I recently bought a new note 3 and was using h20 before so I went and got a sim card for it and could call and text but not get data(it won't save any apn settings), so I looked on some forums and tried re activating it off of someone's suggestion and now it's just stuck in activation mode, so I went to a cell phone store and was told that they did a partial root with a sim unlock and my only option was to flash or I could take the chance and try to re root the phone but if I don't use the same system that was used to do the partial root I could crash the system. OK so I don't know a lot about this stuff I can root a phone if I find good enough information but I've never flashed a phone before so my question is when I re activated the phone did it take away the partial root? The only thing that's weird is I can't save any apn settings so that made me assume it was flashed but I don't know a lot about this stuff,what should I do. ............

First I have to ask, are you on Sprint or are you a different carrier ? The sim card is for international use, so are you trying to use it here in the states ? Before you root you need to get to a stock unrooted activated OS, to flash one here is a link to help with that http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 . As for being stuck in activation you might try removing the sim card and try to activate without it. Have you tried the Galaxy Tools app here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 with this app you can change APN's and restore HFA activation mode. Also sometimes activation takes a while depending on cell site traffic.

the phone came without a sim card so I just bought a h20 sim but gsm doesn'twork on this phone so I'll probably have to use page plus
, is there a way to root my phone without using a computer? My laptop was broken last week, so it won't crash the system if I root it? The guy at the cell phone store said that it's possible I could crash the system since there was a partial
root done before. I didn't see any su files on my phone but I can't see all my files. I definitely need to root this phone, the activation still doesn't work with the sim out and I am just trying to use page plus, h20 ect in the states,how can I get a stock activated OS or get mine activated thank you for your help.

Yes there is a couple of ways. First what OS are you running ? Is it stock KitKat NAB 4.3, NC5 4.4.2 or NH& 4.4.4 ? Is the device still under warranty, KNOX warranty 0x0 (this can be found by putting the device in download mode, completely power down the device. Press and hold the power button, menu button, and volume DOWN button at the same time a screen will come up then press the volume UP button. Read the KNOX warranty, to get out of download mode press and hold the power button till the device reboots then let go.)
First if you are on NAB or NC5 you can use Towel root WITHOUT tripping KNOX here is the link http://towelroot.org/ there is a PC download and a install video. If you are on NH7 4.4.4 then only CF-auto root will work here is the link http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and it WILL trip KNOX warranty 0x1 when you root your phone. If your KNOX warranty is tripped 0x1 ( like mine ) then is doesn't matter just use CF-auto root it works for any version of android.
If your KNOX warranty is NOT tripped 0x0, and you are running NAB OR NC5. If your phone has internet access you can download Towel root or and install. To you use a laptop, download Towel root to PC desktop, then just connect the device to the laptop via your charging cable to a USB port. A box will come up click on open to view files and then click on sd card. Copy and paste the Towel root file the sd card, then unplug the phone. Now use a root type file explorer like ES file explorer or Root explorer go to sd card then find the towel root file click on it and install. Any attempt to root NH7 4.4.4 will trip KNOX ( with the exception of rooting NH7 with a NC5 kernel and then reinstall an NH7 kernel )
Now if your Knox warranty is tripped 0x1, then it doesn't matter just download CF-auto root. There is a couple of ways, first you can use CF-autroot in place of Towel root in the above method. OR with a laptop you odin flash the .tar file in the CF-auto root zip above. Here is a link to guide you through using odin to flash to device http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!

I'm running 4.4.4 nh7, I'm not worried about tripping Knox cause it's a used phone and not under warranty, thank you for the CF-autoroot link, I have just a couple newbie questions, I downloaded the CF-ROOT and put it in download mode but it just kept saying downloading and didn't do anything I pressed and held the power+home+volume down but if i hold the power+home+volume up it'll take me to another screen were i do abd updates and stuff like that so what am i doing wrong do i have tohave a sd card cause i don'thaveone in the phone but I'm going to go get one now. I can use a friend's computer if need be. I don't know a lot about flashing I just know that's the term they use when you want to unlock your phone to a different carrier. I originally wanted to use H2O since I already have the plan ect but my next choice would be page plus but I've never done a flash before so I'm new to the whole idea but I have common sense so I can manage with the right advice, so after I do the CL-root what's the next step to get it setup on H2O or Pageplus? I already downloaded a lot of apps for after the root including the Samsungtool that I found on here which is a awesome app, and again I really appreciate all the help and advice.

