What's up with everyone talking about Knox and possibly leaving up Strike marker that can't be removed? Thanks.

You must have not seen very much about this phone .... it has knox basically allows you to sandbox apps for higher security ... but they put a e fuse in knox when you root it turns to 0x1 and as of right now there is no way of resetting the flag to 0x0 and some things in knox will not work with root etc ....

In theory, would this be able to be removed or changed back to 0x0?
That's the only thing turning me off of rooting. Would disabling this knox thing keep it from flagging it?
Not yet and maybe never ....its only the loss of warranty ...

Well The SG Note 3 is a loot more intresting now
Easiest phone I have ever rooted. As usual your videos are very detailed and well explained. Looking forward to more videos! Also the N3 is a hell of a phone, I don't understand all of the hate for this phone.

Well, that was painless.
I was slightly apprehensive about the KNOX binary counter, decided that I would risk it, I don't want any of Sprint/Samsung bloatware anyway.
Now I'm waiting for a deodexed stock ROM, maybe even something with the bloat pre-cut.
Came to the Note 3 from the Epic 4G, quite a huge difference. Very satisfied at this time. Thanks for all your hard work!

This worked great! Thanks a lot.. But just wondering, do I need to wipe everything before rooting? Cuz I didn't, and I noticed some bugs every since I rooted.

I cant find a clear answer to this... if I have a new note3 all stock, but setup the way I want and I root will it factory reset everything?
Or - does it just root the phone, leave everything else untouched?
Thanks!
it just roots if you do it proper qbking77 has a guide on youtube check it out
Thanks for the video & links. I did this on my new Note last night and it was painless.
For anyone else whose first step after rooting is getting Titanium Backup apps restored, you may run into problems with those apps force-closing after restore. This is a known issue, and the fix lies in either of these links:

New to Note 3 and "ROOT" Need Advice, Help
Hey Guys,
This is my first "Android" Phablet (Note 3) SM-N9005. Had iPhones for last 3 years. Time for a change and time for a root
Ive Read all about the rooting process regarding the "Root de la Vega" so i don't trip the KNOX claymore
I've downloaded my AP, CSC files, de la Vega Odin v3.09 and the ADB Fastboot.zip (all from XDA latest Sources)
Few questions i have regarding the process before i get started:
- Do i need the INSTALLER. and SAMSUNG USB drivers 1.5.27.0 for the De la Vega root?
- people were talking about flashing some sort of backup will trip KNOX. is titanium backup going to trip KNOX after i root?
- What is this SUPERSu app/program? Do i get it before root or after root? do i need it?
- After i Root it. What is the best recommended ROM/Kernel to flash?
thank you sir!

Thank you sir. Great videos as always.
Good afternoon,
I'm wondering if there is a Root update available for KitKat yet? I just purchased a Note 3 and updated it to 4.4.2 (without thinking about it) and noticed that because it's only been out for less than a month it may not have available root files yet? Is that true? I've seen that there are several threads marked if you had a rooted 4.3 and want to flash a rooted 4.4.2 onto your device. But, none for a device with factory 4.4.2 already on it? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? Any help to find and support is appreciated.

I was just about to ask the same thing...
There is no way yet. Kingo says they are working on it but I got no response when I asked them for a status update.
I'm all confused too, I'm trying to root because I want the tether option, my phones still on 4.3 though I was about to update before I read this... so then if we want Kit Kat what do we do after we root on 4.3?
There's root methods out there for Kitkat I personally used chain fire's method which will trip Knox. If you are trying to preserve your Samsung warranty and not trip Knox then no.

Rooted mine,stock kit kat,took update night I bought phone, used chainfires auto root, I could care less about tripping Knox though.

Hello Dear,

If you are currently on 4.3 you can get to Kit Kat rooted by following the direction posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658315. Make sure to thank the OP (optimummind) in that thread.
Also, if you are rooting only to get WiFi tether, there are a few people who claim WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso ($1.95) is the best option available for KitKat. Read more here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50826678&highlight=tether#post50826678. The previous free mod no longer works on Kit Kat. Well that is my understanding anyway. I was rooted on 4.3 with WiFi Tether and am now rooted on 4.4 with no WiFi Tether. I hope this helps.

I can vouch for this. This definitely has enabled me to use WiFi tether without issue so far. I also have to say there is a good amount of WiFi AP customization for the app when configuring sprint note 3 to act as a AP. It is fast and is working for 4.4.2.

Then flash the one-click or tar file for NAB, install recovery, root your device, flash the stockish DeOdex rom, them download the WiFi Tether hack mod (it's DeOdex) from Josh's K3 site, and you'll be set.
If you need guidance, just ask.

I'm not happy with this releases installed software and would like to root my Verizon Note II. It's on 4.4.2 ND7. Also will I be able to unlock my bootloader so I can install CWM or TWRP and install custom roms? Thank you.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
You dont... no root method available right now. Even if there were root. There's no unlock method for bootloader after 4.3. You are stuck with what verizon has given you for now, possibly forever.

No. That's for people who never took the 4.3 update and got to unlock their bootloader. If your running mj9 or nd7 your stuck there.

Another Question
Anyone care to verify that this is legit and works to root the Verizon Note II 4.4.2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBP1Ql7wck4 . I see that there is the ability to download the root file for the VZW Note II on 4.4.2. I will do some more research. If anyone tries it please report your findings. Thanks.
My guess is no. Anything you find on rooting or flashing recovery is highly unlikely to work on the vzw note 2. Thanks for nothing, verizon.

