Hello all Xda members, I think I need some help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 [N9005XXUDMJ7[ because I am having some problems which makes me very very sick While everybody with this phone root easily I am stuck at the start screen and it does not boot.In this screen It says
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I've used Odin 1.85 to CF Auto Root this device. It says "PASS" on the program , but after the device stucks on the screen I mentioned above .It does not boot after that ; nothing loads too.
I really need someone to save me from this .
Goodluck

Use this older file on odin.
It's said pass so it's complete. Either use the older version hey_joe has posted and untick auto reboot. Or try this way >
Once it's rooted and said pass. Turn the phone off, and try and go into recovery then reboot the device. It should boot into Android.

Man do I owe you guys a drink, I signed up just now, just so I could tell you that too!!
I had the exact same issue as strawberry cake and I thought my phone was toast!
Just redid all the steps with the older file, and I have a phone again, a more sweaty brow too...
I wasn't sure if I had signed up before and it took me a while to figure out that I hadn't, and some of them captcha's are ****ing difficult to read!!
But I was determined to get on here and say a thank you to you guys for your most excellent advice.
Although now that I've done that I see I need to enter more captchas just to post, I could be here a while at this rate.
In any case, thank you hey_joe and radicalisto.
Also if anyone else comes across this problem all I did was follow the advice in hey_joe's thread and got my phone back...

When you use a custom recovery or a custom kernel you will get that, it's normal, means you aren't using a Samsung signed recovery/kernel. - the custom kernel comes permissive by default.

Like a couple other guys on this thread, I also became a member here purely to say thanks for the fix provided by hey_joe.
If anyone else with the same problem is reading this, just get the Odin version hey_joe posted on the first page.
Remember that you need to go into download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home) again to escape that 3-color, 3-line SEANDROID screen-lockup before you can interface with the older/better version of Odin.
Just adding this comment as it took me a few minutes to understand why Odin couldn't see the phone again. (Why yes, I *am* new to this whole rooting business) ...
All is good now and I confirmed the phone is now rooted with Root Check from Google Play.
Now to delete all this bloatware, specifically the pesky CloudAgent app that kept screwing up my ability to work with the Gallery. The popup "CloudAgent has stopped" has been the bane of my Note 3 existence for the last few days ...

I had exactly same problem on the same device, and you guys saved me !! Thanks a lot!!
I have the same thing but my phone works. It only tells me that it's not enforcing seandroid when I go into recovery. Is that normal or did my recovery not install correctly? I can use it to flash files, do backups and such so I think it's working normally. The only issue is that I coulnd't get TWRP to work, I had to find the apk on my Note 2 and flash CWM Touch to have custom recovery and every time I go to reboot from there it says that it needs to fix my root. I haven't seen anything on it, so if I am in the wrong location please direct me to where I need to go. Rooting and all isn't new to me, been doing it since I got my EVO 4G when it was released, but I am by far no expert. This KNOX crap has me kinda flustered. The root appears to stick, I can use ROM Toolbox and do what I want it to do, root checker says I have root and all, just curious about the seandroid stuff and saw this post.
Hey guys, I don't post here often, but I'm not new to this. It was through this forum that I first started rooting with mfy s3.
I just got a note 3 through Sprint. I've gotten used to getting off the grid, so I immediately jumped to root it. I decided on Jellybomb after reading some reviews. Then I downloaded everything necessary to make the jump: Odin, 1.85 and 3.09, jellybomb, cwm 6.0, twrp 7, auto-root, and the original roms in case I had to hop back.
First I went with Chainfires auto-root. I didn't seem to have any problem flashing that. The problem came with flashing twrp and the new rom. I can't remember which one was giving me trouble (I've been fighting it almost a week now). Somehow some way the phone has been stuck in an autoboot that says "seandroid not enforcing" and either "warranty bit: recovery" or "warranty bit: kernel". I tried new kernels. I tried things in different order. I can get into recovery but only after going immediately after autoroot. Even there you have a broken android.
Please help. I've been without a phone for a week.

This one is the International Note 3 forum.
You should ask for actual details in the specific Sprint Note 3 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint
You should also pay more attention to the fact that the questions should be posted in the Q&A subforum.

Cheers! It looks from your sig though that you have found a work around on your international version. Are they really that different, that need entirely separate instructions. Obviously I downloaded all of the suggested software for Sprint and followed Sprint suggested, but I'm frustrated because I simply don't understand how I could do something the same way everyone else did and yet have it fail on me like this.
I am having the exact same problem...at first i was able to flash 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hltetmo.img.tar and it would boot my phone back to normal. I have now run into this problem again and my first original fix isn't working anymore. If I can figure out a way I will definitely let you know!

I figured out what to do, use odin 3.9 and flash this, it took about 15 minutes to go through the whole process. Once my phone boot up it froze at the T-Moble logo or whatever, so I waited like 20 minutes and then powered it off, went into recovery and did a factory reset which then solved all my problems. I lost root, but no big deal to me. Better than buying a new phone!!! Btw the only place I could find this file is off sammobile.com. You have to sign up for a free membership thing but at least they give you the stock firmware.

