Hello everyone,
i am fairly new to the world of rooting and recently encountered a problem while flashing a rom
i have the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 N-900A running 4.3 jellybean (2 year contract expired and i got and used the unlock code)
i rooted the phone using the kingo root app, because i could not update the phone (I recently moved out of the USA so i cant connect to an at&t server to update)
i installed safestrap recovery 3.71 and it was running fine
i found a tutorial from galaxy note 3 root for the knoxraid ro
(put youtube. c o m here) /watch?v=8HDHt4xSnQY
according to the tutorial i had to install the rom over the stock rom file
so i copied the stock rom to rom slot 1
this is where i messed up, i installed the knoxraid rom over the stock rom without wiping/data factory reset first. But it gets worse, i realized i forgot to wipe the data from safestrap so before the install was even halfway completed, i pulled the battery out.
now whenever i turn it on it will go straight to recovery mode
it wont even turn off. i have to pull the battery out.
i can get to download mode and recovery mode but thats it.
im not sure about the build number because it wont boot up
all i can tell you is it is a at&t note 3 running 4.3 jellybean
please help if you can
btw: my computer wont recognize the phone because it says the PHONE does not have the correct drivers installed
however odin still recognizes it with the blue box with 0:[COM6] if that helps
so yeah please help me the phone is fairly new and i dont want to waste $600

TALE OF A HEART BROKEN ROOT ATTEMPT
hello xda members
i am a note 3 N900 (exynos)user from India. i bought this phone in december 2013. all was going pretty good for a while. after almost 6 months the battery life started to diminish. initially i could get 24 h total time with 3-4 hours screen time and with 3G data on intermittently. but once the battery life decreased and got heating issues near the camera i decided to root. I had taken my phone to authorized samsung service centres twice to know whether my phone has any battery issues to which they said " everything is fine ". i waited till the end of my warranty period and attempted to root in january 2015. i have been doing many researches by reading posts and watching videos online. Finally the D day came and i decided to go for it !! I tried everything as mentioned in the video by cursed4eva based on chainfires post. everything went fine and finally got a message : FAILED !! i tried once more and the end result was same. then on my 46k worth note 3 i saw this heart breaking message " "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". i tried to do so in kies but it was also futile. finally i took my phone to a nearby mobile shop and they said this can be repaired but will take some time, pls come in the afternoon. I was totally disappointed and was thinking just because of this root attempt i have spoiled all these hard earned money of mine At around 5 pm in the evening i got the phone back . i was so happy to see it was working fine ! but i lost 500 indian rupees for that !
End result of that tiring day was like this : i tripped my knox counter, phone wasnt rooted and lost 500 rupees
later my battery life decreased. after a full charge now i get only 14 hrs with 2.5-3 h screen time( phone is just 1 year old). when i tried to search for any soft ware updates i got one more wonderful message which conveyed the message" your device has been modified and no OTA " When i hear that lollipop update is at the door steps i can only sit back with a heart full of sorrow
dear friends out here , i need your priceless help in this issue. I am not well versed with this rooting stuff , so need a simple explanation about what actually would have gone wrong with my rooting extravaganza !! i have read some posts that my mobile can be modified in such a way that knox counter will be 0x0 and system status original which will help me update via OTA. so please guide me through what all things have to be done and what to do in case i see the heart breaker "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." again !!! . After all these , i tried to format my phone thinking it will improve the battery life, but factory resetting both ways is impossible now.
in concise , my requirements
1. need to root my device safely- Warranty period is over now
( SM N900, Kitkat 4.4.2, base band version N900DDUENG1 , kernel version 3.4.39-1955999, Build number KOT49H.N900XXUENF3)

2. need to update to lollipop OTA and reset KNOX to 0x0 and system status to stock

4. how to factory reset the phone ( i tried using settings and hard keys- both failed) . when i released the power button the galaxy note 3 logo vanished and reappeared and went straight to boot. i dint get the menu to reset the data)

