successfully rooted my SM-N900 (India), Thank you very much Master Chainfire

prior to root

Binary Status : Official

System Status : Official

Knox counter is not displayed on N900

after root

Binary Status : Custom

System Status : Custom

No knox counter display, I found Root access working flawlessly

After root and I did installed triangle away , Then I did flash stock kernel and stock recovery without wipe , the result

Binary Status : Samsung Official

System Status : Official

Knox counter not displayed at all, but I found root access has not been working

Then I did re-flashed again and got root with both status back to custom.

I am fully aware of that triangle away cannot reset counter and binary status. But I am curious status being displayed in the triangle away ( see attached image).

Counter count is 2, is that means I did tried to flash to root two times? Even if I flash back to stock recovery which showed status as official, but counter did not be reset back to 0. Is this counter itself is Knox warranty counter for n900?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] darkknightma:
after flash

root not working on n900

can you help me please
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nagendraps:
Did you disabled "Reactivation lock" before flashing? if not you can disable it and try again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
What else needs to be said - It works - But, that's HARDLY a surprise ;)

Thanks Chainfire :thumbup:

Confirmation number 36K28087WX4893418
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] darkknightma:
yes I disabled it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
It would be more helpful if you could provide a little more information - How is it failing - On Odin - Or it says that it Passed - but you still don't have root?

Did you follow the steps in the OP in the event of Odin failing etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] archer797:
Technically speaking, Samsung can check this counter and claim that you tampered with the phone and hence you no longer have warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] elmonch:
Thanks a lot for you hard work

Successfully root on N9005XXUDMJ6 Latest Firmware < United Kingdom >

Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ovidescu_SGS2:
Now that I've rooted my phone, when I check for OTA updates on the phone it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".

Will I still be able to receive updates vie Kies?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
You will be notified but you won't be able to apply them. Just reset in settings, apply the Kies update, then reapply the CF Root again.

However CF didn't work for me on the previous FIRMWARE but did on the one before that. Yesterday's fw update seems to be working for others though so I might try it if the Knox issue is sorted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ovidescu_SGS2:
When you say "Just reset in settings" you mean settings of SuperSU? Disable Superuser, update via Kies and then reapply root?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
No its easier then that, just go to your settings on the phone itself & reset to factory default setting's, that's the beauty of CF ;).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ovidescu_SGS2:
The only reset I found was "Factory data reset", but that will delete all data on my phone and I don't want that. Is there another reset feature I'm missing?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
No that's correct your data & apps need backing up & restored too. I use My Backup & Titanium Backup, (beware TB needs root again). I haven't tried Kies Air or Kies Desktop browser app yet to backup & restore them if anyone else has maybe they can comment?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ovidescu_SGS2:
Thanks for taking time to clarify.

I was hoping there would be a way to get OTA/Kies updates without deleting data and apps.

So far I have used TB only for few individual apps, freezing/backing up. Looks like I have to get used to doing whole system data/backup and restore.

All the best! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] denson9874:
I'm from the AT&T variant of the S4 forums, and I was wondering if you could create an Odin file like this for our devices on 4.3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Install "triangle away" app. Then superuser will be disabled 10 min or so after reboot and then you can recieve OTA.

;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] ultramag69:
When I flash cf-autoroot on the new MJ6 firmware I'm getting stuck when flashing the cache. On the bootloader screen on the phone it says in yellow writing - Set Warranty Bit : Cache....

It's been sitting there like this now for around 10 minutes.... Last time I just got impatient and pulled out the cable resulting in an bad flash and the Qualcom bootloader being displayed. Reflashing stock firmware fixed this but trying again results in the same error...

Looks like I voided my warranty for nothing if I can't get root...... :(:crying:

Update:

OK, pulled cable again and tried reflashing with ODIN 3.07... Worked this time. Tried flashing with 1.85 1st and that failed....
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ovidescu_SGS2:
Will give it a try.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
I was about to try again with MJ6 as the previous ones failed after the 1st FW was successful CF'd. Looks like Chainfire will be hearing about more & more failing roots with each revised FW comes thick & fast from Samie, that's 5 or so in a month if I'm correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] archer797:
How does this help? What does it do?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
It DISABLES the superuser for about 10 min on reboot (!)

This makes the system "not custom" or something in that time window so it can recieve OTA. ... :rolleyes:

Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] les_garten:
Will these updates De-Root you?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
I'm not sure. But I think so. Never done it yet. Maybe SuperSu survives in survive mode

It seems that triangle away app does not work yet on N9005...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mikegrmn:
I just disabled SU and rebooted. Kies still reports that it cannot receive software updates for my device, and checking for updates on my phone directly, it tells me that there's no update available. I'm still on MJ1 firmware with CF-Autoroot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Seraphim401:
Try sammobile then.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] KrzysztofGW:
Hi, I tried to install CF-Auto-Root, but unfortunately after flashing cache there was a message: Set Warranty Bit: cache and the whole process of flashing stopped at about 40%. Now I cannot run any mode -> Firmware upgrade ecountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

What happened? I have N9005 from Orange.

