[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tschulieh:
Just to clarify what happens when you flash cf autoroot.

To make cf autoroot working, during the installation process a modified recovery is flashed-otherwise rooting isn't possible yet.

This recovery flash will change status from official to custom.

The Knox counter doesn't raise when you only flash a modified recovery, it happens when this modified recovery is used.

As you know now, this process triggers the binary and Knox counter to raise. (no more otas, some Samsung apps will detect the custom status and not work anymore)

After the root injection, stock recovery is reflashed, but the counters won't reset automatically.

For the binary/system status normally triangle away will work, but not for now.

But there seems to be another possibility.

No guarantee as I never tried the following:

Flash back stock recovery and afterwards a full wipe will reset the system/binary status to official.

So probably ota s will work (but perhaps Knox interferes?!)

(For me it was always enough to delete data of syscope and enterprise syscope in TB and reboot to restore official status. (worked for me on S3,S4, Note2 and note8)

Don't know if this works on note 3 too?!)

ATTENTION:

Till now it is impossible to reset Knox counter (perhaps will never be) So root only if you are aware of the above. :thumbup:

Some last words :D

I'm sure if Knox counter is not e-fuse, sooner or later one genius from xda will find a way to reset it.

If we find another possibility to inject root without flashing and using modified recovery (a method like framaroot) we will have root without Knox 0x1 ;)

Sorry for the frequent word repetitions, but I tried to explain this as noob friendly as possible :p

Rooting Note 3 on Linux using Heimdall

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 on an aged Dell XPS M1210 and have the Rogers Canadian LTE Variant (N900w8), and was initially a little stuck until heading over to #galaxy-note-3 on Freenode - the fruits:

Obtain Heimdall - both 'Command Line' and and 'Frontend'

Put device in Download mode - hold VolDown&Power&Home - and connect it via USB (I used the USBv3 cable that came with the phone)

sudo heimdall-frontend

Download your .pit from the Utilities tab in Heimdall - this is the partition information required for the necessary tabs to ungrey themselves

Reboot back to Download - grabbing the .pit "uses up" the Download instance, and you'll get initialization errors if you don't reboot

Rename cf-auto-root.tar.gz.md5 to cf-auto-root.tar.gz and extract it

Go into Heimdall's Flash tab and load the .pit, and the 2 files from cf-auto-root as CACHE and RECOVERY (should be self-explanatory)

Flash

Any one tried to use Xposed based on this CF-Auto-Root? I tried on my N9002. Root explorer and others works fine. But there is a error occurred when I applied a module in Xposed. It said "cannot write to /data/xposed/module.list" and "cannot write to /data/xposed/module.whitelist". I'm not sure it's Xposed issue or CF-Auto-Root. Please help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mikegrmn:
I was a little hestitant so far to add Xposed as it was suggested to make a nand-backup before installing (and compared to my razr HD, I only have root on my N3). But I will try it later today and report back what happened.

I just tried it because I have the version I used on my razr HD still on my SD-Card which I popped into my N3. I get "cannot read /data/xposed/modules.whitelist". After googling the issue, I decided for now to wait as I'm at work and don't want to end up with an unusable phone ;)

I've noticed over on the AT&T thread here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46270076

That It seems possible to get root - without necessarily tripping the Knox flags?

I'm wondering if it's possible to apply the part of the rooting process used for the AT&T N3 which may avoid the Knox issue - to the other N3 variants? I of course know that the AT&T version has it's own challenges with the locked bootloader - But perhaps this problem has resulted in "necessity being the mother of invention" and could possibly benefit the other N3 variants?

Hi guys,

I have a question. Firmware update via Kies is available for my phone. If I'm rooted (using auto root by CF) and update the phone via Kies to MJ1, will the root go away? If it does, will flashing the auto root again restore it?

Beautiful, thank you!

I'm going to ask a really stupid question now (apologies for the noobishness) but what's the best way to flash this? I'm not used to Samsung devices, previously what I'd do is boot up TWRP or CWM and flash it via that but as far as I'm aware, it's better to use ODIN, right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Warrior1975:
That's the odin version, so yes, use odin. If it's a tar file, use odin. Zips (unless they are zipped because they are compressed), use custom recovery.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ettepetje:
Hi, since this is a rooting topic and in fact the very topic I used to root my phone I'd like to mention the following:

Rooting your phone in a way that sets the "knox warranty" flag will very probably void your warranty. I got told at a service center that this is the case in my country (the Netherlands), and I read the same from several people in other countries as well. In itself just a risk like many you take in life.

In my case I discovered an unpleasant multitouch defect in my Note 3 the next day which is still largely unknown and also might affect you. If you are planning to root your phone please try the following beforehand, it can do little harm.

PLEASE FOLLOW BELOW LINK TO THE ORIGINAL TOPIC AS IT IS UPDATED, CONTAINS VIDEOS AND A POLL:

Multitouch problems on Note 3 (Updated test procedure + videos)

Thanks! Happy rooting/modding...

