So earlier today I had some time on my hands and decided to try and root my Rogers Note Edge phone. I failed miserably and now my phone does not seem to have an operating system and continuously restarts. I tried to restore it back to its factory settings, via Odin and Factory but with no success. Can anyone help me?
Not without more details.
What build number of the software were you on?
Which method to root did you use?
What else did you do to it (just rooting should not remove the operating system)?
What build number of the software did you try to reload with Odin?
Did the Odin flash work or did it fail with an error of some type?
i used everything in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
-Odin3 v3.07
-twrp v2.8.6
odin failed and then passed twrp, on reboot my phone died. once charged it kept rebooting over and over. I can still get into download and recovery mode again but now twrp says i have no os and I also noticed while it charges it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing", "set warranty bit:kernel"
You said that you used everything in that guide, but you made no mention of trying to load a rom. That's the next step... If you have no OS, you've got 2 choices. A rom or reload stock firmware via Odin.
Thanks for the support. I made it back to my stock os through smart switch, finally! But Im no longer rooted and Knox is still 0x1. I plan on trying again, should i use the same guide? Just wondering because it seems more based for American carriers , and I'm in Canada.
That guide is for Tmobile version, not yours. That's why it wasn't working right. I'm not aware of a method to reset the Knox counter. You can just install TWRP and use that to install SuperSU from Chainfire for root access.
Well if I can get root tonight I'll let ya know if triangleaway works for Knox reset. Had it recommended from a friend, guess you can get it off the play store.

Hello,
I require some help as my phone has been acting really weird recently. I first bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 earlier in September that was loaded with ICS. I am currently in Singapore and I got the phone from Starhub.
I attempted to root the phone in ICS, and succeeded in doing so. There were no problems at that point in time.
Recently, there was an update notification that kept prompting me to update to Jelly Bean. There were a few options if I wanted to postpone it: Update now, Remind in 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours. I found it really irritating, so I eventually just clicked to update it now.
The update went as planned, but when I restarted my phone, my SuperSU refuses to work. When I go into it, it tells me "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" But when I click "Continue", it says Installation Failed! I have tried going to settings, disabling Superuser, and then attempting to use superuser to update the binary. It did not work. When I attempted to disable superuser under settings>SuperSU, it says "Uninstallation failed!"
I attempted to de-root using a guide from GalaxyS3Root website, which told me to download Odin Lite, Odin Kernel and Triangle Away.
However, Triangle Away refuses to work with an error message "Unfortunately, Triangle Away has stopped".
The Odin Lite also refuses to work by saying "Could not detect device model".
Am at a loss as to what to do now...
Tried using Titanium Backup as well, but it seems to be unable to back up my files without using Root.
Please help!!
You have several options. Easiest ones: just backup your stuff and either flash the lastest leak (ELK4) which is already rooted and has extra goodies or simply wipe your phone (get into recovery and factory reset it). Your rom (JB) wasn't rooted to begin with so you won't have root anymore. There's probably a way to do it without wiping but i usually don't bother. It's generally less of a hassle to backup and wipe.
Edit: oh sorry, missed the part where you couldn't backup without root. To be honest, i never use titanium, it always causes problems when i restore stuff. I just backup what i need by hand (sms's with a sms backup app, find my save's files, etc)
Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply!
To backup my stuff, I just have to plug my phone to my computer and drag &drop everything, yes?
Sorry I'm very new to the whole android thing, and I'm not very tech-savvy to begin with. When you say Flash the latest leak, how do I do this?
If I factory reset my phone now will I brick it?
That's such an overkill. Just boot into recovery mode and root your phone again with Odin. There are plenty of guides around.

this is because after the update, your phone is no longer rooted.

Triangle Away is not required for rooted, it just resets a counter to 0. nothing very much to it.

I think the best thing u can do right now is.
1. titanium backup to SD.
2. load a new rom via odin 3.04
3. install cf root to root the phone via odin 3.04
4. install titanium backup and restore your phone.
i know it can be very annoying because all the singaporean ah beng hp shops has no idea now to repair the phone.
Hi all, I originally rooted my phone using this post several months ag http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
I'm still fairly new to the dealings of root, and have found that I only used it to have access to a couple of cool apps that required root and at that rate I don't even use any more. That being said, I finally accepted the most recent update being okay that I would likely loose my root access. The update kept failing, I assumed because of the root. I backed up my personal data, and performed a factory reset from the phone. The phone still has superuser from the reset and still fails to update. Could someone help me return my phone to fully stock configuration? Thanks!

Find out what odin is. Then..
Google "odin emergency tar (your build number here)" or something to that effect.
If you don't know your build number then you have some more research to do. Good luck.
I'd recommend using the Verizon update assistant. Much easier, but takes about half an hour to do:
1) Connect phone to PC using USB cord
2) When prompted for what action to take when this device is connected, select Verizon update assistant. Installation will take a few minutes.
3) Start the update assistant and confirm that you want to update the phone. The update will take a few minutes.
When the update is complete, you should have the most current update (MK2), and no root access. Should you need root again, try Saferoot - it's quick and easy:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys, I'll do some more research into both and report back soon.
Help! I've researched odin, downloaded and attempted to flash the stock image. Odin failed. My phone as of now is stuck in the downloading screen.

