Which carrier? What Rom do you want to Flash?

If TWRP is available for your device - and bootloader - Flash TWRP with Odin - Boot into recovery (The first time that I boot into TWRP Recovery from stock TW - TWRP Asks if you want to install superuser - Say "yes") - Backup your stock Rom - Flash the Custom Rom and Gapps if you're flashing an AOSP Rom - ie SlimKat from slimroms.net

If you're flashing a TW based Rom - you just flash the Rom as Gapps are included.

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]: I'm using T-Mobile Germany but I bought it contract free from amazon so I should'nt have a branding. So I just use all things for Note 3 LTE International (N9005). So I have to flash the twrp(etc).tar file in Odin, right?

I plan to flash this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-galaxy-s5-stock-rom-final-fast-clean-t2888215

I want to download TWRP from this site http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hlte . But I only find .zip and .img.tar. So which one is the right one?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Flash the hlte version of TWRP with Odin - Flash the Rom and enjoy ;)

You can find the img.tar file here;

You can't flash the zip file with the stock recovery so you have to use Odin.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
I tried to flash but nothing happened. Odin said RESET instead of PASS. Then I reinstalled Kies but now I cant start odin with administrator rights. Everytime a Odin window with korean language pops up. When I reinstalled Odin it worked but it won't install the recovery. It hangs up with writing the NAND and the phone restarts and it says "REMOVED" although it didn't do anything.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Uninstall Kies - Kies & Odin don't play well together.

You have USB Debugging enabled? You have Reactivation lock turned OFF?

Pull the battery - reinsert the battery - DO NOT turn the phone on - Boot directly into Download Mode.

You have the Samsung USB Drivers installed on your pc?

Is Odin still in Korean?

If you need them - Here's the Samsung USB Drivers

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
Okay, CF Auto Root worked. But when I tried to flash TWRP after that with Odin 3.0.9 it didn't work. Shall I use 3.0.7 for TWRP also? I'm using Windows 7 64bit

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]: I uninstalled Kies and installed the drivers you send me. I also reinstalled Odin 3.0.9. Now I started it and connected the mobile in Download mode and Windows is installing device drivers? Maybe it has something to do with Odin 3.0.9?

I tried it again now but it still just reboots and Odin says RES OK and REMOVED.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Do you know which bootloader version you're running - 4.3 or 4.4?

That's the only reason why flashing TWRP with Odin would fail.... There's two versions of TWRP on the hlte techerrata.com page - 4.3 & 4.4 bootloader builds - If you tried to flash the 4.4 version on a 4.3 bootloader it will fail.

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
@ shaggyskunk: Maybe that's the problem. How can I get into the Bootloader with a Samsung device? I only know how to go into download mode...:rolleyes:

[/COLOR [MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]: I tried it with 4.3 of TWRP, too. It didn't work. Same problem with Odin..

Thanks for your answers! Do you know any other solution that may fix this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You don't get into the bootloader - you only need to know which version you have 4.3 is the older version 4.4 is the current version

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
As I said I also tried it with the 4.3 version. It didn't work. My AP ends with GNG1 so I don't have the new bootloader. I saw in the Download mode that Qualcomm secure boot is enabled. Is this maybe the cause of the problem? Or should I deactivate KNOX (SuperSu wants that).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Knox isn't going to work after anyway.

Exactly what twrp file are you trying to flash?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
What do you have checked off in Odin?

Try unchecking auto reboot - Flash twrp - wait for the box to turn green - unplug the phone - pull the battery - reinsert the battery - press Power +Home + Vol UP at the same time.... And hold until you see the Samsung logo -then release the buttons you should then see the blue Team Win screen.

I didn't change anything. Just the standard settings. Okay, I'll try that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I really don't know why this is being so stubborn... It usually takes less than 30 seconds to flash....

Seeing as how you have root (did you verify that you actually have root?) You could try this app from the store (I've never used it) called Flashify

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
I'll try flashing again tomorrow (don't have the time for it). Yes, I have supersu installed. But for flashing CF root I used the Odin that was in the chainfire package. It's an older version (3.0.7). Maybe I should try this version to flash TWRP? But I don't know if it's capable for that.

Maybe it has something to do with my PC and I'm only able to use the older Odin version
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It shouldn't really make any difference which version of Odin you use - But I've never had any problems with 3.09 - No harm in trying with 3.07.