Update: only one page earlier was a hint :/ - i will try newer odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tj_style:
Hei Chainfire, just want to give you info.

The CF-Auto-Root SM-N9009 version is working fine on mine here.

Thanks..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] teammcs:
Not having much luck with this. Trying to flash n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025) but after the installation the bootloader reverst and comes back with No Command

This is with N9005 UK/British version
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
TWRP is not available for your device??

Works like a Dream on the SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mikegrmn:
I know that TWRP is available for the n9005, but I still couldn't find the information whether or not a backup can be installed without bricking yet. Do you have a link for me that has this information? I'd rellay love to have a nandroid backup before messing further with my device, but am still afraid I couldn't revert to old settings should I want to.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Here's a screen shot of the TWRP backups on my external SD Card - Which should serve as proof that TWRP had no problems creating backups for my device - I should also point out that I was able to Factory Reset - Wiped System - Caches & Dalvik - Restore a nandroid without any problems!

Just go to goo.im and find the recovery for your device - Or even better - Install Goo Manager and install the Open Recovery Script from goomanager.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mikegrmn:
Thanks for the info. i was just hesitant to install because of all the people reporting they bricked their N3s when restoring a backup. I like the idea of a full system backup much more than single flie stuff. That I could make backups, I knew, but that restoring works, I didn't. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I believe that some people HAD problems with the EARLIER versions of TWRP - But it's rock solid now! ;)

Can someone confirm that this is working on the SM-N900P with MJ4?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
Thanks but as I'm on MJ6 can anyone confirm they had success on a SM-N9005 on the latest fm?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Guess you're not on the latest uk MJ6 fm as I've not had success?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
Sorry to go on about this but what fw are you on, I might as well root now my counter has increased after two fails on MJ6 ?

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Good to know, trying now again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
OK success, but not smooth. Used Odin 3.07 in windows 8.1 on a 3rd USB port as suggested here. Still froze at 40 percent on the download mode phone screen so after 5 minutes i unplugged and restarted and was greeted with a yellow triangle and adviced to recover via Kies. However I took a chance and use a different port , restarted my phone in download mode and restarted the root but this time with success!

Will this work triangle rpt remover work for the t mobile versions
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
Guys, could you please clarify the situation? I really don't know what to do and I'm going crazy for the last two days... :(

The thing is:

1) I manually updated to the Brazilian stock ROM MJ1 using Odin. Everything is nice.

2) As already stated, Root the la Vega method does not work on new bootloaders, so I can't get rooted.

3) Some people are talking about these "alternative" methods (Vroot or Kingo App), but I wont do anything that is suspicious to my device, mainly about the first method. The second one some people say it works, but others had some issues related to the root itself.

4) I'm starting to simply don't bother to Knox and just want to get root fully working just like ever.

5) So, the main point is: Is CF method working on these newest ROMs (MJ1, in case...)? Or probably I will get my Knox flag messed up and can't root at this time?

I'm almost setting things here and starting using my device as it is, without root, because I'm going to the third day trying without success to root this thing!

Thanks so, so and so much in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
CF Auto Root works fine for MJ1 - You WILL trip the KNOX flags - But that's fine with me
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
Ok, thanks!

Just forgot to ask, only to confirm, as I think the answer is yes...

Will CF root survive to a factory reset on Galaxy Note 3?

Edit: Since there are a lot of crazy new things on Note 3, I'm really not sure about everything now!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I'm not 100 % sure if it will survive - But you can try Survival Mode in SuperSU settings - Worst case scenario - Use CF Auto Root again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Villacanale:
I updated OTA my N9005 to MJ3. Now with the new bootloader locked, can I use cf-root to get root access? I do not care the counter knox. thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I know that the AT&T boys have been able to root (using designgears exploit) - Don't know about CF Auto Root?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Villacanale:
I have an international Note3 mod. SM-N9005 factory unlocked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] seansc144:
Just to be clear Please. .. Does this method the triangle app for 10 minutes work on the n900t
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shriganesh:
It worked flawlessly!

Mine is a Galaxy Note 3 N900 - Exynos 5, non-LTE version with Indian ROM.

Few things:

> Knox security was NOT present. So I guess not to worry about tripping the Knox counter.

> Software status is set to Custom.

> Even after rooting, some ROOT applications don't seem well (time sync for example - could be due to incompatibility with Android 4.3)

> A security service keeps on telling that some software is trying to modify system settings. Can be disabled by freezing Knox related apps using your fav freezing software.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] seansc144:
Thank you for the feedback. Anyone use the triangle method? PLEASE it was mentioned earlier. Just want to know which note 3 model and whether you would have to re root it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] EnterLordVader:
Just to be on the safe side, I can flash/Install a costume recovery after using this root? (the root is successful).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mowmo:
works on 9005 mj3?

bootloader locked on mj3 :(:eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - You can flash a custom recovery - Easiest way is to get goo manager from the playstore - And Install Open Recovery Script (if it's available for your device).

Edit: You may experience a delay in getting goo manager / twrp / anything from goo.im - It looks like they are still not yet up to full service - In case you missed it - goo.im is undergoing a significant upgrade to their systems. A pita right now - But great for the future!