OK to get to download mode, completely power down the phone. If the device is on press and hold the power button when a box comes up click power off the phone then wait till it shuts down completely a small vibration is usually the last thing that happens. Now ( push the power + menu + volume down buttons at he same time ). A screen will come up with a yellow triangle on it, next push only the volume up button. The download screen should come up it looks like this.
Next you should have already downloaded the CF-auto root, and the odin files on your PC desktop. Right click the odin zip and extract it to your desktop. Click on the extracted odin file it should have three files in it right click on the top file and click run as administrator odin should open up. Now connect your phone to your PC via the USB charging cable, a box in the upper left hand corner of odin will light up and say COM: doesn't matter what color it is just shows a connection was made. Next there is a button on the right that says PL or PDA click on it a new box will open, click on desktop, then click on the CF-auto file it will open, then click on the .tar file then click open, it should move to the box to the right of PDA button. Ok your all set don't touch anything else just click start. It will take a minute or two then odin will say pass above the COM: box. Now wait a minute, if the device doesn't reboot by it's self then pull the cable and push and hold the power button once it boots up go to the app drawer and look for the SuperSu.

okay I got the phone rooted completely and I've been trying to use the galaxytools app to activate the phone but it's not wanting to activate,I even put in the different sales code that was explained in the "online instructions" and that didn't work, what's the next step to get it to work on page plus? Or can I change the system from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 so I can get it activated?

You can go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. Now that you have a little experience flashing go to my thread and just substitute and flash NC5 4.4.2 with odin here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now once you flash NC5 you will back to stock so you will have to root again, but that's half the fun right !!!

Yes "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" is 4.4.2 . Just download file and then extract it to your desktop that will change it from a zip file to a .tar file and then it will be ready to flash with odin.
N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5 is a computer generated numeric representation of the "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" file. The md5 file is only a few KB's in size, it is used the check the .tar.zip file if there is a problem. The 4.4.2 NC5 .tar.zip should be about 1.42GB to 1.5GB in size .

Hello, I was attempting to flash Clockwork Mod on my G5, whilst doing it Odin crashed and now my phone is messed up.
It will turn on but a PC-Triangle with a ! in the middle-Phone, it will go into Download Mode but Odin doesn't recognise it so i can't re-flash it, any ideas?
Please help, this is urgent.
The phone itself is on stock, it turns on but displays the error i have described above, it will go into download mode but Odin doesn't recognsie it.
Thanks, Curtis.

No need to worry about it.
Uninstall the drivers associated with the phone. Are you using Windows?
For XP: Go to start > Control Panel > System > Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Find the driver for the phone. I remember it has a yellow icon, and the drivers name is a mix of capital letters
It's probably similar for Windows 7, but i wouldn't know.
Uninstall the driver associated with the phone, then reinstall by plugging your phone into the computer in download mode. It would help to uninstall and reinstall Odin as well, just in case.
If you get Odin to work, just work away like you would.
Thanks for your reply, i have uninstalled the drivers, but when i plugged my phone back in, the drivers are not being installed and i can not find them on the internet. Any ideas?
I know how i messed up, i completely forgot to root my phone before i started to flash, any ideas on how i can just get my phone back to its normal working everyday self?
Will i just need to get the device recognised by Odin then insert the Ops file and the I5500.tar file and flash it back to stock?
edit- managed to get drivers installed, now how do i fix my phone? Just flash the .OPS and the stock I5500.tar file?

I think it'll fail again if your phone isn't rooted. You can't get rid of the Computer-Caution-Phone image without succesfully using Odin.
You could try to flash the .tar and .ops file again. I can't see it working though unfortunately.
Any ideas then? Is there a way to root my phone via Odin or anything?

I've never heard of rooting your phone through the download mode or through Odin.
Maybe there's a file you can put on your phone through Odin which doesn't require root? I'll take a look around for you.
Thank you so much, i appreciate it, I'm 16, can't really live without a phone especially with college parties coming up in the next few days aha, I knew i shouldn't of risked around with flashing again!

Just thinking that Odin is a program which requires root so there won't be any file you can transfer when unrooted. I had a quick glance over at the Odin thread, and the first step is that you have to root your phone.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can think of which might help. Maybe if somebody with a bit more knowledge/expeerience sees this thread, they might help.
Can Odin detect your phone?
Ah man, thanks anyway, yes Odin detects my phone, I'm trying to use SuperOneClick Root on my PC- Do you know any other Root software that works on PC?

