[GUIDE] How to use ODIN for dummies

I didnt find any step-by-step tutorials about this on xda, which is kind of weird and because i have spare time and its 3:19am I decided to make this tutorial
EDIT: If you are coming from eclair, install a froyo ROM and make sure it has a bootloader. Remember, if you cancel an installation that changes your bootloader, or stop it in anyway, you may hardbrick your phone. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CANCEL OR TRY TO PAUSE THE INSTALLATION, JUST LET IT FLASH SMOOTHLY. use a laptop if you can, just in case an unlucky power surge would stop the flashing process
EDIT2: Here is a good Tutorial video from xda user Tejas Ahobala (if you don't know what he is doing at the start, dont worry. He is doing a factory reset before flashing):
EDIT3: A word from one of the commenters:
VelocityJump said:
Thanks a ton for this guide. I had rooted my phone a couple of months back but wasn't really able to figure out how to use ODIN to install a custom ROM all this while. A few pointers for others noobs...
1. The tip about some custom ROMs requiring a wipe data is important.
2. If you're already using CWM, use the 'shutdown' option and not the 'reboot' option when the phone reboots during the flashing process.

______________________________________________________________
Terms and words -->
Flashing ==> means installing a new ROM
ROM ==> is the operating system, any version of modded or un-modded android
Android ==> Google made operating system!!!
ODIN ==> Here, it means the program that you can use to flash ROMs on your phone (the phone im going to use here is samsung galaxy 3)
Soft brick ==> No, not the construction brick, this means you've got no working operating system or you have one but its damaged and you can't use it, so you cant see your homescreen, you only see a boot-loop when it wants to come up. You can view your recovery and boot loader (The download screen) when soft bricked, so you can easily fix this problem by re-flashing.
Hard brick ==> Similar to the construction brick, your phone with little hope of recovery without sending to the samsung base for repairs To avoid hard bricks, open the .TAR file which contains your ROM using winRAR, and check if it contains sbl.bin and boot.bin files or not. If it does contain, and you are nervous or this is your first time flashing etc, simply go and flash Kyrillos' ROM or Kyora ROM instead. (I'm not advertising, just stating a couple of ROMs that I know are safe) these ROMs can only soft brick your phone should the worse happen and there is no chance of hard brick
______________________________________________________________
Should this guide be followed carefully, nothing harmful can happen to your phone. Yet I wont take responsibility if something happens to your phone.

**************************************
Remember to Backup your contacts and apps!
**************************************​______________________________________________________________
Stuff to download:
1) ODIN and a .OPS file, found Here, Or alternatively here.
2) The ROM, depending on what ROM you want there are different versions available. check This thread, the kitchens/ stock ROM packs part for stock ROMs, or if you want to try a custom ROM, try any other. I personally use Kyrillos' ROM, or Hillbeast's KyoraROM. Marcellusbe is praised highly by all for giving us the Cyanogenmod.
______________________________________________________________
1) Extract 'Flash tools.rar'
2) open Odin multi-downloader. This is how it's meant to look like.

