Note 3 N900A 5.0 Lollipop root problems! Help!! - General Questions and Answers

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?

[Q] Reviving an old phone

Back in February of 2014 I rooted my phone and I went through and started deleting some of the software that came preinstalled. No one likes the preinstalled bloatware anyways, but in the process I deleted some core files that were important to basic operation.
I figured no big deal I'll just get clockwork and find the ROM online and no big deal. Well... That didn't go so well because I had already accepted the secure boot over the air update.
Phone currently turns on and I'm able to get into the boot loader and a normal boot tells me to take it into Verizon (only for them to say there's nothing we can do).
I came here for answers and never bothered to make a post. All I found were people saying I'm screwed and two tutorials, one for a true bricked phone and the other that's image did not work for me in ODIN.
Now with a new job right around the corner and them requiring me to have a phone, I'm in a pickle. I'm coming back and while I can find some answers now most of the links have been removed.
Where can I find a copy of the stock rom so I can once again use my phone and which ODIN version should I be using (and where to get)? - if I can even remember how to use one since it's been so long.
I did find samsung-updates[dot]com/device/?id=SCH-I535 in a youtube video description from another post on XDA but 12 hours for a download doesn't seem practical especially if the file doesn't even work.
Also there was an ODIN post on XDA that had links for a download that Chrome will NOT let me download. When I say "will not", I actually mean I can only dismiss the notice that chrome says this file is malicious. There is no proceed anyways option and it comes with a "do not enter" icon. Other compressed versions of ODIN download fine but no clue what version I'm after.

Use a different browser to download your files, sometimes chrome won't download things properly.
Use this guide to fix your situation:

You can use that file of you're on 4.3, but if you were on 4.4 you need a stock 4.4.2 image. Everything you need is in the sticky in the development section. All downloads are available and guides for figuring out which version you're on.

I think I bricked, not sure, need help. [Verizon GS3]

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?

[Completed] Currently panicking: root gone wrong

First of all, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread or wrong area.
I'm seriously depressed and deprived of sleep because I finally rooted my phone and everything went wrong.
Yeah, I fell in with that crowd. Shame on me, i know ,_,
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 is the victim. I downloaded CF AUTO ROOT HLTECAN HLTEUB SMN900W8 which, apparently, should have had no problem. Used Odin 3.07 on my laptop and the process was smooth and quick. Buuuut of course my phone got mostly wiped (no surprise here, totally worth the root). Along with that wipe came the rage of Google and Samsung.. don't know why but most apps just force close when I try to open them.
Long-story short I need to regain access to my Google account, my messages (so I can, you know, message my grandmother so she can pick me up at the university) and the ability to have a functional good phone.
I've learned my lesson, I'm leaving this rooting stuff to the more apt. However I need guidance on how to what I believe is called "flash" the system back into having all the permissions it used to have. Not sure what I'm talking about any more.
If it is possible to keep the root and somehow fix the problem (regain access to basic services such as messages and play store) that'd be nice. But really, I just wanna travel back in time and forget this ever happened so late at night that it's almost morning and my feelings are extra hurt.
Hello Dear ,
Its ok just re install the official rom for ur device n900w8 after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3canada.html
After that boot ur phone to custom recovery then install supersu from this link
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
That's all for rooting ur device mate
Thank You ,
Thanks for the help! But I'm still a bit lost. I did as you suggested and found the 5.0 stock firmware, which I am currently downloading. I will open Odin, plug in my phone, put the firmware file in the AP slot and install it from the download screen on my phone. Same process as the rooting that failed earlier.
However, I don't get the TWRP part.
"after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link"
Is that step necessary, or is it just in case I want to try rooting my device again? Also, in the list you provided doesn't seem to be 5.0/lollipop for the phone. But then again, I'm not entirely sure how all that works.
Thanks again!
Installing the Stock firmware did not work. Once the phone boots, everything stops working unexpectedly.
Oh well, I guess it's time to take it to a store ,_,
Thanks anyways!
I am in utter shock. For some strange reason, factory reset worked and my phonne is ok. Not sure how... but it actually worked!
Nice to hear that mate congrats then

