Develop Bugs

so what to do with the new 3?

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.

Safestrap Recovery works on N900T!!

I've been using the AT&T Safestrap Recovery on my Tmobile N900T and it works perfectly.
I flashed the AT&T X-Note ROM port (in slot 1) that they have and it works fine on the N900T. It does install the AT&T CSC (Just for this slot, each ROM slot has it's own CSC), but installing the TMO one causes crashing in the dialer (which also happens in the international rom currently out in the TMO forum). So, just keep the ATT CSC like it is. For Wi-Fi calling, I just boot back into the Stock slot and use the stock ROM.
The AT&T Safestrap (I used latest version 3.71)
The AT&T X-Note Port ROM (NO AROMA)
This allows us to keep Knox warranty intact for those of us that want it/use knox and want a recovery to flash customized TouchWiz ROMS..
Just remember:
NO AOSP ROMS
NO NEW KERNELS (which I believe safestrap can't flash anyway)
NO AROMA based ROMS (the install will just hang)
Hopefully more ROM developers on here will release Aroma free ROMS so that we can take advantage of this excellent tool!

Isn't the only reasons this is used with the ATT phones are the locked bootloaders and not changing tripping the counter? The counter doesn't matter with T-Mobile since you can do a exchange with T-Mobile since no one checks the counter. I think there is a Samsung rep which already said that T-Mobile doesn't care about the counter. I am not 100% on what this is used for if not only the 2 things I listed.

Knox is not a counter. It's more of a container for another instance of android that is used for secure work purposes. This has nothing to do with a flash counter. If you "trip" the knox warranty, it goes from 0x0 to 0x1 and you can not use Knox anymore. Custom recovery or custom kernel will trip it. It blows an e-fuse on your phone and can not be fixed without a motherboard swap. T-Mobile doesn't always check this, but they won't just exchange the phone for you if you ask. They might let you upgrade through the JUMP program or exchange because of another issue, but not necessarily do an exchange like you put it.
Some of us want to preserve the use of Knox because we can use it for work. Some just do not want to blow that e-fuse because it permanently disables a phone feature and possibly devalues it.
ATT phones have a locked bootloader, that means they can't install a custom recovery the traditional way. The T-Mobile version is unlocked so we can, but we blow our e-fuse if we do. There are benefits and limitations to safestrap recovery as there are to the regular recovery. Even if you have a regular recovery installed, the safestrap can also be installed and allows for "slots" that house different ROMS. You can switch between those ROMS with a simple reboot. This opens up possibilities not possible before.

Great find. I used this on my att note 3 before I made the switch. Would be great to see this adopted here in the tmo note world.

The Knox warranty is not for Samsung warranty. It is the KNOX WARRANTY... like it says. If you don't know what Knox is, do some research, decide if you need/want to use it and then blow your e-fuse if you don't need it. If tripped it's stating your phone is not warrantied by Knox... not Knox safe because Knox will no longer run on your phone.
People who work in a corporate environment can really benefit from Knox, you can replace that extra work phone with one phone that has a personal side and a work side via the Knox secure container. Even people who don't need it for work can benefit from a secure container that Knox offers just try Knox and see what it is or watch a youtube video.
Don't tell people to trip it if you don't even know what it is.

Haha, just like in real life, you're going to find people on xda with different ideas about just about everything. Some people will never need Knox, others will. And, because this is xda, you will also find people who didn't know they wanted/needed Knox until it was too late. And now it's our responsibility to fix it for them (at least in their minds, anyway).

is there any side effect or anything using the ATT safestrap ?, also did you just blindly follow the steps from the ATT page or you did something different, i always wanted to have multiboot.
Thanks for letting us know.

Just blindly followed steps. No side effects. Make sure you're rooted, download the att safestrap apk and install it. Open apk and click install, click reboot to recovery and that's about it.

Multi boot capability is something many could find very useful, this is great find. As a matter of fact all custom ROM should have this, so you can test them, see what works and what not and while you wait for fixes, all you need to do is reboot to get back that WiFi calling, or whatever else doesn't work and you need it ATM. For example, in my case the main reason I don't even consider other ROM is above mentioned WiFi calling, nobody else has.

About to do the same thing. May I inquire what CM/AOSP kernel you are using as the flashable zip? I haven't located anything that is just the kernel as far as CM goes. Just wondering if you are using one from the International or something...

