Hello everyone, I hope this is in the correct section but if it's not I apologize.
I recently bought a new phone, and it finally arrived. The phone I have is the Samsung Galaxy S3, the model number according to my settings is GT-i9305T. Ofcourse, I want to root it and flash a custom ROM so it'll run as well as it possibly can, however when I try to use CF Autoroot with Odin I get the error described in the title of this thread.
I have tried using a different USB port on this computer, and I've had no luck. The phone is recognized by Kies, and the drivers were all installed through it.
Now, does anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying to do it with Odin 1.85 and "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3dv-gti9305t", which appears to be everyone's go-to method for rooting this phone. I really have no idea what else I could try.
Uninstall Samsung Kies. Reboot and try again.

I am having a problem to get my Tab i800 identified by Heimdall. My tab is stock and I might have messed up kernel so I dont have service bars at all. it is always in airplane mode. When I try to use Heimdall it says "failed to detect compatible device". I looked all around and even posted my problem in some threads but did not get any result. My final goal is to get to CM9.
I wanted to post my problem in general forum but I did not wan to break rules of the forum. Please help, any assistance is appreciated.
Update: My Tab now shoeing a phone connecting to a pc. I was having problems with drivers. Now I have ubuntu and do not know what to do next.

I recommend get a Linux.
I even have an Ubuntu that boots off USB thumb drive.
You won't get heimdall driver problem.

I was thinking the same thing about drivers but before i was able to resolve any software problems. This tab is pain in the rear. I owned fascinate and charge both were piece of cake to root or flash. Currently i have razr. Even with the locked bootloader it is easier to deal with than this tab.

Why not use Odin instead?

I used odin and it screwed up the kernel. It was clearly my fault but I can fix it. All the guides/zips are made for heimdall.
Because i am tired of researching. I looked all trough internet. Other forums, google and even searched here with sucky search option that xda has. With No results.

Off top of head...
Install Kies (it installs needed drivers)
Make sure kies is not running then use overcome guide to re-stock/partition device (install safe-stock rom then overcome kernel/rom)
Put desired ICS based rom on sd, use recovery to wipe data/cache, flash.

Just installed kies and it said that my device is not supported with kies 2.0??? Do you think that overcome will still work?

Just ignore that message, you wont be using Kies, as I said its just so the correct drivers are installed.
btw, which Tab have you got?

I have verizon galaxy tab. Now I have a phone connecting to a pc sign with an exclamation mark in the triangle. Great, I think I accidentally disconnected the cable while it was flashing trough Odin.
The good news is Odin still sees the tab. I am not sure about Heimdall though.

You may want to try a stock rom from sammobile or the stock roms thread here. Not sure if the Overcome rom will boot on Verizon/CDMA?

My problem is heimdall. My pc is getting drivers for the tab for Haimdall to work. I tried pretty much everything with no luck. Since I had lots of experience with Odin. I am comfortable flashing trough Odin. But all the guides that I found recently is for Heimdall for some reason. I will try to use Heimdall on different pc(same win7 64bit) to see if that works. If not I need to find a way to flash it trough Odin.
you should really try to put ubuntu on usb stick.
Just download the iso of the latest and get unetbootin (free apps for windows too).
Use it to create USB stick, and it has option to leave spare space on the USB disk to allow for changes to be written on.
Boot it up and install heimdall.

Ahhhh ... Ok. You flashed your phone with files meant for a different version. Check the dev thread and use the guide in post 2 to get your back.
Flash the pre-rooted rom
Then for good measure flash the boot.img as well
I am assuming the radio is ok but you can flash that as well if your are not sure.

So I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A with Odin but it went wrong somewhere along the way and now the phone won't start up. When I try to start up, the screen says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" But when I tried to recover in Kies, it always gets to the end and then says that the PC can't recognize my mobile device. I can still access download mode but that's about it. I have tried looking EVERYWHERE and there is no solution! someone please help! D:
Also, I found something online that says that I can recover through Odin and I went through the whole process but when I start flashing, it says FAIL so that didn't work for me either
Did you use RDLV on MJ5 to root? If so, that's probably what bricked you.

