I just recently picked up a T-Mobile unlocked Note 3. It's still stock on 4.3 and I'm trying to find out what is the best way to root without tripping the KNOX counter.
Also, will flashing any recovery trigger the KNOX counter?
Basically, what will and won't trigger it.
Thanks in advance.

All I could find is
"If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
But it also doesn't say that it won't trip Knox on others. It also doesn't state if there's a way to flash a recovery or rom without tripping Knox.

You can root MI7 with RDLV and not trip Knox. Custom recoveries WILL trip Knox. Custom kernels WILL trip Knox. Custom roms WILL trip Knox unless you use safestrap.

It shouldn't, but no guarantee obviously. Just root with RDLV and install safestrap. It uses stock kernel and injects itself between the boot loader and the stock ROM.

I believe you can only use TW based Roms, since they use the stock kernel. Search for the safestrap thread for more about it. Good luck!

Oh, before I forget.. Don't ota to 4.4.2 if you want to keep root. If you do, there are no known root methods that won't trip Knox as of yet.

Perfect. I'm still stock on 4.3. It looks like I'm going to root with Vega, install SS and install a stock rooted 4.4 rom for SS to avoid tripping KNOX.
Thanks again!

i searched the whole xda but couldnt find anyone with the new tmobile update for the t999l T999LUVUBNC1. Im rooted and removed knox. currently on T999LUVUBMK4 was wondering how would i install this new update and if it will brick my phone or not. thanks in advance
Sorry, I forgot to add it to my firmware thread. I will do that. In the meantime, you'll probably have to download from http://samsung-updates.com or http://sammobile.com/firmwares
Flash via Odin.
Won't brick, but will need to re-root and remove knox.

will it remove twrp from my phone?
Yes, you will be completely stock. Keep in mind that with any 4.3 updates you cannot flash older firmware anymore. Roms are ok, just not previous firmware. You probably already know that since you're on MK4. But FYI anyway.
You can flash using Mobile Odin, but it will not update your bootloader and other underlying partitions. They would remain MK4. You could tell it to not flash recovery and twrp would be preserved.

Root?
So is there a new way to root T999LUVUBNC1? One that will NOT trip the flash counter and possibly the Knox counter? I've been looking but could not find anything.

yeah i just odin the latest twrp recovery and then download the flashable rootzip somewhere on here and you should be root could also flash the knox removal too if you wanted.
Flashing the recovery will trip the warranty bit though, just fyi.

I don't think cf autoroot will trip knox, but don't take my word for it as it not positive. You'll have to check the cf autoroot thread in Original Development to see if there is one made for your T999L firmware. The T999 one will not work for you.

I did find that there is one.made for the t999l, but not sure about tripping Knox. In the development thread it says it will, but I'm not sure if he means after flashing a custom recovery or not. I would just do it, but I still have 6 months of warranty left.

Only info anywhere I've found just says it provides stability improvements or something to that effect. They likely either just patched up some bugs they found, and/or are trying to get ready for 4.4 OTA's.

I don't know if it will still work on the latest builds, but you could also look into MotoChopper. Some used it to root in the past, and I know it does not write over recovery, so it may not trip the warranty bit. I have no idea if it would trip, or even if it'd work anymore, but is another option worth looking at.
Check ATT forums too. Their root methods usually work for us too.

is it working fine now? i found tutorial over here ,is it ok?
Been trying to figure out but mixed messages.
I know if I upgrade my at&t n3 phone to kk, I am screwed. So I rooted and froze the at&t upgrade till they fix things. Kk downloaded to my 2014 tablet but I keep saying no to the upgrade.
If I let it upgrade will it lock the bootloader or prevent later rooting?
Thanks.

If you root, you will trip Knox no matter how it's done. No getting around it.
[ How do you plan on getting KK without upgrading? ]
Now I'm confused.
Wait... Is you N10 LTE or WIfi Only? If you accept the OTA on the N10, YOU WILL NOT TRIP KNOX. If you ROOT YOU WILL TRIP KNOX.
You can have the upgrade to KK without rooting. Just Keis or OTA.
I was meaning rooting then a 3rd party ROM or upgrading Ota, root.

All you have to do is download the N900TUVUDNE6 Firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N900T&pcode=TMB#firmware. Then, connect your phone to your computer and open Odin software. Flash though AP. After a few minutes, it's done and voila! This will not change your Knox status from 0x0. Then use Towelroot v2 to root your phone. Its a very easy install and click app. and you are done.
I was hoping to avoid Odin if at all possible not because I don't know what I'm doing but because I'm a very cautious and have only rooted one other phone with odin. Also I noticed NF1 is on Kies will that work with towelroot?

No. Simply downgrading to stock firmware will not change your Knox status to 0x1. I downgraded myself in order to gain root and I'm still at 0x0.

I'll try to post them in my 4.4.2 modem thread sometime today. Have to download each full firmware to get them though so it may take a little time.

Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.
NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.
Tz.mbn - Trust Zone
Rpm.man - resource and power management
Sbl2&3 - secondary boot loader
Aboot.mbn - application bootloader
Boot.img - kernel
I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.
A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.

Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.
New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.
