[Q] Rooting - yes, I searched

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> 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

[Q] [HELP] Stuck at 'Samsung galaxy core 2' logo

So after replacing the digitizer I can't boot up the phone. As I've said in title, I'm stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy Core 2, powered by android' screen.
I tried to re-flash the stock ROM via Odin, everything passes but i always get stuck at the same boot spot.
Power+VolUp+Home doesn't work, only Power+VolDown+Home work.
Does anyone have any suggestion what to do?

I am experiencing a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
I used Kingroot to root my device. I then continued to attempt to install a custom recovery which i eventually accomplished about three hours later, and then attempted to install a custom rom(I don't know if it worked or not!) 9 hours later, I tried to reboot my device. When i turned my phone back on, the screen froze and would not finish booting. (Volume Up+Home+Power and Volume Down+Home+Power both work. I can select different options in bootloader, but when i go to the download page it also freezes)

Don't worry
Just download stock firmware from sammobile.com and odin v3.0.9 and download samsung mobile drivers for pc. Then open download mod by pressing vol down +power+ home button and then open odin and choose downloaded firmware as pda and flash it. Now you can see a blue coloured progress bar on download mod. After it completes, it will reboot your device and it will boot successfully

Do I have to flash all the files at once or one by one or just the AP file. I have been trying all day to get the Firmwear flashed but it fails every time. I have never ran into this problem before.

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.

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.

Stuck at: "an error has occured while updating the device software..."

Hi guys,
I have an S7 - SM-G930F. I tried rooting it, which caused this issue at first. I then tried various stock roms from samsung-firmware to sammobile (Vodafone the Netherlands)... in the end I found one from here, I tried it, only noticing I had the re-partition box checked.
Now my phone is stuck at this blue screen that says: "An error has occured..." - and I can't get into download mode anymore.
I'm scared I screwed this up. Is there still anything I can do?
Even tried with Smart switch and Kies, both give an error after filling in my model name... - "Unsupported device"
Please help..

Hi mate
First calm down , you will fix it
What firmware you had before rooting, Marsmellow , Nougat?
Why you had re partition on? when you had re partition you where using CSC file also?
how did you root?
In this cases the download issue may be caused by the bootloop itself , it becomes a timing issue....try several times and you will get into it eventually.
If you do re flash stock rom again

Thank you for your kindness.
I'm not sure to be honest. I updated it to the max, then I tried rooting it.
I think it got turned on, because this guide told me to add an PIT file.
However, I have managed to get back into download mode. I tried rooting by flashing.
What is the best thing u advice me to do from here?

Hi
good you can get into download that is very good
When you say flashing root you mean by Odin or by recovery?
I would flash a stock rom again using CSC file and re- partition again...just to make sure the partition are the correct ones
Check here
Download the correct firmware and follow the instruction.......

Hi,
I'm happy I still have that possibility.
I rooted by Odin.
I have downloaded an firmware that belongs to the S7... - I will follow the guide.
When you say partition, you mean like this: http://prntscr.com/emplwv ?

Hi
To root in Nougat you have to flash it in custom recovery...by odin is not working
Regarding the picture yes like that BUT use CSC not home_csc , CSC contains the right PIT file

Yes, I downloaded the firmware Nougat.
Can u provide me a link that teaches me to flash it in custom recovery? Because all day I tried flashing Nougat with Odin. Maybe that's the problem.

Hi
Here is the link for recovery and root all in one
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
But i would still recomend to try flashing a stock rom to make sure that everything is correct...then recovery , root or custom rom.......

Hi friend,
I have succesfully got TWRP on it. When I try the stockrom flash through odin like the picture, it fails me every time on 1/5 and says "FAIL!"
Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Why have you ticked re-partition?
Leave ODIN at default settings and only use BL, AP, CP and CSC
If that still fails, try missing out BL and just use the other 3

Now I thought'd be a good idea, to delete the bad files of fail every time.
When I do the AP-CP and CSC it still gives me the "FAIL!" with everything checked on.
I have no image on the phone, so I can't even boot it up anymore.
I did check however "OEM unlocked"... when I do the TWRP, I can boot into recovery.
But no stock roms work. I tried it from samsung-mobile and one from sammobile.
Now I am downloading another stock rom to try...
Also I don't use pit file when doing this. Should I?
What can I do?

http://prntscr.com/en4jag

I have tried 3 different stock roms, and all fail on 1/5th. Even without the BL inserted in. Also tried only doing AP...

Tried doing AP/CP/CSC in Odin v3.10
Then it goes to 2/5 and fails.

Hi
Re partition is an option under some specific cases ( read here)
Try in a different PC / USB cable
Try a different Odin version
Go into recovery wipe dalvik/ cache and do a factory reset, flash again

You need ODIN 3.12.3 minimum for this to work
Download
Code:
https://mega.nz/#!uBwC3KqR!17OPP5A1g9d7-GxAqCbjXFpmYfO7CgAHNcaZxqEkOao
Leave all settings as default, add all 4 sections of the ROM using CSC and try again

Thanks for the info, was not aware of that

God bless you all.
This has resolved my issue:
- Tried it on my desktop (before on my laptop)
- Deleted Kies/Smart Switch
- Took another cable
- Tried the Odin 3.12.3
- Deleted dalvik/cache and factory reset
Works! Love you all. Tried over 8 hours. The solution is not always complicated...
