I screwed up my phone

Galaxy Note 3 Verizon
My fault. I was following a youtube video on how to get free tether. I did it, rebooted my phone and now
I am stuck at the white Verizon screen. After I did this I found the process was for TMobile, not Verizon.
It's been 3 days now and I'm afraid to do anything. A few folks have said, all I need to do is reflash with
a Verizon stock rom. I know for most, this is probably simple but, I'm almost in tears over this because I don't
even understand that instruction. I'm pretty sure once I have the correct file, I can flash my phone. I just
don't know what the name of or where this file is?
I did download these files hltevzw_MJ7rootODEX.zip and hltevzw_MJ7rootDeOdex.zip but I'm afraid to move for fear it's not the right one.
Is there anyone out there that might want to help?
Thank you

First, thank you just for replying. I'm not sure of the terminology but, I can boot into the screens pressing Vol DN, Home and Power
I can also boot into the screens holding Vol UP, Home and Power,
I don't know what Safestrap is. Sorry.

You would have had to install safestrap in the first place... and seeing as how you don't know what that is, I'm guessing you didn't, :laugh:
That's OK, though, if you can get into download/ odin mode you *should* be able to odin a copy of MJ7 or MJE. Try the steps listed in the guide I posted and see if that works first.

Getting late or, early actually. I'm going to muster up the courage in the morning!
Can you tell me if these are the correct files? N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 <--- 2.2gb
not sure about these two? hltevzw_MJ7rootDeOdex.zip <---51mb hltevzw_MJ7rootODEX.zip <--- 1.4gb
I should place them on the root of my sd card and the find them in the downloader screen
and flash them one by one?
I'll check your reply in the morning, ok?

That tar.md5 file is what you need. Follow the instructions in section 1 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380 for restoring from a soft brick, and you'll be back to stock.

The file you need is N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_HOME.tar.md5. That is the Stock ROM that came with your phone and that is what you need to flash with Odin. You can download Odin 3.09 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539. Install Odin on your computer and launch the application. Boot the phone into download mode, connect your phone via your USB cable and make sure that the Com slot turns blue, it may take a second as windows might need to install the correct drivers. Click on the AP slot and browse to the TAR file you downloaded. After you load the file into the AP slot, press start. This will flash the stock firmware on to your phone, it will be just like the day you brought it home from the store. Everything will be wiped out and reinstalled. Don't be scared to do it though, it's probably the only way you will get things working correctly again. Hope it all works out for you!

I'm going to cry. It happens more often at my age. I was so distressed over this. A few folks offered help but I
felt awkward begging for a step by step like you gave me. My hands are shaking as I type this.
IT WORKED! You knew it would.
From my heart, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are special. God Bless.

Use kingo. Search for it on Google. Hook up to your pc with your USB cable. Make sure USB debugging is on. To enable USB debugging go into about phone in your settings and press build number seven times, it will open up developer options. You can enable it there. Kingo is simple, after your plugged in just press root. Theres nothing to it. Personally I would replace the superuser app that comes with kingo with the one from the play store. Open superuser and select settings, at the bottom select "switch superuser app". It will uninstall and you can install the trusted version from the play store. Enjoy.

I've used kingo multiple times on multiple devices. So have many other people here. It's a definite way to root your device and I haven't heard of one person actually having any issues. Honestly, no I'm not worried about anything.

Hello all:
I foolishly tried to root my note 3 and now all i have is the screen telling me that upgrade issues were encountered and to use software repair, and the little text on top says knox warranty void.
Is this the end of my phone or is there hope for me.
Thank you !

Yeah try to use the Verizon Repair assistant on your pc. Another one to try is Kies 3 which you can download to your pc and run.
Pull the battery and then put in back in and hold down power+home+volume down. Once in custom screen press volume up.
If you can do this your okay.
You can use Verizon Repair assistant, Kies 3 or the latest version of Odin and download the tar file for the version you were on.

You can hook your phone into your pc and run Odin. If you go to that thread up above it got the info and links for all you need.

What version were you on before trying to root?
Also what we're you using to root?

You stuff was awesome, however, it is not that the programs do not work, it is the fact that my pc, under no circumstances will recognize my phone when plugged into these programs, or even recognize it as a device after the drivers are in. The note literally has to be up and running for it to be recognized.
Thanks

From the looks of your photo your warranty is still good. You are stuck in download (odin) mode. The Knox warranty void line shows 0x0 witch is still good. When the line says 0x1 your warranty is toast. I have the identical screen when I enter download mode and my phone is bone stock. I haven't tried root yet because Verizon has allowed disabling and stopping most of the bloat apps. Also I do not want to trip Knox. Have you tried holding down the power button until it reboots? As for the note having to be fully powered up to be recognized is not so. When you enter download mode is when you connect your usb. I would try a different usb port or a standard usb 2.0 Motorola cable if you have one. Either way your warranty is not toast.

