qualcomm secure boot: enabled - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
I've searched on all the web, can't find any solution.
Here is my "story": I've S3 Neo from 3 months. Two days ago I decided to root it, and all went fine. Today, just for installing a new ROM I've tried to flash a custom recovery with Odin.
PROBLEM! qualcomm secure boot: enabled and ODIN can't write.. I've already disabled KNOX using SuperSU, but this hasn't solved my problem.
Thanks.

SOLVED. I write the solution, maybe it can be usefull for someone:
Don't use other miniUSB cables, just the one that comes with the Phone!
If it doesn't work, check the USB port!
Problem solved.
Thanks anyway.

I have the same problem with my s3 neo. How can i disable qualcomm secure boot?
Please help
Thanks

i have the same problem after i run a custom rom now phone not appear in odin

I have testet to repair bootloader with JTAG from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
but the Bootloader was unchanged!
Please help!
If the Odin flash is succesfull using the one part version, then you need to boot into recovery and select factory reset and/or wipe cache. That should probably fix it.
If not, be more specific. What firmware did you try to flash? Also what device do you have? Do you have the GT-I9505G or the GT-I9505?
Thanks for your Answer!
I tried to flash firmware 9505 German DBT with the last xxxMH5.
My Device is an GT-I9505G.
When i tried to boot in Recovery mode in the left corner is written "Recovery Boot" but then the screen turns black and
the device restart.
Flashing i tried both 4 Part and 1 part -> 4 part fails und 1 part is successfull but there is still the bootloop
Tanks for helping Lennyz!
Why do you flash I9505 roms on a I9505G? I'm don't know much about that device, but I thought the firmware can't be exchanged? Or am I wrong?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so, I would try to flash cwm.
If no one else that has more knowledge about this responds in you thread, my suggestion would be the following.
1. Try this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342377
if that fails
2. Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360346
But then again, I don't own the device, so it's on you.

[Q] Note3 not detected by computer or by Kies3. At same time charging is working fine

Hi All,
Hope all are doing well. My partner recently brought this Note3 (rooted) in resale and its working perfectly fine except for following two issues
1) When connected to computer its just charging only. No Mobile Drive found for data copying.
2) Kies is also not detecting this mobile (making it difficult for me to copy media files and other files).
To resolve this issue, I tried "Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed. Power off your phone. Power on the phone in Download mode. (Volume Down + Home + Power) Press Volume Up to continue. Once it's in Download mode, plug it into your computer. Windows should now discover it and load the driver. Once this is complete, unplug the phone from the computer, and pull the battery out of the phone to get out of Download mode. Replace the battery, and power on the phone like normal. It should connect to the computer properly" but no change.
Due to above two things, I am unable to copy data to and fro between computer and this mobile and I can't backup my mobile data to kies nor I can restore my data from old mobile device. I don't want to upgrade O.S on this device for now but I just need access to backup and restore my data and off course to copy data between phone and computer. This phone is rooted is there any commands I can run on it to make it work. Please help.
Any help resolving above issues will be highly appreciated.
Details of my Mobile is as below:

I saw a similar issue here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/problem-connecting-t2802339) and few other people got the same too.
If you mean when connected via USB your PC cannot recognize it or the phone is not appearing in my computer as media device. Then try uninstalling USB driver for the phone and reinstall it, try another USB port. If nothing help then it’s a fault with the USB cable itself. Try another cable, if not help try another again. Its most likely the cable fault.

Thanks MacSyn, I already tried all of this still same issue.
I have two note3 (9000 and 9005) mine is 9000 and my partners is 9005. Mine work fine from same computer with same cable attached. Its just the problem with my partners 9005 note3. I tried with four different usb 3 cables, two usb2 cables still same issue.
Is it happening because its rooted? How to resolve this issue or where can I find help to such issue? I didn't posted about my issue anywhere else except here. Because I trust (most of my friends do) XDA.
Please help.

Welcome, If you’ve tried different cables all nothing helped then definitely its the phone end issue. But its hard to say it’s a hardware issue or software end issue. This could be due to rooting or improper rooting. But did it working fine before rooting? However I’ve never heard such issues with rooted device.
Wait for any expert’s feedback or bring your phone to Samsung, they will fix it.

Thanks for your response MaxSync.
Do you think Samsung will still support this device as it rooted? I heard that they will not support or service devices which are rooted.
I don't know whether it worked prior to rooted or not, as I received this device rooted (its a resale piece).
If I have to install clean unrooted Original Samsung ROM with current given condition where my Device is not recognized by my PC. What are the options I have, like from where I will get original Samsung ROM and how to hook up this device. I never done rooting/unrooting before.

