Hi All,
I just rooted the Android Note N9000 (i9220) but wanted to install some custom apk in sys\app folder to change the look and feel. I was able to this at a great extent using TouchWiz apk and all looked good until i went ahead and decided to change the browser apk in the sys\app folder.
I went ahead and downloaded the browser apk from online and then renamed the old browser.apk file as browserold.apk and this is were the phone started alerting to stop some application and after that phone rebooted.
Once it rebooted it does not go beyond the "Logo" screen and it keeps flashing that so went ahead and tried few of this options but no luck,
Recovery mode - Unfortunately i did not do any back-up and cleaned partitioned and cache but unable to do anything beyond that?
I do not have Custom Recovery Mod also with me so no much luck there also
I tried connecting to PC but the phone recognizes in Control Panel of Windows 7 but the drive is not available to install any file...
Please help!!!!! Need to get this phone back to normal asap.
Regards

Sad to be said you need to flash with the original firmware again with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1206.01. By the way how do you root this phone N9000??
Can you help me root with what method??

Hi murtuzainab,
Hope you were able to fix the problem with your device? However, I do need an assistance from you, I use the same device Android Note N9000 i9220 and would love you to teach me how to root it. Please note I'm a newbie to Android so pls try to be as detailed as possible.
Many thanks,
Ayodele

So I had a rooted Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 that I didn't have any backups for and I stupidly changed the DPI of the screen and rebooted the device and it started up in bootloop and I tried recovering it and nothing would work. So I finally settled on the wipe and factory reset, and now it starts up VERY SLOWLY, and the start of the set up for the device shows up but constantly I'm being bombarbed by TOUCHWIZUI has stopped working and 3 other things keep popping up saying they have stopped working. The touch screen barely works.
I have no idea what to do. I have no backups. I am not that familiar with android. I am downloading the stock firmware and am going to try to put it on with odin but I doubt it's going to work.
Can someone give me some advice on what to do? I would REALLY appreciate it.
Sincerely,
SalvelinuxFontinalix
BTW. The tab is the SM-T530NU Canadian (Wifi) version. The firmware I am downloading is the T530NUUEU1ANI1_T530NUXAC1ANI1...
Can I use ODIN to flash this firmware from my PC onto the device or will it be a huge problem if the tablet has been wiped and factory reset and is missing all sorts of information?
Your gonna need to flash the stock rom for the device.
Thank you for your guidance!

Thank you so much I did what you said. I found the stock rom and "flashed it" I got it back to exactly how it was when I got the tablet! I was unsure how to do it but I learned a bit on my own form the search feature of XDA. I found the stock rom out of a list of many different ones and I found the correct ROM for my country and area and flashed it on with ODIN using my PC and it rebooted and was brand new. I re-rooted it and decided not to alter the DPI of the screen. It's nice enough as is.
Thanks Again! Zelendel! You are a life safer! Oh and BTW...is using ODIN to transfer the stock ROM onto the device considered "flashing"? Or is there some other way people flash devices?
Thanks again I'm so thrilled I don't have a broken device haha. THANKS!!!

Yes it is. There are other ways with custom recoveries but that is only for custom rom flashs

Thanks for the reply. I found that the clockworkmod I got was junk. Am I better off buying it from playstore? There is 2 on

I can't get the Clockworkmod Droid 3. Download the recovery file for your phone, just Google or XDA it and then flash it
You can also try the ROM Manager app on the playstore if you r a noob at this. It'll dnld the appropriate file and flash automatically

Latest version for your phone is Android 4.4.2 KitKat
All versions can be found HERE and are flashable via ODIN.
For rooting 4.4.2 use CF-AUTO-ROOT
TWRP is the latest and probably best custom recovery available
Thank You
I have gotten VRLEC>bootchain.tar.md5 and CWM603Touchvzw.tar.tar done using odin 3.07 both pass
Success! My question now: I have done a lot of reading about firmware and am confused. one post says I need
to upgrade to 4.1.1 to be able to use a T- Mobile [ US] sim card another says if I upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat I won't be able to use T-mobile on this inactive Verizon phone. Also Why does windows say: that files that I want to copy and paste into my external SD won't be able to be viewed because I can see files on my sd card when I open it up on my PC but in recovery mode when appling updates the file doesn't show up. I know I ask a lot of questions, I just want to succeed. And all the help I been given is taken with gratitude Thanks!

