[Q] Note 3 KitKat Knox 0x0 root here?

Found this German page just off of Google with what appears to have a guide on rooting kitkat without voiding knox...
http://www.mobtivity.com/de/news/galaxy-note-3-update-auf-android-kitkat-mit-root-und-knox-0x0.html
I posted the link in another thread as well, but figure a new thread will give it some more attention.
Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3.
I've never personally rooted before, but planning to once a knox friendly method has been confirmed for KitKat!

Interesting. Going to have to look into the original No-Knox Trip thread too.

SUCCESS! 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0!
Success! Followed the German guide in the link and now I have 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0! Below is the bootloader file that I created and used.

So you followed every step and just used the bootloader file you uploaded instead of theirs and you are now rooted with KNOX 0x0? Not that I dont believe you, but can you show a screen shot of this please?

My words are my proof, my friend. It's too much trouble for me right now to have to take picture of the Download mode screen. Sorry.

THIS IS T-Mobile Note 3 Forum, why are saying: "Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3" ???
wrong forum...

Yes. Just follow the steps. The trickiest part is the extracting bootloader. I had to open the command prompt, go to the folder, and run the batch file, instead of running it directly from Windows explorer. That's why I posted the file here for others to benefit.

Just to clarify
This method has been used for some time here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522729&page=69
Also, this is not a 4.4 root method, rather it takes advantage of root while on 4.3 (ex. Root de la vega). So if you already installed the 4.4 bootloader, you have to wait for something else to come along.
You use mobile odin pro (which requires you already have root) to flash the 4.4 ROM while injecting root into it, however mobile odin pro never touches the bootloader and so if you stop there, you can't boot back into your phone. It's a soft brick. You need to update to the 4.4 bootloader using Odin on the desktop after using MOP to flash the ROM.
I tried this the day the update came out and got stuck on the booting recovery screen after I flashed my own 4.4 extracted bootloader. I was forced to Odin to the complete 4.4 and I am stuck with no root unless I auto-cf and lose knox.

So what your saying is, this doesnt work like the person before you said, correct?

I think my bootloader file wasn't created right. This should technically work if the bootloader is correct. It's for preserving a rooted 4.3 to 4.4, not rooting 4.4.

What's the best and easiest way to to create a bootloader file? I need one for different version of note 3. Any issues since using this method? Like spen or force closes or anything?

The tool in the German guide is supposed to be able to create a bootloader from any rom, given you have the md5 file from Sammobile. Use Google translate if you can't read German.

Ok it works. Pretty easy instruction. Knox still 0x0. But I had to spend $4.99 to buy Mobile Odin Pro.

Things are getting a little confusing... I think this needs an english guide with requirements that people can follow and understand. Q_Q

Agreed. Someone that has done this, can you make a quick guide on how to do this exactly coming from 4.3?

I followed the guide and got to 4.4 with root access and KNOX is still on 0x0.
1. I got the initial root on 4.3 with root_de_la_vega and used regionaway to unlock the device as I am currently using my N900T with ATT.
2. Followed all the steps to create the bootloader file after getting the stock firmware for 4.4.
3. Followed the instructions as described on the page using google translater via chrome.
4. After applying the firmware using mobile odin pro...the device gets stuck at recovery booting.
5. Took off the battery for a few and then finally made it to download mode.
6. Tried to use the BL option, but the version of ODIN I had didn't provide an option to choose the BL.
7. Download the ODIN from the instruction page and that provided the option to load the BL i created using the method.
8. Finally the device booted, and I still have root access with KNOW 0x0 and running on 4.4 as well.
Let me know if you need the bootloader file I created and I shall upload the same.
Hope this helps.

Confirmed working; did this yesterday following the instructions, step by step like on the website mentioned; started from 4.3 rooted with Root de la Vega 0x0 Knox flag, unpacked tar.md5 file, created bootloader with the script provided, flashed firmware from Mobile Odin (need to be careful to select after flash option to download mode before you click flash now), then flashed the bootloader I've created using the Odin version provided in the link; everything went smooth, no softbricks, got to keep all my apps and settings, now my phone is running 4.4.2 and is rooted with the Knox flag untouched, 0x0. Only issue I've seen so far is that my default email application keeps FC-ing, can't use it.

[Guide] How to root and install custom rom in Note3 ( SM-N900T)

Hello XDA Members,
First of all I like to say sorry if this post is in wrong section. The purpose behind is to help people who have official kitkat update and can't root and install custom roms. This can also help people to eliminate those boot looping error and everything, I will consider this thread for the newbie.
Lets Start
1) Download Stock Rom just in case, if something goes wrong. Stock Rom
2) Install CF Auto Root
3) Install CWM to install CWM use odin3 v3.09. You install this just the method you used for rooting.
4) After rooting and installing recoveries download the rom and put it under download (internal memory not sd card), Since we have kitkat version please download the kitkat version rom and try to avoid MI7.
5) After downloading Kitkat version rom. Put it on Recovery Method ( home + pwr off button + volume plus button )
6) Wipe cache and davik Cache and install rom from the sdcard/download (internal memory).
Conns-: You cannot install rom from sd card, if you will try it will give you error. If someone know how to fix it do mention in this thread thank you.