I don't know of any others, but Superoneclick works fine for the Galaxy 5. Like I said, I've never heard of using it during download mode so just be careful with that.
If Odin detects your phone, have you tried just closing Odin and plugging out the USB safely?
Can't use Superoneclick as my phone isn't in USB Debugging and i obviously can't change that aha I have just tried that, no luck with the closing Odin and unplugging it, should i try installing CWM again or is that a bad idea?

It's a bad idea because it just won't work. Odin will crash again.
I don't know what to do I'm afraid.
Looks like my phone is shagged due to my own stupidity, I forgot to root it because my phone was previously rooted and it went back for repairs, then I completely forgot i didnt install Root access -.-
Do you think i can recover my phone or is it well and truly gone?
Well it's not like your phone is bricked or anything. It's just broken a connection to Odin and it won't boot until it's completed.
You could always return it for repairs again. Your warranty might be broken though.
If I happen to come across a DIY fix then I'll post it here.
Thanks for your help mate, i've decided to just send my phone back for repairs, buy a new phone (Probably a Blackberry for BBM and stuff with all my mates), and sell my phone once i get it back.I have gave up on Samsung mobiles.
Thank you.
Did you send your phone alredy? Uncompress the firmware.tar file and unselect "one package in Odin" . On the boot in odin select the boot file of the .tar and run odin. Maybe that will help

Dude have u tryd using samsung kies it might detect it n let u do an emergancy firmware recovery or maybe (a verry unlikely maybe but still a maybe) it will detect the problem and provide u a solution hope this helps.

Hi, had the very same issue as you. Odin crashed just few sec after start. What I did ; uninstalled everything (Odin & files comes with it, KIES). Then restart PC, go to Samsung.com and download latest KIES, when downloaded go to Tools and check for updates. Accept/run them, when done restart PC. Now, read the steps bellow, and see the attached picture.
1. Extract Odin v4.28 and Ops File.zip I5500XXXX.rar
2. Open Odin v4.28,
- Select OPS tab: EUROPA_v1.0.ops
- Make sure Auto Reboot & Protect OPS selected in Option tab
- get this I5500XFJPQ from samfirware.com ( for some strange reason only this package worked!), download, and unzipp to folder called GT-I5500. In to this folder place Odin and ops as well.
- Make sure One Package selected in Option tab
3. Turn off phone, remove battery for 5second, put it back
4. Hold "Volume Down, Center button & Power button" in the same time to enter Download Mode (yellow triangle)
5. Connect to PC with USB cable
6. When the data line and the phone connection is successful, com port shows yellow in Odin
7. Press Start on Odin
8. Waitin & Pray!
9. PASS, its done!
*Hard reset after flashing *2767*3855#
*Check ur Phone Info *#*#1234#*#*
Note: my i5500 was rooted, so if was yours then ok. When pressing buttons you must see an yellow triangle! If you don't see it don't try connect. Remove battery for 3-5 minutes and try again...
Thanks for the replies, I've got my 'broken' phone in its box on my wardrobe, Carphone Warehouse have ordered me a brand new G5 to replace mine, I should get that sometime next week, but I'm buying a HTC Wildfire S pretty soon anyway!
Thanks for your help, I'd rather keep my broken phone well, broke aha.
Have you tried flashing twrp recovery then using cf-autoroot?
Im running stock Gingerbread, never been rooted.
What I am looking for is a simple one click method to root the phone for a few minutes so I can make a few tweaks and then unroot it.
Yes, Im aware that I can use the Odin method to root without tripping the flash counter, make my tweaks, and then use another Odin package to unroot it, however, there are a few problems with this, in order to keep this brief, I dont want to go into all the details but suffice it to say, I dont want root constantly enabled, I just want to enable it briefly and I dont want to install CWM so I can reset the flash counter and then (if its even possible) have to re-install the 3e recovery menu EVERY time I need root for something briefly.
Im looking for something along the lines of Super One Click (shortfuse.org) or UnlockRoot (www.unlockroot.com) where I can hit root, the phone reboots, I do what I need to do, hit unroot and the phone reboots unrooted. Both of these tools, needless to say, do NOT work (even tho they are listed as supported devices). Remember also, this is the ATT Note SGH-I717 so when looking thru the device lists supported by other software, make sure to look for the right Note .
i don't think those methods exist like they did with say the Samsung infuse. I used the Odin way, just as easy as super one click...but you mentioned you didn't want to use it so I'm not sure what you can do. Why not just stay rooted? And there is a flash counter reset just so you know

