Step 3. Next connect a USB 2.0 micro-USB cable from Galaxy S5 to my computer.
Step 4. download the following three files, ODIN3v185, Philz Touch CWM recovery 6.26.2, and SuperSU 1.94:
Step 5. Double-click on the file “odin3 v1.85.exe” to start the ODIN program. (Already Installed Samsung Drivers)
Step 6. Next, Auto Reboot is checked and choose “PDA” button and find the Philz Touch CWM recovery file
Step 7. Click on “Start”
The Recovery started to run, then it failed. I've tried multiple times without success.

Use Odin 3.10 , 1.85 is from the s2/s3 days. Also use a more up to date supersu meant for lollipop assuming you are on lollipop since stated it's new out the box. If you have kies installed disable / Uninstall it. Kies and Odin hate each other at times. Be sure you are using the correct Philz recovery for the device. I use twrp so no idea if you're using the correct one or version. Try different USB ports. I find that the high speed ones on back of the computer work better than easy access ones in the front.

Installation Guide
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed
2) Extract ur firmware it to get its content which would be a .tar
3) Download Odin3 v1.85. Then, extract it to get these two required files – Odin3 v1.85.exe and Odin3.ini. Do NOT delete the .ini file since it’s required too. When asked in step 6 below, open Odin by double clicking on the Odin3 v1.85.exe file.
4) Disconnect your tablet if it’s connected to PC. Power it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5) Now, put the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Download Mode (also called Odin mode) — press and hold, until Samsung Galaxy logo appears — these keys together: Volume_DOWN + Power.
6) Wait till you a screen with options to boot into recovery or download (odin) mode.
7) Press Volume Up key to boot into download mode.
8) Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe. Admin privileges would be required!
9) Connect your Galaxy tab 10.1 tablet to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. And you should also see COM port with a number in Yellow. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve the right drivers installed!
10) Select these files in Odin at respective tabs.
11) Click the PDA Tab, and select the big .tar file “P7510XEUKL2_P7510XXKL2_HOME.tar.md5″
Important! Make sure these 2 check-boxes are selected: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Also, leave the Re-Partition check-box clear (blank), as we are only using a .tar file or PDA file to flash.
12) Double check everything said in step 11.
13) Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your tablet will automatically reboot — and you can unplug the cable when Galaxy logo appears. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful, Try again, and take care to complete the whole process without any break whatsoever.

How do you get the drivers that work when the Tab is booted to ODIN? I've tried everything I can find and have been unable to get the correct drivers installed.

Install Kies and it should install the drivers. I'm pretty sure you can download them from samsung.com too. But when you use odin make sure that Kies is completely closed (even check in processes in task manager) or odin won't work

Samsung Fascinate Root and ICS

Hey, Ive been wanting to get ICS on my Verizon Samsung Fascinate, I'm just really confused and what i need to do to get it on my phone after rooting. I want to use CM7 but i dont know which to use (Nightly/Stable).
All from bhfd64 on the Galaxy Forums
[HOW TO] Root Froyo or Gingerbread on Your Fascinate
Below you'll find the steps to attain root access on your Samsung Fascinate, but keep in mind that along with risking damage to your phone, you'll be voiding your warranty. This guide assumes you've taken the most recent OTA update and are running official Gingerbread. The responsibility for any damage incurred by following this guide is yours and yours alone.
NOTE 1: These instructions are for PC only. They will not work for Mac users.
NOTE 2: These instructions should work for any stock Gingerbread build on the Fascinate.
Downloads:
Download Samsung drivers from HERE.
Download Odin (computer program) from HERE.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery from HERE (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it).
Download "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file from HERE (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Instructions:
1. Install Samsung drivers on your computer.
2. Open Odin on your computer. (You may need to disable antivirus programs on your computer and/or phone for this to work properly.)
3. Power off your phone and remove the battery.
4. Plug the stock USB cord that came with your phone into a powered USB port on your computer (usually on the back of the computer).
5. Press and hold the "volume down" button on your phone, and continue to hold it while plugging the USB cord into your phone. This will put your phone into download mode. You'll see a large yellow triangle on the screen of your phone. (Let go of the volume button at this point.) You will also see one of the small boxes in Odin turn yellow, as well as "Added" appearing in the message box.
6. Click the PDA button in Odin (NOT the PHONE button) and navigate to the "CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5" file you downloaded earlier. This file does not include a voodoo kernel and will not perform the voodoo lagfix conversion. It's only named as such to note that it is compatible with voodoo kernels.
7. Click START. When this process has finished, you'll be notified in Odin (succeeded 1 / failed 0) and your phone's screen will go blank.
8. Unplug your phone and re-insert the battery.
9. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons. While holding them, press the power button. Hold all three simultaneously until you see "SAMSUNG" appear. This will boot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery. If your phone boots up normally here and not into recovery, just wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
10. Using the volume rocker, navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
11. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select with the power button.
12. Navigate to the "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
13. When you're advised of completion, press the MENU softkey to go back to the previous CWM Recovery screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."
At this point your phone will reboot and you'll be rooted. Open up your app drawer. You should see an app called "Superuser." If it's there, you're done! Now you can think about possibly moving on to a custom ROM and/or kernel. Instructions for flashing a custom ROM can be found here.
Thanks for any help and sorry for the Questions i read around and couldn't find anything i understood.