}
NOTE: Sometimes some random error message with a korean writing pops up. dont worry, it's nothing, just press OK every time you see it
3) Press the OPS button located in the 'Select OPS' section, as shown in the image below. NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY USE THIS OPS FILE IF YOU HAVE SAMSUNG GALAXY 3. YOU MAY ENCOUNTER SERIOUS PROBLEMS IF YOU USE THIS OPS FILE WITH A DIFFERENT PHONE. (works with i5800 and i5801 as far as I know.)
4) Browse for the 'apollo_0531.ops' that came in the rar file with odin and select it.
5) Tick the One Package option located on the left side of the application.
6) The ROM that you have downloaded should have a .tar extension. If its a .rar file, open it. If it has a .tar file inside it, extract it and use it, but if it has some weird ass stuff in it that only Jesus and Chuck Norris understand the meaning of, you need to use the 'free rar extraction frog' application to turn it into a .tar file. Download it for free from here.
7) The above step was just to confirm if you have the right file, so you dont get any errors. Now just select One Package button that is highlighted in the picture and browse and select the .tar file.
8) Make sure you have ticked everything that I have ticked. Use picture from part 5.
9) Go to your phone. go to Settings->Applications->Development and tick USB debugging if its not already ticked.
10) make sure you have the device drivers, just install Samsung KIES from HERE to make sure you do have the drivers. If the page doesn't show, just Google 'download samsung KIES'
11) turn the phone off, take the USB out, and press volume up, home button (the big fat button in between the menu and back buttons) and the power button together. hold them until you see the 'FORCE UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING' screen. Now plug the USB back in.
12) Odin will immediately recognize your phone, and there will be a yellow label, like so:
13) Double check that you haven't missed anything.
14) Press start! HERE
15) You will see a blue download screen, saying please don't interrupt. PLEASE DON'T INTERUPT IT!!!!
16) The process will finish and system will reboot one or two times. go have some tea and come back 15 minutes later. You should have the Rom of your desire working on your phone.
NOTE: Some custom ROMs require you to wipe system data and then wipe cache. don't forget to do that! restart phone after wiping the data etc. If you've flashed a custom Rom and the device is showing a stupid triangle with an exclamation mark inside it, dont panic, press the menu button and you will see the menu (This menu is called the recovery menu).
EDIT4: How to flash kernels (on galaxy3/apollo/5800/5801)
METHOD 1==>
1--> you go to the kernel thread and download their kernel. it is to be a .tar file. (eg g3mod.tar)
2--> follow steps 3 to 5 from above tutorial
3--> put phone in download mode (step 11) and connect with usb
4--> in odin, select the 'select as one package file' option and browse for the kernel .TAR file. select it.
5--> check youve done everything. YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE TUTORIAL EXCEPT THIS TIME INSTEAD OF USING A ROM YOU'RE USING A KERNEL!!
6--> There is no need for wipe unless otherwise stated by the developer.
7--> congratz man, you got yourself a new kernel!!
OPTIONAL 8--> download setcpu from xda (you can also download off market and pay for it for the donation)
its really usefull, it lets you control how much your phone uses the cpu and you can undervolt the cpu etc, you will find more info on the setcpu thread.
METHOD2==> (Only works for some kernels)
1--> go to the g3mod website and download the .zip version of the kernel. (there is a .tar and .zip)
2--> put the .zip in the root of your sd card
3--> go to recovery mode by either using kyrillos' rom (press & hold power
then choose reboot into recovery) or by turning the phone off and pressing volume up and down and the power button all together. select install .zip from sdcard and then select your .zip you downloaded before.
4--> it will install. no wipe needed unless the dev says so. reboot. HAVE FUN!!
HOW TO FLASH ROMS USING SYSTEM.IMG
1) Download system.img from safe source, preferably provided by dev, or any other trusted member who knows what they are doing.
2) Flash g3mod ROM.
3) Copy the system.img and paste into this path in your sdcard:
sdcard/android/data/g3mod/roms/**there are several folders here, just paste the system.img to the folder that suits the rom's name**
4) Boot into recovery.
5) Go to Multiboot.
6) Select desired ROM.
7) Done

all it took was about two hours
i may make vids about rooting and stuff as well, but im lazy and i think rudolf already done that, so im too late
the reason i made this was that when i first got my phone, it was february last year and the phone was running the eclair (so it sucked ) an i was being pushed by my friends that why i didnt have foryo and it took me literally something like 7 hours to find a 'followable' guide on flashing the xxjpa or something... anyway i thought having a really noob proof guide will be useful too ppl like me a year ago

nicely written
i was searching for tutorial like this 9 monhs ago and never found it with such detailed description

Did you cut off the power or do anything that disrupted the flashing process? Tell us what you did explicitly

Question
Thanks for such a great tutorial.
I have a question.
Does sd card and sim card also needs to be taken out before one start flashing?
Also how long does this procedure take (the flashing process)?
Thanks

after flashing it will work like newly released from factory you can restore and all but depending on if you wiped device after the flasing process you will lose data, thats why i said make a backup of your important stuff before flashing
thnx bscraze for answering peoples questions while i was away

