I rooted through towelroot. Then I installed safestrap and alliance rom. This all occurred around 6:00 am this morning. Everything installed and was working. I woke up around 9:30 and started cleaning up my instal i.e. settings in Nova, hiding unnecessary apps the like and then i realized that my phone would not connect to wifi. I tried all of the pedestrian stuff like remove battery, toggle wifi on and off and toggle the airplane mode on and off. Still no wifi. Then I went back into Safestrap and the goal was to reflash the rom. But I think that i wiped the wrong partition or something because i have been stuck at the note 3 splash screen with the custom lock symbol. I went to Best Buy to see if they could flash the factory image, Nope. Then i came how and tried kies, it would not recognize my phone. I am trying to flash back to factory preferably without root. I youtubed and found an old video with an old file at Sammobile. and i am currently downloading it and odin 3. Am I on the right track or am i screwed? I have not rooted a phone since my Droid Razr Maxx. Please Help This is the only thing that i have to communicate with my family. And yes, I am an idiot

Thank You Jefferey coffman 45. I PM'ed Walter White 2 hours ago and he turned me on. This was the longest i ever went without a solution. I was a little puckered.
Hi Sir. I have the EXACTLY the same problem you had. First, my wifi stopped working so I wiped cache. After Wiping the phone is stucking at splash screen with the custom symbol. Have you figured out a way to fix your phone? If you do, would you mind share the process with me please? Thanks a million in advance.

Guys, just flash MLG on with Odin. Install the NC2 Kernel w/ Odin and root w/ Toweroot and Safestrap. Then you can reflash a new rom.
Edit: Here is a good guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
Note: Must have NC2 bootloader which im sure you do since you used towelroot.

I have a note 3 that I'm trying to get Cyanogenmod 11 on to. I should note that I got this working with my Droid Razr earlier today using the exact same process. I get to the point where I flash the rom and it only takes like 5 seconds then says "successful". When I boot the rom I just get a black screen that I have to hold the power button down to get out of. My note 3 is running 4.4.2 I have root and busybox is installed. I've tried safestrap 3.72 and 3.75. I've even tried the stock slot (and then reverted back when it didn't work). I'm out of things to try and I can't find anyone else who has had a similar issue. Anyone got any ideas?
If its an N900A or N900V, you can only run TW based roms because the bootloader is locked.

How are people getting cyanogenmod 11 on their att note 3s if not through safestrap?
I don't know of anyone with an at&t note 3 running CM. It's possible they're using an N900T, or an N9005 Note 3 on at&t.

noob over here needing help
i have the ATT Note 3 with the locked bootloader. i cant rememeber the model name but i think its like I900A. anyway i have had it rooted for about 5 months or so and i have had safestrap and busybox and use Xposed wanam. also using twrp and titanium backup. well i have never flashed anything on it cuz ive always been sketched out with the locked bootloader and not being able to flash kernals and all that. so yesterday i figured i would try one out and see if i could get it. i used the "S5 Experience" rom and i downloaded it from MEGA onto my ext. SD under a new folder i made called "s5 experience". i then went into recovery mode through safestrap and went to "backup" and then made a backup of data, cache, and system. after that i went to "wipe" and did a factory reset/wipe. when that was done i went to "install" and found my "s5 experience" on my ext. SD and installed it. when that was done i rebooted my device and it popped up with the samsung note 3 emblem and under it the little lock underneath it in the unlocked position just like it always has. then went to safestrap with the little red robot and "safestrap: disabled" like always. so i hit continue and from there is when my problem started. the blue LED light on the top left turned on and stayed on but the screen stayed black. this is the problem i am still having right now. if i press the power button it will vibrate or double vibrate and eventualy if i hold it down i can get it to restart. after that i went into recovery again and tried to restore from my backup i had made just earlier. when i try that it goes for a while and then will eventually say that restore has failed. ive mesed with some of the settings and stuff in the twrp recovery interface but not much because im new and not sure what i should and should not be doing. so i started looking here. i didnt find any help on the S5 Experience forum and i havent found and other forums that have this problem except maybe this one. so i am asking for help, if someone would be so kind as to walk me through how to fix my phone and what i did wrong it would be greatly greatly appreciated. if at all possible i would love to keep all of my pics and apps and stuff but if that is not possible then i wont complain if i have to lose it all. i would be happy just to have a working phone again. thanks in advance and sorry if i have posted this in the wrong place.

