I have spent hours over the last few days trying to root my Galaxy S5
It have firmware G900FXXU1ANG8 and is model SM-G900F
I have tried towelroot
it failed
i have tried Heimdall Suite
it detects the device but gives failure when trying to save pit file or do anything else
I checked several forums and they say use different driver so i use the zadig and installed libusbK and still problem.
I have tried Odin3_v3.07 Odin3_v3.09 and Odin3_v3.10 and they all dont pick up my phone.
i have tried two different cables and still nothing.
Anything else you can recommend and i have literally spent hours reboot and trying different drivers, restarting computer and looking for different fixes.

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE and cannot get Odin to recognize the device while in download mode on two different computers. I have the drivers installed directly from the Samsung website (VZW_SCH-i905_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0). I get an error in device manager that says "Unidentified Device" and i haven't been able to find anything that fixes it. Does anyone have any recommendations or solutions to fix this?

Did you follow ROOTING YOUR TAB section on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089? Is it 4g? If it's 4g, you don't use Odin. Odin is for the wifi version.
I am not trying to root my device, as it's already rooted and working fine. I'm trying to install the latest TW leak that came out yesterday and the only way to do it is via Odin.
I'm not clear on the TW leak applied via Odin method that you are using. More info/links would be helpful.
Are you trying to flash a ROM?
Update:
Are you talking about this leak-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364222?
Yes, that is the leak i am trying to flash.
I think i just figured it out. Finally found a different driver which seems to have worked. The file name is below.
20070813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe
I guess not...it hangs while it installs the 2nd driver. I've let it sit for almost two hours now and it's just sitting there doing nothing. Odin detects the device now, but it doesn't get past the SetupConnection part and eventually says it cannot connect using the COM port.
Also...i've now tried three different computers with the same result.
recently got a Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon. I wanted to root the device, it was really easy with my old original galaxy so I looked at a few guides which were all using "Root de la Vega" and finally tonight in an attempt to root my device I used the guide at:
phonearena.com/news/How-to-Root-the-Verizon-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3_id48247
I put the phone into download mode and connected it to Odin with the included Samsung USB 3.0 cable. I selected the root de la vega firmware using the AP button and hit Start to begin flashing. Almost immediately after the write starts it fails and on the phone it says:
Quote:
"Secure check failed: cache"
In the guide it mentions there may be problems using the USB 3.0 cable so I tried it with a USB 2.0 cable with the same results. I tried rebooting the phone to see if it had wiped it. Indeed, it had been wiped and is now going to the screen which says there was a problem updating the firmware and says to use the Software Recovery Assistant to restore the firmware.
I am not sure why this has happened. I feel like I followed the instructions to the letter. After looking at some different guides I am noticing that many have you put the phone into USB debugging mode which the guide I was following doesn't mention. Is this why it has failed. Is this strictly required?
I would like to get this device rooted, but now my number one priority is getting it back into a state where it will be more useful than the paperweight on my desk. I tried downloading Kies 3 which I read can restore the stock firmware on the phone. I was extremely annoyed when I realized that Kies 3 would not recognize my phone at all. It says that the device is not supported by Kies 3 and gives me a link to check support (which just brings me to the Kies download page which clearly states that my phone (Note 3) is supported. I even tried to download the original Kies software which will not even recognize the device enough to tell me it's not supported.
Can anyone point me to a way to restore my phone to factory settings? Can I download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin, will this work if I couldn't get the custom firmware to flash in Odin (possibly because of not setting USB debugging?).
EDIT: Note that, following the guide, I did not check which build number my phone is before running Odin, now I have no idea which it is and what stock firmware to download. Is there anyway to figure out which build my phone was on or which stock firmware I need to download?
EDIT: So it looks like my problem is similar to this problem posted on XDA. I followed the link in that thread to this guide to restore the stock firmware. However, it has three different downloads for different builds, I am not sure which I should download or if there is a way to figure it out. Will any of them work? Can I try them one at a time safely until one of them works. I don't want to mess things up any worse than I already have.. I downloaded the MI9 firmware from that page, but this is just a guess... Anyone have any idea?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I'm running into the exact same issue, did you ever find a solution?
Same issue
I have the same issue. Is there no help? Chainfire? do you have a CF-Root for SM-N900V yet?
Thanks. any help is appreciated.
Hello,
I've done quite a lot of searches on my problem, tried a lot of things, but nothing worked, so this thread is my last destination.
I wanted to update to Lollipop, but this doesn't work on my phone because my Knox counter was set to 0x1 (I've rooted my phone once.) A few months ago, I unrooted via the SuperUser app, which went well, I guess. Now I'm trying to flash the new stock firmware onto my phone, but it won't work. It gets stuck at "Get PIT for mapping...". I've tried reinstalling the drivers, use a different cable, remove all other USB devices, tried other USB ports. I've disabled Kies and antivirus software. I've also tried to flash a new PIT file but this won't work because it gets stuck at getting the PIT for mapping. I don't know what to do. I hope someone can help me, I really want to update to Lollipop.
Thanks in advance.
It's mostly solved by a different cable/different usb port. Do you have acces to another pc? Try it on a different pc.

