im trying to create titanium backup and now when i try to run tibackup it says that it doesnt have root access anymore, but i ran it fine just yesterday. it said check for superuser and busybox - i had both of those, but for some reason my superuser app was gone so i downloaded it again but to no avail. then i tried re-rooting it with superoneclick and it gets stuck on step 7...and in the superoneclick msgbox it says that my sgp isnt rooted. did i do something wrong?

thanks, it worked . i also have another question hopefully you can answer it. i just flashed entropys kernal but when i try to get into the cwm, it takes me to the 3e one. my understanding is that entropys kernal has the cwm in it doesnt it? i flashed it using odin and passed. thanks :good:
ok i just found out it didn't get flashed..im still running stock kernal even tho odin said passed.
this is what i did, i downloaded dd_03052012.zip from entropy. unzipped it in winrar. then when i tried adding the tar to pda section of odin, it wasn't there (but if i were to open its folder thru win explorer then i would see it) just odin wasn't recognizing it. so i renamed the zimage file with .tar at the end, now odin sees it so i go ahead and add it into pda field and push start (player was in download mode) odin said reset....then after a couple secs it said passed! and then it reboot itself...still stock kernal. please help, I've literally been working on this for twelve hours with a break to go grocery shopping thanks in advance.

Unroot first
Use superoneclick to unroot first THEN root again. Hopefully that works. If not, you're screwed if you want to ref lash. Sorry.

Hi guys, i got a little issue with my galaxy i9300 international version, let me tell you what I did and the results to that.
1. Flashed with Cyanomogen 10.1. Working fine.
2. Then, afer a few days, flashed with Paranoid.
3. Phone starts to freeze, so as I didn't know was going on, and tried to flash with another ROM.
4. Flashed several times with ODIN and tried to stabilize it with stock room XELLA.
5. Flashed with Ultima ROM, still freeze sometimes.
6. Phone stops boots, if I turn on normally, shows a screen like an old tv, white with stripes.... also shows it when I plug it to charge it.
7. Only enters to download mode.
8. Tried to flash it, however says partition failed, there is no pit partition.
9. Tried with every single PIT partition mx that i found, and nothing, every time it says, Re-Partition failed.
10. Tried with a different computer, USB cable, everything... and nothing!..
11. Also tried with the rescue korean rom, and nothing.
12. Also tried with the single file from samfirmeware and the pit file, and nothing!
Any thoughts??? I'm desperate!

But you shoul give more details. When I read "flash several ROMs with Odin", I'm wondering what ROM? How did you use Odin? What version of Odin? etc...
flashing a wrong pit file kills the phone, and you flashed every possible one. good job

And the roms I flashed, in this order: 1. CyanogenMod 10.1, Paranoid, CyanogenMod again, and Ultima ROM.
After the installation of Paranoid, the device started to freeze, over and over again, and continue to do it over the other ROMs.
Also, I went to a so called "technician", and the guy says the mainboard must be replace, because i damage the bootloader.

Download a 3 file firmware from sammobile and also download mx.pit file.
Open odin.
Select pit and locate the mx.pit you have downloaded. Select repartion check box and flash it.
Then reset odin.
Click on pda and select the code file of your 3 file firmware.
Select modem and click on modem part of the 3 file firmware.
And then click on csc and select the csc file.
Make sure re partition is not selected and that the pit box is blank.
Then hit start and how it works.

Zimbardo.ea originally posted this info on another thread. So credits to him/her for the links.
Use only the mx.pit in the pit rar.
If you manage to flash the pit but the 3 file firmware doesn't work, download speedmod kernel and flag the kernel only. Then go to cwm and then mounts and storage. Format system, data and cache. Then go back to download mode after a battery pull. And then flash the 3 file firmware again. Do not select a pit file and make sure re partition is unchecked.
This should work.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the help man, however when I try to flash the pit file, I got this:
"Re-Partition operation failed."
So, as you can see I'm off on step 1.
Also on download mode shows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
So, no product name as you can see. And old TV set screen when I try to normally power on, or conecting the charger, or trying to go to recovery.
Got another trick under the sleeve? I would appreciate it... Thanks! :good:

It didn't do anything, Odin didn't have the time to flash the pit file, and it was already broken long before I try to re-partition the pit file through Odin.
So, no, that's not the problem.

