hi guys,
has anyone successfully rooted 5.1.1 with this method?
I'm using e500h, followed all the steps and stucked at Samsung logo after installing supersu.zip.
what I did...
1. Upgraded to 5.1.1 via odin using India firmware.
2. Flashed twrp, no problem found.
3. Flashed the latest stable supersu, stucked at Samsung logo.
4. Flashed the lastest beta supersu, same problem.
Even if I installed supersu via Play, it said the phone must be rooted manually first.
Now I'm back to kitkat
Any idea guys?

I too had that problem. I flashed 5.x and 4.4.2 back and forth few times, wiped/formated everything and factory reset (while you have 5.x and TWRP) including hard reset. For some reason, it went ok and I'm able to use Kitkat again.
I think it may not be the proper way to do it. I just tried every possible thing that I can think of.
I also tried Kingroot, not working. Bummer!

Someone please email chainfire the boot.img or kernel.img he may listen to us and update cf-auto-root ?

Its not recovery fault its SAMSUNG. normal root flash will not work on stock anyhow and even chainfire knows it. this is the same issue were S6 Edge suffered too. its security which checks any modification in system partition on boot and if found it wont allow system to boot thus causing bootloop and at no way recovery is at fault!

New build is UP!
KINDLY DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU IT WILL BOOTLOOP DEVICE!

More info please.

Hi,
I dont think so SuperSU will work on 5.1.1 but many have said that Kingroot works so you can try that but CM is pre-rooted so anyway its possible

You did a lot of steps that shouldn't have been done in the first place so instead of trying more things that wouldn't work just flash the official stock NE1 firmware from https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0 ,extract the zip file you'll get a tar file ,put your phone into download mode , (uninstall kies) only run odin, connect the phone to computer,make sure the ID:COM turns blue then check mark AP/PDA tab on odin and select the downloaded firmware.Dont touch anything else hit start and let odin do it's magic once your dad's phone successfully boots and you get network etc etc.then ask me i'll tell how to root the stock firmware and run custom ROM.Good luck.

That's odd,go perform a factory reset and see what happens.Which one was your previous ROM?
Edit: After factory reset if it still boots in your old ROM, reflash the stock rom i gave you and then tell me what happens.
Use odin v3.09 at least ill give you the link hold on

Are you sure it's the OLD ROM and not stock rom?Check in settigns>>about device>>and tell what you see under build # cause the link i gave you is of Kitkat ROM too NE1 firmware

Yes you dont need bootloader nor wifi fix anymore since flashing official stock 4.4.2 you are on the newest boootloader.Now you need to root your phone.So you need philz touch 6.41.tar file and supersu v 1.97.
Philz tar file
SuperSu v1.97
Refer to this post of mine in another thread How to root
The above posts show how to flash recovery in odin and do exactly what it says in the image UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN ODIN once its done flashing and says pass phone wont be turned off so remove the phone from laptop and pull the battery out and follow my instructions there.
Once you boot your phone again after flashing superSU it will ask you if you want to disable KNOX select yes (knox will be triggered to 0x1 that means warranty will be void)
Also thank the person when you visit his thread since he made the thread and i just helped him a bit.his id is smeet.somaiya

Just installed cwm and super su. thanks again.
Btw the link to download odin seems to be spamware, insted of downloading odin, i got a program 104kb giving lots of options, and at the end still did not install odin. Just for info. (i already had odin later version, and used that before, but wanted to check if a newer one is available, so header over there).
Going to install dr ketans custom rom. fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help, will update, how it goes.
It never asked me to disable knox...
Would it be problematic if knox is not disabled ? as i wanted to use knox.
...
Finished flashing dr ketans rom, and it booted just fine, albiet slow compared to the stock rom.
Thankyou Pratik for all the help with detail and correctness.
Bless You.

Ya i think all the custom ROM for our note 2 are heavily modded the latest ones that's why sometimes just to feel the smoothness i flash back stock ROM and when i get bored of them i flash one of the custom roms.Glad to know you were able to successfully flash the rom of your choice.Enjoy.
Help
Hello everybody, I have a problem with my galaxy note 2 N7100.
The problem is the following:
One day I was using my phone normally, and all of a sudden the screen turned off and the phone never turned on again, (if you press the power button the screen turns a little gray, but you must be in a dark place to perceive it)
I can't access download or any other mode, or at least I can't detect if the phone has accessed it, because the screen just turns a little gray and does nothing else.
I have the drivers and have the official ROM for my region, ODIN installed, ADB, and other flashing tools and recovery files. But it has been long time since the last time I flashed something or did anything to the device and would appreciate a little help.
Can anyone here help me to solve this issue or knows what is happening with my phone?
Thank you for any kind of help you can give me
Update: I "think" I got into download mode blindly, just press the home+power+down vol buttons, then pressed up vol and connected the phone to the usb, surprisingly the computer made the usb sound that indicated me that the connection was recognized, Odin showed the ID:COM blue, so I proceeded to load the original rom and flash it, it took around 3.5 minutes and finally it showed succesful. But when I pressed the power button to turn on the phone, the screen still grey and doesn't start. I'm starting to think its a screen problem. I already purchased a new screen so I'm going to tell a frend to install it for me.
I'll be in touch

[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !
Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.
Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

Could you go back to KK when you've downgraded to JB? Just asking this question early before the CM11 M8 release and the transition occurs.

So just by flashing the KK firmware in RSD without any changes to the xml? Sorry for the noob questions, I realize how easy this phone can be bricked and I want to avoid it.

