Thanks.

Progress report, since I had a few bumps along the way and maybe this will help someone (long story short: don't install KingRoot; if you did uninstall it first before proceeding).

Downloaded the necessary files. Minor notes:

* new Odin versions replaced PDA button with AP

* first time upon restarting my device was stuck on the Samsung logo. After another restart it was fine - all screens looked like on the video, no errors...

Until there is was a new problem: SuperSU gives me an error "SU Binaries occupied" and root keeper app reported problems with root. Restarting didn't help, so I did a factory reset+wipe cache, and tried to install root again. This time I used Odin 3.09 instead of 3.11 I tried before. Same as before, got the Odin's green PASS after about two minutes, but the device was stuck on the Samsung logo (after 15 minutes I did a manual reboot). The second time SuperSU opened properly, tried updating the binaries, but seems it has an issue with KingRoot. It tried to update its binaries, but found 'other' superuser devices and complained it could cause conflict (interesting how KingRoot survived the factory reset). I told SSU to uninstall KR, through it didn't seem to do it (KR is still in the menu). Still, it progressed to complaining about KNOX next (I told it to disable it, but it seems to have gotten SU stuck on that - after x of the 'disabling KNOX' msg persisted for 10 minutes I restarted SSU and told it to ignore KNOX). Then I rebooted the device SSU wanted to, and it went into updating binaries again; there were no messages about superuser conflict but it complained about KNOX; tired to disable it and after few second got error 'failed to disable knox'. Restarted SSU, it tries to update the binaries 'Installing, please wait'. Get 'Installation failed error'. Sigh.

As I trust SuperSU more than KingRoot, which looks like it has some weird-were including ads and so on, I finally uninstalled KingRoot from its own option menu, but it seems it also got rid of SuperSU and the root. Sigh.

So, I tried to root the system for the third time using the steps here. This time the process did not end up installing SuperSU. After manual install it wants to update the binaries again. Installation success! Reboot as recommended by SSU.

Titanium Backup asks for and receives root rights from SSU. Guess I am done.

Hey Chainfire! I was trying to do your tutorial on my n900w8, but when I'm in Odin, there is no option for PDA or repartion or auto reboot or anything. What do I do? I'm confused. Thanks if you reply!

Hey! You're another n900w8 user! I need help on how to root and custom rom my W8. How did you do yours? There's no option for PDA or repartition or anything in Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
First of all - Please don't quote the OP ?

Second - I don't use CF Auto Root - I Flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 img.tar with Odin 3.12.3 - Nandroid the Stock Firmware - Flash SuperSU v2.82 - Download the Rom & Gapps (if you're Flashing an AOSP Rom) - Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP 3.1.1-0 - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps - Flash SuperSU v2.82 or Magisk if you prefer - Reboot and Setup.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] turtleboyy:
Okay sorry but that made no sense. Sorry I'm really new to this and I just used Odin to get cf auto root. Now if I wanted to get lineageos how would I don't that? Ty in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Go to Twrp.me and download the img.tar for your device to your computer - Download SuperSU v2.82 and download it to your phone & copy it to the external sd card - Download the Rom you want to Flash to your phone and copy it to the external sd card - Download GApps - I suggest you use Open Gapps arm 7.1 Nano and copy it to the external sd card.

Download Odin 3.12.3 to your computer (if you don't already have it).

Copy the TWRP img.tar to AP in Odin 3.12.3 - You should ONLY have Reset Time checked in Odin - NEVER have a Check in Repartition! Pull the Battery and put it back in WITHOUT powering up your phone - Boot into Download Mode - Connect your phone to the computer -and wait for the PC to see the phone (Blue box in Odin) and click Start - Wait for the Green Pass and disconnect the phone - Boot into TWRP Recovery and Nandroid the Stock Firmware.

You probably should Google YouTube on how to Flash TWRP img.tar and How to Flash Custom Roms etc ?

Edit: You also want to make sure that you are on the latest Bootloader and Modem for your Device and Carrier - Probably easier to do Before you do the above - ie Update from your Carrier using the Firmware OTA updates - or Kies.

Okay before I do all of this, I used Odin to root my phone and now my physical back button doesn't work. Can you help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Was / Is the physical back button working before? If it was - Try Rebooting it. If it isn't / wasn't working properly then I've got no idea other than getting it fixed?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] turtleboyy:
Yeah it was working before but I found a temporary solution by downloading this bag bar app. Thanks for trying to help ? really appreciate it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I've never seen the hw keys stop working after Flashing TWRP with Odin... Strange!

FYI - Some of the Nougat Roms that you might want to Flash - ie: Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 5.8.4 Unofficial (Awesome Rom btw!) will require you to use TWRP hlte instead of hltecan - You don't have to use Odin to Flash it - Just download TWRP 3.1.1-0 hlte from twrp.me and Boot into TWRP Recovery - Bottom Right on the Install screen you'll see an img Tab - Click on it - Select Recovery (NOT Boot Image!) and then select TWRP .img hlte and Swipe to Flash.

