odin didn't work. I've tried it on my Mac with heimdall didn't work. My kies on my Mac will read the phone and let it connect but aft won't read. But heimdall does detect a device. It fails when it comes to debugging. Idk what to do. I want to root!!! Please help me!

When you're using Odin does it turn yellow showing your phone is connected?
Make sure all drivers are installed and you're using Odin 1.85.

@210euser Thanks ...drivers are good. Windows 8.1 can see the phone and odin also...
I will try Odin 1.85 but I used 3.07 when I rooted the phone after I bought it...?
I think I used Odin 3.07 a year ago...?

I'm having the same issue... I have SGH-i317m.
4.3 bootloader kept failing and my phone wouldn't boot anymore, so I used the same ODIN to revert back to the 4.1.2 bootloader..
So since, I reverted my phone back, I know the ODIN works and I have the necessary drivers installed.. any idea?
I've attached a screenshot of the situation right now.. I've already tried 5 times and they all failed.

So you got the 4.3 bootloader to work? Could you perhaps upload the tar file that you used to flash?
I'm starting to think that my tar file is the issue... bc I tried installing the drivers with Kies as well, and still no luck..
