Good evening everyone. :3
My I wanted to root and put a new ROM in my phone, and it didn't succed so well as I'd hoped for. /:
First off I I did a factory reset using the tool in settings. (That's a full wipe, right?)
After that I rooted my phone using this root thingie, and I chose to use Method 2: Root + CWM recovery, and I followed everything correctly and it seemed to have worked out fine, I had the CWM & the superuser app in my phone after the restart. c: I did not touch them though!
Anyways, before the rooting, I put the ROM in my DCIM library, and I chose to use the CHECKROM, V4.
So when I finished the rooting, I went to this ''volume up'' mode, and installed the ROM. C:
Once again everything seemed to go with the flow.
When the installation was complete & it said ''Everything is good, restart your phone''. I did, and now the screen is black, the only thing I see when I start it is the white text saying ''Samsung GT-N7000'', and it blurs/fades away.
I can't enter volume up mode (Recovery mode?), but I can enter the download mode.
FYI: After the rooting and the installtation of the ROM I made a backup!
I can't find my phone in my computer either, so I can't reach any files. /:
Please users of XDA, help me. :3
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: The phone is up and running now, flashed it back to the stock rom using Dr.Ketan's guide. .
Thanks a lot for that mate. C:<3
Now I'll try to root it & put a new ROM it again, I'll update this post wheter or not I succed.
Theres a thread like this at the top of the other forum. Enter download mode and flash stock rom using odin.

Yup, I've read it.. x:
But flashing this & dat, it doesn't make any sense to me. /:
And I've said I've been up all night reading, trying to learn how to do etc etc. x:
It's so frikkin' hard. o:
Did you flash the stock rom and is it ok now?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Uhm, I have no idea.. x:
When the phone didn't start I used Odin, followed a guide and ''put in a'' stockrom in the phone, but it was so buggy, I couldn't be in the menus because it crashed... x:
So I had to do a factory reset, and now the phone is working, but I can't use the Zergrush & the other guides to root it now.. :c

You probably flashed a kl7 / 8 / la1-4 rom which are not directly rootable. You need to flash a older rom. Go to development forum and find out more.

I would download and flash a older rootable firmware version (afaik anything before KL7/KL8/LA1 ...) using Odin.
After that root and flash CF-Root kernel using Method 2 as described here.
Important: You need to use the right CF-Root kernel for the firmware version you flashed!
Next step would be booting into recovery and making a backup with CWM.
After that flash the rom you want to try using CWM in recovery mode.
Some devs advice to reboot twice after each flashing.
Search the instructions in the thread of the rom you want to flash for info about wiping (checkrom devs advise to do fullwipe before flashing).
First boot after flashing a rom might take some time, just wait a few minutes.
This is the CF-Root thread, also worth reading.

Are you sure I don't have the right firmware right now?
I got this one, N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries -----------------. And I downloaded and flashed it with Dr.ketan's guide.
I have tried to root it with CF now several times, but all it says when I start the root thingy is ''--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE''
After that it doesn't move at all. ):
Did you make sure to
- enable "USB DEBUGGING" (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)?
- enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" (Menu\Settings\Applications)?
Don't have Kies/Odin running while rooting, exit antivirus, pc suites, etc.
If it still doesn't work after that I'm afraid I can't help you.

Yup, both of those where enabled, and kies were closed.
At this moment I am rooting using the zergrush exploit, I found the problem in the Rooting thread.
About Win7 64 bits user:
please try to run the "runme.bat" before connect the phone to computer.
1.disconnect your phone & computer
2.run "runme.bat", you can see cmd box, and process will stop on:
--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully * <---here
then connect the phone, and go on..

