I think it's a rhetorical question. The OP (Original Post) tells you whether it works for "9005". The answer is yes and you just need to download your particular model from the OP (Page 1).

Im on sprint note 3 and after using the auto root it wont boot into recovery. even if I pull battery and manually do it it just bootloops. anyone have an older file for the smn-900p or any other solutions?. im on mj4 and android 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Individ3:
+1 that this worked and my Knox remained 0-0

I came from 4.3 stock rooted, and used the above method successfully with the TELUS Stock 4.4 from sammobile.

****Note:

at step 9 when trying to ODIN the CF Auto root, I was getting the following error no matter what I tried (or Odin version):

To correct this...

WTF?

First...I am not a noob, and have researched before I bug the forum...

That being said...wtf?

I have a bone stock Tmo Note 3 running 4.4.2, after doing a hard reset.

I followed the instructions to the T...and still end up with the seandroid error. ( I have followed that thread, using the 900T tar file, and the older version of odin (.85). I also tried installing cwm from recovery as suggested, and I get an error there.

I am booted back to the os now, but dont know where to go next.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Are you talking about seeing " Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing, Set Warranty Bit.*"?

If so - That's NOT an error - It's Normal to see this after rooting your device.

Flash a custom recovery (TWRP is my preference) - And you're good to go.

BTW - With 22 posts - in the eyes of xda - You're probably considered to be a "noob" - That's not a bad thing ;)

Hey folks,

Small question:

My device is branded (T-Mobile Germany). Should I choose the Tmobile US one, or the international one? After rooting I want to install the stock unbranded rom, btw.

Thank you all in advance and have a nice weekend.

hello, can someone help...i have read allot of of related messages but none seem to help with my problem.

i finally decided to trip knox so:

my current android version is MJ7 i.e. 4.3

i have installed CF auto root and have managed to get root and installed SU, i can confirm i have root.

i am subsequently trying to install CWM or TWRP but cannot seem to do so. it seems as soon as i CF auto root i lose my stock recovery and cannot flash a new one. pressing vol up power and home i get a message

"recovery booting..

recovery is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit recovery"

when i go to odin mode it says (reactivation lock off):

qualcomm secureboot is enabled

write protection: enabled."

obviously i have tripped knox. but the problem is cannot intall a custom recovery...once the odin flash is complete the phone restarts and boots up, trying to go into recovery again it just displays the three line message about seandroin enforcing.

i have reflashed a stock rom and retried everything a few times but just cannot install a custon recovery

please help. i am not new to rootingand stuff but just cannot figure this out.

thanks in advance

ps i have read up on this but i cannot find a solution.

TMO 4.3 root attempt

I have a Galaxy Note 3, from TMO,

SM-N900T

, running 4.3 Android.

It was running stock Touchwiz, and while there were some things I didn't like, on the whole I like the phone and what it can do. When I heard some of the problems that came up with 4.4, I wanted to stay at 4.3, but last week I started getting nags from Samsung to upgrade to 4.4, and I would click the button to postpone it for 24 hours, the longest that it would allow. But last night, it seems it doesn't want to allow me to postpone the upgrade, and it's "warning" me that it wants to install it now. :( At no time did I tell it, that it was okay to download it. It just did it on its own.

So, now I need to root. I chose CF-Auto-Root because it is listed as the most simple, easiest and most like stock.

I used the instructions on the first page, but I got errors when I tried to do the procedure. I eventually got it back to what was the normal screen, but the Knox flag is tripped (I knew this would happen).

TLDR

: I think part of what is causing the problems I encountered, was that the first page has the download for 4.4, whereas I have 4.3. Is the android 4.3 cf-auto-root download still available on an archive somewhere? Will rooting get rid of the impending upgrade notice?

PS - I *did* read quite a bit back, and the only posts that seemed similar to what I was encountering, were happening to people who used the international version, so that solution wouldn't apply to me. Thank you for any and all help you can offer!

Root no go ?