Why would you want to update to stock lollipop? Many people are unhappy and have bugs.
You're sooo much better off on kitkat...
Hi, I've been reading the thread for CF auto root to give it a go. I've downloaded the drivers (I've got 1.5.51 now installed, haven't been able to find later ones), I've got the 2.74 SU version that helps to overcome a recent security policy update issue reverting root status and the CF auto root zip file (CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip) which has odin 3.10.6 included (not quite sure if I can use any recent odin version). I even got my stock firmware com sammobile and extract the proper boot.img from the AP* file (just in case I got something wrong at sometime). I've enabled the OEM unlock too on developer options. I understand I can give it a go without having to go with a custom recovery (still not sure and haven't got the whole picture about the dm-verity thingy and what effects has on the device but someone mentioned something like loosing the encryption or so). This is my first try on getting root on my s7 edge G935F (international version), so it shouldn't have any boot.img problem (but trying to be prepare since I can't go about without my phone being working).
So, I've got my phone into download mode, started odin, loaded on AP the tar.md5 file from the CD auto root zip file (CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.tar.md5), connect the device throuhg usb cable and I was expecting Odin to recognize it but nothing happens. Since in the threads I've been researching for s7 edge there is no indication on waiting to see something happening on ODIN (but in some other threads - not s7 edge related though - mention something about having to see a blue indicator on COM), I'm not quite sure if I'm expected to just hit start even if no apparent change is happening on ODIN nor there is some drivers installing/configuring when connecting the device on download mode. Since I'm quite new to this, I'm no sure if I should connect the device first with some other option enabled, like USB debugging or if I'm missing something quite obvious for someone familiar with flashing with odin?
Kind regards for any help!
PS. I did tried to find an answer through searching but foung nothing related s7 edge wise so I'm at a loss not even knowing if just hitting start without having the device recognized on ODIN will do any harm at all (that newbie I am)
Try odin 3.11
Aldo plug your phone in first and than once recognised load the autoroot to ap

Thank you skinza for your reply, I did tried what you suggested and although it wasn't enough for getting it solved it helped me to know I was on the correct path and that I could use an updated odin.. finally, the problem was on embarrassing one since I went into download mode but hadn't push the volume up to get into the actual ODIN mode (too newbie of me but I was trying to follow the instructions I'd found and none were that specific - a bit afraid of messing it up). Nonetheless, thanks again for your time! Kind regards!
Edit: Now I'm rooted (thanks CF) and it took less than expected (a couple of mins or so). I didn't go the custom recovery way, so it might have been that.

