Please elaborate what is blue, then red, then yellow.
Are they showing up all at the same time?
Is this what you have been experiencing? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642038

Take the battery out for a few seconds, then put back in, boot into Download mode clear cache etc, reboot. Fixed.
If no good, reflash stock ROM via Odin. Fixed.
As for the Recovery is not seandroid enforcing it's normal on a rooted/custom recovery device.
In future, I'd suggest you read before you mess around with your device if it's so important to you.

Just want to make sure you know how to go into download mode. Remove and put back battery, while phone is off, press power + vol down + home button all at the same time until something comes up on the screen. Let go of all buttons then press vol up. Is that what you are doing to get into download mode?

The only problem you have is your 4.4.2 ROM. Nothing will boot because you want to startup a 4.4.2 Rom/Recovery with a 4.3 Bootloader. Just go back in Download mode, connect with your PC and flash official 4.4.2 ROM with ticking the option "Update Bootloader". Everything should work after, but I don't recommend 4.4. You can't go back and you have much probs with current KitKat ROMs.

[Q] Kingo Root stuck in Odin Mode downloading screen on Note 3.

Hi Guys,
I think I messed up my Note 3, SM-N900W8. on 4.3 I thought I would give Kingo Root a try to root my phone. Everything seemed to go well until it got stuck in Odin Mode screen , " Downloading, Do not turn Target Off". Been on this screen now for more than 3 hours.
How do I get out of this screen. Not sure how to proceed from here. I hope I did not mess up my phone.
Info on screen: Current Binary- Samsung Official
System Status- Custom
Reactivation Lock- OFF
Knox Kernel Lock- 0x0
Knox Warranty Void- 0x0
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Man!!!

You don't need to go into download mode to use kingo. You just need to enable USB debugging and plug the phone into your computer

Either remove battery or press power button for few seconds until it turns off. If you use the latter, might restart back to system.
I have a suggestion though before you try rooting with kingo. Go to general section and find post by polish_pat. It's a guide where you can update to 4.4 and your knox ( unless it's tripped already ) won't trip even after flashing custom recovery/roms and root it.

Hey_Joe and Triavq,
Thank you guys for your response. I so wanted to remove my battery this afternoon already but was skeptical that powering down will damage my phone. After removing battery she booted up fine and as it turns out I have successfully rooted my phone. I went ahead and used Root Checker and it says successfully rooted. I don't know why it sat on that screen for so many hours.
I'm just very happy that my phone is still operational. Having a successful root is just an added bonus.
I have so much to learn with regards to rooting etc. It is really information over load.
Thank you once again!!!
Cheers!!!

Glad it worked out for you, enjoy☺

I have the same problem and I want to ask the only thing you did was to take out the battery ?Nothing else because I am terrified that I am going to loose everything

Removing the battery may be the only option. If you leave it in download mode, the battery may eventually lose power and the phone will turn off. If you have data on your phone and it will not boot, you may be able to recover the data by flashing TWRP, mounting the data partition in TWRP, and copying the files over to a computer via USB.

Same problem guys. IT said root successful then phone shut off and continued to restart until I took the battery out, then I pushed volumn down power and home button and instead of taking me to the recovery screen it took to the downloading custom os screen. Said downloading all night long. Took the battery out tried turning it on it continues to restart =[[[[ any suggestions on what I can do? I cannot unroot as I cannot access my phone via phone or usb cable bc the phone will not turn on

I pushed volumn down power and home button and instead of taking me to the recovery screen it took to the downloading custom os screen.
>>> Yes that what you have done entered download mode ..
Vol down is Download mode Vol Up is Recovery
Said downloading all night long.
>>>Yes until you flash a new firmware via Odin .
Read the instructions .
Suggest recovery mode and factory reset .

You have to put the oficial ROM in your phone,
Because if y don't do that, your phone will continue in infinite loop...

Note 3 stuck on recovery boot

Hi guys, I just recently attempted to root my Note 3 using CF-Auto-Root however after downloading and installing using my version (SM-N900T since I have tmo) it is stuck at a screen saying
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY
It seems that I cannot leave this boot screen to get into download mode and the device will not boot into android so I am at a loss of what to do. My computer does not see the device when I plug it in.

Use below file for rooting & once rooted successfully, switch off your phone & reboot in recovery.

Remove battery, wait 10 seconds replace battery and
hold down the volume down+power+home key at the
same time. Then the phone will go into download mode.

I have 4 sprint Note 3's I rooted with CWM for all 4 but one is "stuck" at recovery like this any time I turn it on it always tries to boot into recovery and gets stuck.
I can get into download mode. will cf auto root fix this? (trying to avoid a full odin restore)
the only thing different about this sprint note 3 that I am aware of is that its flashed to boost (if that matters it should not matter)
the other 3 went flawlessly. yes I tried to odin the cwm root a second time no change.

