Im not sure of whut its mean.
TWRPManager.apk = TWRPManager.apk.tar
or
TWRPManager.apk=TWRPManager.tar
or the file is .tar basicly. cause i follow ur link and iv not seen anywhere we have to replace the extention. Just to be sure. Dont want to instal the wring thing and brick it. this phone is 1 month old.
By the way a big thanks for the time and info you provide.

If you don't know what .apk or .tar is, you shouldn't be messing with your phone
Especially if you can't follow a guide

I still thanks you again for all. Keep going ur doing a good job over here. Stay calm and keep coding

Iv dream
Hey guys im up for an other day to root that samsung s5. Iv dream this night iv got it wrong.

1- Phone is stock. Iv put back the stock system from telus.
2- Iv copie supersu zip on the phone.
3- Load twrp in odin (2.8.7)
4-rebbot phone on download mode
4- Iv flash twrp whit odin.
5- Reboot phone on recovery mode, iv could seen twrp screen.
6- clic on install and chose supersu and flash it.
7- reboot phone as usual
8- result was wizz touch keep comming to screen and relead all icon on phone in lloop.

[Q] Problem with ROOT, ROM and Recovery

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

I thought I did nothing, because it faild, but something happened...

Can I undo all of these and have my normal original rom without root?
and if I reset it, will I lose all my stuff?

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Yes, you can go back.
The easiest way is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, search for the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 and follow the instructions.

[Q] Rooting Problem 4.3

I've been searching around on how to root my device and I thought I had found the right way to do it, but after trying my phone will stay on the boot screen while saying all the recovery stuff. I can also get it into download mode again, but it won't fully start. Can anyone tell me how to get my phone back to stock ROM so that I can just use my phone again? Thanks.

It was cfautoroot. I thought I was using the right version, but evidently it might not have been. I also used Odin 3.7 instead of 3.9 on accident so I don't know if that changes anything.
So, to sum it all up, you were trying to root your device with your eyes closed ?
It's clearly written on the cfroot site what to use and how to do it.
Sent from my N9005
No... I used the file that it told me to use, and did all the steps. Anyone know how I can fix it?
Could I just do the same process over again with a different file using ODIN or do I need to put the stock back on it again in order to correctly root it? I've been looking at more guides and it seems like I did all the right things, but I guess the .tar file I had may have been old even though I thought it was for my T-Mobile Note 3 using 4.3. Any suggestions because I would prefer to get it right this time, and not mess my phone up anymore than I have.

Did you try to flash Kit Kat? Therefor you would need the new bootloader as well. I never got a bootloop with just rooting the device and that's been a lot of times. Try to flash stock rom in Odin again (7 or 9 doesn't matter) and then look for the correct file again.

U better get from someone with tmob who have it earlier. I guess the file there work on 4.4.2. U never mentioned earlier on ur 1st post that u r on tmob.
Or, easier way, upgrade to KK and then root.

So would http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote3/SM-N900T/N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_TMB.zip work? I just put the .tar file into the AP part of Odin 3.09 and start it in download mode, and it should work right? My girlfriend has the exact same phone not rooted also, would I be able to use hers at all to get it back to stock?
Thanks for the help. I was able to flash the stock ROM back on my phone and everything is back to normal. Now all I need to do is find the right file to correctly root it. (Still 4.3)
After trying again, with what I made sure was the right file for 4.3, which was the one I used before, it still won't get past the recovery and boot screen after the root process on ODIN. While looking at the guide it said to uncheck auto reboot if it is not installing then just put it into recovery mode myself and it should work. Should I do that to make it work?
Tried that, and it didn't work also. Not sure how to make it work. I put the .tar file in the AP spot. Do I need a different file in one of the other slots? Thanks.

No you don't need any other file.
Check your reactivation lock make sure it is off, usb debugging is on.
And sometimes, it needs 2 times to flash to success. Don't worry.
The only thing you have to make sure is : the root file you are using to flash, must be for 4.3 JB. Not 4.4.2
I have no idea the one inside CF-autoroot post is for Tmob 4.4.2 or for 4.3
You should find out this one, because if you are using root file for KK on JB, your phone will bootloop (and vice versa).
USB debugging on but still didn't work. Flashed it twice but didn't work. The reactivation lock option isn't showing up in my security so not sure about that one. How big should the file be that I use to root with? I found another guide that shows to use a file that's over a gigabyte big but also using the csc part of ODIN. The file I'm using now from cfautoroot is only about 20 megabytes.
I saw a post that said to use Kingo Root or Vroot but as I've been searching I've heard bad things about Kingo. Is Vroot any good?
Any more help before this gets buried?

I have no idea again. Sorry.
If u want to learn, find some other sources of knowledge and try on ur own risk.
But if u just want to get root a.s.a.p, I would suggest u upgrade to 4.4.2 and use cfautoroot. I believe the file posted on cf thread is for 4.4.2.
Good luck

Having an impossible time flashing CM11 rom, been at it for hours please HELP

This used to be easy.
After 8 hours yesterday I think I managed to root the phone. CWM/TWRP will not install. At all, under any method. Rom manager, goo manager, I now get this stupid message that says that "an application attempted to access something unauthorized and has been blocked" over and over.
Just trying to flash CM11 rom. Guess I need to learn how to sideload or something? I physically can't get my phone to recovery mode other than the stock Android, which does not have the "flash zip from sdcard" option.
For the love of god help me. My phone stopped working around 2 pm yesterday and I seriously can't believe I'm about to be going into day 2 of this, so rather than drive myself crazy i'm going to wait for help
bump please help should be simple
Hi,
Please, don't panic! Panic is your worst enemy . First, give a good read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762. Then try again . It's very likely Knox is blocking your TWRP/CWM installation, that's why you receive this message.

