Trouble with Odin - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. I have an SM-T700. I'd like to try a 6.x version of Android so I need to update the boot loader. I'm having trouble with Odin though. I installed the drivers a few different ways. My PC recognizes the tablet when android is booted, but not when I put it in download mode. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Or is there an easier way?

Put it in download mode instead of recovery mode.
Also there is no Android 6.0 yet unless it's a custom build.

Thanks for the reply. It's in download mode but Odin does not see it. I keep getting a pop up saying the driver is not installed. There are a couple Marshmallow roms out there but they need the updated boot loader.

Install the driver while in download mode then make sure you see your device in device manager.

2. You have the latest firmware - http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SM-T210R.html.
3. No, the device does not support a simcard.
4. The device is WiFi only and is not locked. Phones in the US are locked to specific carriers. To unlock the phone means to allow the phone to work on any carrier.

All of my posted recoveries work fine. You didn't follow the directions close enough. Make sure you flash the universal root.zip once you get the recovery working. If not, it will re-install the stock recovery automatically.
Please explain how you are trying to add TWRP or CWM to your device. Do not leave out any details. This what we can see if you are missing a step. It should be a very simple process if the steps are followed correctly (as mentioned above). So please explain how you are doing it and what tools you are using.
Thanks

I think step 7 is where you might be going wrong. Again, I THINK, I could be mistaken. But I would say start the tablet in normal mode before attempting to go into recovery. After the tablet starts, go ahead and shut it down. Then try and go into recovery mode.
Also, did you start Odin as an administrator? It sounds like you are OK in that regard as you got it going and loading. But if you are still having problems then try executing Odin as administrator.
Which .tar file are you loading? Is it one of the recovery files such as TWRP or CWM?
The only other thing might be the version of recovery you are trying to load. Make sure it works with your tab and firmware. I am sure you have already checked that, but just in case you forgot.

In your number 7, you should be holding volume up to get into recovery. When you see the Tab 3 logo, release the power button but continue holding home and volume up until you get into recovery.

[Q] odin on and off

It seems that when I connect my phone to odin a com port opens. When I put my phone into recovery mode the com port does not open so odin does not see my phone. Yes I do have the phone in debug mode. Samsung drivers are in.

Depending on your phone model and what method you are trying to use to root, you may need to flash SuperSU via recovery. This process does not, however, start in recovery. It starts with flashing custom recovery via Odin and then manually booting to recovery to flash the SuperSU zip. To flash a custom recovery via Odin, you would need to boot into download mode. There are other methods, of course, to root that do not require either download or recovery modes. What's the model of your phone and what firmware version are you on?
Have you tried flashing a pre-rooted ROM? You have an i747 or i747m?

The phone is a SGH-I747M ver. 4.3
I tried rooting based on a number of videos as to easily follow the process.

I have a i747m, The situation is that odin only opens the com port when the phone is in operating mode.

I should have stated my goal. My goal is to put kitkat on my phone. After talking to my provider (petro mobility) on the Rogers network no upgrades are going to be provided and at the very least I need an s4 or better s5 to run kitkat. Also this information I was given is NOT official but only the opinion of an employee"s personal opinion, having worked for the company for some time. The phone is not supported in any way by petro mobility but is only running on the Rogers network. If any upgrades are made it will be by Rogers. Rogers will not say anything because I am not a Rogers customer.
To flash a Kit Kat ROM, you need to have a custom recovery installed on your phone.
You can load Philz Touch via Odin.You can flash the latest tar Philz d2lte from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte
Boot into download mode, put the Philz tar file in the PDA section of Odin, check nothing except auto reboot and F.Reset Time.
Boot into recovery mode and you will see that Phil has replaced the stock recovery.
You can copy a custom rom to your external micro SD card and flash it.
If you just want a rooted stock ROM, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=34317218
Warning: doing all of these things can soft or hard brick your phone. Make sure you read and understand everything before proceeding. The method I described worked my i747m with 4.1.2 and another i747m with 4.3. I cannot guarantee it will work for you.

My next step is to go get Rom Manager from the app store...watching their video now on Rom Manager.. Very high learning curve for me- hope I don't brick the phone ....

Now you have custom recovery, you can flash a Kit-Kat based custom ROM. There is, of course, a difference between a Kit-Kat based custom ROM and official Kit-Kat 4.4. We have information and I'm sure they are reliable enough, that Kit-Kat 4.4 will be rolled out for Samsung GS III and all its variants including the i747U/M. The expectation has, however, been on for some time and no one really knows when and if. If you are using a custom ROM, you will not be able to get OTA updates for official firmware if the official version is rolled out but manual updates will still be possible, thanks to the development community.

I don't personally use ROM Manager as I find it redundant. Now that you have Philz which can flash pretty much any KK ROM, you can just stick with using Philz to flash.
I like the Validus ROM on the i747m. I find it works well and has great battery life and performance.
BTW, you do not need to root in order to flash a custom ROM.

[q] cant unroot my phone or delete super su

I RECENTLY UPDATED MY LG G3 TO LOLLIPOP 5.0 AND I CANT OPEN SUPER SU, I TRIED DOING ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT THINGS TO UNROOT MY PHONE... WHEN I DO THE PROCESS WHERE I PLUG USB INTO COMPUTER AND HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN WHILE PLUGGING IT IN, THE PHONE WONT DOWNLOAD IT STAYS AT 0%. .. THE LG FLASH TOOL I CANT DOWNLOAD. IT KEEPS BRINGING UP ERRORS.. I TRIED DOWNLOADING FROM 3 DIFFERENT PLACES... I JUST WANT TO GET BACK TO MY STOCK PHONE....
After trying all of that to remove the issue when launching SuperSU "There is no SU BINARY installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!", it still isn't resolved.
Any help?

Make Sure the LG Usb drivers are installed. Then The phone must be off. After that hold the Volume Up button, plug in the usb cable to the computer while holding the volume up button. Let go only when you see the screen get to the download mode. Only then can you use the LG Flash tool for KDZ

If download mode doesn't work you need to push these files fastboot with adb commands. Go to THEPagel's thread with all the stock zips and extract those out and push each and every individual files via fastboot. Remember you need fastboot and adb installed on your computer before proceeding. If you are new to fastboot and adb then suggest searching for a tutorial on that before even attempting this.

like I said in my other post. Download a stock 5.0 lollipop rom. After your done flashing don't flash twrp. It's going to ask you that you're not rooted and if you will like to root. Press no then reboot. There you go back to stock without twrp and root.

Pls Help! Installed Xposed

I just rooted my S6 Edge plus. I then tried installing Xposed framework through TWRP. Afterwards, it would boot to a black screen for like 5 minutes, and then jump to the Sprint LTE screen. It just stays there, and applying a factory reset did not work. Please tell me I didn't completely brick my device!
