Do not root yet. There is some problems with KNOX security we need to pass first. I did root with CF-auto, but seems like some people have problem

Thanks. Did not know Knox was in the S3 version but was in S4 version to be in U.S. Will hold off on rooting until someone lets me know it is Safe with CF-auto.

[Q] Note 10.1 2014 firmware update in Canada?

My first post here and my first Android device.
Bought a Note 10. 1 2014 last week at Future Shop with firmware version MJ4. Heard that MK1 is the latest update but I could not find where its available. Tried Software Update in Setting function but it said my firmware is the most current. Is MK1 update coming to Canada soon?
I also bought mine from future shop almost 2 weeks ago and I'm running mj4 and it is telling me no updates available

I just flashed the ones posted via Odin..probably the fastest way to get them right now because Samsung Canada is useless.

Is the procedure explained somewhere and does it need root? Can I for example flash whatever 3rd firmware is available atm into my North European Note?
I'm totally fed up with waiting for something that is ready already and imo should have been there from the start... My tablet's major use is semi public and at the moment it's useleff for that.

Did the flashing trip the KNOX counter? Did it remain with normal status in the system info?
I'm in Canada too and also wondering why we are not getting the update. I asked in the Facebook page of Samsung Canada and as usual they don't have any information: "We don't have information about upcoming updates as of now, but when we do, we will let you know. Thank you"
I flashed mk1. The status is official. I don't think it tricks knox bit.

Where did you find a "Canadian" version of the update? I looked on Sammobile.com and did not see one listed for CAN or USA. Thoughts?
Thank you kindly in advance,

There is no "Canadian" version. Just use the region XAR. I downloaded from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P600. I flashed with Odin 3.09. This was done before rooting. After flashing, the status still showed official.
As for root?

Thanks for getting back to me!!
So I Imagine you rooted after this flash using CF-AUTO root and now you have knox tripped? Please advise. This knox stuff is really getting on my nerves :|

Yes. I used cf-auto to root and tripped the knox. In fact I used TWRP 2.6.1 first but it run into boot loop. Then I used cf-auto to root and flash TWRP 2.6.0 (don't flash 2.6.1).

Sweet. Sounds good. So I guess you can now update with stock firmware via Odin, and reapply root after each update? Just covering my bases thank you so much!!! :victory:

[Q] Rooting without tripping Knox

Hi,
Since updating to 4.3 (biggest mistake I've made), I've been looking for root methods or a way to downgrade back to 4.1.2. I tried the De La Vega Root method but that didn't end up working out. I heard Kingo and VROOT are malicious. I was going to try the CF Auto Root Method but I don't want to trip my Knox Counter because I've heard I won't get any future updates if I do so. What methods are available to root my phone or downgrade it back to 4.1.2?
Phone: Galaxy S3 (SGH-i747M on Rogers Wireless)
Baseband Version: I747MVLUEMK5
Build Number: JSS15J.I747MVLUEMK5
I think I have the same problem as you. But are you unable to get further updates if you remove knox?

As of now, trying to downgrade will brick your phone. Rooting thus far will most likely trip counter. For now, there is nothing you can do but ride out and hope there is a solution. I would not try anything further until something is confirmed to be working. You are taking a chance on bricking your device otherwise.
Flash TWRP via odin (newest one). When rebooting from the recovery screen, accept to install root. Once you boot the phone, install the SuperSU via TWRP and the phone will reboot. Once booted up again, open SuperSU and you'll receive a prompt to remove KNOX, click yes. You're done.
Thx for advice

Has this been tested to not trip knox counter?
From everything I have read, the Knox counter will be tripped.
From Chainfire re i9505 (https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/ZKuMQ3fNzuN):
Knox Warranty on new I9505 ROMs
As I've stated before, my dev version of Triangle Away is currently operational (though not yet released) for the flash counter and binary status with the new Knox I9505 ROMs.
If you have an I9505 you've probably noticed the new Knox Warranty status in the bootloader, and I know some of you are hoping Triangle Away will reset that.
Unfortunately, that's unlikely. I've taken a look around, I've disassembled the bootloader, etc, and it looks like an efuse might be involved ( == not resetable ). I'm not exactly sure what triggers it yet either.
Mind you, I'm not a bootloader expert nor have I spent hours and hours digging through it, so there's a chance this information might turn out to be wrong later - but that's what it currently looks like to me.
If you were on 4.11 or 4.1.2, you would not have knox on your phone and rooting would not be a problem. You would just need to reset the flash counter for warranty purposes.

Dude you have to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was experiencing the same issue, but I used this method to root my telus s3 i747m on 4.3. Since you claim that you are on rogers download the 4.3 rogers root file and flash it via odin.
Here's a root method that allows you to keep knox. I haven't tried it out myself but I know that the no knox version works perfectly.

Root is easy so long as you don't mind breaking the warranty.
Quick & easy, for the P600 model:

Thank you, however, I have knox installed.
Would I be able to go back to official firmware and unroot?.
Plus how do Samsung know you rooted your tablet?.

There is a knox counter which, when stock is 0X0. When rooted, the counter is tripped and goes to 0X1. There is no way to undo this and samsung will know.
You can always go back to stock by flashing stock firmware at anytime

Ah a fellow Uker.
I be tempted to root only so I can have apps like Sketchbook in window mode, however, since I just brought it I probably not bother yet.

Update help needed.

Hey everyone,
I'm rooted on 4.4.2 with Knox 0x0. Does anyone know how to update to the newest update while staying rooted and keeping Knox from being flagged?
Thanks!

4.4.4 is built for security, means towelroot don't work. (cause apps can integreat towelroot in their programs and than collect all userdata and send to a server or something) Just the negative side of towelroot

Rooting doesn't trip Knox. Flashing a custom recovery or kernel will put the counter at 0x1.
