No root Doesn't need cwm, install the root files from the stock recovery then using the rom manager from market install the CWM. BTW mobile odin needs root so it won't work with you Untill you root

Go to the thread "Root galaxy tab 10.1 the easy way". You will find the link to the file you need. Put the "update.zip" in the root folder of your tab. Reboot into recovery by switching off your tab. Press the left volume button and hold it while powering on your tab. Wait for the recovery options. Now press the volume up botton again and then vol down. Choose the option "install zip from sdcard". It will give you root access and install superuser. Now you can download busybox from the market and complete the root from within busybox app.

connect first is the right way
First .... I think you should have a pc connection to your tab ,, Transfering Files and data through the usb port is fast ,easy and useful
You nay try Install new "Windows 7" to your pc , I'm using Windows 7 and first time I connect my tab to my pc It found its driver itself (may be through internet / not sure)
ODIN is useful /// by the way you may try Mobile ODIN :good::good::good:
sorry for my English...
or I will explain in my language if you understand...
หรือให้กุอธิบายเป็นภาษาไทยก็ได้นะ ถ้าเมิงเข้าใจ 555+

here we are start again.
it need CWM and CWM need Odin and Odin need a connection but my galaxy tab 10.1 3G (P7500) have a red X on the battery icon.
any thing else.

I think I nearly understood you...if you have a red cross on the battery icon it shows that you are still running android,huh?so you need to turn off your tab and go into download mode,because Odin detects your tab only then.please feel free to ask if you don't know how...

yes you are right I'm running android ( big smile )
i did exactly like you said but no luck. still waiting usb cable.
did not connect

....
Did you try mobile ODIN yet

yes i try mobile ODIN . and it's need root correct me if I'm wrong.

Connect your pc to your tab when you are in android,make sure your tab's drivers are installed,go to here:

[How to][guide] UPDATE TO 4.4.2 BOOTLOADER AND ROOT TMO/CANADIAN VARIANTS

The point of this thread is to help people safely update their bootloader so that they may flash a touchwiz kitkat rom.
I have seen several threads where people are running into issues and even development threads get cluttered with questions. So I will give you the steps needed using my method.
Please note this is for windows 7. However it should work on other versions of windows too.
This method may wipe your internal storage completely so transfer anything you do not wish to lose to you pc.
This method will also trip yout knox counter which may void your warranty.
You also may not be able to downgrade to 4.3 so make sure this is what you want to do
I am not responsible for bricked devices. Proceed at own risk
You have been warned!!!
So what you need to do is download a few files.
I have created a zip file and uploaded it for easy access and simplicity reasons. If it becomes out dated I will update accordingly.
What is needed is your variants stock firmware. You need to get the one for your device off sammobile.com
On sammobile you must create an account in order to download (if you don't have an account already).
Once you are logged in click on the firmware tab. Then enter your device name.
Canadian variants enter: SM-N900W8
TMO variants enter: SM-N900T
You will then be able to pick the most recent firmware for your device and download it. So now that you have the correct firmware (please double check, and if unsure google it)!!!
So lets begin
You also need to download the zip file I have made and extract it. Inside it you will find the samsung drivers, 3 recovery options to pick from, the supersu.zip and also odin.zip. once you've extracted the file you've just downloaded you need to extract the odin.zip inside it as well.
So if you have not previously installed the samsung drivers you will need to do so. Simply run the samsung mobile driver.exe file and install it. Once successful in installing, reboot your pc.
when it boots up, connect yout device to you pc and transfer over the supersu.zip over to your phone. The root of your sd card is recommended for easy access.
Now what you need to do is ensure usb debugging is enabled. Do so by going to settings, general, developer options and ensure its checked. If you do not have developer options simply go to about phone, and tap om build number 7 times to enable developer options.
Once this is done you need to power off your device with it unplugged. Now we need to enter download mode. You can do this by holding the home button, volume down and pushing and hokding the power button. You will be presented with a warning screen. You push volume up to proceed or vokume down to cancel and restart device.
We want to push volume up. It will then show a big android saying warning do not turn off target.
Now connect your device to your pc and run odin as administrator.
In odin near the top left you shoukd see a box colored in saying:
Com and have a number. If you see this that means odin recognizes your device. If you do not that means eiter you dont have the drivers installed properly or perhaps you need to try a different usb port or cord.
You then will see a few check boxes checked off. Auto reboot and f.reset time. leave these checked only.
Theres an AP BUTTON. Click this button and then navigate to your stock firmware file you've downloaded and select it. It may take a few minutes to load it. Once it does load all you need to do is click the start button and let odin do the rest. Do not touch anything.
This will take a few minutes. You should see a green "pass" in the box at the top left. Your device will eventually reboot and you will now be stock, unrooted on the latest firmware.
*please note that if at this point your device hangs on the Samsung logo sayong "recovery booting" you need to pull the battery and reflash the firmware. This time also check the repartition box.
Now we need to root and flash a custom recovery.
Again you'll need to enable usb debugging on your phone so I recommend skipping the google setup stuff on your phone.
Once you have enabled it, power off your phone with it unplugged and again enter download mode the same way you did before.
Plug in your device and in odin press the reset button to clear the stock firmware file.
Now connect your device to your pc and again ensure that odin recognizes it.
Click the AP BUTTON again and this time navigate to the custom recovery of choice ( I reccomend twrp. I am also using the tmo version as I could not get the canadian version to boot)
Once selected again hit the start button. In a few seconds you should again receive a "PASS" message. That mrans you have successfully flashed a custom recovery.
Now power off your device and unplug it. Now we need to enter recovery.
Do so by pressing the home button, volume up, and push and hold the power button. Once you see recovery booting you can let go. You will also see in red font: recovery is not seandroid enforcing. That just means you have a custom recovery.
If your device hangs at this screen you will need to oower it off and try a different recovery.
Once in recovery I reccomend making a nandroid backup. (Optional)
Next we are going to root. All that you need to do is press install or install zip from sd card depending on which recovery you chose and navigate to the supersu.zip
Now install the zip by following the instructions of the recovery and then reboot.
Congratulations you are now rooted (you can confirm if you like by downloading the root checker app if you wish) and on the latest firmware and can flash custom 4.4.2 roms for your device. Please read and follow the directions of the op in the thread of the rom you wish to flash.

