Warning do noit use this Odin Method

Hello all, instructions for rooting Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9006 on this forum are totally INVALID and will BRICK your SM-N9006 phone.

I bricked my phone once already following these exact instructions. I am experienced rooting Android devices (not my first Android phone I rooted) and an IT professional.

Problems with this guide:

Odin 3.09 DOES NOT HAVE A "PDA" BUTTON like in Odin 3.07

Samsung just released a new firmware version, I assume the MD5 file has not been updated to match the firmware

I recovered my phone using Samsung's recovery process. Now the phone will not go into "download mode" using the key combinations; Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button

The phone will only go into something called "recovery mode" with the same key combination "Volume Up + Power + Home"...and you can't do anything from this mode except a factory reset in Kies.(recovering this way also disables the previous "download mode" key combination)

If you have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9006 running the latest firmware version DISREGARD THIS TUTORIAL the author hasn't even used the latest version of Odin 3.09 or he would know there isn't a "PDA" button Dah! The older version 3.07 helped me brick my phone.

I suggest anyone acting all "expert" like on these forums actually try your own instructions on your own phone, you paid for personally before misleading new forum users.

who use odin 3.xx?

i used odin 1.85 for my n9005

anyway

so how can we boot into download mode if we have this chinese factory mode

i guess flashing by recovery is not possible?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] locn:
Nothing wrong with Odin 3.09. Put the file in AP.

I rooted mine fine with URDL method then went on to install CWM and Gapps so I now have a fully functioning Note 3.

If you have N9006 then it shouldn't matter if you trip knox as I'm assuming you're not in china and won't be able to get warranty anyway.

Here's how I did it.

Hey!

I have problem with my Note 3 SM-N9006 ( Build number JSS15J.N9006ZCUBMI5 ) When I try to get phone to the download mode ( When phone power is off I press Volume Down, Power button and home button same time ) First it shows text "Factory Mode" And then appers chinese text. ( NOT that warning message ) You'll find pictures from henkkaq . kuvat . fi / kuvat / Note3 / ( wihtout spaces ) Forum didn't let me link those pictures..

And is it possible to use N9005XXUDMK2 ROM files for these phones? I would like to have that one, because these chinese ROM's doesn't have all features.

Thank you!

Mate are you sure you don't have the N9006 clone? they are very hard to tell apart. there's a few forums on here that help to tell it apart. things like installing applications to check the speed. but check your pen. does it hover over the screen? and does it have a button on it?

Ah.. yeah this might be the clone version... Pen is very bad and there isn't any buttons on it.. Is there any way to root it? :(

Hi Michael,

I am pretty new to this forum and I seriously need assistance with a phone which I seem to regret after purchasing. I have been facing all sort of problems ever since I have bought this device. Sorry.

Let me get to the point,

First of all, thank you for writing an awesome post.

I would request for an assistance. I recently got SM9006 from an online merchant. There was an issue with the IMEI, its a fake one, I tried using Mobileuncle and had successfully replaced it with my old iPhone's IMEI, it worked fine for a day and reverted back to the original one. So I believe it could be due to soft change of the IMEI, and tried replacing the MP0B_001 file by generating using imei, and after replacing the IMEI file with the original one, my phone is under continuous loop rebooting process. I tried to boot into factory mode, download mode, recovery mode, infact tried every whole process available online, but to no vain. Non of the combination seems to work like hold power volume up and home, volume down power and home, power and volume up. Yes, interestingly, if you hold volume up and power, it shows boot option inverted and says volume up to navigate option and volume down to select, but volume down does nothing.

It reboots, stays for like 5 secs and then reboots again. Could you please help me get out of this.

I understand the original IMEI file was 120 bytes and the new file was only 22 bytes, I think that was the problem.

But at the moment I need help in getting out of this reboot loop situation. Appreciate your response.

[Video] Upgrade to KitKat Root using CF-Auto-Root and TWRP and Gapps 4.4.2

Hi all

I've just gone through and upgraded my SM-N9006 to KitKat, then rooted it using chainfire's CF-Auto-Root, installed TWRP and Gapps for 4.4.2 bootloader. Everything is running very smooth and have noticed better battery life.

Here are the videos going through in details the steps to follow.

Things to note are:

must use CF-Auto-Root for N9005

using CF-Auto-Root for N9006 will cause boot loop

must use Gapps 4.4 MICRO

using the mini or larger package will error with not enough space

Hope this helps!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] neehow:
Thanks for posting this! It would have been great if this part about using the N9005 CF-Auto-root was added to the OP. We continued to get the boot loop because we used the N9006 CF-Auto-root. I wish I would have come across your post earlier. Thanks dude!

We can finally boot into recovery mode, but the problem we (I'm trying to remotely help a friend get root and add GAPPs to her N9006) have now is we can't get a proper root. CF-Auto-root loads fine in Odin, giving the device a green "RESET" message after completion, but when we open up joeykrim's Root Checker, it yields "Sorry, this device does not have proper root access." Any ideas?

no need to install cfautoroot.zip

install the CWM by odin, and then go in the recovery mode, then flash supersu.zip, and the job is done. no need to flash cfautoroot.zip

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

immediately closing of Google applications occur if the rooting is not complete. check the root by root checker and reroot if needed. or the problem may be in the gapps.zip package. download 3_22_GApps_Minimal_4.4.2_signed.zip or 3_22_GApps_Standard_4.4.2_signed.zip from XDA and flash. works good.

and for rooting, you can install CWM via odin, and then flash supersu in the recovery mode, that does the job. No need to flash CF autoroot.

Try this.

Apparently you can with Jelly Bean not sure about Kit Kat but as long as you use the Kit Kat bootloader don't see why it shouldn't work.

look here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2686376

From what i understand it's a Snapdragon 800 so it "should" work. Obviously do it at your own risk.

If you do it and it works make sure to report back so it can help others too.

help rooting plz

hey guys,

1st of all thanks for all your effort in assisting the community.:good:

i am rooting my note 3 using your instructions

N9006ZCUEND1

kit kat 4.4.2

after the step when i get the pass by odin

i unplug my phone, shut it off to reboot it in recovery mode

the problem is:

when i press volume up and the power button

the phone starts and the blue recovery warning appears for a sec

but then the phone shuts down and restarts normaly , no recoverry mode.

and this only happens after i use odin

when i did a factory reset, the phone went to recovery mode (vol up, power) easily! wtfffff, lol

any suggestions?

it sounds like you might be using the wrong version of cf-auto-root? i had to use the N9005 version for kitkat otherwise it would go into bootloop.

Hi. If you want to root through framaroot your device should be in that list framaroot net/devices.html (put the dot between framaroot net)

If your device is in it. You must:

1. Download Framaroot from framaroot net/index.html (put the dot between framaroot net)

2. Run, choose Superuser or SuperSU

3. Select Boromir or another character (these are the method to root the device)

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere so I thought i would mention that I just upgraded to Lollipop and rooted and installed TWRP and everything is running well!

Had to do a fair bit of reading to make sure but both the latest CF-Auto-Root and TWRP works fine with lollipop even though they don't actually state it.

Hi Oopeteroo
