saferoot anyone? Knox 0x0 test and report. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hey everyone. This root method takes minutes. I did this in my sgs4 and there are a lot of other devices that this works on. No one has done this on our device as far as I know.
Was wondering if someone might try this out so it can be confirmed. Way better than kingo and much quicker than rdlv. Just want to know if we have a safe and quick option to root. Maybe this will help answer all those, "hey how do I root without tripping Knox" questions that plague this place every other day.
Mine is already tripped, so can't do this. If it fails it does nothing. I used a Mac, but works on windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you use this, don't forget to give thanks to the Dev k1mu who put this together. It literally takes a second to click it.
And the standard disclaimer of-you do this at your own risk, don't blame me or the Dev, and a while bunch of other stuff...

about rooting. please help!

hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks
you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting
Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!
Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

Thank you for your answer.
Which is better. With root dela Vega I don't loose my warranty? Sorry my friend. I don't understand very well this! But I going to read all.
If you call T-Mobile and tell them you rooted your device and now have a hardware problem.... you might have a problem.
If you leave out the root part and just describe the problems you are having most likely you will be fine.
If the device won't even turn on, etc... they can't see that it was rooted.
That said, you should really... REALLY read up on what rooting method you choose and the followup messages that are posted by those who use it so that you are aware of what issues you may run into.
If you do this fully informed, you should be both successfully rooted and able to deal with any issues you run into because you already read about it.
Also read up on what you can do with Root once you get it. Deleting a bunch of files is not a good idea if you are not really familiar with what you are doing.
Thank you for your answers.
This is my problem. When I turn on the wifi appears this notice...
I don't know what happen! But I received three replacements. And all they is the same problem! I really like the root cell phone. At the moment I have note 2 rooting. And it working very good!
But. Can anyone help with this notice. Please? By the way. The phone doesn't have any application, only of factory.
If you do a simple google search for prevention information samsung, you will find a ton of messages in many forums about this. It is a bug that many samsung devices are currently experiencing.
Hard to imagine you have gotten three replacement phones for this issue AND didn't makes this the topic of your question instead of rooting.
If you are rooted, you can freeze the KNOX apps and you most likely won't see these errors. I don't.

It is a bug, ie should not be happening.
It affects more than the Note 3 and is known. Assumption is that Samsung is fixing it. Don't know if the fix will come from them or T-Mobile.
I am rooted, used the De La Vega Root method when I got the phone.
As a rooted device, I can use Titanium Backup to Freeze the Knox apps and as a result the "bug" does not show.
I have not use for Knox nor plan to. Knox flag is 0x0 though.
Below shows the frozen KNOX apps.

IS this still applicable with Kitkat? I have a new Note 3 with never rooted Stock 4.4.2 Kitkat. wanted to know if I just root using Kingo will it keep KNOX 0x0. I see references telling rooting in any way on Kitkat is tripping KNOX.
To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to root kit-kat directly without tripping Knox. There are ways to get to a rooted KK without tripping Knox, but you need to start on JB, root that and then upgrade to KK from there.

I know this is old but I like how you think. I have been pondering over what to do to unlock my phone for a long time. I trust (to some degree) Cyanogen and Chain fire (odin) but it seems they dropped interest in the Note 3 Tmo (or I just don't know what I am doing... that is a possibility)..... I did my best to try to read the code of towel root and read threads to see if my IMEI is going to be sent to some underground organization or get a key logger hooked into my device or (insert some warranted tinfoil hat concern here) and yet I tried it... and as it seemed safe enough.... it didn't work.
Long story short, did we ever determine if Kingo is safe?
Thanks for this thread

how do you verify knox is still 0x0 after rooting using Kingo?

I used the Kingo root method, went well was even able to install TIBackup and a few other applications.
However, I've looked and there are posts that "show" the Knox status in startup mode but where do I find it? IF I didn't flash a custom recovery to NOT trip knox, how do I verify that Knox is still 0x0?
I am hoping I am not asking a repetitive question because I did do a search on the Q&A forum first and found lots of posts "about" Knox and various other posts about this but, and PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I DIDN'T FIND IT AND AM ASKING A REDUNDANT QUESTION, how do I confirm I haven't tripped Knox?
Thank you in advance.

The Kingo program installed supersu on my device and that's it. I still have 0x0 Knox. So, no idea what happened with yours. I don't even think CWM is included in Kingo.

Kingo does not load a recovery, just a copy of supersu to provide root access. You did something to cause cwm to be installed. Perhaps a different process or you loaded cwm afterwards yourself?
I can confirm Kingo does not trip Knox, unless you did something afterwards or maybe you do not have original T-mo phone, I think the new bootloaders are locked and will trip flag, but I think T-mo should still be on MI7.

I thought it was weird also. But the only thing I did was verify the bootloader version at MI7 and ran the program. I watched the program run and freaked out when I saw the cyanogen robot. I didn't even have that recovery anywhere on the phone where the program could access it. I'm not sure how our why it happened. I'm new to that program and this phone but not new to flashing. I was trying to preserve all warranties and remain stock. Just wanted root. Hopefully someone will figure out how to revert knox one day.

