what firmware were you running when the issue began? MDL, MF3? sounds like maybe you took the update?

I think that is where the problem started. I tried 2 computers and the same problem. I am redownloading the stock firmware again.

If you had mf3 on, no amount of odin is going to help.

You must have taken the update to MF3. Essentially, you will not be allowed to downgrade firmware back to older versions. The way Samsung is writing the bootloader is there a monotonic counter only going in one direction, up. So if the bootloader has been updated to the latest version by an OTA, you can't revert it back. Currently I believe there is no workaround, but we have some awesome devs on this site so keep your fingers crossed.

What exactly did you do that caused the problem?
What exactly is the state of your phone now? Can you boot up or not? Please be clear.

You tried what update? What do you mean it didn't work? What do you mean you tried to go into both recoveries? You can only have one on your phone at any given time. Tell me exactly what you did. DETAILS.
Also, again, exactly what is the state of your phone right now? What does it do when you turn it on and what exactly is the problem.
Please try to be clear.

HI I just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360859 and how I am able to boot into my phone. How can I tell you if the update over the air did anything? I know there was a problem with the update over the air. The last thing I did was a factory data reset and format SD card. So now I can use the phone and if I try to go into CWM turning of the phone and holding power, up volume and home and it doesn't go in cwm just go to downloading screen. I take out the battery and power up and it works. I think the phone now is not rooted. So should I try to root or try to use odin and install Stock Firmwares..

P.S in kies the current firmware version PDA:MF3 / PHONE:MF3 / CSC:MF3 (ATT)

Go into settings, about device, and see what your build number is. If it ends in mf3 you have the update. If it ends in mdl or mdb then you don't and you can still use Odin. If it's mf3 Odin is not going to work.

Please don't take offense to this, but you need to hear it:
You have a serious problem - and it's not your phone - it's you. You clearly are not well-versed on what you are doing to your phone. You seem to be just trying things to see if they'll work and a common result is a bricked and unrecoverable phone. Just take a look at the Q & A forums and see how many threads there are about people who didn't read, research, and understand before attempting something...and now they are desperate for help. Your thread is one of those.
You have not yet given a clear indication of what you did to cause your problem in the first place, nor have you explained clearly what your problem was and the current state of your phone. You then asked "should I try this?" and before anyone told you whether or not it was a good idea, you tried it anyways.
You need to step away from your phone and take some time to read, research, and understand what's going on. You don't even know how to tell if your phone is rooted. It seems like you've completely lost your recovery mode, and now you want to try more stuff. You will be lucky if you don't ruin your phone if you keep it up.
You need to read all of this and understand it before you continue:

Once you finish reading that, you'll understand how dangerous your current situation is. Phones on MF3 firmware have no way to recover to stock and, quite often, if you brick your phone there is currently no way to fix it...so you'll have a $650 paperweight.

[Q] Problem rooting SM-N9005

For two days i have been struggling to root my new Orange Romania N9005.
First of all I downloaded CF Auto Root and Odin 3.09. Followed the steps exactly (i'm not new to rooting) ,Uninstalled Kies and downloaded the latest drivers only, and every single time I try to root it Odin gives the following error:

,I have tried to change usb ports to no avail, even tried to root it on 4 different laptops.Tried with different cables, with usb debugging on and off, NOTHING WORKS!!!
Please help me I am thinking of setting it on fire!!!

Try install Kies and try again...
/CK

tried with old kies and kies 3 as well.Also tried older drivers.
Do i have a locked BootLoader?This shouldnt be the case as it is an n9005.
Any way to check if bootloader is locked and if so any way to unlock it for the international version?
Thanks!

No one?
Doesn't any one know how to help?Don't know where else to ask.

I had the same issue while rooting my Galaxy S4,tried on every other laptop,different ports,cables and more but then I realized I was using the wrong file.
Yes,the international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.Are you able to boot your phone into Download mode?I am sure u cant boot into Recovery mode,can you?
First go back and check your phone's model no and use the proper file and try again!I will help you,dont worry!

I deactivated the reactivation lock but still the same problem.I have Downloaded the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar file several times same thing every time.My last chance is doing a full wipe of the system and then trying again.I hope orange Romania CSC does't have some sort of security block.
Frustrating thing is the phone is fully functional so i cannot ask for a replacement.And even after the dozens of failed flash attempts it still reads 0x0.
YES!!!Finally.A full wipe did it.!Thank you for your interest in helping me.

Before you wanna flash. Don't forget to uncheck reactivation lock, put off your external sd card. And look carefully for your modem and radio. Don't switch with the another kernel before official launch comes.

Yes, the reactivation lock did it for me too. I was stuck at exactly the same point and couldn't think of why, and this didn't even come to mind. In fact, I forgot that I even did that, but it worked. !!!

Help please, I have a (Note 3) SM-N900V on JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE.
I bought it on Jan 12th ish, and took the firmware update as soon as I saw it because of some reading I had done.... shouldn't have done that I guess.
I am still totally unable to root this thing, Kingo, Odin v3.0.9. I am willing to do w/e (go back to older firmware even if possible)
I know there are no guarantees in this attempt, and would not hold you to anything, I have rooted every other android I have had and am very familiar with the process, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

If you unroot Lose the regional unlock????

can you at least put a warning up, if you are on MJ5 and you try this method you will brick your device?
Thanks.

What if you are on MI1, can you still do the MJ9 one click and upgrade to MJ9 unrooted?

dead link
I have been looking for a way to unroot my n900a and everywhere i have gone the files needed leave me at a dead link...can anyone help with this a mirror or am I missing something here?

If you rooted with Kingo, just unroot using the unroot commend in SU. After a couple of restarts everything will be back to normal. This also works on MJ5..