Yes rooting voids warranty. If it is still in warranty period (1yr) and if I were at your place, I would go to service center and tell them the issue and never inform them it is rooted. If they says its rooted and void warranty then I would innocently act like I don’t know anything about it and don’t know how it got rooted. Max time this works. If it’s a software end issue it will take them just few minutes to reinstall the rom.
What I will advice if this doesn’t fix over online then take it to service center and see what they says.
If its not recognized by PC then you cant reinstall by pc. You can get the latest stock firmware at http://www.sammobile.com and I think there would be way to save the rom file in memory card and install it from there. But I’m not sure. Google it.
Also 1st try to hard reset the phone from boot menu (not factory reset from settings). Turn off the phone and by holding 3 keys and wipeout all data and reset. (backup everything before doing this as it will clear all data). See if this solve the issue.
Thanks
Thanks Macsyn for you help again.
I tried hard reset on weekend & it didn't worked. I took this phone to service center and they screwed up the phone and given it back saying they don't support international model note 3 9005 as its not yet launched in India.
What are the chances that these note3 of mine is not unlocked one? I mean does Samsung support unlocked models? Can you tell me (or is it a way to find) is it a genuine note3 or unlock note3 or something else?

I actually didn't read all of the replies above so if somebody already solved your problem... sorry.
If you have Developer Options enabled, make sure that USB debugging is not checked.
Also, make sure that Verify Apps Via USB is not checked.

If you mean service provider unlocked, what I know clone/fake note 3s are never locked as no provider sales these. If it’s a locked phone by your provider then definitely it’s a genuine one. But also check for signs it’s a genuine one or not.

[Q] Can't Update to Lollipop

Hello,
I've done quite a lot of searches on my problem, tried a lot of things, but nothing worked, so this thread is my last destination.
I wanted to update to Lollipop, but this doesn't work on my phone because my Knox counter was set to 0x1 (I've rooted my phone once.) A few months ago, I unrooted via the SuperUser app, which went well, I guess. Now I'm trying to flash the new stock firmware onto my phone, but it won't work. It gets stuck at "Get PIT for mapping...". I've tried reinstalling the drivers, use a different cable, remove all other USB devices, tried other USB ports. I've disabled Kies and antivirus software. I've also tried to flash a new PIT file but this won't work because it gets stuck at getting the PIT for mapping. I don't know what to do. I hope someone can help me, I really want to update to Lollipop.
Thanks in advance.
It's mostly solved by a different cable/different usb port. Do you have acces to another pc? Try it on a different pc.

Why would you want to update to stock lollipop? Many people are unhappy and have bugs.

Odin doesn't recognize my s7 edge (trying CF auto root)

Hi, I've been reading the thread for CF auto root to give it a go. I've downloaded the drivers (I've got 1.5.51 now installed, haven't been able to find later ones), I've got the 2.74 SU version that helps to overcome a recent security policy update issue reverting root status and the CF auto root zip file (CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip) which has odin 3.10.6 included (not quite sure if I can use any recent odin version). I even got my stock firmware com sammobile and extract the proper boot.img from the AP* file (just in case I got something wrong at sometime). I've enabled the OEM unlock too on developer options. I understand I can give it a go without having to go with a custom recovery (still not sure and haven't got the whole picture about the dm-verity thingy and what effects has on the device but someone mentioned something like loosing the encryption or so). This is my first try on getting root on my s7 edge G935F (international version), so it shouldn't have any boot.img problem (but trying to be prepare since I can't go about without my phone being working).
So, I've got my phone into download mode, started odin, loaded on AP the tar.md5 file from the CD auto root zip file (CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.tar.md5), connect the device throuhg usb cable and I was expecting Odin to recognize it but nothing happens. Since in the threads I've been researching for s7 edge there is no indication on waiting to see something happening on ODIN (but in some other threads - not s7 edge related though - mention something about having to see a blue indicator on COM), I'm not quite sure if I'm expected to just hit start even if no apparent change is happening on ODIN nor there is some drivers installing/configuring when connecting the device on download mode. Since I'm quite new to this, I'm no sure if I should connect the device first with some other option enabled, like USB debugging or if I'm missing something quite obvious for someone familiar with flashing with odin?
Kind regards for any help!
PS. I did tried to find an answer through searching but foung nothing related s7 edge wise so I'm at a loss not even knowing if just hitting start without having the device recognized on ODIN will do any harm at all (that newbie I am)
Try odin 3.11

Thank you skinza for your reply, I did tried what you suggested and although it wasn't enough for getting it solved it helped me to know I was on the correct path and that I could use an updated odin.. finally, the problem was on embarrassing one since I went into download mode but hadn't push the volume up to get into the actual ODIN mode (too newbie of me but I was trying to follow the instructions I'd found and none were that specific - a bit afraid of messing it up). Nonetheless, thanks again for your time! Kind regards!
Edit: Now I'm rooted (thanks CF) and it took less than expected (a couple of mins or so). I didn't go the custom recovery way, so it might have been that.

