whatever the rom i put on it and for flashing an entire rom several times it works perfectly just cant figure why for a complete rom no problem and for a little 24 mo of cf root it crashes every time tried several ports cables odin versions 3.09 3.07 1.85 1.87 niet
so has anyone succed rooting the 900h version and how and do you advice me to wait or keep trying and risking to brick it
thanks in advance for interest and answer

no one have the 900h variant ??? :crying:

for those interested the problem was from reactivation lock that's it ,question ansered by my self

You need to enter into security settings and disable Reactivation Lock. After procedure you can turn it on again.
I habe G900H version and everything gone ok. Piece of cake.

I've been through some serious root problems. When I root successfully. I have flash cook rom 4.2 JB and memory partitions in the device's successful I lost root. Luckily I have TWRP 2.5.0.0. Then I tried to re-root your device by supersu.zip but without success. I also use framaroot failed. I finally copied the su binary file in system / xbin and copy files supersu.apk in system / app but I still can not get root. So how to root this device. My device is lenovo-p770 rom: 4.2 JB

You are advised to report this at Lenovo's section

Can you please list down the steps you used to root the G900h?

hello guys. .
I have 3 problems regarding my Samsung galaxy s5 SM G900H . .
1)I have recently rooted with cf auto root via ODIN. . BT by default I got super su version 2.68 which it beta app. . .even play store have version2.65 as latest version. . .super su keeps on asking for binary update. .when I try to update it normally,it always gets failed. .
2)I thought if I could install cwm/twrp recovery I could install super su version 2.65 and fix the binary issue. . I got the cwm recovery and flashes it via ODIN. . .cwm was installed. .BT it shows mount issues and seems to have reading SD card issues. . I can't backup to my SD card or so. . .
this is the text which I see when open cwm recovery. . .even when I installed Phil's recovery from rashr recovery tools. . ven Phil's recovery showed same issues. .
3)I have installed flashfire in my Samsung galaxy s5. . it shows the following warning. . .
I just want to backup my current stock ROM and move to s6 ROM for my Samsung galaxy s5 SM G900H. . .if you have any working alternatives feel free to suggest. . .
please help. .

[HELP]Soft bricked. Odin stuck on factoryfs.img e Cwm error

My Galaxy only enters in download mode, and when I try to flash a rom with odin, it stucks on factoryfs.img. Either rom with only 1 file or with 3 files and PIT file. It's able to flash kernel, but, when I try to flash a rom with CWM, an error occurs. I tryed to flash lpy, lc1, lc3 with odin and criskelo ics lpy and alba lpy
Hi, did you select the repartition box when using the pit file?
This happened because you didnt do the 4 wipes. You should flash a stock rom according to your actual base. I.e. if your actual kernel is lc1 then flash lc1.
Also, prior to this remove your battery for 5 minutes. Hope this helps. Please post your results.

What Rom were you on prior to attempting to flash with PC Odin?
Also, what did you do to cause the Note to be able to boot just into download mode?
Did you perform a wipe from any ICS leak or XXLPY prior to encountering this problem?
(read the sticky post at the top of this forum...)
I was using xxLPY official, but I didnt like it. And i dont remember what I did to brick the device haha... But I tried to flash with odin, all the ways possible, with pit file, only 1 file, 3 files, 3 files with pit. But what I really could flash, was the kernel only. And after flashing the kernel, i tried to flash with cwm, 2 differents roms
another person bricked their device while using Pc Odin. Non with Mobile Odin yet
I saw many posts from people who bricked the note, but now one could unbricked the phone =/

ok try this. if u flash all 3 or 1 files and it didnt work, flash the pit file. only the pit file. tick re partition, auto reboot and reset f.time.
after that, reboot the phone and reboot windows/mac. enter download mode, and flash the 3 or 1 file rom that u have. let me know if it work.
Just bricked mine from criskelo super stable build. flashed cm9 nightly rebooted and no power at all. usb dont see it either. So off to repair store. Dont do what I did
So no, do es anyone think that lpy is safe? Because i remember Many people saying that it was totally safe because it was oficial and not a leak
Really samsungs engineers must look ti what they are doing, it shouldnt be too difficult ti revert to gb eMMC driver

Don't give up so easy. ... If you tell us what kinda root method did u use it might help us to help you figure it out what is your firmware. ....MF3 use jortex method to root. ...(format your sd card to exfat and use terminal emulator)......If already on 4.3 MK2 u should use SAFEROOT METHOD from Verizon forum. .... follow my thread..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080.... it will get u back on track. ...... If u are MF3 just use MF3.tar files from first post. ....If u think u are Mk2 using that one click tool..... (Most likely u are MK2 already. ... Since u said u upgraded to 4.3 and root doesn't work anymore).... Then u should go to post#3 follow the guide. .....u should be ok..... save that money.... If u need more help PM me......

