Hey everyone,
I have a 6 day old Sprint Note 3 and have been readin a ton to the point where Im confused. I want to root it on the stock rom like my SGII and keep Knox at zero. It seems there are 3 methods.
1)CF-Auto-root... but thinks it trips Knox
2)Root De La Vega... Can't find AP & CSC I need (
N900PVPUBMJ4 / N900PSPTBMJ4)
From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479952
3) Kingo root 1.1.2 ...That whole IMEI thing though
can someone nudge me in the right direction?
Seems to me you've pretty much reviewed all of the options available to us..I know it's not the answer you're looking for but you can always do like some of us and just hold off until there's a little more development for our device. Trust me, the first thing I knock out is getting root, being add-free and using titanium backup.

Yeah I honestly lied to myself that root would not bother me. The bloatware on this thing is crazy. Im currently searching for tethering options. Im sure root will be needed for that, any info/methods on tethering?
Give this a shot, but you're gonna need root to to edit a few things with a root explorer.

Root De La Vega, Its complicated but works perfectly, Stock MI5 Vega MI5 and Wanam then OTA mj4 But READ the instructions 8 times and find a good guidance site for it.
Can MJ4 be downgraded to MI5? Vaguely rememeber reading a thread about it. Kinda hating I let the MJ4 OTA happen the day I got the phone now
Last I knew, no it can't.

Hi all,
I recently got the S4 on Verizon at Best Buy as part of a Black Friday deal. On my way home, it downloaded the update to Android 4.3 (build VRUEMJ7). Not seeing that, I noticed it had downloaded new software, so I chose to update it. >.< I was hoping to root the phone so I could get rid of all the Verizon bloatware ASAP. I'm unaware if there's a legitimate root for this build currently available, so I'm wondering if there's a way I can reinstall 4.2.2 or flash the stock firmware even though my phone isn't rooted.
Many thanks,
Sam
I would like to know the same just spent all night trying to use odin to no avail but did get my phone un bricked using Kies but still on 4.3

It's been stated many,many,many times. Once you take an update, there is NO way to go back. With 4.3 your only option is root with vRoot (and maybe Kingo). No custom recovery, no Safestrap and no ROMs.

Thanks,
I came from Galaxy Nexus. What a Pain to get out of a softbrick. Overall happy with the phone it gets me through a day instead of 4 to 6 hrs.. Have root and tether mod pretty much all I need. I did do a lot of searching but since I just got the phone I have missed allot of the buried posts about going backwards did finally see some though. I'd rather have 4.3 anyway for working bluetooth song tagging unless that worked on this phone on 4.2.2.
Only reason I wanted to go back was to use the ota root method instead of vroot.
I rooted my stock s4 using saferoot then flashed a kitkat 4.4.2 rom. When the new rom booted up i had lost root. I have since maxed out my binary counter trying to get back to 4.3 mk2 i think? which is what my phone came with. Now im stuck with this rom i dont want, i cant seem to root it using saferoot or motochopper. All this and im getting the yellow triangle which i cant use triangle away on because i dont have root. I used odin to flash the roms, ive tried different ones that were 4.3 but odin keeps failing i think because of my binary counter. Is there a way to reset the counter without root??

There aren't any 4.4 roms that you can flash outside of a leaked one and you can only do that doing specific steps unless you had a mdk phone or a dev phone....not sure what you did bit sounds like you have messed up. .

My phone works fine now. here is my kernel and build info now, on the 4.4.2
Kernel: 3.4.0 [email protected]#1 tue mar 11 20:52:21 KST 2014
Build # KOT 49H.I545VRUFNC2
What i did was simply rooted using saferoot, then i used odin 3.07 to flash a kitkat rom for sch I545. Rebooted and when it came on I noticed i didnt have root access so i wanted to go back to stock. I downloaded a stock 4.3 and odin would fail at the FAIL AUTH part, thus bricking my phone. I then reflashed the 4.4.2 rom and it installed. Ive tried different 4.3 roms, even with a PIT file and it still fails. Like i said it works fine, i would just like to go back to stock 4.3. I think my main problem is that I cant seem to get rooted again and i dont know why. Thanks for helping a n00b!

