Hi Guys,

i don't know if someone is from China here?

I have a Chinese SM-N9008V from China Mobile and would like to know it Chainfire's Auto-root does the job on this device:

SM-N9008 (China): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-h3gzm-smn9008.zip

I'll cross my fingers and hope someone has a positive reply :p

I tried to root my N900 with this 3 times now and it always freezes up at around 30% and soft bricks my phone.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Is there another way for me to root?

You are right. I was hoping there might be a way to bypass with Odin. The hunt continues.

Hello Chainfire,

I am on N9005 KitKat NE3 (Hong Kong's version),just rooted my device with AutoRoot.

There is 1 minor issue: whenever I reboot after disabling root in SuperSU, the above message appears if I enter SuperSU after such reboot.

Is there any possible solution?

Great thanks in advance and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cdmackay:
hi all, just wanted to make sure, before I buy... am long-time CM/Omni user on Note N7000.

If I buy a new N9005 in the UK, from a proper online shop (e.g. Handtec) is there any danger of getting one with a locked bootloader, or some other issue that will prevent me from rooting, or installing a custom ROM?

Or is everything OK, even with the latest shipping versions?

Reading here suggests all is OK (for N9005 at least), but I thought I had read somewhere else that I could end up with a phone with a locked <mumble> which would mean no joy?

thanks much indeed.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
cyanogenmod - twrp they have a different name for each device.

The reason why I'm asking is because - if there's a TWRP version for your device - You can just use Odin to flash the Recovery and it will install SuperSU for you - Then flash a custom Rom - and you can bypass the whole rooting process ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jay_m3:
Actually my phone was rooted so I wouldn't worry about warranty. I dont wanna lose my data so I will let custom rom option down and I'll go for stock rom plus odin, wot you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Sure you can do that - you could always use titanium to backup all your data and flash a custom TW Rom or AOSP - AND still have your data ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jay_m3:
Ummm I used to use titanium backup but honestly l wasn't so convinced as I believe that restoring will bring old rom bugs..?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Only thing that you should NEVER restore with TB - Are ANY system apps or data ;)

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

BTW - The reason that I suggested using Odin to flash TWRP is you can bypass CF Auto Root altogether ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jay_m3:
yep, i should get this done in 1st place, but what happened to me, my n900 was rooted, working like a charm, and i wanted to get updated to D1 PDA so i unrooted it from SU, made OTA update then i wanted to root it again with the same method, i mean CF root, however, it got stuck on odin flashing phase.. that's the whole story, and i am too lazy to re-install all apps so i've chosen to flash with stock ROM

can someone help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaguaralani:
you might need to flash stock bootloader then stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If he flashed the Stock Firmware - That includes the Bootloader for that version.

Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to flash TWRP for your bootloader version & Carrier

What version I can use I have an sm-n900a but aim unlock and I use it in Mexico is like an international version so what file can I use and other wise my note 3 is 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 4D3:
I flashed TWRP and all that happened was it allowed the phone to boot again, when i used the key combo to boot into recovery it game me a strange looking thing, i think it might have been the stock revocery.

can you tell me where to get these files? also how do i find out which version of the phone i have? Im in australia, i think it is a SM-N900S
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You can download the latest firmware for your device from Sammobile.com - you will have to create an account - login and search for your device and carrier.

Can you be more specific than "it gave me a strange looking thing" - was it blue with the word TeamWin?

If you saw TeamWin - that is TWRP recovery..

Where you on jelly bean or kitkat ? Australia hasn't received 4.4.2 roms yet.

For 4.3, you can find xsa, telestra and optus roms. Just choose firmwares then the correct combination of information in the search fields.

Arrrggghhh, confused

So, after reading through 161 pages of posts, albeit scanning over some, I am more confused than ever.

I have SM-N9005,runing Kitkat, not rooted. I under stand that I can use CF-Autoroot, using the download from post 2(?) which uses Odin 3.07. I understand that it will trip KNOX and void my warranty.

Do I need anything else? Do I need to back up files, if yes, what shall I use. When I did my S3 it was so simple, but so many people ask so many questions and have so many opinions, that it has confused the hell out of me. I already have SuperSu and Titanium Backup installed, but as I am not rooted they don't work. Do I need to download firmware files, etc from Sammobile? I am on N9005XXuEND3, N9005XXUENC2 and N9005OXAEND1, (which I have no idea what I am on about)

So after I have been flamed (hopefully not) some big pushes in the right direction will be most appreciated.

I have downloaded the CF-Autoroot package for the SM-N9005 by the way.:o

EDIT, Sorry, just want ROOT in case you wondered, not sure about how to go custom ROMS etc yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] force70:
Theres lots of info on here for this...the OP OF This thread for example..however....

Your already on 4.4.2. If you only want root no problem.

Make sure your pc has drivers for your phone already installed.

Start odin 3.09 put phone in download mode and plug into your stock charging cable .....download cf autoroot file...load .tar file under AP...hit start...30 seconds later your rooted.

Thats it.

Stock ROM > Root > Debloat > Xposed > Unroot

Hi guys,

I have stock N9005 on NC2 BTU (4.4.2) unrooted since release day. I am starting to get tired of some of the minor flaws with this phone and I would like to debloat and change things.