Hi i just got me note 3 a couple days ago and tried to root .Odin says pass! and all threads completed 1 success/0 failed. What to do now screen stuck on pic 3:

http://imgur.com/a/IGP6s#73r9TuV

I tried " NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.",

and still same result. Please tell its not bricked :(

What to do now ?

*** When i did the VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery, instead of hitting the vol up button to continue i hit the vol down to boot normally and she booted right up. Installed busy box so i take it shes rooted ! Almost had a heart attack LoL !

**** okay, i guess its not rooted. Was able to install busy box / super su / & titanium, but they dont work. Say i do not have root privileges :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
I had the same problem when I updated to 4.4.2. Start over in Odin. Re-flash the full firmware, uncheck auto-reboot, and when Odin says "Pass", pull the battery and reboot manually into stock recovery and factory reset. Boot normally, do the first time setup, then go back into download mode and flash CF. Boot up fully and install a root app (TiBu, Root Explorer, etc.) to confirm root. Go back into download mode, disable auto-reboot in Odin and flash recovery of your choice (I use Philz). Make sure you get the proper recovery version for your bootloader, regardless of which recovery you choose. When Odin says "Pass", pull the battery and reboot into recovery (do not boot into the rom yet!) With Philz, it warned me that the stock rom might overwrite the custom recovery, would you like to prevent that (YES!!). It might also ask to preserve root (YES!!). Then boot into the rom normally and confirm root again.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
So should i go ahead and upgrade to kitkat before rooting ? Once i do go to 4.4 which tar do i use " CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.tar " or " CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar " ? I kinda dont know if i should go to kitkat or not after reading all the issues it caused people. i assume after doing the kitkat upgrade that i would then not be able to use the JellyBomb Domination Rom ? i was hoping i could, looks like an awesome rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
What KitKat issues are you worried about? I used the CF for N9005 because the N900W8 file doesn't work for KitKat. Rom compatibility is something you'd have to ask the dev for that particular rom. I use CM so those roms work.

Re guarding philz, which one of those listed files do i need to dl ?

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
For Philz, it depends on your bootloader. If you upgrade to KitKat, then you want version 6.19.3 under hlte for the 4.4 bootloader. If you're on 4.3, then you want the version under hltespr. For the white status bar icons, you can change that with Xposed. Other than that, people's big beef with KitKat is no apps on microSD, which isn't necessary anymore anyway with 32GB internal storage. I just use the microSD for movies and music storage.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
Ok thank, will upgrade now to kitkat and give rooting another go. That sd card app issue, so even if you partition the card and run something like App2SD you can not run apps off the sd ?

********** Hummm, i just tried to do the update for kitkat and pop up message says " your device has been modified.software updates are not available". Wtf ? does this perhaps mean that i am indeed rooted. BUsy box and super su still no work. Ran root checker - no root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
I don't know about using Apps2SD. Why do you want to out apps on external storage? Note 3 has 32GB internal, plenty of room for apps. Putting apps on external is slower as well. It's really only an advantage for legacy devices that don't have much internal storage; it's not necessary. I know you might be used to doing it, but it's actually a disadvantage.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
Install SuperSU from the Play store after flashing CF; its a rootable kernel but I don't think it actually installs SuperSU, I should have mentioned that, sorry. And the software updates isn't a big deal, you're running the latest anyway. But you can put your status back to official with Xposed.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
Huh?

Also, under device status it says "custom".

Note: I do have unknown sources checked, do i also need to enable developer options ? I didnt have it enable but do now. Also usb debugging checked or no ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
In Developer options, have ADB debugging checked (I turn the notification off). Leave unknown sources checked, it let's you sideload apks, turn off verify with Google. The custom status is what's preventing the OTA updates. There's an Xposed module specifically for that, and Wanam Xposed will fix that as well. But like I said, you're on the latest anyway, and the next update will probably be available to download before it gets pushed OTA anyway.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
Do you have a linky for the Xposed module ? Also i am still on android 4.3 latest would be kitkat 4.4. Or am i misunderstanding what you mean "you're on the latest anyway" ?