I used odin super fast and easy

Im well aware of how easy the pre-rooted kernel is to flash via Odin, its the unrooting process that is a pain.
I dont want to stay rooted and I dont want to use Odin, the process of reverting back to unrooted is too much of a pain in the ass.
My guess is that there is no easy one click process or it would have been posted already.
Its a shame, one of the huge benefits with Android was how easy it was to gain root to tweak OS level things and then revert back to an unrooted state.
I used SuperOneClick without any issues whatsoever? What, is it not supposed to work or something?

Erm, ok, Id love to know how you did...
First, what phone do you have (carrier). I am using the ATT Note.
If we are on the same page there, what settings do I need to enable on the phone and/or SuperOneClick?
On my phone, I enabled USB Debugging, in SuperOneClick, I left everything default, I click the Root button and on step 7 a bunch of gobbly gook appears (there is no log created so I cant just copy and paste some of the text) and it just stops. I left it sitting for a few minutes and nothing happened to either the phone or SuperOneClick.

First, what phone do you have (carrier). I am using the ATT Note.
If we are on the same page there, what settings do I need to enable on the phone and/or SuperOneClick?
On my phone, I enabled USB Debugging, in SuperOneClick, I left everything default, I click the Root button and on step 7 a bunch of gobbly gook appears (there is no log created so I cant just copy and paste some of the text) and it just stops. I left it sitting for a few minutes and nothing happened to either the phone or SuperOneClick.

I have two Notes. The N7000 I rooted using SoC on GB, doing exactly what you've done. The i717 was exactly the same. USB debugging enabled, plugged in and USB not mounted. MY computer is picky about USB ports so I use the same port and cable for every phone.
Grab the latest SoC (my sig has a link) and extract. Install Kies to get the USB drivers, then uninstall Kies and leave the drivers installed. Plug in the phone and let it install. Once it's done, run SoC (not as an administrator), select 'auto' for the exploit and click 'root'.
You'll get the usual 'found a gingerbread', 'sending 149 zerglings' etc. Then it tells you the 'overseer found a path' and after a few more steps reboots with root. Took me all of about 40 seconds.
I use AT&T phones unlocked in Australia, so we are using the same handset. This method doesn't work for ICS, you'll need to flash SU with CWM for that.
Let me know if I can help any more
Yea, unfortunately, it doesnt work for me.
I have the Samsung drivers installed (I know because when I plug in my phone under device manager, it shows my phone as correctly installed and I get a pop up from windows asking me whether I want to open a folder to browse the phones' contents - and Kies sees the phone).
I even tried uninstalling Kies but keeping the driver installed (Windows still asks me whether I want to browse the phone contents).
I also tried removing the sd card, altho this should not affect the process.
When I run SOC, I maximize the window so I can read the text and basically, when it gets to step 7, it sends 149 zerglings, then it waits 40 seconds, then it sends 189 zerglings, waits 40 seconds, then it says that it doesnt have write permissions and asks me whether I have root or not (not in a dialog box but in the text on the right hand side of the screen - I can only assume that it is initially trying to get a shell/temporary root so that it can do what it needs to for a permanent root), then it tries to push some files to the phone and then just completely stops. I let it sit for Id say 10 minutes with no progress.
The only thing that maybe is creating a problem is that the phone seems to be automounting, when I plug in the storage, it doesnt ask me what I want to do, it just mounts the device. I poked around in the settings and couldnt find any setting to disable this but Im not 100% sure this is a problem as the Captivate did the same, when you enabled USB debugging, it would automount the device.
Oh, and when I plug in the USB cable, the notifications bar shows 'MTP Initializing' and a few seconds later, 'MTP Mode'.
And Im using Super One Click version 2.3.3

