Busted...

This did not work for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T).

The first phone I tried it on, I didn't have USB debugging turned on, so I bricked it. Not even Kies could restore the phone.

I then got another Note 3 and first turned on USB debugging mode, then tried this again--locked my phone, failed on ODIN.

This sucks :-\

EDIT EDIT EDIT!

USE A WINDOWS MACHINE, NOT A MAC WITH VMWARE! I JUST DID AND WAS ABLE TO GET THINGS WORKING.. WOOhoo!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dipole:
ODIN failed, now my tmobile device says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. " Can anyone help via PM?

N9005 worked like a charm here in the uk... barely took a minute, love it :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kingkesi:
Wow they really hid it in this phone. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Shamms:
I desperately wanted to ROOT my mobile for removing bloatware, but now I think I will wait till some senior ROM makers like Omega comes out with a ROM for N900, Once new rom is out I will ROOT my mobile. Till then wait and watch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kentykentkent:
Thanks for the instructions, seems the exact same way I rooted the s3.

Are there a lack of ROM''s because the device is so new or because people aren't planning on developing them ?

:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] red_brindle:
Have you tried to do this step before flashing?

* Enable USB Debugging Mode on phone to connect it with computer and use Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and check USB Debugging Mode.]:o
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] neoKushan:
They didn't hide it, that's an android thing since JB I think.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] GhorX:
Please don't hide conversation about theme-related things to PMs - in many cases is your problem nonspecific only for you. And OTA updates was been mentioned in this thread as "can be problematic", so ignore them and use KIES and cable. Original cable. And remember - rooting will be probably needed after update again.

Why do I keep losing root? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hey_joe:
Are you flashing something or root just doesn't work anymore without you doing anything?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cousinit99:
Why can't someone just modify the stock recovery so that the "WARRANTY BIT: 0" element is STATIC? Regardless of whether the knox bit is tripped, it would say it wasn't... Leave everything else the same so that it looks and operates exactly like the real one.. Is this a completely ridiculous notion? Are these Samsung arseharts going to re-flash the stock recovery on every phone sent in for warranty repair??
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
:(

i did a ****ty thing

i backed up my stock rom in /sdcard instead of /extsdcard and lost my backup when i i did wipe data in CWM to install new rom!

i want to know if i can get he stock rom again online for my not 3 SM-N900!! ??

PLS HELP! :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Check sammobile.com where I got mine for n900w8
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
where on sammobile in the forums firmware?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Type your device name in where it has a search that says "search device here"
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
Thanks got it doing it right now but is it possible to use some other country's SMn900 firmware ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
It should list every countries fitmware that supports that model number.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
Yes it does support my model number and firmware just of a different country eg. My original firmware was from middle east and had 4.3 but the same model number firmware of India has 4.4.2 so i thought why not download the indian firmware instead of the middle eastern!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
As long as it's the same model number. It should work. As I have Canadian n900w8 which only has 4.3 but mexico has 4.4.2 on the n900w8 and I can flash the Mexican.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
I believe you can wipe/format data, system, cache and dalvik without wiping storage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
I have succesfully installed the indian firmware of 4.4.2

But now i cant get the adobe flash player 10.1 as the site says my device doesnt support it!

This is ridiculous......if note 3 cant support which other phone can????lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Fizie:
sorry for my noob question.. but i cant find my PDA button on odin3.09 it only have BL,AP,CP,Csc and unclickable UMS so which one should i choose
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It should look like this - Where did you download Odin from?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Fizie:
hee thank you.. i also not sure coz this odin is version 3.09 and when i look around it seems AP button is equal to the PDA button.. now waiting for Foxhound to be updated! :D

Having same fc issues. Touch wiz and play store keep fcing. I did backup uninstall then re install the magazine tho. Fixed touchwiz but Can't download any apps. Help please. do I need to go back to stock? [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION].
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I don't think that your problems have anything to do with Root - If you're on TW - Did you flash a Rom - or did you only Root your device?

If you Flashed a custom Rom - Did you verify that the download was good?

If you flashed a Rom - Did you Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches?

If you flashed an AOSP Rom - Did you flash the correct Gapps?

You need to provide more information....Because it's hard to know exactly what you did ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mario12688:
No rom just root and twrp.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Did you change the DPI?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mario12688:
I don't know what that is so I'm guessing no. Lol

Rooted out of box brand new SM900T. Cf auto root went great! Then touchwiz and Google play started fcing. It was however after i started uninstalling my mag and good Google play mags movies music.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Removing My Mag is the reason of your problems. You can't even deactivate/freeze it without facing FCs.

When rooted you can hibernate it thoug by installing "Greenify" app.