Doesn't work for my phone. Did everything exactly as in the manual. Redone everything four times using different Odins. Every time I get the same result - the phone is rooted and everything works perfectly fine except the buttons. The context menu and the back do not work. The context menu seems to do something different while the back doesn't even light up. Now downloading the original firmware.

By the way, the copy of Odin included in the Canadian package doesn't have the PDA button. So following the manual to the letter is impossible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Check this Thread by Chainfire - BTW you probably should be using Odin 3.12.3....

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cthulchu:
it turns out little does it matter what odin to use and whether to flash using pda or ap. Every version I tried worked the same way and I never tried the one you mentioned. Lol :)

The buttons issue wasn't Odin related. Looks like samsung fcked up. There is a good fix in the troubleshooting subforum here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Yes and no.

Read the forum and you will see sometimes its not always as you say from your very limited testing.

I had a few issues originally trying the cf autoroot, then I decided to try a different USB port (not USB 3.0) along with a non usb 3.0 cable, and the viola, it worked perfect, but i also used Odin 3.07. give that a try. I found trying to use my USB 3.0 cable was causing more problems than solutions with most things I have tried with the pho e. Best of luck

Can I somehow root my phone without computer? I don't have it. I try kingroot,kingoroot and towell and everyone failed. Can anyone help me with this? Or explain me the best and working way without computer?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Kingroot - Towelroot etc are all crap and quite possibly loaded with spyware/malware.

If you don't have a computer - Go to a friends place or borrow a laptop.

You'll need to Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.7 etc ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tze_vitamin:
Can I somehow install first twrp recovery and from recovery root my phone with supersu. Zip?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If you're asking if you can install TWRP Recovery using the Stock Samsung Recovery the answer is No - If you're going to ask if you can use the TWRP App from the store - The answer is No. If you're going to ask if you can Flash SuperSU zip with the Stock Samsung Recovery - The answer is No.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tze_vitamin:
So you telling me that there is no other safe way to root my phone without PC?

I search everything,read posts all day.. try with everyone app that I found and it's the same error. Can't root..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Some custom roms include or do not need root but do need custom recovery .
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=3095420]JJEgan[/MENTION] is right - Thing is that to Flash a Custom Rom you need to have a Custom Recovery - And I haven't used CF Auto Root for years now - Flash TWRP img.tar - Flash SuperSU and Done ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Needs a PC ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tze_vitamin:
I just want to flash custom recovery first and then from custom recovery to root phone.

If is that posible.

But I can't find any way how to do that on note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If that's a question for me?

He can't use the TWRP App without Root - He can't use Flashfire without Root - And I don't know of any other way to install TWRP other than Odin - Right now he's got a chicken that can't lay any eggs ?

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

What I've been saying all along is that you need a computer to Flash the TWRP img.tar with Odin and then you can do pretty much everything - If you had Root you could use TWRP App to install TWRP But you don't - It's like saying you want an omelette but you don't have any eggs or even the chicken...

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tze_vitamin:
One more question, can I use mobile Odin to root phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
NO!

Mobile Odin requires a Rooted device & Before you ask - FlashFire also requires a Rooted device.

This is clearly stated in the Play Store description of both applications!

Just Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.7 - Then Flash SuperSU SR5 v2.82 and Done - I haven't bothered using CF Auto Root for years ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Antony2703:
Can you explain me where i need to put TWRP file and SuperSU file in Odin? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
TWRP img.tar goes in the AP slot - You don't Download SuperSU to your computer - You download it to your phone and save / copy it to the external sd card on your phone - You'll need it after you Flash TWRP img.tar - You might want to Google "How to Flash TWRP and Root your SM-N900x and watch a couple of YouTube videos - You'll find that very helpful ?

IMPORTANT - You should also Move EVERYTHING you need or want to keep to your external sd card or Computer - You will likely have to Factory Reset your phone and Format Data & this will wipe the internal storage of your phone!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] valerouder:
I though CF Auto Root did not cause any loss of data, so why is what you suggest better if one has to Factory Reset and wipe the internal storage of your phone ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Because the method posted March 27th always works - AND you may (SHOULD) have noticed the Bright Red Notice in the OP that says "Deprecated"... That's why - Not to mention that Wiping & Formatting Data ensures that your device does not have any unwanted / unneeded data which may conflict with Flashing any Roms should you decide to Flash Custom Roms going forward ??

Note: Flashing ANYTHING on your device is ALWAYS at your own RISK.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJEgan:
<Note: Flashing ANYTHING on your device is ALWAYS at your own RISK >

That risk is multiplied many times for those that refuse to read and learn .
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] valerouder:
I just asked a question, why am I being bashed.

I am not a "latest and greatest", but a "keep till wheels fall off" type person. I am still happily using a Note 3 (and therefore could care less about warranty), so the if the old method worked back then, it should still work fine now whether the site is still up or not.

