Pull battery out, get sutff ready prior to odin, eithet recovery or stock img, then put battery back on, then put phone on download mode, vol. Up + vol.down then plug usb, tadda! You're on dowload mod make sure you have the right files, homie, if you are able to boot on recovery right now, that means you can boot into dowload mode just know the right button combo

Have you tried putting a twrp recovery flashable zip as in flash twrp usig cwmt?

Hey, I had the same problem. Could only get into cmw 6.0.1.2 and all flashes would just freeze up. I flashed darkside superwipe till it stopped, pulled the battery, flashed an old ics ROM, looked like it froze again so i pulled battery and started phone normally, booted perfectly. Then downloaded ROM manager from play store and flashed cwm. Phones been working beautifully ever since.

No, none of them fully completed, thats why i had to battery pull. For the first several flashes i let it sit for 10min+ hoping it would work itself out, to no avail. The battery pulls were out of frustration. I just did trial and error until it eventually worked. Sometimes you have to figure things out for yourself.

Give this a try:
1) Go to Samsung Kies & download " Kies " on your PC.
2) Run Kies & click on the Tools tab.
3) Select " Firmware upgrade settings " & follow the on screen steps. Depending on your download speed this my take 1hr.
4) Your phone is back to stock ICS 4.0.4. Put this file on the root of your SD card " root.zip " You can also find this zip in the installed folder for Toolkit Beta.
5) Download & install " [APP] Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.4 *ICS ROOT READY!!!* "
6) Follow the on screen steps to flash CWMT. This will use odin to flash CWM Touch back on your phone.
7) After odin opens click pda & select the recovery file " recovery.tar.md5 " it should be the only file listed.
8) After CWMT is on your phone and phone has rebooted unplug the usb wire from the phone & turn it off.
9) Pull battery wait for 10 sec then replace battery now push in and hold both volume up & volume down buttons at the same time then hold the power button until the phone vibrates. *Do not let go of the volume buttons until you see CWMT*. It will flash the screen one time then you are now ready to flash the root.zip file you put on your SD card.
10) Find the root.zip file you put on your SD card, now flash it *note it may not flash right away just keep trying until it flashes. Then reboot.
11) You should now be stock & rooted & ready to flash your hart out.
Let me know if this helps, I have done this 4x now & it works with no problems.

Hey guys,
I've been flashing ROMS for years and this is my first real issue.
I tried to upgrade from an earlier version of CM10 to the newest one. After I flashed GAPPS this caused the phone to get stuck on reboot so I went back to CWM recovery.
ALL MY DOWNLOADED FILES WERE GONE IN CWM. Including all the roms I had, and my NANDROID backup (which I would have just reflashed right there).
I tried to Odin back to stock and it passes but gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo every time.
I've tried to scour threads on XDA and on Google. The closest thing I found was a thread where it mentioned I'd need Tmobile Bootchain commands but I can't find those either.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to Odin using a different computer.. or redownload Odin and the files needed
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Odin the stock firmware you mean from a different comp? I don't think that is the issue since Odin shows that the flash was successful. The phone reboots itself and it gets passed the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen to the Tmobile Android 4g boot animation.
Additionally, people in the Verizon S3 forum are describing my issue exactly here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030)

I can't get into stock recovery man, or any kind of recovery.Holding vol up + home + power hangs permanently after the SGS 3 boot screen, nothing happens.
Go to Doc's stickie and I think it is in the 2nd post, there is an Odin flashable version of TWRP (maybe a copy of CWR but since I don't use it I'm not sure).
Flash that and let it "try" and reboot. It won't but you can do the key combo to get into TWRP recovery and either flash a ROM, Restore or at the very least Factory Reset, which would be my first choice.
Somewhere back there in your efforts, I think you may have erased your internal and if that is where your backups were kept then that might be why they are gone. Just a thought though.
In odin, uncheck auto reboot. Flash the recovery tar in pda spot. When it says pass, pull the battery and boot into recovery with volume up, home, and power. Release the power button when u feel the vibrate. Then thank mrmako777 for teaching me this tonight

