This is the picture of my miserable failure in trying to get "Official" Status. There is a parallel thread here but because i'm not getting any good progress on it, i'm trying to isolate the issue.
So far, i've tried:
Changing cables x3
usb ports x4
reinstalling drivers
killing kies
uninstalling kies
changing computers
disable and re-enable debug
using another copy of kies but still 3.07
punch my dog
none of those have worked, i'm pretty desperate, i really dont know what to do, i've literally spent the last 5 hours working on this, going into other XDA device threads that had people with similar issues, i'm not sure what i can do anymore
My goal is to get official status, i dont care how i get there but i want to be able to have OTAs.
I am willing to bet you are having a drivers issue. Try to completely uninstall anything you have that includes drivers for the phone (Odin, Kies, ADB, and anything else you can think of. The next step will depend on what OS your PC is running as to how you will need to install the proper drivers. I see that you said you tried to reinstall the drivers, but are you sure you deleted ALL copies from your PC before reinstalling and are you sure you are trying to reinstall the correct drivers?
Yes, i am installing the correct drivers (1.5.14.0). Also i have already use a registry cleaner after uninstalling the drivers to make sure i deleted all traces of it.
EDIT: I've also just tried Odin 3.06 with the same result

First of all, if you are ever using Odin you should be removing Kies to prevent any conflicts from when the device is connected. Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled (didn't see you mention that in your original post, so just checking).

1.5.23 is the newest drivers, Go download those.
Link for the lazy: http://www.modaco.com/topic/361286-...or-mobile-phones-15230-win-87xp-adb-fastboot/
P.S Uninstall your old drivers BEFORE you install these.

i did actually "disable and re-enable debug", and kies is already long gone
i'll try with the newer drivers and report back. Thanks guys
edit: SAME THING DIFFERENT DAY tries with USB_Driver_v1.5.23.0 and it did the exact same thing. I noticed also in the 5 minutes its stuck at setupconnection that my screen was coming on every 30 seconds for about 15 seconds, im sure it has to do with new drivers because it didnt do that before. I dont know why the S4 is giving me such a hard time...i've used odin 20x with my S3 and never had any issues
PPS: I have tried a new computer, the 3rd. My guess is that there might be a problem with the phone, i've tried everything else.
my friend this is 100 percent a driver problem, heres how to get your phone running, go to a friend that doesnt even have a samsung phone
(most likely to have never installed the drivers before) install these drivers
http://ul.to/6yvg703y
then Reboot the PC/Laptop
then use this Odin
http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
and flash your phone
pm me if it work for you @polish_pat

No it's not. I've tried this 50 times already. I tried it on my laptop, i've tried it on a Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook i bought 3 days ago and my dad's Asus All-in-one, the last 2 computers have never even seen a samsung phone connected. It's not a driver problem.
Anyways, like i said in my other thread:
Well, i never solved the ODIN issue, but in any case, i have achieved my goal of getting official status, i had to restore phone by using the stock format function, i then use motochopped to root again and never lost official status while doing all that. I'll leave it at that for today, this gave me a headache

Yesterday afternoon there was a notice on my phone for an OTA update. When I tried to install the phone said "no upgrade available".
Later in the evening I connected my phone to Kies, I was again offered the upgrade, but it would not install because my battery was too low.
Having had the phone on charge overnight I tried again this morning, and the upgrade was successful.
The details are,
PDA LH3
Phone LH1
CSC LH2
As I've only just finished the update, I can't tell what the changes are, but if I find any important differences I will update this thread.
Please Note: As far as I know, this update is for 3UK only.
Was already reported multiple times ... it's just an ICS update. Update is also showing up for other countries/providers.
I got this update this morning , I believe it was about 57Mb. The few changes I noticed were brightness slider in the pull down notification bar and I think a bit better battery life than I normally get. A few minor tweaks I noticed were when adding something to a home screen, before the update it used to say Add from Apps, whereas now it says add from Apps and Widgets. I think I also noticed that in the battery graph, before I could refresh by tapping the left hand menu button, but now the refresh is in the top right corner. In the power menu there are 3 buttons at the bottom too. Im guessing a lot of other carriers will have this or similar update too. I lost Root in the process of updating but that didn't matter much, just a 2 minute job to re-root so it was okay.
Hopefully Official Jelly Bean will build on this good start and be even better for our great phone ;D
I go for unlocked phones whenever I can, so I get stock updated asap, rather than waiting for bloatware, it's the only reason.
I think only my first phone was a network locked phone, and it was a dumbphone so I didn't mind, not to mention young, about 11 or 12 at the time.
Now unlocked phones are important to me so I can get stock updates faster, unless I flash custom, then it won't matter

