I put the note 8 in recovery mode, plug it into the laptop and Odin (3.09 and 3.07) cant see it...
If I plug it in while that note is booted up into android, Odin will see it... but obviously i cant flash stock 4.4.2 on it when its booted up.
Any suggestions?

Assuming you are not rooted and are not planning to root. Is this correct?
Do you have the Samsung Note 8 drivers installed on the PC? Are you following the steps listed HERE?

Yeah, not rooted, not looking to root.
I get as far as step 7 and the part where it says " Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click. "
I dont get *anything* in the COM port.
Also I've tried I watching the Device manager as i plug the tablet in and there is no change.
Its like the device isnt being detected.
BUT
If I plug the device in when the tablet is started normally the device *IS* detected, (and Odin can see the COM port)

What version of Windows are you running? It is best to use a PC with Windows 7 if possible because Win 8 is harder to get working with Odin.
Couple things you can try.....
- Try different USB port and USB cable (this is probably obvious and most likely you have done already)
- Make sure you are plugged directly into the PC and not a USB hub.
- While Odin is up boot the phone multiple times into download mode and see if Odin will find it. Sometimes it takes 3 or more times.
- Uninstall the Samsung drivers on the PC, reboot, and re-install.
- Try a different PC if you have that ability. Preferably one running Windows 7.
If all else fails, might be able to get Heimdall to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Not sure if it is confirmed working on the Note 8 so might have to research it a bit before trying.

From what I have seen posted in XDA Heimdall does work on the Note 8.

I just want to check if you know the difference between recovery mode and download mode. You mentioned in your question that you booted to recovery mode. If you are planning to flash software using Odin you should boot to download mode instead.
- Volume Down, Home and Power buttons boot to download mode as mentioned in instructions linked by CCallahan
- Volume Up, Home and Power buttons boot to recovery mode

yeah sorry, bad use of words.. it was download mode. Recovery mode gives you format etc options.
Will try heimdal tonight, failing that i'll have to try and dig up a win7 machine :-/
I used odin on windows 8.1 without any problems.

try to flash with different firmware
Try running odin as admin and in xp sp 3 compatability mode. That worked for me.
unfortunately the same after running in admin mode in compatibility with xp sp 3.
i cant even get to recovery mode
How many times are people going to ask this same question without searching the forums?
Just removed the battery and then start the phone in download mode using the Volume down + Home key + power button and flash your rom with odin.
usb
You might also want to change the usb port that you used last time. for some reason i can use the ports at the front of my comp, it does the same thing as yours
Try this:
1)Unplug phone from USB
2)Restart Computer
3)Make sure Keis (the samsung software) is closed
4)Run Odin - Chooose pit, PDA, MODEM, CSC file
5)Put phone in download mode
6)Plug phone into USB
7)Wait for Oden to see it
8)Flash
Don't forget to use right pit file. 512 seems to be safest

I am currently on a stock unrooted 4.1.2, SPH-L710. I have been attempting to root my Galaxy S3 using Odin3 v3.07 on Windows 7 using a variety of methods. I get the basic gist where you put the phone into download mode and then flash a *.tar or *.tar.md5 in the PDA field. It gets as far as "Firmware Update Start" and then "<some file name>" (like recovery.img--varies with the solution), but it never progresses past this point. Looking at some guides, it appears that there should be a "NAND write start!!" message which never appears, as well as a progress bar, which I never see. This leaves me stuck in download mode, but thankfully if I just unplug the USB cord Odin detects it as a failure. Following that, I am always able to boot back into Android, so it seems Odin is unable to touch anything at all.
I tried to use this toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488), but despite installing drivers, I could never get it to recognize my phone as being in USB debugging mode. This is after all drivers had installed correctly. I have also heard that there can be problems using usb cords other than the original, but I have made sure to use the OEM cord. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

You could try using a different USB cable. The OEM ones have been known to cause problems with Odin.
As far as USB debugging goes, I've had some Windows 7 computers that will see the phone with USB debugging disabled, and some won't unless I uncheck USB debugging.
QBking 77 has a nice video on rooting the S3 at: http://www.qbking77.com/how-to-root/root-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html
Good luck!
Install drivers again. Plug your phone let it be recognized. Unplug the phone. Put it in download mode, plug it. Let the computer recognized it. Unplug. Open Odin and try again.
There's a method by Chainfire in Original Development, which works great.

Completely new to android. Regular mode, pc recognizes easily. Download mode, not at all. No unknown device. If on the Note I pick "upgrade from adb" then the pc devise manager shows a samsung device adb device. So, it sees it. but still Odin does not see it. Tried USB debug mode on/off on the tablet. Restarted PC and tablet several times. Using original usb cable, tried various usb ports. Am I missing something obvious? I feel that I am.
I would install kies from samsung. Completely reinstall drivers from with in kies and go from there. You could actually push the recent update from kies to your tab and that will do it in odin mode. Give it a try…

Using Windows 7,
Uninstalled Kies 3, reinstalled, updated, uninstalled/reinstalled all drivers. Tried usb debugging on/off (which changed the drivers) Odin perfectly detects the tablet in regular mode. In recovery/download mode I still don't even get an unknown device. It sees the Samsung Adb device, but neither kies (though maybe it shouldn't) nor odin "see" the device. Tried various usb ports, multiple computers. I am on most recent firmware for the P600
Working with tablets (first ipad 2, now the new note) make me feel like I know nothing about computers.

Recovery and download mode are two completely different things. If you are in recovery then Odin will not see the tablet. You have be in download mode. Power the device off and restart it by holding down the power button and volume down at the same time. If you hold power and volume up you will go into recovery which does you no good for Odin.

