bootloop
Hi all,
Unfortunately I ended in a bootloop. I was on 4.4.2 stock with root and knox 0x0. Followed the steps using Mobile Odin PRO (everroot unchecked, rom loaded without BL/CP) and the Aroma installer started. I checked "Rom Base" and "Wipe data" options...installation finished 100% and rebooted. Then the bootloop, I tried removing battery and power on again, same. I then wanted to go in recovery to wipe data again but it loops also when the text "Recovery Booting" is displayed. It can go only in Download Mode. I hope there is a method to not delete everything on internal SD because I've many whatsapp pics on it.
Before flashing with Mobile ODIN, I had the software update icon to install lollipop but I always postponed, could it have affected?
At this point could you please suggest what can I do?
UPDATE: Got it working again after installing BL and CP with Odin PC.
Tnx man
For a great rom
Hi,
sorry, not sure about this, so I'll ask before I brick my device:
I upgraded my rooted stock Android 4.4.2 with towelroot, Knox 0x0, now on 5.0 BNL2 since last week thanks to this ROM also with root and 0x0 with Odin Mobile Pro.
Now there are some fixes in 5.0.1 (my smartphone is working like a charm on BNL2 anyway), but if I got this right, Mobile Odin Pro does not yet work on 5.0...!? So, can I just flash BNL7 over BNL2 from PC without any issues? Do I have to wipe again? Will I have to update Modem/CSC/anything else again?

BNL7 is not 5.0.1, is just a newer 5.0 firmware, and in order to keep Knox 0x0, you need to downgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat (wipe needed) and then with Mobile Odin flash the newest version of this awesome DevBase...

Hi'
Damage but too bad. Anyway, the ROM works like a charm
I tried to flash the BLN9 with Mobile Odin Pro v4.20
But MOP tells me:
"This is not an OTA/Update Zip file!
Zip files containing partitions are
not supported. Do you want to
extract the Zip file instead?"
MD5 checksum is correct.

The Problem was SuperSU. May not be installed before flashing with MOP
go back to 4.42
_alexndr said:
IMPORTANT NOTE to KNOX 0x0 users (on Lollipop already):
DO NOT install the ROM using Mobile Odin Pro 4.20 - it doesn't work after updating to Lollipop anymore! More info HERE. At this moment, to keep KNOX 0x0, you have to downgrade to 4.4.2 first (wipe data needed), then root the phone (HERE), and then install BNL9 DevBase (wipe data needed again) using Mobile Odin Pro 4.20
Hopefully @Chainfire will update the MOP soon...

I have the BNL9 install and with knox 0x0
So if I need to install again your rom or your next one , I have to flash the G900FXXU1ANE2 first, with KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5 and CP_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5 and direct make the root before to install odin and the new room ? like this I wouldn't tuch knox..
Sorry for my question it's new for me, i used to flash by CWM my old Galaxy s2..
Thanks
No NJ1 or better NK7 then downgrade the kernel to NE2 and root, superSU, install MOP and flash BLN9 devbase. Already said at another place, on a french forum

Hi.
I have this:
Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8
Android: 4.4.2

KNOX: 0x0
And I want to update to this:
Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8
Android: 4.4.2
Base: N900W8UBUCNC1
KNOX: 0x0
I already downloaded the Firmware from SamMobile:
Model: SM-N900W8
Model name: GALAXY Note 3
Country: Mexico (Telcel)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 922105
Build date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 06:14:01 +0000
Product Code: TCE
PDA: N900W8UBUCNC1
CSC: N900W8TCECNC3
MODEM: N900W8UBUCNC3
And the only thing i need is to know how to Install this Firmware. I have some bugs with my actual Firmware:
1. The adjustment of brightness (i just can set in automatic or a specific brightness, but can't adjust the automatic level, more or less brightness).
2. Limit of data usage, I can't set a limit, is stuck in 100 GB WTF!
Will I lose "Root"?
And that's all folks!

No if you flash the stock rom with Mobile Odin (Pro) and you will keep root. Enable inject: Everroot, superUser and Mobile Odin and flash the firmware (need to flash custom recovery though). Yes if you flash with PC Odin, then flash recovery and reroot afterwards
Thanks!

I got TWRP installed, can I do it with it? If yes, how?
I don't have Mobile Odin (Pro) but, can i use PC Odin and flash the new firmware? I suppose that later I will have to install SuperSU with TWRP or with PC ODIN.

You can only flash .zip files with TWRP or CWM, tar/md5 files have to be flashed with (Mobile) Odin. I would strongly recommend using Mobile Odin, its a valuable app for Samsung phones that will benefit you for a long time. There are multiple tutorials on YouTube for how to use Odin and Mobile Odin.
Yeah!

1. Open PC Odin
2. Flash the rom with PC Odin and reboot
3. Place superSU.zip on the sdcard.
4. Go into download mode and flash the .tar file custom recovery with Odin PC but uncheck autoreboot
5. After the flash pull the battery and reinsert after 10 seconds and press volume up + menu + power and you`ll get into TWRP and flash the superSU.zip and you`re rooted and reboot.
Done!
Really thank you! I appreciate your help.

Thats right oeps (thought you had a N900), for the N900W8 follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522858. This will not trip KNOX unless you flash a custom recovery later. So it doesn`t matter how you root, if you flash a custom recovery your warranty is gone anyway.
What you think about it?