I replied to your pm you sent me. Anyway just flash a different recovery if it's hanging after flashing recovery. If its hanging after flashing stock 4.4.2 firmware try it again by oulling battery and going back into dl lodem this time also check the repartition box

regarding the stuck on RECOVERY BOOTING, you have to reflash it, WITHOUT ticking the REPARTITION (as stated in the instructions. you just need to reflash again. and it should work the 2nd time around

If you see those options on your screen then you are in recovery mode, NOT download mode mate. It sounds like you are pressing Vol UP + Home + Power instead of the correct way that @Er. Adityaexplained already. Please try it once more and make sure you are pressing Vol DOWN + Home +Power

Unfortunately it sounds like you might have a clone note 4, not the real thing. I've owned a few Samsung from different parts of the world but as far as I remember download mode was always in English on all of them. I could be wrong, but that's just my 2 cents...

That is my feeling too but IMEI checked out which probably doesn't mean anything and on inside under the battery it says N910F . Maybe Samsung could tell me if it is a clone , is there any other way to check besides IMEI ? That is what i get in download mode

There's an app on Play Store called Phone INFO *samsung* that might be helpful. By the looks of the pic I think it's a clone, I thought maybe your phone had the correct looking download mode and it was just written in Chinese (like maybe you had a chinese bootloader/download mode) but that screen shot looks nothing like download mode on any Samsung device I've ever seen except on clone devices. Sorry I do not have more useful or positive info. Good luck!

Stuck at bootscreen (no boot loop) and unable to do anything (Galaxy note 4 N910H)

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and have rooted it before without any problem.
Long story short I wanted to install a custom rom and on the instruction says I need to reset my device to factory before I actually install it (because mine is 4.4.4).
I successfully reset it back to factory settings, however when I tried to install the rom an error occured.
When my device restarted it goes into a boot loop.
So I go into the recovery mode and delete the caches and what not (even selecting the reset to factory setting again).
When my device restart it is stuck at the boot sreen (samsung galaxy blablabla) and it DOESNT LOOP, it just stuck there and I am unable to go into recovery mode.
I tried to reflash it using odin (i can access the downloading mode) up to no avail.
My device is detected by odin (com:x) but when I pressed start it stuck at setup connection and after a while I got the Fail message.
Now I am at a loss and have no idea what else to do. Tried kies, doesnt work either.
Kies doesnt even recognize the connection to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB: I'm a newb at this so please bear with me (and yes I kind of ****ed up)
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you have Kies installed? If that is the case I would recommend you uninstall it. Then manually download the Samsung USB drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Reboot your PC just to be sure.
Then make sure your device isn't connected to the charger or computer and remove the battery and after 10 seconds reinsert the battery and manually boot into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down while holding the power button.)
Then connect your phone to the your PC and run Odin as Admin and try to flash the firmware.
I would also recommend that the firmware you are flashing is the correct one and is not corrupted.
You can check the firmware from Sammobile and after the download check the MD5Sum and then extract the zip file to get the firmware file.
Good luck and report back.

If you want to root your current rom then install a custom recovery (TWRP) recommended then flash SuperSU Current release: https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

Welcome to XDA,
To root your phone you can follow the steps below. Remember you need to have a PC.
1. Download a custom recovery. You can download one from here. Make sure to download the Odin one (not anything else)
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxygrandprime.html
2. Download and install Samsung USB drive for PC from this link
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
3. Download Odin from this XDA thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

Then your only option is using Kingroot. But that's causing problem for you. Can you give me the screenshot of Kingroot that has the problem for you. In past on 5.0 I also tried rooting with Kingroot and it worked fine for me. It works for everyone else as well.

Strange. It should work. I used Kingroot before and it was supported. Even the device is still in the official Kingroot supported device. Maybe it's not working because you have the latest XCS firmware installed. I use xcu and it's working for me.
Looks like you have no other option but use PC method.

I am sorry, I don't have it. I deleted it. But it doesn't matter which Kingroot you use. Because the root files are saved in server. Even if you use a very old version of Kingroot you will get the same root files as the new one has.
I deleted it because Kingroot is a malware (or at least I heard). It takes a lot of your personal details (like IMEI, Phone Number, etc) and adware in both statusbar and lock screen. So I don't like Kingroot that much.

Congrats for rooting your device
To answer your question, nope. This method will not work on any other OEM like Sony, Xiaomi, LG, Nexus etc. This only works on Samsung devices.
