Hi...
Please help me.. After flashed with latest I9190DXUAMK2, now i cannot successfull root my i9190.
It always asked me to update supersu binary, but it failed. Now i cannot restore all app from titanium backup, coz titanium needs root to run.
I also got knox warranty void 0x1. Hope some expert here can give me solutions.
Hi, you need busybox.
Flash root kit v2 it has busybox
Then flash root stock v1 for battery drain. Then everything works

Please give me link for those u mention..
I'm currently cannot restore all my apps from titanium backup, since it needs root access to restore.
That new firmware has KNOX enable. Even i already deleted some knox app from /system/app, it seems to be run and block all su access.
I followed the root method, supersu icon already there and needs to be updated with latest su binary. But it cannot update, it fail..
ADB SHELL, then run su from command also stuck.. I cannot do anything in unroot condition.. I also tried to downgrade previous firmware, but cannot work. Odin fails too !! Samsung now put high protection on latest firmware, so they protect it cannot be rooted..
If u already tried and make sure this method working, pls give me the step by step method.
Thanks before and after..
Does latest firmware for i9190 needs insecure kernel to disable blocking access from su ?
I tried flash previous modem, odin success, but why the PDA version still no change ?
Problem solved !!
The correct way is to flash the latest update supersu zip from chainfire. Flashing rootkit v2 also no change.

I still don't know how to avoid knox trigger. Mine also has knox 0x1.. U cannot downgrade to previous ROM since the latest firmware has a new bootloader which protect u to downgrade the ROM.
If u already followed the step from page 1, then u have to do 1 more step.
Just download the updated version of supersu from chainfire. U can download from this link http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Go to recovery, then flash it.. U can totally root your device..
Found this German page just off of Google with what appears to have a guide on rooting kitkat without voiding knox...
http://www.mobtivity.com/de/news/galaxy-note-3-update-auf-android-kitkat-mit-root-und-knox-0x0.html
I posted the link in another thread as well, but figure a new thread will give it some more attention.
Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3.
I've never personally rooted before, but planning to once a knox friendly method has been confirmed for KitKat!
Interesting. Going to have to look into the original No-Knox Trip thread too.
SUCCESS! 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0!
Success! Followed the German guide in the link and now I have 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0! Below is the bootloader file that I created and used.

THIS IS T-Mobile Note 3 Forum, why are saying: "Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3" ???
wrong forum...
Yes. Just follow the steps. The trickiest part is the extracting bootloader. I had to open the command prompt, go to the folder, and run the batch file, instead of running it directly from Windows explorer. That's why I posted the file here for others to benefit.

Just to clarify
This method has been used for some time here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522729&page=69
Also, this is not a 4.4 root method, rather it takes advantage of root while on 4.3 (ex. Root de la vega). So if you already installed the 4.4 bootloader, you have to wait for something else to come along.
You use mobile odin pro (which requires you already have root) to flash the 4.4 ROM while injecting root into it, however mobile odin pro never touches the bootloader and so if you stop there, you can't boot back into your phone. It's a soft brick. You need to update to the 4.4 bootloader using Odin on the desktop after using MOP to flash the ROM.
I tried this the day the update came out and got stuck on the booting recovery screen after I flashed my own 4.4 extracted bootloader. I was forced to Odin to the complete 4.4 and I am stuck with no root unless I auto-cf and lose knox.

So what your saying is, this doesnt work like the person before you said, correct?
I think my bootloader file wasn't created right. This should technically work if the bootloader is correct. It's for preserving a rooted 4.3 to 4.4, not rooting 4.4.

The tool in the German guide is supposed to be able to create a bootloader from any rom, given you have the md5 file from Sammobile. Use Google translate if you can't read German.

Ok it works. Pretty easy instruction. Knox still 0x0. But I had to spend $4.99 to buy Mobile Odin Pro.
Things are getting a little confusing... I think this needs an english guide with requirements that people can follow and understand. Q_Q