Tomorrow try downloading the 2.8.0.0 TWRP hlte 4.3 from Techerrata.com And try flashing it with Odin... If you're sure that you have the 4.3 bootloader..

The file size of the open recovery is it 9.09 Meg?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
I followed your steps with unticking Auto Reboot. After I while the box went green with PASS. Then I followed your steps but I'm still not in TWRP, just in Download mode.

Edit: I'm such a BIIIIIG idiot... I now tried to install CWM and it worked. I always didn't use the combination to go into recovery, I always went into Download Mode. Can I just install TWRP now with Odin over CWM, or do I have to do something else?

Thanks so much for your help!!! Do you have any Donate account or sth.?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You can flash the twrp zip with cwm - you don't have to use Odin.

I'm very happy that you got a custom recovery installed!

No - I don't have a donate account - just help someone else who encounters the issues that you did... And have a Great day! ?

When you try to restore a backup & it gets stuck - go into Advanced in TWRP - Select Recovery Log - It will be saved to your SD card - Send it to your Dropbox & paste a link to the TWRP thread for bigbiff to review

Hi guys,

I have galaxy note 3 which I really like.

I recently decided to encrypt my phone to add another layer of security just in case if I would loose it!

It's a great peace of mind, and I don't see myself not using it.

Moreover, I love rooting my phone to gain all the extra granular control on my apps.

This hasn't been working well for me!

I can't encrypt my phone if I'm rooted "the phone reboots without encryption done"

And I can't root after encrypting the phone, as the device get soft bricked.

The only way for me to gain both is by installing AOSP Rom, which I'd love, but I'll miss out all the features that come with s-pen :(

Please help

I would like to root my phone, but also use KNOX programs and usage.

In theory I am not interested of warranty issue (hopefully so!) but

- I want to be able to use KNOX

after CF-AutoROOT will KNOX work?

I agree, I don't think OTA is possible after root. You need TriangleAway to help bypass that check. However, it doesn't work now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] neoKushan:
I'm not a dev, but I can confirm my phone is listed as "Custom" and all I did was root. I'm still using stock Kernel, ROM and recovery. Nothing else different other than root.

I believe it's because the flash counter has increased. Even switching back will not reset that, that's normally the job of triangle away but from the looks of things, Chainfire isn't having much luck getting it to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mouse100:
It's also important to understand if ota is still possible after an hypothetic triangle away. We have to remember that now there is also another counter: Knox. And maybe if Knox counter is still flagged as 0x1 ota could not work.

It's absolutely true. The moment you root, you cannot get OTAs. The only way is to ODIN back to stock, which unroots the device, and even then it may not be possible because of the counters, both the usual one and now Knox.

Having problem rooting my note 3 with CF-Auto Root

Hi,

Hope somebody can help me out here. Pls also bear with me as I am also a beginner in rooting

I have tried a few method of rooting but all failure.

I have use towel root which said device not supported.

I have use Kingo but it keep on prompting "Check Root", "Downloading requisite files", "Waiting for device" over and over again till it prompt root fail.

I have tried CF-Auto Root but Odin also prompt root fail. I downloaded the SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip

(only works on 4.4 bootloaders.

All rooting process, I have enable the Developer mode and tick the USB Debugging. I even allow "Unknow Sources" in security setting.

As for CF-Auto Root and uses Odin3_v3.08 and follow all instruction but still fail. I went into youtube to see how others do it and is what I have done. But I saw something that I have it but other don't.

When I go into download mode there is an extra statement in red saying "UDC Start". I have attached the picture under the filename UDC Start showing that statement.

I also attached the root fail screen and also my phone system info.

My firmware is SM-N9005DXUGNK1

Really appreciate if there is somebody out there that can help me.

Thanks in advance

Did you turn OFF the Reactivation Lock in Security?

Other than that - Is it your intention to flash a custom rom - or do you only want Root?

If you're planning on flashing a custom rom - Use Odin to Flash TWRP img.tar for your device - Download the Rom & Gapps (if you want AOSP) - Just the Rom if TW Based - Boot into TWRP recovery & flash the Rom - all custom Roms have root already built in - You may have to Activate root in Settings - About Phone - Click on Build number 7 times - Go to Developer Options and Root Access - Apps and ADB - Reboot
