Rooting Note 3 without USB connection and Towelroot - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) with a hardware problem in the USB connection to PC. That is, when I connect it to any PC (with Kies or without Kies), I always get the (USB unrecognized) message and no it is not a USB debugging mode or MTP+ADB or any settings problem. It is a hardware problem and it is not also the USB port or the flex cable. It is something with the motherboard itself. In other words, the phone is perfectly fine except for the data exchange using USB.
My problem is that I want to root my device, and I also have Android 4.4.2 Kernel version: 3.4.39-1955999 and the Baseband version: N900XXUENG1. So, Towelroot doesn't work with this version of Kernel.
Now I need to know if there is any other way to root my device WITHOUT USB; either with an app, Wifi, or SD card. Can you please help me?

Framaroot or Custom recovery
Use Framaroot Apk. Before that check on their website that your device is supported or not. If it is supported go for it. Otherwise download TWRP recovery Image file (*.img) for your device and install it using goo manager. After installation check if recovery has been installed or not. If it is successful than download Supersu.zip (google it) and flash it via recovery. You are done.

New to using custom roms, stuck

Hi, all. I am new to rooting/installing custom roms and I am stuck. I am installing Jasmin 2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760380) and have been following the directions but I am unable to get my laptop (a Macbook Air, I know, I know) to detect my phone in "Download Mode". Since I'm using a Mac, I tried using Heimdall and it still won't detect it. I'm kind of at a loss here. For reference, here are the steps from the thread. I am stuck going from Step 8 to 9. I don't know what to do because I've already installed Jasmin and if I try to just turn on the phone to get into the OS, it just sits at a black screen for a long time after the safestrap splash screen that says "Safestrap Disabled".
1. Root your device using TowelRoot & install SuperSu app
2. Install BusyBox Installer from Play Store
3. Open BusyBox Installer, grant root access & install BusyBox
4. Install the latest Safestrap for your firmware (JB/KK)
5. Boot into Safestrap & select Stock/JasmineROM Slot
6. Wipe data/system/cache/dalvik for clean flash
7. Flash the latest JasmineROM release
8. Reboot to Download Mode from Safestrap
9. If you're coming from JB, flash Firmware upgrading from JB via Odin
10. If you're coming from KK, flash Unified KK Firmware for RE via Odin
11. Reboot to system (be patient, the first boot may take a long time!)
12. If you're coming from JB, open Safestrap, uninstall & reinstall recovery
Any help would be great, thanks! Sorry if I need to give more information, as I am new to this.
I installed Parallels and Windows 8.1 and I tried using Odin and I still can't detect my phone. I do have the Samsung Kies installed so that is all I need for drivers, right? If anyone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it.
The only advice I can think of giving, is to install the samsung usb drivers instead of samsung kies. Also try different usb ports as well. Most likely it is an issue with parallels reading the hardware through the emulator.

Not sure how you're going about this, I'll just list the steps I've used.
1/ Flash standard firmware from Sammobile.com using phone's Download mode and Odin.
2/ After the reboot, put phone into Download mode again and flash TWRP Recovery, again with Odin.
3/ After reboot, put phone into Recovery mode, then Install UpdateSuperSU-vx.xx.zip (where x.xx is whatever version you have) from the extSD card.
4/ Reboot and check if SuperSU is in all apps screens, start it and let it update the binaries, then instal TWRP's apk from play store.
5/ Reboot.
Works a treat every time.
nothing happen........n now i'm unable to flash TWRP Recovery......help me out plz.......

