Hello Imran, I can’t get ODIN to recognize my phone. my phone display shows the android guy and says at the top ODIN MODE in red, and then some writing and then at the bottom say UDC START. What am I doing wrong? please help
Will this work for att note 3
No
So then this DOES NOT work for the SM-N900V?
I get 1/3 of the way through, then I get a red FAIL! in Odin. Ran Odin provided in the download (Odin 3 v3.07) then I ran Odin with the one you said to use, (Odin 3 v1.85) and I still get the same result, even tried Odin3 v3.09. On my Note 3, once it fails, in red it says,
UDC START
SYS REV CHECK FAIL : No Version
SECURE MAGICCODE CHECK FAIL : recovery
Running 4.4.2 on SM-N900V
Baseband version : N900VVRUCNC4
USB Debugging Enabled
Will this work with n900vvrucnc4?
already being root….odin show pass…
when i check SU dont grant access and root checker dont verify it as rooted
Update the SuperSU binary.
Update the SuperSU binary.
Unzip the downloaded file on your desktop, You’ll get the tar.md5 file and Odin. Does this mean we have to do it on a laptop/desktop computer or download on the mobile phone and unzip?
i am in the half of the process and then stays in the same place for hours, almost in the middle, odin says ” cache.img.ext4
and never going on…any tips? i have the Note 3 N900.
Thanks!
