excellent, got it to work, i was doing it whilst the phone was switched on and working... you have to do it during boot sequence....
if i am able to do this does it mean it is safe for me to flash with no risk as long as i follow the FAQ instructions?

My advice. Back the he'll away from beta froyo releases. Read all the problems ppl are having and you will understand. Missing apps, crashes and downgrafe problems. Wait til official froyo. I just skip all the problem posts where ppl say they have problems with jpc/froyo. Its not even worth my time anymore

Also if u screw up with froyo samsung is gonna just laugh at you. Wait til official release next month

Has anyone else gotten this while rooting?

Hey guys. I ran into some trouble trying to root my note 3 and got this message. Now the phone won't turn on our connect to kies to try to repair it. I have the Samsung drivers installed and I believe I followed the directions closely. Can any of you tell me how to get back to factory settings or all the way through the root process. I'm stuck at this screen for now. Any help would be awesome.

Try using the one click oding to get back to the stock firmware. Put the phone in download mode and flash the first step of the root procedure and then stop and make sure your phone will work in stock form first before you try rooting it again.

Instead of Pass in a green box, I get Failed in a red box and the progress bar on the phone stops

That's not good, maybe try a new download. Which firmware are you flashing? MI1 or MI9?

That's actually what happened when I tried to root. It would sit forever and fail due to a timeout. What I did is after the failure..I left the phone in dl mode and connected and closed the odin..then relaunched odin and it worked the second time. That's my experience and your mileage may vary..

Same thing!

The exact same thing happened to me... I tried to install Kies 3 and add the drivers but to no avail. So from there on I just closed everything. Disconnected my note 3, reconnected it, and ran odin once more. It immeadiately passed and rooted my phone.

I have seen that in the past it is the sign of a brick you definitely have to Odin back to stock to fix that

Yes it happened to me too. I just figured it was my crappy computer so I continued to try and after the 4th try I was able to achieve root status. Like a previous commenter suggested, it's a timed out issue.

Yea. I must have tried a dozen times a dozen different ways and I was stuck. I just said eff it and got a new phone. Debating if I want to try again, but I don't feel like potentially going thru the same heart ache. Really the only reason I care to root this phone is to get rid of those damn bloat ware apps; especially My Magazine.

Just went thru this on my Note 3 - chances are youre using a vm on a mac arent you?
Make sure you use a dedicated *windows* machine and not a vm (or at lest not a fusion VM) That was my issue, I havent tried parallels. I grabbed a dedicated win 7 machine and it works perfectly.
I was going to return it of that failed, which luckily it didnt.

Attempted to install new InsertCoin [Fail]

It gets to the end but shows install error 7 at the end, booted anyways, now just bootloops to eternity. No recovery is accessible only fastboot now.
Tried to install 3 recoveries through fastboot all passed but none bootup, factory resetted through fastboot, no go still. Not in anyway meant to steer people away from the ROM, others are reporting it is working fine for them. I can't and a few others it seems. Phones aren't done for, just temp out for the count.
Will clean up the thread and make things prettier but need to get to work, hopefully this gets some attention. Thanks for any help guys, I won't be able to trouble shoot for about 10 hours or more depending on work things.

Were you able to restore your backup, or perhaps adb push a new rom ?
If not, what is your fastboot getvar all output?

I can't access recovery. Others have posted they can get into recovery and revert back. I cannot get it to boot and stay in recovery for more then a second. I installed the latest cwm recovery before flashing all was fine. Any link to sideloading. Will try when I get home tonight, on a backup phone right now at work.

So I tried it.
Got a boot loop to where i keep rebooting at the set up menu. -.-
I can't push via ADB for some reason, it says my HTC isnt found when the last time I tried, i removed all data, then adb pushed but that was dangerous .

To anyone that reads, me being stuck in an endless bootloop will a fastboot erase cache fix my issue? I've read that numerous times... thanks.

I side loaded ARHD 31.0 HD fine.
what im probably gonna do is try sideloading it again, then S-OFFing my HTC. Idk why It wont let me s-off for some reason -.-
Tried without the volume thingy, still doesnt work btw.

