Hello Guys. Need a little help. Have a rooted Note 2 i317 (At&t) that had a custom rom but I wiped with the recovery on it which was TWRP 2.4.3.0. Now I tried putting the NOTE 4 rom for the model I have but it won't take. Again I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. the only rom I can get to work so far is Slimbean 4.3. Is there any thread were it gives me required files for updating the rom. I have tried updating kernel and other stuff but the only rom that works without a problem is Slimbean 4.3 with the Gapp 4.3 pack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I f'd up by wiping without having full understanding but I've been away from Rooting since the older sammy's from Metro.
Also tried updating TWRP with the App and it gave me a notice saying "Something is wrong!" but it has version 2.8.7.0 on it at least that's what it says. IDKWTF happened. Please help. Going nuckin futs.
UPDATE: Got it figures out guys. Used another computer and everything is good. Used TWRP and Installed another version and performed a return to stock and started fresh. ALLGOOD. Thanks anyways.

hey guys. lurker turned new poster here at XDA. a friend of mine turned me on to this a while back when he introduced me to the world of rooting. I've recently bought a Galaxy S III (SGH-i747), and I've been trying to root it using mskip's unified toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290). I got it rooted once, but eventually bricked it when trying to get 4.4 on it, and had to reinstall the stock 4.1.1 rom on it and lost the root in the process.
I'm completely new to all this, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I've been searching as much as I can and reading a lot, but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing here. when I try to root it lately using the toolkit, it gets stuck in the process after I exit Odin, and will never progress.
before when the root was actually in place, I tried to install a custom OS after doing a full wipe of the system, and it never would install. I tried it with TWRP and CWM, and there was no success with either of them. the one peculiar thing, however, is that I could never get it to install with the "ALLINONE" option. when I got it to work that once, I had to install it each individually.
is there some sort of guide out there that would make this easier for me to get 4.4 on the phone? or will someone be able to help me through the process?
thank you for your time!
I just rebooted my comp, reinstalled the drivers for the phone through the toolkit, and gave it one more shot at rooting it (option 1 in the program), and this is what the process looked like.
*see attached image*
I *always* get stuck at the "pushing superuser.apk and su binary.." part.
any thoughts?

My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2. I rooted by installing a rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Do not flash a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom if you have a bootloader from 4.3.
when I got the phone, it had 4.1.2 on it. when I bricked it, I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM on it, and that's what I've been using as my base ROM.
Boomer1605: I'll try that when I get home.
anyone else know what is up with the place I get stuck at during the toolkit way?
My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2 when I got it. SInce I needed to unlock it and didn't want to pay, I installed the stock Bell 4.1.1 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/.
After using the menu option to unlock the phone and confirm that it was unlocked, I flashed the pre-rooted Bell s3 4.1.2 rom.
Everything worked perfectly, no errors or issues at all.
Cool! Can I find a pre-rooted 4.1.1 AT&T rom on that site? I can't really look at that link cause I'm currently at work.
Pre-rooted roms are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was able to install Root Explorer on my pre-rooted ROM and delete a tonne of Samsung apps.
I was able to install a pre-rooted version of 4.1.1, and I did a system/data/cache/dalvik wipe from the TWRP screen, but when I tried to install both Liquid Smooth and Omni Rom, it failed. I even restarted and didn't wipe, and it still failed. not sure where to go from here... :/

totally got it to work! I skipped using the toolkit to install TWRP, and used GooManager to use the latest TWRP. worked like a charm! currently running on Liquid Smooth 4.4.2!
thanks for the rooted copy of 4.1.1!

Awesome! Congratulations. For future reference, TWRP also had tar images for use with Odin.
Hello,
I'm new to rooting and I softbricked my phone last night. After reading Docs thread on the t-mobile sgh-t999l I was able to restore it to the factory settings.
I am currently running jellybean 4.3. My phone is rooted and I downloaded a CWM custom and flashed it through ODIN (computer).
When I try and install any custom roms through boot recovery I get a status 7 error code. Ive tried everything that Ive read in the other threads as far as readjusting the scripts etc.
Device info:
Baseband Version
T999LUVUBMK4
Kernel
3.031-210647
The phone itself is a T-Mobile refurbish but it might have been a sprint buy back.
When I opened the scripts for the PACMAN installer my UVUBMK wasnt even listed, so I'm not sure whether that is even an issue.
Any help is appreciated.
This seems like an awesome forum and I appreciate everyones input.
Donny
Can i just add my baseband, T999LUVUBMK4, into the script?

