I was running DynamicKat 2.1 and somehow lost SS recovery reboot. In the process of trying to restore it I wiped my phone and had to revert back to MJ5. It is up and running fine but I can't get it to root. I have been to this point a few times but the rldv.zip method from, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 , I used before isn't working or Klingo Root, which I also used the first time I rooted my Note 3 isn't detecting phone. I just did this a few days ago to get root but for some reason now it isn't working. I need to get root back so I can boot into SS and get back to DynamicKat. Any tips or advice on something i am possibly overlooking this time would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try deleting your current USB drivers, plug in your phone, let Windows reinstall them, and try again. This always worked for me after reverting to MJ5 and Kingo wasn't detecting my phone.

hello friends i could really use some help and if anyone was willing to instant message me via skype or hangouts or fb messenger or whatever i would really appreciate it!
here is the problem i face:
So i was running dynamic kat 4.2, i flashed the 4.4.4 google dialer and it gave me issues, so i flashed back the old dialer (i wasnt supposed to do that!). I ended up getting "core.android has stopped" so i went to do a clean flash of 4.2 in safestrap and i made a nandroid backup then proceeded to wipe everything besides micro sd. (which is the way i have always been instructed to do it), I reboot my phone after the wipe and blam safestrap is gone and i just get a "samsuing galaxy note 3 boot screen". did i totally brick my phone? i know i can get into the stock recovery so i was wondering can i flash safestrap via the stock recovery or do i need to do the whole mj5 restore shebang i REALLY do not wanna do that!
any help asap would be massively appreciated!
thanks so much

If you have a N900A, you can just Odin to 4.4.2 NC2. It's much easier than the MJ5 restore process and you can use Towelroot to root and reinstall Safestrap. Just make sure you use Safestrap 3.75.
OK it's been a while and I have screwed up some stuff.
I have the att note 3 and I"m rooted running 4.3 build NB4. I had some stuff frozen and xposed things setup. Been running fine and really haven't messed with anything for 6-7 months. I'm selling the phone and told the person buying it I would leave it on 4.3 stock rooted.
So I just did a factory reset / wipe cache. Now when it boots up I get a samsung keyboard force close error and can't do anything until I change to something else. I figure there will be other issues also, I realize now I should have undone things, but it's to late.
So what do people recommend. My first thought was to somehow flash the NB4 files, but i don't have custom recovery.
So any suggestions, steps or files would be much appreciated.
Can you not just odin to reflash it back to stock 4.3?
Maybe but i cant locate the files to odin and im not that famaliar with how to use odin. Can some provide a liitle guidance.

I don't think you will find it NB4 build for odin. I was looking for firmware for some time and had no success. You need to get back to NI9 than find update NI9 to MJ5 and then MJ5 to NB4. So i will suggest find this updates so you can sideload after you get stock NI9. and i think you have all files you need to do this here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51468226&postcount=10
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?

Hello I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 AT&T smn900a running 4.3 rooted using Kingo root. Everything was great until about two weeks ago when many apps quit working and I followed some tutorials and deleted the host file and it still wasn't working. I've been tried to reflash my phone to get it back to the start and it failed I have the original files but it won't let me flush them. Now superseded says it needs to update the binary and fails every time and it says I don't have root access. Ultimately what I would like to do now is put my phone back to stock and upgrade it and reroot. Everything I have tried has failed and I have been messing with this for over 2 weeks now. So if you're able to help me I will pay you money. The easier you make it for me the more money I will pay you this is beyond frustrating as I consider myself a somewhat techie guy so let's see what you got.
Sounds like maybe you can't write to SD. Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en
I can write to sd I just can see previous apps put on the sd before before I tried to flash to stock.
Did you try using Odin to flash back to stock?
Hello I'm not really that good with mobile tech so excuse my noobness but i decided to dive in and try to root my samsung s6. Here is step by step what i've done so far
Following a few tuts after backups i rooted my phone and verified it with root checker.
Next I downloaded a few popular root apps and removed a bunch of bloatware on the phone
Today I decided to try to install a custom ROM for my phone, after finding a suitable one for my model I proceeded with his guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Next I downloaded all the correct files (I'm confident I double checked)
Now I'm not sure if this is where I went wrong but I installed TWRP custom recovery first
Then I proceeded to install modem with Odin and that went fine it passed and phone restarted
But when I go to install bootloader under BL in Odin it just fails, tried 3 times same result
Can anyone suggest another step in troubleshooting this? If it helps I was running stock samsung os never tinkered with the phone before this
Any advice is appreciated and please let me know if there is any more info i can provide
Thanks
EDIT:
Ok so I posted this late last night after trying to figure it out for a while. This morning I left for work to discover I had no mobile capabilities at all. No data, call, text nothing. Last night I was connected to my wifi at home so I guess I didn't notice. This has been obviously brutal with no communication all day. I tried tinkering a bit with it (did a factory reset through TWRP, tried flashing everything through TWRP) and nothing really helped.
Now I'm not really sure how to proceed so any advice would help as I don't want to brick my phone. What I'm planning on doing next that is the only thing that makes sense to me (again I have very little experience with phones) is to:
1. Re-flash everything through TWRP
2. Re-flash using stock rom, stock bl, and stock modem using Odin
My questions are is there any particular order I need to do this in and also will I have to re-root the phone again after or will this just be the stock rom but still rooted?
Thanks again literally ANY ideas u can throw out here go a long way as I've opened myself a can of worms
