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!

Root de la Vega [SM-N900A KNOX 0x0]

This has been replaced by Universal Root de la Vega!
Question & Answer
"Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?
It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.
Can you help me with the drivers?
No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.
How do I get into download mode?
Method 1: adb reboot download
Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.
How was this root method accomplished?
By hex editing the system image to call a script on the sdcard as root.
Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?
No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!
Will root survive a factory reset?
Yes, it does.
Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?
Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.
Does Xposed Framework work on a rooted AT&T Note 3?
Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.
Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?
Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.
Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?
Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.
How do I open a 7z file?
With 7zip!
Can I do this on OS X/Linux?
No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.
Can I unroot?
Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.
How do I flash stock?
Follow the first 3 steps of the instructions.
I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?
From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.
Email is force closing, how can I fix this?
Unfreeze My Magazine.
Outstanding dude!! Could I ask if you could post the stock image as well in case users wish to return to stock? Also congrats on being the first post in the original development thread!

Thank you DG. I have one question that I can't find an answer to. Does flashing any stock firmware trip Knox? For example you stated up above that flashing back to stock will remove the custom status and flashing back to stock will take care of that. So are you saying that flashing stock will NOT trip the counter?
I'm just really curious.

Is there custom recovery, or is that too come in the future? Will there be a you tube video showing how this root process is achieved? This seems different when I rooted my gnote one. Awesome work op!

which root method for MJ4

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.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

accidentally let it update to 4.3, how do I root my phone now?

I think I might have accidentally let my VZW Note II accidentally update to 4.3. (although I swear that it did it by itself without my permission. or it that not possible? I have denied it for a long time)
Anyway, what are the chances of rooting the phone now? How do I root it?

Saferoot.. search it in the forums.. just a reminder bc A LOT have people been doing this.. Rooting your phone does NOT allow you to install custom recoveries or Roms. .so please don't make that mistake of thinking you can flash something

Rooting can be done using Saferoot and framaroot and others.
But be advised as said previously. . This will not allow you to have a custom recovery like TWRP, Philz or CWM and install custom roms! Unless it has a unlocked bootloader. As of now theres no simple friendly way to do this anymore. Only solution is to have mobiletechvideos downgrade your chip and send it out to them for a service fee. There highly recommended on here for doing this. Hopefully a fix will be released soon as many people are working on this.
Good luck

You got the answers on rooting, I would just add that yes after a period of time of you denying the update it will just do it on its own. In the future root and freeze the update program. In this case SDM 1.0

XDA developer h311sdr0id made a post a while back to help out with rooting the sch-i605 on 4.3. You can find his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608827
I'm still on 4.1.2, so I haven't had to use it yet, but this seems to be the method that a lot of other people are using to root their devices on 4.3.
Thanks to k1mu for posting the root method and h311sdr0id for pointing it out for the Note 2.
Good luck!
I successfully rooted using saferoot. So simple and easy just installed a zip on my computer and ran the bat file and that was it. You can Google it to find it. It took 2 minutes

I think I must have read too many threads and got confused.
After using Saferoot, I was able to root in less than 5 minutes.
The only problem now is that I have no idea why I want or need root at all. Are there any interesting apps that require root?

You can use titanium backup and restore apps. You can also download xposed framework and there are some random mods with that and you can also disable ads with ad blockers. Honestly that's pretty much all I use it for. I'm pretty upset this happened to me. In really hoping that the devs are continuing to work on safe strap for our phones so we can at least install other tw roms

Towel root

Has anybody tried rooting using the newly released towel root on the Tmobile S5? They said you can root alot of models without triggering Knox and should work with any phone with kernel build before june 5th.
Please let us know if it worked for you.

It works. It was confirmed by someone in that thread, but I don't have the link. It shouldn't trip knox either.
Root without tripping Knox? Thought that was impossible as Knox is in the bootloader.. Hmm.. May take a look at this when i get my S5. I don't have any sort of warranty on it as i got it from swappa. But interesting.. Wonder what Sammy is gonna do bout this since they just got a number of devices confirmed for enterprise due to knox.
I can confirm this, I have just rooted my Tmobile S5 and my knox flag says 0x0 I'll post a picture in a second. This method works for us.
Works great! Can't comment about Knox as mines already tripped, but root is super easy as the tethered method as well

Knox would probably be tripped once you install a custom recovery though

Towelroot, a new way of rooting Samsung phones?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 I don't know if this will work for our phones. I don't know if it's safe, but I thought I'd post it anyways. Read about it originally at androidandme.
Edit: People are reporting it works with the sprint note 3 and doesn't trip Knox.
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??

+1 about Knox
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.

Looks very interesting, I may actually try it if it does not trip Knox.
Well, nobody has reported is has so just do it.
It didn't trip knox

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.

Ding Ding! That's the question. I'm going to say no one has flashed a recovery after doing this..

Flashing a recovery and/or a kernel will trip Knox.

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
