Just flash a pre-rooted 4.3 stock rom and you will (obviously) gain root again.
And forget Kies for good.

[q] downgrade from official 4.3 xxuemk4 n7100

Hello friends I need a little help in downgrading my N7100
I updated my note 2 to the latest official update 4.3 MK4 by downloading it from samfirmware. I installed it n it was working good. Next I tried rooting it with the procedure on this page http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/5...e2-n7100-root-android43-xxuemk4-jellybean.htm
which was by CF AUTO ROOT method. The superuser app was injected in it but knox prevented itfrom running everytime. I tried it twice but invain. So I wasn't successful in rooting it n I'm running my phone without root n the bootloader now shows that the warranty is void .(.knox is stuck in there). I tried downgrading it to official 4.1.2 by odin but it doesn't go through n I had to flash official 4.3 again.
I need help my friends.. if anybody can tell me how to Reber back to 4.1.2 or if I can root my official 4.3
Please help me

So you mean to say that I won't be able to revert it back to 4.1.2 or root the official 4.3.

Correct. However you can root 4.3.
All the info you need is already on forum if you use the search button. If you had bothered to do research before upgrading you would have already known about knox/bootloader.
Downgrading from 4.3
Hi, I flashed DN3 and I flashed MJ5 bootloader. I flashed WanamLite MK4 V4.2 Android 4.3 previously too. Is it possible for me to downgrade? I need to restore to factory setting since I'm going to send my phone for warranty.
I am newbee, can you please explain me how to downgrade from XXUEMK4 (India) to MJ5 bootloader. Please explain what is DN3 and how to flash it.

DN^is a rom, ditto note.. It has note 3 features. Like wanam or phoenix or dr.ketan's custom rom..
you can download it from the forum. just look for it.. And you can flash it with a custom recovery like philz touch or twrp..
This is all I am assuming that you know how to root and you have any version of any custom recovery.
If not, you can read dr. ketan's tutorial in the forum..

I'm not sure about that mate. I was told downloadable. But my downgrade fail for unknown reason. So I decided to flash stock 4.3, and the process fail too. I'm not sure if it's Windows 8, or it's my cable because everything goes fine with Windows 7. Then I flash again at Windows 8, everything turn to be fine. So I guess it's my cable and charger port issue. I will not downgrade to 4.1.2 since I just realize that my warranty expired 3 days ago.

Well, this might help you. But again, it doesn't help me. Maybe it's my cable or mini USB port problem:

The bootloader is stuck to new Knox so I advise to try to flash through Odin any room that have no bootloader in it. that means any room included stock. every attempt to flash bootloader will fail unles someone develop a method to enable us to do that
In regards with root.. after you have used CF method you must install SuperSu from market and that will bypass Knox in disable super user because come from a normal channel

[Q] How to update to KitKat and ROOT ?

Hello, I have rooted my stock Galaxy Note 3 T-Mobile 4.3 and now I heard that Samsung is rolling out soon KitKat update for the Note 3.
My questions is, do I have to unroot and return to stock then update then root the exact same way I did before ?
Does updating to KitKat require a different root method ?
Can I restore my apps and how ? I dont seem to know how to use Titanium backup and I even purchased it!
Please help me and thanks

I believe that you can update to Kitkat via Odin when the official update comes to T-mobile while rooted but you will lose root in the process. As far as rerooting, I believe you can flash recovery with Odin and then flash SuperSu in recovery to get rooted again, although, I think I read somewhere that it wasn't recommended anymore?. Not sure though. I used auto root method which I'm sure would still work just fine with kitkat. For restoring apps I would recommend the App backup and restore from the play store. Very easy to use.
Why dont you flash a 4.4 rom that's out there

I generally NEVER accept OTA updates until Devs have a chance to look at it and okay it, or see what others feedback is after accepting. Don't take for granted that you are rooted and have unlocked boot loader access. And until official KitKat is released its all hearsay as to when it'll come out.

[Q] unrooted after OTA update

i have a Galaxy Tab 3 SM T217S i rooted it with kingo root. i got an OTA update last night and my device is no longer rooted and kingo will not root it again.
i also tried odin boot/cwm root, it did not root it either.
im looking for some other ways to root my tablet that either wont be affected by future updates or can easily be re-rooted.
thanks

Use the same method u used to root it before OTA Update
And I am impressed you've been able to do an OTA Update while the device was ROOTED !

Question on Updating FW onced Rooted

Hello
I have a Tab 10.1 Wifi that I rooted with Odin. I want to update to the newest FW, and I downloaded it on Sammobile. I know I have to use Odin to update it, but will I lose root?
If I do lose root, do I use the same method to re-root?
Also, now that I am rooted, what would happen it I tried to update the FW with Kies?
Thanks for the info

Some answers : yes, you will lose root when you use Odin. Yes, you can use the same method to re-root. I don't use Kies, so I don't know the answer there.

Using Kies was the only way I was able to update the firmware to the previous large update (the one prior to the Kids Mode update). I couldn't update using OTA, as I was getting the "Your device has changed. No updates available." message. So I read somewhere to try updating with Kies.
Once I updated using Kies, the update was successful, but I did lose root access as expected. I'm pretty sure I can root it again, as I haven't seen any posts to the contrary, but I haven't rooted it yet.
Thanks for the replies!
Does Towel Root, the 1 click root work?
Is there a way to save your root, update and re-apply root?
Thanks
I have. 10.1 wifi. Recently updated using Kies. Lost root, and was able to root again using the same root method I previously used. I tried towelroot, but could not get it to work.
NOTE: I and several others have reported random reboots since this upgrade (that added kid mode). I am on the US.
