Can my computer flash without freezing on Odin? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Recently I tried to flash a stock rom and froze on checking md5. I used Odin 309 or 307 and the Same issue. But.. I can flash cfautoroot A OK! I am on windows 8.1 and I have a Galaxy tab S Wi-Fi. All the drivers are installed and USB debugging is on. Then when I use Odin 1.84 it doesn't check md5 till you hit start. But I didn't hit start as I fixed my tablet from boot looping in twrp but just reinstall installing twrp. The thing is will Odin freeze on me in case I ever need to flash stock rom? And if it does freeze can I just wait and then disconnect? I have also try led reinstall ing drivers and everything. Changed the firmware also.
I also have a backup PC that runs windows 7. If anyone can help me on this I might have to revert back to windows 7. Windows 8 keeps stuttering on me! BTW roms flashed fine on windows 7 when I flashed stuff on my brothers phone. Thank you!

Will try! I think it might be an issue with windows 8.1. Worked fine when i had windows 7

I'm using Windows 8.1!

You could try not downloading the md5 so it won't do the check. You can use a different program to check md5.

What would happen if it freezes while flashing? As I can flash recoveries with no issues. What I was thinking is that since I have a twrp backup, if something fails and twrp wont boot, i can reflash twrp and restore my backup without installing stock firmware.

I have extracted and repackaged the modem for those who are interested in trying it. It flashed with Odin on Overcome 1.4.2 without problems. @alter, this does not excuse you from giving us the full ROM.
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/KHRGQP8L8Z
whats changed what new,
how does it feel
home screen the same
how do i do this on heimdall? my odin is refusing to show connected download mode, but Heimdall works fine.
Nevermind, got it. Had to reinstal kies drivers to get it to work.
You have to uninstall the drivers for Heimdall and re-install the drivers for Odin - one or the other, cant use both at the same time.
I`m new on this.
So if i will flash this with Odin it will unroot my device ? I have an Euro Galaxy Tab P1000 and now i`m rooted.
How do you root this rom?
I've tried z4root which didn't work. Superoneclick finished rooting but any apps that require root always fail saying root access not aquird.
Any help?
okay this might make me sound stupid, but how do i do that on windows?
NEVERMIND. Just ran this....

As far as i know nothing really changed in this update. But i know some bluetooth stuff needs 2.2.1 and up. So i am sure there are other apps that might like this update. Possibly has some slight fixes in it also.
With some tweaks I am getting constant mid-low 19 linpack scores!

Oh yeah, downloaded the P1000ZTKC1 and tried to upgrade my tab but always failed when Odin tries to read boot.bin and bricked my tab. Had to reinstate Tab again. Maybe it is because the firmware is not packed properly or could be I am doing it the wrong way. I had not tried full reset and upgrade yet tho.

Well, I will wait a while till I have time to do a hard reset then only try upgrade again. At the moment, I'll live with my current 2.2 rom. Or maybe wait for 2.3 to be release before upgrading.

[Q] Phoenix v15 wifi fix

Hi
Does anyone know how to fix wifi without using ODIN? I know dr.ketan and BL_MJ5_DN3 bootloader patches, but simply ODIN doesn't work for me (tried on win XP, Vista, 7, different USB slots).
After trying to write to NAND it fails. My phone version is gt-n7100. Is any chance that a new ROM occur soon with already fixed WIFI?
Any other solution for patching without ODIN?
Thanks for help!
As far as im led to believe odin is the only way but I may be wrong can you not get the lend of a friends laptop and try it. I did mine yesterday and it only takes a couple of minutes if you have the files downloaded.

In Odin I couldn't read the error code. Just after trying to write in NAND it failed, that's whole message i got. I did everything according to the procedure. On some computers there were no Kies and it failed as well. I have all versions of Odin... Run as admin...
Well, it might be the cable issue, it might be Chinese version of phone... however it's gt-n7100.