I know u may not have files for this or even know what it is, but have you tested to see if adb or fastboot work at all? Might be unrelated but I think that it shows if samsung drivers are working correctly

Guide for rooting GT-P7510 with Stock 4.0.4 ROM

Hello everybody,
I just successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510 model) using stock 4.0.4 ROM, and wanted to put up together all the steps, as they are disseminated through several posts and various broken links in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development forum.
As I'm not able to write there because of being a noob, I'll post it here, hoping any moderator sees this and moves it to its correct place.
I assume you have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi device (GT-P7510) with stock Android 4.0.4 ROM installed and working.
Step 1: Downloading relevant files:
From this post, get Odin3 v1.85 and CWM Touch Recovery.
Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip file from this post.
Latest version of SuperUser from here. This is needed because SuperUser included in the other zipfile doesn't work well with ICS, as stated in this post.
Step 2: Placing files correctly:
Decompress Odin3 to a folder on your computer.
Copy CWM file (named recovery.tar.md5) to the same folder of Odin3.
Plug the tablet to your computer and copy latest version of SuperUser and file "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" to device's root folder.
Step 3: Installing custom recovery:
Put your tablet into download mode:
Power off tablet.
Power on holding Power + Vol Down (left part of volume button) buttons.
When Samsung logo appears, release power button, but continue holding Vol Down button.
When two icons appear, push Vol Up button (right part of volume button).
Connect tablet to computer. Wait until drivers are fully configured.
Open Odin3 v1.85.exe (under WinVista/7 admin rights must be granted).
Under ID:COM label a yellow box with a COMX port number must appear. If you encounter problems see below.
Push PDA button and select previously downloaded recovery.tar.md5 file.
Push Start button. If everything went OK tablet should restart automatically. If you encounter problems see below.
Disconnect tablet from computer.
Step 4: Rooting process:
Put your tablet into recovery mode:
Power off tablet.
Power on holding Power + Vol Down (left part of volume button) buttons.
When Samsung logo appears, release power button, but continue holding Vol Down button.
When two icons appear, push Vol Down to select the leftmost option, and then Vol Up button (right part of volume button).
Right now you can switch options wih VolUP and VolDown buttons and select options with power button.
Navigate through "Install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Select "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" file and select "Yes - Install Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" when prompted.
Once the installation ends, repeat procedure with the latest SuperUser build previously downloaded.
Once the installation ends, select "+++++Go Back+++++" and "reboot system now".
Step 5: Enjoy your rooted device! :victory:
This has been tested only with a Spanish Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi device (GT-P7510) with stock Android 4.0.4 ROM installed.
Problems encountered:
If you have trouble running Odin, follow these steps:
Disconnect tablet from computer.
Uninstall Samsung Kies.
Reboot computer.
Download root.zip file from this post.
Install "GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape.exe" drivers.
Retry again. Another reboot may be useful.
I want to thank you to all the staff of xda-developers and to all the users whose work I compiled here.
Get in there, root acess is mine! Worked a treat on my GT-P7510 wi-fi only with stock ICS 4.0.4, build number IMM76D.UELPL, just added my tablet details for anybody searching in the future.
Thanks very much, time to play
Ty
TyTyTy.. Just what the doctor ordered. Worked flawlessly. Ty for taking the time to write all that up also.
My root went awry !
Hi
I believe I followed all the directions but something went amiss.
My GT p7510 now will just reboot to find my network and connect, then show the clock and security screen , it will show the current time and accept my security shape --but then the screen stops accepting input. and everything stops.
Seems like running recovery is possible, would a factory reset be advisable?
Thanks
GT p7510 stock ics
Confirmed Root of GT-P7510 with 4.0.4 stock
I just wanted to post a reply to confirm that I was able to use these instructions to perform my first ever root of an android device (GT-P7510 with 4.0.4 android and build number IMM76D-UELPL). Thanks for a great, easy to follow post. :good:
I would also recommend that any users make sure to install the Samsung drivers (GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape) on their PC before starting the instructions as written, as I have read that these drivers are needed as a prerequisite to rooting in other forums.
woot
Great guide i tried others and all the Dl links were broken yours all worked
THANK YOU!
Worked on my GT P7510 United States. I am a noob, I followed your flawless directions and all is well. Thanks for the easy to read and use tutorial!:good:
I'm a noob from Canada, I signed up on this forum just to thank you for this easy to follow guide!
A friend just gave me his old GT-P7510 (aka p4wifi) and I used this guide to root it because it was very clear and detailed. Went perfectly smoothly.
However, the OP is old and points to an older version of CWM. If you intend to flash CM 10.1, you need a newer version of CWM. Take a look at this thread (if you have the wi-fi version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296961
From Post #5 I grabbed the flashable version of CWM Touch 6.0.3.1 (P4wifi) and flashed it, then flashed CM 10.1 (8/4 nightly) and everything went super smooth. You guys rock. :good:
Hi,
Some months later i try tu follow your tutorial. Very clear but... i've 2 problems.
With the CWM that you recommend, the recovery mode is unreadable (rolling) > first problem.
So i follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984 it resolves my display problem, i can access to recovery mode.
I continue with step 4 with Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip installation in recovery mode but now my device doesn't start, it loops...
Initialy it was in 4.0.4... i think i don't understand anything with the different versions of firmwares and others CWM...
Help will be really appreciate...
Many thanks

