Currently using my first android device! Samsung galaxy note 3 for att and I decided to root it. I am currently running 4.3 but want to update to 4.4 in hopes of fixing some gps issues i've been having. I tried to use ODIN to load up the stock 4.3 firmware but have been encountering some errors. My phone no longer turns on, when it does it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I have downloaded keys 3 and tried to recover it using that but no luck. Am willing to post screens or answer any questions you guys may have!.
Are you on 4.4.2 or 4.3? If you're on 4.3, have you tried the MJ5 restore posted in the general section?

Im on 4.3. I've only tried using Odin and kies which have both failed me. what im about to try is "androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-at-galaxy-note-3.html".. can you link to your suggestion?
I'm not sure how to copy/paste links with Tapatalk, but if you go to the general sub form for the AT&T Note 3 on this website it should be on the first page. Look for a thread titled "MJ5 restore and optionally provides root" or something along those lines. It's a somewhat long process that can be intimidating at first, but if you read the directions and follow them exactly you should be good to go.

Hello,
Now I am sure this forum gets it's fair share people completely oblivious to rooting and such. The issue is I have bought a Galaxy note and have had it for 4 wonderful months so far. It's unlocked, i.e not bound to a network.
2 months in I tried rooting my phone, and well it was very clear and simple (through the youtube video, linking to here). A month later I also got Kies to finally work and updated my phone kernel, unfortunately I had no idea that with that the root disappears. I went to try and get my apps to work in the university which have their own proxy setting to access the net (which I have finally gotten used to), the apps however do not work and thus the need for me to root my phone.
The query (I apologize for the long winded post):
I currently have the kernel version
2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
Ok so I am aware that I will be looking for kernels portraying the LC1 version when rooting, however it seems that there is no easy way of rooting (as the youtube video I watched) for my current specific kernel.
I just would like someone if possible to guide me exactly with what to do, do I really need to root my phone or is there a way to get apps to go through proxy without rooting again?
Also, how would I root my phone this time? What files would I be loooking for and how simple >.> are they.
Thank you again for your time,
I would appreciate any help, but I beg of you please keep it as simple as possible xD
You have updated your note with Kies, so you lost Root. Kies/OTa update erases root.
Anyway, now you have option is to downgrade
You can find any older directly rootable ROM from here N Root as you did it earlier.
After rooting, dont use kies/OTA to update.
just use same thread (as shown above) to find latest ROM, N update using CWM OR Moble Odin Pro.
wheres cwm?
Hey doc. I followed all your instructions and all is well but i was just wondering how do i get cwm back? I have updated the kernal and the phone is still rooted but no cwn (mobile odin latest update states that they have removed the inject cwm) so i was wondering if theres anyway to get it back? Thanks in advance

I've been reading posts on this forum for about 2-3 hours now and I still have some questions.
I have a galaxy s advance with android version 2.3.6 and baseband version XXLK2
i48.tinypic.com/2rz78sm.png
I was planning on rooting my phone and then maybe installing a custom ROM on it.
But I couldn't find a rooted firmware for my region (BELGIUM). And I also couldn't find the stock firmware for my region.
Neither on sammobile.com and neither on samsung-updates.com
My first question is: can I use rooted firmware that's for another region or will this cause problems for me?
My second question is: can I use rooted firmware with another baseband version than XXLK2?
Third question: if the answer on the first two questions is no, how am i supposed to root my phone then?
fourth and for now the last question: what is twrp recovery, and what is it used for, do I need it to root my phone or flash roms?
Thanks in advance!

do you want to stay with gingerbread, or upgrade to jellybean?
because rooting and flashing is much tougher in gb than in JB! tell me that i can help you.
Hi,
I got the same phone / baseband version in Austria. Downloaded XXLK2 firmware from sammobile.com, used simg2img to extract system.img, add su binary (=rooted), made a new system.img with make_ext4fs and flashed with heimdall. Meanwhile I used the same procedure to root and flash the jelly bean firmware XXLPY released for the russian market. Therefore I guess you can also flash a different version of gingerbread.

if u upgrade to JB, root is a one step, 5 min process after which it takes a few more minutes to start flashing roms after flashing a new kernel with Clockworkmod. if u wanna start with jellybean, go here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094318(make sure u install the stock samsung rom first , then root then install recovery, then flash a custom rom) this WILL NOT void ur warranty
on the other hand rooting gingerbread is incredibly complex. if u wanna do that go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199
its totally safe to flash anither country firmware using odin.then root the supported firmware. also this will void your warranty,
then to install a new kernel with TWRP recovery , go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119
then finally choose the custom rom u want Jetmod or supressed and flash using TWRP(assuming you know how to atleast nter download and recovery mode!)
do all this in the same order.