I have SGS3 on 3UK.
My Rom is IMM76D.I9300XXBLH3
How can I root/flash this.
Kies won't update says I have latest Rom (lies)
Odin doesn't detect phone.
SGS3 root tools doesn't have my firmware listed.
How do I do this?
Read loads, tried allsorts of random connection variations, still stuck.
First Samsung after 2 years with HTC Desire HD (first smartphone) which I found easy to root with 1.32 RUU and visionary+
Please help

1st, your on the latest firmware that's why kies won't update further?
2nd Close kies first or Odin won't see your phone.
3rd Get cf root and flash with Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Tried with only kies installed.
Tried with only odin installed.
Tried with either set of drivers individually installed.
I believe that the Rom is latest from 3uk, but I want to get rid of all that crap and use latest unbranded Rom.
Still does not tell me how to root with this ****ty Rom.
Quick response, thanks, but not helping get round the 3uk crap.

If kies can see your phone the connection/drivers is/are fine. Just close (not uninstall) kies, open Odin and it should see your phone.
Try enabling usb debug under developer options on your phone.
If you want rid of 3's crap you need to flash a stock (unbranded) rom. Kies will only find an update for whatever your running. If you have a 3 rom, you'll only get 3 updates.
You could always flash a rom with root already built in, just search for one you like the look of.

Odin still not showing my phone.
Can I use adb like on HTC? And if so what would be the command line to flash, say, cwm or a stock Rom?
Also just realised that Odin won't help if I can't click start button anyway, darned stupid software is mostly offscreen at my max resolution.(1024*768)

You can use adb but if your pc can't see the phone its not going to help.
I doubt very much that having a 3 phone is the problem. You need to look again at your drivers. When you plug your phone in does windows start installing a driver? Does it suceed or give an error?
What about if you enable usb debugging?
Either find the separate Samsung drivers and install them, OR run kies, choose troubleshoot connection, try plugging phone in again. Once kies can see your phone close kies *** you must close kies ***, run odin. Pull cable and plug in again. Odin should light up if it sees your phone.
Kies is a pile of crap, odin isn't. I don't understand what you mean about max resolution and not clicking start button, you mean of odins start button or Windows???
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Kies can see phone. USB debugging is enabled. Windows has Samsung drivers installed and working.
It's Odins start button I can't see (off bottom of screen)
So adb should work fine if I can have command line for it.
Once I've got cwm touch flashed I can stick a stock Samsung Rom on and root it.
If I can do that with adb will be awesome.
Thanks for all help so far, and in future.

Try Odin v1.85, you can then see the start button on 1024x768.

Thanks guys. Will try ans find a source for that version of Odin.
Definitely going to try to find the commands for adb still as I am much happier with command line stuff, as I am an old school coder at heart.
If I can get the adb commands I might even knock together a win7 front-end for it.

Thanks for this, but can you please tell me how come your method does not use "Cofface’s ClockworkMod Recovery"? I was reading a couple of posts on the net and saw
you have to flash the Cofface’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your device before you can root it, there’s no way around it, and is a strict requirement if you wish to root your Galaxy S4

This is what i found easy for me and created a thread which could help others also
So, do we need to flash "Cofface recovery" after rooting with your method?
If yes, can you also please add "how to flash "Cofface recovery" to your original post so we can have full steps here?