Sorry, but this doesn't work.
I keep getting a "FAILED" message.

If you are on mj5 and you flash it using Odin with the mj5 stock ROM will the Knox counter trigger?

I'm getting a failed message as well. Seems like the OP isn't responding to anyone who was unsuccessful returning back to stock.

Yeah. With all the ads on OPs website, OP is just probably here to make some extra revenue from the ads.

i have a friend who works for Samsung mobile and she tried putting on kitkat from her work laptop. The firmware she has comes directly from Samsung but it wouldn't let her because it kept reading that my phone had been rooted. i had used this app ginger unroot to supposedly remove my root but it apparently didn't work. I would like to know if i use this method will that by pass the message?

You won't get anywhere with this method. Read our replies.

Odin Fails
Hi I have my AT&T Note 3 currently rooted but want to put it back to normal. I never changed the ROM and Knox hasn't been tripped. But what I did was uninstall certain apps that were preloaded with out backing them up first. Also my wifi decided to not work anymore and I cant do any updates. So I decided I wanted to reinstall stock firmware. I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and used Odin 3.09 like it was recommended. But every time I try Odin Fails. I also tried this method as well and Odin fails. I tried mulitple cords, usb ports, and different computers. Here is what the Odin log says

Did you figure out why it was failing and if there is any fix for it?

Unfortunately, I will have to unroot my phone.... work requires me to encrypt my device... which apparently won't encrypt with root. Is this a pretty safe method to unroot?

[Q] Rerooting Samsung I337

I apologize if my situation is here somewhere. I have read through so many forums and can't find what I need, plus I am sort of new at this. So here goes.
I rooted my Samsung I337 about 8 months ago for the first time. I can't remember exactly how, but I followed a thread here to do it. It worked perfectly! I then flashed the Golden Eye rom to it through TWRP. I have loved it since then. I did a back up of my original rom on my phone from the start. Well, I decided yesterday to unroot it. I followed the directions from a thread here and it seems to have worked except that when I turn it on, the custom screen is first. However, I have no supersu and when I try to get rooting apps it tells me I need to root my phone. So I assume it worked.
Well, I have used it for a day and now remember why I rooted it in the first place. I want to put it back but can't seem to do that. I downloaded Odin, connected my phone, and when I try and download the file to it, it fails. This is what I get.

The only thing I can see is that I am told the COM port should be yellow and mine is blue. Does that make a difference? What could the issue be? Any help would be awesome!

Ok, I figured it out. I went about it a different way. Odin wasn't working for me so I went the route of Motochopper and it worked perfectly.
Now, my question is, before I rooted again I wanted to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3. However, every time it tried, it failed. Each time it would download the update it would reboot to TWRP and then I would get the "something interrupted the download" so it wouldn't finish. How would I get around that? How do I get the update?

Don't. Getting the update will lock your bootloader and you won't get TWRP and any ROM freedom anymore. If you want 4.3, use the StockUp ROM or something. Then you can still switch to something like Google Edition 4.4.2 or any other ROM if you ever want to.

Tried flashing another stock ROM trying to get back to stock from root. That didn't work. Then I flashed this and am able to boot. But my mobile data icon is just 4G instead of being 4G LTE (or LTE), and I'm missing the WiFi calling button as well.
So, I probably need to flash the radios and everything with this. So, do I flash the AP first from the ZIP, then everything else after, or can I flash them all at once? Not an experienced ODIN user. Only used it a handful of times.

U said that u tried to go back to stock from root? Meaning u have pgc firmware and u CAN'T use this PI4 firmware to go back to stock..... when u do that u stuck with newer Bootloader and u not able to root again.... if u need to go back then flash PGC original firmware.
EDIT:
If u already on PI4 then flash all at once.... BL AP CP CSC....

Yes you must flash all parts of this to be on stock PI4 ROM. But remember that you will lose root and not get it back.

Thanks, guys. Those were the answers I was looking for.

Hello I want to say thank you for providing the T-Mobile Firmware Package for restoring the Note 7 to its original state after a Rooting atampt botched up. I also had this problem but now restored the phone with the supplied firmware. Thank you.
I do have one problem though. The firmware supplied has the first update with the annoying Safety Recall statement in that hugh box while plug is inserted, pulled out and turned on. I like to know if you can supply the original firmware that the phone came boxed with or if you have some kind of way of getting rid of that stupid annoying big box message that pops up all the time.
And again thank you so much.

Ok I feel like a dumb ass,
This has to be the most complicated root, update I have ever seen. I accidently hit update earlier today which reduced my battery life to 60% I tried living with it today and it was driving me absolutely nuts I thought about taking the phone in and getting a damn iphone just because I'm tired of messing around with this phone..... I tried to root using post one however it keeps failing, I tried rooting using post 2 that also failed. I tried going back one firmware version that also didn't work, I tried doing the samsung smart switch recovery it asks for a code I tried the serial of the phone and model number that also didn't work. Can someone please explain either how to get root from the newest firmware or to revert back to a older firmware that dosen't have this stupid battery restriction. The information of my phone is below .

I than did a quick search had someone suggest checking "re-partition" that also failed with the same error. After rebooting the phone it wouldn't boot anymore and was stuck at "an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"
So I gave that a go and it tells me that the device is not supported after doing the model and serial number lol.

If only it was that easy. As of now I can't even get into android it fails to boot. I cleared cache and factory reset and still won't boot. I'm sure I will have to flash now for sure from recovery or download mode. I think Samsung is ****n with us somehow to not let us flash.

The same thing happened to me. I re-flashed to the recent firmware I had installed originally (the one with the big ugly safety recall message from September). I flashed everything at once BL, AP, CP and CSC(I used the HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5 named file because I was returning to stock)