Just to be clear. Have you carrier unlocked your phone using a unlock code? Its like that: Verizon uses CDMA and T-MO uses GSM. I doubt that you ever can use your GSM sim in a verizon phone, even if its carrier unlocked.
Hey guys!*
First time posting on this site but I'm hoping you guys can help!
I have a Note 3 N900AUCUEOC2 5.0 Lollipop version.
My ultimate goal is to root my Note 3. Since in the past I have rooted my old phones and love it. But with the Note 3, specially the N900a 5.0 lollipop version, it seems hardest to get accurate root instructions for.*
After days of searching over many forums, I came to the conclusion that I need to flash my version (using Odin) Lollipop 5.0 OC2 back to Kitkat 4.4 NC2 and then from there I can use Towel Root to root my device and then upgrade to 5.0 again. So I thought..?
First of all, I backed up all my contacts and apps and everything using Easy Back Up. To my ext SD card an then I removed my ext SD card for safe keeping. Then I downloaded the required (working) Odin N900AUCUCNC2 files. Which was 4 separate files. I then put my phone into Odin Mode and connected to PC and ran Odin with the files selected. Everything went smooth, passed and my phone rebooted.. of course I was expecting a full factory reset with the new version. But when I check the version it says I'm still on 5.0??? And I even tried to fire up Towel Root and it won't even let me go to the site anymore and gives me a 404 error messege. All other sites seem to work tho.
Also to confuse things more, I turned off my phone and put my SD card back in to retrieve my back up and everything else on it. But... there's nothing there! It's complete wiped clean! Which doesn't make sense since I didn't have it inside my phone during the flashing progress.*
So now I basically flashed my phone for nothing and lost all my data in the process.*
I thought I was more computer savy than this but I guess this one stumped me and I could really use your guys help.*
Where did I go wrong and how can I fix it?

I think I screwed up big time.
I fist got my GS3 Verizon and rooted with Towelroot. Then I tried installing TWRP. I was unaware of the locked bootloader, and found out about SafeStrap. I never actually uninstalled TWRP. From there, I installed SafeStrap, then I tried installing CM 12.1 and I messed up. My phone won't boot up in any mode other than download mode. When I try to boot in to recovery I will get the "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone." Message. I need to wipe and install stock ROM. Someone please help! (And if possible, maybe someone can walk me through having CM 12.1 on here? I really want it on, but I need a walkthrough)
Thanks guys!
P.S. I am running Android 4.4.2.

Your best bet may be using Odin to flash the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
I bought my i535 (Verizon SGS3/d2vzw) used as a device to develop modding skills. It came with the 4.4.2 rom already installed. I have learned from reading in this forum that options for you and I are very limited. Once your device is restored you can use SafeStrap but not TWRP, CWM, or Philz Recovery. There are only three roms available to us: Stock, SuperLiteRom, and PaulPizz ROM.
@ShapesBlue may have better advice, he actually used this device as a phone and has much more experience with what can be done with the i535 on the 4.4.2 bootloader (NE1)
First of all, thank you for ALL your help! I REALLY appreciate it! You are a lifesaver. Now, my question is, can I flash android 4.2 so the bootloader isn't locked? I know I am being a little picky, but this is the ONLY reason I bought it. But I was thinking, put my phone in download mode, flash 4.2 > root > install TWRP > wipe > Flash CM12.1 > and voila! Would that work, and if so, could you help?

Everything I have read indicates that we are stuck at 4.4.2 and can not downgrade. I didn't read the forums before purchasing mine and have not seen anything saying anyone has safely downgraded, or used any rom other than the three I mentioned.
I guess we could wish for Verizon to release a security update because of stagefright issues. I can dream, but I'm not holding my breath.
Okay, guys, I am starting to lose it.
I am having 0 luck fixing this damn thing. I have tried flshing every android version that exists for this phone and it won't work at all. KIES won't recognize so I used ODIN. ODIN never feels like working so IDK what to do. I used Safestrap to try and install CM 12.1, but it was stuck in a boot cycle, and since I had to use the Safestrap app to launch recovery, I am screwed. There is no way for me to get into my phone, I only have download mode, I need some help guys. What can I do!?!?! I just want anything that will work at this point. Even if I can't get CM12. I think I want to get android working on it and sell it. Pls help!!!

