I currently have a rooted Note 8 running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, running build NMF26X.N950USQ2BQL5. I am trying to update it to Oreo. I have installed Odin v3.13.1, v3.12+ (PrinceComsy), and v3.12.3 with no success. I have extracted the firmware from SamFirm and downloaded from a third-party source and nothing.
My issue is when I run Odin, either I get stuck on Setup Connection or beforehand. I have never gotten past this point. Device status currently says Custom. I have looked throughout this forum for some answers but couldn't find any. I apologize if this has been answered. Please direct me to the thread if this answer has been answered. Thank you. I have spent far too long working on this and it is really annoying.
Not even related to the root.
Stuck at setup connection means theres a connection problem between the phone and computer. try a different usb port, usb cable, reboot comp and phone and try a different comp(this is the order of trying things)

I have, twice actually. I can't find the link to one I download, but I know it was the same as I previously download.
Here are the steps I have taken as I tried again today after the first response:
1. Run Odin as Administrator ( I tried the newest version today, v3.13.1)
2. Add each file to the corresponding location (AP to AP, BL to BL, etc.) using the latest firmware extracted from SamFail which I believe to be Oreo update from T-mobile)
3. Manually enter Download mode using Volume Down + Power button + Bixby button
4. Press Volume-up to enter Download mode
5. Connect via USB, to the computer using the USB ports apart of the motherboard itself
6. Click Start
7. After 2-3 minutes, failed. And that happens at least ten times in the last two days. No matter if I switch USB ports, change cables, restart the computer, restart the Note 8.
You didnt mention changing the computer...
Is a red message on the phone displayed after Odin fails? What does it say?

So I switch to a new computer and the same error. I follow another guide which stated I need to first update to N950USQS2BQK2 then ADB Sideload. I tried updating, but Odin didn't see the files. Only when I first extract them, it would briefly see it then go away completely. I realize I was already on that update and tried to sideload, got an error twice when it first started to unpack the file. I tried to use Odin to the latest update for the Note 8, same error. I genuinely don't know what to do anymore.
first check with adb command to see if device is showing connected and recognized , then use adb command to reboot to download mode,
adb reboot download
after that odin shall work . it worked in my case ..

Install Samsung Kies to be able your PC to detect your phone via Odin
also check the debugging mode in the developer options

I have uninstalled the older Kies, re installed the latest.
I have installed the lastest odin.
Have tried to link up with and without debugging, odin still does not see phone when in recovery mode.
Only time odin see the phone when phone is in normal mode.
Starting to get annoyed now lol, i cant cut my sim to fit phone, untill this is done
I cant see my s2 on odin either, what am i doing wrong ????
1. Reboot PC
2. Ensure KIES is not running and kill any KIES processes in PC task manager.
3. Download mode
4. Connect USB directly to PC port (no hub)
5. Wait for any drivers to instal or load on PC
6. Start Odin in administrator mode
If still no good;
a) Different USB cable
b) Different PC USB port and wait for drivers

Thanks . Seems that I had been pressing volume up not down.
I have another question . I used chainfire Rom to debrand the phone but keis does not recognize . How can I solve this . Could it be because the phone is rooted ?
i am having this problem at the mo, I have tried all of the above, apart from a different pc.
oden worked fine with my galaxy s2
is there any more updates on how to sort this out please?
thanks