Im using temaseks latest with IOCP
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Only problem is you will set the Knox flag since CM11 needs a different kernel. of course if you have already set it, no need to worry about it.

can someone recommend a 4.3 ROM that we can flash on the TMobile running the AT&T Safestrap? I looked but can't seem to find anything but 4.4.2 ROMs.

SM-P600

Hi All
Let me start with few good things here You guys are amazing helping and providing tweaks for us:good:
I am Nexus user. I have Installed Custom Recovery, Flashed ROMs and rooted my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. This is my First Samsung Tablet. I have waited enough for Nexus 10 (2). I finally bought SM-P600.
I was trying to find an Guide with links for Unlocking bootloader and Updating firmware and then flash Custom recovery for this but coudnt figure it out
I have been reading lots of things about Knox and counters related to it.
Can anyone Please help me find answers straight.
1) Any Rooting and Custom Recovery tools or ADB commands without Hitting the KNOX counter {Just In case IF I wanted to return it} If not then which one you recommend ?
By the Way I found few posts related to Rooting Which has confused me more. I used to use Chainfire SUROOT:
Rooting using CF-AUTO Root
Universal Root de la Vega
2) If I Root and want to use Stock ROM of SM-P600 will all apps work normally or any known issues with it ?
3) Is Odin any tool which everyone is taking about ? I am not sure about it Can you provide any links to its dev for more info. Found it about in a Post to return to STOCK ?
4) Are these ROMS and apps Odexed or Deodexed ROM?
5) Any Dependencies for Firmware and with any of the above questions. I mean In Universal Root I saw they were talking about certain version of firmware. Also Should I update the latest firmware and do a Nandriod backup ?
6) Also read that once KNOX counter goes up, I wont get any OTA ? My Plan is I will use it till next Nexus and will give it to parents with stock ROM. If I am using I can always use an Custom Rom and get updates. But for parents I want to return it to stock so that they can easily update when OTA is available.
I would like to make one more suggestion to MOD's Please Pin the Guides like the Rooting and stuff like Return to Stock which are quite common and useful so that its easy for newbies( aka for Samsung) like me.
Thanks
Zaib.

1. This is not really a single question with a single answer I think vaguely what you are asking is if you can root without tripping knox?
Nope. Not at this time.
2. If you use CF-Auto-Root you'll likely find that the vast majority of applications keep working without issue. Of those that don't, a handful you can manage back to a working state with various tweaks, but there are a few that are probably gone for good. You can basically kiss all the Samsung hub apps goodbye, these will start claiming they are not supported in your country even if they were working perfectly prior to rooting, some may continue working for a short time after but eventually something leaks and your access is cut. Screen mirroring will no longer work though this can be fixed with a small zip file flash. OTA updates are also gone.
Forget all the talk about 'triangle away' fixing any of this, it hasn't for me.
3. Odin is a tool that is able to flash firmware files or parts thereof to your device. Heimdall is an alternative suite of applications, while there is a GUI for it, it seems fairly hit and miss on Linux these days, I've never had much luck with it, on the other hand the command line tools work perfectly fine.
Once you trip Knox, there's no turning back! You won't lose your warranty in any meaningful way, but you may end up having to argue about it and drag in government regulators to get your tablet repaired free of charge depending on the dealer response.
4. I don't think this is particularly relevant to the SM-P600. My subjective opinion would be to stick with the bog standard Samsung ROM. If you want cool themes there are a multitude of launchers, Xposed takes care most other things you might ever care to tweak.
5. You have one choice. CF-Auto-Root. Backups are healthy.
6. True, but you'll still be able to flash via Odin so it doesn't really mean much of anything. Once you trip Knox, you can also kiss OTA updates goodbye as well.

S6 Edge Root

Hi guys i havent been in the forums in a while and i thoght about rooting my device cause i formatted my phone and lost a bunch of pics that i want to recover. long story short i have tryied many apps and none seem to be able to recover the deleted pics. the only one so far that people claim that can do it is DiskDigger or something like it, but for it to fully work it needs ROOT. so my problem is that unless there is a 100% way of getting my deleted pics which at this point i doubt, then lets please proceed.
Since i need to ROOT im gonna give you guys my phone specs so you guys can get a picture and advice me better cause i dont want to mess up this phone cause is my daily driver.