Edit. You need Exposed Module to run Greenify to hibernate System apps

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Sammobile.com/firmwares type your device in "search device here" voila.

Did it for my n900w8. And flashed it. So confirmed works.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adityaiyerq:
after i changed my firmware i didnt get my root access so i went back in downloading mode and followed the cf root process then it got stuck at cache and didnt go forward so i removed my battery and started my phone it said and i quote"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" ...

wat do i do now?

pls HELP needed ...

I got it booting but it is just showing the samsung logo and the blue light
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Can you boot into recovery - If you can - Factory Reset & reboot.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Scann69:
After upgrading to 4.4.2, i lost root so now i finally decided to screw knox and root my note 3.

One question....it should not wipe my phone data by just running CF-Auto-Root right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
It will not wipe anything. Just adds supersu.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJ2525:
After doing this root, do I just have to install rom manager and have it install a custom recovery for me or is it more complex to have a custom recovery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I'd personally Use Odin to flash TWRP for your device first - Then make a backup - and Then look around for what you want.. But that's just me ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
^^^^+100

The backup is the most important thing you do. I'd personally make two as I've had one backup in the past that was corrupt and unusable. If I didn't have another it would have been a long night of figuring out what the flip to do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] en11gma:
people at teamuscellular in the note 3 forum are saying this works on the SM-N900R4

is this true?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] toygixxer69:
Just got my Note 3. I'm on 4.3 running on version MI7. Should i use CF-Root or Universal de la Vega if i don't wanna trip Knox? CF-Root seems easier than Vega.

CF-AutoRoot will trip your Knox counter.

Boot loop after CF Root install

After installing the latest firmware 4.4.2 on my SM-N900S and installing the CF-root my phone stucks in boot loop. Only way to get it fixed is reinstalling the firmware. Any idea how to fix that problem and having the device rooted? Appriciate any support
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Are you using the proper auto root file? Ones for 4.4.2 ones for 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
I'm using the same as last time I guess it's 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
If I understand correctly. You have rooted before when on 4.3. You just recently updated to 4.4.2 and are now trying to root it, again. You are using the same file as you did prior to the 4.4.2 OTA? if this is true. Your trying to flash the old bootloader root file. Find the newer version and things should be smooth sailing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Nope I'm using the latest file of which the link is indicated in the third post.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Alright. Someone else will hopefully chime in for you. I'm not sure what's causing the issue. If you've got the right file. Its beyond my expertise. Sorry my friend. Best of luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Thanks anyway mate!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I'm guessing that you can get the device into Download Mode (you indicated that you could "fix" it by flashing the stock firmware?).

Did you try to use Odin to flash a recovery? If you did - Boot into recovery and try Factory Reset.

On a side note - If people are using CF auto root - They presumably don't care about Knox - That being the case & if your intention is to flash a custom Rom - People can forego the Rooting process all together - Use Odin to flash TWRP - Download the custom Rom (they're all pre-rooted) download the Gapps (if you're going for AOSP) - Boot into recovery - Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches - Flash the Rom (and Gapps if AOSP) - Done ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Yep I used Odin but when it reboots there pops up a message on the left upper screen for second and it reboots again. I pulled the battery and tried to get into recovery mode but it won't work it reboots as above described. Hence I could only get into the dl mode.

Very sadly there is no no custom rom for my Korean note 3 :crying: but thanks for ur reply
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] glos7777:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
How about the usb debug mode and ractivation lock? Still as it should be after updating to 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Thanks for ur support mate but don't get the point!:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The point being - Did you ensure that you have set the Reactivation Lock to Off - Did you ensure that you have USB Debugging enabled... Before you use CF AUTO ROOT ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
USB debugging was enabled but how to set the Reactivation Lock to Off? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It's been a while since I ran TW - But if I remember correctly - The Reactivation Lock is in Settings - Security...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Yep just found it and it was not ticked hence off :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] glos7777:
hi my friend.. which model you rooted kitkat 4.4.2 n900 or n9005 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Failed in rooting my SM-N900S

So I tried to root my device again after flashing the 4.2.2. So what happens is after flashing the CF-root the device outo reboots into recovery mode and then a message pops up saying RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and in a second line SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY and then it reboots. I can't go manually into recovery. The only way is to boot into dl mode and ref lash the latest firmware. Any idea is much appreciated
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The two lines of messages are normal.

Did you use Odin to flash a custom recovery?

If you didn't - Do so now.

