*the counter of the new Knox is set now to 0X1 but personnally i dont really mind.
The problem is that i woudlike to remove the root. I dont whant to downgrade i like 4.3 jellybean. (Anyway Att s3 cant be downgraded it will result to a soft brick)
I dont know how to remove the root and i woudlike to learn how to do it on my Samsung galaxy s3.

This will get you to the 4.4.2 stock update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917
It depends on you having a custom recovery. It does provide a way to go back to the stock recovery once you are updated. I believe the same devolper has also posted the most recent update to NJ1 in a separate thread.

wifi not working now, and didnt update.

it let me flash from mjb or whatever to the ne4. all that did was **** up my wifi. switch it to on and it just goes right back off. plus the files for the stock recoveries were spam.

Check that your bootloader and modem/baseband are matching in version number, this seems to be important in some of the newer kernels. If they do not match, flash the modem to correspond to the bootloader. If they are matching you may want to reinstall the modem on the off chance that it flashed incorrectly the first time.
Since you didn't mention any issues with calling or data I take it that the correct APNs are installed.
I don't understand why you call the stock recovery files spam. The link at 4. leads directly to the androidfilehost page to download the file. The other is an attachment to directly download the file from xda. To each his own.

You're welcome for the firmware link.
Also, seeing as he's on 4.3, perhaps he doesn't want to trip knox, which your bullish statement will do.
I asked you nicely in pm to link to my thread instead of stealing my links, but since you ignored that, be prepared to have me comment on your posts where you try to pass them off as your own, or at least fail to attribute.
I appreciate that you want to help others, but please attribute links and/our abide by the posters requests when they ask you.
Thanks

That's strange, I never did have any issues when rooting or re-rooting
my phone. Usually when I see someone having problems rooting it's
usually caused by not using the time-tested method of odin flashing the
correct and latest version of cf-autoroot designed for the N900T.
Good luck!

Follow the directions from Effortless. And get the free version of Triangle Away (link in OP). It's "effortless".

Is it necessary to upgrade? IMO not really unless you care about VoLTE and Download booster. In that case here's what I would do to upgrade and retain root and knox 0x0:
Download ne6 firmware from link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769856
Followed this instruction below to update from 4.3 MI7 to 4.4.2 ne6 and ne6 bootloader and keep root and not trip knox. OR if I'm not mistaken, you can just flash ne6 rom and bootloader via PC odin without tripping knox since they are stock firmware and bootloader. Then root with www.towelroot.com.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53016778&postcount=9
After you update to ne6 with root, f you wanna keep going and update to latest nf4 then go to the thread below, and download nf4 firmware, bootloader, and MODEM+NON-HLOS. Follow step 2 on how to update to nf4 and retain root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398
If you care about working wifi calling then follow instruction below instead of step 2.

Ping pong root

Indeed. If you are on 5.0.2, you might as well use Ping Pong Root. Otherwise, I've noticed that the Auto-Root for G925T does NOT work, and used to use the G920F Auto-Root on my G925T instead.
Once/if you upgrade to 5.1.1, the root game is completely different - currently involving custom kernels and stuff. Still possible, just a bit more complicated is all.

Are you saying that in order to root my S6e that I ota'd with no issues or problems I would have to flash a kernel?
Currently stock 5.1.1 , stone stock out of the box.
Root for dummies shows one download to achieve root.
Or can I use auto root for 920f?
Want to keep my firmware stock with just root privileges.

The root-for-dummies single-download is actually the UniKernel - it's a replacement kernel mostly designed for international variants, which happens to work on our device. The key thing is that it includes a root injection.
But otherwise, in order to root 5.1.1, you need to have a custom kernel that sets SELinux as Permissive. Th UniKernel does that, and so does the OF6 one I built.
Using any of the existing Auto-Roots will cause a boot loop, because the stock kernel will reject it.

Thanks for that precise explanation that I have been searching for days with no proper explanation.
Your response is very enlightening, and what I want I'll still have to wait for, root and a stock kernel.

No problem! The closest thing you'l get for a while is the OF6 kernel I built over in this thread. It's not quite a "pure" stock kernel, but you can read through what's been done to it and decide if it's close enough or not.
But, keep in mind that at this time, there's no root for 5.1.1 that doesn't trip KNOX.

