Reactivation lock

Hi,

I keep looking under security settings for the reactivation lock. But I don't see it. Can somewhere give me directions to it? On a youtube video. It was above the sim card lock. But on mine I only see encrypt external sd card. I'm not rooted. I only activated developer options.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It should be under - Settings - General - Security.

However - If you have flashed a Rom - it may have been removed...

Reactivation lock

Hi,

I saw the video. Thank you. I'm not rooted yet and I have 0 roms installed. Maybe its not there because I never locked my phone with anything yet?

I;m on a TMO

Rooted only

No Roms or recovery

I don't have it.

Reactivation lock

Hi,

Thank you. I kept reading warnings about it. So I was just making sure before I did any rooting. What tar file did you use for VEGA? I have these.

AP N900TUVU13M17

CSC N900TT1313M17

But did not see a file for them in the VEGA thread.

It's been long enough for me that the procedure has changed. There was only one file when I did mine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Rickdaddy:
So if we root using this method, will we still be able to get OTA updates with the stock rom and recovery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
No. You have to unroot couse your system will be "modified".

You don't need OTA. Download future Fw's from sammobile.com
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] wilflare:
Oops. I am very new to this whole thing. Note 3 is my first Android phone and this is my first time rooting.

yeap my phone is rooted via the Root La Vega method. but I was thinking of just unrooting and using the CF method (thinking of upgrading my MJ1 to MJ7) and just have KNOX tripped.

I was under the impression that with CF method, either CWM or TWRP will be installed.. allowing really for a one click experience.. haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] les_garten:
You'll have to install those separately.

Few things to try:

Reboot your pc and if still no joy, reboot your device by just long press the 3 combo buttons

be sure Kies isn't running at the back

Check your drivers are up to date

Redownload the auto root package.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alberto888zz:
Is there someone who makes a summary of the situation root? :)

1) The CF-Root triggers the counter Knox?

2) It's possible to do OTA updates with the CF-Root installed?

3) The CF-Root is also compatible with the latest firmware MJ7?

4) CF-Root or Vega root? Wich is better at the moment?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tkjeeper:
1 yes

2 no

3 not sure

4 my opinion, cf
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Just to add a little to tkjeeper's informative and concise reply....

Which is better - CF Auto Root, or Designgears DLV? - Both work for getting root (Firmware may be an issue - More so with designgears exploit - Since he "has left the building") Chainfire's root will trip Knox flags - But unless you're not planning on flashing a custom recovery (twrp or cwm), or any roms - it doesn't matter - Knox flags be damned ;)

Read the posts for Chr... sake! :eek:

1. Yes, yes, yes! It's stated all along from post 1!

2. No, no, no! Your system will be modified!

3. Yes, yes, yes! Several posts confirms this. And will probably also work on every future fw's.

4. If you don't care for knox, CF-Root is the easy way to go. When you flash new fw, CF-Root takes you 20 s. to flash afterwards..

So if i have MJ3 with cf-root and i want to update to the MJ7, how should I do?

Inviato da mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You could always check to see if MJ7 is available on Sammobile - Download it and flash with Odin... But I don't know if there have been any changes to the Bootloader (which may cause issues with getting root again?) Read some more posts on Chainfire's thread and find out some more information about MJ7, to determine if the update is going to give you additional benefits?

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
1. Download FW f.x. MJ7 at sammobile.com

2. Flash FW

3. Flash CF-autoroot

With me it was a fail due to the port on my 8.1 laptop. Even though restarting I was told to use Kies I went via download mode with success. BTW I used desktop Odin 3.07 after a recommend here rather than the one that comes with the root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] keirmccann:
tried a system reboot, installed kies drivers still fails at the exact point, tried every usb port hmmm maybe its the cable¬

What do you mean you

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

I lost the original cable in a hotel im assuming thats probably the problem????
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
Don't think it's the cable as any samsung certified USB data 2.0 cable should do, not just usb 3.0 that came with it.

How did you get to your current firmware if your only going for mj6/mj7, have you been able to successfully use Kies 3.0 beta at all with that cable ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] keirmccann:
initially i tried the vega method but that didnt work at all so i reverted to this one do i need to go back to stock?

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

odin worked via vega just didnt root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Bootloader MJ3, MJ6, MJ7 do not couse any issues to this root method.

Forget about it.

Just do it right.

Choose the right cf-root file for your phone

Use Odin 1.85.

Be shure you have samsung drivers on your pc

Make shure reactivation lock, if you got it, is deactivated on phone

Make shure settings/dev.options/usb debugging is chosen on phone

This root is very, very easy to do.

Just read the post of those who got it right.

There should be no issues at all.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

As long it"s micro usb it will work.

Edit

Use odin 1.85. Read OP carefully
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alberto888zz:
Why ODIN 1.85? :confused:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Hmm.. Is your FW carrier specific or national specific? If carrier specific, read the last paragraf of post 3.

If only national this method should work.

Do odin recognize your phone at all? Are you shure you got the Samsung drivers installed on your pc?

BTW, use the Odin version that came with the root file, 1.85..

Can anybody tell me how to install SuperSu User binaries manually?

I am rooted with superSu installed on my note 3. There is an update for SuperSu in play store. If i download that update, it tells me the binaries have to be updated...

I have the option between direct write method and recovery method.

Since i am still on stock recovery with knox 0x0 i would like to keep that. But if i try to do the direct write method its just saying waiting. i stopped after 15 minutes. And now everytime i open up the app i get the message to update binaries and cant do anything else.

can anybody pass me the files and tell me where to install it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
How do you know you got root?

How did you get it?

Konx would be 0x1 if you root with this method.

Did you only install SuperSu from Google Play?

Go to the tread where you got your root.

You probably have to install binaries in recovery. I'm not sure if can be done with stock recovery. If not you have to flash custom recovery. Either way I believe your binaries will be custom and knox will trip.

But actually these question doesn't belong here(!)