I just read the kingo changelog and as of version 1.1.7 there are scripts added to use a custom recovery to inject root. On their Facebook page it even says to be aware of the risks involved in flashing a custom recovery. I used version 1.1.8 and at no time did it say it was going to install a recovery nor did it give me the option to choose not to. I am trying to get sold off the people that developed the app but cannot find an email address on the website. I'm glad that the program has worked for so many. Sad that it didn't for me. If anyone could tell me if I did something wrong it would be appreciated. Seems like I am the only one this has happened to.

Sorry to hear that, when I get home tonight I'll verify which version I used, but I just double checked and my Knox flag is not tripped yet. To be fair there was at least one huge warning in red letters saying I will loose my warranty and brick my phone by using this program, so I was actually sort of expecting to trip the flag. Also it seems T-mo does not check Knox flag, or at least I have not seen one T-mo customer claiming his warranty was refused yet, due to that.
It would be nice to figure out why it didn't work for you, when it worked for many others, so we can post warning.

I think you just hook your phone up, start up Kingo and press unroot. I have not tried it myself but the option should be there. As a matter of fact there is nothing I read so far to want me upgrade and many to not.

Root methods.

I just bought a T-Mobile Note 3 (N-900T) with 4.4.2 out of the box and have been looking through a billion posts trying to figure out how to root it. Some of the things I read suggest that something else might have been done first, because I'm joining in the middle of the ball game. So far I think I've found four ways to root:
1. Root de la Vega (for 4.4.2?).
2. Install TWRP (Installs Recovery and su?).
3. CF Auto Root (trips Knox?).
See how confused I am? I lost the fourth way. I can't figure out if any actually work on a new 4.4.2.
My desire is root and Recovery, no custom ROM and no Kingo/Vroot.
Comments please.
Frank
I agree with you. I have been researching this subject and still not sure what to use to ROOT. I rooted my Note 2 using Kingo Android Root and that was so simple.
Don't really know if I can use Kingo Android Root for 4.4.2?

To OP - why don't you want to use Kingosoft?
I use Kingosoft, no KNOX trip, work just fine for almost 1 month now. Also, I can unroot easily if I want to. In my past experience with Samsung phones, unrooting can be as complex as rooting it in the first place, so I appreciate the ability to unroot easily with Kingosoft.

Just as a clarification:
You have 4.4.2, rooted with that method, and it didn't trip the Knox counter?
As far as I understand it, there is currently no way to root a 4.4.2 Note 3 which doesn't trip Knox. There is some trickery where you can attain root on 4.4.2 without tripping Knox using Mobile Odin Pro, but that process requires that you to start on 4.3.

Oh crap, I didn't know you have 4.4.2. Sorry, Kingo won't work with Kit Kat.

Once your are on 4.4.2, there is currently no way to root it without tripping the KNOX. There are several ways to root but all will trigger the KNOX flag.

Thanks for your posting and info. Read it and you go into a lot of detail.
I guess I am too lazy to try to go through so many steps to root. I personally am looking for a program that will Root without all the additional things to download and install, etc. Until that program is identified, I will remain Stock and unRooted. Personally I am not worried about tripping Knox as I keep my phones for 1 year then pass them down to wife or kids when I upgrade.

Look up CF-Auto-Root. That is a more simplified way to root. My way is if you are also looking to add a custom recovery.

That procedure is not complex. Install TWRP and it installs SuperSU as a bonus. The deterrant for some people, I think, is the need to use Odin to install TWRP. Maybe they will get that problem with GooApp fixed and TWRP installation will get easier. But if Odin is the problem then CF-Auto-Root is the same.

Don't mean to be stupid, however, CF-Auto-Root has many different versions such as:

1 is correct that is the model of your phone. *Actually SM-N9005 is the international model and sm-n900t is the tmobile variant but it should work*
If you just want root then CF auto root is good. If you are planning on adding a custom recovery or ROM I would recommend following the root options provided in the link a few comments above.

Swipe Dialer Pro
Tunein Radio Pro
Various News Apks (News360 my favorite)
Titanium Backup Pro (when rooted and on my Note 2)
Just to name a few.
Tried many more but go back to these favorites.
So, Thank again!!!!
You are welcome. I was never into rooting until I purchased the note 3 and this is a phone that is a must to root if you want to take full advantage of all that it can do. I am also glad to give back to this community that helped me learn so much.

Totally agree with your comments regarding this community. They have helped me over the years, too.
I Unzip CF-Auto-Root and now have the following files:
TMAX.dll
Zlib.dll
ODIN3-V3.07.Exe
Odin3.ini
CF-Auto-Root-hite-hitexx-smn9005.tar.md5
Where do I go from here? I assume that I would connect my Note3 via USB and execute ODIN3-V3.07.exe.
All these unzipped files are in one folder.
Thanks again!

Yes, open Odin place the .tar file in the PDA section. Make sure you do not check any boxes on the left. The only ones that should be checked is auto reboot and F. Reset Time. Then hit start.
This conversation is growing silly, I don't know to fault the carriers, manufactures, Google, or us the consumers. This is stupid. It's our device we shouldn't need to do all this to gain certain features. I wouldn't need root if you stop putting all this bull ish on my device, restricting r/w to external sd etc just pathetic. I'm not worried about tripping KNOX, I pushed her down on purpose !
