Questions before I buy

So I've been thinking about picking up a new note 3 and I'm curious about a few things before I buy and any input would be great
1: if I root the note 3 will I trip Knox if I debloat ? Or would I have to freeze anything I don't want to run
2: anyone know if bestbuy extended warranty is void if I trip Knox?
3: can I still ruin Knox if I root it or will I have to freeze all Knox related software?
4: can I restore stock Rom via Odin or whatever other method without tripping Knox?
Thanks

Probably be better if you posted that over in the note 3 section...
Might get a better response from people actually using the device...
Concerning the note 3 there's ways around the Knox thing...
But personally we're in the New year, so that means a new device is going to be coming soon...
That's why I didn't jump at the 3. Still missing some features that will be addressed in the next release...
Just to name a few for you, 64 bit, Ois(optical image stabilization)... I read they might use sapphire crystal, as the glass for the new devices...
Superior stuff there. Same thing they use on expenses watches...
I'll say do some Google searching b4, you jump the gun...
Just my 3¢™

1. No, it doens't if you have froze all KNOX related things, something with ELM and security service update (with/grey shild icon).
2. I don't know how it is in your country, but in my country you lose automatic your shop warranthy, even if you flash anything to stock or even if you're on the first 2 warranthy years.
3. You can still use it but it's highly recommanded to NOT use it. Freezing KNOX apps is the safest method because somethimes SuperSu and KNOX getting in conflict with each other. If you like you can even debload it.
4. Yes you can!
I highly recomend to root with the KingoRoot method. It's a program for your Windows desktop and you can get it here
Just select Note 3 by devices:

It's an easy tool to ROOT your device without tripping the KNOX counter!
I hope this is helpfull for you and sorry for my bad English.

[Q] Newbie With Questions Rooting T-Mobile Samsung Note 3

Hello,
I'm new to this whole rooting thing (I need to root my device for a couple of apps from the Google Play store) and I've been reading all the forums and I'm scratching my head going over all the information and I want to make sure I get it right so I don't brick my phone. Here is my situation:
- I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T) on T-Mobile USA which was purchased October 2013
- This phone is stock from T-Mobile and has never had any type of mods, etc done to it
- 2 days ago, I upgraded the software OTA to KitKat 4.4.2
- I do NOT have the 'multitouch' issue as described in some of the forums
All I want to do at the end of the day is root my phone, without damaging it - preferably without tripping KNOX either (if possible).
It is confusing to me which thread to follow. I see links / instructions for CF-Root, CF-Auto-Root, Root De La Vega, etc are from October 2013 (not sure if this latest OTA update changes the steps) and I don't know which one to use without damaging my phone. I have the AP, CP, CSC information if this helps. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Follow this exactly from step 4 (since you already have 4.4.2), and you will have no issues. All root methods as of now trip KNOX, so if you really don't want to do that, don't root.

Thanks for this! Will this erase my phone back to defaults? Do I need to backup my phone prior to rooting it?

Everything will stay as is. None of the steps does a factory reset. All that will happen is you gain root, and will be able to use the SD card like you did on 4.3. As far as a back up goes I don't think you can on stock. You need the custom recovery which this will give you. Then you can do that if you want.

Great, thanks again. I will try this tomorrow.

Just some tips if you haven't used ODIN before, or used custom recoveries. When it does its thing, and reboots, make sure ODIN says PASS before disconnecting or shutting off. It's not in the instructions since those doing this know this, but just giving a heads up. Also on the last step after flashing the SD card fix it says to back out until you see REBOOT. When you do that you have two options. You want to press the option 1. NO, and not 2. Reset/stop custom recovery. Again it's not in the post, but you want to keep the custom recovery active, so always select NO.

Thanks so much BobbyPhoenix! Looks like everything is working and my phone is not bricked
Now that I have rooted my phone, I need to read up on what else I can do besides use apps from the Google Play that require root access, e.g. removing bloatware and using my phone as an Access Point.
Thanks again!

Good to hear. One of my first apps I install is AdAway. It's not in the Play Store because Google bans all ad-blockers. If you hate ads (like me) this is a must have. If you want to try it here is the link. After you install it, and open it for the first time to install the hosts, you may be prompted to do a symlink. This is normal. Just press yes. Enjoy your root!
You don't have to download the F-Droid app. Just look for "download apk" under the latest version which right now is 2.8.1.

Good morning all, since my post above back in March, my rooted Note 3 has worked great. Today, when I connected my phone to Kies3, I see that there is an available firmware update from:
PDA:NB4 / PHONE:NB4 / CSC:NB4 (TMB)
to
PDA:NE6 / PHONE:NE6 / CSC:NE6 (TMB)
Are there any precautions I need to take if I want to upgrade to the latest firmware using Kies3 if my phone is rooted using the above procedure?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if Kies will let you update firmware as you are rooted.
You can update to the NE6 Firmware by using Odin.
Find firmware either in this forum or elsewhere and flash away.
There was a good thread here on the Tmobile GN3 Forum with dl links, and steps.
Be well.

Thanks... I'll see what I can find.