Thanks again! for now I won't be going for a custom rom but wanted to be able to install a firewall to stop some apps from draining my prepaid data (limited)..
I was planning on having xposed installed but it seems I need a custom recovery for that as well.. I used to have xprivacy on a previous nexus 4 and loved I could limit some permissions that are still missing now on marshmallow but haven't got a grip yet as per the effects due to the dm-verity thing.. would you happen to know anything about it? and I was also wondering about if I do need to have the OEM unlock still enabled now that I'm rooted? (The later because I'd been robbed of my cellphones in the past - even recently a new s7 edge that didn't last me even a month and wouldn't want to let them have an easy pie on having the device available)

Got the same issue. I'm new with this. My colleague wants me to learn and test and load Lineageos on some brand new S7 G930F devices he gave me which I have already switched to dev mode with OEM unlock and USB debugging on and the devices smoothly jumped into ODIN downloading.... mode
I also have the proper Samsung USB Driver installed. (did it several times after ODIN didn't recognize my device)
However, according to the manual, I should start up ODIN, then connect the device via USB cable to the workstation (as unsuccessful I already tried 3 workstations with Windows 7 and Windows 10) whilst having the phone in download mode... .BUT NOTHING APPEARS in the Log field and the ID:COM Box doesn't change colour and my manual says that it should.
My workstation however recognizes the devices with positive messages so I guess the drivers are good.
My co-worker gave me ODIN v3.10, but as this didn't work I downloaded and installed V3.12, but unfortunately also without any luck.
What am I doing wrong?
which OS?
S7 edge SM-G935F
Hey guys,
i tried rooting my s7 edge but after i got into TWRP my phone went into a bootloop. when i got back download mode, odin still found my phone, though everytime i tried to enter TWRP again, odin said there was a FAIL and my phone immediatly went back into bootloop. I tried to reinstall the samsung usb drivers but now odin cant find my phone anymore.
Before i screw up even more, can someone please help me? right now im stuck in download mode and odin 12, 11, and 10 all wont recognize my phone, also not if i use different cables. my windows laptop however still gives me the device found and device disconnected sound everytime i (dis)connect my phone.
any ideas?
thanks
EDIT: Okay i tried my USB 3.0 port and now odin found my phone. just weird... now i just need to solve the problem that I'm still stuck in the Bootloop but that probably doesnt belong in this thread

any advice greatly appreciated

Hi there, I have a problem with my phone and I was ponited in the direction of this forum to see if anyone would be able to help out. Any assistance woud be very greatly appreciated
I am based in UK and I recently bought myself a Galaxy Note 4. 2nd Hand but as new condition. I tried to do an over the air software update to see if the phone would be able to get a more recent version of Android (it was running 5.0.1) and the phone wouldn't connect to the server. Also whe I tried to connect to Android Pay I got an error saying the device was rooted so I couldn't use the app on this phone. I therefore wanted to unroot the phone
I must stress my real technical knowledge of Android phones is basically at novice level but I tried to unroot the phone using SuperSU which I downloaded from the app store. I ran the unroot option and restarted the phone as prompted but this resulted in my phone being stuck in Bootloop. It wouldn't go past the Samsung load screen
I probably did the worst thing which was panic, went into recovery mode and attempted to factory reset to return the phone to out of box settings. I wiped the cache and did the factory reset but, of course, this hasn't resolved the problem. I then done a bit more reading and downloaded Odin and attempted to find the stock firmware for my phone (Model SM-910F), which i did, but unfortunately when I tried to flash this firmware back to my phone through Odin I get a failed error
So basically i'm on my knees trying to get some technical advice as to what else i can try or how to proceed. I did try taking it back to the Samsung Store and plead ignorance for help but the best I got there was that my main board would need replacing which would probably set me back another 200 nicker. For that money I may as well just buy a new phone. any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently left with a very expensive paperweight
Many thanks in advance guys

Press 3 button combo while phone is turned off to go into download mode.(volume down+home+power)
Or even better if you can take picture and upload it while your phone in download mode.

Hello there.
Sorry to say but you dont have N910f international model.its refurbished and faked by n910F software.as you can see your download mode shows n910t that's the orignal motherboard model.and also it shows binaries and status custom and not official as it should.also knox is 0×1 it means it was rooted before and warranty was void.
You have sm-N910T that's T-mobile usa model.
You can download latest N910T firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and flash through odin.
Dont try to flash n910f firmware otherwise it can be bricked and unusable.
Hope this will help.

You're welcome.
Make sure after flash firmware go to recovery by pressing (volume up+ home+ power ) while phone is off and do (data factory reset & wipe cache)otherwise it will stuck on Samsung logo at first boot.
First boot will take approximately 15 minutes.