I'm in the same situation, and I'd just like to rattle the bars of this jail cell VZW has put us Note II 4.4.2 OTA folks in. The SD card write lock is a ridiculous overreach in the name of "security."
I hear that. I don't know about anyone else's phone but after I updated to ND7 my phones been buggy. Fails on sending texts and general locking up. I've factory reset it twice and have 2.7gb available on the internal storage. Come on somebody!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
In the same boat here. Bought used, already updated. I didn't think there was an [upper class] Android device right now that couldn't be modified, so I didn't know to research first... I just came to the threads right before buying and saw the dev was booming so figured I was good.
Did VZ drop the ball here or are all carriers having this issues with the Note 2?
Root unavailable?
So basically I can't root the phone? I want to be able to use some apps that require root, is there a way to root without messing with the bootloader or not? Mobilodin maybe? I also have that 4.4.2 OTA nightmare. Thanks
There is no root.

Boo-tloader
Anyone devised a way to unlock this god forsaken bootloader? Verizon has overstepped their bounds imho. No 3rd party write access to sd? That's just ridiculous. Also, cyanogenmod would be great, but safestrap doesn't work now. Anyone have anything in the works? I would be willing to test anything available. I'm running I605VRUFND7 on the KOT49H kernel, and have plenty of experience with Odin, so no worries over bricking at the moment. Also, there is still a bounty out for anyone that can unlock it. Not so much a fortune, but imagine the fame? Thanks in advance.

The above link was some troubleshooting I went through to get root on my Galaxy Note 2 i605 w/ ND7 4.4.2. I was hoping to get TWRP or CWM on it but all attempts have failed. From what i'm gather it just not possible at this time.
Has anyone found away to unlock the bootloader so we can load recovery and put on custom ROMs???
please say yes!!!
I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded galaxy S5 with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said I'm on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models and i know T Mobile is the T models but didn't know if anyone knows anything about these phones cause I'm wanting to flash some T Mobile roms. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM with this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since they uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
That's the international version. So should be fine. I'm not sure about lte bands.. U will have to check that info out. The phone should work fine though.
The g900f is probably the most desired s5.. As its not carrier branded.
If I had to choose one I'd get either it or the g900t (T-Mobile)

Ok thanks. I got lucky and found it for $200. The only thing that worries me is that since it's not carrier branded can they report it stolen in any way after i buy it and have the IMEI blacklisted. Normally I'd just meet at the phones carrier store and have everything documented but not sure how to go about it without it being carrier locked.
I'm not sure about that. You can ask for the imei number and check it on swappa.com
If it comes back clean that may alleviate some of your worries

Well i finally found me a G900T. Gonna pick it up around 5 today. Can't wait to see what version is on it so i can get it rooted and find me a good rom to go along with it. Any recommendations?
Muniz stock rooted and debloat a bit if you want stock touchwiz. Or.. If you want more plain android, aosp, try cm12.1 currently in nightly stages but I think its stable enough for daily driver.
Some ppl like twisted Lolipop....

Ok i got the phone, so now onto rooting. Do i need to take it down to 442 to root it can i root straight from 5.0 thanks for the help getting me started
U can root from there.
Find a guide. Make sure you use proper files. (Measure twice cut once)
Do not update to of6 threw normal ota updates or flash the factory of6 firmware as it can't be downgraded I think. If you want to goto the latest which is of6 follow muniz guide
Take your time make no mistakes.
I would recommend installing a custom recovery. Twrp. After that you can easily move back and forth to whatever roms you want, trying different ones.

The sickness did a thread under general where he explains how to root 5.0. It's using chainfire's root method for 4.4.2. Which also works for 5.0. That's the method I used to root my 900T a few days ago. You flash it in odin.

Yea i found it thanks for the info though. I've got it rooted and twrp installed. Downloading lolliozop right now. I've been wanting to try that one. I'll get the sim unlock code tomorrow from T mobile and should be up and running then.
Well i ran lolliozop for a few days but couldn't figure out a lot of the color issues with the black on black and white on white etc. Great looking rom but i just couldn't figure it out. I'm back on TMS 3.0 now and love it. I'm running the KT kernel but still haven't figured out what to change or a good setting for it. Anyone else running this kernel and could give a little advice on how to set it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello XDA-Forums!
Lately I've upgraded from Android 4.4.4 to Android 7.0 Nougat.
My old phone used to be rooted, which I was happy with.
Now I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) which is running on Android 7.0
Straight away I tried rooting my device like I did with my old phone, using KingoRoot for PC. But unfortunately, that didn't work. I
also tried using other 3rd party software such as KingRoot but no luck either.
I had a look on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353/page1
So I tried rooting my phone using CF Auto-Root, with Odin v3.10.6, but that didn't work at all and also caused my device to go into a boot-loop and made a message appear. The message was "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing". So I had no choice but to flash to Stock firmware.
My question is, why can I not root my phone properly? Am I doing something wrong?
Hope someone knows the answer to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Straight away I tried rooting my device like I did with my old phone, using KingoRoot for PC. But unfortunately, that didn't work. I
also tried using other 3rd party software such as KingRoot but no luck either.
I had a look on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353/page1
So I tried rooting my phone using CF Auto-Root, with Odin v3.10.6, but that didn't work at all and also caused my device to go into a boot-loop and made a message appear. The message was "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing". So I had no choice but to flash to Stock firmware.
My question is, why can I not root my phone properly? Am I doing something wrong?
Hope someone knows the answer to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Old methods dont work with latest devices, especially with latest security features and bootloader restrictions.
You can still root it using this guide.

Okay, so I had a look at the link you offered me and gave it a good read. But all the links are classed as malicious, so I don't have any access to the right files etc. What can I do?
Thanks

Alright okay. But which ones do I specifically need? Because it says I have to get a ROM from the link they offer but it's blocked.
Sorry if I'm bothering you too much. Just need specific instructions as to what I need to do. Don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks.