You can't install any recovery by itself. It comes with kernel. Only kernel with permanent recovery - CWM is ThunderZap now.
1. Download JB, flash it with Odin. - go again to recovery - do factory reset.
2. Root with root.zip from stock recovery
3. Install kernel with CWM (ThunderZap) with dd command in terminal editor
4. Flash custom ROM from CWM recovery.

Search google "samsung download mode" and you should see image of it. When you power your phone with vol.down+home+power you get question do you want to continue. You press volume up to confirm. And after that with your phone connected and file in PDA hit start.

It should last couple minutes. Something is wrong at start. I am not saying redownload Odin, whole firmware file. But you did unpack it from zip, it should be noticable that it is corrupted when you did that on pc.

Try wiping cache reset in stock recovery and problem solve
I've succesfully upgraded to JB, rooted and flashed kernel.
Any suggestions about ROMS for i9070 ?
Recently I used ODIN 3.0.7 to try and root my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Telia) 4G with a so-called "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4".
It is the 16 GB, 2 GB RAM 4G/LTE version, and it was running at Android 4.1.2 when I tried to do the root.
The phone booted up fine and ODIN claimed it was a success, I immediately noticed that the phone had stopped recognizing my SIM card, and the Root Checker also stated that something was wrong and it wasn't rooted. so I download a stock ROM and try to install that, however when I choose the SD card to try and install it, it says no files are found.I had made it to the CWM Recovery tool on the phone, and I could start the phone that way ("Reboot Phone Now", but it still didn't recognize my stuff, so I tried following the stock ROM instructions I was given, and I wiped all data, cache and stuff after backing it up on my PC in the CWM recovery tool.
Now, at this point, the phone is stuck at "Downloading - Do not turn off target!". When I try turning it off, the screen goes black for 2 seconds, and then the screen appears again. If I am quick, I can get into the "ODIN" mode, where I can once again try and root it. It fails again, but now I get to the CWM Recovery Tool again, but no files are found at all, and if I reboot the phone, it just goes back to the Downloading screen (I left it on overnight and it stayed on that screen, by the way. I doubt it is ACTUALLY downloading anything).
I do not know the Kernel or ROM version. The phone was bought in the start of February, though, so I could imagine it's rather new.
What do I do now? I just wish to get my phone back to normal Android, normal everything even if it means a factory reset.
You need to goto the NV backup sticky thread in the dev section that I put together, look near the bottom.
Download the param binary and flash with odin to revive your device.

Time to reinstall a lot of apps, and be more careful with the root I pick.. ;_;
You already have root with this rom
Hello again, sorry for sort of necroing.
So I got it running again, there is one nasty problem, though - The phone won't recognize my SIM card, meaning that it simply doesn't register that there is one.
I'd guess the phone warranty is void at this point, so what do I do? Is there any DIY fix?

So I got it running again, there is one nasty problem, though - The phone won't recognize my SIM card, meaning that it simply doesn't register that there is one.
I'd guess the phone warranty is void at this point, so what do I do? Is there any DIY fix?

hard bricked galaxy sIII I9305
guys i got a much worse situation, my device is a galaxy I9305, and i turned my phone off during the flash of a firmware where it was saying "FAIL" for a long time. I'm desperate at the moment and i'm not finding out any way how to debrick it, any help would be greately appreciated! My device is stuck on "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" it's only this text in the center, with nothing more
I have two rooted s4 actives on stock rooted 4.4.2. Had no problems until recently it's been every day I get a nagging message about an ota being available. I can't seem to disable the ota check or Knox on kit Kat. The ota is for my firmware, apparently I'm a version behind but the phones work fine so I really don't want to fix what isn't broken. Any way to block these messages and the forced reboots? The updates fail every time but it's really annoying.

