HELP! Tried CF-Root on 5.1.1 - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I upgraded my firmware to TMO 5.1.1 then tried to use CF-Auto Root and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Is there a stock TMO 5.1.1 that I'm able to flash through Odin??

Flash TWRP with Odin
Reboot in recovery mode
Flash freeza beastmode kernel :good:

So I'm really screwing up. Before I did what you said, I tried to install another rom. In Doing so I wiped all data, system too. So the beast mode kernel was installed but now theres no os. Any suggestions?
EDIT: So I installed the Rapture rom and it looks like I'm good to go right now! Thanx

[Q] Phone only boots into CWM and can't get it to boot the ROM.

I can't get my phone to boot into the ROM, it only boots into CWM every time. Even if I restore my Nandroid backup I have it still won't boot into anything but CWM. .
Any ideas?

what rom are you trying to flash?
I was on MIUI Mintberry but then I tried flashing DMORE3.3 and it just messed up. Was not paying attention to what I was doing, stupidly enough.
But I wouldn't mind just getting back into my MIUI MB ROM and then I'll actually flash DMORE properly this time.

It was made by Nitr8, just a stripped down GB based on his insanity ROM
Very nice ROM! So, there's no chance I could now just restore to my MIUI Nandroid backup?

I really couldn't tell you, not familiar with miui, but you can always try,
I have the same issue here. I was running CM9 nightly and everything was working great for weeks. Then my android core process crashed and I decided to reboot the phone, but it got stuck and kept boot looping, i.e. not even making it to the CM9 boot animation and not allowing me to get a logcat.
I used ODIN to flash FixRecovery.tar.md5 and that allowed me to get into CWM recovery. I then cleared Dalvik cache, re-flashed CM9, rebooted but the phone always boots into CWM and never gets to the ROM. I even tried flashing Semaphore kernel in ODIN and re-flashed CM9 several times but to no avail.
My phone just keeps booting into CWM! Is there something I can do to fix this without having to restore to Gingerbread and lose all of my settings and data?
You can go back to the Original Firmware: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
Then you may root: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/
I had same problem with a galaxy s plus. I've installed the teamwin recovery and with that i flashed the broodrom. After that i got in a bootloop/recoveryloop.. The fix for that was just flashing the bootloader with odin So there was no need to reflash whole rom

Newly Rooted 4.4.2 - Only boots to recovery

Okay guys so I just rooted my att note 3 that was completely up to date using the towelroot.com method found here. Stupidly of me I was trying to follow a thread to change my system language in build.prop but after doing that It ONLY boots to recovery / safestrap. After the safestrap screen I tell it to continue to boot normaly and all i get after that is a black screen.
Any ideas? Is it possible to flash safestrap from odin / heimdall / recovery?
Ive tried factory resetting from safestrap and recovery and that didn't change anything.
I not even sure I have safestrap at this point I can get into recovery, and download mode but it sits at the "Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 [Unlocked Icon] Custom" screen. It wont actually progress to the safestrap.
Before I tried to edit that build.prop the root / safestrap worked fine all day today, restarted several times for different reasons and still worked afterwards.
I had no encryption enabled.
Via recovery -
"Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2"
**** This Worked ****
Possibly? this as a fix?
Would this be okay to use as a stock Kitkat firmware resource for an Odin flash?
Anyone have a N900AUCUCNC2 ROM or firmware I can flash?

i have the .zip files for it and odin 3
*it sounds to me like a bootloop or a softbrick, I would recommend using this odin 3 and flash the stock kk rom the one i have is the unofficial and is pre-rooted. but it works when i bricked mine repeatedly trying roms.

That'd be awesome if you could get that to me some how. I more or less have everything fixed but the wake-up after entering my pattern lock is ungodly slow so I'd like to possibly try a different one.

You are going to have to reflash stock firmware yes, theres a thread for it in general, might be a couple pages back. Just for future refrence, safestrap doesnt really work(in a fully conventional way) on lollipop, and you cant install twrp or cwm or philz or anything else.

Have TWRP installed on Note 5 DUOS SM-N9208 but phone only boots to android recovery?

I was trying to install TWRP on my Note 5 using odin and everything worked perfectly. I even got the green "PASS" icon. But when it rebooted, I turned off the phone to boot into TWRP using Home+Power+Vol Up, and I got a installing system updates icon, then a fallen android bot with a yellow cross sign on top, and then it loaded into default android recovery, not TWRP. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!
This happend to me too. What you need to do is to flash a custom kernel for your device because you installed a custom recovery and what happens is that that the stock kernel stops working or it gets erased, but the fix for the problem is flashing a custom kernel.

Thank you for the reply. I'm new to the rooting scene so by kernel you mean one of those auto root kernels you can flash through Odin?

I can't flash it through custom recovery because I can't get to it
But before you flash the TWRP again to your device and the kernel you need to download the official firmware for your Note 5 because it seems that you messed up real bad with you phone.
Just google official firmware N9208 and download it to then flash it through ODIN in download mode, then after installing the Firmware boot up the phone and set it up, after that you go to Developers Mode and enable OEM and USB Debugging, after that you download the kernel i provided above for your N9208 IN YOUR PHONE. Afterwards, go to Download Mode and flash TWRP through ODIN in your phone and then boot up the recovery and flash the kernel that is in thr internal storage of your phone in the Download folder. Now the phone should br rooted. If you still didn't understand the instructions then look up this video https://youtu.be/We6OUJvzve0
hope it works for you ?

Install Android 6 without root?

As the tittle says. Can I install Android 6 in my s5 mini without rooting? Or unrooting later. I have G800H model. Can I do it with odin? If someone can write the steps for me or paste some tutorial I'll be very grateful!

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.
Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Doing that I will erase the old recovery and the root? Because It's weird that recovery autodelete itself. Or how I have to do to delete the old recovery and the root? Or if i flash it with odin the new recovery will replace the old one?

Hi Zocker1304 and anyone else who wants to help. I downloaded the twrp from hennymcc from Androidfilehost.com and flashed with odin but now the recovery is broken. I lost the twrp and the original recovery too. When I try to go to recovery I get this message: Could not do normal boot. And goes to odin mode. What should I do? I'd like to delete everything and put it all again from zero.

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

I totally did it that way! because that's what the tutorial says. And eventhough it failed. So I don't know what's the problem
Maybe I need root after all and that's why it don't work. I tried a couple of times more and still had the problem

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.
