[How-To] Root G900AUCU2ANG3

**Make certain that your reactivation lock in security settings is off before beginning this process**
1. Take the NG3 OTA update.
2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.
5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel also using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
6. Install SuperSU to manage root access. Done!
Notes:
1. After flashing the ND3 kernel your phone may run a little wonky and towelroot may not root on the first try. If that happens reboot and try towelroot once again. Once rooted and after flashing the NG3 kernel your phone will once again run like a champ!
2. Following the above process will not affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.
3. Should the NG3 ota update fail consider returning to stock NCE by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the NG3 OTA update (or place the G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery). Once updated to NG3 continue from Step 2 above.
Alternative Method for Safestrap Users:
1. Place the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Use Safestrap's Backup Function to back-up User Data.
3. From the Safestrap recovery perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
4. Flash the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip using Safestrap's "Stock Slot."
5. Then press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data.
6. Once complete press "Home" then "Reboot" and reboot into "Download" mode.
7. Last, flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Notes:
1. The G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery to NG3 but does not include the NG3 Bootloader.

It looks like I can't OTA to ND3 anymore. The software update gets me 160MB update directly from NCE reflash.

That's not a bad thing/ I can create a "KeepRoot" zip for it. Can you pull it from your cache/fota folder and upload it and send me a link? Thank you.

Yes. If you have any trouble re-installing safestrap using the apk just install SELinux Mode Changer from the Playstore and set to permissive.

The file in cache/fota folder is has the name something.cfg. I should change it to update.zip, right?

Not necessary to rename before uploading.

I sent the file to you. However when I want to test install the file in stock recovery, I always get error and it will not update (but I can open in computer with 7zip or other programs). Not sure if the file itself has problem.

No. I ODIN back to NCE, no root. Then I rerun update from About/software update. It does download 162MB file, then boot into AT&T logo. It will update until 30% and reboot, then the firmware is still NCE.
I am starting to think the file that people download from NCE is actually the same as those with ND3. However the file expects ND3 so it won't install (hence I get the error both with running the app and install in recovery). Notice all those people saying update fail in another thread?

The file you sent me is definately an NCEtoNG3 version of the OTA. Which NCE Odin .tar are you using to flash back to stock NCE? Please send me the link. Also. what is the error msg when you sideload from stock recovery?

The NCE Odin .tar that you flashed does not contain the non-hlos.bin. The non-hlos.bin is in the BL file in that set of .tars which the OP tells you not to flash. Likely beacuse if you are on the ND3 bootloader your wifi may go out or your phone may run wonky if you flash the NCE non-hlos.bin.
Here is the NCE modem pkg including non-hlos.bin. Flash in PDA or AP slot in Odin: G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem
Just go into stock recovery after flashing and re-sideload the NG3 OTA. I will put together an All-in-One_NCE_Odin.tar with the non-hlos so that other won't run into this issue. Someone will have to test.

[Q] I9305 4.4.4 to 4.1.1 downgrade with Knox bootloader

I would be very grateful for some assistance with this, after trying many firmwares with Odin (most now blocked because of Knox bootloader), custom recovery etc. etc.
Basically I want to downgrade my I9305 from 4.4.4 to 4.1.1 so that I can use the 'trick' for SIM unlocking the device. This is after finding out that GalaxSim Unlock can't be used with this device, which I tried after rooting under 4.4.4.
I have a 4.1.1 firmware on the way which I can flash with Odin, but I'm conscious that each time I do this since upgrading to 4.3/4.4.4 the Knox bootloader comes up with 'Unsupported version'.
Is it possible for me to copy the boot.img file from the 4.4.4 firmware package and replace the boot.img file in the 4.1.1 package? Will that work? I don't really understand the ins and outs of this yet and it's getting very frustrating when I can't find any answers on Google to these specific questions.
If the above doesn't work, what option do I have to downgrade to stock 4.1.1?
Many thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for this; I got excited that it might finally be a solution but alas, when I try to install the ROM in CWM recovery (6.0.4.7) I get the following message:
format() expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/stock411.zip (I renamed it and copied it again to internal phone storage in case it was a bad transfer to ext SD card previously)
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
A quick search suggests a bad download perhaps? Will try again in 5m (when the re-download completes) but if that fails I'm back to square one.
Do you think it'd be possible to flash another stock firmware in this manner? If you flash from CWM does it never affect the bootloader/Knox? Or is this error message coming from a Knox-type block, do you think?
Thanks for your input.

Update
Late last night I somehow managed to flash a stock 4.1.1 ROM from a rather messed up 4.4.4 (following CWM recovery backup restore [apps were 'stopping' left right and centre making the phone unusable, even after wiping cache and delvik cache]). This enabled me to do the dialler trick and remove the SIM lock.
Today I've tried 3 different 4.1.2 ROMs and all fail with SW Rev. Invalid Magic String (or something similar) using Odin. After the first failed attempt I thought ok, I'll go back to 4.1.1; however when I tried this the phone got stuck on the first Samsung I9305 boot screen and, oddly, I couldn't get into recovery mode - the only option was download mode. I resolved this by flashing 4.3 (which fails with Device 3, Binary 2 or some such message. After that failure though, flashing 4.1.1 works and got my phone back to where it was before.
This is all rather confusing but I assume the 4.1.1 ROM doesn't come with recovery/boot images and requires these from a failed 4.3 flash, or something like that.
Anyway, I guess the upshot is: there's a specific 4.1.1 ROM out there for I9305 which works through Odin despite Knox bootloader being installed on your phone. It's on TSAR3000.com (I can't post links yet 'cause I'm new, but you can find it through Google if you look hard enough).
Any feedback on the above behaviour encountered during my first foray into the land of rooting, flashing and SIM unlocking that may help me/others understand what's actually going on behind the scenes would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Downgrade is very easy. Extract that tar and then select all files except sboot.bin because sboot is the bootloader which causes downgrade fail then compress them into tar agin using 7zip then flash. First do all this with 4.1.2 firmware then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.1☺

Now select all files except sboot.bin and compress into tar file by using green + button or left click options and the flash with odin google it how to flash with odin there many detailed guides available.
And I don't know that sboot.bin is in 4.1.1 firmware you can check by extracting that tar of 4.1.1 as you done with 4.4 file if any sboot.bin is there remove it and compress all remaining fies into tar again and flash.