Yes I made an hard reset before I started the rooting.
I'll try to fix the ROM, again.. x: I'll be back soon to inform you of my success.. (;
Yours sincerely Viktor
H'okai, the rooting and the installation of the ROM was succesful.
Thing is that the booting loops all the time, and I never come to the home screen.
First it starts with the Samsung GT-N7000, and moves on to the blue stripes & dots(looks like your in space or something. :3 )
After that it gets stuck on the part when it says Samsung and it pulsases in blue around the logo.
After that the booting sequence restarts, and I've tried to install the ROM using CWM Recovery three times, and it still loops. /:
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: Googled and found this thread.
After the wipe in recovery mode the boot loop started and I can now enter the phone.
Quite interesting with this WIN7 64bit thing, didn't know about that.
Glad you got it running.
Don't forget to backup. ;-)
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, Galaxy Tab 7", Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, and many more) and has clocked over 13 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away (see below) after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Why isn't this just called CF-Root
The traditional CF-Root's included a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc) and were meant for devices that had a single kernel/recovery combination. CF-Auto-Root doesn't include a custom recovery and is meant for devices that have kernel and recovery separate (so you can manually install any custom recovery you wish). The Auto part comes from the fact that a large part of the process is automated (though it constantly needs adjusting)
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)
CF-Auto-Root homepage
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
CF-Auto-Root main thread
[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root
For requests for new roots and generic discussion - please keep device specific discussion in the thread you are viewing now.
ODIN Installation (detailed)
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
You may now optionally want to install and run Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

Hey,
i have two questions regarding the whole process and hope that someone is able to enlighten me a bit.
1. The flashing to gain root seems pretty simple. But what if i want to unroot the device again? How does one achieve that?
2. I´m a bit confused as Chainfire states in another thread that
some people like me prefer stock so we can keep the counters at 0/official...
Click to expand...

. In the opening post over here he mentions that
What's installed- SuperSU binary and APK- Stock recovery

. So what i don´t get: Does that mean that the counter remains at 0 after flashing this, or does it increase. And if so: why?
Thx in advance for any headsup

Don´t get me wrong, but that does not answer my question.
As you quoted he mentions custom kernels of custom recoverys. But as i quoted (and is also mentioned in the opening post) the package includes the stock recovery and (as i assume) no custom kernel.
well, I havent rooted this device yet, but, I have rooted many others; generally, if you want to go back to stock, you have to grab the original image, usually a .tar file, and flash it via Odin...I assume this would be what you do to return this device back to its non rooted state..

I am struggling with my Samsung Galaxy Note. My phone over night switched it self off. It wouldnt come back on. I took the battery out and then the sim card. When booting up - I got passed the initial screen of the phone - it went to the samsung logo - now has continued to go back to that screen. I followed advice I have seen on here and pressed the 'on' button, the 'home' button and the 'volume up button'.
It has taken to me to 'Android system recovery' screen. It now has given me 6 options:-
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update form cache
This is all in blue. Below this in yellow it has:-
#MANUAL MODE#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Below this in red it has:-
Various error messages - too many to list
I have read the threads in this forum. I am slightly lost at what I have to do now. I have gone onto the Dr Ketan's link - which has refered me to SamMobile website. I am now downloading some firmware from there that is saying it is going to take 2 hours.
I am not sure what this is and what I have to do with it?!?! Am I doing the right thing?
My phone is not backed up and I do need all the data from it. I am not a techi - so I am really not sure what I am doing??
Can anyone help this non techi get his phone working again!!!???

Hi there - thanks for the reply. I am not sure how to check what ROM I am on - or even what that is? I bought the phone with contract and have not added anything custom to it.
What is rooted?
Sorry if I sound basic - however, I am not a techi....
Any help would be appreciated
Okay, that means you are on stock Sammy ROM. And as you spoke about a contract, is it the international version n7000 or carrier locked version?
Its moot to know if your phone is the international version note GT n7000 ?

You're downloading a new ROM (system). This will wipe all Your phone's data (will leave all the internal and external sdcard files, only apps and their data will be gone). However before flashing it (using ODIN) try to wipe data in the recovery ("Android system recovery", blue text). It will do the same leaving Your current OS. If it doesn't help, flash new ROM (which You have downloaded from sammobile)- use ODIN (find some tutorial for it, if You don't know how to use it). This should help, if it doesn't, the battery may be broken (my friend had such a problem related with battery).
PS. How old is Your battery?