I had some trouble getting to 4.4.2 from 4.3, couldn't get recovery to flash. Few things I noticed:
First get stock with Odin
Goomanager tries to install 4.3 twrp
Download the correct twrp yourself, flash with recovery flasher from play
Reboot into recovery and flash jedi

GT-N5120 (Note 8.0 LTE) How to root after ota 4.4.2 kit kat update?

Helppp!
Hi, I have a samsung galaxy note 8 LTE, which i just updated to 4.4.2.
How do I get this rooted?
-Do i follow this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291839
Seems like that's only confirmed for 4.2.2..
What else should I take note of? I've read things about 'Recovery' and unlocking bootloader.
-Should I do a recovery? How do I do that?
-Do I have to worry about the bootloader?
-Will I be able to get further ota updates after rooting?
Should I wait for 4.4.4 before rooting?
Thank you in advance. I've done alot of reading but I'm still paranoid and confused...

There's so much information in these forums, and it's very confusing.
I simply can't find a guide for how to get from Kit-kat on the Note 8 to rooted and with civato's ROM (would love some increased pen accuracy).
Any help would really be appreciated!

I don't have a 5120 but everything I have read confirms that CF Autoroot works without issue on that device. Just make sure after boot up you install SuperSU, update binary, and set it to apply upon system boot. If it doesn't work the first time keep trying. As a warning....this root method will trip Knox and void your warranty. Can follow the steps HERE to root.
You will want to install a custom recovery to flash roms (PhilZ or TWRP). However, changing the recovery, bootloader, etc. will prevent you from taking OTA updates. This is not such a bad thing because you never know if a new OTA will destroy root and lock the device. It is better to let the devs modify it first and then flash it safely. Usually only takes a day or so for devs to do this.
As for changing the bootloader, it depends on the rom you flash. Some will be fine running from older bootloader and some require the KK bootloader. Just check the first post of the rom and it should give you the requirements.

You can use CF Autoroot to obtain root and then install custom recovery via Odin as well. Then you can flash whatever rom you want.

I just wasn't sure on the details of these steps, and wasn't sure where to find more detail. I think I've figured it out now.
First I'd follow these steps: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsu...n5100-wifi-philz-touch-advanced-cwm-recovery/
Then, I'd use philz to install the custom kernel (edit: and ROM). I haven't been able to find any step-by-step instructions, however. But these seem close enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDOY3Oi1VX8
Does this all sound correct?

I do not know of any root method compatible with the N8 that will not trip Knox. Towelroot is not compatible otherwise it would be an obvious choice.
Yes...looks like that walkthrough will work fine for installing PhilZ.
Why are you installing a custom kernel? Are you sticking with the stock rom or flashing a custom one? A lot of roms already come with the kernel packaged.

I'm installing a custom ROM & Kernel because the accuracy of the pen is not very good on my device, and I primarily brought it for note taking. My understanding is that civato's ROM/kernel will fix this (hopefully!).
But I didn't mean to imply that I'm only installing a custom kernel but keeping the stock ROM. I was planning on doing both, as described in civato's kernel+ROM release thread.

The procedure is the same but you want to go and download the CF AutoRoot for your device here: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Your device is on the list so is compatible. There are also some basic instructions listed for how to root.

Thanks for your response. I have only one corcern left. In the link you posted, on top of the table of CF-Auto-root, it mentions that if the bootloader is locked this might brick the device! How can I make sure that my bootloader is unlocked prior to start rooting.
Previuosly, I had my note 8 rooted with CF auto root via odine when it was on jelly bean 4.1.2. Does this mean that it is safe to root it again with new CF auto root for 4.4.2?

It's just a warning pal I rooted fine from 4.4.2 with chainfire autorotate it's just a precaution before proceeding as with any flashing procedure it contains a risk of bricking

How did you update to 4.4.2? Rom flash or OTA? Did you manually update the bootloader?
As far as I know Samsung doesn't usually lock bootloaders unless it is carrier dictated. It is usually common on HTC and Moto devices.
Better to be safe than sorry though.

Sorry but I can't/won't confirm whether or not that particular model is safe to root after 4.4.2 upgrade. Maybe someone with more knowledge on that version can chime in. I wouldn't think it would be an issue but don't want to steer you wrong. The bootloader could be locked.