Thank you, that is exactly what my problem was, as I said, I knew I was being an idiot, thank you. *slaps forehead* I had asked "that guy" at work and had been told recovery mode and download mode meant the same thing, so I didn't google it.

Samsung is the only manufacturer I have used that does download mode. Most others have bootloader mode that works with adb. Though using Odin is easier for beginners than adb.

For me, I had to use the old Kies, not Kies3. I didn't even get a device showing up in device manager when USB Debugging was enabled, though if i switched USB mode from MTP to Camera, I would get a device Samsung_Android that looked like it wanted ADB drivers, but manually pointing it to the drivers included with Kies3 didn't work.

I have a sm-p600 that has been rooted and had a custom rom on it. I went to change the resolution and it rebooted and then i got a bootloop and now i am unable to get into my custom recovery and i cannot connect through adb or in download mode with no unknown device message as well. any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.
Make sure Kies isn't running in the background, it screws with ODIN....
Hi,
I have downloaded odin 3.09 on my laptop with Windows 8. Also the two files I need to use whilst rooting. Then ticked usb debugging box. Got tablet to odin mode and plugged into laptop. When I press start to root nothing happens. The com port sign is blue, I have kies 3 installed with usb drivers.
Totally lost now, I followed the instructions of what to do but my tablet won't root. I am in the uk and was hoping to root my note to the upgrade to kit kat instead of waiting ages for samsung to do it.
Has anyone got any ideas to please help me get my note rooted. Is there something different using windows 8. I have inserted usb drivers that was on the instruction page as well.??

I tried to root mine as well. Started Odin and seems all went well, but after reboot, "Rootchecker" still says that the device isn't rooted. I'm lost here as well. I hope someone with more experience can help. Thanks in advance.
root solution
hello i use to have the same problem,im runing 4.4.2 kk here is the solution pd,im not the the one who did this
here is the original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719750
Root Download Links:
TWRP: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/lt03wifiue
Super SU Zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/Sup...erSU-v1.94.zip
After cf root:
1) Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 img.tar file and DONT unzip
2) Put tablet into Download mode and connect to Odin (You should already have Odin).
3) Un-tick the auto reboot option only and press the AP button and select the TWRP you downloaded and flash.
4) Once successful, power off tablet and reboot into recovery manually and flash Super SU zip.
5) Reboot...........
To flash new update:
What you need:
• Correct Drivers installed
• Odin: http://android.sc/download-odin-3-09/
• A good, solid USB cable
Thanks to @scrosler for the following guide:
1. Download Odin from the links
2. Extract the the .md5 file from the zip file you downloaded above.
3. Boot tablet into "Download" mode. You can do this by holding Power and Volume - (down) when the device is shut off. I note on this device it can be a little trickier so you may have to try a couple times. You should now see this on your tablet
4. Connect Tablet to PC using known good USB Cable
5. Start Odin and Press the "AP" button to load the tar.md5 file. This may take a while as it is also calculating the MD5 to ensure you have a good file. A bad file means bad issues and it wont let you flash it (good fail safe).
6. Once Odin sees the Tar and loads it completely AND Odin sees the tablet press the Start button to begin. Can takes about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. Do NOT check or uncheck mark ANY other Options in Odin unless you know what you are doing!
7. Once it complete you will have a factory image on your tablet. Yay!
8. But we are not done. You may also want to, at this point, reboot to recovery and do a full data wipe. This method of Odin leaves the SD card and user data intact. To get into recovery hold Power and Volume + until you see the stock Android recovery. Select format Data, reboot. Boom, your tablet is like brand new!
Can anyone direct me to a site where I can download the correct usb driver?
I have an SM-P600 running 4.3 and I’m working with my wife’s Windows 7.0 tablet. Odin 3.09 is installed but I haven’t been able to find the correct drivers.
Hi guys !
I rooted my phone and then tried to setup some roms. But when I try to go in the download mode, it says "Downloading... Do not turn off the target" but on my computer, it cannot recognize the usb. I setup the usb drivers, tried another ports and there is no problem about my usb cable. It works normally, but whenever I go in the download mode, this thing happens and I cant continue to Odin. Does anyone know anything about that ?

You can install it easily if your phone is rooted just
-put the downloaded recovery.img in /mnt/sdcard
-download & install "Terminal Emulator" in play store
-open it then type "su" and click enter
-allow root access..
-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter
-then some text will show in bottom
-exit terminal..
check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up botton, home button, and power button pressed together..
until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM

What version of windows are you running, it couldn't work on windows 8 and 8.1 so i installed 7 and all the drivers for the phone and it works, i dont have the phone now but i do beleive that will, anyway... if you have bootloop that means you are still able to pass the bootloader screen right?? then try to go to recovery and flash roms from there, having an sd card would help transfering roms from pc directly to phone....

You can try putting any custom rom and flash from a custom recovery if you can access it, if not download the stock rom and get a windows 7 pc. make sure you install all the samsung drivers ( kies should do the job ) and try flashing it from odin

Download mode Windows 8.1 10
To connect your phone in download mode on Windows 8.1 and 10 you need to apply this registry file (in my attached zip file).
Mirror Link
It happens for most old phones.
More Info: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/us...ows-8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43/
Also note Odin3 (the one which is used for newer phones) doesn't work for Galaxy W! (Use Odin Multi Downloader.)

Update: It seems that this registry key isn't needed. Make sure to connect the USB cable after downloading... screen appears. If it wasn't recognized try disconnect and reconnecting the USB cable or try other USB ports on PC till it gets recognized.