I have experience rooting, I have had rooted Galaxy Note, Nexus 4 and still use a Nexus 10 rooted with CM. The problem with root is that two important apps I use no longer work, SkyGo and Barclays Banking (RootCloak and RootCloak Plus are not reliable enough to make them work all the time!) This is 100% the reason I have not rooted for so long (7 months w/o root - I feel like a recovered alcoholic :silly:)

Anyway, what I want to know is if its possible to root the phone, debloat, chqnge some things with Xposed and then unroot so that there is no trace of root to these apps but still keep my modifications?

The main things I want to do are remove Samsung bloat that I do not use and change it so that the recommended apps do not appear in the notification shade when I plug in headphones and also remove the "Battery charged to 100%" notification.

Your help is appreciated.

Neil
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
Me too! If you find a way to do this (i.e. stop those really annoying screen wakes for headset attach, 100% charge, and connecting/disconnecting the charger cable) then I really want to fix those too.

Andre
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] npras42:
Its very easy if you have root and are happy to keep it.

Download and install Xposed framework

Download and install Wanam Xposed module from within Xposed framework

The are settings in the Wanam module to remove all these things.

The problem is that if you don't want/have root, then it is not possible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
Ironically, I found that module myself yesterday, a short while after posting my question here. I already had Xposed installed anyway (for an NFC screen-off hack) and now I find that Wanam's module also provides that anyway. I wasn't previously sure if it worked on the Note 3 (only the S3/S4 are explicitly referred to) but it seems to work perfectly. I used one of his WanamLite ROMs about two phones ago, so I'm glad he's still around and making such useful stuff.

Many thanks for the tip anyway.

Andre
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
Yeah I used to use WanamLite ROMs also. I think development for this module has slowed considerably recently according to the relevant xda thread (for whatever reason... I'm sure he/she has a life outside of xda). Hopefully it picks up again soon because there are a lot of possibilities and I'd really like some other cool new features. I only rooted yesterday and started messing around with it. My Note 3 has a new life... shame about my Barclays and SkyGo apps :(.

Anyway, back on topic...

CF Root Hangs on sm n900

Hi,

I am using the CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.zip and attempting to root my

SM-N900 Device ha3g, Product ha3gxx running Kit Kat 4.4.2 Build ID KOT49H

The fingerprint of the device is samsung/ha3gxx/ha3g:4.4.2/KOT49H/Nn00XXUDND1:user/release-keys

I attempted to flash in Odin but it hangs after the progress bar seems to reach 100% while loading cache.img . It will not reboot. I tried the steps to remove the battery and continue but unless I'm missing a detail it's not working either.

The phone stays in a soft brick mode and boots to the Kies failed update screen. I found that if I use Odin and flash the latest TWRP I can restore booting to the 4.4.2 stock rom however the stock recovery is present, and the phone is not rooted.

The Knox was tripped and the phone now shows that has a custom ROM although the stock ROM is still what is on it.

I made sure that Kies was not running on the PC when I did these steps.

I'm pretty handy with Odin and have flashed several of my devices dozens of times with various root packages and never gotten stock like this before. I have used ADB a couple of years to root an old HTC following good instructions. I'm no developer or guru but I can follow clear directions.

Any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 1SouthernCanuck:
Do you have the SM-N900, or the SM-N900W8? I have the 900w8 and used the Odin 3.07 with the 9005 md5 file and it rooted without tripping knox, although Binary/System status are now set to custom.

CF Root Hangs on sm n900

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I figured my way out of it. I was able to flash a fresh copy of the latest stock rom for my country then applied CF Root and I flashed TWRP. Now all is good. BTW It was an international SM N900 bought from the official importer for Samsung. I did blow the knox counter but I knew that would happen. It looks like there may never be a way to restore Knox, but if you want a custom recovery you have no choice.

Unfortunately it looks as though CF Auto Root is having some issues with 4.3 SM-N9005 so doesn't look like I can root it.

Okay, so I'm having some problems... I've flashed CF Auto Root via Odin and then installed Xposed apk using ES FIle Explorer but it won't let me install/update framework - it says "Failed to get root access"

I then noticed that Superuser wasn't installed, so Installed it from app store and restarted phone. Xposed installer doesn't ask for permission so I set permission to auto allow in Superuser. Still doesn't work.

I then downloaded root checker basic and it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access". I tried flashing CF Auto root via Odin twice more, and then I tried with Auto Reboot unchecked, pulled the battery and booted into recovery mode.

Still the same results..

As suggested, the only reason for rooting the phone is to get Wanam Xposed so I can bypass annoying security settings on exchange email. I'm running 4.3 on SMN-9005.

Any ideas??

So I've done a fair amount of searching and have yet to find anything on this issue... so hopefully I'm not doubling up on issues here.. anyway after rooting, I'm noticing I can't view photos on the dropbox app, or backup my papyrus data to dropbox. Is this something known? Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help.? Lol

So you flashed CF Auto Root with Odin - Did you Flash a custom recovery with Odin as well?

Hi mate,

No custom recovery flashed, just CF Auto Root.

I tried the SafeRoot.zip process and it failed telling me my kernal is patched and I need to find another method to root my phone.

I have also read about http://www.kingoapp.com/ but not tried it. (any feedback?)

So I am asking what other method will work. There was a previous post suggesting there was some problem with CF root on N9005's

I dont care about warrenty or triggering knox (but I guess it would be better if knox was not triggered) but I do want the phone to work after rooting without annoying messages. I have no desire to load custom roms

May Be I need to flash a full ready rooted stock ROM. a lot of confusing info out there

So guys please point me in the right direction.
