[Q] Attempting to root N9006, stuck on recovery bootloop

Hey fellas,
This is my 1st time trying to root a phone, please forgive my total ignorance
I am having an impossible time rooting my galaxy note 3
SM-N9006 (Chinese)
Android ver: 4.4.2
baseband: N9006ZCUEND1
I tried several methods, mainly ODIN with " n9006-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.7(0922)-fix-adb"
the problem is that every time I have to reboot the phone in recovery mode, I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)
Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)
and it bootloops till that. ( root de la vega, kingo, ODIN, etc... same problem, grrrr!)
I am guessing that's because I am using the wrong firmware to flash my phone
I just want to install Google play store ( Chinese note 3 blocked it, some bull****!!!!) and customize my phone
any suggestion?
luv u guys, keep up the good work

EDIT : It's works ! Just use the SM-N9505 CF-Root :
http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
I have the same problem. Impossible to root my Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9006). If I try to root my phone with Odin, I have bootloops.
In the download mode I have :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N9006
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
WDC START

Rebooted to download( Power,Volume Down and Home then volume up)
Flashed custom recovery via odin
Rebooted phone
Now rooted with custom recovery and all worked fine.
Copied custom ROM to SD card
Rebooted to custom recovery
Flashed Custom ROM and all working fine.

Have I bricked my Note 4?

Hi guys. I'm having some problems with my Note 4. I previously have rooted the phone, but tried to use SuperSU to unroot it. I was getting errors loading some apps telling me that phone was still rooted so I attempted to do a factory reset on the phone. Somewhere along the road I appear to have messed up the firmware.
Basically, when powered on my phone states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." If I open the recovery menu on my phone (power+home+vol. down) it says
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910F
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
I have tried using Kies (both versions) which say that my phone is not recognised in the emergency firmware recovery options, and the firmware upgrade option fails.
I have also tried using Odin using firmware N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FO2U1COJ1_O2U and N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FO2U1BOC1_O2U.
I am totally stuck for ideas. Is my phone bricked?
Unfortunately I can't upload screen shots due to my account status.

Do you use Stock Kernel or custom Kernel?

I'm not sure. I assume stock.

Judging for your answer I assume that you are kinda "new" to this ROOT & flashing ROM stuff?
Am I correct?
If you are "new" to this stuff....I suggest you read & re-read everything before "plunging deep into the abyss"
Now the answer,
ROOT & Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop Kernel is a NO GO!
By updating your KitKat 4.4.4/Lollipop 5.0.1 into Lollipop 5.1.1 (BTW COJ stock update IS Lollipop 5.1.1) will remove your ROOT access.
Re-ROOTing it will cause a bootloop....IF you didn't change your kernel into a "Permissive" one.
Try flashing a custom permissive kernel if you are going to keep ROOTed.
It'll fix your problem.

Download ODIN, then go to samfirmware and download some software for your phone. Use Odin to flash whatever firmware back onto your phone and start again.

strange behaviour of Galaxy Note 4

I bought a Note 4 with Android 6.0.1. I do not know if the phone is rooted. The seller told me that it has a problem: sometimes when you turn on the phone it starts normally, everything works, it charges normally, but sometimes it starts with a black screen with the Android robot and a message like ”could not do normal reboot” and sometimes does not start at all. I have to take off the battery, wait few minutes, put the battery back, wait 5-10 minutes and then the phone opens normally again. It is a little strange.
I want to install clean Android 4.4.4 without any rooting or custom ROM. Just the original Android 4.4.4. I found the file on samsung-updates.com, but I am a little afraid of doing just a simple resoft with Odin, because I do not know what will happen next. What do you suggest?
Thank you for any help!

You can flash the 4.4.4 ROM without root via Odin all fine, but as you are on MM already, you will be needing to be a full wipe, and stock recovery can't do full wipe, it can wipe fine, but not everything, so for that you need to flash TWRP recovery. Then in TWRP's advanced wipe section select everything and do the wipe. Turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash the desired 4.4.4 ROM. Don't know why you are hesitant to root anyway!

So it will be no risk, even if the phone is rooted now?
And when that robot appears, the following text is displayed:
Could not do normal boot.

How can I repair the phone?

Needing help - Stuck in Odin

Hi all,
Please bear with me, I'm in way over my head here and don't understand most of what I've done. I was experimenting when I probably shouldn't have been.
So, I installed DarkLord's Note 7 kernel and rom. I found it to be quite buggy and am now wanting to wipe my phone and install Phronesis-N9005-N7-v6.0.
Problem is, when trying to boot into TWRP, I'm met with the the following:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-N9005
Current binary: Custom
System status: Official
Reactivation lock(kk): Off
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: Enable (csb)
Rp swrev: S2, T2, R2, A3, P3
Write protection: Enable
UDC start
Downloading...
Do not turn off target
I've had it on for hours and it didn't do anything.
I managed to reboot it and it ran as it did before, in Darklords rom.
I read I have to install the official firmware and install it via Odin but I can't find anything about my device. On the back of it, it says:
SM N9005
FCC ID - A3LSMN9005
SNN - N9005GSMH
When I enter it into sammobile, nothing comes up.
Have I got this wrong? Should I be looking for something else?

You are booting to download mode not recovery .
Boot to recovery TWRP
#N9005 model firmware are on sammobile etc.

Booting into recovery via TWRP manager just results in the same Odin screen for me
As for the firmware - I'm not really sure which region I should pick out of those. I just thought this was an international model, but then I downloaded an app called Phone INFO and it tells me it's Vietnam. Could this be because of the rom already on there? It does also say it's a Note 7, so I'm assuming it's incorrect.

TWRP manager
DO NOT USE just boot to recovery via the vol up home and power buttons as normal .
Copy Phronesis to ext sd card and flash as per instructions .
You have N9005 Pick your area /network where you are .
Phone Info can only go by what's on your phone and you flashed DarkLord's Note 7 firmware .

Booting via manager was a last resort. I was trying the usual way and it also resulting in the same thing.

Boot to download/ Odin mode flash stock rom .

Thanks JJEgan, I figured out how to use Odin3 and Odin mode, then install Phronesis. All is good now

re-animate a Galaxy GT-I9505

Hallo,
I got a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) from a friend of mine. He did'nt know, what happens. The phone became very hot, made vibration-Noise and was not able to start it anymor.
I also tried to start the phone, but it got a boot-Loop.
So I thought to reflash the phone.
I am able to start the Download-Menü (Vol - + Power + HOME). The Recovery-Menü did not start finally. It hang.
So first I wanted to put an original Samsung-ROM to the Phone. But where can I get the right one?
On the sticker in under the accu is written:
Model: GT-I9505SSN: -I9505GSMH
When I start the Download-Modus and connect it with ODIN, I can read the following:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0KNOX WARRANTY LOCK: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enable
I searched this forum and the net, but I did'nt get a Firmware-Image, the I was able to flash finally with ODIN to the phone.
I start ODIN with ADMIN-Rights and the KIES-App is deletet from the processes. The Samsung-USB-drivers are installed and the phone was found in ODIN.
Could anybody of You give me a way-sign where I have to read the solution of the problem? Or could anybody of you explain the process of flashing?
THanks a lot for your help.
with best regards

Sammobile.com for the firmware. Unzip the firmware, select "AP" in Odin, and point to the extracted tar.gz image. Odin should then flash the image.
