Rooted my Galaxy Note 3 just fine, Android 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ezjakster1:
Can someone please help me? I can not get Kingo to work correctly. Installs drivers and detects phone has Samsung Device...not actual model. and then when I go to click root it gets to detect phone and says "root failed" connection unstable. Have tried reinstalling drivers manually, resetting computer and everything else :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I ran kingo root method and it wasn't working for me. I just tried it again and it hangs on trying to check for root. Everyone that's saying it worked fine for me on 4.3 but your on other devices your not on the gs4 with mj6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lumpy973:
I get the same failed unstable connection. SCH-I545L. Takes for ever on connecting to device. Rebooted both computer and phone stuck at connecting for 15-20 min. Pulled bat, sd card, and sim. How do I uninstall drivers in windows 7 home premium. Don't use or like windoze ( no offense.)

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

After pulled battery, sd card, and sim. Re-ran kingo. After about 25-30 min gave me root button again and went to work for another 10 min or so. And WORKED. Thanx so much guys! SCH-I545L. Pioneer cellular

Is this methof good for rooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LZLandingZone:
Are you serious?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
1. Read more before asking questions.

2. Since efrant says they are still working with XDA, I would stick to Saferoot unless you already got that small security patch that fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Negative. I rooted my 4.3 s4 rogers with kingo. No problem at all. If you're not sure, Kingo has both twitter and FB feeds. Just shoot them a msg and ask. Granted my phone is an i377m, but last I heard, kingo was rooting all 4.3 variants, that was maybe 3 weeks ago. There is another method available as well, if you don't trust kingo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yeah the new kingo app they updated works with it. Thanks for correcting me I was talking about the older version they had.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ramsey:
Guys, I have used this Kingo method to root my phone (I337M) Fido locked and it worked fine. I've been using it for 3 weeks and it's great!

I tried to un-root also because I wanted to check out if there was an update using the system update thingy and it un-rooted successfully! I didn't un-root using SuperSU but with Kingo.

I am on 4.3 and I bought my phone with 4.3. Now I just need to unlock it :D.. (can't use the servicemenu method :()

Hi. I have Galaxy S4 I9505 on stock 4.3, not root-ed.

As you all know on 16Gb version, only 9Gb is free.

I like to play big games on my phone but I dont have enough free space so I have decided to root my phone.

What dou think about ˇKingo root metodˇ?

Will my bootloader be unlocked?

Will this metod activate KNOX?

If I unroot my phone, will they be able to see that phone was root-ed?

If root my phone will I be able to get OTA update?

I have never before root Samsung mobile with KNOX so i dont know what to expect?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xBeerdroiDx:
You will not gain any more space by rooting. The partitions remain the same.

I have 64 Gb MicroSd Card and I want to root my phone and then I want to use link2sd to put big games on extSdCard.

Sry for my bad english.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ramsey:
Kingo root worked for me on 4.3.

Knox would alert me that something tried to change my system but I ignored it and Froze all Knox in Titanium Backup after gaining root.

I checked download mode and Knox was fine, it did not void my warranty, I am still at 0x0 and 0x0.

You can un-root safely and they won't know, as far as I know, that you were rooted. I un-rooted with no issues and I was still at 0x0 0x0.

You won't get OTA update when you're rooted since it says Custom in the About Status of the phone, but you can remove root anytime with Kingo and get OTA updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Fe4r_[KiNg]*:
So, during the process of root, you got alter from KNOX.?

How and why did you froze KNOX with Titanium?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] d-rail:
I rooted mine via Kingo about a month ago - still all good. Is the source going to remain closed (so ATT doesn't fix it)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ramsey:
Don't worry about Knox. At the end of the root process it will pop-up, just ignore it, cancel it. I froze Knox because I freeze all apps that I won't use and that I don't need, to free-up memory.

Freeze the following apps in Titatnium in order to freeze Knox:

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

KNOX 1.0 / 3.0

KNOX Store

KLMS Agent

Knox Notification Manager

so when i rooted my i337 with kingo it worked like a champ. a little later down the line, I kept getting an error message saying sim card can not be found. the phone would reset and it would work again.Has anyone else have this problem? also has anyone else been able to load custom roms on there i337?

im rooted my phone by kingo but if i want to unroot it is possible if yes how?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rightcue805:
yes you can unroot the phone. all you have to do is get su and then you can unroot your phone with su
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dlahmeyer:
I have also used SU to unroot the phone after using Kingo root and did a factory reset afterwords, mainly cause I to was concerned about Kingo root. I then re-rooted the phone using the saferoot that was posted in another thread. Prolly not necessary but it made me feel better lol

Last version of Kingo on PC gives you the option to remove root though I haven't tried

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Wanam Xposed will fake official status and restore OTA updates on rooted devices. However I suggest disabling auto updates so you have time to put supersu in survival mode prior to taking any updates, or just leave supersu in surivial all the time.

and yes, Kingo is safe. Issue before was that kingo was using vroot method, which contrained sniffers for imei and serials. Once kingo caught wind of it, they released a new version excluding said code, which is why they have complied with XDA requirements and all threads re-opened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigcid10:
so,with this app can I uninstall triangle away or do I still need it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Triangle away is for resetting the flash counter, nothing to do with faking official status.

Youll need to install xposed framework first, and then install wanam xposed either thru xposed framework modules (xposed doubles as an installer as well as framework). Canr recall if theyre in the play store. Maybe. If not google the apks or fdroid.

