My Verizon Tab showing phone connecting to a pc. Please Help.

I am having a problem to get my Tab i800 identified by Heimdall. My tab is stock and I might have messed up kernel so I dont have service bars at all. it is always in airplane mode. When I try to use Heimdall it says "failed to detect compatible device". I looked all around and even posted my problem in some threads but did not get any result. My final goal is to get to CM9.
I wanted to post my problem in general forum but I did not wan to break rules of the forum. Please help, any assistance is appreciated.
Update: My Tab now shoeing a phone connecting to a pc. I was having problems with drivers. Now I have ubuntu and do not know what to do next.

I recommend get a Linux.

You won't get heimdall driver problem.

I was thinking the same thing about drivers but before i was able to resolve any software problems. This tab is pain in the rear. I owned fascinate and charge both were piece of cake to root or flash. Currently i have razr. Even with the locked bootloader it is easier to deal with than this tab.

Did you use heimdall drivers?

Why not use Odin instead?

I used odin and it screwed up the kernel. It was clearly my fault but I can fix it. All the guides/zips are made for heimdall.
Because i am tired of researching. I looked all trough internet. Other forums, google and even searched here with sucky search option that xda has. With No results.

Off top of head...
Install Kies (it installs needed drivers)
Make sure kies is not running then use overcome guide to re-stock/partition device (install safe-stock rom then overcome kernel/rom)
Put desired ICS based rom on sd, use recovery to wipe data/cache, flash.

Just installed kies and it said that my device is not supported with kies 2.0??? Do you think that overcome will still work?

Just ignore that message, you wont be using Kies, as I said its just so the correct drivers are installed.
btw, which Tab have you got?

I have verizon galaxy tab. Now I have a phone connecting to a pc sign with an exclamation mark in the triangle. Great, I think I accidentally disconnected the cable while it was flashing trough Odin.
The good news is Odin still sees the tab. I am not sure about Heimdall though.

You may want to try a stock rom from sammobile or the stock roms thread here. Not sure if the Overcome rom will boot on Verizon/CDMA?

I am thinking of using odin and a pit file to return my tab to stock. I need stock gingerbread for verizon tab for odin(md5 file). Can somebody point that out to me please.

do you think your problem is with heimdall or with the tab firmware?

My problem is heimdall. My pc is getting drivers for the tab for Haimdall to work. I tried pretty much everything with no luck. Since I had lots of experience with Odin. I am comfortable flashing trough Odin. But all the guides that I found recently is for Heimdall for some reason. I will try to use Heimdall on different pc(same win7 64bit) to see if that works. If not I need to find a way to flash it trough Odin.

you should really try to put ubuntu on usb stick.
Just download the iso of the latest and get unetbootin (free apps for windows too).
Use it to create USB stick, and it has option to leave spare space on the USB disk to allow for changes to be written on.
Boot it up and install heimdall.

[Q] Dr. Ketan's root method for ICS (CWM keeps rebooting)

Hello everyone,
I am on a stock german ICS and trying out Dr.Ketan's root method.
I have done everything as described, but when i get to CWM it keeps rebooting into itself every time i press any button.
Wondering what is happening with my phone, it sometimes also just reboots entirely out of itself (usually on almost low battery).
Bit scared of flashing with Odin and especially what kernel/rom fits my phone best, any help would be greatly appreciated!

As of now, until further notice, CWM.zip is deemed unsafe to use. Check the thread in the general section. Dr. Ketan has also updated the root guide to reflect this. So if you want to root, you're going to have to use pc odin and flash one if the safe kernels in .tar format like notecore, speedmod, etc. Then use triangle away to reset binary counter.

Thanks, i checked again and he must have updated it just after i started trying lol.
Now i have a new problem, im on a mac.
Ive searched for solutions and found heimdall, but somehow it doenst recognize any of the files or i just dont know how to use it...
Btw whats up with these annoying captcha codes on every post?
Cant read half of em :')

Not sure I can help you there. I use a windows x64 machine. Typically though you have to install Samsung Kies or Samsung usb drivers first before pc odin will recognize the phone in download mode. So maybe try installing usb drivers first?

Hmm, i had Kies installed before Heimdall
Guess this means a drive to my parents to hijack one of their windows machines lol.
Thanks for your help!

Glad to help. Good luck.

Can't you run a VM?
Also search in XDA as there are instructions on using Heimdall as well as MAC & Linux Specifics...
Or, as you say, Steal one of your folks machines
Good luck...