Glad you had it all worked out.
This is exactly what was suggested to you before, since you said in your OP you had already odin back to stock. What I don't get is how come you were not able to boot into original recovery when it was just going on a boot loop. It doesn't matter. At least you fixed it. Enjoy

I have been trying to root my GS4 since Friday. It will not work. I have the Tmobile version M919.
I did the motochopper one on my Main Win7 computer it fails.
Did it it on the netbook win 7 failed.
Did it on the mac and it failed.
So, I decided to do the oden thing. Well I get to where it says passed. But when I try to boot into recovery it is the android recovery and not CWM. What the heck is going on. Ben at this for 3 days and it is driving me crazy. A friend of mine just got the ATT one. I sent him the info to root it on the mac he did it within 10 min. Mine won't do it. I am wondering if Tmobile has something to do with this. I got an update from them a few days ago.
Anyone have info to fix this problem or is it just me? The only other possible thing that I can think of is this. I have a GS2 and it is rooted. I signed in with my google info on the GS4 which brought some of my rooted apps and some of my superuser, rootchecker and stuff lilke that. Would that stop it from rooting? Sorry for the misspelling.

I clicked on the link and realized I already did this one. Mostly all day was on this one. I can get through the oden part but I can not get it to boot into cwm. Only the android recovery. I did try and flash the file from there but it fails. That is where I got stuck at.

Showed it passed. It rebooted. I chose shut down. Pulled cord out volume up, home button power and the android system recovery comes up. Did this 3 times as far as trying to get into the recovery. I don't get it. Should I do a factory reset on the phone or something just to pull my root checking app, super user stuff off there. Also I did run the zip file a few times earlier today. It did something weird. After the phone rebooted it just kept playing this music over and over. Sounded like upbeat church music I would hear on a Sunday morning.

The phone is off. I push down volume up, home button down and then hit the power button. It comes up galaxy s4 and then I let off the power button and about that time the android recovery comes up. Happens every single time. I have rooted every single phone that I have had. I used to work at a cell phone shop here in Dallas. I am going to make some calls tomorrow and see if I can find someone else to root it and see if they have the same problems. But this should be a no brainer I would think. I just can't figure out why it is not working.
Since nothing is working I just did this.
I reset the phone. Created a new gmail and drop box account. Ran odin on it. Restarted it and same thing again. Just boots into Android Recovery.
it happen the same picture as me yesterday!
let start over from beginning.
1.first factory reset
2.Download and install (UVUAMDL Official TAR) and flashing with Odin 3.07 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
3. Download and install (oudhs Download Recovery TAR) and flashing with Odin 3.07 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260031
4. download (ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268880 and install in oudhs Recovery
this should do it!
I used odin method....like the s3....once u flash the.recovery u need to pull the battery not reboot...then hold up.on the.volume after putting the battery back and hitting the power button...soon as u see rebooting recovery you can let go of the volume up

Installing Custom Recovery
Make sure you read all instructions before trying, as I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD cards. As this is only a step by step instructions on how to do it.
Step 1 Download Knox remover and SuperSU and put it on your phone(some where you will remember)
Step 2 Go to developers options and check(toggle) USB debugging, after that you can put your phone into download mode.(Phone off > Hold volume down, power and home button all at once, let go when you see the next menu) A warning will be prompted, volume up to continue.
Step 3 Open Odin and click on PDA and select CWM Recovery 6, make sure you UNCHECKED AUTO REBOOT.
Step 4 Plug your device in, and you should see that it is connected (if not, install Kies) as soon as its plugged in hit start.
Step 5 When the process has finished. Take out battery and leave it out, unplug your phone from computer. Wait a few seconds. Put battery back in and boot straight into recovery(If not Knox will reinstall stock recovery, thus making your restart all over again) (Press and hold Volume up, power and home button as SOON AS YOU SEE BLUE WORDS IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER LET GO).
Step 6 You should be in the custom recovery. Go to install zip and find where you put Knox remover. After you finished wipe cache/delvik.
Substep(Optional) - It is recommended that you make a nandroid backup as soon as possible because with the latest 4.3 update, there is no way to reflash back to stock if something goes wrong later with the phone, and the nandroid will be the only way to fix the phone without flashing another ROM. (Thanks to shortydoggg)
Step 7 If you wish to immediately flash SuperSU go to install zip, after flashing wipe cache/delvik.
Odin
Knox Remover
SuperSU
CWM Recovery 6
You could have also added either in step 6 or step 7 to make a nandroid backup as soon as possible because with the latest 4.3 update, there is no way to reflash back to stock if something goes wrong later with the phone, and the nandroid will be the only way to fix the phone without flashing another ROM.