Hello there ,
i would like to tell you that you can easily root your phone by kingo root. it is safe. dont forget ti on USB debugging.
and no way to reset knox counter. so better forget about that.
1. You can use towel root not sure if it still applies forgot the required date for it to work. CF root also works make sure its for your model nlsm-n900. Tried kingo root it also works.
2. No way to reset knox to 0x0 but that wont hurt your phone. You can install russian lollipop you can download it at sammobile again make sure its sm-n900.
If your phone is currently rooted you may want to use triangle away to reset binary then flash stock russian lollipop rom but it wont again changr knox to 0x0. You will then be able to do ota.
3. For battery normally a battery needs to be replace after a certain charge cycle and usually after one year but it really depends on how often and what you use the phone for.
4. While phone is off did you press volume up and home(not sure if required) and power buttom at the same time?
I dont usually use this since i have a reboot application option.
I can understand what you were been through so if you arent rooted go to towel root down load it ( press the button named make it ra1n ) this will root your phone and you dont have to worry about brick it again ... If you want to upadate your device you have to download odin is windows pc programm which can help you to flash stock roms or update your device ..
If you want to download official rom go to sammobile sign in and find your device .
About the battery problem you can do better with your phone so if you root you your note install greenify app from playstore , download gsam to see which app is draining your battery ,reboot your phone once a while
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
@drheart the shop person nay have flashed a custom rom.
Now you can flash a fresh rom via odin and get the rom from sammobile.com. also use the cf root method on xda for the rom that you will flash.

1. You have to update your binaries first (like in the pic attached). You will have to reboot then
2. Next step is READ XDA forum (about cwm, xposed and custom roms) and no hurry to flash anything if you aren't sure.

Yes, but follow the instructions carefuly :highfive:
Guys . I have rooted my device and has installed titanium and cwm. Everything has been backed up. I have an exynos variant ,india version and is currently on 4.4.2. As of now official lollipop is unavailable in india. I would like to install the russian lollipop. Have a few questions.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
Thanks in advance
First a general warning - from my experience and reading, a major cause for bootloops and phone issues is NOT doing a physical Download Mode. i.e. rebooting into DL mode or simply restarting and holding the keys. If you want to flash a new ROM (or Stock AFAIK) you must do a physical Download Mode. i.e. you take out the battery, wait about 10 secs, then put the battery back in and hold down Home+Down Vol+Power. Note you need to take out the USB cable BEFORE doing this.
Also, most people don't seem to know that even the latest batteries need to have recharge cycles done - every so often, at least once a month, make sure you run the battery down under at least 20% - lower is better. Also make sure you never take it to 0%. This is the single reason most laptop batteries fail 1 month outside the warranty - people leave them plugged in. It might seem a good idea to keep your phone charged always above (say) 60% but it isn't.