Hi,
Please post your installation issue on the Galaxy S4 Help Thread there might be someone better than me to help you there. Also are you sure you're flashing the right files and using the right method? Did you try another USB Cable? Did you try another Odin version? It all can contribute to the fail.

its the official samsung cable. and yes i tried others
tried other versions of odin as well
and different versions of both twrp and cwm
its crazy i tells ya xD
If it fails to flash true Odin, then you are doing something wrong.
- Different pc
- Reinstall drivers
- Different cable
- Different usb port
- Make sure kies is not running in the background
What are you running? Windows 8? Try a windows 7 pc.
Post the details of the error you are getting.
Also when the flash goes succesfull, but you still don't have a custom recovery, then uncheck auto-reboot.
can someone please link me to a guaranteed working version of a flashable recovery for odin ?
I know its a lot to ask but I've actually gone through almost that entire list you listed
tried diff cables
no kies runnning
on windows 7
drivers been installed twice
maybe i should try the other port, but in case that doesnt work can anyone just link me? sorry i've just never had this much problems with this, must be b/c of the new security knox update or w/e in oct of last year. Last June I did all this in about 15 minutes....
I had the same trouble with the knox crap yesterday, the only way I could get it rooted and/or with custom recovery was to use the Cyanogen windows installer, then when CM booted I then rebooted into recovery and installed a different rom from there. :good:

Hi i know youve already said said its officail cable but im saying try another different s4 cable. Because when i was installing recovery or anything it wouldnt let me (i thought i had original white s4 cable) but then i got my dads cable (hes gt s4) and it worked instantly. These fake cables are at large and its very very difficult to tell if its original.
Also like previous guy said using a different computer/laptop also helps i know because ive flashed my phones since day 1.
GL and plz let me know if u managed to fix it another way as its always good to try new options when others fail.

It will get you to download the installer (or http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/CMInstaller.msi?t=1403660099360) the click it to run, It may download an update for itself, then it will download recovery, operating system, gapps, then start to install everything. About 300mb altogether.
That way you don't need the tar files, just search on this sight for flashable from recovery for the recovery files you want. (I use the touch versions myself).

i am little bit confused, help me to help you ! Well , now your phone is bootlooped or no? If it is not , what rom do you have? stock one ?
You can try this method as well, because the method you tried needs to flash a custom rom . i do not like that kind of root method . For me first you flash twrp through odin, flash root, better magisk, and then flash your rom .

alright you are gonna need to flash stock rom from sammobile look the link bellow, but first create an account on sammobile . the process will take like 3 hours . after that you flash the stock rom, and boot your phone normally, enable dev option by tapping 7 times on build number on software information, then go to developer options and enable Usb debugging, get your phone on download mode by turning off your phone and pressing the power button, bixby button, and volume up to flash root . i think you know the process . i will be waiting for you reply.
search for your country and csc first. unless if you already have the firmware on you pc.

Well let's try two things
If your data is important to you try to install custom ROM via TWRP
And if not try to reset factory from TWRP
I don't think that you BRICKED! your phone
It only causes from flashing wrong model firmware
And I think the best way is install custom ROM(do a full wipe)(see completely clear tutorial videos to install it right)and after system booted you can install stock ROM again

If all the things go wrong
At if your completely know that you BRICKED it(that I don't think) you can easily request debrick.img and install it from SD card
So be relax dude
It would be great experience for you to save your phone

I assume that you must have installed magisk module like app systemizer or any other like that to convert system app?
Just have to uninstall certain module from twrp using twrp file manager. Reboot it will boot.
OR
You can use read my thread in guide section " upgrade downgrade without losing data" i mentioned in detail and also some links to ready magisk patched firmwares.
New Weird ****
So Thank you so much for replying, It gave me hope , I went to a Fixit guy, He I HAVE TOTALLY NO IDEA What he did,
Since i couldnt reach Download Mode, I got him to fix it, now ...
I am running my phone. Everything looks good, The warning of root at the start disappeared and the software starts normally.
There is 1 issue. I am still unable to run samsung secure folder (type apps , i think its because i did once root the phone), Secondly.
I updated my Phone to the new Andriod version and it bricked again ? (got restored by the same guy again), So like , can someone tell me what might be causing this ?
Should i Enable Debug, Go download mode and Reinstall the Original Firmware that I patched before with magisk? like (I compared the Baseband version and Build Version of the new installed software its not same as my original phone ? Maybe this is causing it not to software update? )
I dunno The Sideefffects of once rooting the phone? I mean can i ever get the old default non rooted phone back? I hope you someone understands what im trying to ask ? Like Should i Default firmware it ? or just keep using it ? will i gain something? like Will i be able to update the software?
(NOTE: I dont need root anymore . Im done with it.)

Once rooted, secure folder will not work anymore. If you are using Android 9 then use custom ROM because there is fixes there for Secure Folder. If on Android 10 then forget about it and wait until dev fix.
And for other questions, it sounds like you are newbie and didn't know anything about it until now. I would suggest to read some article here, explore about some magisk that what its, Bootloader ... how to unlock Bootloader etc. Trust me one day you will become dev. Good Luck
What i am asking is, I think something is wrong. I cant use Netflix , It was working before (when rooted), So i want to know, Should i Use ODIN to Put my Original (UNPATCHED) Firmware in this phone?
And If i do agree to proceed, (My Boot loader is unlocked permanently btw in developer options),
I just have to put it on download, connect pc open odin add the original files and run it ? and when start wipe data and cache. is that is ? Am i missing something can you please confirm sir? and these files only right?
"AP, BL, CP and CSC (I also have HOME file should i also attach that?)
Can you recommend me a tutorial to follow via odin, Restoring my Original Firmware back ? In s10+ please? Ill be grateful to you.