Rooting requires a usb connection to a pc because you don't have access to the filesystem unless in download mode or unless you are already rooted.

Hi Guys,
So I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that as of 5 hours ago was completely stock and running android 4.3 (the official one from AT&T). I got bored last night and decided I wanted to root my phone (something I hadn't yet done in the entire year I had my phone). So I looked up how to root, read the instructions all the way (I thought my research was complete). I rooted using the CF auto method. After doing that I flashed TWRP using ODIN. I also downloaded Titanium Backup, Rom Manager & My Backup Root. I tried to use all three of these applications to make a backup of my device so that I could flash the custom Rom I wanted without losing all my information. That is when my troubles began.
Whenever I tried to access any of these apps I got a pop up saying Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped and a notification stating An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked. None of the apps would run either and just kept freezing or loading forever.Thinking I'd done something wrong I repeated the root process all over again. I still kept getting the same notifications though. I typed in the unauthorized access notification message into google and discovered about Knox. Doing some tinkering of my own I went to settings (more tab)>>security>>device administrators>> unchecked knox>>deactivate. After deactivating Knox I once again tried to gain root access and had no success. I followed the advice from previous threads and tried to change all Knox.apk files to knox.apk.bak using Explorer, I downloaded Android terminal and tried to delete knox via the command line su pm... That also did nothing. I went to the market and tried to download the SuperSU app by CHAINFIRE, it wouldn't work as it already says the app is installed but offers me no updating options. I also downloaded the Update SuperSU zip file and tried to flash it. My phone wont boot into recovery though so that hasn't gotten me anywhere. Downloaded Rom Manager and GooManager to try to get into recovery mode and still no success. later flashed philz_touch via ODIN as people who had similar problems had posted about it working for them. Didn't work for me. Flashed TWRP again using ODIN and am now just scratching my head trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
I'm personally not worried much about the warranty stuff but am more concerned with the fact that I can't root my phone. All I want is to be able to load a custom rom (MIUI v5) onto my phone. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.... If you've seen someone else with an issue like mine please just redirect me to the proper thread then.
p.s. I also tried running the root verify app and it got stuck on a loading page.
When I power my phone off and boot into recovery mode (or whatever its called) my stats read as:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: Yes (7 counts) - this is from all my attempts to reroot and flash different recoveries
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 1
AP SWAEV: A2
Not sure if it matters but my phone still works fine and I can make and recieve calls, texts, etc so it doesn't seem like anything is "broken." Just no root access on a rooted phone.

As for flashing it your TWRP I can't because I can't load into recovery mode with TWRP. The only thing thats working for me is ODIN. Not sure if there's a way to flash from ODIN or not but I personally don't know of one (I'm new to ODIN).

Philz ClockWorkMod recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed the first recovery file but it still won't boot into recovery for me. When I try to boot into recovery it keeps taking me to the default recovery screen. Tried launching titantium backup and what not again and they're all still not working for me.
Got the philztouch one to flash. Still won't boot into custom recovery though.

K. Try this. 69% sure it will work.
- Download from http://d-h.st/CDK
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
- Extract the .zip file to get to I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.tar.md5
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Open ODIN and place the I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5 file in PDA and flash.
I know you know how to do all that's written there, I just copied and pasted from a post.