Thanks!!!
Thanks for the link. Just unboxed the note 3 (sprint) with version 4.3 and followed qbking77 and it was stuck on that same screen (tried it 3 times).
Your link saved me. :good::good::good:
I wonder why qbking's didn't work ... it always has in the past.

Why didn't you use the specific file for your device (Note 3 Sprint): http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip

thought I was...
Maybe I'm getting dumber, or maybe it's getting more confusing to root. Seems like there's a crap load of how to root this device pages and it takes a long time to figure out which one actually works. Then once I find it, I'm faced with dead links to the downloads.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks

Do you have access to a USB jig?

i know this thread is old....but sometimes i have to access download mode, and then chose cancel in order for it to boot. usually from recovery when i tap reboot system, it brings me back to recovery. so i have to pull the battery and button combo to download mode then cancel. does this issue have any familiarity?

Someone please help I have a Samsung note edge that I just reset through the menu settings backup and reset option and phone turned off but did not fully come back on its just sitting on black Samsung Screen and on top left corner it says recovery booting set warranty bit : recovery in blue and yellow letters and I am able to got into the download screen but I press volume down just to cancel and reboot and stars coming on but gose back to same black Samung screen. Like i said I did not try rooting it or any such thing.

Wrong forum this is not EDGE model .
Download mode and flash stock rom through Odin is generic advice .

"Recovery Booting" Bootloop fix
A few months ago, my rooted Galaxy Note 3 (sm-n900t) was force closing and freezing my apps often. So I decided to boot into recovery to clear device cache. The 'recovery booting' would appear on the screen with the logo, but after 7 seconds it would reboot normally instead of opening recovery(I had version 3.2.3.0). So I did reboot recovery with Rom Toolbox and it began bootlooping with the message:
Recovery Booting....
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
It wouldn't boot normally, in recovery or download mode.
STEPS TO FIX:
1.) Let phone Bootloop until completely dead
2.) On PC downloaded (2.8.7.0) twrp file for device from twrp.me/devices
3.) Press and hold volume down + home + power until phone reboots into download mode.
4.) Plug device into PC USB where drivers are loaded.
5.) Start Odin or Samsung Tool z3x flashing tab
6.) Load twrp in AP or PDA section and flash
7.) Phone should reboot normally!

[Q] Note 3 boot loop (can't get into download mode).

Hi guys i think ive screwed up here massively. I was running stock lollipop on my note 3 and i attempted to gain root using odin and cf auto root hlte hltexx smn9005. After Odin said PASS i unplugged it but i may have done it too soon (not sure). Now when i turn it on it appears to automatically attempt to boot in to recovery over and over. I've removed the battery and tried to boot in to recovery and download holding all the button combinations and it doesn't boot long enough to get into any mode. Any advice to fix or is it completely bricked?

To root you need to flash twrp. Then flash supersu.zip. Don't think cf auto root working with lollipop.
So now try to flash twrp 2.8.5. If your phone boots successfully into twrp, flash supersu2.4.6.zip which your can find it by google.
If your phone still doesn't boot, odin whole firmware.

Did you try pulling the battery? When using Odin the best (safest) way to do it is pull the battery (without the USB cable plugged in ) wait 10 secs or so then put it back in and hold down the DL mode keys. There seems to be a fundamental difference between a hot boot into DL and a physical restart via battery removal.

Happened to me the other day too. Just hold volume down + power + home and THEN plug in the battery. It worked like a charmo for me.

It worked
Wow battery out then insert worked!!! So stoked. You guys are awesome i thought the phone was gone so i went out and got a note 4 on my plan as i was out of contract lol. Oh well all good new phone and i can get the note 3 on ebay. Cheers guys!!!

S4 GT9500 Boot Loop

Hi Guys,
I tried to root my S4 GT9500 using the galaxy for root dot com site and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I cant even get into recovery mode. The phone just reboots continuously. I got stuck when trying to install the supersu app
and it just went downhill and the reboots started. When I try the home, power and vol up buttons keystrokes,
I cannot get into recovery mode. When I try download mode, it gets there but as soon as i hit the volume up, it reboots again
Can someone guide me to fix my mess please
I hope this has not been asked before.

If you can't enter in recovery mode then try to put it in download mode and flash a stock ROM. When you flash a new kernel to root your phone you must check if the kernel that you are flashing is compatible with the current android version, I mean, if you flash a kitkat kernel and you have a lollipop rom you will get bootloops for sure.

Download mode reboots also after 1 second also

Maybe the problem is your power button being stuck if it just shows galaxy logo and reboots every time.

I agree with this. Also you said that in download mode it reboots after one second.

Or it can also be ur battery, u should try a different one

Also you can try flashing twrp recovery from odin again. Some steps may make the recovery.img broken. If you reinstall it that may work. (I faced such a problem and I solve in that way)

so it does appear to be a stuck power button because if I press home and volume down, it still goes into download mod. Let me see how I can fix that now. Thanks all.
