[Q] Rooting Tab Pro (SM-T520) -- Stuck at "Initialising Protocol" - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hey all,
This is my first time rooting, so please let me know if I need to provide more info. I will gladly do it!
As the title says, I'm trying to root my Galaxy Tab Pro Wifi (SM-T520), and I'm following picassowifi's guide: wiki.cyanogen mod.org/w/Install_CM_for_picassowifi (sorry for the link, as this is my first post, I can't post a link). I'm on Windows 7, and I'm getting stuck at the first part--flashing recovery. When I use the "heimdall flash --RECOVERY" command, I get stuck at "Initialising Protocol" for an indefinite amount of time. I've spent around 4 hours reading threads of people with similar problems, but none of their solutions work for me. I'm not very familiar with the PIT files, so that may be part of my problem . Anyway, below what I've taken from CMD:
C:\Users\Christopher Robin\Desktop\New folder>heimdall flash --RECOVERY clockwor

If I recall correctly, some people have mentioned to solve some issues by running heimdall as root, for whatever reason. Have you tried heimdall-frontend as well?

[Q] SM-T210 Stuck on firmware upgrade encountered

I have an SM-T210 I tried to flash CWM 6.0.49 using the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
However after doing that and failed according to Odin Tab won´t get out of Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, blah, blah, blah. After the first attempt to flash Odin cannot get pass the Setup connection stage.
It is not a HW issue since the Samsung service center guys got it back in shape in less that an hour. I´m using a VM under Fusion for Mac OSX for everything. I have used that before for another Android phones and worked just fine.
I have tried changing 5 different cables, no luck.
I have tried changing port on the MAC, no luck.
Please help!

You need a Windows OS for Odin and Heimdall.

Working jOdin/Heimdall?

Has anyone got jOdin or Heimdall to work with this device? I'm on OS X and I can't seem to get the libusb bundled with Heimdall to work with my device.
when I run heimdall print-pit --verbose --no-reboot I get:

You have odin working in a VM? I didn't think you could do that....
I've been messing with it but odin always crashes.

Yep. You just have to make sure to select the tickbox for all drivers of the phone to always connect to Windows instead of Mac.

[Q] Failed to install recovery with Haimdall

Hey,
I am running into the problem of installing a custom recovery on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 pro wifi with the most recent updates installed.
I have tried to install twrp using Haimdall on both ubuntu (chromebook with chrouton) and a mac. Both times I have used version 1.4.
No matter what usb cable, computer or usb prot I use, I keep getting the same errors:

I've looked online, but couldn't find what these specific error codes mean. I also noticed that I don't get an error for the first control transfer. I don't have access to a Windows machine any time soon, so I can't use ODIN. I've tried https://jodin3.casual-dev.com/ as well, but that web app doesn't even seem to detect the tablet at all. Any idea's? I'd be super thankful!
Update: got myself a windows pc and installed twrp using odin. Works fine now.
