Thanks man, your such a help. 1 more quick one, I installed xposed, can I use nottach or wanam or even 3minit to do some customizations?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I'm happy that it's working out for you!

Sure you can use Xposed & Wanam - I'm not familiar with the other two...

Have you thought about flashing a rom - ie; Wicked or Jedi? Both of them are awesome, and include Xposed etc...

Just be ABSOLUTELY certain to have a couple of nandroids - I keep one on my external sd card & one on the internal.... Just in case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
So I flash twrp same way in Odin as I did to root? I do want to try a rom but gonna get used to this phone abit more first. And do I use the same version Odin I used to flash root or download the newer odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Pretty much - Here's a youtube video - it's for the S4 - but it's exactly the same thing...

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
ok i watched the youtube vid, followed the directions buddy says. When i click to download the img from goomgr, it says my file is downloading on the page but its not downloading on my phone. Im trying again and we will see what happens.:)

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

Yeah tried again and no go. Says "your download is now starting" but never starts. Hmmmm
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Ok - Sorry - Wrong video - Goo manager is still having issues right now...

You have downloaded the img tar file that I linked you to (hltcan 2.6.3.7) On to your pc?

Save the img tar file to your desktop (on the pc).

Open Odin - select PDA - Open the img tar file into the PDA slot on your pc. The only thing that should be checked in Odin is Auto Reboot!

Ensure that your phone has usb debugging enabled.

Boot your phone into download mode.

Connect your phone to the pc - Click Start in Odin - wait about 10 seconds - Once your phone has rebooted - disconnect the phone.

Reboot into Recovery and make a backup.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Thanks again man, i know alot of ppl get mad at people asking noob stuff, i appreciate it all!

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

Yeah i downloaded the file. Do i extract it or leave it zipped? I tried extracting it and it comes out a cd looking file called recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Make a new folder on your desktop on the pc - drag the img tar file into the new folder and extract there - you should end up with a file on the desktop that is a tar file ~11.5MB

In Odin - you should see something like c:\users\YOUR NAME \DESKTOP \OpenRecovery - twrp - 2.6.3.7 - hltcan.img.tar.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
No matter what i do i cant get it to end in a .tar file.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
It worked but now when i boot into recovery, the teamwin screen just hangs. Pulled the battery twice. Trying again...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Well - How long is it hanging?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
I let it go for maybe 5-7 mins
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Did you verify that you have root - and SuperSu?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
I did. I have super su and used root checker. When I open SuperSu it says Knox has been detected blah blah blah. Says something about fixing something, I just clicked no or cancel it asks if I want to try disable Knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
And you are with rogers - SM-N900W8?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Yup! SuperSu asks if I want to try disable Knox. Should I click yes?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Had you enabled Knox before you rooted.? - in which case - I'd say yes

Or install titanium backup - and freeze EVERY element of Knox that you can find - And reboot - Then reboot into Recovery and try to backup.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
No I never went into the Knox setting on my phone because I knew not to mess with it.

---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

Ok installing
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It's strange - because I was able to use twrp to make my first nandroid - and Knox was included in the backup....

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Ok +click to disable Knox - Reboot once - Then reboot again into Recovery and try to backup again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Ok freezing didn't work after reboot, Still hanging. I'll try the click to disable knox in the morning I guess, I gotta head out for abit but I will post back as to what happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Ok - let me know what happens..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gen00:
Getting my T-Mobile Note 3 soon.. Wanna know if I gemot the steps right..

Use CF-Auto-Root to root the device by following the steps in the OP

Then I can use Odin to flash a custom recovery -- don't care about Knox

Then I can flash a ROM which is gonna be Jedi Elite v5

Do I need to download supersu in app store or is that included when I use CF-Auto-Root?

I think that sounds right.. Hope it sounds right if it don't please help me out so I don't brick my note 3..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The SuperSu binary and apk are installed by CF Auto Root.

BEFORE you flash any roms - make a backup with the custom recovery!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] blumsen:
I hope someone has a quick answer.

I want root, but otherwise I want to stay as close to stock as possible, including flashing OTA updates etc.

Can I flash CF to gain root without it messing with other stuff? I don't care about tripping KNOX and losing the KNOX funcionality, but does it also mess with fx future updates of the OS, bootloader etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] chuko303:
What's up with the Knox thing? Some roms say "knox free"
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Knox is Samsung's Enterprise Security Software - It doesn't work with Rooted phones, Custom Recovery & Custom Roms - Since it won't work with these conditions (possibly causing additional issues if left) Devs remove Knox from the Rom - Alternatively - If you don't flash a custom Rom - it's best to at least freeze knox with TB.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
I get a "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message in red then boots to recovery but hangs at teamwin screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
There has been a lot of issues with TWRP on Note 3. I don't know if it's more or less sorted now, but you can also flash the other recovery option CWM wich has been as good as trouble free..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Ignore the message that you see in Red (You see it because the stock kernel is SELinux enforcing - And TWRP is not - It's Normal)

Try reflashing the TWRP img tar file on your phone using - Recovery Tools app from the store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edium=organic&utm_term=recovery+tools+android
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
So how do I go about installing cwm? Download the app? I found this, right?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Go to CWM thread for Note 3, download and flash it using Odin. Just follow instructions carefully in the first posts and reading the thread answers any of your question that might come..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
When I use the recovery tool to search for the tar file I can't see it anywhere now

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Oh man this is PITA! These note 3's are a headache. Still can't see the tar file using recovery tools.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It should be in SD Card /Goomanager
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
But remember I can't download through goo mgr.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - But did you look there - I can't remember exactly - but I'm pretty sure that I didn't use goo manager to install twrp on my phone - I'm almost certain that I used Odin to flash it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Yeah I looked and nothing. Maybe I should re try odin later or just try cwm?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
And not in SD card / download?