from stock 4.0.4
install recovery from droidbasement
send over custom rom and gapps
go into recovery and install rom then gapps
reboot and voila
(use odin and stock rom to get back to stock and no more bootloop)
as long as you can get back into recovery/download everything is fixable.
android is like a pc
recovery = bios
custom/stock rom = windows..linux...ect..
wrong root.zip file will give you bootloop your adding wrong files so device can't boot up
hope this helped
btw...you don't need to be rooted to install recovery or custom roms
I'm Rooted!!
Followed instructions to successfully root a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and then installed GSM (cell) call support from AndroidAdvices site.
All went well but I did have to follow the "Problems Encountered' sequence to get Odin3 to run on the Windows desktop.
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks guys.

Hi! Thanks for your post for the steps of the rooting of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 . I have just a few quick questions.
is it possible to use your rooting guide to flash the latest version of CWM recovery or should I use the specific one you recommended with the link in the guide? In order words, could I flash CWM 6.0.3.0 ( the latest for galaxy tab 10.1) instead of the one you suggested? Just let me know. If you believe the CWM version you suggested in your guide is safer then I will flash the one you suggested instead. Also is it possible to use adb fastboot to turn the tablet into the desired mode? I really have trouble pressing the buttons to get to the different modes. Thank you very much.
Re My Build #
Hi I just looked at my Build # and it's IMM76D.VLLH3 now my questions are
Will this work with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510.
Will is change the Build #.
Thank you in advance for reply.