Agreed. Someone that has done this, can you make a quick guide on how to do this exactly coming from 4.3?
I followed the guide and got to 4.4 with root access and KNOX is still on 0x0.
1. I got the initial root on 4.3 with root_de_la_vega and used regionaway to unlock the device as I am currently using my N900T with ATT.
2. Followed all the steps to create the bootloader file after getting the stock firmware for 4.4.
3. Followed the instructions as described on the page using google translater via chrome.
4. After applying the firmware using mobile odin pro...the device gets stuck at recovery booting.
5. Took off the battery for a few and then finally made it to download mode.
6. Tried to use the BL option, but the version of ODIN I had didn't provide an option to choose the BL.
7. Download the ODIN from the instruction page and that provided the option to load the BL i created using the method.
8. Finally the device booted, and I still have root access with KNOW 0x0 and running on 4.4 as well.
Let me know if you need the bootloader file I created and I shall upload the same.
Hope this helps.
Confirmed working; did this yesterday following the instructions, step by step like on the website mentioned; started from 4.3 rooted with Root de la Vega 0x0 Knox flag, unpacked tar.md5 file, created bootloader with the script provided, flashed firmware from Mobile Odin (need to be careful to select after flash option to download mode before you click flash now), then flashed the bootloader I've created using the Odin version provided in the link; everything went smooth, no softbricks, got to keep all my apps and settings, now my phone is running 4.4.2 and is rooted with the Knox flag untouched, 0x0. Only issue I've seen so far is that my default email application keeps FC-ing, can't use it.
I've read as much as I can and I just need a little more help. I want to be able to root my T-Mobile Galaxy S3, SGH-T999.
1. Is there any other way to pull files from /data/data without rooting?
2. Can I just do a simple root and then later root with CWM or TWRP using another option?
3. I thought rooted was rooted, what is the need for "insecure boot"? Is that the only way to get a file image backup of my partitions?
4. None of the rooting options in the Skipsoft Android Toolkit wipe the device, correct?
5. Is the only way to be able to "recover" back to stock by installing a "custom recovery"?
All of the options include "custom recovery". What if I just want to root the device and install a custom recovery later? Or it custom recovery included in all the options so I can get back to stock if I mess up? Thanks!
I am not sure why you'd need to go to such extent.
By your question on Insecure Kernel, I assume, you have Stock 4.3 update. If so, please flash SuperSU Zip via Custom Recovery. You can Also flash Root66 of 4.3 (UVUEMJC ) to get Root as well. None of these methods are destructive and make you loose your data.
As to your other questions, /data/data should be accessible read only to Good File explorers such as ES File Explorer. My Backup Pro should be able to backup those files too. Insecure boot is needed to root as SELINUX Enforcing will not let you have Stable Root. Best Flash ATT Insecure Kernel Posted on this sub forum. I don't understand what you mean by "Recover to Stock".
can't do anything without root
I tried ES File explorer and 2 others, they show /data/data as blank. Most everywhere I've looked says you have to have root
In that case please post your Current Android version and what you see under Baseband. What step we take next depends on this information.

Thanks, this is great. I rooted the same model phone that was on OS 4.1.2 by uploading root66 with Odin and it worked in one step. I see now that root66 is not the way to go on the 4.3 phone just yet. I will follow your tips. I see too that I have to get rid of Knox and make sure the recovery partition does not get reset. Think I should put busybox out there too, or with TWRP and SuperSU do I have all I need?
Thank you very much for your help!

What else should I take note of? I've read things about 'Recovery' and unlocking bootloader.
-Should I do a recovery? How do I do that?
-Do I have to worry about the bootloader?
-Will I be able to get further ota updates after rooting?
Should I wait for 4.4.4 before rooting?
Thank you in advance. I've done alot of reading but I'm still paranoid and confused...

I don't have a 5120 but everything I have read confirms that CF Autoroot works without issue on that device. Just make sure after boot up you install SuperSU, update binary, and set it to apply upon system boot. If it doesn't work the first time keep trying. As a warning....this root method will trip Knox and void your warranty. Can follow the steps HERE to root.
You will want to install a custom recovery to flash roms (PhilZ or TWRP). However, changing the recovery, bootloader, etc. will prevent you from taking OTA updates. This is not such a bad thing because you never know if a new OTA will destroy root and lock the device. It is better to let the devs modify it first and then flash it safely. Usually only takes a day or so for devs to do this.
As for changing the bootloader, it depends on the rom you flash. Some will be fine running from older bootloader and some require the KK bootloader. Just check the first post of the rom and it should give you the requirements.

I do not know of any root method compatible with the N8 that will not trip Knox. Towelroot is not compatible otherwise it would be an obvious choice.
Yes...looks like that walkthrough will work fine for installing PhilZ.
Why are you installing a custom kernel? Are you sticking with the stock rom or flashing a custom one? A lot of roms already come with the kernel packaged.

I'm installing a custom ROM & Kernel because the accuracy of the pen is not very good on my device, and I primarily brought it for note taking. My understanding is that civato's ROM/kernel will fix this (hopefully!).
But I didn't mean to imply that I'm only installing a custom kernel but keeping the stock ROM. I was planning on doing both, as described in civato's kernel+ROM release thread.

The procedure is the same but you want to go and download the CF AutoRoot for your device here: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Your device is on the list so is compatible. There are also some basic instructions listed for how to root.

Thanks for your response. I have only one corcern left. In the link you posted, on top of the table of CF-Auto-root, it mentions that if the bootloader is locked this might brick the device! How can I make sure that my bootloader is unlocked prior to start rooting.
Previuosly, I had my note 8 rooted with CF auto root via odine when it was on jelly bean 4.1.2. Does this mean that it is safe to root it again with new CF auto root for 4.4.2?
It's just a warning pal I rooted fine from 4.4.2 with chainfire autorotate it's just a precaution before proceeding as with any flashing procedure it contains a risk of bricking

How did you update to 4.4.2? Rom flash or OTA? Did you manually update the bootloader?
As far as I know Samsung doesn't usually lock bootloaders unless it is carrier dictated. It is usually common on HTC and Moto devices.
Better to be safe than sorry though.

Sorry but I can't/won't confirm whether or not that particular model is safe to root after 4.4.2 upgrade. Maybe someone with more knowledge on that version can chime in. I wouldn't think it would be an issue but don't want to steer you wrong. The bootloader could be locked.

I am getting an error saying that my system has been modified so I cannot get any OTA updates

Use ODIN and the OH1 TAR file from SAMMOBILE. That will bring you up to the most recent stock and baseband. Then Unikernel and TWRP and flash the ROM.

Thank you, y'all are very helpful, i remember now why i enjoy this forum so much, last question i seem to be getting mixed answers from is whether or not 5.1.1 has a root that doesn't trip knox on our phones

No. It does not. Rooting 5.11 WILL trip Knox.