Yeah - I'd use Odin again for TWRP... CWM doesn't look like it's being used for the SM-N900W8 or the SM-N900T.... At least as far as I can see...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Ok. Yes I can see the file in esfile but when I look for in the the recovery app I can't see it. In esfile if I click on the file it says cannot open
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You don't want to open the img tar file with es file explorer (I use Root Explorer). You would just want to flash the img tar file with the Recovery Tools app.

Just in case there was an issue with the img file that you downloaded yesterday (I doubt it - but you never know) - I've uploaded the hltcan twrp recovery to my Dropbox again

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dh3b9s8zae7c0n1/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-hltecan.img-2.tar

Odin is still the best method for flashing the recovery - Although other people who have used Recovery Tools - Say that it worked fine for them...

You are using Odin 1.85?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Yup yesterday I used 1.85 I'll try odin when I get home. Thanks for the help. Will post update later on
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Ok - One other thing - When you opened up SuperSu - Did it tell you that you needed to update the Binaries?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
No but I'll check again. Nope just checked again and didn't ask
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Oh ya just so you know, I still have knox frozen in titanium. Don't think that makes any difference but just saying..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Can't remember if I asked - But in System Settings - General - About Device - Build Number - You did click on it 7 times, until you get Developer Options ENABLED?

And then - In Developer Options - You have it set to On - With USB Debugging enabled?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Just got home, reinstalled through odin, works now. Wow iv never had this much of a messaround with my s3 or s4. So im gonna make a backup, can anyone suggest a sweet rom for a N900W8?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Good to hear!

Yeah - Wicked & Jedi are both Awesome ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeroc1982:
Where abouts are these Roms you speak of?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:

Thanks!!! Ah ok i was looking everywhere but there. All the TMO are compatible for us canadians?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Most of the T-Mobile roms should be - The two that I linked are Definitely fine for us Canadians - Flashing them WILL change the Device Name of your phone to SM-N900T (You can edit it in the build.prop - IF it bothers you - But it has NO effect on your phone) ;)

And - At the moment - There's Nothing for us in the at&t or ANY of the other Forums... Locked bootloaders is the issue...

Why you hate odin? it works and it's simple.

Honestly dude only messed w it twice but those 2 times it was heart racing. I'm going to do this auto root, but I'm hearing twrp is not a good recovery ? And I should odin cwm. If that's so can't we just install the app and from their install the recovery. Simple and easy.

TWRP is working fine - Just make sure that you get the correct version for your device & carrier.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] chuko303:
Is downloading trwp through their app safe?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If you mean - Installing TWRP through goo manager.... It's not an issue of safety - It's more like an issue of - is goo manager working at the moment....

You can download the latest version of TWRP from goo's site / teamw.in or from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2

Using Odin to flash TWRP is a 5, maybe 7 second process ;)

Thanks, I ran into the same problem... will try your solution now :)

Edit: Worked like a champ! my N900T is now fully rooted, very cool. Something that didn't make sense was that the secureboot showed enable, when it worked for root, but that when it hung up, that it didn't show enable. very strange for me to see the secureboot toggling on its own between the two modes. Either way, I am happy that this unit is now rooted, thanks to all :)

That'll only work 'til the first lawsuit (which may be years, as who would spend the time and money ?) as they have no legal right to this in the EU.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] amnesia:
thinks should be super easy but sadly things got F-ed up for no reason.

Hoping that someone can help me out.

I'm on a SM-N9005 model

Reactivation lock off:

Knock kernel lock 0x0

I also see on the Odin mode screen that it says

"Write protection: Enable" (not sure if that's important).

On the Box the phone says sm-n9005zwexs

I downloaded the drivers from http://stockroms.net/file/Drivers/Samsung/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe (which is what all sites I've checked recommended).

I've tried different USB ports.

I'm using the USB 3 charger that came with the Note 3

Now I followed the instructions by downloading Odin, going into "odin mode" on the device, the phone is detected and I select the CF-Auto Root file after clicking on PDA (in Odin 3) and sadly I end up getting a fail (specifically when it gets to 40% of the progress bar on the note 3). Since I have an N9005 I used this CF Auto Root file http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip

Now when I tried to reboot my phone, I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 3"

When I try and launch KIES 3, it says that the mobile phone is not supported -_-

I really don't know what to do.

What's the deal with Efs backup? What is it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The EFS folder is Extremely Important - It contains the ime number of your device - It's the Unique I.D. of the phone - Your phone will not work without it!

So why shouldn't we restore it made 2 backups with the following things checked

1. Boot

2.data

3.system.

Didn't backup the EFS folder would that make my phone go into the bootloop if I don't restore it or if I do? In deathstalker ROM it states not to restore EFs

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] paulschofield76:
Can someone please explain what the efuse is? I've tried searching a lot and found lots of contradicting answers, so I thought I'd come to the place where people has most likely rooted their Note 3.

I'm not fussed about a flag reading 0x1 instead of 0x0, the warranty or using the Samsung Know container. I just want to buy, root and rom.

Is it possible for the knox flag or the efuse to cause physical damage? Daft question maybe, but some sites (can't remember which, been Googling for days) have said yes. Some compare it to a resistor being physically burned out.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Efuse is just Geek speak for tripping Knox flag & warranty - Not remotely similar to a resistor being burned!

The only way that flashing CF Auto Root could "physically damage" your phone - is if you drop it into a blender - Because you got so excited!
