Hi,
Today i tried to root my Bell samsung galaxy note 3 version number SM-900w8 using this Odin. The problem i am having is that my phone is constantly rebooting and it says "Recovery Booting" and "Recovery is not seandroid inforcing". I haha no idea what to do at this point, can someone please help me. Odin says that my phone pass
KNOX and Lost your Warranty
There is no harm to your phone except that sadly you've triggered the KNOX flag and now your phone is deamed NOT UNDER WARRANTY.
Now that you are already there!!!
My advice is feel Adventurous and Try yourself some Custom Roms and Stick to the one you like best!
Trust me!
Once you go with AOKP you won't go back to TouchWiz
Regarding the Notice....It's few seconda and your device will boot back to normal.
Had it for some time now and it's become and normal thingy for me.
Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance
After rooting my phone it got stuck on the model name screen. So I downloaded a stock version and when I went to the odin mode to download the stock version the screen went black for a second an then it brought me back into the same screen. I tried getting it into recovery mode it did not respond at all. PLease i really need help, I've searched everywhere to find a way to solve this but i couldn't find anything.
So im trying to fix a freinds phone. He said it randomly shut off and started bootlooping on the samsung screen. So I flashed the same firmware using odin. It succeded restarted and still does the same exact thing?
No matter what I do I cannot get this damn phone to boot up. After holding vol down and power to soft reset it goes to a screen with a triangle and says installing update then to no command. If i soft reset then hold vol down and home with power download mode will come up. I cant get this phone to go into recovery the combination just brings me to the triangle screen. Maintenance mode wont even come up the triangle screen shows instead. I have knowledge of odin and flashing. Ive been flashing since the motorola cliq lol But this is making me scratch my head...Any ideas?
I want to add that when it freezes at the samsung logo the logo corrupts and gets black lines through it then restarts several seconds after?
Are you flashing all 4 firmware files with Odin or just AP?
Of course I am. I even went ahead and flashed another "non carrier" firmware to see if it made a difference and no luck.
BL
AP
CP
Home_CSC, I flashed the CSC when flashing a different firmware.
By the books and nothing seems to get this phone booting.
Have you tried just normal CSC? Home_CSC keeps data, it's basically acts as an in place upgrade rather than a fresh image.
If you're having issues you'll want a full clean wipe which means using CSC.
When trying a new firmware I flashed the "CSC" because it contains the pit file. So yes I have and that didn't work either.
The phone gets to download mode which tells me its not a brick. Still says "samsung official". FRP lock is off.
And just waiting it out doesn't work? Flashing from a custom Nougat ROM to stock Oreo was like 10+ minutes on the Samsung logo for me.
No as I said in op it always freezes at the Samsung logo over and over and over again.
My best guess is the system partition is corrupt and is un-repairable or the hardware was defect from the factory...but the phone has been In use for 2 years flawlessly...besides that it still boots up Odin(download) mode....so... Does anyone have any idea wtf is going on with this phone? Because anything I do just won't boot it normally. I can't root it and try a custom rom because "OEM unlock" isn't enabled. So WTF?
Please does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
I had some luck with getting it to the bootloader by using odin to flash the corresponding BL file. Then I flashed a combination file obtained from hardreset. But I am still stuck bypassing the FRP lock myself. Either I flash stock rom or firmware with ADB. It always get an error cllose to the end. Or the flash finished and the warning message is still there and I couldn't get pass the google authorisation stage.
So my Galaxy Note 5 was water damaged a few months ago and I just got it back up by replacing the battery. Problem is, I was trying to flash stock rom with ODIN and it seems like it doesn't do anything at all. When I try booting up the phone myself, it boots onto odin mode instead, and if I try going into recovery, it gets stuck on the TWRP logo (it had custom firmware before it was water damaged). I use the latest ROM sammobile has. ODIN isn't frozen or anything. It doesn't say that it isn't responding. It just doesn't progress further. Can anyone help me?