Odin Fails to flash my device

Hi Everyone, I actually have a SGH-I317m (Rogers Note 2), but thought I would post here since this gets more traffic.
I have been having constant problems with Odin trying to flash files to my Note 2.
Currently using the factory Samsung USB cable, disconnecting any other USB devices connected (BT gamepad) to my computer, and being sure to run Odin as "Administrator" in Windows 7 (64bit).
I've used the recommended Odin 1.85 as well as the latest Odin 3.x, with the newest release being somewhat more reliable.
Basically I've grown too paranoid to try and flash custom roms, and even the root package to my phone in fear of a permanent soft brick. KIES failed to update my phone to stock 4.3, so I then used Odin to flash it. I recently tried to flash a root package, which failed every time, then my stock image, which failed about 14 out of 15 tries. Once the Stock ROM flashed successfully, I breathed a sigh of relief and gave up.
Is there something specific that could be causing Odin to fail so consistantly? My phone is stock 4.3,recovery, unrooted, with locked bootloader and SIM.
I've seen recommendations that a Factory Reset be performed after flashing a new ROM, which I have not done. What is the logic behind this?
I'd be willing to try, but without root (aka without Titanium BackUp) a Wipe is not ideal. That being said, if I put all these flashing issues behind me, I'd happily give it a try.
I am curious to try Mobile Odin as well, which of course requires root.
The fact that both Odin and Kies failed to flash my device is curious. I'd like some suggestions on how to proceed.
I'd be happy not flashing custom ROMs, however I do feel that root access is a requirement for my usage.
Anyone?

search for newest samsung mobile usb driver... make sure its the latest one and download it
uninstall the good for nothing kies software... reboot your pc and install the samsung mobile usb driver.
then connect your device and let windows reinstall the driver....
then try odin again.
Thanks. I ditched Kies once it failed to flash my device, then failed to recover it.
I will try reinstalling the driver. The one I have installed likely came from the "Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit", which hasn't been updated awhile.
I will try and report back.

Interesting. Samsung's Canadian site does not have USB drivers, and the US version doesn't include my model... I will keep digging.

Ok, I've resolved my issues and will post here for others should they have the same. My issue was caused by usb drivers. Uninstall Kies, and any Samsung drivers you may have installed. Reboot your pc, and install the latest Samsung drivers from here, for your device.

After, plug in your phone, and let Windows install what it needs. Then proceed with Odin as normal.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

[Q] Odin a stock firmware

If i use odin to flash a stock firmware will it delete all of the pictures inside the phone?
No. I have pictures and music and all SD card contents dating back to the time I bought the phone and I used Odin last week to return to stock.

No, but you may need to factory reset, which would delete all the files in your device..
There are possible ways trying to get around this, but its safer to just back up your important files in case something unexpected happens

Hmm.. Ok try flashing firmware with Odin, if that doesn't fix it then flash twrp recovery and reboot to recovery, after that do a factory reset within twrp.. This will perform a factory reset without wiping user files.. Reboot and it should boot up

Right, but you're not flashing a rom, you're flashing firmware.. You could also just flash a rom, but I don't know how your buddy wants his device

What firmware version did you try to flash? If it was ever updated to 4.3 you can only ever flash the same or newer firmware again. So if it had been updated to NC2 before, you can only flash NC2 firmware. (Latest version). If this doesn't apply, you might want to try reinstalling drivers. Also, only use Odin v3.07 or 3.09.
You can try to odin flash twrp recovery though, then make a nandroid backup to be safe. It also has a built in file manager and you can use it to copy the picture folder from internal to external sd card.

I downloaded the latest 4.3 and tried to flash that but didnt work im not sure what the phone had before and can i flash the twrp recovery if the phone wasnt rooted?
Yes, you can flash a custom recovery without root. Its actually the original root method if I'm not mistaken. (Flash recovery, then from that recovery flash the SuperSU update zip. )
Since youre using the latest firmware, we know that's not the cause at least.
Few other things that are known to cause Odin to fail...
Make sure you are using the correct firmware for the device. (Make sure if its a T999, T999L, T999N, T999V and use the corresponding firmware)
If kies is on your computer, uninstall it
Try different usb cables, yes they quite often do go bad.
Try every usb port on your computer. I've seen more than a few people find it only worked on one usb port! No idea why...
Try different driver versions. Make sure you uninstall through device manager. Drivers are in my sig.
If all else fails, try a different computer if possible.
If I think of anything else ill add it.

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.