First time Android user. I jailbroke several iphones in the past but just learning about rooting. I just did the towelroot, now what????
What is cyanogenmod? Do I need it?
Thanks for everyone who helps out!
Download rom manager from play store and use it to flash a custom recovery.. It should be simple
After that you can flash cyanogenmod which is a ROM that changes your phones interface to almost stock android with some added features

oh right cwm doesn't support S5 yet. anyway there's another recovery other than cwm you can use which is twrp.. download goomanager from playstore and use it the same way to install twrp
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
As far as I know the ATT S5 has a locked boot loader and hence cannot use custom recoveries or ROMs. For now you are stuck with the ROM you have. You are able to modify your ROM now though.

Two things you should consider..
First of all, if you install a custom kernel/recovery, it will void your warranty (this is called as tripping the KNOX flag). Currently, this is something that you cannot fix by yourself and if your phone breaks Samsung may or may not fix it. But that doesn't actually matter since your phone is on ATT and that one is bootloader locked anyway (which means that currently you cannot flash that recovery anyway).
Second thing is that currently CM11 is pretty broken and some features like GPS and Camera aren't working. It will take some time before people manage to iron out all the bugs and even then it might not be perfect.
My advice is that you should first try to get familiar with the phone and then start thinking about modifying it since you aren't used to Android phones. While rooting might give you some functionality you normally wouldn't have, it's not really something that you'll absolutely need. Even out of the box Android is still way more capable and customizable than iOS and most of that stuff doesn't need rooting.
I rooted my phone with towelroot. I wanted to install cyanogen so I went to the site. I couldn't find my device driver so I tried the US Cellular. (btw I have cwm recovery 6.0.4.7). I went into recovery mode and press backup and restore. I saw an error message but i ignored it. So then I wiped data and factory reset. I tried to install Cyanogen through install zip. I installed it but when I went to reboot phone it rebooted back to recovery. It does that every time.

Your stock ROM is here. If you want to install a custom ROM afterward, you need to make sure the custom ROM will actually work on the Straight Talk Galaxy S4. Keep in mind that there are some thirty different variants of the Galaxy S4. The ROMs in this forum are geared towards the I9500 series international phones as well as the I9505G Google Edition phone. These ROMs may not be built with the Straight Talk S4 in mind, as it's a minor variant compared to the I9505.

Thanks! I started download like 5 minutes ago and it's 0.1/1.3 GB downloaded. Can you send me it through mediafire or something?. Also can you send me a link to a Cyanogen Mod for Straight Talk S4
Unfortunately, you're just going to have to deal with the download speeds. For me to post the MD5 file on MediaFire, I would need to download the ROM I provided you the link to, split that file into multiple downloads of 50MB each, and host it on MediaFire. Since I do not have a Straight Talk S4 but an I9505 with a Straight Talk SIM, I think you'll understand why I'm not going to waste the time and bandwidth.
Regarding the link for a Straight Talk S4-compatible version of CyanogenMod, check the CyanogenMod website and see if someone there has made one. If they haven't, you'll have to build one yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Again, I don't have the phone, but even if I did I have no desire to run CyanogenMod on it.

Alright thank you I downloaded the ROM, installing it right now with Odin. Taking forever with system.img.ext4 but it looks like it's almost done. I'm pretty sure I have no idea how to build my own CyanogenMod for my phone. Any ROMs you consider are good and compatible with my phone?
I don't run a custom ROM, but a stock, debloated one. I would simply root the phone, debloat it using the excellent guides and tools on XDA, then install a launcher from the Play Store*. From there, make sure S-Voice is disabled in the Touchwiz launcher so you can use Google keywords ("OK Google") and enjoy your phone.
*I use the Google Now Launcher because of its "swipe to the right" access to the Google Now cards, but there are other very good alternatives to the GNL. Nova Launcher and Apex come to mind.
You said you installed a rom, does it work? Can u link me to the website you found it at? Also, the recovery you used?

I want to root my phone which I found towel route which I I downloaded but its not really working, which I found out is due to bootloader being locked. so I decided what I needed to do was unlock the bootloader but I'm reading all these forums which are talking about roms and I have no idea what that is. I was wondering if someone could kind of walk me through this a little bit like talk about it n smaller not so technical terms because I don't really understand it. I know some coding and a lot of the technical know-how but I've never really worked with phones and really deep programming I guess. I'm sure I could figure it out if someone explained it.

Here's a video that might help a little. It's sort of old, but depending on which version of android you're on it'll probably help you get root access at the very least
What firmware version are you on? If you're on newer firmware the vid the other guy linked to is not going to work for you. There are tutorials in the general forum that can help you.

Galaxy s4
I was able to root my phone using towel root, then I disabled Knox with supersu. I wanted to remove all the bloat wear so I thought getting a new rom would do it (I've been researching) and I tried that three times but it keeps resetting my phone to factory settings. What am I doing wrong? I tried CM and that pacman one. I really like the aok(whatever letter) one but it's not compatible with my phone. I have a galaxy s4 unlocked, it's at&t but I actually have tmobile. I have all the at&t software AND tmobile crud on here. I really want it gone. I was trying to install the roms through my sd card with my phone on odis mode.

Inever got around to downloading safestrap. I thought that was something you did after you downloaded the rom. And I've never heard of the other one. It shows up with something about verification problems. I should have written it down. It took so long for my phone to turn back on.

I'm not sure what firmware version your phone is on but I'm guessing it's on a newer version where cwm or twrp recoveries are not going to work. You'll need to install safestrap and install roms with it.
