[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyo50138:
i want to update to the new update, it errors out at 27%, i think its because i rooted with towelroot, i unrooted it with su. When it reboots it still shows the open padlock and it says custom under the lock. Im familiar with odin and flashing stock roms, but the thing im confused on is can i flash a stock bootloader and 4.4.2. And if i can where can i find the image? I found a site called sammobile or somthing like that. I was directed there from samsungs website. Thanks for the help :)

Hello...I"m hoping I can get a little assistance with rooting...

I'm following the guide from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737724

I've installed the drivers initially on a windows 8.1 x64 laptop (i've since installed on a win 7 32-bit machine). I kept getting:

RECOVERY BOOTING

Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warrenty Bit : recovery

I pulled the battery and when I try to start the phone up it goes straight to this screen again.

I pulled the battery again, went into download mode, and flashed philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar recovery img and it rebooted fine (unlike the cf-auto root.)

Everytime I try to do the first step of the guide (cf-root), I receive the same message. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction? Yes i'm new to samsung devices but have been flashing htc phones for years...clearly this is a different process. Thanks again for any assistance!

ALSO....even after pushing the recovery img through odin (at least it seems to reboot my phone).....turning the phone off...and then holding vol up+home button+power DOES NOT take me into recovery...it just takes me back to the screen with

RECOVERY BOOTING

Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeb:
Is there anyone who can assist me?

EDIT

I went ahead and installed a the stock 4.4.4 from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/stock-rom-ni3-kitkat-rom-t2886171

This apparently restored my recovery img and I was able to boot into the stock recovery. I attempted the process of cf auto root again using this file: CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 and the result was the same. Immediately after it tries to restart I get:

RECOVERY BOOTING

Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warrenty Bit : recovery

I again pulled the battery and powered into download mode to flash a recovery. The file I used was: philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5

This booted my phone back into the normal rom. I tried to use SuperSu but it says that I don't have root. I went ahead and reflashed the stock rom and once again I have stock recovery. Not sure why this is happening, but it appears that cf auto root is removing my recovery. I'm probably wrong, but I'm looking for input from anybody in this community.

Any help?

Solved the issue following suggestions from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57022287&postcount=24

Instead of flashing cf-auto root first, flash the custom recovery first. Then let your phone boot up and then power it down. Hold up + home button + power and get into recovery...wait for few seconds as it will show the same message as before and then it'll let you into recovery. I selected reboot now and it prompted me for root...select yes. Done.

Still not getting root

I went through all the steps on CF's Auto Root listing and ended up with the same issue. I followed the above instructions to reset and was able to get the phone to reload fully. I have since been able to install TWRP, however I still can't get root access on my phone.

I can reboot to Recovery and get the same announcements. However, if I wait a sec or two it does proceed to TWRP, but upon reboot I get no root access. SuperSU won't proceed and root checker verifies that I have no root access.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeb:
Hmmm...so all I can suggest is the little steps I took. Flash the full rom again...ODIN the recovery (philz)...let boot up....shut down...and vol down +home button+power to get into recovery...select reboot...should be prompted to install root.

Okay so I went on ebay and craigslist looking for a Note 4 to purchase. I am going to use it as my work phone so I don't really care about the cosmetic condition.

Well I've found some but none in my price range until I found some with a bad esn. I looked online and found a website where you can have it fixed MOD EDIT as long as their is no past due balance.

Is this possible? Anyone know of a legit website?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blap017:
Probably won't get much help here as most of the time messing with esn is done for illegal reason. Which is why xda doesn't usually mess with it. If you buying a phobe with a bad esn it's either been reported stolen, or they claimed they lost it to insurance. so insurance flags it. Buying either one of these types of phone is technically illegal receiving stolen property or insurance fraud. Good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxtncxxx:
Major Mobile companys will not activate a phone with a BAD ESN specifically Verizon. Any one who tells u different is a liar or has just gotten extremely lucky. If your looking for a Note 4 to use with Verizon don't buy one with a bad esn. That's the best advice your gonna get. Anything else and your rolling the dice. How many professional craps players do you know?