Power on holding Power + Vol Down (left part of volume button) buttons.
When Samsung logo appears, release power button, but continue holding Vol Down button.
When two icons appear, push Vol Down to select the leftmost option, and then Vol Up button (right part of volume button).
Right now you can switch options wih VolUP and VolDown buttons and select options with power button.
Navigate through "Install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Select "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" file and select "Yes - Install Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" when prompted.
Once the installation ends, repeat procedure with the latest SuperUser build previously downloaded.
Once the installation ends, select "+++++Go Back+++++" and "reboot system now".
Step 5: Enjoy your rooted device! :victory:
This has been tested only with a Spanish Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi device (GT-P7510) with stock Android 4.0.4 ROM installed.
Problems encountered:
If you have trouble running Odin, follow these steps:
Disconnect tablet from computer.
Uninstall Samsung Kies.
Reboot computer.
Download root.zip file from this post.
Install "GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape.exe" drivers.
Retry again. Another reboot may be useful.

Once I got the phone I didnt find much help on how exactly to root the device and get custom rom loaded on it.
What bits and pieces of information I found was confusing... never the less after some reading I got to understand the basics of what needed to happen.
So here it is:
Files:
Download and Install Samsung Official USB Drivers - link
Download and extract ODIN v3.07 - Link MD5: 0C21E86A38C7868B0B50396EEE85721F
Download and extract this recovery - (Unzip ) - Link MD5: D8C883282D1584A0E067E12CCF8C1750

Follow the Steps in this guide:
GUIDE
Steps to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Galaxy S4 I9505
Step 1: Extract Odin 3.07 file using winrar/7zip/winzip or any other extracting tool.
Step 2: Switch off the Galaxy S4 I9505. Then boot the device into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home buttons together and then press the Power button until the device turns on. Now press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.
Step 3: Launch Odin on the computer.
Step 4: Connect the Galaxy S4 I9505 to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. Wait until Odin detects the device. When the device is connected successfully, the ID: COM box will turn blue with the COM port number. Additionally, the successful connected will be indicated by a message saying Added.
Step 5: In Odin, click the PDA button and select the [RECOVERY PROVIDED] file.
Step 6: Verify that Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin. Also, ensure the Re-Partition option in Odin is not selected.
Step 7: Double-check and click Start in Odin. The installation process will now begin.
Step 8: Once the installation process is completed, your phone will restart and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.

At this point reboot the phone direclty in recovery by holding the VolUp button and pressing Power button until it vibrates.
You should see it power up and blue text appear in upper left corner " Recovery..."
if you don't pull the battery and try again.
You should see the familiar CWM Recovery appear.
Backup your system.
After that is complete Install CM10.1 and Google Apps.
Enjoy.

I take no responsibility for damaged devices. If you are not ready to loose your phone possibly forever keep it stock.
It worked for me.
All systems are operating at this point.
Small glitch with having to restart BT after I walk away from my car and get back in it and trying to reconnect to it.
The IR Sensor doesn't work. I saw that the drivers are being implemented with some of the nighly builds.... so its not far from being operational.

Best.
Thanks for documenting your steps! I was running CM10 on my Epic 4G just before I switched over to the GS4 Developer Edition phone. I'm thinking of flashing it again.

[TWRP][3.2.1-0][Official]Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T230NU)[Latest]

What is TWRP?
I quote
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.
WHAT IS THE USE OF INSTALLING TWRP?
TWRP is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom "ROM" like OmniROM.
You can find the source code for TWRP at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/
The above text was from
https://twrp.me/about/
Download TWRP version 3.2.1-0 from
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0bhuw8gw233c3wa/twrp-3.2.1-0-degas.img.tar
HOW DO I INSTALL THE RECOVERY?
1.Download Odin from http://www.mediafire.com/file/sbobzdpre78l569/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
STEP 1:
Put your phone into download mode.
Press and hold these three buttons until you see a WARNING SCREEN! to enter into the Download mode:
Volume DOWN key + Power key + Home key
When you see the WARNING SCREEN press the volume UP key to continue into the Download mode.
STEP 2:
Open the ODIN application on your PC. Connect your phone(while it is still in the download mode) to the PC using a USB cable.
ODIN will show an Added! message on the message box.
Device Added on ODIN
STEP 3:
Click on the AP button on the ODIN application and select the twrp-x.x.x-x-codename.img.tar file.
Click on the AP button (PDA in many Odin versions) and select the CWM recovery file
STEP 4:
Select the appropriate options before flashing the recovery image.Make sure only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other boxes are un-checked.
Select the ODIN Options
STEP 5:
Select the Start button, which will start the flashing process. When you get the PASS message, then your phone will reboot automatically.
Click on Start and wait till it completes
Now your Samsung Device is flashed with the TWRP image and you may disconnect your phone. Your phone should restart by itself if not press and hold the power button. Boot into your recovery by holding together power-volume up-and home button.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR RECOVERY?
Your TWRP recovery can be easily updated by flashing an image file. It's very simple and easy.