You're right... sorry about that.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
If it is Stock firmware and you use Odin, yes. It will remove root, so you would need to do it again. Is there a reason you'd want stock rather than a custom ROM? I've used Alliance ROM and Temasek's CM12 and both are excellent, fast and smooth. Temasek's is not stock based but it is very nice to use. Alliance is probably the most customisable ROM I ahve seen that doesn't use Xposed or other 3rd party system to provide the ability to set it up how you want.
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
You should be able to. I am unsure why you'd want to as so far, I am very impressed with LP, even the stock from Sammobile. I say 'should' only because I am unsure if the updated bootloader from the LP flash would support KK firmware.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
Yes. I have yet to see a ROM where you can't pick your language on startup.
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
This is kinda answered in previous post about doing the physical boot to download - it's the only time I have seen issues coming from an Odin flash process - doing a restart into DL mode rather than pulling the battery to get there.
The other possibility is wrong PIT file or partition size. e.g. I had a Hong Kong S3 and had all kinds of problems trying to get a custom ROM onto it - managed it eventually but for a while I thought I'd only ever be able to use HK variants. So I'd make sure I have a firmware based on where your phone is from on my hard drive so if something DOES go wrong you can simply use Odin to flash that version.
Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 830F - Android 5.0.1 - Lollipop ota update 2 from Lenovo (20/7/15)
Filename: YT2-830F_USR_S000195_1504220230_WW21_ROW_TO_YT2-830F_USR_S100067_1507101258_WW52_ROW.zip
Size: 1,15 GB
Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1j7Qr4n1Z15U3pXMTdNdHRfd1E
INFO !!!
My first update OverTheAir with this file was a fail. Only black screen after update and reboot.
(I think because i did not change the country code after flashing KitKat a few weeks ago)
(If the update stuck at 100% in recovery you also have to reflash KitKat ROM)
So i flashed original 830F KitKat ROM via "PhoneFlashTool" with this ROM / Tutorial:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Z2US9gd..._150422_ROW.7z
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/tutorial-wie-installiere-ich-das-kommende-update-wenn-es-nicht-funktioniert-fuer-alle-varianten.697884/
Changed the "Country Code Setting" via ContactApp ####6020# to "de" (select your language).
And do not update any app like Chrome etc. when it reboots again after.
Then download and start the Lollipop 5.0.1 Update.
Lollipop upgrade reboots into recovery and stays 5min. at 100%.
Then reboots into some intel-flash mode and stays for 4min.
After it reboots into Lollipop OS... :cyclops:
INFO 2 !!! (if you installed Lollipop update 1 first and now restoring/flashing of KitKat ROM fails)
matshias said:
I have the same problem, only that I had the first Lollipop version for 1050F with root and then got the new Lollipop update. The Kitkat version fails to flash. But here is what helped: Go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/thi...-8-10-13-3-t2930428/post60490907#post60490907
and download the LtoKKxml.7z and copy the files into the kitkat firmware folder and then flash using flash-LtoKK-PVT-810.xml
I had to remove the parts of the XML that erase and format data. Then it worked
After that I could flash KitKat!!

LOLLIPOP ROOT
So easy, follow steps 1-8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
I download "IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and it worked with Lollipop 5.0.1.
Make sure you have all the Android, Intel, ADB driver stuff installed (for me win7 installed another one at rooting?)
!!! USE OPTION T4 FOR LOLLIPOP ROOT !!!

Yup I got the notice a few mins ago. I also got it many weeks ago when it bricked my yoga 2 8.3
Advice, when it says Updating....100%. Leave it alone. Last time I thought it was done since it said 100% for many many minutes. So i thought it was stuck or bricked. Just let it sit. It will reboot by itself and restart to the next phase.
It will also sit on the Lenovo android screen for quite a while before it goes to Android is upgrading.
Yes, i got problems too!
- It stays for 8min. at 100%. I leave it alone...
- Then 4 chinese Buttons showed up.
- I pressed the first (reboot i think)
- it reboots, it shows the white lenovo text, then black screen with background light on.
- i waited 10min., no change or start into OS.
- then i pressed 15sek power off, light goes off.
- if i power on, again white lenovo text, then black screen with background light on. nothing... ???
i reboot into recovery and wiped cache, nothing.
i think i will make update from SD card again... see if something happend
Update again from SD dont work! it says:
"/system/app/Chrome.apk" has unexpected contents...
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
SUCCESS, LOLLIPOP IS WORKING!!!
I Have restored original KitKat ROM via "PhoneFlashTool" with this ROMs / Tutorial:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Z2US9gd6f2ei/YT2-830F_S0195_150422_ROW.7z
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/t...icht-funktioniert-fuer-alle-varianten.697884/
This time i´ve made the "Country Setting" via ContactApp ####6020# to "DE" befor download and upgrade!
And i have aborted the automatic PlayStore updates for Chrome etc...
Lollipop upgrade reboots into recovery and stays 5min. at 100%.
Then reboots into some intel-flash mode and stays for 4min.
After it reboots into Lollipop OS...
So can you boot back into android? Even after you wiped it? If not and you can't do anything, call Lenovo. I think only they can fix it.
If you can get back into android, I would suggest waiting for the System update notice. That's what showed up this morning for me. I didn't have any chinese buttons. I didn't have to touch anything, just wait for a really long time which is unnerving because I don't know status.
I flashed the KitKat Version again, changed country code, and installed the new Lollipop 5.0.1 update again.
This time there are no chinese buttons to press. (i think because changing the country code befor update).
Lollipop is great, the display is much faster while scrolling in chrome etc.
Interesting. I wonder what the difference between the versions of the country codes are. Mine bricked last time it was updated to lollipop. When I got the repair back, it was back to kitkat and I couldn't update until this morning.
Glad to hear you got it fixed. A few of my apps also stopped working and I had to clear the cache to get it working again after the update.
There are some differences in pre-installed apps. I did not changed the country code few weeks ago because there are some apps in german setup i do not want...

