[Q] Phone Stuck in Odin Mode - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just used Odin3 v 1.85 and CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 to try and root my device but its stuck at the booting screen with " RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty BIt : Recovert"

Try flashing cwm by chenglu or philz. Both will give you root access as well. Either way you seem don't mind flagging knox to 0x1. Is your phone international n9005 and network unlocked?

I'm new to the rooting world

Yeah so I don't mind tripping knox, but I'm not sure how to do either of types steps.
Also, my device it's an international unlocked phone

Just the same as you did using cf auto root but you'll need this instead.

Choose the one either jb or kk.
Did you turn off reactivation lock before trying to root?
Afraid that's the one causing your phone to hangup at the screen. Remove battery and turn on your phone if it can boot normally in OS

Ok, so my reactivation lock is off. I re-downloaded the CF-Auto-Root and I got my phone to work.
Now, with the CWM Based recovery, do I place into the PDA slot in Odin? Or is it not necessary anymore?
On root checker, it hangs and doesn't give me a definite answer
So I'm pretty sure my phone isn't rooted, but for now, its working fine.

So you flash again cf auto root successfully?. If yes your phone should be rooted now so you dont need cwm anymore except you want to flash custom rom or mods.
Can't remember when i flash cf last time whether there is superSU in the app drawer or not. Can you see it in the phone?. Try install superSU from Playstore and update binary and rerun root checker.
Still if you want to flash cwm just put it in pda

I installed SuperSu and restarted my phone and that, opened up root checker and BAM, I'm rooted.
If I were to install CWM, would I need to rewrite my binary for SuperSU

If it is 4.3 download either the followings

[Q] Flashing Clockwokmod on S4 I9505 won't work, any idea why not?

Hi,
I've tried several times flashing Clockworkmod 6.0.3.3 and other versions of Clockworkmod for S4 I9505, but after flashing it using Odin 1.85, Odin says ok, and reboot my phone, but after I turn the phone off, and try to start phone into recovery mode using power, volume up and home button at the same time, my phone doesn't find anything to use, so it starts in regular recovery mode (Default as from Samsung).
Anyone have an idea why Clockworkmod won't work on the phone, even when Odin says ok on flashing?
I've made sure that I downloaded the correct file for my phone.
My phone is a euro version, that shouldn't matter?

Download the attached link. You find a folder of s4 root. Odin 1.85 and Cwm file and a rooting file(only if you need root)
An odin 1.85 specialy for gti 9505. Big thanks to chainfire.
Turn your phone in downloadmode. Connect your Phone to your pc. Open odin and select pda and select the file i9505-cwm-recovery -6.0.3.2-4
Start.
After the phone is rebooting, turn your phone off.
Then volume up,home button and powerbutton at the same time. When you see on top a blue text" recovery booting" let go of the 3 buttons and it boots in cwm. This should do the trick.

Thanks for trying to help me out, but still I got no luck with this,
After the flashing, when I try to go into recovery mode I can see that the phone tries to install or update something, but a sec after I get some sort of fail message and I'm back to default recovery mode.
I can't understand what seems to be the problem.
Could it be that my phone might be locked to a carrier?

after that turn off your phone . phone in downloadmode, open odin, select pda, select cwm 6.0.3.2-4, hit start
Your phone is rooted with cwm.
What rubbish!
You DO NOT need to root your phone to install a custom recovery. Are you sure you have i9505??
Download the latest Philz CWM recovery in .tar format and flash this in Odin 1.85.
I've done this on 6 different S4s and NEVER had an issue.
Seems strange that your having problems dude.

Try another USB cable or/and another USB port ...

in some stock firmwares, when you boot the phone, the stock recovery is re-writing over the flashed custom one:
root your phone, and with a root explorer go to system, delete "recovery-from-boot.p" or rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
then go to system/etc, delete this file: "install-recovery.sh" or rename it to "install-recovery.sh.bak.
now you can flash your custom recovery.

I'm using an Samsung retail cable from the S2, but I did try with the S4 retail cable aswell, but still no luck. The flashing goes ok in Odin, so I doubt the cable is the problem. And Kies isn't running in the background at all. Even changed USB port just to be sure testing all the options.

Ok, so I might have to root my phone and try this out then.. I was hoping to avoid rooting for now.
And the way to root is done using Odin as described in an earlier post?
Will it be possible to reset the counter later on if I need to go back to stock ROM if the phone should need to sendt to service etc? I know it is possible to reset the counter on S3.

if you want to be sure, flash custom recovery, do not check "auto-reboot" or when it says "pass" unplug and take off the battery, then reinsert it, boot straight to recovery so you should see the custom recovery. but once you reboot the phone the stock recovery will be back .
any way, you can root in any method you want.
why you want to flash custom recovery without rooting??
once you flashed anything unofficial with odin, the counter is triggered.
yes you can reset it with triangle away.

Ok I tried to flash the clockworkmod without checking the auto-reboot and it worked like you said.
The reason I don't want to root the phone is, because I actually don't need it, never had any use of it on other phones.
Ok then I have to root it like you said to make i work properly.

hmmm, so why you need cwm?
EDIT: usually these 2 files (that reflash stock recovery) come with some OTA update. So if you dont want to root, you can flash a stock firmware with odin (those 2 files are not included) in order to flash custom recovery without rooting.
any way, when you flashed custom recovery, your binary counter is triggered. so you need triangle away to reset it for warranty ====> you need root access!

Softbrick Cf auto root help

I have decided to try and root my galaxy s using the Cf auto-root method and my phone is now soft bricked. I am stuck in the "Recovery booting" screen. The only thing I can do is stay here and turn off the phone and enter download mode. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

This may be a dumb question, but you are using Odin, correct? And what version? On a Mac or PC?

Hi! yes i am using Odin 3.10.6 and a PC Windows 7
I'm not familiar with other versions of the s5, are you 8s9ng the correct recovery file? Which slot are you putting it in?it should go into AP, if I remember correctly.
Hi! Far as i know i use The correct file, do you maybe have a Link to one?
Yeah i check The AP then use The file i downloaded then click start, The flashing process passes but still stock recovery...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I ran into the same problem, flashed TWRP 3 times and KNOX remained 0x0 and recovery remained stock
Ended up having to use CF Auto Root to gain root, then use TWRP Manager to flash TWRP

Yea flash CF Auto Root via ODIN, then install that TWRP app and the app itself will flash TWRP for you
I was running stock BOB7 when I tried to flash TWRP

phone was loki`ed from begining and never took at&t updates. in odin 3.09 phone shows as a com..
is there anything i can do to bring this phone back to life??
If the bootloader isn't locked, flash a stock rom from sammobile.com.

thanks for your response... holding the up-volume and power only results with the same "not authorized" screen.. also adb does not list it as a device but odin does add it..
Download mode is power and volume down.

Just flash the stock rom in Odin and perform a factory wipe before booting the stock rom for the first time.

well that worked brilliantly. what should i use to get twrp and root back?
You can use Odin to flash twrp and root with an unlocked bootloader.
Twrp: https://dl.twrp.me/jflteatt/
Flash SuperSU from twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

Towel root works with the MDL bootloader for rooting. Can't tell you how to get TWRP, I use CWM on my at&t S4.

i just used the CASUAL app i linked earlier.. it worked to get root and installed twrp..
now i'm looking for a decent rom to install.. all the ones i used to use aren't supported any longer..
I hear Thor ROM and Golden eye ROM are nice and fast TW roms. For non touch wiz there is probably an CM or AOSP rom out there somewhere.