Hi. I have question about using this method of rooting. In which mode must the device be in,when you connect the device with pc after having installed the Kingo root? Download mode,recovery mode or just be on with usb debugging enabled.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LZLandingZone:
Just be on with USB Debugging checked. It'll take care of the rest for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hooah212002:
Confirmed to work with Alcatel One Touch Evolve (JB 4.1.2). However, something about this phone does not allow the removal of bloatware even though root IS successful. I have tried numerous times to uninstall the T-Mobile crap as well as Lookout AV (using TiBu. If there is another app that works, i am all ears) to no avail. I instead opted just to freeze them and I have not noticed a problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
It is knox safe. If it is not tripped, it stays not tripped as long as you dont allow it to use odin mode, youll see a prompt about it. Just restart the app if it gets to that prompt and you want to keep knox at 0x0. Took me a few tries on a friends Zone s3,but it did work without odin mode on the 2nd attempt. It will not change knox from 0x1 to 0x0 if that is what you are asking. No knox flag fakes yet.

No Sim Card

I followed the steps and it did everything as it should up until the last reboot.

I was supposed to be welcomed by a super user popup which i did not get, the systembar said something about having blocked some unauthorized software.

I installed superuser manually and now the it shows, asking for permissions for apps and such. this is where all the good news ends.

No Sim Card, can't manually connect to cell phone network either. pressing the home button does not bring me back to my launcher, which is that windows 8 launcher i installed from play.

I got the SM-N9005

Help, please!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
When opening supersu for the first time, it should prompt to disable knox, allow it to do so. If you arent seeing that prompt, rerun kingo, be sure to allow the prompts on the handset from kingo, and after a dew reboots, opening supersu will prompt to disable knox. If you chosr not to disable knox, thats the problem.

Separate question from the one y'all are working on:

Has anyone tried to root the TMO SGS3 T999L with kingo? If so did you have any problem or any advice to help me when I do it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Floswen:
Hi fellows, I am actually on i9305 (i9305xxuemkc), and I really want my root acces :p I tried Kingo, since i read it is a nice and safe way to get root, without tripping knox flag, and so far, I can't manage to make it work.

I get an error message on both the kingo app on my PC and my phone.

On Kingo : Kingo will restart in odin mode and will flash a custom recovery (or something like that).

On my phone, the error message is something like this : One application as atempt to acces to your device system without autorisation. This atempt has been blocked. An update to security policy can solve this problem...

I know that if I allow Kingo to go on Odin mode, my knox flag will be trip, and i read earlier that some guys have managed to root their I9305, so what do you think it is? Did I do something wrong, or is it just my ROM version that block me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Try another usb port or cable. You do not need to use odin mode, doing so will trip knox yes. Regarding knox error, click ignore and let kingo do its thing. Should restart phone twice, on 2nd restart will achieve root (at least on 4.3). Opening supersu first time, update binaries via NORMAL method, and allow supersu to disable knox messages.

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Floswen:
Thank you for your concern Azuziel.

Sorry, but I think I misled you with my first message. Kingo isn't actually giving me an error message, this is what I get :

"Kingo will now start to root yout device by fashing custom Recovery through Odin Mode, which will

1. Definitively void your WARRANTY

2. Possibly BRIK your phone and lead to boot failure"

Then, on my device, in the notification bar, I have a little shield showing up, folowed by this message (should be more or less, I am translating) :

"One application as atempt to acces to your device system without autorisation. This atempt has been blocked. An update to security policy can solve this problem. Supress apps obtain from non authorized sources should improve the security."

I did several attempts, and every time I got the same message. I switched usb cable (used the one from my Nexus 7) and switched usb port (from usb 2 to usb2).

So, I tried to root via Saferoot method, and it didn't worked either. I can post the complete console if needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Yeah, you're getting too far in kingo process. When you see the 1st message, close kingo and reopen, and start again. You should ensure usb debugging and install apps from sources other than play store are enabled. You should be seeing a pop up on handset asking if you want to allow kingo control of the device as well. The knox message, or message 2,can be ignored. Logs may be helpful. You can also post the errors along with specific model and fw versions to the kingo root app Facebook page or twitter account. Their support is quite good. The first error can be caused by a faulty usb cable. If all else fails, backup user data, wipe, and try again. Can also use odin to flash to stock, then try kingo again. Ive never had any issues, ive seen the 2nd message, if you tap notification bar shield, you can choose to ignore /suppress

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Floswen:
Ok I think I have found where is the issue. This is what I got in the console when I try to root using Saferoot tool :

And according to k1mu on the Saferoot thread :

So, I suppose we can assume my i9305 is in the same situation...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Ah, see, they removed vroot method from kingo and that exploit is knox safe, but code is also malicious and records emei and blasts results to a server in china. I would hit the kingo facebook or twitter page and send them your results. They're adding new devices all the time, and yours is fairly common.

So I would wait for a patch from kingo and deal with their support (they do respond, I've talked to them a few times).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MojoManagement:
Is Kingo safe now? Or still collecting IMEI ? Or whats going on here...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] efrant:
They have been in communication with XDA and they are no longer collecting IMEI numbers.

But because of the way the program works, it still requires downloading of closed-source executable files from their servers. Obviously there is risk anytime that happens, similar to when you download anything closed source that's root related. In my personal opinion, it is safe, but you need to be the judge of what is safe for you to download to your device.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odeccacccp:
Hi,

I've installed Better Battery stats and found that when BT is connect to the car, the "bluetooth_timer" kernel wakelock keep the phone awake, which drains the battery.

Googled it, search here nothing on that wakelock.

Does anyone know how to fix it? is there an option in the Note somewhere that controls BT timer?

Thank you

Solved:

If you press "cancel" when phone asks you to allow messages, and you don't check markalways allow for the phone book, the wakelock is not a problem. Also don;t set phonebook to auto download if you have the option, just do one time download.

I am pretty sure it's the "auto phonebook download" and check marking allow for always, but I disabled messages just in case.