Hi!
I just installed the firmware by Odin 3.09 and it works! KNOX 0x0 but I still have the same issues
Thanks for your help!
Hey friends:
im a normal member and everything above is only sharing
So you may get upset because of this thread
but i'll make things clear, everytime i open Q&A forum i see repeated questions everywhere
so here ill put some repeated answers about those stuff above
1. knox: well when you buy a new galaxy s5 the knox state will be 0*0 , but when you root your phone, flash custom recovery,custom kernel or custom rom this will trip knox and the knox state will be 0*1 and your warrenty will be void.
P.S: flashing firmware via odin will not trip knox
- so if you want to root without tripping knox you can go to this website : http://www.towelroot.com install apk by pressing the sign.
you will be able to root your phone quick from the phone itself but only if your phone on firmware from 3rd june or less
or your phone will not be rooted, but you can also root it by chainfire method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
you can also use mobile odin to flash firmwares but be carefull to be sure about your phone model.
you can install the app from playstore or from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
P.S: firmwares can be downloaded from here : http://www.sammobile.com
i hope you Moderators understand me and dont get angry or close this thread because im only sharing and thought it will help my friends and the new forum members.
and at last im a member and i have the right to post what it usefull to xda community
hope that i helped.

to flash firmware you can use computer odin v3.09 and then extract the md5 file from the firmware zip and put it in AP in odin (and maybe different version of odin says PDA)

AFAIK it will be fake, the only way to officially convert it to original is, uninstall root reboot and then reinstall root and SuperSU to user directory, not to system. This method worked for Roms prior to 3rd June.

Yes you can downgrade, i downgraded from NG2 to NE2 myself without problems. Just flash the NE2 rom with Odin and data factory reset afterwards. Then use TR to root again.

Yes, i only flashed the older firmware without a extra PIT file or bootloader file. Make sure to untick Auto Reboot first in Odin, after the flash pull the battery, wait for 10-20 seconds, boot into recovery and do a data factory reset and then the phone should boot normal and both the firmware and bootloader are downgraded to NE2 and KNOX remains 0x0. At least it worked for me this way and i expect it to work for others the same way
Hello!
I got some questions regarding updating to lollipop.
Im running G900F stock android 4.4.2 with root (knox 0x0) right now (Build ANE2) and Im planning to upgrade using http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/official-lollipop-5-0-sm-g900f-t2962141 guide.
My questions are:
1. Do I need to unroot first?
2. Can I install "Poland" version if I dont live there? Will it affect anything?
3. If I update this way, will it affect my apps?
4. can I recieve OTA updates afterwards (when they come out)?

No you don't need to unroot
Yes you can install Poland version it is safe
If you flash through odin it won't wipe anything
Yes you will receive OTA but only from Poland, but you can when it will be avabivable again flash lolipop for your country

Thanks, it worked. Now I have only one question - how do I root Android 5.0 without tripping KNOX?

There's a method to do this, but you need to go back to KK Rooted... If you have the patience or the interest to do this... ask me for further steps.

Backup everything.
Flash just the firmware with ODIN. (Untick Auto reboot)
Boot in recovery.
Wipe Data/ Cache
Boot.
PD: If you want to upgrade later to a rooted version of L with knox 0x0, you need to make sure you downgrade to a 4.4 firmware supported by towelroot... (Like ANE2)...
REGARDS.

Could you tell me how? Including, how to downgrade...
Say i dont care bout knox. Will simply flashing a kitkat FW via odin give me back my kitkat bootloader?? @aguarello

First you need to downgrade to a 4.4.2 firmware supported by towelroot (Like ANE2)
In order to do this, you just need to flash the firmware through PC ODIN, no extra files. Just be sure to make a WIPE DATA/CACHE in recovery before booting after flash. (Disable auto-reboot option in ODIN)
Then root with towelroot (won't trip knox).
Then download the last version of MOBILE ODIN PRO.
When you're done with this, ask me for further steps I'll answer you in a sec, I just don't have time to write full instructions now sorry.
REGARDS.

Hello everybody
This is my first thread here in XDA
I've installed 5.0 Lollipop Beta in my N9005 and it works snappy and fast. I've used this build for 3 or 4 complete cycles of battery and it really works very well. Now i've decided to install TWRP an SuperSU to delete some bloatware and in download mode I can see a new number in my Knox 0x1 counter (see pictures attached).
Anybody can explain to me what does it mean? Really it doesn't matter so much to me cause I've tripped my Knox from day one but I didn't know about this kind of counter
Any thoughts?
(sorry for my english)
Nothing on hard or software. Because you flashed a custom recovery you got 0x1 knox. You no longer have warrenty on your device....

My friend I had 0x1 on JB and KK and now I have 0x1 (2) can you see the diference?
Have you flashed that Lollipop beta with odin and using pit?
I think this is all about new bootloader
I have a 3 there lol, still no warrenty left

I flashed maybe 25 roms total, had different boatloaders, flashed much baseband etc...

Ok I can confirm if you flash a 4 archives KK rom using Odin you "revert" to Knox 0x1
:laugh:
I got the 5.0 TW flashed with odin, used pit and updated bootloader.. I still have 0x1
New flash counter i guess someone alert @Chainfire
I think it's the old "Custom Binary Download" counter that first appeared in the Galaxy S2 (if I'm not wrong). Someone should try Triangle Away to reset that counter. However, 0x1 will still remain active .
Edit: This is what I'm talking about.

This counter only gets started when you try to root or install recovery with Lollipop bootloader.

I think this is not that kind of counter my friend. I've try to reset it with latest version of Triangle Away and it have broke my system. The only solution is to install and comebak to 4.4.2 again. Please don't try that until @Chainfire gets an answer.

Please answer this simple question:
In any moment did you installed Lollipop's bootloader?
Did you install the rom with .pit in Odin?

1.recovery = factory reset
2. Odin PC flash a matching 4.4.2 stock rom
3. recovery factory reset and you should be fine maybe pull battery before you do factory rest i did not my self.

I've already done it 2 times, without any problems
1. Find your Firmware and download
2. Flash via ODIN
3. Boot into Recovery -> Factory Reset
4. Reboot device
That's all