I just followed your upgrade instructions and was successfully able to upgrade from TWRP 2.7.x and it works great! Results were instant and I was also able to immediately successfully flash a custom ROM to my SM-T230NU. Thanks so much for posting this!

This is where you lost me.
I have Odin v3.12, and it only has one AP button, but no PDA button.
I clicked on AP button in Odin, and selected the twrp image.tar file. Check.
Then you tell me to click on the AP button again and select the CWM file, but if I do that, then the twrp file is no longer selected.
I'm afraid to guess because even though it's old, I don't want to brick this thing.

To get TWRP on my device, I followed the instructions listed here: tab-4/orig-development/twrp-install-twrp-root-samsung-galaxy-t3111934
(I can't post links. Just put forum.xda-developers in front of that)
Instead of using TWRP 3.0.0 or 2.8, I used this newest verison with Odin 3.09 (instead of 3.12)
And it worked on my T230NU
"SOMEONE ANYONE" ...those mysterious instructions entries...
i probably qualify as an anyone, that is im doing this for the first time, though i have some experience with doing the same thing to my old HP Touchpad (tenderloin) device over and over again over the years, to keep it from throwing up alerts about apps stopping... So yes i was confused by the same glitches in the instructions since i dont want to brick my old tablet and try to follow instructions exactly:
A) in STEP 2:
"Device Added on ODIN"
>> no Odin doesnt actually print those words out, i think the op is sort of restating the sentence above it.
B) in STEP 3:
"Click on the AP button (PDA in many Odin versions) and select the CWM recovery file"
>> I think this is just a copy/paste error the op took from some other post and never cleaned up, presumably CWM refers to ClockWorkMod which is different recovery in itself, and i don't suspect you can have two recoveries installed, no? plus, its not mentioned anywhere else in this thread no link of anything, so i just ignored that line and proceeded according to the rest of the instructions.
C) STEP 4:
"Select the ODIN Options"
>> another instance of repeating whats already been instructed in the sentence above it.
So I just ignored the items noted above, the only other thing i did that is different from this thread is i had previously installed the samsung USB drivers noted as seemingly important in other threads, i dont know if that matters since ive never tried it without them, but anyways, I hit 'start' and it worked fine and said PASS in about 5 seconds, then a bit later rebooted, but took a couple minutes to get out of the Samsung logo boot screen -i almost thought it was bricked for a moment there- but it finally came through and it all seems okay. so now i can reboot into TWRP and see all of its options, so now im ready to give a try to install the Pixelized OS!
For my T230NU, TWRP reboots (crashes) reliably in the middle of the wiping-the-cache process:
The TWRPs i tried are "twrp-3.0.0-0-degas.img.tar", "twrp-3.2.1-0-degas.img.tar" , "twrp-3.3.0-0-degas.img.tar"
I selected the usual four items to wipe: "Dalvic cache", "cache", "system", "Data"
(the built-in one-swipe factory-reset wipe crashes just the same)
I installed them all with Odin 3.12.3
This older version seems just fine: "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-degas.tar"
Will this image work with Verizon Tablet SM-T537V?
Hey, will this work on degaswifi (regular SM-T230)?

Flashed it successfully on my SM-T230NU, however I am also experiencing a crash during a built-in wipe. I reverted back to v3.0.0 and it seems to be working as expected. Thanks,

I have a SM-T230NU (nook). It freezes at boot after the "nook" logo screed is displayed. When I power down it immediately reboots to the same logo screen and again freezes. I can't turn it off without taking the back off and unplugging the battery. When I plug the battery back in after a few minutes, it stays off until I try to boot again and the same cycle repeats itself. Any ideas how to fix this.