Ok, cool. Did you check your download for md5 match. I didn't as the download size was correct, lazy and dumb move.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Okay now I need MAJOR help.
I deleted EVERYTHING off the sd.
I tried ADB sideloading and its not finding my device. I tried multiple drivers and still nothing. Im on Win 8.1

You should try it on windows 7

Ya I haven't read anything good about windows 8 and android. There is a thread around somewhere tho.

I just ran the ruu for my device, did it last night and all is good. What carrier and software do you have?

Good to know OP! Lucky you had a RUU to go back to!

How do I check if phone has a custom recovery?

Bought a used G2, it is unrooted and running stock 12B. The standard procedure for booting into recovery is to go into hard reset mode and continue. If there's a custom recovery phone will boot into that.
But if there isn't, it will actually do a full reset and lose all my data which I don't want to.
How can I check if phone has stock recovery on it?

if you didn't instal one then you don't have one.

Correct. From what I've read there's NO way to do this without risking a wipe.

Ummm... Can't you just turn on USB Debugging and execute 'adb reboot recovery'? You will either get custom recovery or the android dude with an open chest plate, should know pretty quick.

Try flashify from the playstore,it's free.it's actually a nice app to have, and it will definitely let you know if you have a custom recovery. Not sure if it's a root only app though.

WARNING! TOWELROOT:Phone does not boot after enabling U Power Saving Mode

UPDATE2: This only seems to happen if you uninstall the Launcher system app. Mine does not seem to be affected by Xposed or other mods, and works 100% fine now in U Power Saving.
Just decided to try Ultra Power Saving mode after rooting and modding my phone yesterday. I'm not sure what exactly caused it (xposed, root, w.e) but my phone will not boot past the ATT Globe now. Just thought everyone might appreciate a heads up that they may have to factory reset after enabling this setting.
I'll update if my phone decides to boot up (letting it sit now)
UPDATE: It seems that after rooting, U power saving does have the potential to BRICK your phone. DO NOT ENABLE FOR ANY REASON AFTER ROOTING.

My gut says the culprit was uninstalling Launcher.apk (thought it was the google launcher >_>) gonna have to factory reset now.

More info dude
You might have just freaked out a noob here. Root was just achieved yesterday for the Verizon and ATT platform. Please post your hardware software state so we don't get confused here.

Same here cant get past the logo did a factory reset in recovery and still a no go. I tried to Odin back but still a no go as the files we have to return to stock are older I guess than the version I had on my phone. I am not 100% sure what caused it on my phone. Ive let mine sit for 20minutes or so and no go. took out the battery for a few hours etc no go. So now I am looking for Firmware KOT 49.G900AUCU2AND3.

Are you sure that your didn't remove or freeze the launcher? If you don't have a third party launcher installed, freezing/removing the launcher.apk will cause the phone to not boot past the logo screen.

Nope I didn't delete any launchers. I left both in tacked stock and the Google launcher I was using before Root.

yup, enabling ultra power saving blows up the phone confirmed here also.. All i removed was the AT&T crap, shealth, drive mode, anda few other items.,. now phone is stuck at the black and white at&t logo wont do anything else..

I disagree. There are serious disk space concerns with this phone. If I am not going to use an app,and I have root, I am deleting it to recover the space it takes plus any associated files. If that breaks something, then that sucks. You can always reinstall through factory reset.

I'm fairly confident your wrong. Factory reset won't make uninstalled system apps reappear. That's why they don't let you delete them normally.

Just Odin back to stock after Odin flashes reboot into recovery and wipe all data reboot and all should be well

Suggest that someone change the title to include AFTER TOWELROOT in there. For someone like me who had the files on the phone but just didn't pull the trigger yet, it will better keep them informed.

You wrong if you have lock bootloader and you took update and bootloader is updated you can't odin back to previous version. We don't have current (updated) odin file for AT&T S5 yet.

Can anyone confirm that after unrooting with superuser it Will be safe to use ultra power saving mode?
