Recently I updated my phone to a lollipop using the standard updates verizon pushed out. After doing this I decided to root my phone, which didn't end well. I used several different methods like towel root, which said my device wasn't supported, and I tried using odin. Neither worked, so I decided to try and downgrade Android back to 4.4.4, which didn't work either. Both times I used odin it failed. Any way I can root or downgrade with this current update, or is there some kind of odin fix?
You can't root using 4.4.4 or 5.0, only the NCG, which is 4.4.2, build or lower. To Odin items you need to boot into download mode, which can be done by holding home+volume down+power on start. Once in download mode flash the NK2 tar, factory reset in recovery mode, and then setup. Then download towelroot, boot into download mode again, flash a ncg kernel, and root using towelroot. Now boot into download again and flash the NK2 kernel. Setup SuperSU, install busybox, and install safestrap recovery. Then follow the instructions in the general section of the vz s5 to get root on lollipop.
I know you have to put it into odin mode, and I think my main problem with odin is that the bootloader is locked. Any way to unlock it?

You can't install Philz on a locked boot loader. Not only that, but you're using a klte version. If the boot loader was unlocked you'd need a kltevzw version. You can downgrade to NK2 using the stock tar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

Hey all, after being on cm for a while I returned to stock using odin. After I rooted using motochopper and installed cwm. I then attempted to updated using OTA. It seemed to go well, but I got the message the the stock recovery could be flashed and I said no the fix and then said no to fix root. The phone is now stuck on bootloop and get the message below when trying to flash stock firmware(MDB or MDL) using ODIN. When I did try and boot the phone gave me a message about some file being in use. I have no idea where to go from here and any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You returned to stock, put a custom recovery on and then you decided to take the mf3 firmware update? Your recovery is now borked. Check out the best buy fix.

Ah, the old ninja edit. Lol
I have a Verizon Note 3 that I rooted then unrooted. Verizon pushed a ota to my phone and now all I get is System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. I tried odin toflash back to stock but that fails. Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Once you go to 4.4.4 you are out of luck with downgrading and rooting
I,m just trying to get working again. It tells me
software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Go to the nearest vz store. Only they have never seen it. At this point I don't care if I trip the knoxs . I'll run a custom if I have to.
Do a factory reset. Or just ignore the warning
I tried to do a factory reset. It won't let me. The best I can tell is vz locked it.

You are trying to install an older firmware nc2. You cannot go back. You need to Odin nj6 4.4.4, if Vzw sent nj6 ota to your phone.
Or do a factory reset like I stated.
Factory reset would not work.
How did you try a factory reset?
I couldn't do a factory reset. The only thing I could do to the phone was put it in down load mode. The home button did nothing. The vz dealer said volume down, home button and power should do a reset. When the odin screen popped up they didn't know what to do.
I wasn't sure if i was on 4.2 or 4.4. Before the ota came through I was on 4.2. I could not get 4.2 to download with odin. I went to SamMobile and down loaded 4.4 . That did the trick. My phone is back working again.
Now when I put the phone in download mode now it doesn't say anything about the knox or warranty. Before it said knox 0x0 and warranty 0x1 . I'm not sure if it reset that part or not. I do know I will not let it do another ato again.
I want to thank everybody for their help. I could not have done with out this forum.
I would also like to thank edfunkycold for moving my thread to the right spot

Factory reset will delete user data, not system data.
Do a factory reset under settings

Please Help me if there is any possible way...

Hello and thank you for using Q&A,

Verizon lock their bootloaders don't they?
iirc someone managed to unlock one, but not sure if the method went public
With a locked bootloader, you can not flash anything custom
Towelroot only works with older KitKat ROMs, I think pre-June 2014?
*Detection* is correct, towelroot will not work on LP firmwares. And with a locked bootloader you have zero chance of downgrading to KitKat.

ok let`s start from the start, i tried to root my note 3 sm-n9005 and failed to succeed.
i used the cf auto root guide, odin said success but my phone failed to boot and went straight to recovery mode.
then, i tried using odin 3.07/09/11/185 to rewrite into the stock rom, but odins says FAIL and gives nothing in return.

i just want get my phone back with android that above 4.4
please help :crying:
Looks like the ROM you are trying to flash is not made for your phone or the ROM is older than the ROM currently installed on the phone.
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB cables and ports?
For Root note 3 use Towelroot by Chainfire.
Sent from my Limited Edition Note 3 LTE using Super Tapatalk
Download Official 5.0 ROM from Sammobile and flash it in Odin, after it try to root phone...
In dialog this looks like firmware file is damaged
The firmware doesn't look damaged, the firmware you are trying to flash has a bootloader that is older than the bootloader in the phone.
isn't chainfire's root method called cfautoroot?
download one more time...
I've been trying to root my T-Mobile Marshmallow Note 4 using CF Auto Root but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I downloaded the correct auto root file for my model (SM-N910T).

RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I can take out the battery and get back to the boot load screen.
I've been able to root this phone before using CF Auto but on an older version of android, is this a marshmallow issue? I'm obviously still not very experienced with this so any help would be appreciated.
