So I have an N8013, completely and totally stock updated with all the latest from KIES/OTA.
I just want to root it. I have searched and what I have found so far is rooting via Exynos Exploit (can't because of OTA patch) and ODIN.
But from what I understand ODIN is for rooting, CWM and flashable ROM's.
I don't want to flash any ROM's. I wan't to root, run titanium backup and triangle away.
So the quickest current method to root a stock device and leave everything else intact is....?

As you can't run the exynos exploit you will need to use ODIN... You Aren't changing roms or kernels but obtaining root and installing a custom recovery.
If you don't want to have a custom recovery use chainfires cf-autoroot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
This will give root access but leave everything else stock. You will need to run triangle away to reset flash counter...

Lol, just came back ehre to say I found chainfire's method.
Now I have an issue. I followed all instructions to the letter.
I rebooted in download mode and did not select any options.
I then plugged in my USB cable, fired up ODIN, selected my .MD5 file (both ODIN and .MD5 file were downloaded from the links in the thread).
This is the ODIN output:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifi-p4notewifiue-gtn8013.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
So basically nothing happens. I installed SuperSU from the play store, but it won't run.
My current ROM is still stock, ver
JZO54K.B8013UEUCMD3
Android 4.1.2
Kernel 3.0.31-813049
Model: GT-N8013
In the past when I have rooted a Galaxy S, ODIN filled in #'s in part of the window. I have attached a SS.
I think I might be missing a step? But I have gone over the instructions line by line three times and I still get the same results. Any help would of course be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

From what I'm looking at there it seems like the Note hasn't been detected. There should be a value in id:com box....
All it looks like it did was check the MD5 sum...
Have you connected the Note to the PC before? If not, you might require the USB drivers needed by installing KIES. Remember to exit KIES before you try flashing with ODIN though as it can cause problems...

Did you forget to set your Note to 'Download Mode'?
Before connecting the Note to your PC, you have to set your Note to 'Download Mode'.
Turn off your Note, then press and hold Power and Volume-Down buttons, until you get a screen that says 'Press Volume Up'. You should be in download mode now. If you have Odin open on your PC, and when you connect your Note, you should see your Note being detected. I forgot, but the first box on ODIN turns Yellow. You can flash the .MD5 now.

Man I feel like a fool, lunadomain is correct. You need to go to download mode before using ODIN...
Should've thought of that myself but because I've been doing this for years it's a step that's sort of automatic... Also shift work over 8 or 9 days straight doesn't help....

Yeah, I do that and I get this screen:
Android System Recovery (3e)
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CDC-code : XAR
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
After that I fire up ODIN, plug in the tablet and nothing.
I just synced it with KIES the other day, and backed up some files so I know the drivers are installed.
Ideas?

I am an idiot.
I was swapping the volume +/- buttons.
Grr.
Ok so it's rebooting.
Will check SU in a sec.
Next is nandroid backup, then some other ROM.
Probably CM10. Who knows.
So I am rooted and de-triangled.
Yay.
But I am sticking with stock. I have almost 50 notebooks in Snote and my research has revealed that Snote won't run on non-Touchwiz ROM's.
Since I can't add Touchwiz to CM10, I am sticking with it.
You don't have to use cm Roms you can always check out touchwood touchwiz based roms
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
ok so I was getting very short on available space so i went in and started deleting things (my fault I know). I have been on 4.2.2 so all my files were in "0". I figured since they were all in that file and I had everything doubled in that file, i started deleting everything in my other file and just kept everything that was in "0". Went to flash a new Rom and all my files were now gone. I deleted all my backups in that file also (I'm kicking myself right now).
So now I'm stuck in Recovery with nothing i can do. What can I do now??
Maybe try to odin
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
OK, so I flashed the unroot files through Odin. Went through successfully, but now I'm stuck on the stock splash screen. Any ideas? some reason when i try to get into recovery, it just vibrates.
Give me the link to the odin file you flashed. I'm curious why it was an unroot flash. When you boot into recovery, You can copy a new ROM file into your sdcard and flash a new ROM via ADB.
I'm starting to freak out a little bit here. I'm in odin trying to flash it back to stock and I'm not having any luck here. Someone got some time to help?
I can now flash into recovery but my up and down buttons dont work, so the only option I have at that point is to reboot, which then send me into the splash.

