gonna take 3 hours to download a 1gig file..fml

They usually go faster than they say. Good luck!

http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyS4/SCH-R970/R970VXUAMDL_R970USCAMDL_USC.zip i downloaded that one, is that ok

Do you know if you're on mdl firmware if you are it'll work. If you were on mf5 it won't work, but it also won't hurt anything. The file is a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. That's the file you'll use in Odin.

Have you taken any ota updates? Where you flashing any custom roms and have a custom recovery on your phone? As I said, mdl won't hurt it just won't work. I'd try that first as mf5 has additional security which makes it more difficult to flash custom roms.

yeah i flashed a few custom roms, i tried changing the build.prop earlier this AM to help fix the no sim notificiation then it wouldnt allow me to make calls saying i must first dial the 10 digit number etc...so i edited build.prop and ****ed up my calling. so now i gotta start from stock, re flash and everything else

When you get it back up and running make a nandroid backup in your custom recovery. That way if you f up you can easily restore it and not go back thru flashing back to stock.

[Q] How to root after the latest update ?

Hi all,
I've just updated my Note3 SM-N9005 via kies to Build number N9005XXUDMK2 and now I can't flash root, It fails every time...
My version is N9005XXUDMJ7 and my build number is N9005XXUDMK2.
I don't know if it has something to do with it, but when I enter download node I see a gray line saying: "Write protection: Enabled".
Can anyone please tell me how can I gain root access again ?
I'm tring to flash this file: "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5" with "Odin3 v3.09.exe"
which I found in this site: http://true-android.blogspot.co.il/2013/12/root-n9005xxudmk2-galaxy-note-3-sm.html

Can you paste the Odin log after it fails?
Also you may have the new updated CF Root which has been adapted for KitKat and doesn't work with 4.3 anymore.
Here is the log from odin

Gave the same error using the original file you used from the first time? -- It is possible it doesn't like MK2, however it should work because I used it fine when I was on it.. Try re-downloading it again and trying again (I don't have it anymore, only the KK version )
Here is the log of the first file

PLEASE...Can you please help me to re-root my phone.
(And if you can, please send me a link to download root for the KitKat version so that I can re-root it when the update will rollout in my country.)
Just to double check -- you are flashing it via the PDA option correct? and you have unrar'd it so you can see the tar.md5 file ?
yes

Yes I am.
But in odin 3.9 there is AP and not PDA.
But I tried both in both odin versions: 3.7 and 3.9.
In odin 3.7 I am using PDA, and in odin 3.9 I am using AP.
Hmm I am stumped I'm afraid. Usually re-flashing it normally works. See if anyone else will chime in and know the answer.

Do you think doing "Wipe cache partition" can fix it ? I don't realy knkow what it means...
Can you please send me a download link for rooting after updating to KitKat ? So I could use it when the update rolls out in my country

When it rolls out it may be a different version of KK than is currently compatible with CR Root. Better waiting til it comes out then seeing what is available.
**[Side Note... If you want KK now you can flash the Official XEO version depending on your Model (IF Hong Kong then it won't work) - and you can root on that without issue after flashing, but you cannot go bac to 4.3 again]**
hmmm

I prefer to wait till an official KK will roll out and update via kies.
Can you please tell me if I do "Wipe cache partition" will fix the root failure probloem ?
I don't realy know what this wipe does...

Well, first of all, your bootloader has been upgraded to Kitkat's.
So you can't flash a JB ROM.
Keep trying different Kitkat ROMs.
Try the leaked one.
And if you are willing to trip knox, you can use a custom ROM.
Got it working! What I did was
Download the Firmware you require, in my case for the UK Vodafone Version for the SM-N9005 4.4.2 I used this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25990
I then downloaded Odin 3.07 as 3.09 wouldnt work for me!
http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
Now this alone wouldnt work for me then I found a similar thread that provided some info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662373
On this thread they link to a .pit file to flash with the stock ROM, I used this along with the Firmware I downloaded earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50614669&postcount=77
So now it would work and I am succesfully on 4.4.2, now once its all running and I got the the Samsung Logo I took the battery out, booted in recovery mode, cleared the cache and the performed a factory reset... Once the phone resarted I went through the normal process of setting it up and viola...
Ill add that although it says it was UK Vodafone mine was spanish? I dont know wether that was because of the .pit file? Ill let the experts decide on that one..
Simple thing though, change the language and remove the vodafone app that came with it in spanish...
Hope its of some help to people.