General advice prior to Flashing any phone
Its always best to do a "clean" install. meaning you should remove any old scripts, data, cache, junk before flashing a new ROM, this is like taking a bath before using new clothes. For some models it is a must do, for others it may not be a major problem or can be resolved by flashing the dbdata.rfs to clear out the remaining junk that you failed to remove before flashing . But if you had "lagfix" and did not undo it, it can cause internal SD card unavailable situation, which can be difficult to resolve.
Hence before flashing its advisable to
a) undo lagfix, IF you had any.
b) Do a factory reset by settings>Privacy> factory reset ( erase SD Card - optional , as formatting SD card could be too)
c) And even going into recovery to wipe everything is also good.
d) Removing SIM Card and External SD card ( makes it easier for phone to boot up initially after flashing a new ROM)
Doing this will give you a "Clean" install or fresh start for your phone.
Make sure your Battery Charge is more than 50%, Samsung requires you to have 100% charge when using KIES to upgrade.
Reminder, What you do with your Phone is your own responsibility, so do it at your own risk​
Flashing Procedure
1). You need to Factory Reset Phone first go to settings >Privacy> factory reset also can be done in recovery
2) Power Down and Enter Recovery Mode and wipe data and wipe cache
3) Power down and remove battery, Then reinsert the battery and Enter Download Mode
4) Fireup Odin3 ver 1.32 on PC and Connect phone with USB cable to PC
5) Now select the ROM you had downloaded in Odin under PDA ( do not tick or press anything else ) and DON'T Interrupt flashing unless stuck for some time
6) Press Start Button on Odin3 and wait till is completed
7) Once phone has booted up and everything is working, power down and enter Recovery Mode, here you "factory Reset" phone one more time
That's it Now you will be using the new ROM you just flashed.
Any problem, just check My Android Solution's for relevant solution​
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.

I am very thankful that i found this thread! At last! i am able to find roms for my phone. The sad part is, this phone was given to me, and i didn't know what they did because i found out that my Storage settings states Unavailable, and Available storage 0.00b. I tried flashing it with the stock rom you provided but an error that says like "the file is to large than tha target partition" something like that. Could please kindly direct me what to do? please! I would be very very thankful!

You need to strictly follow the flashing guide , remove eveything including SIM card and Ext SD card, and format Internal SD card ( If possible) in the phone. After that following the guide flash the DB 19 Stock ROM, to see, if you can recover from the corrupt partitions problem.
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​

Sir, i did follow the flashing guide, but flashing the stock rom still say the same error: The file is too large than the target partition. BTW, there is no sd card in the phone while flashing. But still the same, stock rom say the same error, the other rom (custom?) succeed but still the same problem. Thank you!
Edit:
I think formatting the internal storage is impossible as there is 0.00b available in the phone storage status also the Format Storage cannot be clicked. Thanks!

The thing is , you need a PIT FILE to repartition, unfortunately, I cannot locate one, so you need to search for it. also I do not have this phone, for me to try extracting a PIT File or help you with other methods.
Alternatively, you can try to switch SD Cards, and that needs a modified CWM kernel as ell as an Ext SD card partitioned into two partitions.

Sorry mate, This Phone was only sold in Korea and only a few countries. Few month later, Galaxy S came out and died. I remember many many developers back in Korea cooking ROMs but in about 2011, all the development completely stopped and the Galaxy A community closed. Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs are all we've got.

Thank you very much for the ROM

[Tutorial] How to flash Kit Kat on Korean Galaxy S / M110S using Kit Kat Patch

How to upgrade from Gingerbread WF07 to a CM Based Kit Kat ROM on the SHW M110S using a Patch
Basic Considerations that will help you to restore your current ROM ​
First make a Backup of your current ROM, such that you can return to it, IF the Kit Kat ROM is not what you expected it to be. How?
a) When Using a tegrak Kernel on the M110S , you can get this done on the bootup screen , by entering it and making a system and also a dbdata/data backup of your phone, which can be restored by using the terak kernel again IF WF07 ROM is what suits you best.
Your backup will be placed in the Tegrak Folder in the Internal SD card...so save this to your PC or external SD card for safe keeping.
b) When using a Speedmod kernel, you need to enter recovery first to make a nandroid backup of your system and data
Your Backup will be placed in the ClockWorkMod Folder of your SD card. Which can be restored by using the speedMod kernel again IF WF07 ROM is what you desire.
c). You should also use SMS & Contacts Backup apps from play store as well as sync your contacts , calendar etc with Google using your Google account. You can use the same apps to restore them in your new ROM,
What you should know about this Kit Kat Patch on the M110S​
a) It is basically using an i9000 CWM and Patching it for M110S, as such the CWM used will only be useful to install the Kit kat ROM, and its basic functions like making a nandroid backup, will not be working after patching, as the patch will change its build prop to M110S
b) mic used for recording as well as ringtone for incoming call, is not working after the patch is executed on any CM Based i9000 Kit Kat ROM
c) When charging, avoid using the Device as touch becomes erratic.
d) Actually you can use any Kit kat ROM but because once the patch is applied further flashing fails to boot the Phone, Gapps has to be prepacked with the ROM, So only [ROM][4.4.2][SHW M110S] Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 KitKat v5.0.1 by @rodman01 is currently available by courtesy of Resurrection Remix Team.
So IF the above is acceptable to you, than you should use this Patch, as indeed Kit Kat will make your device perform much better.
The Kit Kat ROM's for Korean Galaxy S (SHW M110S) that have little to NO issues at the moment are​
Common Issue in Kit Kat ROM's being having NO Ringtone only vibration and Mic for recording fails to function
[ROM][4.4.2][SHW M110S] Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 KitKat v5.0.1 by @rodman01 has been prepacked with Gapps and tested for M110s & M190S
Warning!!! & Reminder
What you do with your Phone is your own responsibility, so do it at your own risk. Always ensure your Battery is fully Charged prior to flashing any phone​ ​Installation procedure for Kit Kat upgrade using Kit Kat Patch​​