If you can boot to stock recovery (power+home+volume up) NOT safestrap recovery do a factory reset from there. That'll reflash stock rom and you can reroot + busybox + SS. Make sure to check what build you are on as well - if you are on NC2 kitkat you can only flash kitkat-based roms.

brisinger08, thanks for the input. i was running kit kat. i figured the s5 experience would be based off of kitkat too but i guess i should have checked first. i just tried that. when i got into the recovery boot the little android guy falls over. then i went to factory wipe and let it wipe. after that i went to reboot. when it rebooted it still had the little lock under the Samsung logo and after that screen it went straight to safestrap again. it hasn't seemed to change anything as far as i can tell. any other ideas?

If you're on the A3 bootloader then reflashing NC2 with odin will clear this up, (double-check in download mode) then follow the instructions in this thread. If you're on A2 you can still do this but it will overwrite your bootloader and lock you into NC2 so if that's the case you might want to read through that thread to make sure you're ok with that!
I am returning my phone back to stock so I can trade it in. I found a few threads on here that have ways to unroot but some seem questionable. Can anyone point me in the right direction to unroot an official Kit Kat updated device?
Thanks
Assuming you have supersu, uninstall all of your apps that have root access (for safestrap, busybox, etc make sure to uninstall the in-app stuff first), i would reboot here but that may not be necessary...then open up supersu and choose "full unroot". Then factory reset and double check status is official ☺
If you get a custom screen after that try rerooting then full unroot with supersu again
Edit: I stand corrected - flashing NC2 with Odin is easiest
Yeah I have su. So before I do this should I restore my stock rom I have backed up via safestrap? I am currently running dynamic kat 5.0
You can also reinstall factory firmware with Odin, then factory reset.

Did you backup stock rom before you flashed the custom rom in safestrap? if yes, reflash your backup in safestrap then the steps in post #2 should work. If no, I'm really not sure how going through that unroot process with SuperSU while still on a custom rom would work out...Odin is much easier and more reliable so if there's any way you can get to a PC you might want to go that route.
Also if you're selling online you might find some people who do want to buy a rooted Note 3...I sold a phone on swappa a few months ago and there were people looking specifically for rooted phones. The 'cartoon thing' is safestrap and is exactly what you want to see when you turn on a rooted AT&T Note 3

Thanks for your feel good message...made my day. I thought I backed up stock rom however being an obviously root virgin...When I went to factory reset, everything was gone except for my ugly cartoony friend. Luckily I am able to read in small doses so I was able to do whatever it was I did to get her running factory...still rooted and unlocked. When you mentioned that people on swappa might be interested in a rooted device WITH my lonely friend at startup? I felt all fuzzy. I will post an ad on swappa later today in your honor my mysterious phoneguardian angel. Thanks again.

Good Evening XDA Note 4 Devs/Users,
The Bad News;
I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. and, Hopefully.. one that isn't permanent.
So, I was planning on reinstalling Firekat 4.4.4 after being on CM12 (Lolipop) Remix. everything went super till I went to wipe my data/cache. In the process of being yelled at by two people and in the stress of it all I accidentally wiped the system data too. Which, seems to have deleted just about everything.. including the original backup of my device, the two ROMS and the system OS. The phone is also claiming not to be rooted now and TWRP seems to have been deleted too. The only thing I can really do is boot into download mode which ODIN keeps refusing to detect. and, Windows 8.1 keeps thinking the phone is a Banana.
The Good News;
I May have a Backup of the Original Unrooted TMO KitKat stored on my Laptop from ODIN.
I May Be able to push the Unrooted ROM by ADB / ODIN
I can boot into Download mode.
So, knowing my predicament and knowing I screwed up. Any advice or help from here to get the device working again?
Also, I promise not to try and turn the phone into a brick again. :good:
Thank you in Advance! :highfive:

I'm on FK, I always wipe everything. As long as my Zip (for install) is on the external SD card, I'm good. So what's wrong?
As for not having TWRP, I would also just Odin to stock, reinstall it. Should be an easy fix.

