[Q] odin stuck at factoryfs.img - safe to abort before it's too late?

Hello,
This is my first attempt to get root access on my Galaxy Note and Odin has been stuck at factoryfs.img for the past 7 hours. Is it safe to abort before it's too late? How? If not, what is the safest way to continue?

(bought in Italy).
I downloaded the rooted stock RAM following a link posted by bodivas about "STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle" at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23357737&postcount=1
I downloaded Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE.rar from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25289773&postcount=207
http://www.newformz.com/android/roms/Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE.rar
I downloaded the Kernel "CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip" from:
http://download.chainfire.eu/153/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
I downloaded Odin3 PC v1.85 from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771703&d=1320429195
I decompressed these files once (did not uncompress the files inside).
Then a stopped my phone and waited one minute. I started with volume down-middle button-power. When the warning message came I did volume up.
Then I started Odin3 v1.85 on my Thinkpad T30, Windows XP, running as Administrator. USB port is USB1 speed I believe. I selected the appropriate files for PDA, PHONE and CSC. I checked "Auto Reboot" and "F; Reset Time".
Then I connected the phone to USB. WIndows recognized it and installed two drivers.
Then Odin showed 2 recognized COMs (COM7 and COM6).
Then I clicked start in Odin.
In several minutes, it did the MD5 check a a few other things:
Code:

From here it get stuck at least one hour in the following state:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There I went to sleep (or tried to!).
5 hours later (7am), only one thing had changed: the first big white rectangle on the upper left now reads "FACTORYFS". However, the thin white rectangle just below is still empty (I mean, the horizontal box just above the words "ID:COM" in the Odin3 GUI.
So, the question again: Is it safe to abort before it's too late? How? If not, what is the safest way to continue? What are the risk of both options?
I both are doable, I would prefer to abort.
Since Odin made some (little progress) in 6 hours, I also fear that if I wait more I might loose the opportunity to abort.

Just in case: my other PC is GNU/Linux (Kubuntu 11.10, 64 bits) so running Odin there is not an option (and latest heimdall binaries not available for 64 bits).

After several hours, it failed at the same stage, withe "FAILED!" message.
I closed Odin, disconnecteed the USB. he battery was completely flat. I had to recharge it to be able to boot the GNote. The original system was left unchanged.
This entire process was quite scary, I'm not going to try again.

[Q] Rooting Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gone Wrong

I have followed many tutorials to the T and I have flashed with philz_touch_6.55.0-p5110 and GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0 to absouetely no avail whatsoever.
My counter is up to 15 and when I go into the recovery mode I get the default. I cannot for the life of me get the tablet to launch the recovery screens.
I have been at this for 4hours. I cant even update the device as it says the device altered. It also show custom , yet I CANNOT load the recovery other than the default.
What am I missing?

Flash recovery in Odin again but this time with auto reboot UNCHECKED. After it flashes, wait 10 seconds, unplug tablet, and boot into recovery (hold in combo until you see recovery screen. It will exit download mode.) Wipe cache and Dalvik and reboot. I'd recommend flashing @Android-Andi's TWRP for a good touch based recovery.

TWRP is another recovery. @Android-Andi has a recovery thread in the development section. If you go to his download page, there is a .zip and a .tar file. The .tar is for Odin and the .zip is if you want to flash it in your current recovery. You just choose one file and flash it accordingly.

I was trying just to have latest version available. But now I want to know what's the issue in case I'll need it in the future.

Your stock rom already has the latest bootloader for your model/region/carrier. If you use one that is not meant for your model, you could possibly mess up the partitions.
There seem to be minor differences as we have encountered with how TWRP isn't compatible with all the variants!

You're using the Odin released by Chainfire, correct? The one that was in his autoroot folder.
Try this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553246
Also... You could restore Odin to full functionality by in modifying the .ini file that Chainfire modified.

Hi, I see some of the new custom roms available now, say that you are required to flash the latest bootloader and modem.
I have a UK G920F (BTU) and I have flashed firmware before using Odin but never flashed a bootloader or modem.
My question is do I really need to and if so do I just flash them one at a time placing them in the AP option in Odin, Thanks

Galaxy S6 ( SM-G920F) 5.1.1: Softbricked After Flashing Kernel

[Q] Soft brick S6 ( SM-G920F) 5.1.1.
Tried to flash it with S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN, cf-autoroot, and it did only say pass and the phone started to reboot but it didnt get pass the logo part. So I tried to go back to stock firmware, and it only got fail so I tried with 5.0.2 instead and that didnt work either. Both case gave me this kind of error.
The firmware was from sammobile.
I didnt saw OEM in "Developer options" hope that I didnt miss it, but some post did say some phone have bootloader unlocked at start, so it should be noproblem to flash the phone. But it didnt work out for me so well.

Install Smart Switch (Kies for newer models) on a computer, and use the option Emergency software recovery and initialization.

cf-autoroot is outdated, and you can't downgrade to 5.0.2 after you've had 5.1.1
Try to flash the kernel again and see if it boots. Otherwise do what the previous post says.
Also, flashing unikernel would have rooted it with no other steps needed.

I tried to connect phone with Kies, nothing happend, just "connecting.." what can I do?
Tried flashing kernel alot of times, same problem .
Just re-read his post, one small problem, the box i have is a bit damage and i can't find the S/N , is there any chance I can get the S/N , I have the ART code and some numbers under a bar but wasn't the S/N with numbers and chars?
Thanks for the help

Can't find the S/N on my box due to damage , is there other way? Do they still have the S/N inprinted under the battery? And when I'am in Odin "Binary : Custom , System : Official , Knox : 1" So it did someone "half-rooted" it or something but I have tried to reflash unikernel v8 still the same problem, is there any way to fix it without going back to the latest stable firmware with the S/N in Kies?

first you should flash TWRP recovery in Odin from here https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
for Odin you need the file with .tar at the end.
Then you can try Adam Kernel by Wanam from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/kernel-adam-kernel-t3093569
and you can try Wanam Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/mod-wanamlite-1-0-t3095155
in this is the Kernel included.
I use his ROM my self without any problems.