I think you mean you're on 4.4.2, maybe the NC9 firmware? If you are you have 2 options:
Delete, freeze, or rename wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex to disable OTA updates
Update to NE3 using the ML2 firmware and the NE3 OTA. You can re-root afterwards with towelroot, but make sure you back stuff up with Titanium Backup because the process will completely wipe your phone.
Yeah 4.4.2 typo fail. I'll check again but last time with my root file Explorer I could only find the .odex file.

I admit I'm fairly new to this phone. I know how to flash the ML2 firmware via ODIN. Now once that is sent to the phone, I leave it stock, if I go to settings -> More -> About Device -> Click "Software Update" Will that download the NE3 OTA? Both my phones are currently on NC9 firmware, I have no issues but my wife has some odd problems with her phone. So if I have to go to stock unrooted and reroot that's fine I'll do what I have to - I just want to make sure I know what I need to do before I start.
When trying to flash ML2 files ODIN fails every time. Is it possible to go from NC9 to ML2? I've installed the drivers from Samsung, it detects the phone in ODIN but it can't write to it.

Now when my phone boots I get "Fimrware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery Mode in Kies and try again" making it a paperweight...
Also tried on another desktop same results. At this point I'm a bit desperate as it's my only phone.

Flash everything but the bootloader and you'll be fine. Since you're on 4.4.2, you can't downgrade the bootloader back to 4.3, that's why it's failing.

Phone successfully restored to ML2. I'm now in the process of downloading the ML2 to NE3 OTA File. Hoping that the update goes smoothly. I thank you very much for pointing out my error!

if you don't mind posting, what was the hangup at your first attempt ? Too many files for Odin at first or something else ?
am trying to help out someone who appears to have the same problem as you did.

It was the bootloader. When the phone is upgraded to 4.4.2 it's boot loader can't go down from that. So the bootloader from ML2 is incompatible. When I flashed the other three files it worked just fine! Then I applied the patch to get the phone to the latest firmware. It's a .cfg file you rename it to update.zip and put it on the sd card. boot into the stock recovery and install the update. I must admit a few glitches I was having are gone now since upgrading to the latest greatest, and Towelroot made it stupid easy to root.
Ok, good to know, will pass on the information, thank you.
So here's my problem. I bought my Note 4 (SM-N910T3) with 5.1.1 and rooted. As soon as 6.0.1 released, I downloaded and flashed and then rooted a little later. I started having some small issues because of the root so I did some research and found a systemless root method on XDA that was a possible solution. At some point, probably from flashing MM, my Baseband and Bootloader got updated to the newest at the time. That was fine at the time but I starting missing some of the features of 5.1.1 that got removed in the update. So now I'm looking at iB4STiD's Rapture ROM which is build upon stock 5.1.1 but I've hit a pretty major wall. No matter what I try, how many times, I cannot flash anything through Odin, besides 6.0.1 that I haven't tried. iB4STiD provides the Baseband and Bootloader files to flash with his ROM which are for my specific model.
Now, I've read in a couple places that you can't downgrade your bootloader but that sounds weird to me so maybe someone can explain more if that's correct. Now for some info:

Yep I tried 4 different cables and different ports, including 2 OEM samsung cables that came from my Note 4 and an older phone. Nothing.

You can't downgrade T3 via ODIN once you upgrade to MM. So basically you are stuck with latest bootloader.

Yea that's what I was afraid of. My next issue though is I can't seem to flash ANYTHING via Odin. I even tried a stock rom that matched my current bootloader and it gave me the same error.

Use PhoneInfo application from Playstor to check your exact bootloader version and post it here. The error from your 1st post shows only when you try to downgrade.
I believe I've got the same problem (N910T, I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 so that I can install Rapture v8.2), except in Odin it stops at system.img.ext4 then fails. I tried restoring with my backup through TWRP but now it's giving me this:
extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
Basically I'm stuck with Odin and TWRP, I have the 5.1.1 firmware which doesn't work, and I'm currently downloading the 6.0.1 firmware and hopefully I'll be able to get it working again after this 2.2GB file finishes downloading with my 10mb/s internet -.-