RR on M110S

Great Tutorial!! :good: many thanks for it and many thanks for testing our first Resurrection Remix Rom for the M110S, which has core gapps included. I just opened a new thread where you can find screenshots and download links, as well as more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50215702. And it should also work well with M190S, as M110S and M190S are pretty much the same.

Help!
i followed the procedure as it is, but been having several issues since yesterday.
i came from stock 2.37. WF07 with tegrak kernel and ext4 lagfix
these are all what i have encountered so far...
-sleep of death; managed to fix it though by formating the internal sd
-boot loop; it keeps on bootlooping to that android working with korean characters (this happens at times when i reboot the phone and there is no way to fix it, other than flashing back to stock and doing the whole conversion process over again)
-no imei; i have backed up my efs as per instructed. but i cant fix it by using the backed up efs
-no wifi; wifi is grayed out. this is something that at this time really bugs me out.
any advice or help will be appreciated as everyone who might experience the same problems will have a quick solutions for this issues.
thanks!
PS.
reason why i bought this phone is for its wolfson DAC that produces audiophile grade sound quality.
do all KK Roms support Voodoo Sound?
i tried flashing 4 KK roms already
SlimKat
SuperNexus
Omni ROM 4.4 Kit Kata
and the Resurrection Remix®

First thing about devices is that you should avoid lagfix, But if you did, you must undo it before flashing anything else, you could have serious problems when not undone. IF you did not format your SD card, the tegrak restore files would still be in your SD card, so flash the WF07 and tegrak kernel and undo lag fix.
follow this How to Flash and UNBRICK Samsung Anycall Galaxy S ( SHW M110S ) to flash and recover.

Thanks for the response
i could directly flash back to the stock 2.3.7 but i cant flash the tegrak kernel. it says error about dbdata. i tried to flash the pit files for 110s from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29331775&postcount=1 and the samsung logo has changed, to the one that seems like old samsung anycall logo with talk play and love. then the downloading icon became english when it was used and supposed to be korean. now i could no longer boot the phone with ANY available rom. even the stock ones.
what should i do.
please help.

I gave you the link to follow, but you chose to follow your own direction, so its pretty difficult for both of us. You see that link had directions and links to the repair kit with pit files and by using it, you can recover from most problems.
so use the repair kit, if you can get download mode
if not, try hard to get download mode, follow [Tutorial][A.I.O. Rescue & Recovery] My Android Solutions. [Help & Troubleshooting] without it, you may have to take it to service center to reslove.

Done, but need more help!
i followed the guide and everything went smooth..
successfully removed lagfix ext4, and managed to boot KK, and it was a very pleasing experience.
but, the main reason why i bought this phone is to use it as a portable music player ala- ipodTouch. there is no sound coming from the jack.
tried two roms, AOSP based SuperNexus and SlimKat, both didnt work.
reading the description, there should be no reason for this right? its says, MIC IS NOT WORKING, but is it built right into the head/earphone jack? the voodoo sound app, has this option of hi-fi RECORDING, so does that mean that the mic and the earphone jack are working as one piece of hardware?
can anyone explain or help?

ambetdelarosa said:

Click to expand...

