Question on rooting, Adfree, rom,and brick? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I'm going to get t-mobile Note 3 on Black friday. I got a few question to ask.
1. What is the easiest way to root note 3 without device? Any problem with Samsung knox issue? Are there anyway way to avoid/not to do for not brikcing, or stuck in boot loop something like that.
2. Is there Adfree app I can install after rooting? I'm coming from Nexus 4 rooted, I can't stand with advertisement everywhere I go.
3. What is the best rom like Note 3 TW with little more features?
4. If I just rooted with my note 3 and installed Adfree, can I get update from Samsung or I have to unrooted it first?

try long back
Thought mine had disappeared too but long holding the back key opens and closes the widget. May just be as simple as that
I just tried to check for updates on my Note 2 and get a pop up that says
Your device has been modified.
Software updates are not available.
The only thing I've done is root the phone so how do I get the multitasking update which my phone didn't ship with?
Ok i have my note2 tmobile us version for 3 days now. 8 don't even see the multitask option. Can anyone point it out? Mine is not rooted yet and the paper manual only has the basic mumbo jumbo, mostly common android stuff.
Thanks
OP: did you root, or did you install a pre-rooted rom?
some older pre-rooted roms don't have the update yet.
the solution is to install a newer rom and use a rooting method that doesn't replace the entire rom.
bangsters: did you try updating?
most notes shipped with an older rom that didn't support it yet.

In order to fix this problem, you need to go into your settings and enable your multiwindow option. After the root, for some reason it undoes that capability.

[Q] Wi-fi Note 8.0 (GT-N5110) - root using CF-Auto-Root OR Toolkit? Any issue?

I just got the Wi-fi version of the Note 8.0 (GT-N5110). I want to root it so I can run rooted apps (Titanium Backup, Helium, etc.) and not for installing custom-ROM.
One important thing I want to ensure is that when Samsung releases the OFFICIAL 4.2.2, I can still update it via Kies. I had the Galaxy Note 1 and I rooted it (forgot what I used to root) and when Samsung released the official Jelly Bean, I cannot upgrade via Kies, had to do Odin.
I see that there are 2 way of doing the root and I am wondering which one have LESS issue?
I. CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
- Created by ChainFire (creator of SuperSU?)
- WILL increase the flash counter (can be fixed with Triangle Away, but not sure if this works with Note 8.0)
II. Galaxy Note 8.0 Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033
- I am still doing research, but it seems some people have issues based on the thread?
i. its work fine. i root my note 8 when it was in 4.1.2 and when upgrade it to 4.2.2
ii. some got problem with it. but not all.
btw both will increase your flash counter and can be fix with triangle away (make sure the latest one)

You have 4.2.2 already? I thought Samsung had not released the official update for the Wi-Fi version.
my device is 3g version
there are 4.2 roms out, so if you are rooted, you can install it..
and use CF autoroot; took about 3 minutes and is super easy..
and dont worry about the flash counter; why do people care about this any ways, it only comes in to play if you return this thing, and if you buy it at places like Best Buy, they usually dont care...
Thank you all!
I used the Toolkit, since it seems easier to revert to stock if I messed up.

[Q] International Note 2 Rooting Queries

Hi ,
I want to root my Note 2 (GT-7100) to get rid of all the Samsung crap but I don't want to completely uninstall Touch Wiz. But after rooting I won't get any OTA updates from Samsung which I don't want to happen, If I reset the binary counter to 0 using triangle away would it take updates?
Please reply.

[Q] OTA update with a rooted NON custom rom?

Hi everyone,
I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a few months back with ODIN I believe. I have had superuser access and can wirelessly tether, increase volume, remove camera click etc.... Love it, all this on Android 4.1. I never flashed any custom rom, just rooted.
Now 4.3 is being pushed to my phone, is it safe to install it? what happen if I do, do I lose root, brick the phone etc? Or, does everything stay the same but now I have 4.3 and not 4.1
As a backup I have a Sprint Note 3 not even opened just in case things go wrong. I know volume is low on Note 3 so in advance any hacks for note 3?
But for now, focus s on the OTA for Sprint Galaxy note 2 and any adverse side effects of accepting the OTA
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
1. It is not safe to install official OTA to your rooted 4.1(only by Kies).
2. You will lose root or you will stay in bootloop.
3. Usually we flash custom rom using twrp(cwm) or ODIN.
Thank you!

[Q] Galaxy tab 3 warranty

Hi,
I've pretty much used a S4 before this, recently got a free Tab 3.70 and it was so slow that i need to change the firmware and root it.
I'm wondering or it seems to be there is no Knox for the Galaxy Tab 3.7.0? (T210 variant). So it means my warranty won't be void right? But I've also read that the Triangle Away does not support the Tab 3, does this mean that if i root/load a custom rom and kernel, I won't be able to flash away the counter to get warranty still?
Finally, for S4, some important things to note were the CSC/PDA/Firmware of your device, but without a Phone dialer, how does one go about doing this and is it necessary to take these details down for the Tab in order to go back to its original state?
I have recently bought a Tab 3 8" and would also like to know will i be able to keep my warranty if i root it. I am currently at 4.2.2 and i'm not interested in flashing another ROM, just gaining root. Is there a completely reversable way to do this?
Same question for P5220 (Tab 3 10.1 Wifi+LTE)
Warranty will be void if your device is rooted, and yes there is a way you can get it back restored unrooted. Just go to your device size thread and find the right one. Hope this helps.