You can't install Philz on the Verizon S5 because the boot loader is locked. You can root OA8 using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3020546 just make sure to go back to NK2 first then follow the old NCG root method.
Thanks this for sure helped. I got it to pass and work, but how long should it take, because my phone has been stuck on the verizon screen for about 10 to 15 minutes. My odin window said it passed so it should work, but how long does this take?

I had that problem as well. I think you need to factory wipe from recovery (volume up+home+power on boot), but there might be a better way to fix the problem.
Hey man, thanks for all the help. I got it rooted, and I installed safestrap. Now I was wondering if I could install cm12 and lollipop on this device, you know of anyway?

No, you cannot install CM12 or any other AOSP ROMs. With a locked bootloader and safestrap you are limited to only installing touchwiz (TW) ROMs based on the same build you currently have on your phone. For you that means TW ROMs based on BOA8. Look in the Verizon Galaxy S5 Android Development section, I think there are only two right now.
Currently I'm running on NK2 so are there any that you recommend for that, or is there anyway I could upgrade to lollipop?

Same advice as I gave for the BOA8 ROMs, look in the development section for ROMs based on NK2, pick the one that has the most features you want or looks the best to you and try it out. For upgrading to lollipop, follow this guide:

[q] i337 bootloader i9505 rom

When I go to ODIN mode my PRODUCT NAME IS I337. However when i go to the about section in settings it says I9505. The phone is from China and I have rooted it I want to install a rom on this (5.0 prefferably maybe stock). Please help out also when I try to OTA update it says AT&T and no new update while its on 4.3.
Please help
If its running a custom or none stock ROM the about section will show wrong. I would remove the battery see what it says and Odin that firmware from sammobile. Sounds like you have a i337 running international variant of the rom. If it does say i337 don't do anything above MDL.

Whatever it says in download mode is probably true. Go to the system and install terminal emulator and type getprop ro.bootloader and reply with what it says (at least the last 3 characters)

I'd say just find and flash the NB1 ODIN tar file from the general section then. Either find the thread for it or check the [INDEX] thread.
The boot loop is a soft brick most of the time you'll need to Odin it to get it to boot. I'd try MDL if it boot loops still that means your on a newer version you'll need to flash the newer tar file.

Yes, it'll update the bootloader too but you can still root nb1 and you'll still need to use safestrap as your custom recovery so no harm will be done.

Bro, please help I managed to get the software etc. Now it turns off randomly sometimes

SM-G900T (Tmobile) tried rooting and now wont boot! HELP PLEASE!

I followed the guide here:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung-galaxy-s5-guide,review-2821-4.html
and used Odin and according to Odin3.07 everything should have gone right, but now my phone will not boot!
Please help.
I just wanted to root it to remove tmobile bloatware and now I don't have a phone.
I think the problem is that I recently updated to Tmobiles newest OTA update (maybe 5.11??) and I am guessing that this root does not work with it.
How can I get this sucker back up and running?
Please help!

I can get into download mode and recovery mode, I just don't know what to do.
Just download the latest stock firmware and flash using odin on download mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400
Make sure that you understand which version (you should flash the same one you were currently using ) you flash and follow the steps word for word.
EDIT: Keep the cable plugged into the computer until you have reached the boot animation. (just to be safe )
EDIT 2: you might get a boot loop so just format and clear cache. (you could probably get away with clearing the cache)
You the man!
I was downloading a firmware from SamMobile, but it was going to take 6 hours to get. Your link was only 30 minutes, and now my phone is back to its original state!
Sucks that I am not rooted (not sure if you can root 5.11) but I am sooooooooooo glad to have my phone back.
YES
Thanks!!

You can root 5.1.1. Though you have to have a patched kernel (G900W8). I usually just flash the recovery and move to different Roms.