That just showed off why your phone got bricked. Rooting a phone got some responsibility. Let this be a lesson for you and read before you root. You will need to download the stock firmware and flash this through Odin. I guess you still can enter Download mode?
Wi-Fi Issues
I also need some help here... I did successfully root my note 3, however whenever I install a custom rom such as knoxraid or azure, my wi-fi will not work at all.
The wi-fi will be on from a clean flash, but once I try to connect to any network (I've only tried those with passwords), the wi-fi grays out and I can no longer turn it on or off. I haven't encountered anyone else with the same problem, and I have tried deleting the rom partitions and recreating them.
Disclaimer: I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forums, so that's why I'm posting here. Sorry about that.
Dearest Becky, im so sorry girl..
butchya may be fuct for a lil while let me tell ya why..
This same thing happened to me!!
I looked everywhere for an easy solution BUT THERE IS NONE !! Yet.
The reason why is because there are no easy "Odin back to stock files" yet is because at&t is a fn a-hole and locked the bootloader !!
I brikt my shıt about 4 days after I brought it home from costco.
I combed through the interwebs for the 48 hrs straight like a mad tweaker!! because of course this is our 800 dollar babies we're talking about !!
I kept getting the same error message as you are mentioning about the kies update connect your pc blah and so I tool it back to costco and played dumb and said that I got a notification to update and clicked ok and it did some stuff and "now its stuck on this screen with some error??" .. the lady at the kiosk looked it up and down and said someone else had come in last week with the same error message . LoL !!
I walked out of there with a brand new baby !!
Maybe you can do the same thing? Just hoping you are within your return timeframe.
your last but definitely not last worst case scenerio option is to stick your sim card in another phone and wait till someone from our awesome family here finds away around/through that damn bootloader and drops the beautiful Odin+files to give new birth to your 5.7 beast of an angel !!
Hope this helped in any sort of way. Good luck dear Sister!!
Please let us know how it goes. I think there are many brothers and sisters desperate as F and in ypur same predicament.
This is your best bet.
If you can get into download mode or should work

For anyone Reading this thread for similar issues
What probably happened is she attempted to root de LA Vega method while she was on firmware mj5 rdlv method is based on mi9 and die to this it will soft brick your device.
Unfortunately att diff not release an Odin file for mj5 or even put it on kies.
One of or members figured out how to fiddle with the files we have access to to flash a hybrid of mi9 and mj5
Making it possible to more or less recover from an mj5 brick.
Follow his steps completely and you will wind up with a stock rooted os.
But since this is such an odd way to recover I chose to use kingo to root.
Xda doesn't support kingo dir to hour closed they are in their methods and the fact it is not apparent how they are funding themselves. so you'll have to Google it. It was one of the easiest root methods I've done on a device it installs chainfires su. It is completely removable and I personally believe it is the lest chance of a brick method.

Sorry, I misread.
Is Kies installed? If yes then remove (or disable) it because Odin and Kies don't work well together (they might use the same serial port and that causes issues with Odin). Install just the Samsung USB drivers.
[Q] Why use Kies when using Odin with Windows OS
Posted on March 25, 2012 by tinieblax
I have tried for over a week to flash my SGS2 with Odin from both Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows XP Pro SP3 with no success. I followed instructions to install Kies so that windows installed the Samsung drivers. I closed Kies down and checked that no part of it was running in process by using Task Manager. Odin appeared to run and then hang, somtimes completing with the dread Red colour and Failed! legend. I tried everything. Battery out SIM out. Still no success.
Then I hit on a link to download the Samsung drivers without Kies. I also found references to the fact that Odin and Kies don’t play nice!
So, as it happens my power sockets developed an electrical problem which caused my desktop hard disk to fail. I installed a new OS on a new HDD and this time just the Samsung drivers, NO KIES, then Odin etc. And voilla! The first time I flashed a big green success! I can hardly believe this problem has not been already proved. It seems to apply equally to XP and 7!

Remove the drivers and install them again.

I got it! I just had to set everything up and then plug in my phone. Instead of having it plugged in before time.
