I am looking for the best method to root my VZW Note 4 (with the latest update) without tripping knoxx. If need be i will and return it for the insurance, but i prefer not to go through that hassle. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Unless you updated it manually according to forum, no. I would say no for you

Is anyone working currently working on a solution to this catastrophe? I'm one of the unfortunate individuals that happened to acquire an S4 with this build preinstalled. Needless to say, I'm pissed.I'm curious as to if it's even possible to bypass Knox. I'd love to liberate my Galaxy from Touch Wiz and install a the official GE ROM.
I'm more interested in the updated LTE modem that seems to be tied into the 4.3 knoxed up bootloader since I'm still on 4.2.2.

there is nothing to solve. you may install CWM/custom ROM as normal.

If you care about your warranty this may trip a counter "KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1" or something like that. But anyway, the part about voiding you warranty is a theory. In some cases I've read where a device was repaired in store with a simple re-flash of stock firmware, resetting the counter. Other cases have reported sending them in to either be fixed for free or sent a bill for tripping the counter. So the choice is your, just be informed of the concequences before you make your decision. This phone is damn near $700.

Exactly. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd prefer to keep my warranty intact as well as the resell value. By the time I'm ready to sell it, I'm sure people will start caring about having the manufacturer's warranty still intact.

I was able to run CF-Autoroot after taking the update via Kies. I haven't installed Knox but I am on the MK2 bootloader. I don't believe it prevents root access...

Hi all
On my Note 8.0 (which is rooted) I can choose any app on my device to be used in multi-window mode.
Can I do the same on the 10.1 2014 without rooting? If I DO have to root, is it more complicated than the Note 8.0 to root? (hearing all sorts of things about risky rooting thanks to KNOX)
Thanks!

From what I know you have to be rooted to be able to choose what apps you want in multi Window. And no rooting is easy as hell just look in forum on how to root. It took about 5 seconds to root.

You can remove, but you trip knox and the warranty is no good. There is no way to root and still have warranty.

And you're sure that none of the mega-clever bods on here haven't come up with a method of not tripping the KNOX counter...? (I thought anything was possible for these guys!)

You can always buy from best buy and get the warranty from them and if something goes wrong just smash the screen and bring it back. With there warranty they will replace it for free.

you should be fine if you root then put recovery on then make a back up.The stock firmware is very easy to put on with odin so there shouldnt be any problems unless you get a defective one.

You can individually mod apps to make them work. I saw it somewhere.

What would be the best way to reset this thing to be ready to send back? Would I need to KDZ it or just use the superuser root removal process? Thanks in advance.
I think you to KDZ to remove traces of root.

My issue was with my ear speaker crackling, call verizon and they wanted me to go into safe mode and try a few things which did not help. I have a replacement one coming Thursday.
i've read there is a way to sideload the OTA updates. Can anyone provide provide the OTA files? someone who hasn't updated yet and the ota is available for download for them? anyone? help lol.
Can someone reply? or just inform if it is indeed impossible or difficult? can't someone do a clean system dump so it could be flashed? there are many of us using this at&t devices overseas. help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

Not sure if impossible, but as far as I know you need root to capture and pull the OTA.
Well that quickly puts a damper on my plans with this phone. Should just sell it and get a t mobile or international version. Thanks!!

The update should be in /cache. Someone who has downloaded the update but has not applied it yet should be able to retrieve it using a root explorer app. One would not need root privileges to copy from that directory. You just have to catch it before it is applied.
Good luck
Can anybody here do that for us please? I'm at the point where I would even paypal someone to do it lol.
Surely if that is the case somebody with an AT&T Note 5 would just have to flash stock firmware then search for the update and then upload it?
Unfortunately no one with an AT&T note 5 has root access to pull the OTA.
Codenameredneck mentioned that root wasn't needed in order to copy from the folder, I assumed that would mean it is locked down when trying to write to cache.
Any help would be appreciated.
It has been a few years since I have had to do it that way so there is a chance I do not remember correctly. It is possible you do need root to see that file. I know you can open the cache folder without root and I know once you apply the update it gets deleted from the cache folder.
You can see the cache folder, but can't copy or pull the OTA file from it without root as you don't have read/write access.

Well I got stopped right in my tracks. Sorry, but I tried my best to help. The AT&T variant has decided to be more difficult than expected. I would either sell the device and get a different variant, or pursue the warranty options. Warranty might be a great option anyway considering you haven't gained root and shouldn't be damaged.
Good luck to you!
Just a thought, has anyone tried this? Just curious.
I don't believe there are any devs working on it since the last update that patched the "Depixel8" software. Seems they've given up on the VZW variant. There is a bounty somewhere in these forums. For both bootloader unlock exploit and temp root to flash TWRP and hopefully SuperSU. But I don't know if anyone is trying or what.
Bunch of quitters. lol

Honestly what is in it for the devs to find another exploit, just for it to be patched again, especially that there is an unlocked model of the phone. If they all were locked down, most likely they would try. Honestly just sell the VZW Version and buy the GPE. It is still locked on O, while being TMO.