The reason the ones with the bad esn are in your price range is because they useless 2ne1 who wants to use it as its intended.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sorry but you are out of luck on XDA as changing ESN or phone identifiers is illegal in the U.S., so discussion is not allowed.

after the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] in android_winusb.inf file

Update to Kingo Root

Kingo with their developer mode ADB drivers did Root.

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

If I get a few min I will write a install guide but bottom line

Download Kingo Android Root from kingoapp.com

Install Kingo

But RCA table in Developer mode :

Go to Settings > About Tablet

Tap Build Number 7 times quickly

Click Settings > Developer Options

Enable developer options in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Plug device into USB cable and attach to computer

If you previously connected the device

not in dev

mode it installed drivers automatically.

It will now indicated that drivers need to be installed, allow automatic install of new drivers

Start Kingo and follow prompts.

That is it.

i just rooted the rca 7 voyager!

1. Download pdanet app from the playstore

2. Download the pdanet file for windows and install it on your pc. plug in your device via usb to make connection.

3. allow it to update android drivers.( this is what you need for KingoRoot to recognize the rca 7 voyager) unplug your device after it connected to the pc.

4. exit the pdanet service running on your pc (in the lower right corner)

5. download KingoRoot onto your pc and run application.

6. plug your rca 7 voyager into the usb and kingoroot will connect a couple times and click finish once you obtain root.

7. go to the play store and update supersu! buy the pro version!

thats the log that it gives when i type "adb logcat /dev/proc/filesystems" any other commands? You want me to try?

The only isssue with the bootloader is we can't have custom recoveries, roms, etc due to it being locked. Which means if theres an official update you won't be able to install it due to the lock. if it was unlocked then none of that matters.

? for those that may have the Cube U25GT-C4W. If you don't mind opening up your tablet (if you dont mind voiding warranty and at your own risk and free will) and see who the motherboard manufacture is. Our RCA's build prop says Gigabyte which is correct as i verified it my self by even opening one i before. Where as the Cube just says Cube. Thanks in advance.

That's it thanks, kernel supports ext4 so this tablet can be changed from ubifs to ext4. Which will make the tablet more stable and less prone to bootloops.

Now if I can get this tablet cheap, I can fix these tablets, create recovery and fix the bootlooped tablets if they can get into fastboot, maybe even fix the ones that can't.

But right now tablet is much too high.

This is why I'm trying to get an Update file and shove it via the Recovery screen, it should overwrite what's corroded and get back inside.

I'd still love to know how to use Fastboot or adb shell since neither work when it's in Recovery setups. I may be using the wrong drivers and therefore it won't stay on via USB long enough to get a command in there before the RCA junk takes over? Can't even pull a HDD on this thing, it's just a SanDisk memory chip.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

As I mentioned, it seems Gigabyte may be the manufacturer for the boards themselves and the chip loads and then delivered to the Mfg who then puts whatever case on it the End-Seller (aka Manufacturer/Reseller like RCA/ALCO) orders. Cube is far more responsible for their stuff, so I think you see the exact same board but customized for them. I have seen threads about the Cube's showing Gigabyte as well on some tests. So far no one's ventured to pop one open. The way RCA's yankin me I could end up with a bootlooper donor. Oif.

well as far as adb and and fastboot that's easy. install pdanet+ drivers as "other" with tablet pluged in to pc with adb debug enabled. after it does it thing. make sure you check to verify that it says android debug usb if it says anything else update the driver manually and it should pop up in the list in not the browse for inf manually and it will be in "C:\Program Files\PdaNet for Android\usbwin" on x64 it will be just "C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin". to reboot to fastboot i use an app call "Quick Boot (Reboot)" by Apportunity GH excellent app for stock roms. open it click bootloader then bam in in fastboot. alternatively instead of pdanet you can use this excellent app it installs adb and fastboot and allows system wide as well as drivers xD. Also if your getting bootloops im sure you can google around and find the command to reboot device into fastboot mode.
