since the firmware for the t215 is available, it shouldn't be too hard pre-root the firmware and then flash it with odin.
and there's something interesting i've found... the recovery for the t215 boots on the t217s. i haven't tried to do anything with it to see if it's fully functional or not. i haven't tried flashing boot or anything else from the t215 firmware, because i don't want to risk breaking stuff without a working custom recovery.
Thank you for this list, It helped me a lot with my T210.

Using something other than Odin to install Roms, CWM
Hi
My device 210R is already rooted but I have tried to install CWM using ODIN but after I hit the Start button it sits there and does nothing. I am using virtualbox with XP guest so that may be the problem. Everything up to that point works as per the video and it verifies the device and the MD5 of the recovery zip. I don't have a regular XP machine to try this, just using my MAC.
So is there anything else other than ODIN to achieve this? My goal is to flash a new ROM for my 7" Tab. I have root already.
Thanks

Yes it does and has a COM number just as the howto video shows. Everything looks like it should work but when you press START it just sits there saying "SetupConnection" as below:

And it sits there indefinitely. The Samsung drivers are definitely there as I can browse the contents of the tablet mounted as SM-T210R in Explorer.
I'm a bit stumped and therefore was looking for an alternate method, perhaps using ADB on my MAC (or on XP).
Any help appreciated.

New Rocket Tab rom video added to OP
SMT211 from China
Hi,
I'm a newbie. Got my first Android tablet in the form of Tab3 7" from China recently. It was later that I realized that they used a different setup.. a lot of other features / apps that weren't installed.. unlike the Note2 phone I got locally.
So upon reading through some of the posts here and elsewhere in the Net, I realized I needed to hack into this tablet to be able to maximize my use of this, in a way that I maximize my use of my Note2 (which isn't rooted, just installed apps from Google Play)...
As this is my first time in the world of rooting, flashing ROMs for Android (I've done a couple of jb on previous iPhone models).. I am quite lost on all the terms (CWM, ODIN, etc)..
My questions now are:
1. Is there a site that I can read up on the basics? Like the terminologies and why or why not those things should be done to an Android system? Pros and Cons of doing such?
2. I see on this site that there are ROMs for T210 model.. can I safely use these in place of the currently installed and running in my T211?
Thanks.

Please Please Help. Unusual FAIL in ODIN. Softbrick.

Hey folks,
I was trying to root my never before rooted s6 today (64 gb 920 I) using the uni-kernel method using odin for 5.1.1. I put the kernel into AP, and it failed after some seconds thus resulting in the blue screen which says "error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software."
I tried that and smart switch didn't recognise my device (maybe because USB debugging wasn't on).
Thus I downloaded a stock recovery for my device and I thought I would flash it via ODI. Things go well and the progress bar is 3/4th of the way through on my device and it suddenly says FAIL (shown below). I've tried with ODIN 3.10.6 and with 3.10.7 with the same results
<ID:0/003>Get PIT for Mapping

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) Operation failed.

What's unusual about this (to the best of my knowledge through forum search. I could be wrong and this could be common. If so I apologise) is that I've seen help threads about Odin failing at hidden.img or NAND Write Start but not during system.img. Does the fact that it's failed during system.img in particular tell us something?
Also, I can't access stock recovery, just the download section.
No clue why it's doing this. I would appreciate any help possible.
Thanks so much in advance. This means a lot.
Your current phone's firmware CSC should be same or within the region CSC of your downloaded firmware.
Hidden.img do have different partition size per Country/region. If you flash a not supported firmware, it will fail.
I.e., if your from France, just download the France firmware.so that you wont need to flash a pit file for your phone.
You can Search here at forum with keyword galaxy s6 pit file.
Or probably, your pc <> phone connection is unstable. Be sure it is connected properly, the usb cable should be in good performance etc.
I had the same happening. Don't sweat it really, no need to use that Smart Switch thing, Odin should still see the phone anyway, so just go ahead and flash a different image from Sammobile, possibly use one for your country and you'll be good.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I'm not finding anything specific for your device. Try posting your question in the forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
The experts there may be able to help.
I'll add my 2 cents and try to help you. Have you tried using different USB ports on PC? Was USB debugging turned on in the device settings before you flashed? Do you have the USB drivers installed properly? If you have Samsung Kies installed you have to make sure it is not running in background because it interferes with Odin. Check your anti virus and Firewall settings and turn them off while flashing then turn them back on after you are done. These are just a few things for you to check.
Remember to register an XDA account so you can post and reply in the forums. Good luck.