If your device was ever on 4.4.2 you may as well give up on the idea of installing CM 12.1, or any ROM other than the three I mentioned. (If you have found something stating differently please share.)
Some of these threads may be of help:
[GUIDE] Debrick your bricked SCH-I535! [BOOTLOADER/HARDBRICK]
[GUIDE][ML1/NC1/NE1] TW 4.4 and 4.3 Sticky Roll-Up Thread (7-10-14)
[INDEX] TW 4.4 Download List (7-10-14)
That last one is a bit dated but still worthwhile. The second is not quite as dated. The first may be what helps you.
So, I need like, a tutorial or a link on how to fix this. I want to fix my recovery as well if that's possible. Just so I can have stock recovery. If I flash Android 4.4.2 it should fix that though. Plus, a working download link would be MUCH appreciated.
Alright. So, I followed the instructions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&nocache=1 and had no luck, when I flash on ODIN, it gets the error when flashing the "aboot". That's when it fails. Any suggestions? I tried deleting it, but 7zip won't let me.

Odin gives an error at that point when you are trying to flash an incompatible bootloader. If you used any rom with a bootloader older than 4.4.2 (NE1) it prevents you from flashing to avoid a bricked device.
Which image did you use from the site you linked?
None of the images from the OP of that thread are for flashing with Odin. They are to burn to an external micro sdcard from which you boot the device and then restore your bootloader, and recovery if necessary.
Please detail the exact steps you performed.
Oh, I flashed an image from something else, my bad on that one. Uh, so I tried putting that thing on my SD card with Win32DiskImager, and every time I do it, after multiple writes and phone boot-ups, I had no luck. It always tells me "Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." So, I don't know what to do. Ad I also wanted to thank you for your speedy replies, I know mine are always delayed, I have finals and stuff, it's hectic. But, I need my phone back already so I'll jump back to reply ASAP! Thanks!

I am not in the least familiar with "Software Repair Assistant." I do know it is a Verizon process. You can give it a try if you wish.
Other than that you are back to the debrick image process. That process can take a number of attempts. You should use either a 16 or 32 GB class 10 card. It sometimes works with a slower card, but best bet is with a class 10. It would be an oddity for something samller than 16 GB to work. Also, you may need to try several cards. A card that works for this in one phone at times does not work in a different SGS3.
Alright, here's what I just did. I needed a new SD Card anyay so I bought a Kingston Digital 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter (SDC10/16GB) off of Amazon and it should be here by Thursday. And then, I'll tell you how things go. I am praying this works, because, even though I am getting a HTC One M9 (I'd like your thought on that, if you think it's a good phone to run CM 12.1 off of) I need a phone for now.

A quick check at the VZW development thread for the M9 shows they have root and custom recoveries. A quick glance at a number of the custom ROMs their had all of them based on stock, either saying stock or sense.
Another check at CM shoes development open for the himaul HTC One M9. I don't know which carrier that is for, but it is a GSM device instead of cdma. The AT&T M9 is code named hima so I am not convinced it is theirs.
Otherwise, I don't know much about the M9 outside of what I see in the reviews. Being that my daily driver is still my SGS3, I would think I would be satisfied with the M9 performance.
Well, I am screwed. I tried using my 16GB SD and it didn't work. I did everything right, I don't know what to do. I kinda think flashing something via ODIN would work, but I don't know what to flash. Help?

From what I have read in the debrick threads, you may have to try several cards to find one that works in your phone. Also, it is 16 and 32 Gb class 10/U1 cards that are most likely to work.
So I tried this process with a 64GB Samsung Class 10 SD, and it didn't work. Should I just go with a 32GB or am I going to need a Jtag?

I don't recall seeing anyone report attempting to do this with a 64GB card, not to say it wouldn't work, I just haven't seen anyone saying they tried one.

You may just need a SanDisk version versus the Samsung one. I have ran across threads with people having success with them. Definitely try a 32gb sd card as dawgdoc suggested

Please what's the confirmed rooting method for Samsung galaxy s3 Verizon i-535 running 4.4.2 I tried rooting with towelroot & kingroot, also flashed cwm recovery from rom manager respectively then rebooted to recovery but got black screen with yellow triangle error. I have a friend at the Samsung store in bestbuy that have reflashed the phone twice & is still willing to restore the phone again but I wanna know the working root method for this device without screwing up recovery?