I know this is a 7 day old thread, but I feel for you having been in the same situation. Firstly, have you installed the Android SDK? If not then I advise you to do so. Do a search on how to install the SDK. There maybe smaller downloads available with a package of the binaries you need to do some testing i.e. adb. The instructions will elaborate about how to set up your Environment settings in Windows. Essentially ADB needs to be called from within any part of your Windows system....or else you will have to cd to its location each and every time you want to do something like this. So once you have done that, open command prompt and type adb and see what comes up? If it says bad command or file name it means your environment settings for the ASK are incorrect, if it displays the adb help text in command prompt you are ready to proceed.
When you plug your device in (not in DL or recovery modes) is it detected by the PC? If so then your drivers are probably fine. If not then it maybe 1 of 2 things? 1 the device is detected but the MTP drivers have not been loaded or 2. No detection what so ever and all drivers need to be installed.
To determine how to proceed you will need to do a bit of investigating.
Note the USB drivers are included as part of the Android SDK.
Check in Device manager inside of Windows to see if anything is detected when you plug it in. If so but it has a yellow exclamation ! then it would indicate you need to update your drivers (but not always?). From here you can test to see if the phone is detected and you only need MTP drivers.
If not then I would suggest uninstalling Keis all together and downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers separately. Install the drivers. Plug in the phone. If it is not detected straight away, then reboot the PC then plug the phone into a different USB port. From here you can determine how to proceed by using adb.
plug your phone in via USB and open command prompt and type this: adb devices
You should see 1 of 2 things.
1) The words "list of devices attached" followed by a 16 digit long ID number a gap and the word "device"
2) just the words "list of devices attached" and then blank and nothing else?
If a device ID is returned then you can proceed with the following. Otherwise you need to do some additional trouble shooting
Proceed here:
Once it is detected by Windows and shows up in Explorer then unplug the phone and go into settings and developer options and check enable USB debugging. Once you have done this it should allow your device to be seen in DL and recovery modes.
Troubleshoot: If not detected try the following:
1) Reboot the PC and plug into a new USB port that you have not previously plugged into.
2) Try disabling USB debugging plugging the device in and then unplugging it and reenabling USB debugging
3) From the status bar try switching modes between MTP and PTP modes. Wait a good minute or so between to allow Windows to detect the driver change. Tip a good indication is your notification tray Icon with green USB disk with a magnifying glass swirling around....Note if you cannot see this at all you probably should drag it into the notification panel so that you CAN!
4) Open up device manager again and ensure no yellow exclamation marks !
Once all this is right and you can get List of devices attached followed by an ID number then you can for sure be able to detect your device from Odin. Make sure you are running Odin 3.04, run it as admin (not necessary but have heard that it helps?)
Good luck

You can try with minimal/no drivers i.e. uninstall kies if you have it and delete the drivers you might have installed on your own-it sounds counter productive but it has worked for me a few times.
You can also try to either install kies or the drivers separately.
Try the forum for your own phone, the people there might know better about this problem.
Also what OS are you on?

hello people.
i was trying to flash the kernel from ics 4.0.4 . first i connected it to the computer to flash it from odin. the green thing that was supposed to show up in odin didnt show up. me being dumb, i clicked start on odin for the heck of it. on odin it said fail. on my player there was this weird symbol.
i tried taking out the bettery and then i waited a few seconds. then i turned it on and the same symbol was there. i also tried going into download mode but when i tried it just showed the weird symbol and then turned black and again and again. i also tried going in to recovery which also did the same kind of thing. (bootlooping) . so has anyone experienced this before.
device info:
samsung galaxy player 4.0 (usa version)
terrasilent kernel
rooted
running icyfusion.
any help would be apperciated!
Its basically the same thing as the Download Mode sign. Don't worry about the awkward symbol, just means you are in download mode

He said that it's the same as download mode. For your information this mode is a forced download mode which means that you need to flash something to get over it. In this case a new kernel.

Try these:
1. Be sure to have anything Kies related not running [as a process] in the background (Task Manager alt+ctrl+delete on your computer)
2. Restart your computer and try the same usb port again (Kies process closed again).
3. Try a different USB port.
4. Try a different usb cord (I have over 4 in my home due to phones).
5. Try a different computer (I have two in my home).
Flash your kernal again as this is usually the case the phone dash exclamation sign icon comes up, odin of course.

The thing is that I cant to get into the CW Recovery Mode either because the phone appears to be charging even without any cable. I know it is not a battery issue, because I have tried with other batteries and nothing changes.
I'd really appreciate any thought that anyone can throw in this because I have read and tried so many things that I'm starting to think that I have bricked it.
You do not make it clear whether you are unable to get into download mode, or you get download mode but odin does not recognize the phone.
Attempt to enter download mode and connect to Odin while the battery is out:
Open odin on the desktop. Pull the battery, then hold the vol down button while plugging in the usb cable. let us know what happens.

I can make it to download mode but Odin doesnt recognize my phone, even though I have Samsung kies installed and it worked before with other roms.

