Remove the battery before you go into download mode and put it back in once Odin recognizes your phone.

Yeah I got stuck there too...putting the battery back in worked wonders!

Yeah, it worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. Finally, I have my custom rom on my droid charge.

What do you do it f you have a devise that doesn't have a removable battery?

hi guys i have the same problem with sm-n900 note 3 but removing the battery does nothing please help me out

my phone wont recognize it. how can I fix it. help me please

Sorry to hear that. Could you try using a different USB cable or PORT? Let the phone be connected in Odin mode and remove the battery. Wait for 2 - 5 minutes and assemble the battery again.

Soft Brick Help?

I just got a SGS2 Skyrocket and was using odin. It didn't make any progress for 3 hours so I unplugged (I know not to but I didn't know an alternative either). Anyway, I am now getting the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Error message. I read in another thread that I should re-enter Odin to try to fix it, but I can no longer get into download mode. What's the next step here? I know this topic has been discussed, but I really want to make sure I do this right.

When you see that "error" screen you should be in download mode. If not do this. Pull battery and reinsert. Hold the up /down volume and plug in USB. Should kick you into download mode.

I had the same issue.. your in download mode.. try pushing your rom of choice through odin again, but use a different usb port. Your basically still in download mode.

Yup, despite the error message you're seeing you should still be able to flash the stock .tar. The phone won't look like it's doing anything--you'll still see the error message--but if Odin sees it you should be fine.
I had this happen to me too and it worked fine.

Well I am at the step where you insert the TAR file for the PDA slot on odin and I can only get this far:

<ID:0/003> boot.img
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> system.img.ext4
I used the i727 TAR instead of the i727R TAR file. That's the only thing I can imagine changing to make this work.
Am I suppose to be choosing a ROM at this point as well? Where do I get a pit file if I need one?

Here is process.

Same Problem
Hey im new at this and i'm having the same problem. my issue is i have the error message and did what you guys said and reattempted Odin. it recognizes the phone and says
<ID:0/004>Complete(Write) operation failed.
and above the yellow box in Odin is a red box that says Fail!
i have tried this a few times and this is the only result i get.
i think i might have done something wrong with the tar file, i downloaded the correct one and i used 7-Zip to convert the rar to tar and odin now recognizes the file but idk if i was supposed to do that. Any help is greatly appreciated!
sorry for being an idiot i figured out what i did wrong

Yes you must unzip the. 7z file the tar is inside. Unzip it with 7zip then run odin and select the unzips tar file in the pda section of odin

Flashing back to stock

I'm attempting to get back to stock. I'm currently on one of the CM10 nightlies and don't like the all the data and sound issues I'm getting.
I've downloaded the stock firmware and kernal. I go into Odin, download mode etc. I can download the kernal to my device but whenever I attempt the firmware I keep getting the same error:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I figured it was a download error but I've tried the download multiple times from a few different links in the forums all with no success.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

1. At the downloading screen, plug your phone into your computer
2. Run Odin (I used Odin3 v3.09)
3. Uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
4. Select PIT and load a .pit file ( Search forum for right PIT file)
5. Click Start
It will fail and your Message box will look like this

6. Now uplug your phone from the computer and reboot.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the partition file info gets corrupted or lost and doing this either rewrites the partition info file or tells the system where to look for it. I could be wrong but it is the only thing that works for me.
Wish you luck! Peter :fingers-crossed:

This should be a sticky, thanks my tablet is working again. Thank you Tanker32

Can't root OG1 - help

My Galaxy S5 (Sprint) updated to G900PVPU3BOG1 "OG1" firmware.
SInce then I can not root the phone with CF-Auto_root as usual. I tried TWRP (my fav), Clockworkmod, & philz touch. All give me a FAIL in ODIN.
I tried ODIN 3.10 and 3.09.
I also tried to flash custom ROMs with ODIN with similar FAIL in ODIN.
Now, I've flashed and rooted my S3 and S5 a number of times of different PCs without issues but nothing seems to work since I got OG1.
Is this a security issue with OG1? Am I missing something? I've exhausted all options I know of.

I am also having this same issue when trying to use CF autoroot and if I try to flash any custom recovery.

I have OG1 on my S5 and never had a problem with getting root. I used Odin3_v3.10.7 and used CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5. TWRP works well but I used Philz. Try this order when rooting. Its seems to me its always something small that your missing.
Put your phone in download mode
activate odin and then plug in your phone to the usb.
click on the AP tab load the md file from cf auto root
make sure your comm port shows up and is blue, if all is right
click the start button and in 9 seconds you should be rooted and then follow up with twrp or Philz and you should be all set...

So after many many attepts and failures I saw a post that said that the problem that I was running into was that I had reactivation lock on. I shut off reactivation lock and my phone rooted and allowed me to install a custom recovery without any issue. Hopefully this helps others who are having this same problem

That was it!! The reactivation lock option was checked.
Back to normal now, rooted, etc. Thanks!

Glad you got rooted..

would this be the fix if i'm on OG1 update?

Just make sure that it is unchecked. Then you can flash a recovery with ODIN and then supersu if you want rooted stock.

can i change a recovery.img into a md5 file so i can flash it?

Go here, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15340
Download either the first one on the page the KTsoonez TWRP or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar. Turn off phone and reboot to download mode (power + home + vol down) . Open ODIN on the computer when the phone is in download mode. Connect phone to computer. ODIN should recognize it. Put recovery in PA slot and check auto reboot. Hit start and the recovery should flash in a few seconds. After it is finished, unplug phone and pull battery. turn on phone normally and let it boot. Download this file https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and copy to phone SD. Turn off phone. Turn on phone to recovery power+vol up+home and Install Zip and select this file you just downloaded. Reboot. You are rooted.

So I'm trying to root my roommates S5 G900P/OG1 with Odin 3.10.7 and I cant disable the reactivation lock on it. It will let me put in his password then it goes back to the security page with the lock still on. Ive tried the factory reset workaround to no avail. Ive searched and searched. Does anyone have any ideas?