Hey we weren't trying to be jerks.. Just give as many details as you can which led you To here and I'm sure one of us can help.
There's just a lot of people who come on here daily that if they read up a little more they wouldn't be in a tight spot.
If your phone is working fine on the NC2 build but you just rather MK2... then the first link I gave you is a method to downgrade I believe. Now I haven't done it myself but looking at it it's not for the faint of heart and you need to be good with Odin. Maybe start there and ask if in your situation it's even possible to do that .. I'm not 100% as to the steps needed

As I said...if you had read beforehand you would have know you can't fully revert to 4.3 after flashing that 4.4 image in odin
Update! 4.3 and rooted
I got some help and then i went HERE and now im back on 4.3 with a build of vruemk2. Im also rooted so i made progress. However according the the thread i followed, you have to use some bypasslkm file to get WIFI to work. WTF? i have no idea what im doing. I tried to follow the directions given, by using terminal emulator but i cant figure it out. I cant even find the data/local/tmp folder it says to put the bypasslkm into. Thats where im at now, but something has to be done because i NEED WIFI.

I wasn't sure if Surges downgrade method would work here... But I'm assuming since this user seems to have simply Odin the NC2 on his phone rather than the update to NC2 and have root method... That he's SOL for now.

Surges method is meant to fix his situation I believe... But there are as always things that cannot be overwritten...he will be able to switch back to 4.3 but certain things from 4.4 are permanent and I think have caused some issues for those who reverted.

So far so good
I gave the towel apk a try and I must say an excellent and easy root . I went from slim rom back to nc5 stock uprooted . Down loaded root checker pro then from the stock browser I downloaded the apk file . No problems with my reinstall of twrp. No problems flashing a new rom . Will say that busy box needs to be reinstalled but having no problems at all :good:

Did it reset your Knox counter when you rooted with towelroot? If so, did the counter stay at 0x0 after you reinstalled TWRP? I'm already rooted and using TWRP so the only advantage to me would be to clear that Knox counter.
Well I have never been concerned with knox so I didn't notice an actual 0x0 but I will say all Samsung apps updated. Also I had no warnings on boot . Until flashing a kernel . Unless I've been told wrong that has little to do with my equipment replacement warranty so my thing with knox is solved with a??

I could be wrong, but this is only a root method that does not trip knox. It is not meant to reset knox. It is being marketed as a root method.

Am I wrong in thinking that rooting isn't what trips KNOX, it's the installing of a custom recovery? I am very excited that this easy root is available and it wont trip KNOX but wont I need a custom recovery in order to flash a custom ROM or anything for that matter. I just want to figure this out before rooting my device.

So if anyone has a link to tell me otherwise i would love to know why Knox is such a concern . i got my note a few weeks after the release and tripped my knox asap .1. if your in contract you most likely have a warranty so bust the sucker into bits and learn a lesson . No updates from sprint or samsung the problem so what !!! i have yet to see an ota compare to the custom roms i run and eventually we will get the update/feature . The absolute only down side i see at this point is most likely the replacement note3 wont have the snapdragon or will it ? sprint usually sends you a refurb . I really ask this honestly I have been flashing for 4 years and barely could chicken peck the keys on my pc when i started . my day to day job is as a master plumber so i never touch computers , but 4 years later and going through an evo,epic 4g touch / briefly a s3 AND A NOTE 3 ON SPRINT NO LESS . I HAVE YET TO SCREW UP MY SAMSUNGS SO BAD THEY TRUELY HARD BRICKED. Im a risk taker I used towel 10 min after i first heard of it . My advice to a total noob is if you think you bricked but it comes on at all its not a brick give it 2 or three days and do your home work most likely a fix will be or is available . If its as sammy from sprint rwilco12 repository is a life saver . Please let me know what IS the trip in tripping knox if any one can and happy flashing. :good: :laugh: took me all them years to finally post in the forums lmao
My att note 3 is giving me too much trouble with gps. I'm giving up on it. Thinking about getting the tmobile s5 instead of att for the unlocked bootloader. I'm just trying to find myself root and recovery guides but I don't see them .. Please point me in the right direction

I understand how the method works. It's like they can't root the latest kernel or something so revert back for root and come back. My point is if your final goal isn't just a rooted stock phone, there is almost no point in this ? Because since the phone doesn't have a looked bootloader you can just odin a recovery and flash a rom without rooting first

I just have insurance if it gets stolen or I drop it in water. Or should I wait until they find a root method without triggering Samsung knots.

Fyi...... @dgutierrez04 was the guy that pulled the OC1 ota update for me when no one else could due to the two part 5.0 update. He also took one for the team during testing of the OC1, Stock Rooted ROM so many of you enjoy today by updating his bootloader to OC1.
I assume he has no backup phone.
That said, it seems a lot of people have to use Kies... as Odin reports fails...
I did not root my I545 verizon so now I have lollipop oc1. My question is should I not take the next upgrade for lollipop or at this point does it make a difference as far as getting root?
Thoughts are more than welcome
