title: ODIN crash flashing tar file in AP
body: <p>Inside OS X Virtual Box with Windows 10 I try to flash my bootloader (TWRP) into a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. In all Odin versions I tried - up to the current latest (v3.12.7) Odin allows to locate the tar file, tells its size. On Start it stops crashing calling a debugger (which I do not have on that windows installation), so I have no idea why it crashes.</p>
  
  <p>The phone is a "reconditioned" phone (chinese with chinese ROM) which I would like to flush. Odin recognizes the USB3 phone port.</p>
  
  <p>When put in download mode, the phone says the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ODIN MODE
  PRODUCT NAME: SM-N9005
  CURRENT BINARY: Custom
  SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
  REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
  KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
  KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
  QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
  AP SWREV: S2, T2, A2, A3, P3
  WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
  UDC START
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And downstairs the phone "says": Downloading - do not turn off target!!</p>
  
  <p>I have uninstalled and reinstalled <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15336" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15336</a> on the windows VM (and rebooted it).</p>
  
  <p>How can I solve this please? I already read tons of blogs and have still no visibility (up to buying a too expensive windows debugger)</p>