Hi,
Have you ever stuck in a cwm bootloop(reboot to clockworkmod again and again) or stuck at the boot screen in your GT-S7500?
I will show you how to fix it. (ONLY GT-S7500 NO OTHER VARIANTS !)
There is only one way to fix it:reinstall your stock firmware.
First,download needed files here:1)The firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and type in the Search option "GT-S7500" and choose your country
And if you want another firmware to another country search by google or www.samsung-updates.com This site is better due the shutdoen of hotfile,samsung-updates uploaded firmware to mirrors
2)odin3 v1.85
Extract files.
Now turn off you phone and go to download mode by pressing volume down+home+power
Connect your phone to your computer and open odin3.Wait until ID:COM turn yellow.
"Auto reboot" and "F.reset time" must be checked and "Re-partion" must be UNCHECKED.
Now press PDA in odin and choose the firmware that you have downloaded(the stock firmware must be a .tar or .md5 file) and press START.
Wait 4 to 5 minute to finish the process.And when it is finished you will see "PASS" in odin.
Now your phone will reboot.Wait until your phone finish rebooting and unplug your ace +
Thats it!your phone will turn on again now! Press thanks if i helped you.
Enjoy!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yes jsut unzip the file that you have downloaded and you will get 2 files:
1)the firmware .tar.md5
2)A dll file
The .tar.md5 file is the firmware to put on odin
Thank you for your help!!! :good::good:
First off: This is my very first try.
Not sure if I did something wrong or I'm just too stupid to follow the instructions..
So, I visited that firmware-site, downloaded the german firmware and Odin.
turned my phone on via download mode and connected my phone to my laptop and started Odin.
no problems so far until Odin is running.. the ID:COM-thingy doesn't show anything up at all so I thought I might just click on "Start" anyway

Thats not a big problem:
Try these tow things:
1)Try with a different version of odin (like 3.04/1.87 ...)
2)If it didn't work you have to install samsung drivers or install kies
Ok, the ID:COM thingy is fixed now, thanks a lot!
Kies is updated to the latest version, it says FAIL! in Odin now, though.
Any way to fix that? I guess followed your steps corretly.. turned my phone on in download mode, pressed vol+, connected it to the cable.

I know people have struggled to track this ROM down so here you all go. Separate files all Odin-flashable. The AP is zipped because it halves the size. Just unzip and good to go.

All at once, but apparently you cannot downgrade. I spent hours trying to flash PF1 from multiple sources and always failed on flashing boot but then I tried flashing PL1 for the heck of it and it worked like a charm the first time.

How do you flash them all at once? Do you use Odin 3.12.3? Is there a certain order that the files should be in? Thank you.

All at once. Just look at the filenames and load each in the appropriate slot.
Example:-
AP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 *.zip goes in AP slot
BL_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes go in BL slot
CP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes in CP slot
CSC_TMK_G550T1TMK1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar.md5 goes in CSC slot
Thank you, I did it and it worked!

The only thing you are doing wrong is skipping over the posts that explain you cannot downgrade to APF1, it will not physically let you. Other than that you are doing everything right.

All at once, but apparently you cannot downgrade. I spent hours trying to flash PF1 from multiple sources and always failed on flashing boot but then I tried flashing PL1 for the heck of it and it worked like a charm the first time.

Look at the firmware you are trying to flash. It ends with PF1....the firmware that succeeds it is PL1 and after that in not sure. Once you update from PF1 to another firmware you can never downgrade back to PF1, but you can downgrade from other more recent firmwares to PL1, why I am not sure.
can anyone help me plz i need an imei certificate for the smg550t1 / on5 metro pcs or a back up of any on5 efs

Ah, ok seems simple enough. Would you still happen to have your PL1 files that you can upload?

No that was a long time ago....may I ask why you want to flash old firmware? It will prompt you to update to the newest anyways as soon as you boot up the phone so it seems counter productive...

As above (and FYI), my SM-G550T1 current build is MMB29K.G550T1UVU2AQC4. I'm just a novice and rooting/unlocking/flashing my first android. Do I need a copy of the stock ROM or will my Nandroid backup suffice? If so, I understand that the PL1 version is ok for my to use if need be. I guess the PL1 version is here on this site somewhere or I can Google it?
Thanks for all your attentiveness and insight....I would have been right among those flashing myself into a veritable slap-happy dither had I not benefited from the prior posts.

