Newbie needs to upgrade rooted phone. Help! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My phone is displaying the following after I attempted to flash to the latest firmware via Kies.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : SGH-I747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE
My phone was rooted and I simply went into Super SU and chose the complete unroot option, then rebooted.
Unfortunately, the updating process got stuck. What would I do from there in order to be able to update the phone?

You have an i747m which is an s3. This is the s4 forum. But you should be able to go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash it in Odin.

Downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2

My phone have
Custom Binary count: No.
Device status: Official.
In the setting>about device>status>device status:Normal. Now, I'm getting on 4.1.2 from MJ5 4.3. I used the followings
1. flash the respective official 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile.com. after finish flashing , go to recovery mode and wipe data.
2. flash Philz recovery via Odin.
3. install updated 4.1.2 modem (XXDME4 / DXDMF1 / DDMG1) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 via CWM (at this step you should get IMEI back.)
4. root the device with CF-auto root.(CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar)
5. install Triangle away to reset flash counter.
6. full unroot super SU
7. wipe all data/factory reset .
Check the device status in setting. And then go to download mode to check again.
I'm not sure is this steps working on every Galaxy note 2 N7100. But actually I've been downgraded to 4.1.2 and I can get OTA also (already checked).
I decided to downgrade my N7100 because most of the custom roms use high RAM usage.
When at the firmware upgrade fail status,
1. Just flash "Philz recovery" via Odin.
2. After finished, Long press Vol up + Home + Power button to get into recovery mode.
3. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and "CLEAN TO IN STALL NEW ROM"
All of this step finished, Go to download mode "Vol down + Home + Power button" and flash the firmware (4.3 or 4.1.2 again).
NOTICE.
Dear all,
The latest 4.3 official firmware (MK4 or later ) has KNOX enabled bootloader and can't be downgrade. So, don't try to downgrade If your bootloader is KNOX enabled.

Remove KNOX bootloader to return to stock - using Dr. Ketan Method
Hi Guys,
I just want you opinion before i do this step. Hence asking
KNOX enabled boot loader has messed up my idea of return to Stock either via KIES or via ODIN.
I flashed the official Indian 4.3 ROM on my EU model NOTE 2 over the leaked ROM with MJ5 and it failed. I couldn't recover the phone with KIES either.
KIES will say that firmware update / emergency recovery has encounterd an error.
ODIN says FAIL and "Device Unsupported" appears in Download screen.
Shall i try Dr. Ketan's KNOX bootloader removal method to get my mobile back ? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823 )
Can i then flash the original firmware N7100XXDMF1 on my Note 2 (EU version) ?
Would appreciate if you guys could help me on this.
I can still access the download mode with KNOX boot loader.
Thanks

I am using Indian 4.3 rom on my EU device (N7100 Note 2)
It use Know enabled Bootloader.
* When I try to flash MJ5 bootloader with Odin, it failed. (incorrect version)
* When I try to flash EU 4.1.2 rom with Odin, it failed. (incorrect version)
Is there a way to downgrade to EU 4.1.2 rom? I guess NO

Same problem here
I flashed the 4.3 indian version. After 40 minutes it doesn't finished and my laptop battery is discharged. When i switch on the phone, it shows me the message error "firmware upgrade encountered".
Kies doesn't work.
I'm not able to enter in the recovery mode. I'm able to enter in the download mode. If i try to flash the rom again with odin, it shows me this error:
Any suggestion? thanks
flash recovery thru odin then maybe restore a nand backup or flash the new rom via cwm
So is there some other here already tried this step and got success??? please post location and if your from custom rom or from official rom? thanks

I'm able to flash the recovery thru odin, just do it and now i'm able to boot in recovery mode.
But i'm not able to flash the new rom via cwm because i'm not able to mount the sd card (it works only as usb storage, not as sd card mode and so i'm not able to upload the rom file on it).
I can find a solution for this, but i'm not sure it will work because now i have the knox firmware (warranty bit 1) and it isn't downgradable. Am i right?
thanks
I had to restore my efs data in order to downgrade back to 4.1.2.

I don't recall the exact steps, but I flashed my old 4.1.2 stock rom through philz recovery then ran the efs restore through dr. Ketans multi tool. Before the efs restore I would get boot loops at the Samsung logo.