Your advice is truly appreciated, but i think my computer hates my note. I have tried every port, all the drivers are on the machine, and I still do not get recognized. When the phone was working, it had no problem getting recognized, now, all of a sudden....poof

Yea same screen most of us have or had. You need to install ODIN connect to PC and run ODIN it should tell you if it reads it when "ID:COM" shows "0:[COM4]" or any other number. If it does show "0:[COM4]" you are good flash a stock image of the version you were on before attempting root (MI9, MJ7, or MJE).

Below are the screens I get, I tried flashing the delavega root before, and of course got the error shown. I am now downloading the stock tar file, mje, and try to flash it with odin when done downloading.
Is odin showing the com box the correct way, or should it be another color and say something else?
Thanks.

You should move this to the Q & A section. Nobody is going to help you here because this section is reserved for actual development. Just trying to help keep you from getting flamed...

I had my phone stuck in TWRP twice last night from failed Rom flashing. This is my post in another thread on how I fixed it. Try this to see if it helps, I'm not responsible if you do any more damage

ADB Sideload. Respond if you need help with it. Macs are the easiest for ADB sideloading because they don't need drivers, I could help you with a PC too but it's more annoying.

The issue with Linux is there aren't any official Google ports for the files for ADB Sideloading. Do you have access to a PC or a Mac? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html these are the Android SDK files for Mac and Windows, I'm not quite sure if they have Linux support, but you could try. Also Wine, the program that allows you to run Windows apps on Linux or Mac will not work with this because of the way it works, so you need an actual Windows or Mac device. However, if it does support Linux I'm sure it wouldn't be any harder than it is on Windows or Mac. Also I tried using the LG Flash Tool method on various devices and it was more complicated and wouldn't work for me for whatever reason even after installing the drivers.

how would you sideload from a mac. mines stuck. in twrp i didnt even know the radio was updating. i guess my daughter pressed it. lol she was using quick memo to color. what files would i need? i tried to do all the other ways on my wifes windows pc but no go. the phone tries to update firmware when i plug it in and stays at 0.

I'll just say that the way I did it in my post worked for me twice while I was stuck in a TWRP boot loop from failed ROM flashing. Both times it worked with out a hitch to get my Sprint g2 running a tmobile rom back to stock Sprint.

No, it will either just error or complete but nothing will happen. Plenty have tried and come on xda complaining it does not work, only to find they had boot unlock allowed: no
However, this OT in development thread that needs deleting....double bad...

cool thanks for your reply, i might try it i seen soeware that someone had bootloader unlock NO but when they flashed a rom it worked so thats why i was asking you would i be able to retrive my device if it went pear shaped lol,

It's work
I have tryed on my xperia z1 on .757 firmware and work perfect , if no problems..

What you need to download:
EasyRootTool v3.zip
Towelroot apk
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip - save on phone's storage
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip
Here's what I did to root my Z1 (C6903) with .727 stock firmware
1. Follow this guide: click here
- download EasyRootTool v3.zip (v3) from the link and save it on your desktop PC
- extract the zip on your desktop (on your PC not on your phone)
- download towelroot apk from towelroot.com
- save tr.apk in the "files" folder of EasyRootTool v3 (the one you extracted previously)
- connect your phone (make sure usb debugging and unknown sources is turned on)
- click on "install.bat"
- connect your phone to your PC
- follow on screen instructions
2. Phone will reboot but will have no SuperSu yet. Do not reboot again (for now)!
4. Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip and save it on your phone's SD card (internal or external)
3. Download Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip and save it on your desktop PC
- extract Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip file on desktop
- run install.bat
- choose option #2
- connect phone
- you should have custom recovery now
3. If phone does not auto reboot to recovery, manually reboot to recovery
- turn off phone
- turn phone back on
- wait for sony logo then a pink notification led to light up
- press the up volume button to boot in Philz recovery
4. Once in recovery flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
5. Reboot system and you should be able to install xposed and other root apps!