Flash the latest recovery ?

Sorry for not fully understanding....
What recovery?
I've got the latest nightly of the PAC rom. I updated my CWM to the latest version as well.
Thanks

So I reset my phone at stock, ran superuser and disabled knox.
Flashed the latest TWRP and tried to reflash the zip.
It hangs on the asserts.
If I try and flash the file with the asserts deleted it wont work either.
Any help?

Hello Everyone,
im new here but ive been on this forum before for help searching similar problems.
now the problem i have today is driving me crazy since 4pm, i tried everything and no hope.
i have Galaxy note 3 tmobile it was rooted working great but i wanted more out of my rom so i decided to go with jedi elite, but it was recommended to flash it with TWRP so i thought i could flash it over CWM. but it didnt work and i couldnt reboot in recovery anymore. no problem backed up my apps and unrooted the phone back to normal with 4.3, then i found out that 4.4 is out so i went ahead and downloaded it thinking i can root with 4.4 kitkat. well after i updated the phone i rooted and tried to use TWRP but it wouldnt work and the phone didnt wanna boot in recovery i tried CWM and no luck either.
now the phone for some reason is not rooted, it wont load in recovery mode and i tried to downgrade back to 4.3 with odin but it keeps failing.
heres what i need help with. Downgrade back to 4.3, be able to root and boot in recovery mode with TWRP...
help pleaseeee.
If you flashed the full 4.4 update your not going to be able to go back but you can have your root and recovery. Just no 4.3 roms, sorry. Easiest thing for me to tell you is there are some good tuts, if you can follow directions you can get straightened out. I was feeling generous and searched for you.
Good tut here for getting going on 4.4:

Once you went up u here. No looking back. I disagree with you cause kit Kat is great. It has speed and great battery life. No more WiFi headaches. U need to search the threads for the how to root video and follow it. The last 10 or so people who hated kit Kat was all them doing wrong. Can't blame something when u doing it wrong. What recovery you got what root method. Where did you get Odin file from. Did md5 check out. I tell you that you my friend did something wrong. Read the threads not just the op. A few guys posted a step by step and it worked for 98% of the people. The other 2 did it wrong

It worked but the rom maxes at 2.4 kitkat and jedi are 2.7mhz. is there any method to root tmobile 4.4 at least with 4.4??
Made big mistake. Downloaded Android Toolbox (PRO). Rooted 4.3 successfully. Trying to go to 4.1.2 from 4.3. Did Titanium backup. Downloaded Mr Robinson root66 ROM. Using TWRP (latest), made mistake of wiring everything (not extsdcard). Now stuck at the first Galaxy Note screen when the phone is turned on or I can get to TWRP. Feel dumb as a stump, but can't seem to move from here. Help!
All I really want to do is get back to an operating phone, be it with 4.3 or 4.1.2.

Sorry for the long-winded whiny first post. I'm just stumped how to flash a ROM back on the phone. Can I use TWRP to flash a new ROM? I usually have been able to muddle through but I'm really confused at this point. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

If you can get into recovery you should be able to flash a custom rom, If not you will have to use Odin and flash a t889 rom to your phone preferably mk7.
Does your phone go in to download mode ? If yes, does it recognized by ODIN ?
If TWRP is working then you should not have any problems flashing any 4.3 rom via TWRP.
Thank you for the hint. I finally woke up after these replies and made the phone into a non-brick again. XDA continues to be my source for all things related to my toys.

Hey guys,
I haven't upgraded my Note since 4.4.2 Hyperdrive 4. I thought i would get CM14 installed but need to get from 4.4.2 to 7.1.
I restored from original backup using TWRP, so it should be stock, yet, system update still detects that it's not the original one.
I was thinking, can't i just download 7.1 and flash it using Odin? And then install CM14?
I am on KOT49H.P600UEUCND2
Forgive me if i am not understanding something, it's been a while since i have done this process.
Thanks in advance,
