Just got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've been trying to do the quick CF-root

- Model Number GT-I9300
- Baseband Version: I9300XXLE8

Its completely stock, I wanted to root it particularly to get rid of the bloatware. To the best of my knowledge I've done everything correctly.

USB debug on
No Kies running in the background
Odin detects the phone connection when in download mode ("added" appears)
pick the .tar file, make sure repartition is unchecked
hit the start button and it gets stuck at "setupconnection" in Odin.

Also tried running odin in administrator mode taking out the battery for a while to no avail.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Do not connect through USB hub
Try another port (as previous post)
Another USB cable
USB debugging on
KIES process not running in PC tsk manager

Could also try uncheck "reset time"

Sorry to take so long to reply. I've tried all the above except untick reset time.

An interesting note is that I recently tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy S1 as well and it comes up with the same problem. I kind of gave up on the matter and accepted that I can't root my S3, for now anyway.

Any further information would be grateful but not a priority for now.

TRY THIS

This happens to me too (new unlocked S3)
I had also given up but then I figured out how to get past it by accident:
When it is stuck, just unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in, and ODIN happily kicks in and does the flash with a successful PASS result.
Done it quite a few times now.

Jsut a weird quirk of the S3 it seems (my old Note was fine).

BTW I tried different USB ports, nonhubs, cables, ODIN183, 187, 304 etc. All did same, until I found this trick, and BTW I am actually flashing via a hub now and it works fine with this trick.

Hope this helps.

Closing all Kies processes via the Task Manager did the trick for me. Thanks!

Stuck on setup connection

Hi Guys...

Please try the following

ODIN/Download Mode

1. Make sure your device is completely off
2. Volume Down, While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
3. Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
4. Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode

GOOD LUCK:good:

Hi can anyone help me Please

<ID:0/011> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/011> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/011> File analysis..
<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..

This is on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Lte GT-i9195 . Strangely enough i managed to flash the GT-i9190 using the LineageOS 14.1 with the custom clockwork . However my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Lte GT-i9195 nothing happens on Odin .

The screen has the following under download mode in odin :
Odin Mode
Product Name : GT-i9195
Current Binary : Samsung official
System status : Official
Knox kernal lock : 0x0
Knox warranty void : 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB : 0X30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV : 2
WRITE PROTECTION : ENABLE

This is not my first flash , Im familiar with the flashing processes , I've done 3 phones . I tried cyanogenmod , LineageOS and various other stock roms all worked fine . My issue is I have no Boot recovery image . Nothing wants to flash via odin . Stock software crashed so I decided to repair it since it was out of warranty period , No matter what i do nothing works , i can flash perfectly on other samsung devices from the same port , the same pc , tried different roms , thinking roms were damaged via download or extraction . The best of my S4 Mini's are dead the LTE version anyone has a solution give me a shout out please .
