Do you have USB Debugging enabled - Yes

Did you turn OFF the Reactivation Lock in Settings - Security? - I dont know, probably no ;/

You flashed the correct tar for your device? - Yes - CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900 for SM-N900 device

Well - For sure it's NOT going to work if you haven't turned off the Reactivation Lock in Settings - Security... Make sure that it's off and try again.

Hello guys. I'm a little new to the Note 3's community, and also new to the KNOX warranty problems.

I wanted to root the Note 3 but I do not know whether this version is supported in rooting with or without tripping the KNOX counter.

Need some help in this! Thanks. :)

Hi guys, sorry for my newbie question. I just rooted my phone and s view not working anymore :( . Before rooted it was working fine after the latest update by samsung. I noticed the baseband had changed. Previously it was N9005XXUENB4, now it shown N9005XXUENB1. Any idea what i should do now? Should i just use software update and get the latest download from samsung again?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Arkymedes:
Same for me :(

Tried the both 4.3 and 4.4.2 CF-Root versions but always get stuck in the "3 phrases" as the guys up there :/

Only solution is always to Odin flash the stock ROM...

Root for 4.4.2 N900t variant will be ready soon? Is using the 9005 exactly the same or I should wait for the official N900T and avoid the N9005?

I odin'ed back to stock to get the official OTA update to 4.4.2 on my N900T. After trying the N900T and N9005, none of them successfully root my phone. Stock on bootloop. Seems like the phone is trying to boot into recovery at startup. Is this due to N900T root is not updated for 4.4.2 yet?

UPDATE: Just re-odin'ed again using N9005 root, disabled auto-reboot in odin and manual booted into recovery. My N900T is now rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
What has booting in to recovery to do with anything? Could you not boot up normally and had to go recovery mode first?? Did you do something in recovery mode?

Is the phone working as it should in every way?

This seems dangerous to use 9005 file on 900T
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gwuhua1984:
Booting into recovery will flash the binary necessary for su/root. The phone was trying to boot into recovery after odin auto-rebooted my phone but couldn't. So follow Chainfire's note and manually boot into recovery by pulling the battery and then hold VOL UP, POWER and HOME to go into recovery. Once in recovery, everything will run by itself and you'll have root after. The root for 9005 definitely works for 900T. My phone is running normally like it did before, just xposed it while I was driving to work. If you want to be safe, just go download the kitkat stock firmware for N900T. Recovery bootloop is an easy fix by odin flashing stock firmware. All my data from 4.3 are still in place, it's like I'm using 4.3 but feels a lot faster and smoother. Not to mention that I'm getting LTE in places where I didn't before.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kevinrocksman:
I understand this.. just here is what I think is happening. The recovery.img file that is in the cf root file is out of date or something because the phone will not boot once you flash cf root but after flashing tarp manually after cf root I can boot both into system and recovery. So it almost sounds like the two that's in cf root is out of date and can't be used with mj4. So I tried to switch out the recovery img in cf root but I'm not sure how to

I believe you just download the recovery.img from TWRP website and just replace the current one. They have it for both bootloaders

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mdfpido:
Why is that whenever I use this to root my Note 3, my recovery, which should be CWM, is back to the stock recovery? So what I'm doing now to get a custom recovery such as Philz Touch, I'm downloading the .TAR version instead of the .ZIP which is more convenient. I could use CWM if only it sticks after rooting.

Anyone experienced and found a solution to this yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
I couldn't get cvm to stick either when I tried back in November. I used twrp. Worked first try. No hassle. And has been smooth sailing for all my flashing and backup needs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mdfpido:
How did you flash TWRP? Odin? Makes sense right? Since we can't flash the .ZIP versions of these recoveries because recovery is reverting to stock. But please do tell me still. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaycb420:
Your theory makes sense. Lol. But yes. Through Odin. Give me a second and I'll link you in the right direction.. Hopefully. Haha.

Cf-autoroot contains stock recovery and reinstalls it when flash. Always flash CWM AFTER Cf-autoroot.

This has been explained earlier in this thread many times.

The Cf-autoroot file is NOT outdated.

It works perfectly as it should.

I just flashed it on NB7 without issues and has never had issues on earlier versions either.

The last file however is for 4.4 bootloaders and if you're on 4.3 you must use the earlier file from the link below in the OP and follow directions to the letter.

TWRP recovery sticks just fine. You flash via ODIN the same way you did the ROM.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] antique_sonic:
Hi,

I want to root my device. I have gone through a lot consideration till I fixed my mind today.

Just to confirm first the step (I'm on MJ7 4.3 rom, which I believe with 4.3 bootloader).

Download the CFautoroot for N9005 with 4.3 bootloader zip

extract the zip, and then open ODIN 3.09 (I read few post that only this ODIN work).

put the .tar into PDA, and don't change any other option.

connect my device with USB debugging ON and Reactivation Lock OFF.

Click start, and let it finish and boot.

with the step above, my device will be rooted with stock recovery right ?

Did I miss any step from the list above ?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bdorr1105:
You are correct, however, all versions of ODIN worked for me. Debugging doesn't matter, the reason I say this is because your phone is supposed to be in download mode which from the phone being off, you press volume down, home button and power button and hold until the phone prompts you to press volume up to continue, once you do that ODIN should see your device and then you just flash the OTA. Once the ROM completes, it will boot and then you let it sit for about 5 minutes. Once it does that, reboot back into download mode to flash the Chainfire auto root. You will also need to ODIN a recovery if you plan on flashing a custom ROM. If you are staying with stock and just rooting then you are complete after you ODIN flash Root with chainfire
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] antique_sonic:
Thanks. :)

but, as I mentioned earlier... I'm still at 4.3 MJ7. So, if let's say I will just root it with the CFautoroot for 4.3 bootloader, and flash the chenglu CWM / Philz CWM. After that, if I want to flash a custom ROM of 4.4.2 kitkat, I read most of them need the 4.4 bootloader. Which mean I need to upgrade to 4.4 stock rom again to get the bootloader.

