[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

I think I goofed! help please

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.

What's up, guys? So today i'm guiding you how to install TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery and root on your GT-P5200 device. I'm very sorry for the delays of the download links, Squadron 3 is struggling with the bugs. But as i expected, it would be here for the next couple hours after this thread is posted. But before that, i'll head to the steps and requirements.
REQUIREMENTS
-Your device with more than 30% of battery charged
-A PC(Windows would be great)
-USB Cable
-Wi-Fi connection
-Your brain and riskiness that can drive your device to Cuckoo Clock City
Now that you have whatever those are up there and the files i will post soon enough, let's get REALLY started!
1.Open the USB drivers setup on your PC and install the drives.
2.Download the root file to your device, power it off and connect it to your PC via USB cable.
*Before the third step, make sure you've downloaded EVERY file except the root file to your PC:
-Drivers setup like in step 1
-Odin 3.07
-Recovery(.tar) file
3.Run Odin and boot your device into Download mode(Power+Volume Down)
4.(Odin)Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and click "PDA", then choose the .tar recovery file.
5.Click "Start" when there's a COM thing appears under the first big box
6.Wait until it says "PASS", then disconnect your device from your PC
7.Hold power button until the screen's completely dark.
8.Boot into recovery mode(Power+Volume Up)
9.After it is in the home recovery screen, choose "Install", then go to the folder where you put the root file in.
10.Choose the root file(Make sure you remember its name)
11.Swipe, wait for it to flash, then reboot your device(There'll be a reboot button after the flashing is done, so hit it to reboot your device)
12.Enjoy rooting! Download Root Checker to verify root access from SuperSU(will be automatically installed after flashing and rebooting)

i have a problem... i tried doing it but it said "reset!" on the blue box

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.......

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

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...

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?

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..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

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,

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.
