Cf auto root boot loop

[QUOTE=

1. RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),

2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)

3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)

Hi all after flashing for several years through multiple devices I think I have my first brick. I have a CF auto boot loop. So I haven't been able to stop this from happening. I have taken battery out volume down/up plus every key combination I can think of to stop recovery boot. Unfortunately it always takes me to the red android with the eye patch to come on, then it reboots and repeats. I can't seem to get TWRP to come on or a regular boot. Thanks for any help you can give..

n00b question

Sorry for the n00b-ish question..... I've been rooting since the Touch Pro days but Im a little hesitant at this point. I just got my new Note 3 a few days ago. I'm still using my rooted Note 2, meaning I haven't activated the Note 3 yet. The Note 3 is on Android 4.4.2 and N900PVPUCNAB Baseband.

I want to root ASAP and find a smooth, debloated ROM (hopefully with a hacked native hotspot) but I'm a little confused. Can I just run CF Autoroot and flash a 4.4.2 ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You have a few choices (files linked for most)...

1. Flash NC5 tar from PC Odin, then recovery and root

-->tar in dev forum

2. Flash TWRP 2.7.0.1, goes in PDA slot

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c1snl3g6u7ucy0q/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar

3. Flash pre-rooted NC5D rom from dev section, or latest Superuser,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ka3q9a38v4mcr08/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip

Or...

1. Flash open bootloader for NC5 (goes in bootloader slot)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pck1vn1tdm56qy4/nc5firmware.tar

2. Flash NC5 Modem (goes on PDA slot),

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lw5yafhtiomeyw9/nc5baseband.tar

3. Flash pre-rooted NC5D rom

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply!! I appreciate it. I went ahead and took the OTA and now I'm on the NC5 baseband. I went ahead and used Chainfire's auto-root. so far so good...... I think :victory:

Got TWRP installed and my Knox counter is tripped. I guess we're good!

This worked nicely for me.

I odin'd CF-ROOT, let it reboot to the red guy - then when it rebooted again I waited to see if it was going to start normally; waited for start of then Samsung boot animation.

Then pulled the battery.

closed odin (I know but I like to have a clean start with odin)

booted to download mode again, restarted odin and selected my custom recovery (Philz for me) and odin'd that.

Let it restart normally, it updated android apps, started up to stock/rooted, I located SU (make sure it was there) and then I opened My Backup Pro; which asked for root access :)

now running my nand before installing Xposed and Wanam to theme the green out. Yay!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lyvewire:
I got a Note 3 yesterday after Best Buy junked my Note 2 under the old insurance plan. I ended up rooting the Note 3 using Odin 3.9 and was intending on using Kit Kat Killer rom. I used Recovery Tool to flash twrp since Odin wouldn't flash twrp. I flashed the most current twrp 2.7??. I made a backup of the stock rom wiped everything and tried flashing Kit Kat Killer zip. It didn't work and I bricked the phone. I still had recovery but in transition of flashing a different recovery, (since I know some of the more recent recoveries don't work great), I lost recovery as well and of course the backup wasnt showing up when I did. I tried using odin to flash recovery again and I'm only getting the "recovery is not seeingdroid" black screen then goes to galaxy note 3 screen.I'm downloading stock rom to flash as I'm typing this to start all over again. Or I may just exchange it. My question is:

What is most reliable Recovery to use when if the phone is already updated on nc5 and whats the best method to flash it. I want to avoid anymore issues.

SOLVED

Thanks

rooting help

I have tried to root my note 3 with sprint several times and i used odin for this. After it says that it has finished i go to check to see if there is a SU on the phone and there isn't. I have also tried to use the bootloader method to do this but the link for the bootloader is missing. Any ideas or helpful tips would be awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
What are you using to root your phone? If flashing the stock tar, you won't have root.

If you're OK flashing recovery and tripping Knox, then flashing the latest KitKat stock NC5 tar or one-click will put you on the latest version of KitKat (both are in the dev section).

After that, flash recovery specifically for KitKat, TWRP for TouchWiz KitKat below, use PC Odin, goes in the PDA slot,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c1snl3g6u7ucy0q/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar

PhilZ CWM here,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u3naxczrhsq2gqq/philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr.tar.md5

Then from recovery, flash either a pre-rooted rom, or superuser zip, latest here,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vh8svgc9js8vl2p/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip

Should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Darkvenom83:
Turns out my phone is rooted just never put the supersu on my phone but when trying to flash the recovery or anything else the phone goes into recovery boot loop. So i guess my next step would be to go to stock and then try again lol thanks for you help

hi, guys after updating note 8 (n5100) to official update 4.2.2 ....I have noticed while playing video player starts to flick(flash) in stock video player.......it's not happen all time

any have this type of prblm? how to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Backup your note 8.0 and then do a factory reset, test with the troubling video. If it still flickers then there may be an issue with the video. I have seen so many videos created with odd sets of parameters during encoding. Though they work on PC, they have issues with playback.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] rabichowdhary:
bro i have done factory reset 2 times ........ it's issue with player not the video..... the problem was not in 4.1.2 stock rom
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
OK, I have 4.2.2 as well.. Never gives me issues with playback, both with factory load or flashing, right now I am back to factory ROM.

