I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (well actually i would like to install a new rom and recovery) , but i am running into a problem.
Odin3 (v1.85) only finds my phone when i am not in the recovery mode (or the sideload to be precise), adb on the other hand is able to to do sideload but the loaded images fail with "Wront footer" and "verification failed".
Some Data:
AP: N9005XXUENA7
CP: N9005XXUENA2
CSC: N9005DTMENA2
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, no root)
USB Debugging: On
Reactivation Lock: Off
USB Driver: Kies 3 (also tried the CWM Drivers)
If you have KIES installed it doesn't play nice with Odin, remove KIES or kill all KIES processes and try again.

Thank you,
i removed Kies and tried again, i still don't get "ID:COM" in Odin.
Sorry I should have said, once you uninstall KIES you remove the USB drivers, you need to install them again. Again, sorry should have said

No problem,
i actually installed the "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" Pack after removing Kies and doing the reboot stuff.
Still don't get the device via odin.
Maybe i will remove all the drivers and try the CWM Driver again.
Try a different USB port - Not sure why it's not showing for you

I tried different Ports (USB 2 and 3), different Cables and different drivers.
Removed Kies3, tripple check that debugging is on and recovery lock is off.
Still, Odin finds the device when it is not in recovery mode (sideload),
Was another user who had the same problem had to use another PC, I'm struggling to think of what may be the cause.
I had also the sane problem. I also tried all ports on my PC but did not work. I installed KIEs on my Laptop and it worked. I could flash the CWM recovery.

Put phone in download mode then with Odin NOT running, plug USB cable to phone. Finally ran Odin ( I'm assuming you installed Samsung USB drivers ).

I did this on a new computer that never saw an Android device before.
Odin does not detect my device despite following this advice and the one before.
I installed Kies, made my device known to the Windows Device Manager, rebooted, connected device while in sideload-mode and waited until detection was finished. The next step was firing up Odin3 v1.85 and my device didn't show up, but i was able to use the adb sideload which failed with "Verification Error" when installing a new recovery or rom.
Could it be that the phone being branded by T-Mobile Germany changed the game even though the model is just plain SM-N9005 ?
Is there another option to root this device or preferably install some other rom without Odin?
Never ran into so much trouble with my Asus eeePad, the Samsung I9000 or the HTC One X.

Well when stupidity strikes you...
I always went into the recovery rom (Vol+ & Power & Home) instead of going with the odin mode (remove battery, power device on with Vol- & Home & Power).
Thanks everyone who tried to help me, but you were no match to my blindness ^^
Maybe this might help someone who utilizes the search function after he or she didn't read the tutorials carefull enough.

Greetings all
Apologies in advance for being a total noob, but I have looked all over the place and not seen a solution to the following:
Having recently replaced my Spica with an S II, I thought I'd try rooting/flashing my old phone.
1) With USB debugging enabled, the device is visible in Keis. I'm using 32-bit Win 7 and everything looks correct under Device Manager. When I turn off Keis and try switching to Odin (v4.03), the phone isn't detected and it seemingly fails to install drivers. Device Manager shows unhappy "SAMSUNG Android USB Modem" and "SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device". I tried using NPS and that basically said go away, I'm too old. I can run a repair in Keis and it's OK until I fire up Odin, which kinda puts me into a faulty driver loop.
2) If I'm understanding this correctly, I need JC3 and above, in order to move to Froyo and above using LeshaK's 2,2 kernel.My current firmware states that it's 2.1 update 1 and the baseband is I570EXXJC1.
Any ideas please on getting the USB talking happily? (Yes, I have tried different ports etc). Also would I need to "flash up" to the later 2.1 and then go from there? The JC3 has me a little confused as the closest thing I see to this is the baseband version.
Many thanks to everyone who may be able to decipher my probs and come back with suggestions.

Once you have installed Kies (so Samsung drivers are present on your computer), you need to connect the phone in download mode.
If I'm not wrong, with the the phone powered off and the USB unplugged, press Vol down + Camera + Power, the phone will start on download mode, then you can plug your USB (to both, PC and phone), and you should see it deteceted in ODIN (a COM port is assigned to it).
Once you flash Leshak's 2.2, you can apply other updates (even gingerbread alphas) from recovery menu (Vol down + Hung up + Power).
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate to ask further questions if needed.
hi my mate has and s4 9505 and he wiped the hole phone like a noob and it wont enter recovery and in odin nothing will flash tried pit file and also stockrom it either gets stuck on setting up connection or stuck on pit mapping part tried adb devices command but its not picking up the devices the drivers will be on his comp as he has all ready flashed things via odin before on the s4 any ideas people cheers

Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.

Did you install the drivers for the phone?
Did u put phone in download mode and flash with odin?
If so, trying closing all kies process, changing usb port and run odin with admin. Flash pit file and stock firmware.

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.
tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff
The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Let us know if it worked
Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.
thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:
Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow
I have a S4 I got in a trade, and It has this error when it boots up. I plug a usb cable in, and it does not recognize it in windows in either the yellow triangle or downloading mode. I have enclosed two pictures to show the errors. Is there any hope for my phone or am I out of luck ? I do appreciate your alls help and directing me to the correct place to fix this.
Thanks!

Looks like whoever had it tried to flash a ROM or something and failed. You'll have to flash the stock firmware in ODIN. I recommend downloading MDL and MK2, because if by chance MDL works then you can get a full custom recovery and not be restricted as to what you can flash. This phone has a locked bootloader so flashing is not as straightforward as other phones.