[HOW-TO] [ROOT] Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P31XX using Linux

This guide will teach you how to root the Tab 2 7.0 P3110 and P3113 running Android version 4.1+ in Linux. I tested this with 4.1.2, but it should work on anything later and possibly ICS (This has not been tested in ICS, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.)
NOTICE: I am not responsible for what happens to your tablet! Make sure you use the correct files for your tablet model. This has been successfully tested on my P3113. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG COULD BRICK YOUR TAB!!! Proceed at your own risk!
Prerequisites: Admin account on Linux computer and tablet charged to 80% or higher
1. Download and install Heimdall and Heimdall Frontend from http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
2. Download 51-android.rules and 70-android.rules from Files to Root ***.zip at the bottom of this post. Make sure you use the correct file for your tablet model.
3. Copy the .rules files into /etc/udev/rules.d and set as executable. Reboot computer
4. Copy the ***.pit from Files to Root ***.zip at the bottom of this post to the directory of your choice. Again, make sure you use the correct file for your tablet model.
5. Download SuperSU zip and this TWRP file for P311X or this TWRP file for P3100 (click names for links.) This version of TWRP will be able to flash KitKat and Lollipop ROMs. Decompress the TWRP tar.md5 file to get a recovery.img file and copy the SuperSU zip to your tablet.
6. Enable USB Debugging on your tablet and reboot into download mode (power off then hold in power and volume down)
7. Open Heimdall Frontend (make sure you run as admin) and click utilities then detect device. It should say "Device Detected"
8. Go into the flash section. In pit section, select the previously downloaded p311x.pit file. DO NOT check repartition.
9. In partition files section, click "Add." Select RECOVERY from the dropdown and select the recovery.img that you decompressed from the tar.md5 file.
10. Double check everything to make sure it is correct. Check the "No Reboot" box and click "Start."
11. If everything went well, you should get to 100%. Wait 10 seconds and disconnect the tablet from the computer. Reboot into recovery by holding down power and volume up.
12. Select "Install" and navigate to the SuperSU zip file. Flash the file and then click "Wipe Cache/Dalvik." Once that is done, select "Back" and "Reboot System"
You have now rooted your Tab 2 P31XX! If you have any question or need screenshots for something, feel free to post in the thread.
If I missed anything, please let me know!

Thanks for this. Very well written guide and thought this would be a breeze ..... but .......
I am having an issue and not sure where to start looking. I have a GT-P3100 that I picked up in Thailand and am connecting from a Linux Debian box. Everything goes well until I try to add TWRP from Heimdall (Step 11). It starts through the process and then stops saying ERRORrotocol Intialisation failed. Heimdall is still connected, the device seems to be fine and I can reboot into my system with no issues but obviously can't go any farther since TWRP isn't there. I am using the TWRP that you suggested for the 3100 and have used the steps you suggested for that device.

Did you do the download pit part for the 3100? It might use a different pit file. Also, what version of heimdall and heimdall front-end are you using? Did you run the front-end as root in terminal like this:
Code:
cd path/to/heimdall (CLICK ENTER)
sudo heimdall-frontend (CLICK ENTER)
Also, if you made a 3100 pit file, could you pm me link to download so I can post it here so other people can use it?

I just remembered what was causing that problem for me. After you download pit in Heimdall, disconnect the tab, reboot it, restart Heimdall, and boot back into download mode. Connect the tab to your computer and click on detect device. Put the pit file you downloaded from the tab in the pit space in the flash tab. Add the recovery image and click flash. I forgot in my previous post that after clicking on download pit, you have to reboot back into download mode and restart Heimdall to make it work.
Have a good day,

That makes some sense. When I was trying this before I really didn't grok on what the point was. It actually makes more sense to me that I would need to reset the environment. Anyway, will try and test this out as soon as I can. Thank you for your help and I pm'd that pit file to you.

Sorry for the double post but I was a little giddy at the prospect of finally getting this done. Ran out of a dinner party to test this. Anyway, works a treat. Followed the additional notes to the letter and boom like that we are back and rooted. Many thanks!

No problem. I'm going to put the pit file you pm'd me in the OP and add you to the credits.
Edit: done! No one else will have the problem you were having since I have the pit file uploaded. Thanks again for it.

Bump

Bumping so more can see this thread

I can only guess that the reason why this thread has so few comments is because it works so well. It was a lifesaver for me. Thanks again.

TWRP links are dead any updates?

Man that was fast, impressive.
This device, on this build has been one of the most stable and useful mods I have ever done. I love this device and the root/etc. have worked so perfectly over the years that I often forget that it is rooted. This is the way it is supposed to be, but often (due to manufacturers, brands who monkey too much, carriers, or whoever) is not. I just want to thank again all who worked so hard on the galaxy tab 2.0 stuff.