There is a way if it works...
You can try the following:
1. Use Odin to flash a custom recovery- learn from this link here, you will have to do a fair bit of reading though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
2. Reboot into recovery by using the button combo- Vol Up+Menu+Power
3. Scroll to Backup/Restore
4. Back-up your current Rom to ext SD/internal SD card- I prefer internal sd card
5. Now, after the ROM has been successfully backed-up, the backup will contain a snap shot of your current system with all messages, call logs, contact details, account, etc.
6. Go ahead and flash the new stock Rom that you are downloading at the moment.
7. Refer to point 1 to Root it and install a custom Kernel
8. Now reboot the system and install an app from Playstore called nandroid manager. This will help you extract your personal data from the backed up Rom that we did at point 4/5 above.
9. Once installed, open nandroid manager and you should see your backed up rom under backup tab
10. Click on the backup and it will open a new window where you will get an option to restore data (top left)- click on it
11. From this window, you can restore your call logs and messages, apps and other stuff. Please note that its always advisable to reinstall your apps using the playstore because restoration of app+data sometimes messes up the system.
12. Please note that as you have installed a custom kernel and rooted the device, your warranty stands void. Please understand the implications.
Also, if you do not understand the steps involved as mentioned above, please desist and take your phone to the local authorized service station.
There are alternate ways to try recover data, but the I have stuck to the above method and it has worked fine for me in such cases.
Give it a try, who knows a couple of hours of investment will get you a working phone!!! Best of luck!

Hi thanks for this!! On point 3 - there is no option of back-up/restore??
Please refer to point 1, you will need to flash a custom-recovery and kernel to be able to backup your current rom. This can be done via Odin.
I have provided 2 links (Dr. Ketan's guides) from where you can get a step by step guide, please do read it before you go ahead.

Hello everyone!
I am making this thread to explain how to achieve ROOT on G900F devices with "the famous May update" aka Base OE5.
DO NOT USE ON OTHER DEVICES THAN G900F (THE F MODEL, QUALCOMM 4G EUROPEAN DEVICE).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, DATA, LOSS OF JOB BECAUSE OF FAILED ALARM APP AND SO ON!
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID AND YOUR KNOX COUNTER IS 0x1 FOREVER!
Many users are having issues getting it rooted and even I was trying many methods to root it and always ended up with bricked phone and corrupt data.
1) Back the hell up your device, this is extremely important as sometimes your data partition and apps will get corrupt. SmartSwitch is great tool for backing up made by Samsung.
* Disable reactivation lock in settings (I also disabled lockscreen fingerprints and account fingerprints just to be safe)
* Unlock Developer options by goint to About phone and dapping Build number 7 times.
* In Developer options turn on USB Debugging.
* Download latest SuperSU zip and put it in your phones storage (mandatory) - https://download.chainfire.eu/693/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.44.zip

BOE5 roots with CF Auto Root just like all the other ROMs for me with the G900F
I think people narrowed it down to certain revisions of newer S5s, rather than just the ROM being the problem

CF Auto ROOT bricked my device and also thousands of others, as I have seen in comments on this forum and other forums/sites.
My phones revision is new, its made in middle of this summer.
Most of the comments I've read about BOE5 not working with CF AR, are just that it fails, not that it bricked anything, but possible I suppose
But BOE5 is not the only issue, as the ROM you're running is the exact same one I was running, and I could root it fine - if it was BOE5, I'd have the same problem
Maybe a combination of BOE5 and new revision hardware
Hi,
for me this post was very useful. I tried several ways to root or install recovery but I was always stuck at the point where it tried to boot into recovery. I have this exact firmware (DBT as CSC) and unchecking reboot and then reboot without removing the battery into recovery using the 3 keys was the missing part.
I still got the error message when booting into recovery, but it passed through it and entered recovery (it did not get stuck into dark screen). After that I rooted with Chainfires ZIP.
Thanks Alot!...............rooted like breeze.........The most important part is Uncheck Auto Reboot and DONT PULL OFF battery insetad go recovery by using 3 buttons right after download completes.
thanks man!! It works for me
After i try a many methods, this worked!

