Problems using philz_touch files to root tab - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to follow this thread to root my tab but something is going wrong. I have downloaded the latest for my tab, load the philz_touch_5.0.5-p1143.tar.md5 in odin and have put the zip on my external sd card. The issue is the firmware never seems to load correctly in the first stage to get me to the point that I can continue on to step two which is flashing the zip file from the sd card. I start odin and load the tar file with pda selected, boot the tab into download mode and connect it to the computer. Odin shows it connected and i click start...after a few seconds and showing progress of it uploading the file it says passed with a green box and reboots the tab for me. Now I'm suppose to go to step two and use the new recovery that should have been uploaded to flash the philz_touch zip file but it's the same old factory recovery and not the new one that odin was suppose to upload so i can flash from the sd card.
Hardware: P5113
Ver: 4.1.1
This is the thread i'm following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
These are the files i'm using ..the tar and zip for p5113
http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16057#files
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to root this tab, take a nandroid backup and flash a new rom like CM to it.

As you can see it seems successful, the box turns green and says passed but booting into recovery mode for step two still has the factory one and does not have an option to install zip from sdcard ..just the usual upgrade.

Use CF-Auto Root

[Q] Having trouble upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2

I have an ATT Samsung SGH-i727 running 2.3.6.
I tried to update it to 4.1.2 stock ATT with Kies, but Kies did not work; it said it could not contact the upgrade server.
So I downloaded Odin 1.85, downloaded ATT stock 4.1.2, and selected the ROM with the PDA button and pressed start. Auto reboot and Reset time were checked.
An hour or two passed and Odin was hanging on system.img.ext4. It never completed. I rebooted, and now it is stuck in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selecte recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried starting over in Odin, but it says that the write operation failed when it gets to system.img.ext4.
Any guidance on how to get this working?
Thanks!
P.S. Here is the full log from Odin after trying again:

Re-download the Odin file. It's probably a bad download. Check it's md5 after downloading.
go through the troubleshooting section here [HOWTO] NEWB GUIDES To: | RESTORE TO STOCK
note: in your log this line
"<OSM> KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 is valid"
there is a space between "l" and "o" in the word "low", did you edit the file name b4 using odin or is the space there because of the copy/paste to the post.
if I had to guess it would be driver issues since odin confirmed the md5 was ok, but go through the trouble shooting section from above link
Also a trick I've learned with Odin, instead of just double clicking to open, right click and select run as administrator. haven't had a hang on it since using this method. Maybe that will help.
Fixed
Redownloaded firmware using link in troubleshooting guide and updated successfully. Thanks.

[Q] Help to flash Note 2 with stock ROM 4.3

Hello
I decided to try jedi master x2 (the version of my stock ROM was 4.3). After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though. I'd appreciate if anybody can land me a hand on how to flash stock rom on my device.
Thanks
** Update to the issue above 1/13/14 8:24 AM
I use ODIN 3.09 to upload the md5 I got from samsung.updates.com I get this:

I am able to boot into recovery mode. I have not tried to upload any other ROM to my sdcard and install it there. The stock ROM I had before was Android version 4.3.
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470262&page=3
then I looked at my device and read the following:
custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)
current binary: custom
system status: custom
knox warranty void: 1 <--- I think that's the problem
As you may know knox is a security feature which helps you to securely separate your personal and professional data. Well, in my case is not helping at all.
Another question: How am I going to remove knox with my phone only able to get into recovery or download mode?

Galaxy note edge wiped and can't install any ROMS

hello all,
I'm a noob and i messed up my note edge. I rooted it on stock kk 4.4.4 rom from Rogers and installed superuser and twrp. I wanted to do a factory reset through the settings and reset and erase everything but it won't allow me to. Every time i select erase it would just do nothing. Do i thought I'd be smart and enter twrp by holding volume up, home, and power button then wipe everything. Now when i power on the phone it just boot loops with the original Samsung galaxy note edge splash screen. I am unable to find the original rom for my N915W8 Rogers phone so i read I'm done forums a T-Mobile rom should work. I downloaded a lollipop T-Mobile rom and tried to flash it with Odin but comes up as fail. I tried to put the zip file into my external micro sd card and use twrp to install and it failed again. Any help is greatly appreciated. My end goal is to be able to get the lollipop Rogers rom with root back on my phone.
Thanks
Enter Download Mode and use Odin to restore the stock ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I tried ODIN but unable to flash. It fails right away.

Any other clue? I think the problem is I have no data in my phone. I am thinking it needs some base to work off of. Please don't laugh at my logic lol.

And I think I flashed CF-Root correctly. Tried to boot, Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the .img one) and now it proceeds to recovery after boot screen.
I tried restarting to system with TWRP and it went into a bootloop.
Am I on the right track? I mean is it supposed to be like that until I do a factory reset? I'm scared cause the ROM is still downloading lol how do I put it in the device's internal memory? Will I be able to in Download Mode?
On a PC running Windows XP right now, Samsung's USB Drivers don't seem to work whatsoever. I'll try it on my laptop and we'll see.
(p.s. should I have opted for the one-click rooting and stuff? Idk the guide tells me to do it via Odin so yea lol)
Since you were on 5.0.2 you could've used the PingPongRoot to easily root your phone. I did that but then after a while I thought I want a custom ROM so I updated to 5.1.1 and tried to use odin to root my phone but got the same issue as you.
After a few hours of struggeling I got out of the bootloop by doing an emergency software recovery from Smart Switch. However I'm not sure if it will recover to 5.0.2 or download the latest 5.1.1 in your case.
Nonetheless when I got my phone to work again I just flashed UniKernel with TWRP and then I was rooted.
I wont touch odin ever again I'm too nooby for that and it caused me to panic so hard with that goddamn bootloop.
I hope you get it solved!

s6 SM-G920F no rom can't push rom and trouble with ODIN

Hi everyone,
I was trying to install CM for my galaxy s6 (SM-G920F), however i forgot to root the phone beforehand. I have installed TWRP custom recovery to install the CM rom, I then went about installing CM by clearing: cache, data, dalvik cache and system before installing the rom. when i then selected the CM rom to install in TWRP I got a binary error and so the rom failed to install and I now have no OS on my phone. I have tried putting it in download mode and flashing the stock rom (G920FXXU1AOCV) back to it using Odin 3, i then got this error message:

Also while in TWRP, I installed the adb and fastboot drivers onto my computer. I then dropped the ROM and GAPPS files into the same install directory as “Minimal ADB and Fastboot”. I right clicked and held shift and opened a command prompt in that folder. I then proceeded to do “adb push <rom_name> /sdcard/" and the same for the gapps, but each time I tried this, in the command prompt and it just said "no such directory", not pushing the files to the computer.
please help get my s6 back!
download mode and than smart switch.. go back to stock and than root and recovery... by the way.. if you are using windows 10.... there have been reports for connection problems.. something that has to do with the samsung usb drivers...