finally custom rom for lg g3 d858hk

hey guys i found custom ROM for d858hk version which is here
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7892224-1-1.html
can be translated through Google but we need someone to explain to us in details.
I might able to help, I can read Chinese
let me know if you want any explanations.
it's based on lollipop 20d
- v1.0 LED not working, and this v2.0 fixed the problem
- rooted, superSU v2.46
- once you flashed the ROM, no need to flash the ROOT again
- busybox is in the system and no app not there
- works on D857 858 and 858HK
- it's a LIGHT version, there are functions that are deleted, like weather widget for example
- including deleted app inside the ROM, and could recover yourself
- app can write data to external SD card
- split view works for 3rd party app
- smart cover function removed, user can download the "deleted app" and put back into the system to get it working
deleted apps
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mg86X6o
HOW TO FLASH
FOR D858HK
1. ROOT
2. install TWRP 2.8.1.0
3 Reboot to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and upgrade it to 2.8.5.1
4. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP
D857 and D858
1. ROOT
2. download build.prop.zip, extract, using ES explorer to replace the one in "system" folder
3 flash D858HK 's TOT (http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7502599-1-1.html)
4.install TWRP 2.8.1.0
5. Reboot to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and upgrade it to 2.8.5.1
6. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP
Do "double wipe" after flashing the ROM, otherwise might have FC messages
Thanks alot i think this will help ...will try it now
but can we install twrp when in lollipop as i am now on lollipop
any ideas?
maybe these
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7677473-1-1.html
one click Recovery installation
need to be rooted
1. extract files to computer
2 connect phone
3 turn on usb debugging
4. run Recovery.bat
---------------------------------------
old temp way, didn't say if it works on L or only KK
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7727191-1-1.html
So...can any of you fluent Chinese speakers/readers help with the actual downloading of the ROM? It seems the rom is available at http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mg86X6o, but I get a little overloaded and can't figure out how to download from there. It seems to want me to log in, but I can't figure out if there's a non-login download ability lurking somewhere?
Do you have some screenshoots ?
Two things. First, I had the wrong link before. Correct one is: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjoKe4l. Second, I realized the reason is that the zip file is over 1GB and they force you to a "download butler". So the login thing is related to copying that file into your (QQ, for example) account and then you could download the file from there.
If anyone with a D858HK is interested, I was able to install this custom rom on my phone without any problems. I followed steps elsewhere to root (the one click version) and install TWRP. The rom is basically a slim version of the standard lollipop rom. If you end up deciding to install this, be aware that the Google Contact Sync app is not included within the rom and you'll need to also download the "deleted apps" zip file mentioned in the same post (link in OP). In the "deleted apps" zip, you'll want to grab the Gooogle Contact Sync apk and install that ... otherwise you can't get your contacts copied to the new rom. There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
FYI, here are the version details of the rom:
Android version: 5.0.1
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.3.0.c6.2-00011-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: (some chinese)1121561(more chinese)
Software version: D858HK20d-HKG-XX
So in total its not worth installing it? But anyway, thanks for your report!

I guess that depends on how easy it is to remove LG's bloatware and whether or not you need all/any of it. I personally didn't care for it anyway. But yeah, other than that, nothing special about the rom.
There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
i believe there's a thread somewhere in this forum (http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1508-type-10913.html) regarding d858 MIUI, could someone confirm? Thanks

My LG-D858HK phone hard bricked:
What happened/how I hard bricked the phone. I'd already rooted the phone with Marshmallow and then tried to flash phone TWRP by (mistakenly) using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd858hk when it hard bricked the phone. Now, the phone screen is black/blank and blue/red LED light flashing.
In addition, my PC doesn't recognise phone when plugged into USB port/s. Pop-up on PC screen says; “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows do not recognize it.” And in Device Manager, I see a ‘yellow triangle’ next to LGE Platform Android Composite USB Device Driver.
I tried different methods to go into download mode and I’m not sure if any worked. Because, obviously, I can’t see anything on the phone screen to carry out procedures to fix phone in download mode. Moreover, I’m not even sure if the phone goes into download mode apart from a sound made from PC and the pop-up straight after.
PC always recognised phone when plugged into USB port/s before it was hard bricked.

Please Help! Stuck on TWRP menu :(

Hey guys,
I hope someone can come to the rescue with this matter. I did an OTA update on my LG G2 (D803) and it booted to twrp option menu. I downloaded the stock firmware (which is a ".kdz" file) for the phone but can't find a way to install it on the phone since the PC is not connecting to it neither does it have external memory. I played around the options like restore, advanced but it seems empty. I can't even turn off the device with the power button. What can I do? Please help

OTA updates don't work when custom recoveries are installed. The device would be bricked. Sorry you found out the hard way. If you can boot into TWRP, you can download a ROM and Gapps. Buy the usb flash drive that has both USB point and Android 3.0 point. Copy the downloaded ROM unto it, slot into the charging port of the phone, boot into recovery. It should detect the usb flash, navigate to downloaded ROM and flash. This would work if you can boot into TWRP. Hope it works. Give feedback. Good luck

What about ADB or terminal command? I see it under the "Advanced" Menu in TWRP?
If you can do into download mode and allready have KDZ file just use flash tool 2014 to go back to stock (search here for "going back to stock:" post)
Also.. if you can send data over usb cable, try to use sideload to upload custom rom, or like stated before, use USB stick with OTG
You can also try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71044359&postcount=2
or this as a last case scenario: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404

I have moved the kdz file to a usb stick and attached a usb stick to an OTG. But where in TWRP do I go to read the usb stick and how can I complete the process? Also I did try the SRK tool from on the links you provided. The phone is not detecting the computer while plugging in the usb while the phone is on TWRP and the computer makes a noise when the usb is connected but srk tool is not reading the phone.
You can't flash kdz with twrp or other recovery! Download custom Rom and gapps or a debloated stock rom and flash it with twrp. The custom Roms are zip files. Do you have twrp installed?
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
Yes you CANNOT flash KDZ with TWRP you need FLASH TOOL 2014. Download flash tool 2014 (search it on xda) than, in your G2 go into download mode, connect your phone to pc with usb cable and than run flash tool to flash kdz

Galaxy J7 Sky Pro "SM-S737TL" Wal-Mart Family Mobile. GOT ROOT?