Tried connecting with Kies and Smart switch, none can find the device just keeps buffering and for smart switch it just say it's not supported. I am able to get into downloading mode, but that's it.
Got newest Kies, odin 3 v.10.7.exe however on my first go i noticed i had odin3 v.10.6 but now i got the latest i believe. After reading around i decided to try to fix it back to normal, so i downloaded my countries [sweden] firmware this one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/57869/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FVDS3COI6_VDS/

Ps. Worth mentioning, sometimes my usb is not recongnized and it flickers on and off (connectiong) but seems
to be fine most of the times and during the odin trials.
To root your phone, couldn't you simply flash twrp and then unikernel, like the guides say?
However, I'd try doing the following:
First of all, download the stock firmware for your version from samfirmware, then flash it via Odin (make sure the versione you download is the same you had before, or at least a more recent one).
From your logs, the problem seems to be pit file, so try reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
If not, completely delete odin and download it again, maybe trying with a different firmware.
If everything goes well, let it boot into setup wizard, then you will able to root it again, this time following the standard procedure with odin:
- Make sure "Auto reboot" flag is NOT checked;
- Flash the twrp odin-flashable file (can't post links here, but you'll find them in General section);
- Manually reboot into recovery (Hold power+home+volume up).
- Once you're into twrp, flash unikernel and reboot.
Your phone will be rooted

I just begain with youtubing easy way to root and i just said download odin, get the right firmware plug in an click odin.
That has failed and it's bricked, however i have tried to get my countries firmware, it didint work and produced my last log that i posted.
I am downloading another one there is two for Sweden however the other one says Sweden tre which is an operator over here and not one that i use so i doubt that will work?
i will attempt to download it but it takes 3h due to the limited speed at sammmobile.
So summarize, the sweden firmware from sammobile failed ;_;
What i do is, put phone in download mode, open odin, get the AP [Sweden from sammomobile] it finds it and press start, quickly after it says failed and i am back to square one.
I was reading the link you gave me about the pit files, it appears the error could be related to me having the wrong firmware?
I am seriously offering a bitcoin tip or a paypal tip to whomever helps me get my phone to work.
There are firmwares here for VDS.
Uninstall Kies and reboot your PC before using Odin.

You dont need to download another rom dude...the problem is your usb dont get recognized and after a while it will disconnect...it happened to me aswell...searched on youtube did an easy fix and then i flashed stock rom with odin and joined marshmallow beta...
Tldr: search on youtube a fix for usb not recognized...i dont have a link sorry you have to search it by yourself its an easy fix..
Is it OK to flash with the latest stock roms? G920FXXU3? or should I flash only G920FXXU2? they are both 5.1.1 anyway.. If i flash with G920FXXU3, can i downgrade it to G920FXXU2? thanks for any help

You're fine with either.
@WaDoDem
First of all, calm down. Believe me it's harder than you think to brick S6 in a not fixable way
If Odin doesn't flash official roms or you just cant suffer a slow a** download speed from SamMobile :
1. Press and hold all of 4 buttons on your device. (Volume up + Volume Down + Home + Power) your device will reboot.
2. As soon as device reboots release volume up and hold other 3 three. (Power + Home + Volume Down). Your device should boot into downloading mode.
3. Download this :
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.html
4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes, hold Power+Home + Volume Up. Now your device will boot into TWRP recovery.
5. Wait for drivers to be installed. Your pc should show phone's internal storage as connected device. If not, go to TWRP Mount section and enable MTP mode. (Or if it's enabled, disable and re enable it )
6. Download this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-2013266107-arrow-rom-v1-0-0-fast-t3212318
And this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nified-development/kernel-vindicator-t3156281
Then put them on your phone.
7. Wipe system,data,cache and dalvik cache from twrp.
8. Install Arrow Rom first and then flash Vindicator Kernel.
9.Reboot, first boot can take up to 15 minutes
10.Continue celebrating new year [emoji14]

sometimes if odin not working i restart my computer and put my mobile in downloadmode again and than i try again,most of the time it worked.....
If you think you can't find a wat at all, Samsung will help u. Download smartswitch to your PC and you can click in top corner emergency reinstall (or something like that) just put your serial number (as found on your backside of the phone)
4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes said:
Odin cant find the tar file.
I got odin 3V3.10.7 in options auto reboot and f. reset time are all bocked in is that right?
On files to download i am able to do, ap,cp,csc,bl neither of those help to find the recovery image that i am supposed to start?

I cannot use recovery since none of the numbers i have on the back of my phone matches the one i need to enter.
i tried device initialization that led to FAILED TO UPDATE DUE TO AN ERROR.
and then smart switch recommends emergency software recovery the one you were talking about but i dont know how to get my code.
I assumed you meant to input my phones IMEI however that did not prove to be correct.

Relax, flip your phone and on the bottom you'll see (barely visible) text. The last line it says: 'S/N:'
The code after is your serial number. So not your IMEI
The same code is found on the stickers you'd got with your phone

When i did Device initialization used my model nr and S/N: R58G52AMP1J, halfway through completing the process, the first one did 100% then the next loading didint start got the error and that re-directed me to try Emergency Software Recovery.

To root your phone, couldn't you simply flash twrp and then unikernel, like the guides say?
However, I'd try doing the following:
First of all, download the stock firmware for your version from samfirmware, then flash it via Odin (make sure the versione you download is the same you had before, or at least a more recent one).
From your logs, the problem seems to be pit file, so try reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
If not, completely delete odin and download it again, maybe trying with a different firmware.
If everything goes well, let it boot into setup wizard, then you will able to root it again, this time following the standard procedure with odin:
- Make sure "Auto reboot" flag is NOT checked;
- Flash the twrp odin-flashable file (can't post links here, but you'll find them in General section);
- Manually reboot into recovery (Hold power+home+volume up).
- Once you're into twrp, flash unikernel and reboot.
Your phone will be rooted

If Odin says no PIT, he'll need to Odin the PIT file for his device first then Odin the factory firmware.
PS...I'm just browsing threads and stopped here, hopefully to help. I'll keep reading. lol

Did you get the appropriate PIT file for your devices Internal storage? It does matter whether its the 32 64 or 128GB version.

I just downloaded and tried the pit that above user posted.

It's a Galaxy s6 32GB.

[Completed] Samsung S4 GT-i9505 stock ROM flash issue

Previously my device was in a state where I couldn't get into any mode other than download mode after unsuccessfully trying to root my device (it would tell me to launch kies, even though kies could not detect my device, and my device does not support initialisation). For some extra info, after rooting my device almost every app would stop responding instantly.
After about 50 tries (of the same .pit file) I managed to flash a pit file successfully (if flash is the correct term) and now I can launch my phone again, it brings me to the initial set up page but I constantly get that google services has stopped responding, stopping me from finishing the set up process. When I do the volume up + home + power now it comes up with a red android for 'chainfire auto root' and does some random stuff then reboots my phone (but has no actual visual effect). Now I am trying to flash the stock firmware for my device but i get the following issue:

<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Surely this shouldn't be happening as I literally just flashed a .pit file in order to get my device working again? Anyway, any advice is appreciated and sorry if any information I gave was hard to follow because this is my first time rooting

OP here, thanks for the help. I went through it and managed to restore my phone to stock.
For anyone else with the same issue as me this is how I fixed it:
Restart computer, disable antivirus, flash pit on its own, flash pit with firmware, it gets to 99% finished and then fails, and then flash pit on its own again (untick PDA).
Well, now to attempt to root it again Thanks again.