Im running stock Gingerbread, never been rooted.
What I am looking for is a simple one click method to root the phone for a few minutes so I can make a few tweaks and then unroot it.
Yes, Im aware that I can use the Odin method to root without tripping the flash counter, make my tweaks, and then use another Odin package to unroot it, however, there are a few problems with this, in order to keep this brief, I dont want to go into all the details but suffice it to say, I dont want root constantly enabled, I just want to enable it briefly and I dont want to install CWM so I can reset the flash counter and then (if its even possible) have to re-install the 3e recovery menu EVERY time I need root for something briefly.
Im looking for something along the lines of Super One Click (shortfuse.org) or UnlockRoot (www.unlockroot.com) where I can hit root, the phone reboots, I do what I need to do, hit unroot and the phone reboots unrooted. Both of these tools, needless to say, do NOT work (even tho they are listed as supported devices). Remember also, this is the ATT Note SGH-I717 so when looking thru the device lists supported by other software, make sure to look for the right Note .

Did you ever get a working solution to your question? I am in the same position: wanting to temporarily root my phone, do my tweaks and then re-root it so that I can run the POS enterprise mail application that has a policy to check for "root".
I would think that this should be much easier than it seems, but perhaps not
Thanks,
aus
I havent found any solutions yet...
SuperOneClick did not work for me either. I have used it on 3 other phones with no issue so I dunno.
I recently got my new Verizon Galaxy S4 and decided to play around with it. I got it rooted fine and got a few apps on there (like Titanium backup) and decided that, since I would eventually want to play around with ROMs, I would want to unlock the phone.
I looked around and found there were some options for me, the one I chose being the "all in one" option that roots, unlocks and installs a custom recovery mode for you. I went through this process and now get nothing but the Downloader Mode (could not do normal boot). Even if I pop out the battery and try to reboot it, I get this screen.
I later found that apparently the ME7 model currently will not accept attempts to unlock the phone and install a custom ROM or recovery menu. How do I fix this? I tried using Odin, but it doesn't recognize the phone as being connected. I am currently trying other methods like Kies, to see if there is any way to at least to an emergency recovery and get it back to normal.
EDIT: Ran into the same issue with Kies as I did with Odin, it does not see anything connected to the computer.
Do you have the correct drivers installed? Does adb recognize the device? You're in Odin mode when you try to use Odin to push something? I believe with ME7 you can Odin back to the official stuff.

You need to make sure you have the drivers for the phone and have a solid USB connection (I prefer the rear of a tower)

I ended up getting it to work. I had to go here:
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-013541.htm
and get files to get the computer to recognize the device. Even afterwards, Keis had no idea what was going on, and Odin saw it and was able to install a stock firmware I downloaded earlier, saving the phone.
For now I will be satisfied with just root access and will wait for ROM capabilities.
I hate to hijack a thread but I'm stuck here. My GS 4 (Vzw) was supposedly successfully rooted using TWRP, but now I have no way to enter any sort of recovery. The package I downloaded for the root does not have an Odin version to run. I've been getting the endless prompts to install the 4.3 update but there is no way to do this on my phone. I get the same "Could not do normal boot. Odin mode. Write protection enabled" message with the downloading screen. I try to boot into recovery via CWM or Goomanager but it always goes to the same screen. I can't make any backups or restore now either or I would just do a factory reset. Any ideas? I'm on VRUAME7.
Um.... there's no recovery available with ME7.... are you on the MDK bootloader?

I don't think so but how would I confirm? I'm just trying to get the 4.3 update installed but at every attempt it goes into Odin Mode and gets stuck.

You're said that you're on ME7 - what you need to do is to flash the "No wipe" ME7 ROM onto your phone. It's in the Development forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
You've got to update to MI1 before you can install the 4.3 update (MJ7).
ONLY flash files intended for whatever release you're running. You can't mix and match, can't go backwards, and can't skip updates.
Theres also an ml1 factory image in the dev section.

Hi! Sorry to kind of "butt in" on your thread, but I'm somewhat of a noob and have the same exact problem as you. If you don't mind, can you explain what you downloaded from Intel and what you did afterwards that fixed your problem? I'd really appreciate it, since my phone's been dead to me for more than a week now....

