Can't root N900 (4.2.2 KitKat) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't seem to root my new galaxy note 3. I am using an international device with 4.4.2 KitKat. During the cache.img process Odin gives an error and softbricks my device. What am I doing wrong here?
(SM-N9000Q
Baseband: N9000QJVUDNB1)
Thanks
*Edit: Sorry about the typo, it's 4.4.2 not 4.2.2

What rooting method did you use?
Why nobody has time to state relevant info when asking for help

I don't know, maybe the same reason why people have attitude when they clearly offer no help at all.
Anyhow, I did not specify it because I did not know there were several methods. I used Odin and CF-Auto for n900 devices. Is there a more reliable way to root Kitkat devices?

I did exactly that with two different Odin versions. The installation got stuck at "cache.img" and failed both times. I used to have an SIII and I thought I knew my way around android and rooting, but apparently not. I'm completely lost here.

You could flash a custom recovery with Odin and then flash superSU.zip in that recovery, that would get you rooted too Link cwm recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079.

Better check the CWM site i gave you before you start flashing if the N900Q is supported, i don`t see that specific model listed in there as it is listed for Turkey only. I see support for the N900S,T,W but not Q!

S4 Updates, Flashing...

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out a few things with the S4 and read a lot of stuff but I have a few unanswered question.
I come from using NExus phones since Nexus 1. Unlock Phone, install CWM and then use it to flash roms or rooting scripts.
Now, I have S4. I am still with their STOCK on I337M (Canadian Model) and I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and ODIN.
What I don't understand, is:
- Can I flash CWM and then just use CWM and SuperSU-vx.xx.zip to root? Why Use Odin?
- Now that I am rooted, if I new SAMSUNG firmware comes along, I am assuming it will fail, I will have to unroot and then apply firmware and then root again? How do I unroot? "Full Unroot" from the option in the app just like the Nexus phones?
- S4 has a counter from what I read, but lot's of warning about bricking phone is that only active on Samsung stock? What if I flash a google stock?
- Can I just use Rom Manager Pro as I used to with Nexus devices...
if I flash CWM, is it replacing ODIN? Is odin a recovery like Odin! If anyone can point out and explain the difference between CWM , ODIN, Nexus phones and S4 it would be great...
I know that now when I go to download mode (Is that like fastboot?) it shows binary as being custom, but I don't get a yellow triangle when I boot...
Thanks for any info regarding explaining what ODIN is...
I also noticed although I have 16GB phone, 6.38GB is system! That is huge! Is that normal?
There are some nice features that I would not like to lose, so I stuck with samsung and just use NOVA home screen...
This is actually the "ATT Galaxy S4Active" forum. S4 forum will have answers to all your S4 questions.

I just went through the un root because I was only using it for one thing. I ended up flashing the original ROM using Odin then doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Now waiting for the update not sure I will root until S4 is not longer updated by Samsung.

Hi,
Look HERE
OTA will remove root,and the latest will lock down your bootloader.
Hi
I have AMG1... I think this is the latest one but I was able to root.. Will locking boot loader prevent rooting.. Could it be another one for at only?
Thanks
Note: yes. I did notice chainfires note.. But he doesn't say what load is the latest.. There are so many Samsung s4 models devices.. Each with different models its so confusing

please help! I made a dangerous mistake. I have a problem...

hi
I made a mistake when a I wanted root S3 with CF-Root kernel, and I flashed kernel of Note2
then display became Blue. and now it's touch doesn't work.
I flashed CF root of s3 and doesn't fixed.
even I tried Flashing original Rom
but it does not worked
and I lost my touchscreen
how can I fix that
I think kernel of note2 does not allow other kernels to flash correctly
(sorry ! I can't speak english good)

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
I m not sure about this...
Maybe you can try installing new kernel via adb...
Not sure if it will work though...
If the recovery is working than wipe everything there, system, data, preload, dalvik etc.. Then go into download mode and flash a official Samsung rom, some not branded 4.1.2, btu i think is the best, after that go into recovery again wipe data and cache, and than try to reboot. If that doesn't work try flashing only kernel via adb.

Every official ROM will work,just choose your model and ROM version you want.

I flashed a ROM
it doesn't work
If you can get it in DOWNLOAD mode. You should be able to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Then re-root, flash Custom ROM, etc.,etc.
That's the only way I have repaired other peoples botched updates and stuff. :good:
The Note 2 screen needs more power than SG3 screen, so the kernel you mistakenly flashed could have damaged the hardware itself.
Do as fbarcenas says. If it doesn't work, I think you're gonna have to replace the screen unit. Try everything else first, of course, and good luck !

How? You should flash via odin, not custom recovery. Can you get your phone into download mode? If yes flash stock official Samsung 4.1.2 rom.

I remember that something similar to what you did happened because of a mistake from the developer and Codeworx and others tried to help and solve the issue, but I didn't follow that story until the end, so cannot tell you if they succeeded.
Try to use some Rescue Roms the ones with the pit files. Tough problem mate sorry?

ive seen a similar issue...and im enclined to agree with regaber
u may want to consider getting a new screen...
If you have flashed a stock rom, that will have replaced all files, including the kernel, therefore if it's still not working something has caused hardware damage (the only option after flashing stock and wiping everything.
If you flash a touch recovery is your touchscreen working in that?

For the root, you will have to do it again. It's not a problem.
For Knox, make your own opinion

AFAIK, there are none. It is only that you have some Russian apps preinstalled on the system. You can remove them anyway.

Need help installing recovery

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install Philz on my Canadian Note 3 but I'm having problems. I used the instructions on this thread and everything went ok, however when I rebooted I got "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
So I tried using Odin3 v3.09 and "philz_touch_6.08.9-hltecan.tar.md5", it went ok. But when I reboot into recovery the same thing happen.
So I tried philz_touch_6.12.8 and Odin 1.85, but they all do the same. Also installed Kies for the canadian version to update the drivers and still the same.
Any ideas?
Fix is here. You need the right version for the version of Android that you are running.

Correct me if I am wrong, but due to the locked bootloader on the N900A, you cannot have TWRP. You only have Safestrap.

CWM for Note 3 sm-n9005 ?

Hi All
I have rooted my note 3 with odin successfully, I was looking to install CWM but couldn't find the exact TAR file for the n9005 on lollipop 5.0.
I installed ROM manager which suggests there inst currently a compatible CWM I can use, the only device showing is hlte?
Does anyone have a link if one exists..
Thanks in advance.

You cannot / don't have to unlock a Samsung bootloader on SM-N9005. You use ODIN to flash the recovery and you are set. I would suggest this one btw. https://idlekernel.com/twrp/v6.6.5_2016_01_03/
That is incorrect it will fail when attempted
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
It's absolutely correct and the way I did it! SM-N9005 is NO US Verizon crap phone, it's OPEN for ANY modification and just causes KNOX 0x1! IF it's no N9005, then you are absolutley right, there are some variants from ATT and Verizon which are locked and you have to verify that.