Hello everyone!
I am making this thread to explain how to achieve ROOT on G900F devices with "the famous May update" aka Base OE5.
DO NOT USE ON OTHER DEVICES THAN G900F (THE F MODEL, QUALCOMM 4G EUROPEAN DEVICE).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, DATA, LOSS OF JOB BECAUSE OF FAILED ALARM APP AND SO ON!
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID AND YOUR KNOX COUNTER IS 0x1 FOREVER!
Many users are having issues getting it rooted and even I was trying many methods to root it and always ended up with bricked phone and corrupt data.
1) Back the hell up your device, this is extremely important as sometimes your data partition and apps will get corrupt. SmartSwitch is great tool for backing up made by Samsung.
* Disable reactivation lock in settings (I also disabled lockscreen fingerprints and account fingerprints just to be safe)
* Unlock Developer options by goint to About phone and dapping Build number 7 times.
* In Developer options turn on USB Debugging.
* Download latest SuperSU zip and put it in your phones storage (mandatory) - https://download.chainfire.eu/693/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.44.zip
2) Go to https://dl.twrp.me/klte/ and download THE LATEST recovery - twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar (11.9MB in size). DO NOT EXTRACT IT AND MAKE SURE IT IS TAR FILE NOT IMG FILE!

Hello Everyone,
I know this is an old tablet and mine works fine but there are so many apps i cannot run on it because it's so old.
For some reason when I go to recovery (power plus volume down) it only gives me options to install from cache or to install from SD card. My Tab doesn't have an SD card slot and I've tried many different things like putting the Google Apps file in an /sdcard folder but no luck. Maybe I need a better recovery that will allow me to install from OTA USB or from Internal storage, or directly from the PC.
I have never rooted a phone before or unlocked a bootloader, and maybe I'm missing a step, but no matter how many forum posts I check people seem to be able to run it from /sdcard which is simply not working for me.
Please help!
I've got the same issue here, and tried everything, from what you've said you've done to using command lines in adb fastboot, and nothing seem to bring me closer to write on the root of the device. Maybe with both of us asking here someone pops up to bring some light to this.
@saitar
Install the TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 or higher.

I don't know if this is still an issue for you, but I went further as nobody seemed to see the post.
I used this TWRP recovery, then flashed the lollipop rom here. But I stopped at the gapps... the only one I was able to flash was this one, but the keyboard isn't showing up. I tried the complete compilation and the flashing failed due to lack of space, although the device was plenty of it...

Thanks for replying. Yes, this is what I found out reading in xda and other forums, as the recovery I mentioned above is the 2.7.1.0, but is there a 2.8 recovery for the Tab 8.9, or should we be able to update the 2.7 to 2.8 without problems? Edit: I noticed in your post signature you got a 3.0 version on your device... how?
@saitar
Here are the link for TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ev-testing-twrp-galaxy-tab-8-9-p7310-t3469987
You can update your TWRP with the ZIP file from your existing Recovery or with Odin and the *.Tar file.

You're the man! th tar file didin't work, but I was able to flash the 3.0 TWRP, then flashed the Nougat version and the Gapps. Everything is working fine.
Thanks again!
Nougat update for i957?
Great to see the efforts here, kudos.
A naive question, whether this is going to work on my i957 currently on 4.0.4 ICS? If no, any recommendations for any latest ROM for i957? Being on 4.0.4, a number of apps have started causing issues, support not being available.
If there's another thread I should post on, pls suggest the same.
Thx