Also all these one click root sites are popping up everywhere, like Kingo, king, one click root etc. which who knows what they install on the phone and what data they collect.

Anyway, I just want to have admin access to my device, without spam/malware installed on it as part of the process.

Being a Note I don't want any custom rom, as I like to be able to use the pen ... but there are tons of pre installed apps I don't want and want to remove.

So I want root to be able to install any app I want (including Titanium BU), to remove bloatware etc, but not to play around with other custom roms

I understand I could brick it, a risk I'm willing to take on a 5 year old, worthless phone, but I would prefer a method that, if successful, does not cause loss of data or require me to do a factory reset. I just want admin access.

Thanks for your input.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tefloncoated:
Hi all,

I have been out of the tinkering and rooting game for a few years... but recently cracked my primary phone and had to go back to my old, but still working, Note 3 (N900A - the AT&T version). Last time i used it was several years ago and looks like i ended up factory resetting and updating from 4.4.1 to 5.0...

So now i am trying to research the subject again and looks like a lot of old methods are no longer valid... Here are my questions:

- URDLV no longer works?

- This link doesnt seem to work either? androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900a

- What about Odin? odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-12-7

- How do i flash TWRP onto my N900A now?

- I am not even sure my bootloader is still unlocked at this point?

Could someone kindly point me in the right direction for further research?

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.13.1 from twrp.me for your device - You need to have Samsung USB Drivers installed on your computer as well as the TWRP img.tar - Boot into Download Mode & Flash TWRP - If you want Root you can still use SuperSU or Magisk - Bootloader should still be unlocked... Just enable USB Debugging on your phone ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tefloncoated:
Thank you! I did a bit more digging and i think i am 90% there. I cant seem to figure out the critcal 10% - is my AT&T (version N900A, baseband N900AUCUEOC2, Kernel version 3.4.0-4335446, Build number LRX21V) compatible with any of the versions for devices listed on https://twrp.me/Devices/?

Any guidance there? Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JJEgan:
You could try/ ask in the forum for your device if a problem .

Nothing listed for N900A probably due to locked bootloader.

Ok so I followed all the steps to do this, and it did work! Partially. To test if this actually worked, I went to Lucky Patcher and tried to find the switch "Signature verification always true", which is only available to people who rooted their phone. It wasn't there. I also went to the Android built-in terminal and tried a command only accessible to root users. The terminal returned "Must be root." What's going on?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r0mushii:
this implementation is superbly old, and no wonder that it barely works

current version of magisk(v23 at the time of writing this) still supports at least android 5.0 so you can use that, you only need a current version of twrp recovery to flash it

as for patching signature verification, use alternatives instead of using the smiley face app (which is a taboo in the community) that barely works. though i can recommend using smali patcher for disabling signature verification, but it only supports at least android 6.0 so your mileage may vary on using this on legacy versions
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:

Impact of CF-Autoroot on SMN900T variant

For those curious, here's what I got after applying CF-Autoroot to my T-mo N3 via Odin3.07 on Windows8:

Counter - 0

Binary - Custom

System - Official

Knox Warranty Void - 0x1

OTA - Fails w/ message "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available."

About Device / Status - Reports 'Custom'

Device Encryption - Fails with no indicator; just reboots unencrypted

ExchangeServerSecurity - Due to above, accounts requiring encryption won't complete setup process

I can live without OTA (this is XDA after-all), but I'd like to stay close to stock because of S-Pen goodness. Use of encryption and access to ExchangeServer accounts are must-haves for me, so this outcome was a surprise. The device was previously encrypted (due to personal preference & required by Exchange Server policy). I removed the encryption via Data/Factory reset before applying CF-Autoroot.

I'll retrace my steps to see if I missed anything in the instructions. I'm unsure if the encryption/Exchange failure is due to the Knox Warranty Void status or the Binary status. In the mean time, if you need encryption/Exchange, this might not be the route to root for you.

Thank you Chainfire for your continued work, and suggestions welcome ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Warrior1975:
Just want to add, flashing stock image via odin does not restore system status, it remains custom. I tried using odin and kies, multiple times. Of course, Knox is still 0x1. Just wanted to give a heads up to those unaware.

That being said, I'm sure CF will figure something out. Thanks again for your awesome contributions bro.

It does but Factory Data Reset is required :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] neoKushan:
To be honest, I had missed that part and this is where a lot of the confusion has come from. I was originally asking exactly this, I thought that's what CF-Auto-Root was supposed to do. From CF's response above, it looks as though the original intention was indeed to restore as much to stock as possible, but there is some odd behaviour on the SM-N9005. In other words, CF-Auto-Root is not doing exactly what it's supposed to but at least it's granting root correctly.

Yes, this is how I understood it as well. The only thing to add to this is that the Knox counter will ALWAYS be set to 0x01 the second you install a custom recovery, ROM or Kernel.