Upgrade firmware with root forT999UVDMD5 to 4.3.3 from 4.1.2? Please help, thanks!

Hello All,
I hope every now and then someone still browses through this forum as I understand this phone has become obsolete.
Maybe I'm the only person who still uses the S3 (T mobile - T999UVDMD5). I recently noticed that my android version is outdated (I'm running a 4.1.2) and thus expose me to the stagefright vulnerability. Online check reveals the latest update is 4.3.3 so I hope I can upgrade to the latest firmware for the phone. However, my phone is rooted and I'm not sure if there is a easier way to "flash" the rooted version into my phone or Ill have to unroot first.
I really suck at all these technology stuff, but I'm pretty good at following step by step directions. Do I have to unroot first? How do I unroot? just use that triangle program? would I lose everything? If someone can be kind enough to help me walk through the easiest process I can do to get the rooted 4.3.3, I'd be forever grateful. I did my internet search but still have uncertainties so I'm trying to careful because I'm scared I might accidentally brick my phone, then I will be in a world of pain. lol
Thank you guys for the help! Loves the website and the friendly community here!! Please see below for more detailed information of the phone.

How did you originally root the phone?
If you have a custom recovery and root, you'll need to remove root and restore stock recovery in order to receive OTA updates. If you're not familiar with the process, the simplest method would be to back up all of your data and re-flash your current ROM with the stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin. Alternatively, you could flash straight to the latest firmware from sammobile.com.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999/

I think the original root method was I flashed something with Odin.
So all I have to do is download the latest firmware from smmobile, flash that directly with Odin (without removing root or other procedures), do an OTA update, then find one of the king root stuff to automatically root the new firmware?
Thanks for all the help!

Yes, download the stock firmware from sammobile.com, unzip the file to generate a tar.md5 file, then flash the file using Odin. I prefer Odin version 3.07.
Open Odin, insert the tar.md5 file in the PDA box, uncheck everything except f.reset time and auto reboot, connect phone in download mode, and flash.
After upgrading to the latest OTA update, you can flash twrp for the d2tmo using Odin which will replace the stock recovery with TWRP. From TWRP, you can flash supersu.zip to get root access.

Just FYI, sammobile gives pretty slow downloads. It's one of the main reasons I started the firmware thread to begin with. Check the firmware thread stickied in the development section if you want what is usually a much quicker download. Plus there will be a lot if information there that may answer any questionsyou might have.
Also, if you want to re-root, towelroot is the easiest way by far. I posted a thread in this section with links and info. It's probably on the first couple of pages.
Good luck!

Can I root the note 10.1 2014 on 5.1.1 LMY47X.P600UESDPL1

HI, I got my son a wifi P600 note 2014 for his birthday a while ago, and it came with kitkat on it, so i was able to update it, install twrp, and root it. Now i bought another one for my girlfriends son, but his came with 5.1.1 LMY47X.P600UESDPL1 already on it. I cant find any information on whether or not i can install twrp, and then do the cfauto-root just like i did on the other one. Has anyone out there done this yet, or is it pretty safe to try it and i can fix a brick with Odin? I've been a Motorola and HTC guy, don't have the whole Samsung thing down yet.
Thanks, Mark

If CF has LP on autoroot website its good.

That exact version number of 5.1.1 is not on the autoroot website. But I believe the update on the tablet was just some security updates, so I thought mAybe auto root would still work. But if it don't work will it just fail or will it brick it. Can I use Odin and a stock fw file to at least get back to stock from a brick?
Just reread what you said, and now I'm thinking your saying that as long as Cf-autoroot page has a 5.1.1 lp version for the p600 it will work on any 5.1.1 update of the p600?

Why not just do it the old fashioned way? Flash twrp using odin and then directly boot into twrp and flash the latest supersu binary from the chainfire's website. I just did this with PL1 firmware and everything is running fine. Installed busybox, fdroid and adaway eveything working just fine with root permissions

Just so everyone knows it did work rooting with cf-auto-root , then I was also able to flash twrp with Odin. Everything is working great.

Hey I have the same tablet and version but new to this topic and don't know how to root my tablet. I'm searching for a guide for my device. Do you have some tips? Or maybe will explain how you did it?
