If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

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

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!

Hi..
Subject: Installing the custom recovery and latest cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
A few details :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 running on stock rom Android version 4.4.2 and the build Number is N900XXUDND1. It is an Indian version.
I rooted my phone via Odin cfautoroot successfully but was not unable to load custom recovery cwm since the phone would go blank and stuck in boot loop.
I had to reinstall the stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin but could not install custom recovery via Odin and again stuck in boot loop . I reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 and tried installing custom recovery via flashify me app but again the phone went blank although I could go to download mode but stuck in boot loop.
I again reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 via odin but later I could not even root my phone via Odin!!..so I rooted my phone via king root app successfully and then changed it to supersu me root successfully without a problem.
Now the problem is I want to load custom recovery in order to load Cyanogenmod.
I tried installing cwm recovery via the clockworkmod app but it does not recognize my device officially.
I tried installing custom recovery via twrp app but getting error there also.
Now this is the info I see when I am in download mode:
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A4
Is the bootloader locked in my device? Is this the reason I am unable to load custom recovery? I don't even know how to check the present status lock/unlock status of bootloader
I want to load custom recovery(cwm or twrp) and load the latest cyanogenmod at the earliest and I would appreciate if I can get step by step details of doing so.
Is it possible to do this without using a computer?...
Thanking you...
You do not need to root the phone before installing a custom ROM. You can install a custom recovery using Odin.
Some good info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-root-note-3-sm-n900-5-0-install-t3069670

.... Hi.. Thank for replying so soon...
I checked the link you provided but it is all about rooting only.. As mentioned earlier, I rooted my phone and confirmed the same via root checker app. Now I just want to install cwm/twrp recovery and then go ahead and install cyanogenmod...

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.