1) Disconnect your phone from the Computer
2)Open Device Manager
a)Go to Start Devices and Printer.(Windows 7)
b)Then right-click Device Manager.(Windows 7)
3)Look Down at Universal Service...
4)Expand it and look at USB Composite Device.Right-Click on it and Uninstall.
or
5)Uninstall everything in there.
6)Connect Device Open Odin and see if it works
7, Try changing USB ports that could be the main issue
Note u have to connect device in download mode
I tried CF-Auto-Root, earlier it gave me the same message but after I changed from Windows 7 to Windows 2003, things went normal.

BTW i have tried rooting through Cofface recovery & got success. Also add latest ODIN 3.07 V from here.
Same thing happened with me when I was using Galaxy S3 ODIN V3.07 for rooting my S4.
I've been digging around online and can't find anything that helps me in my case.
Here's my stupidity: I flashed a kernel that was not intended for my phone (meant for Note 2). Reboot and dead screen. Can't get into download mode, recovery, nothing. Removed battery. Didn't help. Plugged into computer. Doesn't pick up anything connected. Odin doesn't see it. Tried RIFF. Can't get it to install the drivers it's supposed to. I saw something about jig dongles that can force it into download mode but I don't know about that.
What really stinks is I had just compiled SheepShaver for android and it took a few hours of work and I really don't want to do that all over again. Also pictures of my father who's just passed away are on there.
Am I screwed? Is there any way at all to get the proper kernel flashed back on this thing without a wipe? If not is there any way I can fix this phone? I have a semi-recent backup (about a month old) on my SD card. I have both Titanium Backup and a full nandroid backup on the SD.
Someone please come to my rescue. I've logged countless hours on this phone and I love it. All this because I couldn't get SELinux to go permissive...
You already know the answer. If you flashed a kernel not for your device and with the symptoms you have, your hard bricked. Jtag is the answer.

I think you will need the actual riffbox device. I've long since given up on trying to interface over USB. Riffbox talks directly to the memory chip. Need to be comfortable with soldering. But I do happen to have a link to the latest release of their software. http://www.unlockforum.com/showthread.php/riff-jtag-manager-v1-72-more-new-models-32724.html?
Thats the forum they use. The official site is riffbox.org
Sorry I don't know much else to tell you. If it won't boot it won't listen for a connection on USB. Some devices have a failsafe that activates a sort of programming mode over USB but the Galaxy S4 isn't one of those devices afaik.
So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?
I"ll help
You need to adb sideload xdabbebs download mode restore and flash back to stock. Here is an excellent guide on adb sideloading, download xdabbeb restore download zip and put it where it tells you to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

Just so you know it talks about flashing a ROM, but just use the zip you need insted, because it's the same principal.

i just happened to have a brand new data cable, tried again with same result so its not media related unless there is an issue with the plug itself, but it's charging and the Device manager shows the correct name ie VS980, it just has a yellow bang on it and i cant find a driver that changes that.
read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
which is where i found the "download mode restore" file you mentioned(i didnt see it in the thread you provided), but without the ability to get adb usb command to work i dont see how i can use it.
any ideas?
Put the zip on usb otg and flash it.

awesome, ty sir. i happened to have one of those laying around from when i cracked my screen on my old one and couldnt interact with the screen. took a while to find it buried but i have it and i have successfully been able to access a thumb drive. i think that might be all i need.
will report back though regardless.
ok, now i'm rrrrrEEAALLYY freakin confused...
successfully flashed (via the install section of twrp with usb otg thumbdrive mounted.)
xdabbeb_vs98028a_bootstack.zip
and
xdabbeb_vs982.5_1.1.0.zip
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/xdabbeb-s-vs982-5-v1-0-0-t2975551
but when i reboot, it goes directly to twrp still.
wat? :'(
ok, installed this:
VS980 39A Firmware
from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
rebooted, went straight to twrp again.
installed
Restore to 100% stock
from the same page.
rebooted. it went into an upgrade screen that errored and then rebooted before i got a chance to write down the error. but when it came back up, it started "android is upgrading".
so it looks like this may have worked. again, will update the success/failure when i know for sure, but thanks for the help yall. i really do appreciate it.
WOO-FREAKIN-HOOOO!!!
at the setup wizard now.