You need to flash the same stock image as what was previously on your phone.
If you don't know what version you were on previously, flash MJ7 or MK2.
I need help from you guys. I have a tmobile galaxy s4, I was rooted with cm11 4.4.2 and I tried to unroot to stock with odin and a firmware, but I fail and got a soft brick the first time. I download different odins and firmwares and finally got it to work, PASS I have stock 4.2.2 m919uvuemk2. but when it restarted I tried to delete wipe cache partition and reboot like it ask me to but it didn't work. Every time I reboot phone it gives me a message before it turns onit says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel. My phone works fine except the wifi, it doesn't turn on. the devise status still say CUSTOM and I can not software update it says your devise your devise has been modify. I checked for root access and there is none. what can I do to fix this problems, should I reroot and use triangle away to delete the BINARY AND KNOX messages and after try to use a 4.3 firmware instead of 4.2.2. I want to have a complete stock phone that I can do OTA updates. Can some one please give the steps and point me in the right direction so I can take care of this problems. Thank You...
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a month ago using Kingo Root, it works fine. So I un-rooted now and restarted the phone and it says "custom" when I go to Settings - Status, etc.. I factory reset the phone and it still says custom! weird.
I don't know why this is happening, when I had an S4 and used Kingo Root to root it says custom but upon un-rooting the phone returned to Normal.
Does anyone have a stock recovery img to flash? or a way to solve this? I would like to be able to check for updates.
I have the C101 International version.
Thanks
Have you tried installing a stock ROM with Odin software? It should resolve the problem! have you tried it?
Before I start, my phone IS rooted (Rooted with KingRoot 4.4.2)
So as I was trying to put my phone's SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive, i've come across editting the build.prop file successfully, setting 'ro.build.selinux' or whatever it was to 1. Then, that wasn't working, I was told deleting Knox (which I've already uninstalled and deleted all of the apps for it), but the files were still left behind, so it was still there. I grabbed Root Explorer and deleted everything of Knox. The next time I rebooted, my phone was stuck on the Verizon logo screen, got past the Samsung screen fine. So my phone is now bricked from deleting the stupid Knox core files and stuff and I can't find the damn recovery tar/md5 file for it anywhere; I used to have it, but since I've upgraded to Windows 10 a few months earlier, I formatted everything due to unneeded storage being tooken up and lost it in the deletion process. So I ask, does anyone have the recovery file that boots the stock, I remember the file I had what it was named - something like "VRUFND7_i605T0LTEVZW4.4.2_HOME.tar.md5" something like that..including those words I doubt it would be named the same way as this, but PLEASE help me. I need my phone for many purposes and it is the only one I have.
I have hosted the files on my website here and you can get them form the forms below

Go Here and download either of the Firmware Files and download the pit file (MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT WHAT BOXES TO CHECK AND UNCHEK IN ODIN) http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...note2-return-100-stock-updated-5-12-13-a.html
Unlock your boot loader

root your phone with ANY other way on XDA besides Kingo Root. Only use Kingo root as a last resort when their is NO root method available for your device.
Also get use the Clockworkmod recovery . I could not get roms to boot or flash property on the TWRP Recovery. I had to Odin back multiple times.

If you were previously on the stock Verizon firmware 4.4.2 ND7, (which I'm assuming you were), then you have a phone with a locked bootloader that has no current method to unlock it. Adam Outler's Back Atcha Verizon and Casual won't work to unlock the bootloader.
You also cannot downgrade the phone to a previous firmware version because of the unlockable bootloader. Regular Custom recoveries such as CWM will not work either because of the locked bootloader. The only custom recovery that currently works on the locked 4.4.2 bootloader is Safestrap, which is a modified version of TWRP.
If you were previously on stock 4.4.2 ND7 before everything got messed up, then you can only restore the phone back to stock 4.4.2. You can find the stock 4.4.2 firmware at Sammobile.com. It costs nothing to download it from Sammobile, but you will have to register which is free.
If you can still boot the phone into Odin mode (i.e. Volume down+home button+power button), then you should hopefully be able to use Odin to restore the phone back to stock 4.4.2 firmware to get it working again.
Recognized XDA Contributor Droidstyle put together a detailed guide on how to restore the phone back to stock firmware. See the guide under section 1b here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181
The guide is still accurate for the most part, except you'll need to restore the phone back to the 4.4.2 Stock firmware (assuming that's what firmware version you were on previously), which you'll have to get from Sammobile since it's not available through Droidstyle's guide. Also, if you use the newer version of Odin like version 3.0.9, then you have to load the phone's firmware into the AP slot, (not the PDA slot which is mentioned in Droidstyle's guide.... the PDA slot is what used to be used in ODIN 3.0.7 and older Odin versions).
