I think you need to install mono first as you are on Mac.

how did you get in this trouble what is your firmware?
now it seems you don't have 3e problem but 3-buttons problem read above link search in page for "3-button"
try to enter recovery by adb tool
Code:
adb reboot recovery
after this quickly remove usb cable from phone

If you tray to install custom ROM
1. Download from market "ROM Manager"
2. Install "ClockworkMod Recovery" or "AmonRa" (have it into ROM Manager)
3. Go to XDA Search and find your phone into forum and find good custom ROM.
4. Download it and paste it to SD card of your phone
5. Power Off phone and press "Home" button + "Power" button to get into Recovery mod and from them you will be ably to install new ROMs ;]
Thanks

I did.
At this point I just want the phone back to ANDROID Ginergerbread OS and operational.

well read this thread as I said i.e. read post #3 and follow instruction this will modify/ patch your recovery so you can access it but you need a Windows machine also you can try to flash back to 2.1 stock rom and follow instructions on post #1 you need a Windows machine...also if you need stock roms for your phone look at
this thread or just enter sammobile and enter "897" as search string you get stock 2.1 rom (you need subscription to download)

[Q] Can't get Recovery/Root. Need help please.

I NOW HAVE ROOT AND RECOVERY!
Thanks to mariostar32 and krankdroid!
Hi all,
I've just bought a Note II and am trying to get root. I've followed this tutorial carefully
HTML:
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-on-linuxubuntu/
and everything completes without error, but whenever I try and boot into recovery it just get a garbled Samsung boot logo and it never gets to recovery.
Now I can't go back to stock updates since my device has been modified, so I'm commited to getting root and custom recovery now.
Can anyone help me with what is going wrong?
Thanks

download the last version 4.1.2 and flash it via odin. If you need any help tell me.

I can no longer download updates from Samsung since I have tried to root it already.
I can't use Odin since I don't have Windows.
I have tried the method in the link above using Heimdall (Odin equiv. for Linux) and everything went fine (no errors, terminal output was as expected) but cannot get into any recovery (stock or custom)

Before you proceed with tutorial, make sure:
You have installed your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 USB drivers on your PC.
You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default.
You smartphone should have 70-80% charge remaining.
Your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 should be factory unlocked.
Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data in stored in phone memory so in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
The update is only meant for Galaxy Note 2 N7100, so don’t try it on other variants.
Step 1) Download Android 4.1.2 XXDLK7 for Galaxy Note 2 N7100. " I can't post outside links so type in google galaxy note 2 xxdlk7 "
Step 2) Download ODIN v3.07. It's an old version but you can download a newer version of odin from google but it works np
Step 3) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button until you see Android logo with triangle on screen.
Step 4) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 to your computer.
Step 5) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.
Step 6) Select the downloaded file to install by following below steps:
Click on PDA and select file with HOME or CODE in its name.
Now click on Phone and select file with MODEM in its name.
Next click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name.
At last click on PIT and select file with .pit.
Step 7) Again to to ODIN window and check Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.
Step 8) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
Step 9) When the installation is completed, your phone will restart. I hope that i helped you GoodLuck

srry didn't read your reply before i post mine, if u can flash the rom via odin, just try again to root but from another link, i can't put external links, follow a good tutorial for root, and i recommend twrp recovery

I can't use Odin, there is no Linux version.
I've found the TWRP for the Note II:
HTML:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
Does anyone know if I flash the latest .img file from that using Heimdall will that give me a recovery to then install Super-SU from?
I've only just bought this phone and can't afford to buy another if I brick it, so I'm hesitant to just try without some expert knowledge.

you must be rooted first before putting twrp.

Ok, so how can I root it?
The only Linux tutorial I've found doesn't work since I can't get a working recovery in order to install Super-SU and get root.
Is there another way to get root? Or another method that might give me a recovery so I can get root?

Ok after you did the tutorial you got rooted or not ? download root check from play store and check

No I do not have root. I wish to get root access and install a recovery, then Super-SU.

Try this, It's a root way without odin.

You can get the mobile Odin that let's you flash firmware from the device itself.