I guess you may have a hardware issue, I would contact Samsung and have them service it. There are millions of these, and at 1% error, somebody is bound to get one that is defective.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] inphamous36:
Hello, I am getting a galaxy note 10.1 tomorrow.

I believe I will be getting the p600 model. Is it safe to flash 601 and 605 files?

Is it like the galaxy s4 in regards to you can flash other model numbers roms, you just have to flash a kernel for your device afterwards?

Any clarification wold be appreciated.

All i have to do is flash a recovery with odin correct? I know this will trip know, I don't really care about that.

Once I have a custom recovery I flash the rom of my choice and or superuser?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nickwarn:
In S4 case you can only flash the versions that have the same hardware, if I remember correct. And P605 has a completely different processor, its a Qualcomm. But you should be able to use 601 firmware, but you can probably excpect some problems. I remember on the N8000 we flashed N8010 firmware and vice versa and they worked, but there was battery drain because of files looking for 3G signal when there was no hardware for it. And it had some exchange problems, it said no network even if wifi was active. And so on....

But no harm ever came to any device, no bricks as long as it had the same hardware base.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nrage23:
You only flash roms based on you device. The 600 and 601 are similar with exception of the 3g radio. The 605 is completely different.

Redirect several internal SD card locations to the external SD card.

This *only* works if the app uses Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(String), directly or indirectly, to get the location for the download. At present, it won't redirect app data (stuff in /data/data or /sdcard/Android), I may look into that later.

Apps this works with so far:

* /sdcard/Downloads - Chrome, Firefox ([MENTION=5367731]an0n981[/MENTION], [MENTION=2705722]zouhaier1[/MENTION]).

It does not work with downloading a picture in an MMS in Verizon Messages. No surprise there...I absolutely despise that app. Unfortunately since KitKat there's no way to have my messages sync between devices and use a different SMS client. Using the Verizon sync service works better than any 3rd party solution because messages go to Verizon before coming to the phone anyways so often times I'll get a message on my tablet before my phone. 3rd party solutions have to read the SMS database, monitor it for changes, and then forward messages to a separate server. Luckily I hardly ever text people anymore anyways, but I digress.

Well, I'm no longer getting a FC. But the download consistently fails before actually starting (i.e. it never gets to showing the download percentage) I've tried multiple times on WiFi (literally sitting next to the router) and on 4G LTE. With the module enabled download fails, without it succeeds. FWIW, in the downloads app where the filename should be is black, and it says unsuccessful below that.

If you feel like continuing to look into this I've attached a new Xposed log and logcat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
I had a feeling it would do that. I'm bypassing that particular exception, but whatever is triggering it is still there. Does Chrome Stable have the same problem? Doesn't much matter, though. I don't think I can do anything about it.

Yup, same behavior with the non-beta version of Chrome.
[Xposed Framework Modules] claytonjn:
Just wanted to post that I'm having that same error when trying to download files from Goo.im, Android File Host, and Dev-Host as well. For now I simply changed the Downloads location back to the built-in storage location and everything's working fine. Not a big deal to me, but I just wanted to give you a heads up in case a lot more people on KitKat start using this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
Are you getting a different error message? You can't be getting the same "Destination must be on external storage" because that text is nowhere else in Android's code. Unless Chrome itself is doing it, in which case, the log would say that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] claytonjn:
When I get a chance I'll revert to the old version and check the stack trace for each of those sites. With the new version no FC occurs, the download just immediately says unsuccessful. (Actually, it does display the indeterminate progress bar for a few seconds before saying unsuccessful. Normal behavior is to show the indeterminate progress bar and then show the actual download percentage. I've never looked into what is actually happening when the indeterminate progress bar is shown, however, so I don't know if it's establishing a connection but failing as soon as it tries writing the incomplete file or what)

It may be a few days before I can give you any more information, since I want to take the time and test it properly, which as you're well aware involves disabling modules, installing old version, rebooting, testing for each site, etc.
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:

I didn't have a chance to do proper testing, but here's a logcat. I didn't revert back to the older version, or disable any other modules before grabbing this so there's a bit of superfluous info in it. I skimmed it over pretty quick though and there may be some useful stuff near the end (makes sense as that's when the download failed). I'll still try to get proper logs tomorrow unless you think this has enough information and it's not necessary.

This is ridiculous. I basically have to rewrite Google's Download Manager. Whenever I get one error handled, I get ten more errors that are completely arbitrary and ambiguous. And I give up. If you have any idea, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'm just going to put a "not reliable" caveat for KitKat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] claytonjn:
I'm sure if you can't figure it out I certainly won't be able to. I consider myself to have advanced knowledge of Android, but when it comes to Android programing I'm a novice. I definitely don't want you to invest a lot of time on my behalf, it's not hard to move files between internal/external storage, and everything else is working great. I was just pointing out the issue in case it was an easy fix and so you'd be aware if other people start complaining. Thanks again!
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
The best part is that it shouldn't even be working on JB. The original method that threw the security exception hasn't changed since 4.0.3.
[Xposed Framework Modules] claytonjn:
The download manager in KitKat is completely different...at least in OmniROM. It's incorporated into a whole file manager app. Unless you happen to know off the top of your head if that's specific to OmniROM or not I'll try flashing CM or something closer to AOSP some time this weekend. For some reason I've thought that was a KitKat feature and not specific to OmniROM, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