After boot into the Custom Recovery & Factory Reset - Wipe Cache and Dalvik - Reboot - Make a Nandroid of the stock Rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Use cf auto root. It only adds root to your device. Download mode flash cf auto root. On completion It should load to touch wiz. Then go back to download mode. Flash a custom recovery (I recommend twrp) when complete then phone will reboot to touch wiz. You should then still have root privliges plus a custom recovery installed. Then boot into recovery make a backup. ( make 2 in case one fails (I've had them fail before)) then your ready to start your flashing addiction.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
I used the latest Odin! I can't boot into Custom recovery. If I press the related buttons it only goes into the boot loop showing the 3 lines I indicated in my previous post. I can only boot into dl modus Thx mate

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

Ok will give that one a try thx mate
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 12gage:
I apologize for the ignorant question, I just got my Note today and can't wait to root. I have an N900P which came with 4.3, an update is available, can I take the OTA (which I figure is KitKat) and still use AutoRoot? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] glos7777:
is this very difficult question ? I am repeating for 5-6 page but no one answered it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I don't know if it'll work - Is your device listed in the OP?

Is it the International Exynos version or Qualcomm?

I'm guessing that you didn't receive any reply, because people don't want to give you incorrect information... Better stock unrooted than Bricked ☺
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] glos7777:
I have n900 international version.. Now I am On 4.3 stock cfautoroot.. if this root work on 4.4.2 russia I will upgrade to 4.4.2 and flash root
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
I'm unsure about the Russian models. I. As shaggy said. Didn't wanna give out false info. I'd Google it some note. And ifnyou can't find anything. Either brave it and try. (Can always flash stock 4.3 for your model and be back in business. Or. Stay on 4.3 rooted. Or 4.4.2 unroofed.

Stuck in a loop "Recovery is not samadoin enforcing

I'm able to get out of the boot loop but SUperSU never installs. I've tried pulling the battery and manually putting into recovery as suggested in post 2 but still no luck. I haven't taken the OTA yet so I'm still on 4.3, I think I got the most recent file from Chainfire's site, any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Are you sure you have the most recent file for 4.3 and not for 4.4?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Exactly the same problem I have described some posts before. :crying: If ur stuck in boot loop pull battery, start ur device in download mode and flash latest stock version with Odin, thats what I did!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 12gage:
I'm not sure, I just took it from CF's site. Do you know where I can find the 4.3 file? Or should I take the OTA and then use the file I have?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Try flashing root in Odin. Then rebooting when you get stuck boot into recovery and factory reset.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

I wouldn't take the ota. It limits what you can flash in terms of ROMs and kernels. I knky have the auto root for my n90w8 variant.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 12gage:
I just got my phone yesterday, I thought this process would be easy due to youtube clips etc I've seen but maybe I wasn't as read up as I should've been. I just saw a "Stock or engineering" bootloader thread. Do I need to flash the engineering bootloader before trying this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
I don't know what the difference is. I'm assuming ones the ota version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cbernie:
Mate that's exactly the problem after flashing the CF auto root I'm stuck in the loop. I can't get into recovery mode!! Only into down loaD MODE!!!

boot loop error and this as a fix

Hi There,

I have a 9005 international Note 3. One day it started getting stuck in a boot loop. I could not enter recovery and tried a bunch of different troubleshoot solutions. I could however enter download mode. finally I decided to try and root using this method, hoping i could then install a custom recovery. the cache part of this worked, then when it booted into recovery it froze on the GN3 boot screen and says

"recovery booting

recovery is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit : recovery"

depending on which version 'old or new' of odin I use, it either freezes on this screen (new version) or boot loops with this screen (old version).

wondering if you had any idea on how i may be able to actually get into recovery?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The bit that you have in quotes is normal.... recovery booting.. seanandroid... setbit...

Did you use Odin to flash a Custom Recovery to boot into?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bobojones:
Yup, I used Odin both to (attempt to) root and to install twrp. Was not able to fully root though as I got stuck on recovery screen when I tried.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Ok - If you've got TWRP installed properly - Just make a nandroid of the stock Rom - Download the Rom (+Gapps if AOSP) - Boot into recovery - Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches - Flash Rom (They are all Rooted) - Flash Gapps (if AOSP) - Reboot - Done.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
The latest link in the OP is for 4.4 bootloaders. If you're on 4.3 you must follow the link provided for 4.3 in the OP instead.

You do not need any engineering BL.

If you flash the wrong file you'll get bootloop and can't go recovery mode because CF-Auto-Root contains stock recovery and when you flash wrong file your recovery will also get to be wrong and will not work.

Only way to go is to flash the right cf-autoroot file to get root and to get back the stock recovery. You can also flash custom recovery, but root will then be broken.

Remember the usb debugging in phone settings/dev.options.

If you get nothing to work, flash stock firmware and you will be back to start

It is important to reed the OP carefully
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bobojones:
