Are there any items, magics, or techniques that can allow a rogue to hide when the enemy has these abilities?
Nothing in PF. This came up in another thread about a week ago.
Flight counters tremor Sense. Silence will also counter blind sight/sense based on sound.
Otherwise, I know there are some feats out there from some of the 3.5 material that helped to counter these types of things.

APG has an anti-scent spell.

Well scent is reasonably subjective to the wind and other outside factors as well as having I believe a few counters in the Adventurers' Armory.
Tremor sense can easily be defeated by....umm...oh! Taking 3 levels of Cave Druid and getting the Lightfoot Class ability. Druid/Rogue, surely that's not the oddest class combination out there.
thanks for the suggestions guys... I like straight rogue so i won't be dipping to get lightfooted however i'll have to check out the adventure armory and getting other misc. items to help it seems. boots of flying and some sort of silence for myself.
Don't forget ranks in UMD and scrolls/wands of useful spells as counters are a valid option.

Boots of levitation, winged boots and horseshoes of the zephyr can defeat tremor sense. As stated above, flight beats tremor sense.
The negate aroma spell from the APG deals well with scent.
Blind sight/sense are difficult to beat because of the non-specific why it is describe. Other then sonar effects and silence it is pretty hard to do without.
Though I have never understood that because to sonar having a silence zone move towards you is like a sighted person seeing deeper darkness moving towards them. It is blatantly obvious there is an area that we can't see into.

Well, except for scent. That one you'll need something like ethereal jaunt.

Begin physics:
Sonar is a bit different than sight here. The important thing to know is that sonar uses sound emitted from the creature, whereas we see light from other sources. Imagine being in a dark room with a flashlight - you can get a decent picture of the layout of the room by shining your light around, but if there is an area where the wall is too far away, that region will just seem to suck up the light. Now if you lived in a world with magical darkness, you wouldn't be able to tell if that area was magically dark, or just has distant walls. Silence to sonar would be like that - it would seem like any objects in the silence were too far away to sense. An intelligent creature using sonar might conclude something was screwy if walls or previously sensed objects suddenly started "disappearing."
End physics derail. Sorry, compulsive teacher at times.
For scent you have to be aware of prevailing winds, or create your own. Being downwind of the opponent in any sort of breeze should at least count as enough concealment to allow a stealth check, while something as simple as wind wall should block scent from passing either direction across it, as it specifically says that gases cannot pass through. Alchemists should also be able to whip up something to overload the sense of smell as well, like oil of peppermint, essentially "deafening" the ability for some period of time.
Do you think folks were waiting nine years for that advice?

Imagine how relieved they must be, nine years later. <g>

I used this pull ring of scent since it’s an animal archive item I got gm approval first. Add mindblank for added fun.