On that page I linked to, look for this:
Solution:
Download and run the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility so Windows* properly recognizes the SMBus controller.
Get the proper driver download according to your OS, then install it. This should allow Odin to see the phone for you to install a clean copy of the stock ROM onto the phone.
If you want more details I am sorry to say I cannot provide them. When things involve me fixing my own technology, it is a lot of rapid-fire troubleshooting and I just go with what sticks without really memorizing what I did (so if I run into this issue again, I have to re-research).

ur welcome
hai i am stuck at download mode with message as could not normal boot how to fix it
Updating SuperSU app as suggested through CWM by clicking link on the app. Phone rebooted and stuck at "Samsung". Cannot get into recovery (Power and Vol */- ). Can get into Download to but my SG2 hasn't been able to connect to a PC for a long long time (yeah, switched ports, batteries, cables, and PC's). Doesn't appear that phone wants to charge either. Usually when turned off during charging the battery is partially green and below the battery the dots light up. Now when off and charging battery is gray and rotation swirl doesn't swirl....frozen too. Phone was working without any problems prior to updating the binary (other than not connecting to PC).
Any suggestion appreciated.
SG2 SHH-I777
Rooted with Framaroot
SHOstock3
The remedy is to flash stock and start over. If you have a bad usb port in the phone, then you probably need to replace that and get usb working so you can flash from Odin. Or send it to a reliable repair shop like Mobile Tech Videos.
I have read a few posts that associate Framaroot and loosing PC connection/usb mass storage on the I77. Any insight on that?

I havn't seen anything about that. Have you read anything about how to fix it? Is this issue supposed to affect hardware or firmware?
Anyway, this should have nothing to do with whether Odin will see your phone. Have you tried to enter download mode with Odin open on the desktop? You need to have "USB driver for Samsung Phones" installed on the pc in order for Odin to recognize the phone when you enter Download mode.
The Framaroot developer responds to this question. I don't understand the inference but maybe you can simplify it for me.

You have brought up the changes in firmware since 4.0 to system property /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config. I needed to fix the string but didn't know how. Was on to do list.....procrastination killed my phone.....bummer.

And I can't find the other thread with the post about loosing usb with Framaroot but you gave a thumbs up in this thread (not the specific post). The topic was Framaroot and you were recommending using the apk.
Also, another I777 had the same problem (bootloop) with the SU update( #4327)

I'd suggest you flash back to the latest stock, ucmd8, unless you are reluctant to use framaroot. Otherwise you could use the stock UCLL6, 4.0.4 plus root package. See the links in my signature. I assume you want something rooted so you can use Mobile Odin to install a custom kernel with CWM recovery, and then flash the firmware of your choice.
I looked at those links, but I didn't find the developer's response. Not enough information to respond to, but interesting to know.
As far as /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config, that is a text file. As long as you have root access, you just open it in a text editor and change the text string, then save the file and reboot.
so i recently acquired a tracfone branded mega. i popped it open and saw i527 marking on the MB and DB so i though it was just a rebranded att mega but its not. i tried rooting with kingo and no go, it just fails every time. Has anyone dealt with this phone as of yet? there is no info off of google or anywhere. the phone is a SM-S780L
any help would be useful.
You need to enable dev mode and then usb debugging

Sounds like a Korean model to me and all the info I seen on this is that it is not launched yet..could you take some pics of this phone as rooting it could be harder to do...unless you try the recoveries from @Silesh.Nair post in his signature as you can use odin and see if it will work that way.

Check this link here and go into the recoveries folder and choose which recovery you want to use and get the .tar file of the recovery you choose and flash that .tar file with odin..theae are from @Silesh.Nair stuff.
See how those recoveries will work for you to root the device.
Oh and by the looks of your pics you should not have knox..butt the kernel it shows it might have knox though as it looks the same as mine..as a way to check that is go into the download mode by having phone off and hold the power and vol-down button until the phone vibrates and release and when the warning screen appears push the vol-up button and you should now be in the download mode and see if there are two lines that have one line that says knox kernel and other line says knox warranty appear..if not then knox is not present in your phone.
If the above key combo does not work include pressing the home key with the other two at the same time.
i uploaded a pic of my download screen to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vobhp9lps2yw3ep/AADpr-LjrhZSqubYNGhND7oOa , and there is know kernel and warranty lines.
so if i install one of the recoveries and it doesnt work, could i be screwed since there arnt any tar files of this phones original recovery, right?
also, how could i pull the complete firmware/kernal/tar from this phone to upload and share it.

hi, did u ever get to unlock the phone ?
No i have not been able to unlock. I ordered a unlock code and still it will not accept it. Im guessing it could be cdma like sprint with a sim port. Its weird since it has att model marking on the motherboard.