- Connect the USB cable to phone
- Check if all options are corrects, and press Start.
- Once the installation process complete, your phone will restart and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.

I followed your directions step by step and even received a green "pass" sign in Odin but baseband still shows the old version. Can you think of anything that could possibly went wrong? I appreciate any help.

Thanks !! Now it's OK for me !! In fact I flashed using odin but without power off to go in download mode ! the download mode from the rom does not work.
I modified a little your tuto. With odin 3.09 I put the bootloader file in BL section and modem in CP section(not AP)
Big thanks for your help !

You are welcome...
EDIT: Anyway, also if you put the modem on AP (or PDA on v3.07), the modem flash correctly (tested by doing it as a mistake!!)... For your information, when a new rom is released, I always unpack the firmware to clean the package from recovery image (this to avoid to reflash TWRP), so I can prepare easyly and fastly the modem and bootloader tar.md5 files... if you need, ask me and I'll provide them... I prepare always tar.md5 that has self-checksum control when opened on Odin

What version do you use of Odin?
I suggest to use the v3.07, not the last one v3.09... In my dev teams, we tested and seems that older one is more stable than the last... here the link for v3.07 (in case someone need): https://mega.co.nz/#!pVwUEaqK!QWtWKBNrBklhmVDY1hOjJGC8nr6GEjy4qEVvhTbDrRs

Thank you for your reply. I tried 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09 all with the same result. It flashed, said "passed" but Baseband didn't change. I found out that I lost root somehow (maybe through the last update of the ROM?). I re-rooted and then I could flash the modem with V3.04. Thank you so much!

I'm glad I helped. If you updated the ROM, you lost for sure the root... anyway from now I think you can flash with Odin the new future Modem without issues... you know how to do it!!

Weird, after I did the whole reroot thing, I installed the latest CM12 nighty, had random reboots like many others I found out later. Root still worked. So I did a factory reset, flashed an old version (from 22nd) and lost root again. Never mind, thank you again!

put the extracted firmware files into c:\odin
delete hidden.img and cache.img
then the command in cygwin to change to that directory would be
cd /cydrive/c/odin
then enter the re-tar command as described in my guide and flash the n910f.tar file with odin! this will work 100%!

Sorry guys.. can i flash N910FXXU1COH4 HUI (h3g italy) on my no branded note?

I uploaded to Mega the tar file without error Too Big. Just flash with odin.

3.3 go it's very crazy O_O

Ok finally got through the change directory, created the tar as described and flashed it with Odin. Stuck in bootloop. Tried installing twrp recovery, either failed with odin or when trying to boot into recovery it automatically went into download mode.
Flashed my regions stock rom through kies emergency recovery. Boots up fine, works fine. Next flashed the 5.1.1 Tar image. Same problem, endless booting sequence (gets up to home page and then reboots).
Anyone have some suggestions?

"No OS installed" T-Mobile Note 4

Hey everyone,
I hope I posted this in the proper area. I've run into a problem with my Note 4. I wiped it and now if I try to reboot from TWRP, it says theres no OS installed. If I do reboot, it gets stuck on the samsung Note 4 screen.
I need to get this up and running asap. Could someone please help?
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed and I have Odin 3.09 on my desktop. I would really appreciate detailed instructions and download links to anything else I may need so that I can get my Note 4 up and running again.
Thank you.

That's my problem. I haven't been able to find any rom for Note 4. Last I remember, there wasn't anything on sammobiles for Note 4. Would love a stock firmware right now so I can flash it.

UPDATE: I found a stock firmware from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...uide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156
just tried to flash it and I got a fail. I followed the instructions exactly but it failed.
Any idea why? Or what I should do?
Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
File analysis...
SetupConnection...
Initialization...
Get PIT for mapping...

Maybe I can transfer a backup to my memory card and restore off of that? I would just need a backup... Anyone?

did you try: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...om-n910t3uvu3epj2-stock-rooted-odex-t3501592?
Also, I would update to latest TWRP (3.0.2, i think)

I would just Odin back to stock firmware if you dont have a backup. you probably wiped the wrong partition or something, I've seen this message before too and that's how I got my phone working again

Nothing unfortunately. Just to be sure I did it right ... I downloaded the kernel zip file in that thread. Transferred it to my sd card, loaded it back onto my phone, went into twrp, hit install, found the zip file and installed it. a few seconds later, it was done. I rebooted. It went to the logo screen again and then it back to TWRP. IDK what to do anymore

So, the COD6 seems to be damaged or something. I couldn't use it. And the ANK4 I already had and still getting a fail.
It's been a long time since this occurred. IDK if this helps but when the phone was still up and running. For some unknown reason, I went to my app drawer and uninstalled/deleted Superuser. Could that be a reason why I'm having an issue flashing my Note 4 back to stock?

Could someone possible send me a backup file from a Note 4 so that I could restore my phone and then factory reset? Maybe that'll get my phone up and running.

YES!!! I fixed it!!! Why didn't anyone tell me that I couldn't flash a stock (kitkat) rom if I had previously updated to Lollipop or Marshmallow? Fortunately, while searching "write fail: aboot" a thread came up and someone mentioned it so I downloaded a marshmallow rom and that was it. I'm up and running now.