If I upgrade to 4.4 stock rom, will I loose the root & CWM ? and I need to start over again ?

Because if like that, might as well I update to 4.4 first, then do the rooting and recovery.

Am I right ? Or did I missunderstand something here?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
You loose root every time you flash stock firmware with pc Odin. And yes you need 4.4 bootloader to run 4.4 roms. Flash stock 4.4 FW and the right cf-autoroot file for 4.4 and at last custom recovery. Do not flash this before rooting cause the rooting file reinstalls stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] koskhandeh:
Very clever Samsung :) unfortunately I already updated my newly bought Note 3 out of the box 4.3 OTA to 4.4.2, this means I will most probably not be able to root the device for a whole year... Great, previously it took Samsung to give out a new android version half a year... As long as they found out there's a software (Kingo or something) which exploits a vulnerability in Knox to root the device without tripping the knox counter, they immediately gave out a new Kitkat firmware upgrade within only 2 months...

https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog/about-root-de-la-vega

My biggest frustration with not being able to root is seeing ads all over the place, and Samsung bloatware taking up so much memory... No really!!!!! I mean I feel I'm on a damn 5.7 inch supercharged iphone 6 :mad:

Waiting for a breakthrough dear Chainfire :crying:

Why can't you root...all of us upgraded to where you already were. All you have to do is follow this guide
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] antique_sonic:
hehe.

must be don't want to trip the knox.

I took a big consideration as well before decided. Coz so far, no root method can be done for the newer 4.3 bootloader & up, without tripping knox. But hell warranty. I don't give a damn anymore.

I have to admit total confusion. T-mo note 3. Just updated to 4.4.2 last night. Tried to root tonight. Followed directions to the T. Used odin for my vibrant. Already knew the ropes. Get stuck in boot loop.

If it hasn't already been posted here, when it says to press up to continue, or down to cancel, hit cancel and your phone will restart and boot normally. WHEW.. I know!

I am totally new, and may have missed something. Is there another way to root? Knox is tripped. Don't care.

I read that this root method is used in available roms. Am I going to get stuck in this boot loop if I try to install one of those roms?

I want root, and I want to get rid of this horrid stock samsung nightmare.

What am I missing?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hey_joe:
There's a thread in the Tmo section here. They will be more familiar with your phone should you run into unfamiliar issues.

But you can use this file in odin if all you wanted to do is root. I know it says it's for N9005 but somehow it works with different variants of N3 including mine which is N900W8. I'm guessing the one for tmo on the op hasn't been updated yet for 4.4.

Should the USB Debugging mode be enabled before the rooting process?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yes it has to be - also be sure that the Reactivation Lock is turned off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] raymund160:
Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bdorr1105:
I did not even touch usb debugging worked fine, usb debugging is for adb, not needed flashing via odin since in download mode it wouldn't even be recognized
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
What can I say... The device needs to be "seen" by the pc - and it's never worked for me, on any device unless USB Debugging was enabled...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bdorr1105:
Well I don't know just saying its a rom feature that in the phones recovery is not even used or recognized but its like the NFL commercial, its only weird if it doesn't work
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
The main thing is - whatever works for you ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] raymund160:
Oh, one more thing. Should I be plugging the device into the computer with USB Debugging mode off first so that it would install the device drivers? (Kies)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Haven't used Kies to download the usb drivers - I've always downloaded the drivers from Samsung USA.

CF Auto Root and Kies don't play nice with each other... So if you can get Kies to install the drivers - uninstall or disable Kies, BEFORE You use CF AUTO ROOT.

Here's a link to Samsung for the usb drivers

http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows

As for your question - I've always enabled USB Debugging before connecting to the pc... You will see the drivers being installed.. Then look on My Computer and Verify that you can see your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] raymund160:
So you, sir, are saying that plugging in the device with USB Debugging mode enabled will automatically install the device drivers without having to download the drivers itself?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If you're talking about using Kies... Maybe, but like I said, I've never used Kies.

If you download the drivers from the Samsung site.. You have to download them yourself to your pc.

After you have downloaded the drivers from Samsung - Enable USB Debugging on the phone and connect it to the pc - You should then see the drivers being installed for the device.

What's your ultimate objective, Root only, or do you want to flash a recovery & custom Roms?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] raymund160:
So without Kies, I should be downloading the device driver manually? (If I don't download the drivers manually and I don't have Kies, will drivers be automatically downloaded and installed?)

As for my ultimate objective for now, all I want is root privileges and a custom recovery like CWM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
No - You have to download the drivers yourself (don't know about Kies).

I would - Download the drivers from the Samsung link to your pc. Connect your phone to the pc - You will then see the downloaded drivers being installed on the pc.

Which device do you have? But regardless - You have to complete the step above.

Thanks. Is the SD fix required for NB7, or just NA6? Also, if I have any problems I can just reflash CM, right? Or does NB7 cause problems for CM like NA6 did when it first came out, since NB7 is so new (for Canada at least)? Ultimately I want to update to official 4.4.2, root and have it saved as a nandroid (which would also give me the newest modem), then go back to CM11 (and I'd keep the modem). Sometimes I go back to stock rooted for the camera, but I run CM11 mainly. It's the modem that I'm really after, but having stock in nandroid is nice to have.

Sorry for all the questions.

I got twice back to what I posted in post 1338 and reflashed Animalmo's ROM. I honestly do not know if modems work from stock to CM, but I agree with you that having a stock nandroid back up is always good to carry.
