Waiting for the firmware to download.

I'm just wondering, If i do that, would it increase KNOX to 0x2 or it stays 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Once Knox flag is tripped - I don't think it changes - but it doesn't matter as far as warranty - like being a "little pregnant".... ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
It is doing the same with freshly flashed stock after root.

Tried Omega rom - same problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Do you have:

1. Samsung usb drivers installed on pc?

2. Usb debug activated on phone?

3. Reactivation lock off on phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
Yes, all of them.

First two would be unrelated to the problem, IMHO as it is happening even after it is not connected to computer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
When you used Odin to flash CF-Autoroot - What did you have checked off - Auto Reboot... Anything else??
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
Do you mean off or on?

Audo-reboot was ticked, everything else was not (except for PDA, of course).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - That's what I meant. Which version of Odin did you use - 1.85?

Do you have TWRP installed on your phone?

If you do - Can you download a Custom Rom for your device - Reboot into Recovery - Wipe System and Caches - Flash the Rom..

Most Custom Roms have Root & SuperSu built in - And Wiping the System may solve your problem - Odin doesn't wipe anything when it flashes.. M
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
Did wipes before and after each flash with Odin - still the same.

Strange is it was doing it with freshly installed stock WITHOUT root so I finaly returned it to Amazon. Couldnt select a replacement option, but they said they've processed my refund so I'll buy a new one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
Flashing this keeps getting stuck at cache.img.ext4, with both the included odin 1.87 as well as 3.09. Have the correct file for my N9005. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Why would it be unrelated when you got stuck in Odin flashing process? Didn't it "freeze" you said?...

The restart issue was not on my mind on this... Sorry if I misunderstood..

The restart issue.. Did you try with alternative google account.. Farfetched I know...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
Odin stuck only the 1st time (have no idea why). It froze during the 'getting PIT for mapping' state and (as I've selected no PIT) it did no harm to the phone. Just unplugged, restarted notebook and phone and tried again - had no problems flashing since then.

As for the alternative account - didn't came to my mind to try that.

Anyway, I've returned it and I'm waiting for a new one.

I'm wondering if I should root it or wait until the KNOX warranty issue is finally permanently solved.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
If you live in Europa (eu), this should not be a problem since the laws here says waranty is still valid whatever knox status. This I learned by several xda postings about the issue..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xtzz:
That's sounds interesting.

I'll PM you about this so we'll not fill the thread with unuseful posts.

About CF-Auto-Root

we are in trouble?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
What could be trouble about this?

(MK2 successfully rootet without issues and with CWM recovery)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] fireedo:
So if I have SM-N900 with MK2 official firmware (OTA'ed) never root before can I use this root method safely without tripping KNOX?

and I never open KNOX and will never use KNOX
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Did you read the OP?

Knox flag WILL be tripped!

If you plan on doing much more than rooting your device - ie; custom recovery etc - Flag will be tripped regardless of the root method.

Search for designgears exploit to root without tripping the Knox flag - IF it's available for your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] fireedo:
sorry, I have read page one but still curious if newer firmware will have different result or something

anyway thx for your reply :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Knox counter will be tripped permanently regardless of firmware everafter.

Knox feature is a fundamental part of the Note 3 and a big selling point. It would never be left out of the firmwares.

Maybe there will be a hack that resets the counter in the future, but no one is even close to make that yet..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Wicked68:
Getting ready to root mines, but had a question first. Is the Root De la Vega method, no longer working? Because that thread is closed, and there are no links to the files. That method wad said to not trip the KNOX counter. Usually I wouldn't care, but I'm with TMO, and will be still paying for the phone, so would like be able to get a replacement if need be, so would like KNOX to stay untripped, haha. I'm looking to run rooted Stock, no custom ROMs as of yet. Let me know. Thanks.

I didn't use designgears exploit - I don't know if it's current - or for your device?

But if you want to do much more than rooting - Use Cf-AutoRoot - As far as warranty..... Some people say that they don't know how to check / or don't. If the device won't turn on - They can't check.

Uhm - No idea about the total number of people who have flashed CF AUTO ROOT - But There's 100s if not 1000s of people who have used it.

If you follow the instructions in the OP for your device - You shouldn't have any problems.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Judging from the fact that others have been successful - I'd say user error - What's the cryptic message? Did you have the Reactivation lock turned off? Did you flash the correct file for your device? Did you try again / another USB port?

Did you use root de la vega? Did it trip knox? I thought mk2 onwards trips knox? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] anandpo:
Yes it triped the knox. As there is no alternative method available right now to get root without tripping knox for mk2 (as far as I know), I went ahead with rooting the device after waiting for looong 3 months.

Moreover, tripping knox is nothing to do with your phone's efficiency except the warranty thing. FYI my phone model is sm n900. I rooted it for adaway and to use exposed modules on the stock rom and kernel. That's it.

Regds
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Tripping Knox alone want influence with system efficiency but rooting the phone seems too cause system instability, like reboots, and some file system corruption. At least that is what I read here in forums. That is the only reason why I am still waiting to root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] ultramag69:
Didn't for me...

I had that with stock unrooted rom. Found one I liked and didn't have problems, rooted and haven't looked back...

On an unrelated note, I was wondering if the galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (lte or Snapdragon 800 CPU only) could use this to gain root access. There is a glaringly small amount of developement for the LTE version of it and it has been compared to the note 3 as very similar.

Hope Chainfire might look into it - please - cause I need root...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] anandpo:
No. Rooting doesn't result in any of these like reboots, instability, etc. It's because someone plays with the system files without proper understanding on a rooted device.

And knox is designed for system security rather than system efficiency.

If due to this false reason you are "still waiting to root" then your wait will be forever.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] !crazy:
It looks to me like you are trying to be a smartass. What do you know about knox? Have you developed it? No one is talking about knox here in that regard.

What you said about rooting and stability, while it may be true, your certainty is just silly to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] anandpo:
Sorry boss I intended to help. But your choice of words like smartass without any provocation shows what type of ass you are. I am not here to argument.

Cf-root is root + recovery

Cf-autoroot is ONLY root. Keeps stock recovery.

CF Root is to flash with the CWM and CF Auto-Root with Odin. Both variants tripped the KWV.

You can root with CF-autoroot. Choose the file for N9005.