You need to flash the stock kk firmware.

Yes, It looks like I cannot just upgrade from rooted KK. I had to go back to stock kk firmware provided in the OP's link and follow step by step instructions using google translate. thanks workdowg and 5m00v3.
anyone missing 5GHz band Wi-Fi support with country code DE? I cannot seem to change the country code once it has been upgraded to Lollipop.

Lollipop does not longer provide the option to manual change band... it will auto connect to 5ghz if possible.
It has nothing to do with country code DE. You can check your connection 2,4/5ghz with the app "wifi band".
My YT2 connects automatic to my 5ghz. And i have 2 networks (2,4 + 5ghz) with same networkname.
Hi,

Okay, I found the solution ! Make the tablet totaly Off, press volume up and volume down, than press power bouton, you directly acces to fastboot mode, and here you can flash with Phone Flash Tool.
Hi,
thanks for the timming TIPs !!
I can't believe LENOVO dosen't take care of this basic things !!
Thanks to you Lollipop is running on my beloved Yoga.
A little tip while we are avaiting 5.1,
Go in Parameter
Activate DEV options : About this tablet, touch 7 times on "Build Version", it will activate the Developper Menu in parameters
Go to Developpers Option (in PArameter)
UNCheck NuPlayer in multimedia.
--> REBOOT your device
It will allow you to avoid Lagging into the UI and apps.
Note that in 5.1 NuPlayer has been replaced by a bugfree version.

Googling ”E: failed to verify whole-file signature" and each one talks about a corrupt download... They are old posts from 2013 or so but they could be right.
Try this version 2.40. You can update in the Play store once your rooted.

Thanks for your help.
I tried the 2.40 version triple check the zip file, aleas same error...
Also there are not only corruptions problems related... some are related to CMW version problem and lack of "unsign" option..
Again thanks for the 2.40 link. If you have any suggestion I'm all ears.
There is a new update, to yt2-830f_usr_s100191_1511230623_ww52_row
anyone tried it already?
Looks like it requires going back to stock KitKat again just to update it.
Can't really be bothered trying it.
All what i did with the phone:
1. I rooted it successfully
2. I wanted to unroot it because of updates(I am waiting for the release of android n)
3. I flashed the stock firmware(16th June) with sp flash tool but it stopped with an error i dont know anymore
4. I tried to flash the parts of the rom singly but it stopped at system at 23%
5. I read that it would work when i take the battery out
6. I took the battery out and flashed the firmware and it was successfull
7. I put the battery back in but now it wont boot up(No recovery, bootloader)
I read somewhere that i must flash the firmware with pressing volume down button but it didnt work too
Pls help me
is this maybe a hardware issue and if it is: can i fix it?

Hi all! I know that Mobile Upgrade Q is long gone and I have a program that will reset your Idol 3 back to factory settings with the factory ROM. I have used this program in the past, but unfortunately I no longer have the device.
What you will have to do is download the program available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Sd99aiZIL8JSpXwAiwGitulNFbJxi2Z4
After downloading there will be a folder named "SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2" open this folder and use the setup installer to install the program. After installing (assuming you have the necessary usb drivers installed that can also be found within the folder but I assume many of us have it already installed) open the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" which if memory serves me correctly, will be placed on the desktop.
Note that you will have to have your device connected to the computer prior to launching the application.
A window will pop up asking you for a username and password. The username and password can be found in the downloaded folder in a file named "sugarpw". The user name is "SU_IN.Panasonic" without quotations and the password is "KoD8naL2".
If any window pops up regarding updates to the program, do not update it as it can cause complications when trying to restore. After this point I cannot remember much of the program because as you need your device to be connected in order to access it, I cannot see it personally. From what I remember there is a drop-down box in which you will need to select your model of Alcatel device. Then there will be two buttons from what I remember. "Get root status" (or something along the lines of this maybe "check root" I am not sure) you need to press the Upgrade or Restore button. I am not sure past this point but I assume someone can comment on this procedure exactly but this should be enough to get you through the process.