Im not New to rooting phones Iam new to rooting Samsung phones and Odin Software.
some specs of SM-S737TL:
Carrier: WMFM
OS: Android 7.0
Model #: SM-S737TL
Device Name: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro
CPU: Exynos Octa 7870
Architecture: 8x Arm cortex-A53 @ 1.59 GHz
Board: Universal7870
Ram: 2G but actually is 1.85G "but who's counting right!?"
Internal Storage: 16G
Security KNOX
few things about this phone:
-In developer options there is NO option for OEM UNLOCK "My first phone without that option"
-FRP LOCK is ENABLED
-In this phone's recovery the top line reads "samsung/j7popeltetfntmo/j7popeltetfntmo7.0/NRD90M/S737TLUDU1AQF2 user/release-keys" My issue here is "TMO" Im guessing that that means T-Mobile???
-I feel like the Internal Storage was Auto Encrypted without asking the user and without an option to encrypt internal storage. The only option for Encryption is individual file encryption. I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?
-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR
The Sky Pro is recognized by Odin with the Samsung USB Drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Cf Autoroot supersu files
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Odin Versions 1.3 to version 3.10.7 All in one
https://www.droid-developers.com/samsung-odin-downloader/
Odin Latest versions "3.12.10"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Questions:
1. Is the Samsung J7 Sky Pro just a Rebranded
Samsung galaxy Wide
Samsung Galaxy Prime
2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?
3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"
4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods
Model Versions of Sky Pro
Family Mobile SM-S737TL
Straight Talk SM-S727VL
Total Wireless S727VL4G LTE
Tracfone SM-J727V (cdma)
I'm waiting on that too I bought two on black Friday to send to relatives in Mexico and so far no root no unlocking, waiting on Odin or that other root software to get er done

this is op. Look for crom sevice on xda download install. I believed it oem unlucked my phone. Check it out guys. Get back to me let me know what you think. now if we have oem unlock we just need stock rom.
With this phone the way to root it would be Reset to factory then not letting the phone to load and run stock install WE HAVE TO AVOID ENCRYPTION WHICH THIS PHONE FORCES! SO WE FACTORY RESET AND GO IMMEDIETLY TO BOOTLOADER
Oh I should tell you I installed crom service but the phone didnt reset and apply update immedietly it was like 1 or 2 days later. I just left it installed figured if it didnt do anything right then it doesnt work. I Got distracted with a phone call and forgot to uninstall crom. Thats the story I want root for my phone

Well done, wasnt sure if i could say anything yet. pointed in the Crom direction on another thread. I need to read all the rules. I am new at this but love it.
@whitebeardedtrimmer
Thanks for reply your status

Ok. Before I even say anything, I have no idea what half of the things that are said on here means. All I want is to be able to use my phone as a mobile hotspot/tethering. But that setting is not on this phone. I have the j727vl. I downloaded a app that lets me access the setting but it's blank. Does that make sense? Anyways. I Googled ?how I could possible get my phone to let me do that, and i cane across rooting it. I've tries kingroot and one other thing (forgot what it's called ?) so please if someone can explain what to do (in a language I can understand) id be forever grateful. I just want to be able to watch Netflix again ??

You don't need an app to be able to use your phone as a hotspot
All you have to do is go to connections and then Mobile Hotspot and tethering

I cant. That is not even an option on this phone, or atleast not the one I have. I have read that the carrier may have that setting blocked.

I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?
-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR
The Sky Pro is recognized by Odin with the Samsung USB Drivers

Questions:
1. Is the Samsung J7 Sky Pro just a Rebranded
Samsung galaxy Wide
Samsung Galaxy Prime
2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?
3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"
4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

So this method works for this mobile?
my model is Samsung sm-s727vl
which is from StraightTalk
Does this also sim unlocks the phone?
I don't really want to try this without someone saying this method worked.
Anything so Far?
Anything so Far? I tried to root my phone but when following instructions but I can't flash anything. I tried going in control panel, update drivers etc. but no luck. Help me and if anyone has successfully rooted the SM-S737TL then let me know how you did it. Thanks in advance. Will the other versions work with SM-S737TL? (eg. SM-J727V OR SM-S737VL)
Root didn't work for sm-s737tl
I love this Walmart family mobile phone but would like to root it. I bought the same phone for my mom because it's a great phone for the price. I tried the root as outlined but the result was FAIL! ODIN found the phone and connected but the end result was Complete (Write) operation failed and the download screen said something about a security check failing.
I'm assuming I'm missing an OEM unlock but don't see it in developer options menu.
My baseband version is s737tlud1aqf2
I really want to root this phone!
Hlp I have no computer can I root it ?????
I have no computer but I'm working on borrowing one I really hope this works I've been waiting on this for a long time thank you in advance:fingers-crossed:
