So, I was having a couple of issues with xnote 13 and decided to just dirty flash it. That turned out great. However, I lost root access? Still have twrp. Confused...
Going to try to reroot as is...I hope thats all right?
Thx!

I believe you just need to flash the SuperSU zip in twrp again and it fixes this. It has happened to me before and it worked.

I've never seen this. You said you were having problems with X note? What type of problems? Over the years I've come to realize you should never dirty flash a ROM unless its an update by a Dev and he instructs that a dirty flash is OK.

when i install RLS 6 hyperdrive my phone starts fine but after one minute it restarts and again turns again on works fine for 30 seconds and again restart help!!!!
When posting something like this its good to know the beforehand so people know what led up to this. Did you wipe? What recovery you using? Did you follow the install instructions word for word?
SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
A couple of possibilities:
Make sure you wipe per the dev's recommendations prior to flashing.
Try installing with minimal mods and see if you can get it to boot. Once you flash, you can always dirty flash the same installer and pick a couple additional mods and see what's causing the issue. Some people noted they were having problems with the Walkman mod causing bootloops.
Check the MD5 of your download against what is in the OP. If you downloaded to PC then copied to SD card, check that the MD5 on the card matches that on the PC and what's online (some people had problems where the file was corrupted during transfer to phone).
Also making sure you have one of the most recent recoveries is a good thing to check. I believe I used TWRP 2.6.0.0 and it worked fine for me.
Finally, try using the stock kernel instead of stock optimized or a third party kernel. I can use stock or stock optimized, for example, but when I flash faux it bootloops about 80% of the time on my phone.
There is a good bit of info about the bootlooping issue on RLS6 in the original Hyperdrive thread. Start on page 472 and read on from there.

Did you flash with twrp or cwm. Theres been a few people reporting bootloops when wiping/flashing with twrp. If so you might want to try cwm. Have been using cwm since the DX was the "it" phone. Got it on 4 devices now and have never had a single problem with it.

Good to know. I believe that I followed the dev instructions as well.
One time my uncle was over and I was telling him about a marital concern. He told me that I should probably not do what I had been doing and that there was probably a better way. I listened to him and life has been better. Life is full of choices.

I have also been having difficulty with both bootloops and the phone freezing on the Samsung image and not booting past this point.
I did a full wipe including data with Twrp. After multiple attempts I'm considering switching to CWM. My question is how to I install CWM on a device without a functioning rom?
Does this require flashing back to stock with odin or is there an easier way?

You can flash CWM from within TWRP, just use ADB to copy the zip file onto your phone then flash, or alternatively you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery directly to the phone. Neither method needs a working ROM to accomplish.
and tried to install open recovery script using goomanager. It put me into the download mode. I was finally able to get out of it. Do I need to do anything to clean up anything or just wait till the me7 is able to install a custom recovery?
Today I was using nav a bit and my device turned off on me several times. I don't know what's causing that to happen. Don't know if it has something to do with root or not. Hasn't happened before I rooted.
If your device is in the window it could be overheating. You could try uninstalling any updates/data and re update if that doesnt work then I would flash the me7 image through odin and re root and see if that solves the problem. Im on an me7 based rom and dont have that problem.

Hey Hexitnow...Didn't want to hijack the other thread but you said to reflash. Do I just do that by running the script in the terminal emulator on the phone again like I did the first time?
That im not sure about i dont think there is an odin version for mac. I could be wrong tho because ive never really looked either. There is another program called heimdall (google it and you can find it, instructions are in the readme) and you should be able to flash using that. But I would try uninstalling any updates/data before hand and see if that solves it.
Edit:
Rerun the script? Sorry im a little lost there.

I gotcha. You can do it through application manager. After you get me7 reflashed then yeah you just do the same process over to get root back.

I'm bit of a noob again. I had Android for several years but I've had an iphone for the last 4 or 5 years and I've forgotten everything. Could you give me a step by step on what I should do? And does reflash mean going back to unrooted?
If you go into settings, more, application manager then scroll to the app in question youll see the options. When i say reflash I mean flashing the me7 stock image. After flashing it it puts your phone back to how it was when you first pulled it out of the box.

So I had originally had TWRP/Hyperdrive on my phone, and switched to CWM/Cyanogenmod. I noticed now that I seem to have two different recoveries on my phone, because if I hold up+home+power I can go to a different version of CWM Recovery than if I use the Rom Manager app to boot into recovery. How would I rectify this? Would it involve wiping the /boot partition? I don't know where/how recoveries are stored so I don't understand how I can have two.
Doing a fresh install of a ROM has not resolved this by the way. And actually currently, I can't hold the buttons and boot into recovery at all, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. I can only get into recovery via Rom Manager or Reboot options if I'm in android.

My fault ...I see where you adressed that in the last part of your post. I'm no expert either on how recoveries are stored and executed.
I would think though that flashing stock mdk would fix this as it did for me. I used ROM manager to install cwm then I flashed Philz and haven't had a problem since. Hope someone else can help you.

That's what I would have figured would fix it, because I'm pretty sure that's supposed to wipe /boot, but I found out I cannot flash kernels on my phone for some reason and when having to fix softbricks while experimenting with why it doesn't work and flashing different kernels, I had to do that whole process so many times I can go from softbrick back to where I'm at now in about 20 minutes.

OK...well try something real quick for me...use a root manager and open your efs folder...are the files still there...if not your efs folder has been formatted to the incorrect format...

So I flashed that one via Odin, followed the guide to root and everything step by step, and now that I'm back on stock kernel and want to install CWM Recovery, I downloaded Rom Manager and hit install recovery and it says everything worked but if I boot into recovery it's just the android stock recovery.
EDIT: Another thing I thought of. Could the fact that at one point I used this method to install CWM recovery on my phone have caused there to be two different recoveries running parallel?
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-r...on-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sch-i545/
UPDATE: Using this method I installed the latest version of CWM Recovery Touch but Rom Manager still thinks the normal version is installed, though now if I hit reboot to recovery from the app it actually takes me to the touch instead of a separate one. Is the app dumb or do I still have an issue? Also I cannot install kernels without tripping the count and having my phone tell me I need to go to a verizon store.

ROM manager may actually be the issue.
And as far as installing kennels I've never had an issue myself. The last link you posted is about flashing the md2 kernel in order to root the phone. Do you mean that?? Or installing say a KToonsez kernel after you're already rooted and have your custom recovery?

As in installing a KT kernel after rooting and having a custom recovery and ROM on my phone. Right now I have three 3/22 nightly cyanogen up and running but as soon as I install kt it trips the Verizon security and on have to flash back to stock kernel to use my phone. Booting into Odin and canceling out to restart does not let me get past the yellow triangle
Hi all,
I previously had my GS4 rooted on JellyBean, running the stock ROM and ClockworkMod. I upgraded my phone with the Verizon update to 4.4.2 when the update came out. I am now on the NC5 build. I am now trying to root my phone again, to run a different ROM. I still have Rom Manager and SuperSU on my phone from the last root.
I tried using Towelroot yesterday. It said the root was successful. I was able to go into Rom Manager and update CWM, which also said it flashed successfully. SuperSU is working. However, when I try to boot into CWM, it boots into the stock (I think) recovery. I'm trying to run a nandroid backup before I do anything drastic.
Do I have to wipe my device, and start fresh? It seems that CWM is installed, but the stock recovery is overriding it. Sorry if this is a noob-ish question. I've been out of the Root game since my Incredible.

I believe when you accept the Verizon OTA update it locks down custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP and the only option is SafeStrap.

Yea if your on a Verizon s4 running any build after MDK... which you are... SafeStrap is your only option.
Hard to say what that will do to your phone after trying to install CWM.... usually it just soft bricks it and you need to Odin back to stock...

May be a good idea just in case. I've seen some on here do the same as you with ROM manager and once they rebooted they were brought to the unauthorized software detected screen.... And without a recovery and a backup already made you'd be out of luck.

It would probably be smart to remove CWM with Odin before attempting SafeStrap, correct? Is there a specific thread for removing CWM from a Verizon S4? I searched around but couldn't find anything specific to the S4.
Edit: I found a guide on NasirTech. Looks like that will work.

Well it didn't actually install it since your kernel doesn't allow for it now but what I would do is just use Odin and start over. Can use a No Wipe file and keep all your stuff.
You could try the method you found... I'm just not familiar with it.
Hard to say really how it will act. Maybe you'll have no issues at all just be able to install SafeStrap. Maybe you'll be able to install it but then it won't boot properly into it... who knows. Both have happened to me with my recovery ( CWM ),.. and using Odin was the only thing that helped.
Good luck .. I'm sure you'll get it going

Hey Guys
I'm a experienced flasher but I have ran into a issue with flashing roms on my Note 3. I had recently just been running stock rooted rom (basically I rooted my phone the day it came out with Sprint and never have update anything). So when I noticed that ny son's note 3 (note rooted) got an update recently, I decided to look for an updated base and broadband for my phone, which I thought I had found. So after so help with figuring out which update I needed to do, I figured NH7 was the latest. Finally got my phone updated or so it appeared.
So this week I've been trying desperately to update to MOAR S5 PORT (NE5 based I believe) I followed the instructions carefully and tried all 3 versions. All failed. So I restored my phone. Tonight I tried flashing flashing Pac-man rom. Same thing happened. Failed during install.
Can you guys take a look at my setup and tell me what may be wrong? Doing a clean install each time.

Any time you wipe the system partition, you MUST restart TWRP recovery before flashing the rom of your choice,.. or it'll fail every time.
Ok. I will try that noq

Let us know how it goes. Happy flashing.
So I wiped everything. Tried to install and it failed. So i go to reboot to recovery and it ask me about superuser. But it doesnt install because their is no OS. REBOOT to recovery and it fails again
Do I need to format data?
Actually I dont even see a option in TWRP to format data
I wonder if I should try a dirty flash?
I would odin flash a full stock nh7. To get you all the way to nh7. I see you are still at nab on one. I had problems when they weren't all the same. I could be wrong.... I'm a noob. lol
Then, root with chanfires autoroot. Install your recovery. Then, flash your rom of choice.
NOTE: I said nh7.... but, if the rom you want to use isn't, then odin to nab or whatever the rom you want to run is. I don't know about downgrading, could make a brick.... lol
Research everything I said before you do anything! Or wait for someone to correct what's wrong with what I said! I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone!
one of your issues is you updated wrong! unless you were on nc5 you shouldnt jump right to nh7. you have to update in order to insure no issues. so if oyu were nqb or ever mi3 you need to go in order mi3>nab>nc5>nh7
Chainfires auto root.....http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
Here is Supersu download.....so when you check to see if you have root.....it will all be good.......http://download.chainfire.eu/578/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip
Odin v3.07.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
now you can try to go back to stock and flash whichever you are going to flash........or you can do a reflash of whatever you want....I have notice a losss of root also too.
also make sure to look into all those fixes for security patches xda has for our phone......download and scan with bluebox security and search for any open links that have a fix here on xda........
this happened to me the other weekend and it took an afternoon to dig all resources to figure out why and what i needed to do........I started rooting with a samsung moment......
I am back to stock.....no complaints.....but only did to get home before i go back to a rom.......hope we have helped....
Thanks guys. I will try all of these

Yes you have to do that.. Also I believe you have to be in twrp 2.8 for kitkat I was having problems too until I installed the new Twrp!

I dont see a new TWRP. All I see is version 2,8
I installed all the updates back to back. I have TWRP installed and I'm on NH7 now. But I cant get root. Chainfire Auto took me back to stock recovery and I'm not rooted. So I flashed TWRP via Odin and flashed ChainFire Superuser v.2.14 and I'm still not rooted. All thought it say it worked. So WHen I reboot, what do I need to do then? I have SU installed
Ok guys. After flashing all the Roms in order via ODIN. I finally have NH7 working and rooted.
I just tried wiping system, data,dalvik and cache. Then I immediately rebooted to recovery and tried to flash MOAR V1. and Pac-man rom. Both failed.
One thing Im noticing in recovery is that the system is not mounted in when wiping. So I tried wiping with and without system being mounted and got the same result. One thing Im not sure about with flashing for the note is if the Data should be formatted before installing? However I dont see that option in TWRP.
This is the only phone Ive had this much trouble with when it came to flashing.
Any ideas?
