What's "secure download=enabled" in download mode

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

I was walking about Binarys (bits) you cant flash old binarys.. but you can flash recoverys or same bits even if they are from different OS versions but the bit itself is the same number.

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!

No you can't boot a lollipop firmware with marshmallow bootloader,first of all make a backup because when you downgrade you have to factory reset your phone
You can find the S5 (G900F) firmware on sammobile,go to select country and search for your country or country that have the latest lollipop build BPE3(like Italy,Germany,Spain),then when you find the firmware you want to download click on it and find the product code(for example the prouct code of the italian fimwares is ITV), now download samfirm open it,and insert: on Model SM-G900F and on Region the product code of the firmware you chose to download(check the CRC32 and Decrypt option and uncheck binary nature because it will include userdata partition,useless in this case and also the firmware will be bigger to download) when it has finished to download extract the firmware zip,you should get a tar.md5 file out of it, download Odin,open it and insert your firmware on AP (uncheck repartition if it's checked) , now factory reset your phone from recovery(it will wipe also the internal sd so be sure to backup it) and reboot it in download mode,plug your phone in the computer , click start on odin and wait until the flashing process end,it will reboot automatically

No it will not trip knox as long as it have the proper signature: if the recovery.img and boot.img are signed from Samsung and you don't modify it because if you do the signature will become invalid(it's long to explain but if you want i'll explain it) it's impossible that knox will be tripped

broken I9505 after downgrand from 6.0, looking for 3 files repair rom

Dear Friends,
I would kindly ask for help on my I9505. I got it with android 5.0 or 5.1 if I remember. After a while i flash it with crdroid 6.0. Almost everything was working fine, except bluetooth. I decided to back to oryginal rom, because there wasn't any problems. I flashed stock 5.0 for Poland, did the factory restart because got a botloop and finally it started.
but - there is no IMEI right now. When i type *#06# there is "none" and i can't reach any network. I tried to install some 4.4.2 but failed in odin at the start and it's botloop again.
I read a lot of here on xda but can't find right solution for me, also can't find 3 files room to install modem there. Please let me know what i can do. Thank You

Where did you get the stock ROM? You confirmed the model # in download mode is gt-i9505?

Thank U for reply. Yes it's a I9505 there You have what's on the screen in download mode.
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
KONOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KONOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSD...: 0X30
WRITE PROTETION: Enable
eMMC... mode enabled
Sorry but i downloaded and tested few roms and right now im consfused which one i installed - just simply downloaded from somwhere on xda

I wanted check what's going on right now and when i turn on device i got the screen "firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" - but Kies don't see the phone - just stuck on connecting

anyone could help plz?

The firmware can be flashed using Odin when the phone is showing the "firmware enountered an error" screen.
Download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash it on Odin.

lol i flashed once the last rom for my I9505 and wasn't work but it wasn't from sammobile.com (same name file but maybe was corrupted). Right now i downloaded lastest rom from sammobile.com, flashed with Odin and it finally works! Thanks a milion! Topic to close