Im having similar woes. I had problems installing a ROM, softbricked, tried restore to 4.2.2, wouldnt go, tried updating (stupidly) to 4.3 got obKNOXious (had no clue then about knox) tripped knox by trying to go back to 4.2.2 and got firmware update fail. Stuck with no recovery, nor any way of repairing. I tried many versions of ODIN, both kies emergency firmware update options, and heimdall. Heimdall seems promising as i have been able to flash a custom recovery with --no-reboot and reboot using pwr+home+vlup, and i get a warning about tripping knox but it boots into custom recovery. I am able to flash (CM11 for example) but it gives me kernel trips on knox and shuts down on boot. i saw your other thread about the mf3 and mk3 but im not sure if they would work for my variant. no matter what i try i cant get this paperweight to its former glory. local repair center said they wont do anything as knox warranty = tripped. no best buy samsung centers in my area. someone please help.

OK im shocked but somehow i made this work. i used to kies to download firmware by using firmware upgrade and initialization under tools and grabbing the firmware from windows user/appdata/local/temp folder after kies finished downloading (as it starts decompressing)(faster than waiting to download from sammobile). i then pulled all files out of md5 using 7zip, and used heimdall to flash all files to their respective partitions/mountpoints. rebooted still no recovery nor boot. tried again and nothing. i then tried a custom recovery and it gave me seandroid enforcing RECOVERY and restart. so then i tried flashing custom recovery again using heimdall with --no-reboot switch and rebooted with volup+home+pwr and then i was able to enter custom recovery. so i wiped data and cache rebooted got nothing, no recovery no boot just dl mode. so i then reflashed stock rom through heimdall and rebooted, got stock recovery which would try to do something (progress bar appeared) and bootlooped. so i reflashed custom recovery again wiped cache and data and /data /media option (which took longer even though no extsdcard present, which puzzled me) and this time i tried to mount system in recovery and got an error. so i formated /system and it mounted fine. rebooted no boot no recovery. flashed custom recovery wiped /data /media, /cache, /dalvik, formated /sdcard, /system, /data, /cache, mounted /system and rebooted right into download mode and flashed stock image but this time with --no-reboot switch and once finished i manually rebooted into recovery. recovery did its thing and i finally i got a boot animation and glowing led, left it for 10 minutes and it was at samsung setup screen. unplugged my phone instantly died. no boot no recovery. repeated last step but once in samsung os i went to settings backup and reset menu and reset the phone from there. it went into recovery on its own, erased and rebooted and it seems to work fine now (fingers crossed, its only been ten minutes (relatively little compared to this 2 week ordeal.) Oddly enough kies downloaded a bell version although my phone is fido

[Q] S4 Soft Brick

Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!
It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.
have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I got philz custom recovery finally, and was able to flash NG2 pre-rooted, but the baseband version is old and wifi/data isn't working. I'm trying to flash the NG2 Modem.tar under the phone tab in odin, but i receive fail auth still and secure check fail: apnhlos.
I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?
Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.

Hi there
I am in Saudi Arabia , I pre-ordered the device and I get that version SM-G925i.
Since that time I was upset because I was waiting for the international one , you know most developments are going to the international one.
My question is , are we going to get support and development for ours ( ROMS,MODS..etc.) ?
thanks in advance.
I was thinking about developing my own rom. I was gonna wait though. Im a bit of a perfectionist and i dont really have the time to dedicate what would be needed to fulfil the project

Then i've searched and searched and found this video on youtube with some guy who calls himself the android docter and he said flash your S5 to an earlier firmware, and then you should able to root the device.
Well thats what i did, flashed the device from android 5.0 to 4.4.2..
And guess what still cant root it.
The root i tried was CF-auto-root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip and CF-auto-root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip
Both the same failure/error. i even tried to flash TWRP but i think i should root the device first.
I got the proper samsung drivers and i tried even some other odin versions.
Can someone help me plz, i would be so thankfull.

I had the same problem... But i don't know how I came out... I've tried lots of time changing the USB port and the USB jack. Instead of using cf auto root try to root supersu from a custom recovery. So try to flash a custom recovery and see if it works.

Ok....There seems to be a lot of conflicting, confusing information on this thread......
To clear things up a bit.....
It has been mentioned that rolling back to 4.4.2 is necessary in order to gain root....
While it is possible to do this, it certainly isn't *necessary*.
It has also been stated that the rollback and root didn't work.....
I'm guessing here (because the entire method wasn't mentioned) that it was suggested to rollback and use Towelroot to root the device. It is possible to do this, but only under certain circumstances.....
Go to 'about device' and check the build date.....
If the build was compiled AFTER the end of June 2014, towelroot WILL NOT WORK.
In this case, it is necessary to....
1) install (but do not run) the towelroot app.
2) Use Odin to flash a pre June 2014 kernel.
3) run towelroot.
4) re flash your original kernel.
5) enjoy your rooted device.
See this thread for full instructions....
Rooting knox 0x0 by wajiman
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2843044
If the user is running Lollipop, rooting can be achieved by odin flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0, then booting into TWRP to flash SuperSU 2.46 zip.......
This exact method.....
1) deactivate 'Reactivation Lock'.
2) copy SuperSU zip to your device.
3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed if necessary) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)
7) flash SuperSU zip.
8) boot device as normal.
