Hello everyone, I just got my TMO Note 3 today and I was really excited about rooting it and all but to my surprise when I search the threads for tutorials on how to root i came across two. Which both warned about the whole KNOX crap. My question is simple, which is the best way to go if my phone already has 4.3 on it and I don't care about tripping KNOX?
Thanks in advanced
CF Auto root was a 123 for me. I don't care about KNOX since I flashed CM on it for a while anyways

Hello All,
I just got my new S3 with T-Mobile, but I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any ways to safely root s3 yet? Is there a guide for bloatware removal? Thanks for all the help!

You should root with the "No tripping flash counter option".

So have people tried this root? Did it trip the counter?
Seems like the apk has an un-root option as well. Very cool.
Are there any good reasons to root and keep the stock image on the Note 2? I'm on the fence...
It does not trip the counter. Also it has option to fix the exynos exploit which is cool.

With the exception of losing you FFC in the process
The problem with this is that it shows our devices have a widely know loop hole and hackers could do what they want to our phones.

Doesn't this method break the camera until you restore?

I am using it to root the phone. So no camera issues.
If you fix the exploit then it may break your camera.

The toggle effects the camera. And I dont know how thats anu faster then pushing root through odin.

Does this wipe anything?
Nope, works great on ATT Note 2. Still have all my data , just rooted and protected against the exploit. Camera works fine. Quick and easy, need to be in debugging mode and allow 3rd party apps.

Hey XDA,
I was wondering if there was a way to root the t999 without using a PC, because I don't have one at the moment. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you already searched and couldn't find it.
It didn't work. For some reason it was only working on Sprint phones.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

Nope, it requires root. Unfortunately. Which I think is kind of stupid.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.

MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.

Good day have been searching for a way to root it but it seems like its still faulty in some cases, in your opinion wich method would you recommend to root this model?
Thanks for the help.

Use the toolkit in the original development section. It does everything for you. Doesn't get any easier
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk now Free
Thanks for answering, didn't use it because read some posts where people said they bricked their device while using it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Any bricking was the result of people not paying attention. As long as you can read english , you have nothing to worry about

Cf auto root is extremely easy too

Not so sure about people mistaking it when flashing, the thread is closed right now says that the software cant be distributed in its current form.

I too am leary of rooting due to bricking comments. Have you, or anyone, found a way to get twrp installed on top of "officially updated" 4.2.2 unit?
if so, please post link.
thnx
Just rooted my device with cf's worked great, using 4.1.2 though

i rooted my phone by cf auto root and toolkit. both was working well. but i think cf auto is faster and easier.

Stock with the 4.3 its really good for everything i just wish there was a way to modify the hotspot like in the custom former android os but i guess id have to wait and see if theres anyway to root and modify things after a bypass has been found for the stinking knox
Hate to be a Kiljoy but this is already being discussed in this thread.
I don't think we need 2 places to discuss the same thing.
Sorry for the inconenience