Tribute 5/Kingroot/No Command Screen

So following the instructions here I rooted my LG Tribute 5 when I got it with Kingroot. And everything was fine for months. Until System Updates started to pop up regularly but I could never get them to install(they would error out). After a quick search I learned the updates won't install cuz the device was rooted. And a quick unroot would get the install to work.
I just unrooted through the kingroot app and started the updated. Before, when I tried the update it would error out about a quarter of the way through. This time the bar made it all the way to the end and then error'd out. I didn't think much of it. So since the device was stuck I took my battery out and back in. The device went through the boot process, then a No Command error popped up. Never saw that before.
So I tinkered with it a bit and kept getting the error. So I got into the Recovery Menu to do a full wipe and factory reset. I did that, but the No Command still popped up.
I know I can put a custom rom file on my external sd card and install that through recovery, right? The thing is I would like to install Slimrom, but there are a ton of downloads on the sites download page. So I'm asking for a little help on directions on a slimrom that will work on the LG Tribute 5.
And if there isn't a custom rom that works with a tribute 5,can I get a recommendation of one a custom rom that does? I'm into lightweight and minimalistic. By the way, I didn't have a custom rom on my phone, just had it rooted.
Thank you so much in advance for any and all help
No-one has any advice for me?
A little more info, the phone was on Android 5.1.1 before it started erroring out.

Do you have a custom recovery as well? If it is only the stock recovery, which blocks most zips, your very option may be to use LG UP and the stock dz file and return the device to stock. The process to update can be done from that point.
I'm pretty sure I only have the stock recovery. I knew i should have installed TWRP...
So just search for LG UP and the stock firmware and they should be easily accessible?
Thanks for the reply xanscorp.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0KV4b0_G1PQZW95ZmloejU5dFk
The LG UP program and .dz file are in there.
That's awesome! Thank you very much for linking the files for me.
I'm gonna do this in a couple hours when I get home and I'll let you know how it went.
Much appreciated xanscorp
One last stupid question... Just the LG Up and.dz files are the only two I need right?
I'm guessing so, but just wanna be sure.
Yes. It'll put you back to stock.
Unfortunately I haven't yet found how to get the ZV5 firmware fully rooted (i.e. a custom recovery) but it can be partially rooted with KingRoot. (http://www.kingroot.net/wap)
I just finally got around to giving this a shot. Sheesh....
Anyways I downloaded the files, put them on my external SD card, popped my SD card into my phone, then booted my phone to recovery. I went to install update from SD, and the phone didn't find any files. Hmmm....
I'm definitely doing something wrong. The .msi file looks like an executable. So I hopped onto Windows to install it. It installed, but when I run the program it can't find my phone when I plug it in.
I'm about to just give up, trash this thing, switch to a different provider and get another new phone. This time I won't mess with Kingroot. I'm pretty positive that's the app that screwed things up. I've had three different phones, rooted all three through different methods, and never had a problem.
Things files are to restore from a pc using LG Up for Windows... that's why it's a Microsoft Installer (.msi) file.
Yeah I figured that. But when I plug my phone into the computer my phone isn't recognized. I'm assuming because it boots straight to a No Command screen.
So since the computer doesn't recognize it neither does LG Up. Any trick to get around this?
Still haven't gotten this phone back to working. This is the first time I've really been stumped after a brick.
Please...anymore help?

Going back versions?
Ok, I'm pretty good on flashing ROMs and using TWRP. But I was thinking of trying a 5.1.1 Rom, I am rooted running just the stock Rom 6.01 currently. I have a SM-N900W8, so I assume I'll likely have to get the modem too depending on what ROM I choose.
My only concern is going backward, I don't know what kernel I might need to flash? Should be able to keep the answer simplistic in explanation, I just need the warnings and a basic checklist of what to do when going backward. And if I can complete this using just TWRP or whether I need to flash something with Odin or whether Flashfire might work.
Thanks in advance. Sorry I'm not a guy who has time to learn code. I try to donate if I'm going to use someone's work though. Just nice to have my phone run fast and smooth and be able to tinker...

Ok, I'm pretty good on flashing ROMs and using TWRP. But I was thinking of trying a 5.1.1 Rom, I am rooted running just the stock Rom 6.01 currently. I have a SM-N900W8, so I assume I'll likely have to get the modem too depending on what ROM I choose.
My only concern is going backward, I don't know what kernel I might need to flash?

Hi
What do you mean by 'going backward'? Do you wanna downgrade your device from Marshmallow to Lollipop? If yes, refer to this thread.
Hit Thanks if I Helped You!!!

Ok, if going back to a earlier version of Android, then flash the factory full ROM of that version through Odin, then flash custom ROM of same version. Got it, thanks. Sounds like the easiest way.