hello, first time i write here after long time reading about idol3 recovery, i was almost out of ideas, my 6039k dual sim (italy) got bricked hard as couldn't do any backup, no usb debug no adb no custom recovery, plus alcatel do not share stock rom so this software and chewyboy0 saved my phone. thank you very much. Stefano
thank u a lot you saved my phone i was not able to restore my 6045k dual sim and i was having twrp recovery but there is no roms for dual sim 6045k exept cyanogenmod 12 which was making a lot of problems glitches very annoying . by the way it after your instruction no much left behind the most important thing is after connecting your phone usb put the phone in download mode manually by pressing volume up and down with usb connected after turning your phone off till download screen popup then press volume up continuously till screen turn off , the program can not go to download mode automatically so do it manually then press upgrade in program then screen will popup asking u are u sure u want to install this rom with firmware num etc... agree and wait till it done .thank a lot chewyboy0 god give u the right path and keep u happy in life and last thanks again
Just wanted to share my experience. I actually had to upgrade the software in order to get my 6045O from cricket to restore it back to the original cricket MM. In fact, before I upgraded the software it just said 6045 and afterwards it showed multiple versions of the 6045 including the 6045O. Anyways, I just booted into download mode and pressed upgrade and waited 30 minutes. After setting my phone up I went ahead and used Alcatel Flasher to install TWRP and root my phone again.
I was beginning to give up hope. Before updating the software I kept getting model mismatch error. Had already used Eluga, which dumped by Lte for HSPA+ and I tried flashing every radio possible, which only made it worse to where the sim wasn't detected.
If you can help, on the Alcatel website it was necessary for the idol 3 Mobile_Upgrade_Q_5.1.8_Setup.exe and in fact contact me with Alcatel support and the only thing they told me was that I had to send it, but it had a cost, and My last option was to do the trial and error, so I saved it with the Mobile_Upgrade_Q_5.1.7_Setup.exe and it worked.
Note:
My idol 3 is 6045I
Android 5.0.2
I also use Google translator, I do not know English
It worked for me!
Before opening the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" I had to put my mobile in "Download Mode"...
Step by step:
1: Download the program available in the link posted in the threat;
2: Extract the downloaded zip file and open the "SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2" folder, then setup installer to install the program;
1: Turn off your device completely and connect it to your computer with a USB cable;
2: Put your mobile in "Download Mode". For Alcatel Idol 3 6039J, push and hold the Power and Both the Volume Buttons, a Red Screen should appear in your mobile, then release all buttons and quickly hold the Volume Up Button until the screen turns Black;
3: Open the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" which will be placed on the desktop (when asked, allow windows administrator privileges);
4: Enter with username (SU_IN.Panasonic) and pw (KoD8naL2), click on "OK" button;
5: Click "No" to quit updating;
6: Select your device model in "Product Models" list (6039 for Idol3 4,7");
7: Click in "Upgrade" button and wait until the end (it takes a while for downloading the firmware and writing it into your device);
8: Your device should restart automatically running the stock ROM.
9: Have fun

Hi
I could restore with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8
Available on alcatel-mobile.com
Idol 3 was restored to Marshmallow, so I don't know if root is possible after restoring.

Just 3 weeks ago, I was able to restore (in Canada) my Idol 3 to stock MM using Mobile Upgrade from download mode (I think it was version 5.1.7 as 5.1.8 would not do anything).
Here is a download link:
5.1.7:

5.1.8:

Thanks a lot mate!
