Odin stucks at "setup connection" while flashing the new T830XXU2ARJ3 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

When I try to flash the new OXM firmware T830XXU2ARJ3 with Odin 3.13.1, it stucks at "setup connection".
I've already tried it multiple times with different solutions I found in the web.
I used various cables (all are original), USB-ports and operating systems and I've already restarted the tablet multiple times in the download mode.
I downloaded the firmware with SamFirm, also three times until now.
Do you have any ideas what could be the problem?

Reinstall drivers, uninstall Kies, (use a different usb port/cable) witch you have done so ignore.. Try a different version of Odin, use a different pc
or Rightclick -> Run as administrator try that...
Turn of your Tab S4, wait about ten mins turn back on then try.. Also if you have SD Card remove that then try...

I solved the problem.
It seems to be that the Tab S4 only has an USB 2.0 Type-C port and because of that, it's not compatible with the USB 3.1 ports in my PC.
As soon as I connect it to an USB 2.0 port from an older PC, it works flawless.

Yea, I had the same issue when I tried to flash mine on my Desktop.... had to bust out a USB 2.0 port on a older laptop for it to work.

Cannot connect to PC after ROMupdate

I hard-SPLled my device and unpreded ROM Miri v3.0 on it. After the upgrade the device could not connect to my PC via ActiveSync or Mobile Center.
I tried with several PCs, laptops and many cables.
It should be 'soft'ware, since the problem started after ROM upgrade.
So, I figured it was because of the ROM, so downgraded to official 6.1 ROM, but connecting is still not possible. The official ROM included bootloader, radio and OS, btw.
Now I am stuck with a device that cannot connect to any PC! I always get a message of an unknown device that connects, later on followed by a message of an unknown USB device.
And yes, tried to remove the speed-up of ActiveSync. Also tried as USB storage, but I get the unknown USB device all the time...
Please help, I don't know what to try now!
Try a different USB cable. Might be a good idea to buy a brand new one. They tend to go corrupt easily.

Have you tried using a differant usb port? I had to do that with a miri rom on my "old" Blackstone. I did have trouble with miri roms doing that on my Touch HD,for some strange reason.
You could also go to the threads in that forum and read what people have done to remedy that problem on the HD, as it should also work on our Tilt 2.
Later..............

try rebooting your pc, also try a different usb port on your comptuer and then try another usb cable. i have read somewere that some computers do not put out enough voltage on the usb ports, so this said, after you try the previous suggestions grab your cable and try another computer, after you install activesynce of course .
Thanks for thinking with me!
I tried several PCs, so, yes, different USB ports.
Also tried several cables that proved to be ok with other devices, including one ExtUSB cable.
Of cause resetted PCs before connecting and first installing ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center (depending on OS: WinXP or Vista)
When connecting to USB connections that worked before now sometimes the Touch tells me there is insufficient power... That's strange too! It would mean the device needs more than 500mA in some cases (because it's the only device connection to the USB) - but this is on more USB ports of different computers!
So I tried everything qua hardware... Don't know what to do now.

Have you considered -- or tried -- flashing to a different ROM via the sd-card method? The method where you put the RHODIMG.nbh file in the root of your sd card (by removing card and using a card reader attached to PC), then put the TP2 in bootloader and it flashes the new ROM from the sd card...something like that?
I probably didn't describe this quite right -- I haven't done it myself -- but lots of people prefer this rom-flashing method. Find/check-out the procedure elsewhere on this forum.
If it works then maybe you'd get away from the problem-rom...if the rom is really the problem.

[Q] Can't connect to Kies through USB tried several things...

OK, did a search in this forum for "Found New Hardware SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" as well as "connect to Kies USB XP" and other variations of these. I believe I have tried all suggestions that I have found, but advice would be appreciated
Firstly, I have a Dell mini 10 running xp that my E4GT connects to fine through Kies. My E4GT is running StarburstROM 1.9.5 with LoStKernel 1.0.0.8+EXP
My old HP pavilion, running the same version of XP however just says over and over "Found New Hardware SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" and the new hardware sound plays about every 5 seconds.
After a fresh install of the most recent version of Kies, I tried
Different USB ports
Different cables
Making sure no files have extensions longer than 15 characters. (or was it 16...?)
Recovering the drivers through Kies
Downloading and reinstalling/reapplying the USB drivers found in various links here on XDA
Uninstalling and reinstalling Kies
Going to Device Manager, right clicking on the yellow triangle of the samsung mtp device and directing the computer to install drivers from there
Still I get an endless loop of Found new hardware. Unplugging results in "a problem occurred during hardware installation...etc" Any thoughts I haven't tried yet?
Make sure usb debugging is not checked in settings/development/applications.
what? i thought usb debugging had to be checked?
and either way it shouldn't matter if the phone is in download mode, correct? maybe i am wrong. i would assume that since he got it to work on a different computer it is not a setting on the phone and a problem with the computer reading the device's drivers.
Yeah, USB debugging is off. Tried it with it on just for giggles, but no joy. I may just have to accept that it won't connect to that compy. Can't get it to connect to Kies or even connect just for file transfer. Had same trouble with my OG epic. Maybe something about the original driver install from back then....
I'll try manually removing all drivers associated with the device and see if a reinstall from scratch (again) will work. I'll also check the .net version again, but I think I already did that. Thanks all!

