[Q] Rooting a Note 3 with failure - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im trying to root my note 3 (SM-N9005) but im having troubles.
ive got the right Chainfire files and im following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
But my phone doesnt seem to finish or start for that matter the rooting process, i just get stuck at the part when the phone should just boot into recovery mode and the screen just has the note 3 logo and up in the left corner it sais:
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
nothing else.
im posting here cause i dont have permission to post into the other thread.
anyone have ideas ? :cyclops:

Are you sure you have the right files ? For the n9005 ? (If that is your phone)
Are you on 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
this? yes i tried it but it still does not boot into recovery, doesnt even boot loop just gets stuck in the screen i mentioned earlier

Now if i boot into download mode this is my screen

Write protection: Enable ... is that something that can be a reason for this? :silly:

And what does Odin say ? If it says pass, you should do the "pull out battery and manually boot into recovery" and it should work. I still think you have the wrong file, maybe for 4.4.2 ? Maybe a bad download, try again.

Tell me, can I flash xnote rom with cf root?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Lol, 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?
You could, but you'll need a custom recovery. But more I won't tell you. Spoon feeding is bad. :banghead:
And the fact, that you didn't see the link for the 4.3 file, wich was posted in the same sentence as the 4.4 link, I think you should really do some reading.
Every rom has its installation instructions written in the thread.
Sent from my N9005

Yes sorry about that. I just need guidance I can't find a recovery via Cwm for instance and the x note thread doesn't seem to have an install guide , I just want a kit kat based rom for my note and the last time I flashed a recovery+rom it was a galaxy gio and that was done via sd card and 2 zip files hehe
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

See, that's why I hate this. How can you say it doesn't have a guide on how to install it, if it clearly does. My first custom rom, coming from 4.3 to 4.4 was xnote. And guess what, i flashed it with the help of the instructions posted on the site, and a bit of Google search too. Why do i even bother, I'm over and out. Maybe someone else will spoon feed you.

If you have Kitkat on the device (tried flashing) then you need the Kitkat TWRP - hence the BL - You cannot go back to 4.3 if you've attempted to flash KK

Yep, debugging and unknown sources ticked.

Why not flash a normal ROM?
By that I mean, a ROM which is not touched by any service provider.
People have been reporting Fails while flashing carrier roms through ODIN... It generally seems to fail on the "Hidden" partition....

didn't UK get official 4.4 ? I think it did. Unroot and update. And then look for rooting without tripping Knox.

Thanks guys for your noob support :good: So this isnt the route....
1. Download the rom zip file.
2. Copy the zip file to the root of your phone's internal SD
3. Disable reactivation lock under settings > security
4. Run Mobile Odin Pro. Allow SU access if prompted.
5. Mobile odin pro will ask you to update some stuff if it is run for the first time. Just update it and do not ask in the forum if it is safe.
6. There will also be a standard warning that it will trip knox. Knox will not be trip and just press OK. Do not ask in the forum if it is safe.
7. Load N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_HOME.tar.md5 in MOP
8. Enable EverRoot, Choose option "Download mode" in After flashing. Start flashing.
9. After booted into Download Mode, connect your phone to your computer and run Odin 3.09.
10. Load N9005XXUENA6_BL-Only.tar.md5 in the BL section
11. Check Phone Bootloader Update and F.Reset.time, uncheck Auto Reboot and Start Flashing.
12. When Odin says RESET!, switch off your phone and reboot normally.
13. Reflash CSC with odin or MOP to avoid any further issue with keyboard or auto restart
14. DONE
UK does now have official N9005XXUENB7_N9005OXAENB1_BTU but if the above is correct how do I get a BL-Only for my firmware version or is this not necessary?

[Q] Is my grand 2 bricked?

Hey, guys.
I was just installing Gennxt kitkat cusrom for my grand 2.
And, I was forgot that you need 4.4.2 stock rom to flash it and I was flashing
it on 4.3 stock. After installing, my phone reboots and when it's going to show the bootanimation,
it was just black screen with vibration then reboots again.
Is my Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7102 is bricked?
Please! I need to fix this problem!

Are you able to go to download mode? If yes, you can reflash 4.3 using odin after downloading it from sammobile or you can initialize firmware using kies. I would suggest you to try kies to be safe side.
Although i am not sure whether it's going to work or not. If you can explain your situation a bit better, some one will definitely help [emoji4]

Yep it is but u have already given him the solution !
Um anyway try Re flashing the custom rom and if it doesn't work then try flashing the stock Rom through odin
If not both then there is this post ! How to u n brick your SM-G710
Here is the LInk :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/how-to-unbrick-sm-g7102-t2824576
Here is how u do it with Odin :
First of all, on your computer download Odin.
Download the Android firmware package.
And install the Galaxy Grand 2 drivers on the computer – you can use Samsung KIES in that matter.
Unzip Odin and install the program on your computer.
Unzip the firmware file on the same folder as Odin.
Run Odin on your PC.
Turn off your device and enter download mode.
Connect your devices by plugging in the USB cord.
From Odin (if the added message is being displayed and if the ID:COM section is turned yellow or blue – else try to reinstall the drivers on your computer and then repeat the steps from above) select “PA” and pick the firmware file.
Don’t make any other changes on the program; select “start”.
The process will be over when the “pass” message will be displayed and when the ID:COM section will turn green – you can safely unplug the USB cord and reboot your phone.

