Hey there Galaxiers,
I'm new to this forum. I just upgraded my AT&T S3 to Jelly Bean 4.3 and becuase of that my tethering app no longer works.
I purchased a new tethering app that has great reviews called "WiFi Tether Router", but it is saying that I have to have "ROOT Permission"
I am assuming this means I have to root or semi-root my phone, but it seems like a lot of trouble.
Is there a simple method to get this permission without rooting, or a safe way to do it for someone who is not a total tecky.
Any help/direction here would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

In most cases tethering will require root, that is simple enough to do using cf autoroot, just search I forums and d/l the proper img or tar file(for Odin), rooting will kick your counter, so your warranty is void after that, triangle away will reset flash but not warranty counter.

Am I to assume that all of my apps and setting will still be intact after this rooting process? And are there different version to root to? If so what would you recommend?
I'm not worried about warranty as I've had the phone for around 2 years. I just don't want to end up with a brick.
If I knew that the upgrade on Jelly Bean would lock out my tethering I would have never done it. God I hate these phone companies always trying to squeeze us for everything and more.

They should stay intact, but you should always do a backup in case something goes wrong, you can use the SGS toolkit by mskip's to do the backup but don't use it to root it is not up to date for that, just use option 99 to go straight to menu, bypass model info

I just received an epic touch coming from a simplified and easy rooting process on the regular Epic. I was really looking forward to rooting the ET , but what is this buisness with the yellow triangle and odin counts with tho odin root method? Is it just an advanced way of Samsung keeping track of all our rooting habbits? Im totally confused. And also if so , is there a root method to get around all of that , that includes CWM? I dont wanna be tracked , lol.
Do a Google search for ODIN USB jig and it'll explain everything. Also there's info here on the forum on how to reset the counter after flashing a ROM. It's not so they can track you, it just signifies that you've installed a custom firmware.
so incase of needing to send the phone back to sprint , using the odin method is safe? because it seems far less complicated then the other method
Just use the auto root. No Odin, no upping your flash count, and you can use it to get CWM.

SO basically have a new phone here with absouletely nothing done to it. I would like to root and get rid of the bloat, but i need to use knox for my work. I take it that means custom roms are out, but Ill be happy with 4.4 and ART.
Before I break anything, can you guys give me the basic run down or any thing i should know before i start rooting? I havent really messed with rooting much since the droid x days (what a great phone that was)
also, im curious...how do they send down OTAs and not trigger knox? isnt that technically a new ROM?
Go to original development thread and use the "root De La vega" method which doesn't trip the Knox counter but let's you keep root so you can uninstalled bloatware, you'll need to download odin. Basically just read everything in that thread it walks you thru it very simply.

i flashed the new 4.3 onto my device, and then tried to reroot it, cause of course it will erase the root, and now samsungs or androids security wont allow me root access. How do i get around this?

I'm in the same boat... kingoapps failed 3 times.
I rooted mine with cf root then updated super user and it disabled knox so far so good hope this helps

I used Odin and cf auto root as well. It goes through the paces successfully but I'm unable to get a custom recovery or use super su. Apps that require root don't work.
It's gotta be this new security.
Sammy is playing games with us...
If you just rooted the latest 4.3 then you can bet they are patching the bootloaders...preventing you from gaining root...
DeLaVega root is patched, and I would not be surprised if CF is as well...
It's a cat/mouse game with Sammy this week as we fight to get a working root...
Sammy means it this time around, and You may want to check your bootloader to see if they gave you a 0x1 KNOX flag for your trouble....and I'll bet they did...
Sadly it's an efuse...and cannot be removed....ever...so all 0x1 warranties are void, and as of today no bootloader downgrades are possible by any current means...
Thanks Sammy...you rotten bunch of pukes....g

I am apparently one of 3 people who actually use Knox... Is there a way to get root without tripping the Knox counter? There are two methods listed in the One-Stop Shop thread, but it looks like both of them disable Knox. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I am on the latest AT&T OTA (MK6). I have flashed plenty of times before, just trying to keep Knox on this phone since it is fresh from warranty service.
Delete.....
I'm gonna go out on a limb here...and say that the root binary...will be detected by knox....even if the root attempt does not trip the counter...
The rom will detect root and flag you constantly...
And here is the bigger problem in my mind...
If you manage to root...without tripping the knox counter...and you use the device normally...
If/when the day comes you need service....the bootloader flash counter will still show a custom binary flash count even though knox does not...and if you attempt to unroot....you will never be able to return to full stock with the official 4.3 loader....(gasping for air )...LOL
Long story short...
Root and Knox do not get along...and your warranty will be gone even if Knox and it's container remain intact...
Leave it stock...IMHO...g

Just picked up a new Note 3 and root is required to run an app that is critical to me.
I was just about to root and then call and cancel my insurance.. then I started noticing threads where people have claimed root on 4.4.2 without tripping the Knox flag.
This is a new phone, never before rooted. I do own Mobile Oden Pro and Triangle away and am willing to purchase other apps if needed.
Either way this phone will be rooted but I would like to keep my insurance warranty if possible.
Thanks
Edit.. custom recovery would be an added bonus not is not needed.

If your baseband is NB4 or NE6 you can use "Towelroot" for rooting
otherwise if your baseband is NF1 or NF4 Towelroot will not work.
Towelroot will not trip knox.
If you flash any custom recovery knox will get triggered
but so far no one lost their warranty due to triggering knox.
Without custom recovery you will not be able to flash any
custom roms.
Good luck!

You can use your insurance even with knox tripping. It only voids your samsung warranty, not your insurance. Just an fyi.

my friend tmobile insurance doesnt care if you have knox trip off
either way you pay one 175 for a new note or screen fix we so i dont matter if you damage the phone or the system
Thanks towelroot worked great with my NB4 baseband..and my needed app works great as well.