What links can you provide that gets me the stock ROM, MDL, and MK2.
And thank you so much for the help.
Definitely try the AMDL image first like DeadlySin9 stated. If it is still on that version, you found a diamond in the rough. You'll want to keep it from updating afterwards if it is on AMDL.
AMDL is available from sammobile.com
MK2 is available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
I believe you will have to register on that site to download them.

My biggest problem is this, It will not reconize the usb when I plug it in the computer. I am a computer tech, I know about usb drivers for samsung. etc...Ive done the volume down, power etc where its in download mode, it doesnt reconize the usb. Is there a way to put this on a micro sd card and install it from there? Or do I have to do it from usb?
I would try downloading the Android SDK. It may give you the drivers you need.
Otherwise, try different cables (OEM is best) and different USB ports. Make sure you download the drivers off of the Samsung website. If there is a bad driver on your machine, ensure you are checking the box to delete the driver file when uninstalling.
Otherwise, there is another program called Heimdall that ignores the windows drivers, but I'm not well versed in that one.

What the biggest problem is, I can go to Device Manager and when I plug it in, It doesnt do anything at all. No indication that a USB device in the USB section. But I havent tried kies, I figured, if a unreconized usb device wasnt in the device manager, theres no sense in going any further. EX: I plug my mouse in, it shows up in device manager somewhere. The S4 doesnt at all.

If changing cable and different USB ports hasn't helped, then the USB port on the phone is probably defective and that's an entirely different issue.
EDIT: Also try a different computer if possible.
I know this thread is an old thread but I still wanted to share. I was recently working/ playing with a couple of Samsung Galaxy s4's ( sgh-i337 & sgh-m919). I managed to get the "secure fail: kernal, unauthorized software has been detected by the system" message. These days you hook the device to smartswitch and do an emergency recovery. What I did was hooked the phones up to z3x Samsung Tool Pro in download mode. After selecting the proper device, I clicked the option to read the pit file. After reading the pit file, the device restarted normally with no message. The first time I thought may have been a weird bug but I have replicated it 3 times and the same result each time. This happened after installing or having issues with custom recovery.
Hmm it looks like whoever was trying to install a ROM or custom recovery, forgot to use the Loki exploit.
You can download the MDL firmware from my Google drive here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZXv9FAcDbfkbFZzh078SSMZ85jbMVPSx/view?usp=drivesdk
I've flashed my i9505 many times. I can't remember exactly what I've done, but now the situation is very weird.
1. I can go into Download mode. But Odin doesn't recognise it. Kies doesn't recognise it either. The error message on the bottom right corner of the screen says "USB device not recognized. Your usb device has malfunctioned." I've tried re-install the USB driver, use the original USB cable, even tried it on another PC with no luck. I suspect the very low level USB driver in the phone has corrupted because possibly I flash something wrong in the past.
2. I can go into Recovery mode and flash new ROMs in zip format from there.
3. I can use my phone normally, e.g. make phone call, SMS, WiFi......My computer can recognize my phone as usual when I am in Android.
Any thoughts? Helps are appreciated.
Hello,
Uninstall any previous installed of Samsung USB drivers, clean your Windows registry through CCleaner (not needed but highly suggested) then download and install latest Samsung USB drivers
Now download mode will be recognized on PC
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
There is an easier way. If you are using windows, go into control panel-> Devices-> Right Click on your phone-> there should be a Driver Details-> Go details I think it is-> Uninstall driver-> Have the box ticked-> Uninstall-> Unplug then replug the cable in and it should work.

I've tried to re-install the driver. I even tried to connect the phone to another PC where the driver had never been installed before. Nope.... it doesn't work. Actually, I've searched around in Google for long time. The most likely reason is the usb piece of Android code is corrupted. Well, maybe not android, it should be the lower layer of Linux. I previously installed dual boot system follow this link and I screw it up when I tried to upgrade the primary OS:

You said that in Android USB connection works.
The download mode depends on bootloader, that can't be touched in any way by Android, even you can't touch the bootloader.
It's also write-protected, you can only upgrade it through Odin or through an official OTA update, when flashed you can't downgrade and can't write on its partition if not through JTAG

I have a G360P Boost Mobile version. I rooted the phone using Kingoroot and things were working great.
I rebooted the phone at one point and now the phone only boots in Download Mode.
It doesn't seem to be recognized by Odin or by Kies either.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
More Info, I'm using Windows 7 x64
I tried ODIN v3.09 and then v1.85 and Kies v3
I have tried multiple USB cables in multiple ports.
Just for future reference I was able to exit download mode by disconnecting USB cable and holding down the power button for 10 secs.

honestly like someone mentioned here install the samsung drivers for your phone. I had the same problem, it not being detected until I did that. As far as the rebooting go back to stock. Flash the stock image with odin, or remove root and hard reset the phone using recovery. Hope that helps.
I guess I had assumed that when I installed Kies that the correct drivers would have already been installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Website HERE and was able to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. From that point I was able to boot up and install system updates. Thanks you two for the help.

I googled for a bit and didn't find much other. The results suggested it was a Tracfone model. If that's true I've always had problems finding firmware for Tracfone models, but have sometimes managed to get away with using a firmware from a similar model.
Samsung 820L Product Page (No downloads here )
Phones that may have similar firmware???
If you run out of options I would suggest trying Kies - may not hurt at that point.