Yes there is, when you Odin, make sure you are on stock kernel, and then before you go into Odin go ahead and run triangle away, then boot into download mode. Just seems some people have had issues getting modem to flash, and getting boot loader to flash. Other than that you will have no issues. Thanks man.

[Q] Root for SM-T215?

Forgive me for asking this question but I can't find a way to root this. Yes, I tried searching but it can't seem to find anything about this particular model.
It's the LTE version of the Tab 3 7.0 if anyone is wondering.
Thanks in advance.

I tried using http://www.kingoapp.com/ to root my SM-T215 and for some reason it did not work for me. Others have tried and had success.
Have you tried that yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747

SM-T215 Rooting
Am a noob and still learning but if u would like to try my method,i be happy that i could help u.No flashing of roms as my only intention of rooting is to get rid of those unwanted apps and boosting the speed/battery life.
SM-T215 Tab 3 7.0 LTE (8GB)
Rooting: Only Kingoapp works. (Provide root with supersu but no custom recovery)
Custom Recovery for backup/restore: Only TWRP (SM-T217S) flash through ODIN works.CWM gets bootloops.
No custom roms are found compatible/stable for the T215 so far but xPosed framework is an option.

Flash or install universal root. If that does not work install vroot sure that this will have rooted your phone. You can then uninstall remplasarla by SuperSU smoothly and the other

All right.
1. Install this apk. https://mega.co.nz/#!bQwAlJiT!H04MbX-_Hp0o2sYo7RCaFG904_x_2sxLW0rTTsZlLSM
2. Before running the application, you must tick the boxes, usb debugging, allow mock locations, all in development options, and be connected to the internet.
3.-That done, you open the application, and click where it says open das, root, now there waiting to do their work, if all goes well, your phone will reboot.
4.-If you ever leave a message with Chinese letters before or after you restart your phone, give right click option. Always be on that, that is to give super user permissions.
5. as either root, replace the Chinese application SuperSU, qui this. https://mega.co.nz/#!CVx1BLSQ!g1lLufWuy7GzqxuEgYK2MSHFrqS6UGvelfvD24V_aFs

still not working
i tried that and doesn't work. installed the apk click root but still

How I root my SM-T215 (Singapore) at 4.2.2
Excuse me for being a Noob...
To enable USB Debugging is the same as Note 3. Tap on About Phone and the Baseband 7 times (I Think) as almost weeks ago when I tried.
Enable USB Debugging (tick) and all in this paragraph first before trying this website (namely Allow Mock Locations, etc) :
www . mgyun. com / vfroot
Download (立即下载) and Install the software into Desktop.
Need not turn off Tab 3, just connect and wait for the software to detect.
Then it will do its work to root it.
Tab 3 will reboot at least once, and when asked for ADB access, authorize it.
I managed to root my SM-T215 via this method without any knowledge of any programming knowledge.
I hope this helps. Have not checked on Knox yet but glad that I can remove some apps which slows down the Tab 3 LTE

does not work on my SM-T215.

Any other option for rooting SM T215.
Tried various root versions - none works.

www.mgyun.com download the root application and install it in ur pc, once u've launch the app and connect ur device, the app will automatically detect the model of ur device. just click on root.. once rooted, uninstall the chinese version of superuser but TAKE NOTE you need to keep the kinguser tool in your device or else no rooted is being done. once everything is installed, user rootchecker to double confirm that ur device has been rooted. it is not a full root, but it'll do for now. good luck

Sorry for this late reply.
When I had rooted T215, my priority is remove bloatware which includes Software updates. Knowing that Tab 3 hardware will be stretched, I don't want any updates as it will make Tab 3 sluggish.
Thus I am still at 4.2.2. and staying it this way for now.
I am not at 4.4.2+ , so it is still strong with the root.

i've forgotten how i rooted my sm-t215 kitkat. If i'm not wrong, you only need to install/flash only the CWM recovery into your phone, and once you've successfully install/flash CWM recovery, go into recovery and choose reboot now. there will be an option for you to install superuser. choose that and your phone will be auto rooted.
here is the link.

do it at your own risk, i won't be responsible for anything in case something goes wrong as this only based on my memory.
GOOD LUCK

how could i enable lte option

[Q] Debating root, but have a few KNOX related questions (P600)

Hello all! I have just acquired a Note 10.1 2014 Edition! However, the one thing that's sort of bothering me is the lack of root. I also have a Note 3 that's rooted and it's amazing, so I would like that experience on my new tablet as well. My only fear is KNOX; Because my model is the Wi-Fi (P600) edition, there is no version of a root that keeps the KNOX flag at 0x0. With that said, I have a few questions:
1. If I root my tablet, is there any chance of me later on upgrading the system software of my device (Say, Lollipop later on when it's released)? I know OTA is out of the question when rooted.
2. Other than the KNOX applications, does the KNOX flag limit the usage of my device in any other way (for example, Miracast, HDCP, etc.)?
3. How limited am it to software changes on my phone with the KNOX flag enabled (I'm not talking apps, but system changes like bootloader, firmware, recovery, etc. Essentially, would I be able to install a custom bootloader and/or recovery after my KNOX flag is set to 0x1?)?
I have tried looking up the answers to these questions, but the sources I found have confused me. I'm not worried about my warranty either.