Sir its humble request from one of member of boot loop family. As you know many new galaxy note 3 xda member hard bricked there phone while making restore from nandroid backup. Can you look in this matter...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bdorr1105:
That was the easiest rooting process I have ever done. EVER! Thanks for the easy guide.

I replaced the version of ODIN in this zip with Odin3 v3.04 and it worked perfect. I packaged it up in a zip file. I think it helps reduce risk for something to go wrong and its a stable version.

I was rooted in 15 seconds
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PeterGuru:
I was one of them ...

Sadly, I was one of those unfortunate souls. I got my Note 3 last Friday, on release day, rooted it using CF-AUTO-ROOT, tried desperately to solve the indexing issue, which kept popping up every 1-2 minutes, a total of at least 100-200 times. Well, as I have done hundreds of times in the past, I did a nandroid before attempting to solve the problem.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I "had" to restore my TWRP backup, but it didn't work. Bricked the phone. Fortunately, I have a great relationship with my local dealer and they gave me a full refund for the device. Unfortunately, though, they had no more in stock, and neither did any other store in the area ... so I'm still waiting for a replacement. Perhaps this Saturday.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] neoKushan:

I, like you, got the Note on launch day at the local Rogers store and am waiting patiently for a fully working CWM/TWRP solution. The devs here are awesome and I hope something comes soon.

I'm feel your pain Peter.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] force70:
Peter did were you able to identify the root cause of the indexing issue or at least have some thoughts on as to what causes it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PeterGuru:
Hmm, no idea ...

According to a number of members on xda, Samsung appears to have an indexing issue with files >200MB. However, when I checked my SDCard, where I keep the vast majority of my files, I could not find any file of this magnitude ... and not even close. There was one exception, though; the three TWRP backups for my current S4, which are about 2GB each.

I thought the problem might be with the SDCard, itself. So I reformatted it in the NOTE 3 (not via the PC), and then copied everything back over via the PC. This did not solve the problem. The indexing error continued to come up every 1-2 minutes without fail.

Then I decided to transfer all the files on my SDCard to Internal Storage. I subsequently removed the SDCard entirely from the device to see if this would solve the problem. If true, then the issue is either with my specific SDCard (Sandisk 32GB Class 10), or with all SDCards in general.

Unfortunately, though, after I copied everything over to Internal Storage, and removed the SDCard entirely, that's when I began to "tweak" the system files. Why? Well, I also read in a number of threads that the issue might be related to S-Finder, whatever that is. I deleted some system files with something similar to S-Finder in the name. Then, after rebooting the phone, everything was working well, but the indexing error immediately returned.

So, I thought, okay, the system files I deleted did not solve the problem. I then thought it best to go back to the previous configuration with those system files still intact. The best way to do this, I thought, was to simply restore my Nandroid from TWRP. That's when everything went haywire. The restore did not work. I never got out of the booting process no matter what I tried and, at the time, there were no official Samsung firmware files available to restore via ODIN.

The phone was bricked. Fortunately, though, as I said in another post, the store gave me a full refund.

I hope my above explanation helps.

Peter

Addendum: Although it wasn't soon enough for me, there are two new versions of TWRP, v2.6.3.2 and v2.6.3.3. Perhaps they solve the restore function. One can only hope but, at this point, I don't think anyone will have enough courage to try a restore considering all the bricked (continual bootloop) devices.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] force70:
Thank you for the detailed reply, I havent had the issue yet but I put a fresh 64gb sd in the device. Im going to transfer a couple s4 nandroids to it and see what happens..id rather find out now if this will be an issue and it if is back goes my note.

I dont remember anyone having this problem in the S4...strange that the N3 would have it.

No problem with my S4, either. I've been using my current SDCard in it since the beginning without a hitch.

Many of us have tried it, it's not working on this device for whatever reason. Bigbiff has some advice for those stuck bootlooping due to the nandroid restore. Check the TWRP thread in original development. I don't know if it works, can't hurt to try though.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PeterGuru:
Didn't try it ...

No, I didn't try it. As I said in several earlier posts, here an in other forums, I returned the device for a full refund.

However, I have some questions.

You talk about "repaired fresh flash with official ROM." Where is this official ROM for Canadian devices? I've searched and found none to this point. Yes, there is one for Puerto Rico that seems to work well with the Big-3 Canadian carriers, but I have yet to see anything official for Canadian units.

Also, when you say "repaired fresh," what exactly do you mean? Do you mean Samsung repaired it? You repaired it yourself? If Samsung, where on earth is there a Samsung dealer/service centre in the Mississauga/Toronto area?

You know, had I had the official ROM, I would have easily flashed it via ODIN. I'm VERY familiar with ODIN. But, without the ROM, no go.

Anyway, as I said, I got a full refund, and expect a replacement unit this Saturday. We'll see.

Thanks,

Peter

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I returned my unit the next day, October 5, for a refund ... long before the method suggested/proposed by Bigbiff. Trust me, I do a lot of research before I give up on a device. Then again, I have a great relationship with my local carrier, so getting a refund is never an issue as long as it's still within the 15-day return period.

Peter
