[Q] Soft Bricked ODIN Error

Hey Guys tried to reroot via the De La Vega method after my phone updated itself. Tried to do so through ODIN didnt get anywhere. During the NAND write process it would come close to finishing then fail. Says AUTH error and phone says Secure Check Fail: System. Any fixes available yet? (did a thorough search and didnt find anything) thanks in advance. Oh yea Knox is @ 0x0 for kernel lock and warranty void.

What Firmware did your phone update to? If it updated to MJ5, Root De La Vega will not work. You will have to find another method.

If yours says MJ5 RDLV= No Dice

Yea it was to mj5, i ended up pulling a mj5 pit file from a dump and flashed it through ODIN to unbrick it. However im getting the direct pen input has stopped working error every time i try to go to a different screen.

Anyone reading this i found a way to unbrick and root again. My notes running good as new. Had to use ODIN and Heimdall. http://www.usofttech.com/t133026.html

Hi,
This is really a nice way to unbrick and root again, thanks

what version of odin are you using ? odin 3.09 is what is used for 4.3 and click ap for the file you want to install this should sort this issue for you

Mine is currently soft-bricked due to the same reason - but the link you provided isn't working (at least not for me). Anything I can use to search or find it otherwise? Thanks!

[Q] Is the same Towelroot okay on 4.4.4?

I just successfully Odin'd back to stock 4.4.2 and updated to 4.4.4. Now that I want to get rooted/a custom recovery again, is it safe to root via towelroot and then install safestrap?
I imagine this should be okay, but I'd rather just ask first before I brick my phone, and googling it doesn't seem to pull up an answer.
As always, thanks y'all.

safestrap doesnt work with 4.4.4. and i dont believe root does. thats why in the other thread there is a way to update to 4.4.4 and keep root but no more safestrap recovery for now. and no way back to 4.4.2
i kind of wish i didnt update so soon as i lost the ability to save files to my external sd now, there was a fix for 4.4.2 but no longer works on the new 4.4.4

So do you have a link to the process that you used to Odin back to stock that worked ?

this is the thread I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnj5-t2948355 but I was still on 4.4.2, once on 4.4.4 you cant flash back because of the kernel. if anyone else is reading this please correct me if I am wrong once on 4.4.4 we cant go back even with oden to 4.4.2

If you updated via Odin with the 4.4.4 then you can revert back. But if you took the original ota then your f'ed....for now

You can Odin back to factory stock NC2 at anytime, regardless of the method used to update to NJ5 4.4.4.

[Q] How to root my AT&T note 3 N900A 4.4.4?

Hi
I searched forum and got really confused how to root 4.4.4 all the instruction I find is kind all about 4.4.2
i search on galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
the direction point AT&T N900A to 4.4.2 link not 4.4.4. so i am totally lost, i tried download towelroot it says device not supported. so i am completely lost, I rooted my S1 and S3 before no problem but when I just got my note 3 and updated to 4.4.4 I am completely lost
Please help me
Thank you!

4.4.4 is tricky.
You need to use the Odin software to go back to 4.4.2 nc2 firmware.
Then you install and run towelroot.
Then you install safe strap.
Then busybox
Now you download the update from this
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57729221
Now you boot into safestrap to apply the update.. The update is 4.4.4 with old kernel
Then you install the kernel for 4.4.4 via Odin.
Note: I haven't done this yet since I just stayed on 4.4.2.

OMG thanks for the heads up... looks like alot hard work lol.... not i am regret to get 4.4.4 now should have stayed in 4.4.2...or look at this place update it, i think i will try roll it back to 4.4.2 and root it and stay that way, any link for the instructions?

That's what I've done. So yeah good plan.
Use this link it isn't exactly what you want but it shows how to use Odin and has the nc2 file hiding in there.

Have you tried to ODIN back to stock? I would start there.
Or use Kies to do a recovery. Either should fix the issue.

Did you happen to do a backup in TWRP before this happened? If so restore it as it defaults to save your EFS folder which hopefully will fix your problem. If not, also try doing an Emergency recovery in KIES, some have said that worked as well. Another way that some have said it worked would be to ODIN back to KK and then upgrade to Lollipop. Just some more things to try.

Sent you a PM with a link to look at.
Also try searching this site for EFS as that is where the IMEI is stored.

Anybody willing to help me with my imei ? Please. I would be so grateful. Thanks.

Did you guys try flashing just the modem.bin? Extract modem.bin from stock firmware then flash it via Odin.

Help! Unknown imei on N900a. Can't root, so how to fix?

OK this is beginning to annoy me greatly. I have the note 3 n900aucueoc1. My boss gave me this phone because it all of the sudden "broke". OK cool, a free phone I thought. Wrong. Not cool.
I figured out the problem has to be a screwed up efs folder because the phone won't read a sims card. The broadband version and imei are "unknown" and the Version is custom. Heres the weird part though. It isn't always custom. Once in a while when it's restarted it will load and it's version Will be official and everything seems to work.
The problem I am having is apperently, this phone cannot be rooted. I have no way to access and edit the efs folder. If it can be rooted please enlighten me because I've tried everything.
Any answers?? Help is GREATLY apprecitated!!

Hello. Your only choice for root would be a downgrade to 4.4.2, Install Towelroot, SuperSU, Safestrap & Busy box. If you want rooted 5.0 you'll need to flash Walter Whites rooted 5.0 OC1 using Safestrap.

OK awesome.. thank you.. I'm guessing the problem is the efs folder then? Now I just need to figure out how to downgrade. I'm sure there's a post on here somewhere about that lol.

In the general section there is a thread called "NC2 Odin files" or something like that... Download those.
Also, you don't need root to edit the efs... Download qpst and qdxm... I can't post a link but just google it

Awesome thank you. I found the downloads but it says it's for the galaxy s3. . Will it still work? Also why does my device switch from custom to official randomly.. like I said sometimes it works, or appears to anyways. Like right now the mode is in custom but everything appears fine.. is this a problem with the efs? Or something else entirely?
EDIT: OK wow I downloaded both of those but have no idea how to use them.. Google here I come. Answers to my other questions much appreciated.. I would think if my efs folder was messed up it would never work but why does it work sometimes and other times I get all unknowns?? Help please.