Thanks again! for now I won't be going for a custom rom but wanted to be able to install a firewall to stop some apps from draining my prepaid data (limited)..
I was planning on having xposed installed but it seems I need a custom recovery for that as well.. I used to have xprivacy on a previous nexus 4 and loved I could limit some permissions that are still missing now on marshmallow but haven't got a grip yet as per the effects due to the dm-verity thing.. would you happen to know anything about it? and I was also wondering about if I do need to have the OEM unlock still enabled now that I'm rooted? (The later because I'd been robbed of my cellphones in the past - even recently a new s7 edge that didn't last me even a month and wouldn't want to let them have an easy pie on having the device available)
Regards!
I'm facing the same issue but even after going into download mode properly after pressing vol up
odin doesn't detect my s7 edge
I've installed all the drivers also

Got the same issue. I'm new with this. My colleague wants me to learn and test and load Lineageos on some brand new S7 G930F devices he gave me which I have already switched to dev mode with OEM unlock and USB debugging on and the devices smoothly jumped into ODIN downloading.... mode
I also have the proper Samsung USB Driver installed. (did it several times after ODIN didn't recognize my device)
However, according to the manual, I should start up ODIN, then connect the device via USB cable to the workstation (as unsuccessful I already tried 3 workstations with Windows 7 and Windows 10) whilst having the phone in download mode... .BUT NOTHING APPEARS in the Log field and the ID:COM Box doesn't change colour and my manual says that it should.
My workstation however recognizes the devices with positive messages so I guess the drivers are good.
My co-worker gave me ODIN v3.10, but as this didn't work I downloaded and installed V3.12, but unfortunately also without any luck.
What am I doing wrong?
which OS?
S7 edge SM-G935F
Hey guys,
i tried rooting my s7 edge but after i got into TWRP my phone went into a bootloop. when i got back download mode, odin still found my phone, though everytime i tried to enter TWRP again, odin said there was a FAIL and my phone immediatly went back into bootloop. I tried to reinstall the samsung usb drivers but now odin cant find my phone anymore.
Before i screw up even more, can someone please help me? right now im stuck in download mode and odin 12, 11, and 10 all wont recognize my phone, also not if i use different cables. my windows laptop however still gives me the device found and device disconnected sound everytime i (dis)connect my phone.
any ideas?
thanks
EDIT: Okay i tried my USB 3.0 port and now odin found my phone. just weird... now i just need to solve the problem that I'm still stuck in the Bootloop but that probably doesnt belong in this thread
Ok, so My case is overly specific, and I couldn't find anything exactly like it around here. But I have a lot of info on the issue.
First off, I have the same phone as the dude who made this post a while back. My issue is different though.
(Model Number: SM-G950U1
Baseband: G950U1UEWU1AQE3
Build Number: NRD90M.G950U1UEWU1AQE3
CSC: G950U1OYM1AQE3
PDA: G950U1UEU1AQE3)
After doing a bit of research, I found out that it wasn't easy to root a US version of the phone, but my dumbass still tried, in the process, I managed to
-Deactivate USB debugging (a tutorial said to Erase the phone after the process, which failed and erased the phone)
-Break the Stock firmware
I tried flashing different firmware I found on some different [modded, ofc] versions of Odin, but with no luck, sometimes it'd just tell me it failed, other times it'd give me the infamous "Auth error".
Today, I found what appears to be the actual firmware for my phone (This one, right here) and after waiting literally 16 hours for the "free" download to be completed and checking the file for any viruses, I finally tried to flash it. I'm still trying, but up to now, 5/8 trials have failed (These trials are a combination of all the USB ports in the computers, the different ways to flash, and the different versions of Odin I've installed).
For extra background, I'm using an old DELL Latitude D500 from 2003 to flash the Firmware.
Now, all I want to know is if there's a way to get this to work. Do I need different firmware? The original cable? A newer PC? Different Odin Mods? Literally ANY help is much appreciated. (yes, I backed the phone up before attempting to root, no it's not my main phone, but I hold emotional value to it)
Quick edit: After all trials, all new errors appear to be AUTH! errors on the PC. I also tried flashing the files separately and the phone gives me the following errors:
AP: fused 6 > binary 1
CSC: fused 7 > binary 1
CP flashes just fine
I did not try to flash the BL separately out of the fear that it would flash incorrectly and not let me enter download more anymore.
Edit 2: yes, I'm using Samsung's USB drivers.
JOOC: Do you use Samsung's ADB ( USB driver ) or just one that is utterly idiotically hundred of times recommended in the WEB?

I managed to install the latest version of Samsung's USB driver on the PC, so that's what I'm using.