Great! I'll get that to install TWRP or CWM then, since Heimdall seems to be corrupting the recovery when flashing it.
I've got root now (thanks to mario above!) so mobile odin is a good option
Thanks!

It's nice to see that you get rooted, nw download mobile odin and flash twrp.img

[SOLVED] Failed to Root SM-N900T with factory 4.4.2 Kit Kat Firmware

Last week I purchased a new T-Mobile Note 3 with 4.4.2 installed from factory. The Build Number is KOT49H.N900TUVUCNB4, I tried to root the phone using all the available CF-Root methods that I was able to find, I tried with the CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.tar.md5 file and with the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 file, I used all the possible versions of Odin 3.09, 3.07, 1.83 and 1.85. I will start the flashing process (I've done this more than 100 times) but it will stop after 3 bars (checked the attached file). Then I tried Odin the full Stock T-Mobile ROM N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME.tar.md5 file same situation, it will flash Boot.img and Recovery.img but when it will start flashing system.img.ext4 it will fail with Write error.
If I try to start the phone I will get the following message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again", I tried with Kies but the device was never recognized.
Right now I am stuck with this message, what can I do?, thanks

After searching a little bit, I found that and I did try to Odin the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 file, but it did not work, I had the same problem, am I using the right file?

Please help !!!! , I am stuck on the boot screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again", I cannot do anything else, I've tried almost all the suggestion on all forums nothing work, thanks

You have to install the 4.4.2 rom again via Odin to get it back working

Fixed the problem, I was running Odin from a Windows XP Virtual Machine in VMware Fusion within Mac OS X, that was the problem, I just did it from a standard PC running Windows 7 and everything is fine now

are you planning on custom rom?

ok then forget root here is the link to twrp-custom recovery for our device flash this with odin then boot into recovery like normal volume up + home +power you will see the twrp menus now since ur phone is not booting if i read correctly then just wipe everything except internal storage and external sd once everything has been wiped you can flash the rom of your choice. if you ever want to go back to stock just reflash the nb4 image with odin but after the flash go into stock recovery and do a factory reset. note though im sure u know since dealing with root this will trip knox to 0x1
if i have helped please hit the thanks button. if you have any other issues let me know and i will do what i can to help

Can you be more specific? Using punctuation marks could make it a lot more understandable.
Also: Please post it in the questions section of the forum, the development section is for roms and mods.

@gtasmodder, try re-installing CWM from Odin again. Will fix your problem. ALSO post in Q/A forum.
Oh, and it is scared, not sacred.

You need to reflash using ODIN on a windows machine.
​Go to this link - it has the instructions on how to flash CWM.
After you have got your phone back up and running you need to update it to the latest version, easiest way is to boot into your ROM, go to Play store and install ROM Manager. Now simply select to update CWM.
Search this forum for Dr.Ketan threads if you need to Root/Install Stock etc.

I was in this position yesterday after a failed DN3 ROM flash.
If you follow these instructions you will be back up and running in no time:...
- Like I mentioned, flash CWM.
- Flash a stock ROM
- Root - either CF or use Dr.Ketan multitool method (search is your friend)
- Install ROM Manager, update CWM to latest
- Install <your chosen ROM> - in my case I am running CM11
Follow the above and you'll be sorted.

Possibly Bricked SGH-M919

I have my T-Mobile S4 that I think is useless, however I would like to flash LineageOS to the device. When I turn on the device, it says that the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. When I load up kies on my PC it doesn't detect my device. When going into boot mode it just says Downloading. Is there any way to fix my device?

I have the stock ROM, however it keeps failing at around 90% completion.

What is the Odin error? Tried using different usb cables and usb ports?
If the phone was running the latest stock ROM, you could use Odin to flash TWRP and a custom ROM.

The latest T-Mobile firmware can be downloaded from here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s4/firmware/#SGH-M919
After downloading, unzip the file once using a unzip program such as 7zip.
You will need a Windows PC and Odin: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-07
Instructions: https://odindownloader.com/tutorials/use-odin-downloader
It's been a very long time since I have flashed a Samsung s4. There's always a risk that something goes wrong. Best advice: be prepared to try again with different methods if the instructions don't work for your phone.