Yes possibly so, the problem being we are technically using an i9000 ROM ( which does not have a DMB TV and also uses a x gold modem) all this are related components for sound to be channeled in the correct way. The M110S is using a qualcom modem and has a DMB TV & Radio hardware, for which we don't have the schematics or direction, how sound is directed (from mic, modem to speakers and headphone ) this has been the problem all along.
The other Galaxy S range of devices did not have this problem as the Google Nexus, is same as the i9000 range of phones , which made it easier to port from Google releases of Android.
BTW you should only used CM based ROM.s AOSP is not compatible with the patch so follow directions as given in the 1st post and use ROM recommended for it.

sorry, why you stop at step 7? M110S and M190S are same except for S hoppin feature implemented by SKT, so if you have a problem you can use the M110S repair kit or the M190S tutorial to get back to stock ROM again.

depends on your unit
M110S latest Gingerbread ROM is WF07
M190S latest Gingerbread ROM is WD19
so basically you need Gingerbread bootloader to upgrade to kit kat

[GUIDE] How to root m8_dugl (M8 Dual SIM)

Hi
As I struggled a bit, here's how to root the HTC One M8 Dual SIM.
Disclaimer
As always, if you **** your phone up, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. Further, I will not answer any questions about this. Please help yourself.
Please use the "Thanks" ( :good: ) button if you just want to say "Thank you" or "Great" or "I wanna marry you".
Prerequisites
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8_dugl)
A complete backup of your phone! (e.g. with titanium backup)
fastboot installed
USB Cable
Some time (do not hurry!)
htc DEV UNLOCK (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions)
Warning
Make sure you have a "m8_dugl" device:
Reboot your device to the bootloader (POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN). If it reads there something different than "m8_dugl", then this guide is not for you!
Steps
Download the custom recovery "TWRP" from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/ALL/Recovery (See hint below)
Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" to you phone's internal SD
--> Until now no harm has been done to you device but DEV UNLOCK. So this would also be a good time to do a BACKUP! #JustSaying
Open a command prompt and navigate to your fastboot executable.
Put your phone into fastboot mode: POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then press POWER+VOLUME_DOWN. You see some options soon. Use the volume buttons to navigate, the power button to perform the selected action. Select FASTBOOT and press the POWER button.
Connect you phone to the PC
Type "./fastboot boot path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
If boot does not work, you can flash the recovery to your phone. But remember: When you do a stock update, you must revert back to a stock recovery!
Do flash the custom recovert, type "./fastboot flash recovery path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
Touch "Install"
Select the "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" file
Swipe to start
Touch Reboot System.
You're phone should be rooted.
** Hint **
If the newest TWRP does not work, try a different one.
If none of them work, try the official one: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225
If the official TWRP does not work for you, you can try the following one, but it's rather old: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...al-sim-european-version-t2816991/post54258731
****
Cheers,
Chris
PS: @donmarkoni provided some resources that might be useful to you. See his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56134225&postcount=12
Changelog:
[2015-01-18] Updated parts that do not work anymore. Made version numbers generic.
[2014-10-20] a) I have been hinted that the official TWRP should work for the m8_dugl as well. b) The current version of SuperSU is v2.14 and works well. c) @donmarkoni provided some more resources worth mentioning.

Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" to you phone's internal SD

You should be rooted.
I did not test that yet, but this method should not prevent you from receiving OTAs. But I won't vouch for that.

Thank you Chris,
step by step guides are always helpful, as the answer a lot of questions about the whole procedure. So I´m at least rooted now. Let´s see if OTA´s will work, but they can also be installed via adb. I prefer having a custom recovery for installs and making backups from data, so this solution is the one I need (and always used before btw).
Thank you !
Guido

thanks alot i hope xda opening section for us HTC-M8 Dual Sim Owners

I read somewhere that our dual sim should get directly Android L and until then no update. Xposed module, sense 6 and Wanam Xsense are working good, of course u need to be rooted

FYI - You might want to update this guide to point to the official TWRP for M8 now that it supports Dual SIM.

have you checked the file?
the '2014-07-26--03-35-20 KOT49H release-keys.zip' is a clean TWRP backup?
i have made my own backup by temp installing TWRP 2.8 so can also confirm that works (thanks again Captain_Throwback)

That's why I usually don't install the recovery but only boot it. We'll see in Spring 2015 if it works, it seems that we won't get an update any sooner.