Same problem! stupid Ota grrrrr
Your fix worked for me also. Only used the two files listed above and wiped dalvik after flashing both, one after the other with no reboot in between. Many thanks.

sweet, i'm glad someone else found it useful.
Yep, now another problem though. ..no mobile data. .. working on it.
I'd suggest flashing the files in post 12 (I didn't and am having TONS of problems)
So I really didn't get a fix- still working on it.
I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

EDIT 2022-06-30: FOUND A RELIABLE SOLUTION FOR MY NEW T307U TABLET! May work for other models! https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-it-as-a-normal-tablet.4316969/post-87091297
Original post from 2021-08-09 below:
Following this thread to no avail: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/doordash-knox-customized-tablet-unable-to-remove.3890522/
Setup requires an internet connection, at which point it sets up MobiControl:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My friend's an IT so he set up Meraki for me which I can enroll in instead of MobiControl, but a minute later this pops up:
I still have access to the settings but cannot enable USB Debugging.
I flashed a combination file which got me to the "factory binary" where I can unlock OEM and enable USB Debugging, but I don't know where to go from here:
I flashed a stock ROM, but that doesn't get rid of doordash and MobiControl during setup.
Please help!
Which Android version did you flash? Did you finally get rid of MobiControl?

I solved this. Basically, I accidentally bricked the tablet, which I assume is what caused Samsung Knox to fail and thus Mobi Control didn't try installing on a fresh flash of Android 8.1. Fuller story below:
After 3 days straight of trying to reset the tablet, including flashing the combo file, trying anything I can think of, re-flashing the stock rom and seeing if the problem is gone, I finally fixed it.
What ended up happening was, while re-flashing the stock rom on my 4th attempt, I flashed the AP but not one of the other things (I guess CP?) which resulted in the tablet getting bricked.
Long story short, I held both volume buttons and power to boot into a blue download mode (as opposed to a black one via holding power down + volume and selecting download mode, since the volume down + power nor the volume up + power combos weren't working) and flashed the stock rom to it properly.
Upon setup, I was still required to set up wi-fi, but it didn't attempt to install mobicontrol! I've been using the tablet normally since. Who would have known accidentally bricking the tablet was all I needed to do!

After tried 5 versions of Odin, include 2 different v3.13.3, finally got a good news. I can flash T387v firmware Andriod 8.1 and 9. But the bad news is I cannot brick it, no matter flashed only AP or BL. I tried to flash with T387W or T387T firmware, I got PIT error messages.
Which version of firmware were you using?

It's Android 8.1. If that file I mentioned is 9, then it's not the one I flashed, but was instead on my to-do list of troubleshooting steps. I was going to try flashing Android 9 and 10 but I got it working with 8.1 so I'm keeping it on that. Plus, the newer the android, the more secure Samsung Knox will be, so it will be harder breaking it.
Any idea where you downloaded it from? I cant seem to find a link.

Android 10: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__Tab__A__/1hjk/VZW/T387VVRU3CUI2/T387VVZW3CUI2/
"The fact that it has MobiControl installed suggests it's a company device, and is therefore administered by that company's IT department. It's probably going to be difficult to remove MobiControl unless you talk to that IT department about it."
The above is a quote I found regarding Knox and the MobiControl app. Which tells me that this thread, although likely unintentional, is violating XDA Forum Rule #9:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you.