I also like to see those questions answered

1.) Odds are we will see 5.0-based ROMs before an OTA update for our specific device, so don't worry. On a previous tablet, I went from 3.2 to an OTA 4.0, then rooted and flashed a 4.1 ROM (CM10). The great part is, Toshiba never pushed anything past a horribly buggy 4.0 for it. Not only can you upgrade your software in the future, you'll have better options, more options, and (in all liklihood) earlier access.
2.) Not that I know of. I'm running all of my apps perfectly and have only had one feature not work on an Xposed module (hide WiFi on Wanam Xposed module), though I can't attribute that to KNOX in any way.
3.) I've never tried installing a custom bootloader or recovery, so unfortunately I can't answer that with any degree of certainty.

Yes. You can always upgrade by downloading firmware via a site like sammobile.com and flashing that via ODIN, or using Kies to automatically download the latest firmware and flash it to your device. Either of those methods will result in you losing root. If a root method exists for the updated firmware, you can re-root.

No. Screen mirroring (and possibly other features, but that's the only one I know of) will refuse to work if you have a custom recovery installed. You can get around this by reflashing stock recovery, or making an edit to a system file.

I don't believe there are any custom bootloaders available, but you can flash a custom ROM/recovery easily.

Decided to root... but how?
Okay, thanks guys. I've decided that I would like to take the plunge and root my tablet. However, I'm confused on how I should. What method should I use to root my tablet? I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 version NI1.
Would this still work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490805

Here you go, step by step.
There are also YouTube videos on rooting our tablets (albeit with different files for an earlier version) that show you the process. I like using them when rooting devices so I can visualize the steps and actually see how it's done rather than just reading about it.

AT&T Note 4 Temporary Root

I Finally Got Temporary Root On The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (and yes it is SuperSU, bit it does require KingRoot)
I Did It

can you post the software info page with the build for verification of which device it's on?

Like you want the build number?

BTW here is how to do it
https://youtu.be/Xr_2LQimK9I

This is temporary root which means that once you reboot you're going to lose root... Sadly not much new...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Meh, I know but it's better than nothing

Well if this is true it is new because it's on 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4. Going to give it a shot...
So I've tried twice now to root using Kingroot 4.8.0 on Android 5.1.1 and twice my phone has rebooted at the very end when I was trying to download SuperSUMe from the Playstore (did look like root was successful). Might have better luck if I factory reset my phone, but I'm not that interested in getting root.

I can verify that this indeed does provide a temp root on at&t note 4 v5.1.1
BUT! It causes the system to slow down and lag alot and the keyboard no longer works untill the phone is rebooted and when you reboot the samsung startup screen shows a padlock that says custom. So the guys at kingoroot have manged to find a small crack but it is to unstable to use at this time.
I did test out the root permissions on a few apps
1: es file explorer. (I was able to set rw permissions and move files from the internal to ext sd card and see root folders and files in the system)
2: lucky patcher (it was able to gain root and modify installed packages on the fly)
3: es task manager (i was able to acess the root features but changes did not stick)
My hope is maybe someone can learn from this and make the temp root more stable even if temporary (i kinda doubt it since gaining temp root seems to freak the system out causing glitches and stutters)

I obtain temporary root indeed the only I could achieve is, wipe bloatware and change font lol.... So far so good

Well remember, with Samsung changing the system on Android 5.1.1 now requiring a custom kernel to root one of their devices and knowing that AT&T locked the bootloader, this is the best we can get as of right now. Give the developers of KingRoot time because they have tried to root the note 4 without needing a custom kernel. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but give them time. We have wait this much for root. Why not wait a little bit longer for the root to stabilize?

Btw guys I rooted my note 4 on KingRoot v4.8.1, they haven't released this version on their website yet

And supersume pro probably won't work on this
I use the terminal emulator and a root script

There is a bounty regarding it, if they achieve completely root, 8,000 dollars are waiting for anyone achieving it

4.8.1 does stabalize things a little but i can guarantee just aboit that they are using a hole in the stock keyboard to obtain temp root i am going to experiment with non stock keyboards and see what happens from there. I also noticed that the phone gets hot when rooted

Does this temporary root allow the 910A to act as a wifi hotspot?
I was just about to list my Note 4 on Swappa. I can get by without root most of the time but when I need a hotspot, I really need it so I'm back on my Z2 for the moment.

At the moment NO temp root is not stable enough to reliably run long enough to enable and keep enabled wifi hotspot unless your carrier has opened that option. Lucky for me wifi teathering is included in my plan with at&t

Any way to run Xposed with this?

So is it available for download somewhere? Or will it be soon?

After delete all the bloatware it allow me to use Hotspot without need foxfi but I'm in Verizon so I couldn't tell you if it applies the same in at&t but I'm sure one of the program installed is the one that blocks or prevents Hotspot to work properly

I used Kingroot 4.8.1 (after you install 4.8.0 and open the app it tells you to update it) on my N910A and it got to 25% and failed? Happened a few times
