Problems with USB in download mode - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

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!

Cant get odin to work for me

Just recently running eg22 gingerbread leak, everything is working perfect but now I want to update my modem currently on (eco5). Everytime I go into download mode it doesn't read in odin for some reason?..does anybody have a ideal or possible solution because I really want to upgrade it!

Try another usb cable. Try re installing drivers
Odin mostly only works in the same usb port you installed the drivers on. Try each port, uninstall/reinstall the drivers and reboot, get a better cable. Also search. There is already about a hundred threads exactly like this.

Been having issues with my laptop, running Win7. This is the laptop I have loaded every ROM since I started tweaking my device.
Lately I have had to uninstall my device from the device manager, go into download mode and plug in the USB, then do a scan for new hardware in device manager. Odin will then recognize the phone and I can run.
Yes I understand that but everyone has different ways on how theirs wa reslove every bit on if helps. Mind works fine when phone on,in download mode it says device malfunction and tryed with 3 different cables(shrug) :/

Make sure you do a proper shut down, I have NEVER had issues with odin til eg22. I practically shat myself trying multiple computers that I know worked but to no avail. All my computers said device malfunctioned. I reinstalled drivers but nothing worked.
The problem was I had pulled the battery while in clockworkmod and went into download mode. I reproduced this later it does not recognize if you pull battery from cwm on eg22.
The solution was as easy as going into cwm doing a backup/wipe and install a fresh srf 1.2 and booting it up then proper shutdown and go into download mode and BAM it recognizes. Hope this works

Always is drivers and cables.
I would give the following option (and this is only if your comfortable):
Try installing a VM software, for example virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org), install a fresh copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7 (what ever you have a license for) and start fresh from there to:
- Install Epic Drivers (Reboot VM)
- Install phone drivers (connect the usb cable while phone is on and with usb debugging is checked and let it install, then reboot the VM)
- Place the phone in download mode and connect it to the VM, let the drivers install.
Load odin, image files and pit to the VM and proceed to do the download from there, it should work unless something is really wrong with your phone.
Let us know if this helps.

Lol i came acrossed that earlier,and with you being one of the mosts respected guys in our forums im going to take you advices and learn more about that program!

Heimdall is much better for recognizing your device and loads it's own drivers. You need to use 7zip to disassemble the tar files into seperate components and place them in their appropriate spots. I heard the newer version can use the full tar. Haven't checked it out yet. The best thing is you can install another recovery and modem when flashing.

[Q] odin problem

I'm trying to flash a new modem with odin v.1.85. I have all the drivers installed, have restarted computer, pulled battery, new usb cord, and odin won't read my phone. It will read it while my phone is turned on, just not in download mode for some reason. I'm not quite sure what i am doing wrong, I've used odin before but it's been awhile. Any guesses as to what is goin on would be appreciated. After multiple searches I haven't found any answers.
Did you try all the usb ports on the computer? Try it with the battery in and see what happens. Its definitely your computer.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Thanks. tried all but one usb port. i'll give it another go. tried it with battery in and out
*edit* tried all. nothin works. i do have a gadget serial error under the device manager it looks like. any ideas?
can i use mobile odin for this and skip the computer part all together?
Mobile odin doesn't work on our phone yet... so no... give me a second.. what drivers did you install? I'm going to link you the ones I always use... they've always worked. Also if you have any other phone drivers unistall them and install the ones I link. Once you've unistall the others restart the pc and install the new ones.

Help! Bricked my brand new T-mo Galaxy S4

In serious need of your help here guys. I bricked my T-mo SGH-M919 today trying to root. Now I can't flash the stock recovery thru Odin. Tried a zillion times, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers restarted my comp, done everything I could think of still no dice.
I keep getting this Fail message in Odin saying " There is no PIT partition" tried to search for a PIT file for my specific model but couldn't find any. I even tried recovery thru kies emergency recovery and failed at the last step. Anybody can help me please.

If you can still get into Odin mode, there's still hope. Have you tried using Odin to flash a stock image instead of Kies?

Don't use and dont need pit file.
Find the stock shipped tar file (aka) 4.1.2 Rom
Load in pda leave everything checkedbin odin thats checked.
Rooting isnt hard at all just got my s4 3 hrs ago rooted in 5 minutes soon as I walked in the door.
You need the Root_m919uvuamdl.zip
And then flash MDB setUIDoff .zip
Then flash superuser.
Thats it.
If u have odin Booted its 1000% NOT BRICKED

Had that and tried flashing it thru Odin several times and I keep getting the same error message. "there is no PIT partition"
Let me ask you one thing. .. is the com port in odin coming up recognize the phone ...if so you are not bricked. . The two vital things u need to see is com port turn on usually blue color and download mode..
The problem def lies somewhere else possibly bad tar file .
Try to find another source for the stock rom tar file another option is boot into recovery and flash a stock rom if you have recovery still

Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and Odin, rebooted my comp and used the Sammy USB cable.
Well glad you got it.... but i still find it hard to believe any usb was the issue Usb recognition is usb recognition. .if odin seen the phone usb was working. ..its literally that simple... the problem initially explained was that the pit error was coming up... that all relates usually to a file error .
But glad it worked out and u didnt loose a 600$ phone.

I own three Samsung devices, and my sgs2 will not transfer files or work with adb when I use a generic best buy rocketfish usb cable. The original Samsung cable works every time.

Well... one case to the next is different. .. ive never had issue using a lg cord moto cord or htc on a samsung device. .
I just think that the op post if you read his initial problem and how it was stated i think it had to do with trying to odin in the pit section instead of pda.
Ive seen this issue before.
Once again glad its fixed

Nope, it was in the PDA section. I'm familiar with Odin and used it several time in the past (on my Note 8.0) . I believe the error message was either due to corrupt download and/or the USB cable. Anyway so glad it was solved quickly and thanks again for your help.

Pit file. That solved my problems. Flash it alone, then flash a good stock rom.

LGFlashTools not seeing my phone... stuck!

Hey guys,
I've been flipping between ROMs and just kinda figuring out what I want to do. I've done the entire flash to stock process like 10 times, but this time, I get LGFT set up, and ready, but when I connect the phone in download mode nothing happens. The only difference I can think of is that I restored from CM to a backup of stock this morning. Had some issues with my backup, so I wanted to flash all the way back. Does anyone 1. know how to get LGFT to see my phone in dl mode, and 2. if not, have a flashable stock zip? I can still get into CM and ClockworkMod Recovery! Thanks!

rooting pro 8.4

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
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Free mobile app
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.