I came from a phone that if you end up deleting everything like this. You bricked the device completely with it not even turning on. (Older android phone). So, Naturally. I thought I had screwed myself with it. lol
I did fix it though right after I posted the thread. I managed to get one of the rom's to flash through odin. (so, I guess I did not accidentally unroot it). I think I Love Samsung phones now that I can accidentally brick it and then still get myself out of trouble with the help of you all
I dont know anyone who has bricked a samsung in a while. Odin is great. Only mess up would be if you delete pit file

I couldn't get into download mode. The phone was completely unresponsive to all button combos and my laptop. I tried a USB jig, an unbrick image flashed on an SD card, yelling at it, and sending it off for JTAG but nothing could bring it back. I was quite sad because I had a lot of good memories with that phone, but my Note 4 fills the void nicely.

Okay so to start I followed this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120 all the way through and my phone was rooted and I was happy. One day I tried to install TWRP since this is what I used on my Galaxy s3 before this phone. It got stuck on on a boot loop. I eventually tried flashing every stock ROM which did not fix the problem because ODIN would fail when trying to flash. Eventually I tried flashing the "G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel" supplied in the tutorial. My phone magically booted up and all my APPS and stuff was the same as I left it and it was still rooted. I decided not to mess with it anymore. This happened about a month ago.
Today, my phone had a notification saying that there was an update and I tapped remind me later. Eventually, I installed Titanium Back up to force closed the AT&T Software Update app the phone came with. Then. it automatically updated and eventually got stuck into the boot loop again. No problem, I fixed this before. What I noticed from the first time was that I had a screen that said "Secure Fail: Recovery. System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help" Once I flashed the stock kernel from the tutorial I never checked to see if the recover menu was there.
So right now I have my phone working and its rooted. I installed the "Phone Info" app and it says Bootloader Version:G900AUCU2ANG3. Eventually, my phone will try to update itself again and it will fail causing it to boot loop. I am not sure on what to do. Is there a way for me to have my recovery menu back? I just want to have the option in the future to revert everything back to normal in case I sell it or feel like having the newest OS. Also it would be cool to have a recovery menu on my phone again.
I know this was long but I needed to solve this problem before it gets out of hand in the future. Also I am pretty sure others have followed the tutorial and might have had the idea to update the OS or something else and had a problem similar to mine.
Thank You Very Much.

And if so using titanium backup just freeze the ATT update app I forget what it's called exactly but you'll know it when you see it and that'll stop your device from trying to automatically trying to update

Even after a year on Android, I'm quite the novice, so please bear with me. So, I rooted my Moto X '14 using CF Autoroot because it was so easy. But, I had no idea how to unroot. So I googled some stuff and I attempted to flash back to total stock rooted rom and recovery. Foolishly, I picked the option to not wipe. So, when it rebooted, it went to the boot screen and crashed.
After trying everything, I realized I had no choice and did an external reset. So, hello 2014 because I'm back on KitKat but still was rooted. After looking around, I realized I can 'unroot' by pressing the option on SuperSU. But, I think all I did was revoke root access because on the bootloader, it still says modified.
I tried to go back to lolipop, but every time I take the OTA, the install crashes, but my phone works fine. So, what I wanna know is how I can go back to stock. Is it easy as flashing as flashing a 5.0 factory image? Or is there more I have to do?

Just flash system and the root will be gone. Also, if you have other mods like TWRP or different modem the OTA won't install, so in order to get the latest update just flash all the files
Good luck