Hello Peeps,
Here is the tutorial on how to root Jelly Bean 4.3 Android 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note 3 Neo SM-N7505 Using CF-Auto-Root:
Prerequisites:
Install the USB driver with USB debugging enabled from the Developers Tool
Make a necessary backup of any important data.
Make sure your device has enough battery juice in it (80%)
Step 1: Download and extract the following files:
Download:
CF-Auto-Root-hllte-hlltexx-smn7505.zip
Odin v3.09
You should get a .tar.md5 file within extracted folder. Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.09.exe along with few other files. You could use any extracting software such a WinZip, Winrar or 7zip to extract files.
Step 2: Put Your Galaxy Note 3 Neo SM-N7505 In Download Mode
Now turn off your phone and wait few seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off. Then boot it into the Download Mode. To do that press and keep holding the Volume down and Home button at the same time, with these two buttons pressed press the Power Button all simultaneously. When a warning message is displayed press on the Volume Up button to continue to the process.
Step 3: Run Odin
Now run Odinv3.09.exe in as an Administrator because an Admin privilege is required to complete this installation process without any hiccups. Now connect your phone with your PC using USB cable. Once you connect, you will see a message under Odin’s message box in the bottom left-panel displaying “Added”. You should also see ID: COM port with a number and colored box in Yellow/Blue i.e. if you successfully added your device, if not then you can do the following Steps:
Re-start the same procedure.
Try Uninstalling and then re-installing the drivers again and restart you pc.
Use different USB cable.
Ensure KIES is not running in the background.
Disable Your Antivirus.
Uninstall or disable any program that may be causing conflicts such as your OEM’s PC Suite or any other third party software.
Step 4: Staring the flashing process
In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are only two that are selected. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER OPTION! Click the AP button and select that file CF-Auto-Root-hllte-hlltexx-smn7505.tar.md5 you downloaded earlier in Step 1 with extension .tar.md5. Now, once you are ready, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. This process may take a minute or two to finish. Please do not disconnect your phone once Odin sets in motion. As the installation process completes, your phone will reboot itself and you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect it from the computer.
Voila, You have successfully rooted your phone
Can use this method on n750??
Please Don't Root using Chainfire
Hi,

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, Don't use it.
Using chainfire method if you root your phone you will trip the Knox to 1 and void the warranty.
Please note for now it is irreversible to change Knox to 0.
Please wait till alternative method comes up because if something goes wrong Samsung service centre may not service the phone.
It is a huge risk.
Sincere advice please do NOT root for now.
In the above post he has mentioned N7505 and you have N750 so both are different models.
But if you want to go ahead then you need similar file which states N750 in the file name.
Click here to get the correct file.

First flash the original firmware to get back your phone in the working condition. Then make sure you have the USB tool installed for Windows and have USB debugging enabled. You can also try a different version of ODIN.. Though these files worked perfectly for me. Please do cross check the files.
Sent from my SM-N7505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Go to this site : >>autoroot.chainfire.eu<<<
Search for your model number : N7500(hl3gub) or N7505 (hlltexx) .. Click on "File" & download the zip file. Compatible Odin is already there inside the zip file posted by Chainfire. So don't flash with any other Odin version. Incompatible Odin will Brick your device.
Rest of the steps are easy .. as already mentioned in this thread.
0) Extract the zip file into a folder lets say FOLD_X, everything you need is inside this folder apart from USB drivers.
1) Install Samsung USB drivers(mentioned in this thread, worked for me) or Kies (but disable/kill Kies software after installation) (You can also take backups using Kies for the Oh ! No! Moments )
2) Boot in Download mode.
3) Open Odin
4) Connect USB
5) Check the ID: COM port and "Added" message.
6) In Odin the checkboxes ( Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes ) will be auto selected.
7) Click on PDA, select the .md5 file, inside the folder you just extracted.
8) Click Start and wait for the phone to restart(20 second process)
I have done it on N7505.
Cheers !