I already doing that and flash back to 4.3 rom and it's still bricked.
So I decided to send my Galaxy Grand 2 to Samsung Service Center and they say the parts inside
my grand 2 is broken, So they replace the parts inside my grand 2 and replace it with new parts.
And all was fixed
(Sorry for my bad english, cuz I'm Indonesian and Samsung didn't notice that I already voided my guarranty by rooting it )
The problem was fixed.
Alright, so the problem fixed by replacing the parts inside of my Grand 2 and everything was back to normal. :victory:
Now it's time to update my Grand 2 to kitkat!
(Again, sorry for my bad english, cuz I'm Indonesian kid.)
No Problem, Blame Balliboxer and his ****ty Faulty CusROMS!

According to Samsung Technician Slip, the problem was the bootanimation logo was hang and the acc files were gone.
So, the technician replaces the PBA part with the new one and install stock rom 4.3 JB (The most updated one.)
But there was no signs of Kitkat update for my Grand 2, But everything was back to normal
All I can do now is blame the creator of the Gennxt Kitkat Cusrom (a.k.a. Balliboxer).
(P.S for Balliboxer, Please stop making ****ty ROM that cracked from the S5, Note 3 or, whatever! Just stop making ****ing CusROMS! It bricks!)
Don't Blame Devs
Don't blame the developers. It was you who chose to install the custom ROM and f***ed your device with your stupidity level over 9000! Kindly try to read the instructions and act accordingly. Better, avoid doing things you don't understand.

@balliboxer is doing great job and his gennxt rom is great. I used it.
Bricking your device is completely your fault as you have flashed gennxt rom made for 4.4.2 over 4.3 android.
I would suggest to make an apology and most important is to mind your language.
Frustration
Um this is probably the reason why i ask people not to root ! bcuz if u root ur mobile for sure someday u will brick it trying to do something !
And i dont think ur Grand 2 was broken .... i think he has tricked u for money ! Flashing through odin wud have solved the problem ! bcuz flashing a custom rom or bootlooping wudnt effect any part of the android !
OMG?
Man, that kid is really weird. Why that kid would like to install a cusrom from 4.3 jb? He was supposed to be flashing it from 4.4.2 kitkat.
What a n00b.
Oh and one question, Did somebody here knows how to root grand 2 from odin or recovery? (I think from recovery rooting is safer than
rooting it on odin.)
A custom recovery is needed to root.

Actually, a custom recovery is needed to flash supersu i.e to root your device (at least for the time being). Flashing a custom recovery via odin alone does not grant you elevated permissions of a super user.

When I was going to update it via OTA update, it says your software has been recent and no need to update.

iv) Aaaaaaaaaaaaand... multiple Lollipop roms found here and one for the i9505 which rendered the same result (that is - no result, other than having to go through the first time boot setup from Samsung, which happens with all of them)
I had some difficulty finding where the legitimate i337 XDA was, but I think I found the right place (here)
Thanks already, regardless of if we figure it out

Do I have to simply flash a custom recovery?
Well I bricked it since no one would help me. Come on community, I've have 4 year old phone communities that were more helpful. Currently my phone sits there with the big "GALAXY S4" and n the top left, really tiny in 3 different colours it says,

Recovery is no seandroid enforcing

It sounds like you'll have to use odin and flash the stock firmware and then start the process over again. You should be able to find the firmware at sammobile.com.
Then root using cf
Flash twrp recovery, after root get flashify from the play store and flash the twrp image file in it, http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltecan
Then you can flash roms.

I rooted My S4 last year using towel root. Then ,AT&T updated my phone to Baseband NI1,and I lost root. Since then ,every time an AT&T software update message comes in ,I try to let it update ,and it always fails. As of now I am still on 4.4.2 NI1 and no root. Is there any way to re gain root access?

Are you still having issues or were you able to flash a custom ROM of your choice?

Help How to fix Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing ?

I want to make a Factory reset in recovery mod,and show me this message in left corner,what can i do?
I have 5.0.1 and i tried to flash 4.3 back,i don't can odin ghive me fail..
Please help me.
I don't think you can downgrade from LP to 4.3.
What error are you getting in Odin?
That warning appears when you flash a custom recovery like CMW, TWRP or Philz. That's normal and just a little visual annoyance.
But if you didn't flash a custom recovery try flashing with Odin the last Kit Kat Stock firmware for your country, because a downgrade from Lollipop to Jellybean is pretty big in terms of what Samsung did on our phone.