Trying to root desperatly Galaxy Note 3 already under Lollipop

Hello everybody
I have Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (purchased in France), That has never been rooted, and which is already under Lollipop (regular updates by Samsung)
I would like to root it in order to be able to use some apps that only work under rooted devices.
I went through all the forums, tried all I could, but didn't succeed.
I tryed :
Towelroo
t, but it seems it doesn't have the stratedy for this version or this android version
Kingroot, but it seems it doesn't have the stratedy for this version or this android version
Via Odin, CF-auto-root, but I always get a "FAIL"!
Via Odin, CWM- recovery , but always get a "FAIL" or Odin bugs..
Via Odin, Twrp, but always get a "FAIL" or Odin bugs..
I'm not an expert at all, but really tried my best... I seems there ar elots of things to root a GN3 under Kikkat, but it is more difficult to root when it is already under Lollipop..
Would you have any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Update drivers on pc and the latest odin also make sure your cf is for lollipop and your reactivation lock is off failing that try the latest firmware or a prerooted one
HYBRID
Yeah make sure the drivers are installed on PC! If you are on an updated version of Windows 7 or 10 as soon as you connect the phone to your PC the drivers will be automatically downloaded for your phone, unless you have Windows auto update disabled.
When you are connecting the phone to Odin you SHOULD see the connection confirmation message as in com0, com1 or whatever. See the attached screenshot if that helps.
And I have no idea about those root methods, but for rooting a N9005 it's extremely easy. Just download TWRP from here, https://twrp.me/ Flash it with Odin. Download the .tar image obviously as you are using Odin. Then download this Super SU zip and flash via TWRP, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
A bit better..
Hello.. Thanks to both of you.. There is a little bit progress..
Indeed, there was an issue with the reactivation lock.. Then I succeeded in installing some files.. some failed some succeeded.
I tried the CF-auto-boot and CWM. Then I also tried to run the SuperSU file..
However, I'm not sure all is working ok..
- When I use the Root Checker Basic, it says "Congratulations!, Root access is properly installer on this device.
- However, I installed Titanium backup, and a windows ask me "Requete Super Utilisateur"... However, I cannot click on neither "Refuse" or "Authorize"...?? (Same issue with Greenify!)
So At the end, I don't really what is installed, what is not, what is working! How should I proceed to make sure I can use such app, such as Titanium backup, Greenify, JuiceDefenders, etc?
- When I press Start/Home/VolDown, I get :
"Odin Mode
Product name : SM-N9005
Current Binary : Custom
System status : Custom
Reactivation Lock : Off
Knox Warranty Void : 0x1 (4)
Qualcomm Secureboot : Enable (CSB)
RP Swrev S2, T2, R2, A3, P3
Secure download : Enable
UDC Start"
- When I press Start/Home/VolUp, I get the file attached.
Thanks in advance for your help!

GALAXY Note 3 SM-N900.. Help..

I am a new member and I don't know where to post this on the forum and I am unable to send this via the contact link at XDA... I apologize. Kindly guide...
Hi..
Subject: Installing the custom recovery and latest cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
A few details :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 running on stock rom Android version 4.4.2 and the build Number is N900XXUDND1. It is an Indian version.
I rooted my phone via Odin cfautoroot successfully but was not unable to load custom recovery cwm since the phone would go blank and stuck in boot loop.
I had to reinstall the stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin but could not install custom recovery via Odin and again stuck in boot loop . I reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 and tried installing custom recovery via flashify me app but again the phone went blank although I could go to download mode but stuck in boot loop.
I again reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 via odin but later I could not even root my phone via Odin!!..so I rooted my phone via king root app successfully and then changed it to supersu me root successfully without a problem.
Now the problem is I want to load custom recovery in order to load Cyanogenmod.
I tried installing cwm recovery via the clockworkmod app but it does not recognize my device officially.
I tried installing custom recovery via twrp app but getting error there also.
Now this is the info I see when I am in download mode:
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A4
Is the bootloader locked in my device? Is this the reason I am unable to load custom recovery? I don't even know how to check the present status lock/unlock status of bootloader
I want to load custom recovery(cwm or twrp) and load the latest cyanogenmod at the earliest and I would appreciate if I can get step by step details of doing so.
Is it possible to do this without using a computer?...
Thanking you...
You do not need to root the phone before installing a custom ROM. You can install a custom recovery using Odin.

.... Hi.. Thank for replying so soon...
I checked the link you provided but it is all about rooting only.. As mentioned earlier, I rooted my phone and confirmed the same via root checker app. Now I just want to install cwm/twrp recovery and then go ahead and install cyanogenmod...

SMG360H Android 4.4.4 rooted device cant reboot

I successfully rooted device 3 months back. Firmware updated week back. On trying to reroot using odin, following firmware upgrade, the device will not boot up. Only opening screenwith small red ! visible.
When restarting in recovery mode the following is visible;
odin mode
secure download: enable
mdm download block: 0
product name: sm-g360h
current bin: custom
system status: official
I hope someone has experienced this failure and that help is out there somewhere as I would hate to dump the phone.
Please Help
Trevor
The best thing you can do is to grab the OFFICIAL firmware for your device and flash it with Odin. If you need help doing this I can explain if need be. What most likely happened is you use a root method that only worked for the previous version of the phone.
Smg360h
Have just downloaded firmware and the phone is working fine. Thank you
If you want to try rooting again this thread looks of use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ead-samsung-galaxy-core-prime-t3354916/page11 Also there is a cyanogenmod developed for your device. Cyanogenmod comes with root but you have to enable it in developer options.
Thanks. Will do this.