I see don't why you would need to. It would be just like restoring stock firmware via RSD Lite.

Can you please post the error that is displayed in RSD Lite ?
The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.
I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!
For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

[Q] Samsung Note 2 wont go into recovery mode.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on the Rogers network in Canada. I rooted my phone and then realized that supersu was not working. I dont loaded rom manager to install the latest version of CWM but realized that my version of software wasnt on the list. I selected a version that was close to mine but the install could not be completed. Anyways when I finally realized what I was doing and I needed to get my phone into recovery mode to install the lastest version on Supersu which I downloaded I could not do so. For some reason I kept getting a flashing Samsung Galaxy Note 2. See link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_hFpRBWqZ8
How do I fix this issue and get my phone into recovery mode? I need to install the lastest version of Supersu via CWM to have my root working correctly.
I was also wondering if I can just try to root my phone again via odin?
I am a newbie, just looking for answers.
You must know if you own a N7100 or t0lte and if the bootloader is locked or not. Here in Europe Note 2 is generally sold with unlocked bootloaders, but not so in the USA/Canada.
After that we should mind following: if the OS is corrupted now by uncompleted flashing process, you may better flash either a full stock firmware with Odin- or flash only a custom recovery with Odin. However, now you must really know is it a N7100 or t0lte

Hello Sir,
I have GT-N7100 ( Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ) 4.4.2 KitKat ! I recently tried to root my device with Odin odin3 v1.85 ( cwm6-root-note2 ) and got the pass.
Then I was not able to use SU ( Which was already pre-installed by me before rooting from play store ) Also it give the message "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it".
Also I cannot go to CWM Recovery mode by Pressing Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button as screen go mad and switch it off, Then I need to start it again to use my phone normally.
I have installed an app from Play Store named Root Checker which verify if phone is rooted or not and it say "Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted".
Thanks to god my phone is still working but I still wish to Root My phone again with correct process !
Q. Can I still Re-Root My phone ? If Yes, Then please guide me through latest correct process with files.
Q. I wish to root and install CWM Recovery again ( Which I tried before which has not properly configured )
Thanks
Have a nice day

See..first check if ur device has a locked bootloader. .....if it is locked u have to get that bootloader (u have to flash the rom officially for rogers).....
If u have an unlocked device...then do this
Search for the latest cf auto root for ur device
Get odin and stock rom (urs or rogers one (if locked))
Flash the rom
Flash cf auto root
And u hve a rooted stock device....that will go in recovery too

I downloaded twrp for the play store and I cant use it as it says it requires root access. I thought my phone was rooted as I used CF- Auto root and all worked out well. I kept getting an error saying unfortunately SuperSu has stopped. I dont know what to do now. I was going to use twrp to flash SuperSu update.
How should I proceed?

TWRP from the Play Store??
Android-Andi has compiled TWRP and PhilZ for all Tab 2 models. You should flash any recent recovery as a tar file in download mode with Odin

So I downloaded kingroot rooted my phone, but I wanted to switch from kingroot to supersu I followed a guide, but what I didn't realise was that the guide had a warning saying that the version of supersu.me they linked to wasn't working with phones with latest Android version (I have 5.0). So I used supersu.me it said it worked, opened supersu it told me it needed to update the binaries I said okay, and chose normal mode. Then it said failed need to reboot it rebooted my phone.
Now at first it got stuck in a bootloop I entered recovery mode and factory reset it. Now it turns but nothing on touchscreen only Wi-Fi no signal and time on top and home button below

Download the stock rom, reboot to recovery and flash or flash through Odin.

It has begun!

I have been checking the wifes phone every morning for the last month. Looks like the Marshmallow update is about 1.3 gigs. I have no idea if it will be bug free, but I imagine it will be stable. Now, for those reading this, that are confused and on a stock ROM, go to settings, about device, and then software update.
It's working great so far..

Yes, both our S6 edge plus and the Note 5 received Marshmallow today from T-Mobile!!
I don't think I will take the update until I know we can still root and a custom recovery.

No need to bother with kernels it's not needed to ROOT MM 6.0!!!
1: odin flash twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroltetmo.img.tar, flash this after doing
the OTA Tmobile update of the mm 6.0 .
2: then in twrp recovery flash this supersu-v2.71-systemmode.zip.
If you do do it right, you will have no rooting issues.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

You are going to need to Odin the T-mobile stock firmware, which you can find on MinisterJunky's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...rmware-g928t-complete-untouched-boh6-t3198387
After that, you just need to run software update from the settings and you should be good to go. I would highly recommend doing a factory reset after you ODIN the stock 5.1 firmware before updating to 6.01.
Need help...I odined back to 5.1.1 and factory reset after....Then updated MM of phone...Then made Sure OEM unlocked, rebooted into download and odin flashed TWRP 3.0.2 and it say PASS and when i reboot into recovery it reboots into stock recovery!!!

So for some reason I am having the same problem trying to get this rooted.
I have made sure the OEM unock is enabled in develper settings
I boot into download mode, and I uncheck reset in options
I ODIN flash twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroltetmo.img.tar
I power off the phone, then I try to boot into recovery, the phone will show recovery is not enforcing (or whatever it says in red), then the screen just turns black.
Then I will reboot the phone again and it will remove the custom recovery.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
finally we got him.marshmallow update on s6 edge+ t mobile.now for customs rom?

Probably, it is better to wait for stock firmware and do it through the Odin. Ehh..
