Hi, folks

I was using this procedure to root my Note 3 Neo SM-N750

http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-neo-sm-n750

But when I started flashing with Odin, it got stuck at writing Cache.img and screen when black with lots of coloured dots. Please see attached file for odin error screenshot.

Now it says I have to recover with Kies when powering up the phone.

Please advise.

Strange. I pulled the batt and retry flashing same procedure and file and it worked! Glad else will be sad bricking the device on day and can't claim warranty since tripping Knox.

How can it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't? It means that this sw is unstable that's all.

Btw, after a month with my 7505 i think it was a mistake getting it, its worth adding this 100$ and get a phone that runs kitlat.
This 4.3 android is just not as good

I don't know why it didn't work the first time. I have had Samsung phones and rooted and flashed then since S1. So I know how Odin suppose to work. Else I wouldn't have flashed it one first day.

So this is one of those exceptions where I was stumped at least for 15 kind what when wrong.

Anyways .. All good now. As they always say use at your own risk.