Hello everyone,
I followed this by the book and got a soft brick! Please help, I have no idea what to do. Tried to do the recovery with Samsung kies but no luck. Anyone has drivers for the phone? Want to install them again so if I can see kies improves (n7505).
There is no serial listed under the battery and I need it for Kies to recover with odin to update bootloader. Can someone share theirs or am I screwed?

Boot into recovery (hold power and both volume buttons until you see the Samsung logo, then release), and Factory reset it.
Should work then.

If you try the three button combination as Steve suggested, and you are unable to boot into recovery, or if you are able to perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery but it doesn't help, then post back with details of the phone's behavior, and we'll try to help you troubleshoot the problem.
The phone would not go into recovery. I used Odin 3.0.9 to flash it but it only whent so far and would fail. No the phone does not boot to the Samsung logo but another screen saying that the phone had been flashed but did not take or something to that and to try flashing again. It does go into Odin download mode. It appears that the phone and Odin program are communicating so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Do I need to use an older very of Odin or another version of software? I am also using a laptop with windows 8.1 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help.

The phone would not go into recovery. I used Odin 3.0.9 to flash it but it only whent so far and would fail. No the phone does not boot to the Samsung logo but another screen saying that the phone had been flashed but did not take or something to that and to try flashing again. It does go into Odin download mode. It appears that the phone and Odin program are communicating so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Do I need to use an older very of Odin or another version of software?
Thanks for any help.

I only have a minute now. I'll check back later this evening.
Use Odin v1.85 and flash the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean).
Both are available in the Download Repository, see my sig.
I'll give it a shot thanks.
When I go to download the i777UCMD8 firmware my pc says there may be viruses and even when I choose to download it it is placed somewhere in my pc and I cannot find the file. I did not have this issue when I downloaded i777UCMD5 . Still trying to figure it out though.

If you are downloading to Windows (7, 8.1 or 10) it will be placed by default in the Downloads directory. You should have a link in your File Explorer, or the path is C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Downloads.
If you have a failed flash in Odin, it will almost certainly be because of the connection between the computer and the phone, so either the USB port on the PC, the cable, or the microUSB port on the phone.
Thanks I will see what I can figure out.

The usb cable is fine, when I go to download the firmware I777UCMD8 the adg virus program will not let me download it because it says there is a virus. and I am going to your links to the firmware. When I started to flash the other firmware something had to do something because the phone starts up it saysFirmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I cannot also get the Odin 1.8 file you have it wants to install some kind of other software and not Odin 1.8 . I cannot figure why all of most downloads I need are not working. The Odin program I have failes at factoryfs.img

Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset if you are able to at this point. To get into recovery, hold down all three buttons of vol+ vol- and pwr until the Samsung logo appears, disappears, and appears again, then let go of the buttons.
I think you must be using AVG antivirus? If so, right click the AGV icon in the system tray in the lower right corner and select disable for 10 minutes or something similar, and then go download the file. There is no virus in the file, and it is safe to download, but sometimes the antivirus programs will flag certain types of websites and downloads. I would prefer that you try to install the UCMD8 firmware before we attempt to troubleshoot any issues.
Whatever steps you take from here forward, please describe them and the results you get, including copy and paste here the message box from Odin.

The link for Odin v1.85 in the Download Repository is a direct download link. When you click on it, you should get a blank browser page that has a google.com link in the address bar, and a download box at the bottom of the page. The downloaded file will be Odin3-v1.85.zip and is 203,676 bytes. Open it with an archiving program.