[Q] Best/Easiest/Most-stable Way to Root GS4 Mini Duos I9192 in 4.2.2

Hello there,
I come from a Jailbroken iphone 5 on is 8.1 (which is broken now), and moved to a Galaxy S4 Mini Duos I9192 on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with XXUBNB1. I'm really a newbie on android and would like to root my phone.
SRSroot didn't work, neither Kingo App (1.3.3) that put me into download mode for an undetermined time, I was afraid to brick it, so I stopped it.
I've also tried TowelRoot, but it does'nt work with Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I'd like to try CF AutoRoot, but I'm not sure that it will work with my baseband XXUBNB1.
There's an alternative: the Rootkit one, but i've read somewhere, that it messes the wifi and the GPS.
I don't know how to choose/Flash/Modify/Find Kernels.
I never used Odin neither.
I really really don't care about Tripping KNOX, and voiding warranty, because Samsung-Algeria does'nt control it at all.
So, my question is:
Is there an easy/stable method to root my phone on 4.2.2? a One-click-Root Tool will be OK.
Thank you so much for your answers in advance.

SEARCH PLEASE. For god's sake.

In this thread is all you need for first root and recovery:

Hi, I'm not a newbie in Forums, I'm an admin of a 60.000 member medical Forum, I'm only a newbie in the Android World ... and I'm always repeting the same sentence of yours : Please Use the search button before asking.
Well, I've - of course - searched here and found This link, but nowhere it's said that it's for Jelly bean 4.2.2.
Plus, somepeople said that Wifi and Gsm signal (unable to detect mobile signal) issues are happening with this method (if you're presuming it, working with 4.2.2)
Other reported that this method will not work with my baseband: XXUBNB1.
That's why I asked my question in a precise way : I want to root, and have a fully fonctionnal phone
Whatever... What do you guys think about this method, should I trust it or not? thanx for being kind

Hi, thanx for your reply, I found this link, but not sure if it will work, i'll try it if someone confirm if once rooted, the phone is still working correctely. I don't know if there are some bugs like Wifi issue or GPS, GSM signal, and stuff like that...
Anyone can confirm its safety for XXUBNB1 on 4.2.2 please?

Yes it's completely safe, but as I said use latest recovery by arco and that rootkits v3, remember you must boot recovery on first reboot after flash.
Best way is to hold the phone ready to push home+vol up once the phone vibrates, then flash rootkit.
By the way this method will trigger Knox (voiding warranty) if you're on Knox bootloader, if your download screen has the word knox 0x0 your bootloader is knox.

Hmmm, I'm really hesitating.
What if I upgrade my phone with Odin to Kitkat 4.4.2, then root it with CF AutoRoot from ChainFire... ? is it Doable? Does CF Autoroot working with all firmewares? Will My baseband change (does it even matter?)
Here is a list of Stock Firmewares, whichBuild should I pick?
Thanks again

Hello,
1- I used the Rootkit V3 (SCRAB) and the CWM recovery 6.0.5.1 on JB 4.2.2
2- Now I'm rooted, but I can't update Su Binary, and I have multiple notification about some apps I gave the root permissions.
3- I've Renamed the 3 KNOXfiles and the ContainerAgent file with the ADB shell.
4- Reflashed the Rootkit v3 like Scrab said
The same problem remains: no SU binary update + multiple notifications + apps requiring root not working at all.
5-Also The KNOX disabler apk 1.01 didn't work!
Shoud I replace CWM recovery with Philz touch recovery, and Re-root it, and if yes, how shoud I do it.
Unrooting through Supersu (already updated) does'nt work at all.
Can I back to my stock firmeware JB 4.2.2 or upgrade to a Kitkat 4.4.2 ? and how.?
Or should I put The most stable Custom Rom through CWMRecovery? which one? a link please?
My phone is really unstable and my apps are not working correctely. I won't root again ever ever ever...
I need to fix this quickly, thanks in advance please.

Try to force close the knox notification then open supersu

Well,
I finally resolved the problem:
Here's what you can do to avoid KNOX Disturbing your Root process on an I9192:
1- Install CWM and Root it with RootKit v3 by scrab just like in his tutorial.
2- Disable Knox application .apk and .odex by renaming them using ADB shell, just like in his tutorial.
3- Install the latest i9192 Philz touch Recovery through CWM Recovery, and reboot in recovery mode, you'll be in the menu of your new Philz touch Recovery
4- Reinstall Rootkitv3 via Philz Touch Recovery
5- Without quitting Philz Touch, Re-root the device.
6- reboot normally, and install a fresh supersu directely from the playstore.
7- Updating the binary will success
8- You're done
Now my device is stable and normally rooted (checked with Root Cheker)
I hope it helps

flash recovery via Odin 3.09, then install SuperSu, make EFS backup and flash ROM. Easy as that.
Now that you have KNOX 1 you don't have to worry. You can't change it, next time just read and don't trust to people with no experience on xda.