is everything here ok? does anything seem ok in my phone? is it rootable?
ok first of all let me say that i do not care about the pay methods but i do care about losing other functionality like fingerprint scanner of LTE and less battery life and stuff like that. mine last me about a whole day with moderate use and some gaming in between.
i want basically to ROOT my phone and if possible and available without tripping the cursed knox so i can if available intall a custom recovery so i can backup and restore my phone from (on that actually works) cause i coulnt for the life of my phone NEVER restore from an image done by my S4 with TWRP or i never knew how to do it cause when i tryied it to fully wipe ended up having to reinstall the full firmware and rooting from scratch.
Also if available which apps and in which directories can be frozen and which ones can be unistalled cause im tired of facebook and instagram and Tmo useless crapware.
Sorry for the long and winded speech but this phone is almost a $1000 and i dont have insurance anymore and if knox tripped samsung wont fix or exchange.
thanks in advanced
have a nice day
sorry for the length again

Apparently you have done some reading (and if not, start reading) because you are mentioning all or most of the issues that some folks are experiencing with this phone when attempting to root with latest firmware updates. ( Not to mention the bricks. )
At first release it was possible with little consequences but that changed in a hurry with updates and with every update it becomes harder and more dangerous to root safely.
There is very little going on in development, just some rehashed versions of the old firmware and in the international forum there are some roms that lose a lot of features you want.
If you really need and rely on your expensive phone and need all features working, leave it stock.
As for your lost images, well your going to have to use your imagination and try to remember what they were.
I was a diehard rooter with all my devices until I met up with this Samsung 6Edge, I love the phone and am a big fan of Samsung so I'm sticking with stock debloated for now, I'm learning to live "stock" and enjoying my phone with all features working properly.

Yes, disabling all and any bloatware that gives you the option to disable.
When my phone is sitting idle it goes into 99% deep sleep.
With light use I'll get 30 + hours from a charge.
I don't subscribe to Facebook or any of those social media apps and for games I have a Tab2 running CM. I basically use my phone for calls, messages and photos and a couple of forums.

I agree with @PanchoPlanet to an extent. There are 2 ways to root the S6 Edge right now. One works just fine with no issues. I have been rooted since I bought the device before Samsung Pay came out. The other way that people have been using to avoid tripping knox will screw up your phone.If you don't care about Samsung Pay then you can simply use CF-Auto root like always. then flash TWRP after you root. The only thing that has made rooting unsafe is the people trying to avoid knox. I keep posting everywhere that people need to stop worrying about knox. Unless you are in a security job or a government job or you want to use Samsung Pay then knox is absolutely of no concern. People worried about getting their device fixed or returning it because of the knox trip, I have read many people were able to without problems.

Ok so, so far what i have done is just odin the UNIKERNEL which also rooted my phone. Everything is working nice exept for titanium which i already asked in another thread. So my next question is: is it safe to factory restore my phone from the phones menu -->backup and reset-->factory data reset <--
Is this safe and will it still remain rooted so i can install titanium and a custom recovery so i can do a full image?
Can someone plz answer today to see if im able to get my phone up and running by tonite?

Just install TWRP and flash SuperSU.

So there is noway to do this without tripping knox?

bump!

No.
Let me add on a bit to my initial response. Rooting the phone will trip Knox. Has been this way for quite some time. Discussed across many thread here and elsewhere.
Now the question comes up as to what do you lose by tripping Knox? Samsung Pay will never work for you. Android Pay may or may not work. Many people have been able to get it working at least in part, but disable Root (via SuperSu) when using Android Pay. I don't use either of those, so I don't care.
Then the question comes up if this voids warranty. The answer is only if you say "Hey, I rooted my phone and then broke something!" If you need warranty for a physical defect, go back to stock via Odin and you shouldn't have a problem. If you root your phone and then install a ROM not meant for your phone or local (like a Note ROM or an international ROM) you are probably going to mess something up that will be immediately obvious. The solution is not to do that.
Realistically, there aren't a ton of great ROMs available for this phone and most are based on stock anyway. No CM13 as yet. If you can live with your phone un-Rooted, that might be the wisest choice.
That said, I rooted my phone as soon as I got it. I went the full route, didn't care about tripping Knox and still don't. I have run both Renegade and TeamSPR ROMs and have been happy with them.
Now you can decide what to do.

Or u could root ur phone n install xposed on it ... Rooted S6 stock rom is now compatible with xposed its better than any custom roms out there

In my case, I only need temporary root. After that it maybe removed. So it would be nice to be able keep knox from being tripped if possible. Installing twrp is an additional step too that I would like to avoid again because it would serve no purpose since root would only be temporary. I also wanted to be sure that build G920PVPU3CPD3 could be rooted. Thanks for your input guys.