Nothing either, neither Odin nor the system recognized the phone in any moment.
Any other idea??
Start by assuming it is not the phone. Suspect the usual possibilities, and eliminate them one by one. It could be a problem with driver, usb port, usb cable, or PC.
1. Check in Windows uninstall programs dialog. You should have "Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones." If not, install it. If so, uninstall it and reinstall the latest version.
2. Try another usb port. If a desktop computer, be sure to use a usb port that is directly connected to the motherboard. Try all the ones that are available.
3. Try another usb cable. Use the original cable that came with the phone. Try any other cable you can put your hands on.
4. Try another computer. One person even said they could never get their phone to connect on Windows and with Odin, but were able to flash it with a Mac using Heimdall.
If you exhaust all of those possibilities without success, then it is a fairly good bet that the problem is with the phone.

I tried uninstalling the samsung driver and installing it, but nothing. I'm pretty sure is a phone issue, most likely related with the ROM that had installed before, because i tried with my brother's phone, same model galaxy s2 I-777 and Odin recognizes it perfectly.
The thing is that if I cannot connect it to Odin, is there any other way I can flash it? like from a external micro SD card or something? Or any way I can access to the phone in download mode??

Heimdall performs the same basic operation as Odin, but it is built by a private individual, not by Samsung. You could try Heimdall from your PC, or if you could get a hold of a mac you could try Heimdall from it. I'd suggest the command line version, although it has a nice UI as well.
If you've tried all of the four points I posted, then that's all I know to do. But I wouldn't just try #1 and then pass up the other three because you are convinced the problem is in the phone.
Oh, and the final resort would probably be to send it to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos. (not free)

Ok, I don't know why but now Odin started to recognize it. It seems there is something wrong with the usb port and that's why the system couldn't recognize it. But now the problem is that the phone "thinks" that it is always charging and therefore I can't make it to the CW recovery mode, only to the download mode. So now, is there any way I can install some stable ROM on the phone from Odin???

Use Odin to flash one of the stock plus root firmwares; I suggest (4.0.4) I777UCLL6. See the link in my signature for correct thread. The OP of that thread also has full instructions for installing a custom kernel, and which one to use. Use Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro to flash a custom kernel with contains ClockworkMod Recovery. Then use CWM recovery to flash the firmware of your choice. Profit.

Been searching for hours on this and can't get it to work. Captivate will connect to computer normally and allow file transfers. But when I try to put in download mode, the computer won't recognize it. I get a popup window that says USB device not recognized.
I'm trying to restore back to complete stock because I'm having random shut downs and other misc issues. I was trying to us Odin to do it but it doesn't recognize the phone. So I powered up the phone, started Odin, then plugged the phone in...Odin sees the phone now but of course needs it in Download mode to work...so I get ADB and while the phone is connected, powered up, and recognized by Odin, I put it in download mode using "adb reboot download". The command put the phone into download mode but then Odin lost contact the the bubble appeared again saying it wasn't recognized.
I've completely removed all the samsung drivers, shut down computer, reinstalled all the drivers, shut down the computer, plugged the phone into the computer and watch to see that all drivers were installed correctly and the computer recognizes the phone...
So it all works EXCEPT while in download mode...any ideas?

I've been attempting to recover my samsung galaxy A8 from a brick, by flashing the original firmware for 3 days. I successfully got TWRP flashed, and couldn't connect to the phone using MTP, so I ended up using an SD card to transfer the firmware zip. Long story short, I tried to treble it, and it completely bricked, leaving me without TWRP, or anything to boot.
I've put it in download mode, swapped through 10 different USB C cables, and still can't get my PC to recognize it. I've tried two computers, one running arch linux, and the other one through windows 10 and arch linux. Nothing. Whenever I run "lsusb" I can't see the phone. I also can't see it in device manager.

I'm stuck without TWRP, so I can't adb sideload. I did try it back when TWRP did boot, but it still didn't recognize it (I tried lsusb and adb devices)

My device is just not listed. I see it's just running adb devices, and nothing shows up.

My phone doesn't boot. I deleted the system partition. It's on a bootloop, and the only thing I can do is access download mode.
I was able to plug it in. I used the sim card remover to try to clean up the port.. I'm seriously an idiot...