Stuck N915G
Am using a N915G , it was rooted with CW recovery , since yesterday it would go in restart loop , so i went into recovery and did a reset , still the loop would not go , so i took into a service center they tries kies and it would intall lollipop but half way through it will show " erasing " and then go back to boot loop , now at this point when i re checked the phone there is no CW recovery , so i tried Odin with Marshmallow to flash the system , it shows PASS but during installation " System updating .. erasing " then goes back to reboot so i flashed new set of Pit files , but still the phone stays in boot loop , vibrates then goes off to loop , what am i doing wrong
Won't power on after normal power off.
Hi,
i mean; when i turn of the phone with normal shutdown menu, device power off normally.
But when i attempt to turn on device again, it won't turn on. nothing happens when i press or hold the power button.
only the way to turn on again, "plug a charge cable or usb cable"
after it detects the charge, and shows charging. after then i can turn on the device normal.
but, not possible to turn on without plug the cable once.
so; what can be my device's problem. (there is no another problem) except fast battery drain.
my opinion; humidity damage? or something like that.?
can any oxidation causes this problem?
please reply for help.
thanks.

Sent from my Motorola XT1080 using XDA Labs
Hello, I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (N915T) Tmobile way back in 2014, I have since then forgot how to root again. I know that my phone is still rooted because I have SU.
My phone specs right now:
Bootloader: N915TUVU1ANJL
OS Version: KitKat 4.4.4
CPU: ARMv7-A (armeabi-v7a)
Kernel version: 3.10.0-2990579
I saw a post here in XDA about new Custom ROM (7.1.2 AOKP Nougat) and I would like to install custom ROM, and reading the instructions it states that it requires Bootloader 6.0.1 and Modem. I have no idea how to install bootloader and modem up to 6.0.1 on my phone. Kindly please guide me how to identify my current bootloader and how to upgrade up to 6.0.1. Thanks!
Hello,
I am using Odin v3.12.7 and I tried to select (twrp-3.0.2-0-tbltetmo.img) from Odin, but is not selectable because it does not have (.md5) or (.tar), where can I find a TWRP in those file formats?
What custom rom can i flush with my note edge sc-01g docomo japan,
Corrupt microsdcard and otg devices
Hi,
This is about my note edge N915G and what will follow has strangely happened with every kind of rom for the device stock rooted, aokp, customized stock, and slimroms.
What happens is
scard shows as corrupted after busybox/magisk7viper mods I mean the card is fine when I install busy box and magical and viper then in stall viper drivers and it is still good but when I reboot to activate the viper mods my card shows as corruption. I another thing that happens is when the card shows as corrupt, I I can try another card and still shows corrupt and strangely even the devices I connect through otg all show as corrupt. Ii think it is busy box which is needed for viper that does it, but am not sure.
Another guess is that maybe some embedded file on the phone has been deleted or corrupted and that is causing me the trouble. I have installed the Enhanced rom this evening and had set it up with closed root and magical. I it was all fine. I then I installed busy box using smart install and after that opened viper fx 2.5 and viper xhi=fi and each prompted to install drivers and they installed successfully and advised a reboot. It is after reboot that I opened my music player and found no songs which was be aise it is showing my card as corrupt. I strangely even if I reverse the process and uninstall viper drivers then viper apps and finally busybox it still does not change the status of the card. It is either that I install the rom again dirty or restore a system backup that was made while there were no add ons.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help figure this out as I do have the workaround of restoring system but it is tedious as I have to install all apps etc.
I would like to reiterate that this is not the kind of issue associated with Samsung phones in general where they are said to kill microsdcards. This is not the case and the card works flawlessly in a different phone which I did to check. My laptop too has no issues with same card it is a Samsung evo 64 gb card I'm using. Maybe they key is that even other as cards whether I put them in the card slot or in a card reader for otg it shows any card I use as corrupt and even my otg drives show up as corrupt. I think it is something I have never seen happening yet.
Thanks for reading this and for your suggestions and advice. I will look forward to your thoughts and inputs, knowledge and experience.

At&t Samsung Note Edge N915A 6.0.1
Hi I'm a noob. Last phone I "jailbroke" was a IPhone 3gs. Could you link me in the right direction to root my Samsung note edge from At&t 6.0.1 a list of procedures would be great, also a list of downloads. Anything & Everything I need on my phone or my Laptop to complete the process. All input would be appreciated. I just paid a large chunk of $ to Samsung to have my screen replaced and I am the original owner of my device which I paid a lot of money for in 2014, so I would hate to brick my device. Thanks