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

People on AT&T with locked bootloaders can still root their devices - probably can't flash kernels or roms though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] EnterLordVader:
Thank you!

Goomanager says no recovery is available for my device, but I'll wait!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] primehack:
It worked!!!

thank you :)

now what i am gonna do??? :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Jayster0966:
Which version of the N3 are you on? I have flashed the latest TWRP using ODIN after using CF-Auto-Root on my N900T. Working perfectly so far. Have been able to make backups of OEM software and flashed some themes and MODS with no problems.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] EnterLordVader:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bnovak:
Is anybody else getting a lot of force closes after doing this root? (SM-N900T)

I initially did it to get rid of the damn my magazine which was crapping out every time I touched the screen. Grumble...now just about everything else including the system process keeps crashing. :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Jayster0966:
Check out the TWRP main page here; http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 . Just type in your device type and download ODIN flash-able version. Many threads on how to install with step by step procedures.

Cant say that I did. I immediately installed TWRP after flashing root-method. Have had no problems with FC's so far.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] seansc144:
When kit kat comes to note 3 will we get it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bnovak:
That might be something to add to the front page, since now I have an essentially turned-on brick of a note 3.

All processes are crashing now. Can't even get past a screen lock. TWRP doesn't do much good as there doesn't seem to be a pre-built backup available that I can find.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Go to sammobile and download the correct firmware for your device and Odin back to stock.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Have N9005. Updated to MJ3. Later flashed MJ6 and now the latest MJ7.

Had no problem flashing CF-autoroot on either of the FW's using Odin 1.85

For custom recovery, use CWM. Works flawlessly.. Flash this by Odin also. Never had any FC's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] optical10:
Thanks, was about to ask about MJ7 on CF. What's with mega fw updates in so many days on this phone and how come the changelog is nowhere to be found?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bnovak:
Weird, must just be something with the setup I have on my phone and things not working correctly.

Went back to the stock build, then went through the CF-Root again (BTW, ClearFire I wasn't dogging on you before, this is a GREAT rooting tool, super easy...) - root works fine, but if I start uninstalling anything (particularly that damn my magazine crap!) I start getting force closes again, and it's primarily the mail client, which I desperately need!

What's interesting is back at the stock ROM, I was getting FC's with some of the other samsung stuff, like PlayOn. With the root, I get FC's on the email and TouchWiz.

Also tried one of the super stripped down ROM's but my phone wouldn't accept it, so the hunt continues.

Ugh....
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikkelrev69:
Be carefull with uninstalling to many sys.apps. f.x. my magazine. I suspect great dependance in between the sys.apps. if you understand what I mean. Have you tried freezing them instead. I've freezed all the knox apps, samsung hub apps and some others without issues. Uninstalled chrome, chat on and google mag, books and movies without issues also.

Strange if you have fc's on stock rom without uninstalling apps. Do you got many user apps installed. The system partition is pretty undersized. Anybody know what happens when that partition is full. Is there any automatic expanding of it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] les_garten:
The best way to untangle My Magazine is to use Nova Launcher

When I goofed with My Magazine, lots of broken stuff.

Nobody has figured out how to get rid of that yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] wolverinesfan35:
Just got off the phone with brother in law who is a store manager at sprint he said if you read your sprint TOS it states that rooting your phone does NOT void your warranty they only ask that if you upgrade or need service done to it to put it back to stock. So I will be rooting my note 3 finally. Thanks for all your hard work!

I have an Asian N9005 and I'm using it in Europe. I'm guessing that's why 3G is mostly running at snail's pace... The phone also tends to report that I'm still in Asia from time to time.

So, is there a way to change my modem, or whatever it is that is a modem on N3? If not, is there ANYTHING I can do to fix this, after rooting?

CF Can I flash rooted stock rom using CWM if I rooted using your method. I was advised in some other thread not to but I'm not quite sure why? I'm on stock MJ3 rooted and have custom recovery and I'd like to upgrade to MJ7. Appreciate the help.

You do Understand - That you WILL - Trip the Knox flags?

yeap, I do. but I'm sick of being so limited by what I can do...

shall just trip it and try out the wonderful custom Kernels and stuff

But no regrets here :)

what do you use? haha I'm thinking of using faux Kernel for my 9005

so I can just install CWM from the Play Store? that's all I need to do?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I use TWRP Recovery for my device - And I'm presently running ptmr3's Jedi v3.1

You Have to Make sure - That whatever you flash be it Recovery, Roms or Kernels - Won't break your device.

I have no idea how much experience you have? - But if you're not sure - Read, Read & Read - BEFORE you start flashing ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] les_garten:
I'm not following you here?

If you are rooted, you've accomplished the same thing as this thread. Nothing more, nothing less, other than Knox tripping.

Then add a Custom Recovery and any ROM you want.

Why do you think you need to reverse something?

Root is Root isn't? Doesn't matter how you got there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - I was asking myself the same question... I've got the feeling that something is lost in translation - or he's very new to the whole thing...