[Root] CFAutoRoot For SM-T807T/SM-T807P + Firmwares

Note: I did not make any of these root methods. Credits of the people who confirmed/ported cfautoroot is at the end of this post. I got permission to post these root methods here as most of the discussion happened in the General thread. I am not responsible for any damages done to your device. This will trip knox as always and this root method is only for the TMobile and Sprint Tab S 10.5! You've been warned!
Root is now available for these devices! Hope you enjoy and hopefully this should get some development going!
CFAutoRoot for SM-T807T(Tmobile)
Ripx88 confirmed T805 Cfautoroot works for SM-T807T, but you may have a broken recovery. He also confirmed that Twrp and Philz CWM for SM-T805 also works on the SM-T807T. Thanks to him!

Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA (AP in odin v3.x) button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, manually shutdown your device and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
Flashing with Odin
1. Put your phone into download mode. To do this turn the phone off and then press volume down+home button+power button at the same time. You will then get a warning saying press up to continue and down to cancel, press volume up and you are now in download mode
2. Start Odin
3.At this point please make sure that ONLY TWO OPTIONS TICKED are "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" (otherwise you could end up with a very expensive paperweight)

}
4. If there was only one tar file when you extracted the firmware put it in the PDA section.This just means this file contains the PDA+PHONE+CSC all in one firmware
If there are three files they should have one of PDA/PHONE/CSC in their names look for this and put them in the corresponding section.
5. Plug your device into the computer, wait for the drivers to install and then wait for the ID:COM section to turn blue.
6.ONCE AGAIN CHECK YOU HAVE NOT TICKED RE-PARTITION OR PUT IN A PIT FILE
7.Press start and the flash will begin, once this has started do not remove the usb cable or turn of your computer or the device the phone will reboot once the flash has finished.

Post from main thread.
CF-Auto-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. In essence, it does nothing but install and enable SuperSU on your system, so apps can gain root access.
Donate
CF-Root and CF-Auto-Root have been available for many devices (over 50 different models !) and have clocked over 9 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that include CF-Root (non-Auto) kernels. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every user had donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery (note that any other recovery you may have installed will be overwritten !)
What's the difference between CF-Auto-Root and CF-Root, and/or other root solutions ?
CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that usually provide more than "just root". CF-Auto-Root is built on an automated system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root access, and nothing more.
The difference with many other rooting solutions is that those will often install a custom recovery for you (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons), while with CF-Auto-Root you will end up with a stock recovery again.
Not included - custom recovery
A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP is not included.
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Bugs.
WIFI Bug Fix: In root explorer go into system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
It needs to have permissions fixed to "execute" by "user" "group" and "others" by using your favorite file explorer
this will fix your "obtaining ip address loop" without having to ever use static ip address- goriell

You know what.. here is the kernel and stock recovery for the SM-T807T.

Will look into this later this evening. I have been patiently waiting for a root method for my Sprint Tab S, so I'm really hoping this pans out. Thanks for posting the info!

Please let me know if it works smoothly. I'm still in the process of tweaking it and looking for bugs.

Anyone have the firmware for the T807P? I see the T807T is up there, but think us Sprint users would need the correct firmware correct or we can run the TMo variant and be fine? Just want to confirm. If that is all we need. I'll go ahead with the process right now.

Hey do you have the firmware downloaded? If so can you mirror it for us? I dont have an extra 14 hours to download and upload the firmware

Tried to download the CFAutoRoot file (Sprint SM-T807P) from the link in the OP, but the webpage couldn't be found.
Anyone else experience similar behavior?

Works fine for me. Are you on att? Mirror to google drive will be coming. Standby

Yeah, the WAN at the office is managed by ATT. Are they notorious for having issues with MEGA?
I'll try downloading again from home this evening - meant to do that last night, but it fell off my radar.

Att blocks mega because of the history of mega and copyright claims. Ill make another mirror with google drive.

For anyone having trouble with the T807P root please post information on what happened and I will try to troubleshoot it. It is suppose to be a quick and easy CFAutoRoot using ODIN. I will say that it doesn't work if you are trying to use Odin on a virtual machine. It will stop as it tries to upload the cache.img. There is something about virtual machines that blocks it or Odin just doesn't like.

Uploading Sprint firmware now Will also upload the boot.img amd recovery if a dev wants them.