Hello,
I've been trying for the past 3 days to flash the latest version of Android 9.0 on my S8+ (SM-G955U) from Verizon, since updates for it have never come.
The baseband of the firmware I've been trying to flash on my S8+ through Odin is G955USQU5DSD3, but it keeps giving me this error:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

Needless to say, I went on a Googling spree to try to fix this problem with no avail.
It apparently has something to do with my Laptop not being able to communicate with my phone, so I tried utilizing every other port it had, didn't work.
Then tried with different cables, even bought new ones, also didn't work. Utilized all sorts of different versions of Odin3 in Administrator Mode, such as v3.13.1, v3.13.1_3B, v3.13.3 and PrinceComsy, no dice.
And yes, I have the Samsung ADB Drivers installed, SmartSwitch uninstalled and USB Debugging on.
The OS my phone is currently running is the Android 9.0 Beta (G955USQU5DRL5) that leaked back in December and I installed doing this tutorial: https://bit.ly/2T7LhD0
I've tried all sorts of other methods such as https://bit.ly/2H7V7jY, but they didn't work. Heck, I've even tried downgrading the OS to G950USQS5CRK1 and G955USQS5CRL1 but again, same error, so at least I don't think its because of the firmware.
Any suggestions?

Not sure I can help since you have done most of the of what I was going to suggest
Has odin worked before on your PC?
Try installing latest Samsung USB drivers on your PC ( not ADB drivers)
Try a different PC
I know you said you have tried everything but in the link you posted the technique seemed a littled different than what worked for me after about 4 days of trying everything.
I am trying to find the post that I got this from but there are so many to sort thru so I'm still looking. I'll try and give credit when i find it.
Make sure odin is closed and I just close everything honestly so i know there isnt any kind of interference.
So first step is reboot to download using the volume down, bixby button and power. Once there do not press any other buttons. Simply plug in your usb cord to the phone and set it down.
Next open odin as an administrator and load the firmware files to their slots.
Once that is finished and its not thinking anymore go ahead and push volume up.
Soon as you see "COM:XX" pop up hit start and cross your fingers. I bet I tried about 10 times before it finally worked. It would fail differently so I knew I was on the right track. My model is a SM-G955U but it would not accept that firmware. I ended getting the SM-G955U1 firmware that was from a month past the last firmware my phone had on it to work.
You may have tried all and like me thought it was a load of crap but it for real worked with a little perseverence, rode a unicorn to catch a leprachaun, under a falling store on my birthday while the birthday candle was still lit and it worked!!!
Good luck bro,
FreshOut

When I installed the Beta back in December, I did it on my old desktop PC. So technically no, Odin hasn't worked before on the Laptop I'm using right now, it's in fact the first time I try to use it there. Tried the Samsung USB drivers suggestion, looks like I already had those installed.
Using a different PC seems like the only thing left for me to try, which I unfortunately can't for a while, hence why I'm trying to find other solutions so desperately

Hey man thanks for the suggestion, been trying to do just as you say and honestly I'm not seeing any difference in the process, it's still giving me the same error just like it would if I had done it normally, no "failing differently" every attempt.
I'm guessing that each time it fails, you unplug and restart the phone as well as close Odin for another attempt?
i cant flash anything on drl4. tried everything also.

Yeah each time it failed I would hold the three button combo down until it rebooted to the download mode confirmation screen and then start the whole process over again. One thing I did forget to mention but I'm not sure if it played a part in finally being able to flash with odin is that i completely disabled my firewall so that all ports were wide open. I read somewhere about the firewall causing issues so eliminated it while I was trying to use odin.
I was messing around with the same phone some more since I posted and still had issues with odin so im not sure exactly what Im doing differently sometimes. Im ready to crash out now but I will try and take a screenshot of my drivers when I flash with odin again so you can compare it to yours.
Hope you get it figured out man. Frustrating as hell I know!!! I was ready to smash the thing into into a wall and count how many pixels there really are lol. Good luck bro!!
P.S. One last thing I completely spaced. Im on a laptop also. (Acer Nitro 5 with AMD....) I have a powered USB 3.0 hub running off a my USB 3.0 port and its only when I was plugged into the fast charging with a 3.0 cable that I finally got success. Everything Ive read says flashing thru a hub is a no no but IDGAF anymore and it worked. Try at your own risk but that does seem to be what affected my whole debauchle.
Oh my god it finally worked.
I tried doing what was in this link again: https://bit.ly/2H7B9FW , which I remember trying before and not working. In my desperation I attempted to do it again and the rest is history.
I had turned my Firewall off, in case that did anything. Good luck to anyone else having this problem!
So I just use my SS10 usb 3.1 ports for odin and that takes care of the problems with odin. not sure which odins im using. maybe prince cosmy. but changing usb ports have solved all my odin issues and flashes on the s8+. Im now operating on G955U1UES6DSI1, the latest firmware on the unlocked 955u1.