Flashing roms on iMac OSX 10.8.1

Recently bought an iMac and sold my defunked laptop. Never really gave any thought about having issues with Odin or Kies however I am now looling to flash 4.0.4 from 4.0.3.
Problems encountered are Kies not connecting to phone and Odin being for Windows PC (currently dont have windows installed on bootcamp).
Anyone have any sugestions?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Try with hiemdall
Odin can only be used with windows,heimdall is the cross platform program
But google about it before using

Got it downloaded but not had time to really do anything yet. Was really hoping that someone would have an answer the make Kies work as that would be easier for doing my fiances S2 as well.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

As a mac user, my experience has been to not even attempt flashing of roms directly from within OS X. I typically use another windows machine or use Parallels desktop and run Windows from that. Bottcamp is an option as well. If you decide on a rom like CM9,good news is that once you have done the initial flashing of a safe kernel via PC Odin in Windows, you can do all subsequent updates via CWM.
If you are concerned about ongoing syncing of media, there are workarounds for getting Kies to work in Mountain Lion or use other apps such as iSync to sync with itunes.
Good luck.

I use Mobile Odin on the Note and just copy the stock ROM to the SD-Card (from my Mac with the Note mounted as an external drive or Wireless KIES).

Unfortunately, this cannot be installed on Mountain Lion (if it is installed in Lion before upgrading to 10.8.x, it still works).

I'm just saying that someone posted a link to KIES for Mac but the OP asks about flashing ROMs from OSX 10.8.1. You can use KIES to copy the ROM to the SDCard (external) if you mount the Note as a drive on the Mac using USB mode. BUT, if KIES isn't already no the Mac and you're running 10.8.x, then Samsung's installer refuses to install KIES for Mac (incorrectly, I might add, because I had KIES already installed and then upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7.x and KIES still worked).
As an alternative, you can use KIES WIFI (launch from the Note) and then connect to it from your Mac. Use that to copy the ROM (tar file) to the SDCard and flash with Mobile ODIN (downloadable from Google Play; I purchased the full version but I believe the free version will also accomplish this much).

Hey guys. Cheers again to all posts. I resulted to digging out my old and dusty laptop and after a few hours updating it i managed to get kies onto it and run the update through it.

problems with drivers

My device:
Android 2.2
P1000xxjma
Froyo.xwjmi
I can't connect my device to a computer. I have tried with Kies installed and also installed a driverpack I found. The computer just says it can't recognize the device. I am using a usb cable from a galaxy tab 10.1 but that can be the problem, or can it?
I have rooted the device and app root checker says it's rooted correctly. And my problem is that I can't get cwm recovery into it. I have a new rom from cm on SD card but can't flash it because of cwm isn't installed. I need the computer to find the device to be able to get cwm into it with Odin.
Can someone please help me with this problem? Thankful for any help or suggestions. Excuse if my English as misspellings.
Regards
Christian

Yes, likely you need original cable.
And since you are rooted, check if you have protected bootloader.

post #2 about SGTBootloaderCheck

I have unlock the bootloader successfully.
Is there any other way to get cwm into the device other than using Odin, or can it be done without cwm? I have a 4.3 cm rom and googleapp pack on sdcard.
Christian.

You can use heimdall. But you still need the correct cable.

Okey, so either way I need the correct cable then.
I looked and the cable for galaxy tab 10.1 should work for galaxy tab aswell. I wonder what is wrong here. But I will try to get a original cable to try with.

Well if you want to do that, you'll need to upgrade to gingerbread first. And to do that you need to be able to connect to your pc, no way around that.

Odin Error: "Can't open the serial(COM) port"

Hello everyone, I hope this is in the correct section but if it's not I apologize.
I recently bought a new phone, and it finally arrived. The phone I have is the Samsung Galaxy S3, the model number according to my settings is GT-i9305T. Ofcourse, I want to root it and flash a custom ROM so it'll run as well as it possibly can, however when I try to use CF Autoroot with Odin I get the error described in the title of this thread.
I have tried using a different USB port on this computer, and I've had no luck. The phone is recognized by Kies, and the drivers were all installed through it.
Now, does anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying to do it with Odin 1.85 and "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3dv-gti9305t", which appears to be everyone's go-to method for rooting this phone. I really have no idea what else I could try.

Uninstall Samsung Kies. Reboot and try again.
