[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
I see. So in newbie terms, if I flash the official firmware I have from SamMobile, I should have my phone back running with all my apps & data? Also, any hint about why rooting didn't work in the first place?

After this tragic experience with Odin, I'm gonna forget root for now, maybe update to Lollipop then think about rooting again.

Thanks for replying !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Did the official firmware work when you did it? If so, download Phone INFO Samsung from Play and use it to check what hardware you actually have.

I have had issues with CF-Auto root recently so I flash Stock, then the TWRP md5 file (in Odin 3.09) then I boot into Recovery and flash SuperSU. That gives me Recovery and root. You normally have to run SuperSU when you start so it can update.

U[pdating to LP is a good idea - most of the things going on in Dev are now LP versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
I didn't flash the official firmware ever. Before trying to root with Odin and getting it stuck, I never flashed or modified anything internally on this phone.

Obviously, I can't use Phone INFO because my phone is stuck at BSOD.

I will upgrade to Lollipop, once I can get my phone working as it was. For now I'm still hesitating to flash the official firmware. I don't know if that would wipe the apps or just get back the phone as it was.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
It will wipe Apps and Data - it makes your phone like you just bought it.

I didn't realise it was stuck in that mode - just thought that happened whenever you tried to flash something.

First thing. Turn phone off. Take back off and remove battery for 10 secs or so. Turn it on holding down Vol Down + Home + Power - release when DL screen shows and press Vol Down. If that gets you into the phone, spend some time saving your data to extSD.

I use Call Logs Backup & Restore, SMS Backup & Restore, I export my Contacts to ext storage. I use TiBu to backup all my apps to a folder on extSDCard. If you are on Stock ROM, you should be able to set your camera to save to extSDCard but you need a file explorer (I use ES File Explorer) to copy your current DCIM folder across - other than that, look for music, documents and video folders on internal memory)

If it doesn't open the phone for you, & your data is important, take card out and use adapter to save data onto a computer.

Go to Sammobile and download the proper official firmware for your phone - note you need to set up a free account before you can DL.

Download

Odin 3.09

Run Odin

Then repeat the phone process but this time press Vol Up when at the DL screen. It is important to have the phone Off and electrically flat before attempting a firmware update.

Connect phone to PC - Odin should recognise it. If it doesn't you probably need the

Samsung USB Drivers

so get them and install them.

Then connect phone again. Click AP and find your DL from Sammobile. Wait for it to load then press Start. Wait... it will reboot and usually sits on the logo for quite some time.

Set up your phone, and restore or reinstall your apps.

Rotsa Ruck! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
Thank you, I just tried going into download mode and pressing vol down, still get the same BSOD. I guess that means phone cannot be recovered as it is...

I'm backing up my stuff now. I have no problem backing up contacts/SMS/etc.., but can you tell me whether I can still back up applications and restore them as they were using Titanium Backup on PC ? I know this should have been done before even soft-bricking my phone, but since it inaccessible to run the app on it...

I already have the official firmware waiting to be installed, just need to be sure about TiBU and that I backed up everything correctly :D Thanks for answering !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
That depends... TiBu can only recover what you've saved (obvious I know...) and only if it didn't get wiped in the new firmware flash. (which it will if you didn't choose extSDCard for the backups)

Other than that, once your phone is set up and your Google account active, Play Store will DL all your apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
Okay great :D So where exactly do I get TiBu for pc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Unfortunately it's a Play Store app, so first you have to get your phone working. :D

You could try the attached from Recovery but I have no idea if it would work as it's from my rooted CM12.1 system.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
Recovery isn't working for me... The only thing I can access on the phone is Download mode.

I guess it's lost? :/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
The only other thing I can think of would be using ADB over USB but I don't know if that would work with DL mode or if it is only for Recovery. You'd have to search and learn how to use it.

So maybe time to just get the phone working and make sure for future you have backups?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GST_Diandre:
SOLVED. I can't believe how easy it was. I was about to flash it over from scratch but then it struck me.

Chainfire ships Odin with all its root bundles, a version where you cannot untick "Auto Reboot". Because of Auto Reboot being ticked, Odin freezes at "cache.img". It might not freeze for some people but for me, having Auto Reboot activated causes the freeze

Downloading a different version of Odin (any version, I used 3.09) that allows changing parameters and LEAVING EVERYTHING UNTICKED BUT F. RESET TIME works like a charm.

Don't forget to reboot your phone after Odin displays PASS or RESET (Long press power).

I'm going to PM Chainfire about this, and tell a max of people about it.

Thank you for your support ;)

EDIT: Also going to NANDroid my phone. I'm tired of panicking over failed roots :D

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carole6m:
I'm on a touchwiz based rom and I've always been able to send and receive MMS since my wifi is always on when I'm at home. However last night I received a picture and it didn't download. I tried sending one to myself and it kept spinning for a while and eventually failed. I do have LTE and I'm only able to send and receive MMS when wifi is off and data is on.

I clean flashed another TW based rom and tried sending one right after it booted and it didn't work. I'm not sure what's going on and Sprint chat person wasn't able to help either. What could be the problem? I'm using the stock messaging app btw. Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittybittyfds:
I have this same issue and it occurs with both stock messaging and hangouts. I have been told its because of my AIRRAVE unit. I have a AIR RAVE in my house to help with signal problems but AIRRAVE is not compatible with new Sprint network and any SPARK devices.
[Sprint LG G2] LilDemon124:
OK so I flash grola ROM and ended up panicking when I noticed recovery or download mode didn't work. So I followed the guide using Linux to flash partitions, but where I made a mistake is with the recovery. I renamed the wrong recovery which was the stock recovery which I flashed and now I'm stuck in qhsusb_bulk. So now I been trying to force the 9006 mode so I can use lgflashtool

[Galaxy Tab S General] hotrodwinston:
For those who do not have access to a computer I achieved root on Kit Kat without a PC by following these steps :

All needed items will be linked below.