This didn't work for me either. Not sure exactly what's wrong with my note but I may just have to give up on gaining root access. maybe i'll try a different method to root.... I'm 100% sure I'm rooted though based on what the phone says when I boot into the default system recovery. Just don't understand why I can't gain root access and boot into custom recovery. Thank you for all your help though you've been an absolute doll. :angel:

No worries. I aim to please.
You aren't the first this has happened to. Just trying to remember what I did. I know what I did to fix it, I think it's this version though.
Download and try this one
http://d-h.st/OYC
It's the MK4 version of the earlier param/tz you tried.
That should have worked, clueless why it didn't.
...
ODIN this one, let it reboot back into ROM.
Power down, go into download mode and flash either one of the custom recoveries.
Let it reboot, power down, then try and go into recovery.

It seems my life has become a horrible case of Murphy's Law (as far as rooting this dang phone goes). So I used the 4.3param_tz.tar file that you posted previously. After being flashed via ODIN my phone automatically booted into Philz Touch recovery more. I initially decided that I was going to flash the SuperSU update then but decided to wait as I wanted to follow the instructions completely and flash TWRP instead. rebooted the phone. Turned it off again and booted back into recovery..... I was once again met with the default stock recovery (I thought my problems were solved and was already half way through writing a post to you confessing my love).
At this point I proceeded with some caution and tried to flash TWRP. Didn't work. ODIN/my phone kept getting stuck in recovery.img. Disconnected the phone after a couple minutes, pulled the battery and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Once again ODIN/my phone got stuck on recovery mode. Tried flashing 4.3param_tz.tar again and this time got stuck at param.bin.
Did some Google searching and people recommended re-installing the drivers, re-installed device drivers and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Went back to ODIN and flashed TWRP. It flashed completely and automatically rebooted the device. When I turned the device off again and tried to go to recovery mode I was again taken to the stock recovery mode page. tried to reflash 4.3param_tz.tar and it got stuck on param.bin again. Since then I've unplugged and rebooted into recovery mode countless times and tried flashing any and every thing and I keep getting stuck at either param.bin or recovery.img.
I have to go to class now so I'll probably come back sometime tonight and try to re-install the drivers and see if I can get param to flash again. If you give up completely I understand. The longer this takes the more convinced I am that it's a sign from above that I simply need to get my ass a new phone.

Hmmm. Maybe it's my fault.
That's my last name for reals.
So the param/tz you flashed I previously posted, was the first one or second one?
Try flashing the first param.bin/tz.img combo.
Sorry for the run around.
My fault again. When i posted the Philz recovery I should have mentioned either one would have been fine.
For the custom recovery, it gets down to personal preference. Both versions are working fine. They both are touch. You are just going to have to play with both and see which one trips your trigger.
I'm getting lost where we are at.
Try flashing the original param file from the 4.3 OTA. Let's see if that completes successfully. Then we'll go from there.
I'm thinking
-Fix booting into stock recovery.
-Do chainfires CF-AUTOROOT in ODIN.
-Boot phone and try updating Supersu again

I'm in the same boat this person is in, and i was about to open a new thread. I hope you don't mine joining in for help. My husband was a ninny and accepted the full OTA when I only told him to swap over his cards into the new warranty exchange we just got in. So I didn't know about it until I started trying to root and running into problems. I ran the TZ.tar.md5 file in Odin. I tried this little method here mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50532028. I can't get anything to happen other than watching the flash counter go up. I just want root so i can restore his app with Rom Toolbox from his other phone...... This Knox thing is BS......

A ninny. Something my wife has never called me I'll have to admit. Don't think she's ever considered that, I'll have to confirm that.
Back to work.... what does can't get anything else to work mean?
So what have you did? Any of the steps listed above?
We haven't heard from LadyF so assuming she's good to go. No reason to open another can't root thread.

Thanks for getting back to me. I tried the CF Auto Root file in Odin. I tried just flashing a custom recovery so I could flash SU to gain root. Those are the 2 main things I remember trying..the rest is a late night blur. I was going to just try and flash one of the rooted stock roms, however, and this is kinda' sad, I don't remember which spot to place it in Odin.
