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...

I hope someone can help me please. I tried rooting and installing TWRP on my Sprint GS4 using galaxys4root.com method for firmware MF9 version. First I had trouble getting the drivers installed but apparently I finally did. Downloaded TWRP, Superuser andCF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.zip per the instructions. Connected to Odin in download mode and the phone "passed" Flashed TWRP and the phone rebooted. Disconnected the data cable shut phone down and attempted to reboot in download mode to install superuser and the CF-Auto_root file. Volume up,home button and powerkey. When the small blue type appeared at the top left of the screen I released all 3. Didn"t go into TWRP. I got the android guy on his side with "error" underneath him. Any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance.
You did it in the wrong order.
Run CF-Autoroot first.
This also installs SuperSU
D/L Root Checker Basic and GooManager from the playstore.
Install TWRP from the menu, "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
Reboot into recovery mode.
Most people prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2 as 2.6.0.0 seems to hang on the S4
You don't have to hold the home button. With the phone off hold volume up and the power button as soon as soon as the phone vibrates let go of the power button but continue to hold volume up as soon as you see the blue text let go of volume up. You have to be very quick hold the volume up too long after the blue text and our won't work. That should get you into recovery as long as it's installed correctly.

Triangle App - Problem Resolved...
Please forgive me for hijacking this thread...I am new to the site and not allowed to post to [2013.07.29][ROOT] TriangleAway v3.01 where this was originally discussed.
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4. I rooted and installed TriangleAway v3.01. When I executed the program, it told me that it had to run a modified bootloader. It did this and then came up with a screen that has the Android Beetle and "Downloading...Do not turn off target??"
It has been on this screen for almost an hour now and I am at a loss as to what to do. Can anyone who has run TriangleAway v3.01 on their Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 give me a hand?
More info...
In the top left corner of the screen it has:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SPH-L720
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
Well, I went ahead and held down the power button until the phone booted. It came back up with a message that said TriangleAway could not find the data it needed and to reboot using the vol. down button.
I did that and the phone rebooted as normal so at least I didn't brick my phone. I went back through the process and the app actually said to do exactly what I did...so I must have read too fast the first time around and missed it.
TIA
With the phone off hold volume up and the power button as soon as soon as the phone vibrates let go of the power button but continue to hold volume up as soon as you see the blue text let go of volume up.

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

Thank you for the suggestion but no idea how to do it with a phone stuck in the booting screen. Any help on how to get rid of it? Once that is done then I can proceed with your steps.
Take the battery out, put back in (dont turn back on)and hold volume up, home and power button. It'll take you into download mode.
Then flash your stock ROM via Odin

I tried that many times. It doesn't take me to the download mode but again to the screen I mentioned. Frustrating!..
It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.
help me!
I had the same issue, I did as you said, but now I am stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: recovery.
(it never shows the orange pirate rooting guy)
however, against all judgement I tried it with the sm9005 instead of the sm900t file and it passed into the orange pirate root guy, however it gets stuck at the boot logo, do you guys have any Idea what could be wrong?

I've got myself stuck a couple times... both times I booted into download mode and selected reboot phone... it worked both times. As stated in another reply, make sure you pull the battery then replace and make sure you are holding home/vol/power... and make sure you get the home/vol buttons before you press and hold power.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

Hey everyone,
Long time XDA forum user, first time poster. I can usually find what I need through searching, it seems people generally get into a soft brick scenario with this Verizon recovery blocker screen. I do now see that I did act a bit brash, and should have searched more about the knox counter before rooting and installing another rom.
Here are the steps that I performed to get into trouble:
Ran Vroot from my PC to obtain root
Installed SuperSU, updated bianaries in that app, uninstalled Chineses root apps
Tried to install CWM from Rom Manager, rebooted, got the Verizon security warning
Realized that recovery would not work, installed safestrap from APK
Installed hyperdrive in Rom slot 2, set to boot to that ROM slot
So I guess I made a few mistakes. I should never tried to install CWM, I should have somehow disabled/reset the knox counter?, and I should have installed Hyperdrive in the stock rom Slot?
I was hiking and using a GPS navigation app (in airplane mode). I look down and my phone is at this Verizon recovery blocker screen, "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless...". Now, I would be fine if I could get to odin/download mode, but no matter what key combination I use, it always brings me to that same stupid screen. I have tried volume down+home+power, volume up+home+power in combination with removing the battery for 10-15 seconds, and not being plugged in and I am out of ideas. I have not been able to boot to download mode whatever I try. If I can get there I should be able to take care of the issue. Any ideas? Is a usb jib my last hope?
Also
Also, I was still on 4.3. I had not taken the OTA update to 4.4. That is what was prompting me to get another ROM installed.
Any insight would be appreciated! Is a USB jig my only hope to force the phone into download/odin mode?

So Im going to start from the beginning. I have a Verizon Note 3 MJE, rooted with VROOT, cool now Im rooted.
Now i wanted a Custom Rom, So i downloaded Safestrap 3.64 and the Hyperdrive Rom. All good..
Go into the slots of Safestrap recovery create the partition, install HyperDrive and hit Reboot...
Phone reboots but the screen stays blank.. Go do my research and says wait 5-10 minutes after install for w.e reason..
20 minutes go by... go back into safestrap re do process... nothing again.. decided to go back to stock download all Safestraps and one by one start to install and uninstall trying to verify that i have installed the correct Safestrap for installing the Rom... (i know don't tell me Im an idiot but it made sense last night) nothing that i did work... so went back to stock JB 4.3 so now Im rooted as i began...
go into the Safestrap app and uninstall from recovery this one was Safestrap 3.71.. phone is working fine..
So I have no Safestrap im good... set my phone down to clean my car, the phone Wont turn on..
NOOOOOOOO, IDK for the life of me What happened... So i try every button possible, nothing! Recovery Nothing!!!
I plug it to charge it shows the pre charging battery then shuts and repeats...
figured let me try holding Down-Menu-Power while is doing that ... i get into Download mode, Not gonna lie i cried a little lol
Flashed the Stock Firmware 4.3 with the VZW note 3 32g PIT file... finishes ... Resets now Stuck on BOOTLOOP with the Custom Note 3 Splash screen and on top says Entering Recovery but never does... I Have Tried almost everything but hit it with a BAT!!! Can someone please help me...

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!!!