Root device using kingroot (will not trip Knox) if you are only wanting root for basic root apps (greenify etc.) then this is all you need to do. Have fun! (Just remember anything that changes the /system partition significantly such as xposed will trip Knox.)

To install superSU instead of kingroot/kinguser (will trip Knox)

Install flashify from the play store

Use flashify to install twrp (this step trips Knox)

Download SuperSU zip

Remove kingroot and the included kinguser app (follow instructions from kingroot thread)

Reboot into recovery and install SuperSU zip

OR :

After installing twrp just download a ROM (and if needed gapps) of your choice and flash.

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 for kingroot English.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify flashify play store link

For SuperSU zip google is your friend :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You've just negated the whole point of using kingroot, not tripping Knox.

You could have simply rooted using twrp or cfauto root without kingroot at all. I know it saves connecting to a PC, but that is trivial.

Kinguser supersu app is fully English and has no problems as a supersu replacement. I used it for months.
[Galaxy Tab S General] hotrodwinston:
Some people don't have a PC - this method would let them install custom roms or install xposed without needing a PC.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I agree but then you stated about flashing supersu and twrp which would trip Knox and sort of made the first part of your informative post pointless, that's all.

Also flashing roms will also trip Knox, so again negates the point of rooting with kingroot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] hotrodwinston:
I see your point - will modify the op to reflect different goals of rooting - my use of kingroot was to obtain root knowing I was going to trip Knox to install a custom rom as I do not have a PC to run Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S General] djide:
Kingroot does not work on lollipop. Don't want to trip Knox. Is there any other way to root? Not flashing any rom BTW.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheArtiszan:
If you have a computer and can downgrade to 4.4 kingroot should work then
[Galaxy Tab S General] bibihub:
I had never heard of that tool. Did it work well on KK ? Looks like there are newer versions that could work with Lollipop. My only concern is that it is all in Chinese and I don't know how reliable it is
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
I saw in another thread that someone had success using KIng Root on the AT&T variant. I have tried several times and on several different days, but as of yet King Root will not work for me on the SM-T807V. This is the Verizon variant. Some folks have speculated that King Root might work on Lollipop if you have the Exynos chip and not the Snapdragon. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for me, I have the Verizon with the different chip. I believe I also read that Sprint variants also have Snapdragons.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Sprint does have snapdragon, but their bootloaders are unlocked in which they can flash anything they want. Sucks that kingroot doesn't work onm Verizon :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I'm not sure whether the failure for it to work is the exploit itself or user error.

It has worked both on my exynos tab s t805 and my snapdragon m8.

Both running kitkat.

Earlier versions have worked on other devices I own.

I can't see what would be different exploit wise with the Verizon device.

It took me a few goes for the exploit to work and most importantly the device will reboot at least once and then continue the exploit, so must not be touched after the reboot.

My advice here is to set the screen timeout to at least 10 mins, so it can be monitored after it reboots.

Also it needs to be kingroot v4. Another point is that if the app root fails then it's worth trying the desktop version as, from past experience, this has worked when the app hasn't.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bibihub:
Yes but in my opinion the app is interesting because it makes it possible to keep the Knox counter at 0×0. Using the desktop version installs another recovery and triggers Knox. But it looks like the team is working hard to make it functional for devices on lollipop. I hope we will see progress for the tab s
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
I have tried both the desktop and the mobile version and both met with the same results -no root. The common thought now seems to be, from my readings, is that Verizon has a locked bootloader which might be more of the issue versus the difference in the chip. Oh well, I will just have to be patient with Tab S and just enjoy my rooted S6 Edge.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
The bootloader is irrelevant as the exploit doesn't involve the bootloader. Not only that it works on the bootloader locked att model.
[Galaxy Tab S General] geminiahmed:
Keep root after update ??

hello just wondering if after king root gains root would I be able to update from Samsung update in settings ? And if It does let us update from setting will it remove or patch over the root exploit..! Thanks...

[Galaxy Tab S General] djide:
As far as Knox is not tripped, I believe you should but you will lose root in the process.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Joker87:
Downgrade to kitkat, root with king root then flash lollipop stock official fw with flashfire, with injects supersu option

Really kingroot works?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
I have not read any posts from anyone that has been able to root a VERIZON (caps used for emphasis ) Tab S (SM-T807V) with King Root or Kingo.

Sorry for taking so long to update - real life got in the way.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheArtiszan:
Has anyone found a method to replace kingroot with supersu without tripping Knox? I have tried the same steps that worked on my s6 on here and that didn't work. Worked only right after completing the process but when I reboot I lost root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] djide:
Yeah. Involves using terminal emulator to remove king root files and replace with supersu
[Galaxy Tab S General] leapinlar:
That same procedure you followed on your s6, was it the procedure outlined on the kingroot Web page? They have detailed instructions there.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheArtiszan:
I'm not sure I can check though.

Either way I saw that the 5.0.2 update was released for the xar variant.

I did the same procedure and didn't reboot. Used flashfire to update the Rom and then Odin to flash firmware only and it stayed with super su then on the new version. Rooted and Knox not tripped.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zwolf4444:
Can you post a little more detail about how you did that? That's the path I'd like to go as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Flashfire is not for general release yet. Having said that I have used it and seems to work well, but did have a problem flashing a Rom.

You may be aware of this but if your rooted there are debloat apps such as "System app remover (ROOT)"

I like it as it allows you to retain a backup incase you remove too much which did happen to me once. Using a product like this you can stay stock but trim the fat. The apps that remain will continue to be updated without issue.
