Hi there,
Long time lurker on the forums here, and have been browsing around the whole day to find a solution to my problems without luck .
Yeasterday I received my Galaxy Note 3 (N900T), but I had very poor reception, I thought this was because the N900T was appearantly a US model which I wasn't aware of, but since hardware was the same I decided a custom rom might fix things up.
I installed the latest CM 11 nightly and appropriate google apps but without any luck (reception still bad)
Then I decided to install the origional 4.4.2 firmware for T-mobile N900T, now the reception and everything works just fine, but I get a bunch of errors that google app x (youtube, playstore etc) have stopped working, so I get alot of these pop-ups and can't use the playstore.
I thought: Ok I just need to install the latest Gapps for the 4.4.2 version, there's where the problem comes in. When I booted into recovery it would boot into the standard android recovery and not CWM recovery. I couldn't do anything in the normal recovery mode to install gapps. So I managed to download the rom manager through my browser and just installed that without the playstore, after this i installed the recovery, found out my root was undone after the patch.
I then downloaded the chainfire thingy and flashed it with odin, which all worked fine and I managed to root my phone again. When opening SuperSU it says there was some 'KNOX thingies remaining which I said ok take away. After this I installed the CWM recovery, and said: Launch ClockworkMod recovery so I could install the new version of Gapps there. However: This is where it gets stuck in a loop trying to launch the bootloader, and I was unable to get into the bootloader. The only way to stop the bootloader loop was to take out the battery, boot into download mode and cancel the download mode after which my phone would continue to boot normally.
After this I tried to flash the 4.3 version of android with odin, and even reflashing the current 4.4.2 version, but I can't flash any roms with odin anymore as it gives me the Fail! Auth. error everytime in odin.
If anybody could help me that would be greatly appreciated!
Just to clarify:
I am still working on this, I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP recovery, but no luck, my phone will simply get stuck in a loop when i try to boot it into recovery. I can still startup my phone normally, but it's quite useless without gapps.
Thanks in advance for any assistance, I really feel lost on this one :/
Maybe its too late but I wonder if it would have helped if you install another kernel when you had CM11. Maybe that would have had solve the problems with the reception? I'm a total noob at this, so I don't know, its just something that I thought of.

Not sure but when i upgraded my N9006 to KitKat and tried to root it using cf-auto-root for my phone it went into a boot loop. I ended up using the one designed for N9005 as it specifically stated it was made for the 4.4 boot loader. I'm guessing the other ones are for 4.3?

I managed to flash the philz recovery with odin, I got the phone working now, except when I make a call I'll loose all mobile network signal afterwards. Unsure how to solve this. Could I flash a European stock firmware to my n900t?
Hi Guys
I believe you guys on here will be able to help. Let me first tell you about my device and what I want to do and then what I did and what problems I encountered.
Device: Samsung Note 4 International Model SM-N910H (Exynos CPU)
OS: 6.0.1
Build Number: MMB29K.N910HXXU2DPE2
I only want to root my device and install Custom Recovery like CWM. I don't want to install a Custom ROM!
So I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-tre3g-tre3gxx-smn910h.tar.md5 and used Odin 3.12 to flash tar file to phone. After that phone rebooted and got stuck into the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" Screen displaying in red letters on top left Corner "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
So I downloaded CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6.tar and flashed with Odin again, this time the phone rebooted back into my Working Phone OS and all seems fine. SO I wanted to test if CWM is installed? Powered phone down and booted into recovery & then got the same "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on screen, so rebooted phone normally and it goes back into the OS. Also SuperU is not installed and phone is not rooted
So how do I solve this issue getting a Custom Recovery on my Phone Since I don't have any Recovery Mode option when booting into recovery. Your help, effort and time will be appreciated
Try again your steps and using odin both times make sure reboot is not ticked. After the flash pull the battery. There is a remark about that somewhere.
I had the same problem with my n9100 and at the end flashed custom rom to solve this. But my phone is slightly different to yours.
Thanks a mil, however I did manage to fix the issue and still wanted to resolve this post. I downloaded SuperU Beta 2.74 and different version of CWM. Installed CWM 6.0.5.1 (1113).tar with Odin 3.10.7 and it worked installing CWM Recovery. Then installed the SuperU 2.74 with CWM and everything works great. Phone now rooted and CWM installed :good::victory::victory:
******** Resolved ************

I have the n9100 as well with the hong kong rom. I'm having the same problem while trying to root with cf-autoroot. I really want to root the phone while keeping the stock rom.
Is there any way to do so??
I have Note 4 model N910H firmware 5.1.1 and I rooted it using chainfire method. I checked using root checker and it says my phone was rooted properly. So I install TWRP latest recovery using flashify. The phone rebooted to recovery mode fine but it says that my phone not rooted so I'm confused and I let TWRP rooted it again. After that I reboot to system and I can't enter it instead it was stuck looping samsung and android logo.
So, what can I do? I can enter TWRP recovery and download mode. I know I can flash it to stock 5.1.1 but I dont know what version to use from SamMobile (XID/XSE, I'm from Indonesia) and there's different PDA/CSC version. So if I just pick one of them and flash it to my phone will it be okay? I want to avoid flashing to be honest because the rom size is so big so is there's a way to fix it without flashing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hey guys. I'm trying to update my TWRP recovery but now I get the yellow triangle when to put the phone into recovery and lock icon before booting. I'm currently running 7.1.1 octos rom. The phone can boot fine but I don't have any working recovery right now. I tried using odin to flash several tar twrps but it constantly fails. I've used several cables too and 2 pc's to rule out connection problems but still the same. I'm out of ideas right now. I don't want to go flashing back to stock rom if I can get a working recovery thru odin. Thank you....
P.S. I tried to update my TWRP supposedly to 3.1. . . as it is preferred for flashing lineage oreo rom that's when my recovery goes bad.
Try reinstalling the TWRP that was working. It seems like the new TWRP isn't too compatible with our phones on the MDL bootloader. You might have to ODIN back to stock to fix it.
I tried flashing this N920C (turkish) device with several version of TWRP and can't get it to boot.
I've tried twrp-3.3.1-0-noblelte version, and then read that someone also had boot loops and to try the twrp-3.3.1-0-nobleltezt version for the N920C
still no joy, I've also tried older version 3.0.0 nobleltezt, stilll bricked. boot hangs on the Samsung fading in and out.
Currently downloading what I hope is the correct stock firmware from sammobile to extract a hopefully working recovery from there.
Any ideas what is a known working twrp for this device?
Thankfully the device was easily recovered using ODIN with N920CXXU5CRL3_N920COJV4CRB3_N920CXXU5CRL1_HOME.tar.md5 downloaded from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-5/firmware/#SM-N920C
I'd like to know what twrp or other recovery I can use with this device?