[Q] Stuck Galaxy Nexus

My sprint galaxy nexus is stuck on the phone to pc conection problem screen. I've tried all manner of button pushing to get to the Odin screen to no avail. Odin opens a com port to the phone but trying to flash anything causes Odin to stop working. ADB does not recognize the device. When I attach the phone the computer sees "Samsung USB Driver" in devices so it seems some communication is happening. I've tried all my different cables and usb ports including those that have worked before. Removing drivers via device manager and reinstalling different drivers did not work. Any ideas or links to appropriate threads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Quick update - after a helpful email from one of the JTAG services from ebay (nice guy by the way) I got the phone flashed then up and running.
I manually updated the "Samsung USB Device" with new drivers, used a different tar with a Md5 and Odin 3.04. I have a feeling the manual driver install did the trick but I'm not going back through that again to find out.

Bricked solid

Went into twrp v2.8.7.0 to check something then a reboot when red text appeared int hte upper left corner where stock recovery does saying "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and eventually went into "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" the damn thing will not connect to kies in any way, shape or form I have 2 usb 3.0 ports and 2 usb 2.0 ports. I've tried multiple cables- anker, samsung you name it-musical ports, tried right clicking the 4 usb port hubs and unchecking power saving in power mgnt- nothing- uninstalled kies and reinstalled not checking unified drivers but it will not connect to kies. It isn't recognized by the Samsung drivers yet my the usb drivers see my note 4 is, in device mngr, the note tablet shows up in usb at the bottom as samsung device, I am just perplexed as to how to un**** this thing. If anyone has any suggestion, please let me knoiw thanks
I ended up on that screen recently after a failed firmware flash in Odin. I was attempting to flash the latest 5.1.1 firmware I found on Sammobile. My note (P600) has a finicky micro-USB port, so that could have been the problem.
On second try, it worked just fine. Even though Windows explorer wasn't recognizing my tablet, Odin saw it just fine (you can see where it says "added" after plugging it in). I'd recommend giving that a try.
Thats what got me ant the kies thing besides everything pointing kies being the only way out- odin didnt recognize it's existence- plug, unplug nothing on the odin window… I was actually on 5.1.1 and was fine I just don't know who the hell went wrong
Sorry if this is too obvious, but are you able to get it into download mode before trying ODIN?
Hi no it goes right to "Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" nothing else when I was able to get to download mode before it was not showing up in odin at all.

How the hell you guys are able to use Odin?

(I have a Galaxy S9 Snapdragon)
So ok, Odin is the only way to go. Everything you have to flash/upgrade, you do it by Odin. Ok...
But, Odin's compatibility? WTF !
I have a notebook with 3 USB ports. All of them are 3.0 USB. None of these ports works with Odin (apparently Odin does not support 3.0 USB ports).
Ok, no problem. My mother has an old notebook, with some 2.0 USB ports. It also doesn't work... Tested with three other notebooks and nothing...
But, my mom also has an old "All In One" computer, apparently with some 1.0 and 2.0 USB ports. This is the only computer that I have access that works with Odin.
So here I am, having to keep a huge box in my bedroom, with an old computer, in case I ever need to use Odin...
So tell me, is this normal? Are you guys able to use Odin with 3.0 USB ports? I want to get rid of this huge box and be able to use Odin freely, in any computer.
Also, I'm using the official cable, the correct Odin version (3.14.1 and 3.14.4), installed all the Samsung Drivers, uninstalled Kies, tried with USB-C to USB-C cable and got nothing...
Whenever I flash something, Odin detects my phone, but I get stuck in "SetupConnection...", with the error "Can't open the serial (COM) port."
The only computer that this error does not occur is in this old computer that I have..
#HelpMe
Thanks...
Sounds more like you don't have the correct drivers installed on the other machines, it works fine on USB3.0 ports here
I use Odin with USB3 ports. Done it today and yesterday, using 3.14.1
