Hi, I recently flashed lollipop to my galaxy s4 and I want to root it but when I go in download mode, there is a new text in blue saying "secure download=enabled"
Can I still root my phone using Odin and CF auto root with this enabled ? And if not how can I disable it ?

I am not sure but as far as i know you should unlock your bootloader. But like i said i am not sure,if you do more research about this it will be good for you. Sorry for bad English :good:

No need to unlock the bootloader. Secure download was introduced on the Lollipop release and it doesn't act anything on your bootloader, even if you flash insecured file (.tar without .md5) via ODIN.
ive been through thousands of pages of forums and so far this is best answer to this question lol so this secure download enabled will not stop u from flashing causing odin to fail write and if so what will stop it from flashing stock or any rom ?
secure download enabled have one purpose... you CAN'T download (flash) old or low baseband (firmware) to your device... so you can't flash anything old than the one you already have installed.. well not by odin itself.. but you still can flash recoverys if your device support it, and flash any custom rom also..
edit: this not applied to old s5, s4, etc devices.. but s6 and new 2016 devices because the hardware checks

Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN 3.10.6, then flash SuperSU zip from inside TWRP
I can confirm this works. Also, you might want to try "Android Toolkit".

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!

hello everyone, after rooting and flashing lots of phones, i have probably managed to brick one
since i am using linux, i tried heimdall wich detected but couldnt flash , not even read pit
i tried to root it, with kingroot, failed
then i tried kingoroot desktop app, it seemed to work then after flashing philzcwm using rashr, it went into download mode
at some time i may have flashed a recovery img onto BL, wich i NOW know is the bootloader
i knew that i shouldnt mess with the bootloader, but didnt think BL was bootloader
now using odin 3.10.6 in win xp it doesent seem to do nothing
it automatically goes into download mode with first line saying
"could not do normal boot"
i am now downloading an original firmware 4.4.6 from sam mobile
can anyone help me or is it bricked?
Lost count of how many things you did wrong there
Get a Native Windows 7+ PC running, boot the phone into download mode, flash stock ROM with ODIN 3.10.7
If it fixes it - spend a long time reading threads here on XDA before trying anything else
i dont think i flashed the bootloader, i remembered, odin was crashing before i ever hit start cause i was selecting the md5 and it didnt have the tar
now after flashing twrp 2.8 it boots fine, but if i try to boot in recovery, it goes to download mode "cant do normal boot"
flashed cf autoroot it also goes to download mode
i remember on galaxy s3 if you didnt restart straight to recovery just after flashing it would overwrite with stock recovery
but now if i try to restart to recovery after flashing it doesent do anything, i have to unplug it and take out the battery
edit
if i press vol[-] home power it goes to normal download mode
if i press vol[+] home power it supposed to go to recovery but goes to download mode with "could not do normal boot" message
if i press power alone it boots normally
in download mode it says
product name: sm-g901f
current binary:custom
system status:custom
reactivation lock: off
knox warranty void 0x1(4)
qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)
RP SWREV: S1 T1 R1 A1 P1
secure download : enable
UDC start
i dont mind learning but android is pretty ugly with all the lack of documentation and standards
i learned a lot of stuff reading this forum, and will always respect people who know more than me
i just dont understand what the hell just happened, didnt encountered this before
Yea.. So follow my instructions
i am following your instructions precisely , will spend the day installing crap win7 wich i am running away from, to use with 3.10.7
in the meantime can you explain to me what happened?
i read somewhere something about odin bad usb on xp, would that pe hardware, driver, odin or usb protocol error
fixed, was flashing klte recovery, damn dozen versions of every phone
only clean rom i found was cm12 and dokdo7, both 5.1 based
waiting for network unlock, and case and im good to go
would have loved more after-market roms omni,aokp,pac, maybe 4.4
5.1 has the crap pie (position independent executable) so i cant play with perl 5.20, im stuck with 5.7
if anyone knows where to find more clean roms for g901f / kccat6xx i would be greatful
a more recent version of perl to work on 5.1 would also be nice
did you ever get this fixed?
having the same trouble with my Note4...just happened out of nowhere.

How did you fix it ??? if i flash a custom rom i get the same issue and my device is the same as yours. I flashed back stock rom, samsungs own recovery works well but as soon as i flash a custom recovery (twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5) i get your issue. How can i fix this and install a custom recovery ? When i install CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar.md5 the recovery is back but even when i flash within the os (terminal) the recovery is broken "again"
FIXED!!!! Installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1

Download stock rom and flash by odin.They are plenty of websites online.Just search for ur phone model followed by stock rom and u will find the exact rom for u to download and flash via odin.
The problem was the recovery, same as the user on page 1. See my last notes in prev. post
Hi everybody.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (6) 2016 (SM-A510F) with android 6.0.1.
I tried to root with CF-Auto Root and did everything as supposed to. But when the phone reboot it says always recovery is not seandroid enforcing.
So I did the same procedure again with the ODIN always and I unchecked the AUTO Reboot. But now ODIN says with green letters RESET. Did i just reset my phone?
I flashed the same file. I followed the procedure to the letter as said in the CF-AutoRoot thread. But I can;t understand whats wrong. I always use to root my phones but was Sony not Samsung. :crying:
What can I do?
The phone now suppose to be 6.0.1 or 5 android version? If it reseted it fully i mean.
Plus my knox warranty void number is 1. So that means that the first time worked but i didnt know what to do after that message.
Is the Ashyx method [TWRP 3.0.2-1][ROOT] GALAXY A5(2016) - sm-a510 - UPDATE 5/4/2016 capable of rooting my phone now? Or i have to put the stock rom inside and after try to root?
Save me please! I hope i didnt brick it.
Thanks a lot guys. I hope for a quick response! xx

If your device is bricked and not getting it back with Odin, try out the smart switch from samsung, there youll have EMERGENCY RECUPERATION, which leaves your device as it was.

Hello xda Community,
it's me again but this time in the S7 Edge section.
I have a very big problem. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I think it's bricked.
The Phone won't turn on and I'm not able to enter the recovery mode but the download mode is working.
I have tried to flash the Oreo Stock Rom but this didn't worked. Moreover I've tried to flash the TWRP recovery but this failed too
I get errors like Kernel Rev check fail device or sw rev check fail Bootloader.
I should mention that the FRP Lock is ON
Please help me guys I thank you all for the ideas
PS: I'm very sorry about my English. I know, it's not perfect :laugh:

I did the same thing but i managed to get it working by flashing TRWP again through odin. It would also be better if u copy over a custom rom aswell using the adb push command in terminal because i accidentaly set off DM verity.

I already said that I'm not able to flash TWRP. The reason is that my phone denies the flash process because of the FRP Lock

I had this exact same problem a month back, I forgot to enable OEM unlock and I faced the same issues.
I downloaded the very latest stock rom at the time, and it was the 1st November security patch version. Try that and let me know.
Go to grifofdev and then ask the admin.He is a helpful person and will solve your problem..
