Thanks!!! I have root on my Note 3 :)

Thanks helped a friends root his.

Cf auto root was really simple for a beginner like me. I also used a toolkit to install cwm touch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] junoone:
I have FLASHED my note 3 from sprint to straight talk. Now i wanna root it. how can i do that without messing up the flash? whats the simplest way?

please help its much appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Subbywagon:

nc5 root kitkat 4.4.2

who has used the chainfire method and been successful on kitkat 4.4.2 nc5 version?

I want to root but I don't need a brick and if anyone has had problems what were they and did you do to fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
I used this method just this past weekend.

What I did was, odin the chainfire tar. let the phone reboot. you'll see a red android guy which does the rooting process

when that finished it rebooted and I waited for the samsung boot animation

then pulled the battery

put the phone back in download mode

and then odin'd Philz Recovery

then let it boot and everything was fine.

I immediately turned my phone off and restarted into recovery and ran a backup. :)

I didn't bother with the engineering bootloader.

I'm playing with XPosed and Wanam now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dshook1979:
Hi everyone. I'm new to the note 3. I'm looking for a quick nd easy root. I'm on the Sprint variant. N900PVPUCNC5. I'm seeing a few different methods to root in the threads. Which is the best? Also can anyone recommend a good stock based rom that's fast and easy on the bettery. Even aosp will work as long as I can install the s-pen apps. Thank you everyone for your time and answers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BambiTyler:
Blue box?

Trying to root right now, except when I plug the phone in and go into download mode it comes up with a blue ID:COMM10 not a yellow ID:COMM6...did this happen to you? If not is this still fine to proceed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
I'll reply here as well.

The color is not a factor at all, you're just using a different version of Odin than the video did. The important thing is that Odin sees your phone and is ready to push the tar file.

Note 3 SM-N900V with KitKat OTA

Hello - My Note 3 installed the KitKat update OTA. I use Bluetooth hearing aids in order to use the phone and after the update certain Bluetooth functions no longer work. I have never rooted a phone before and would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction. I would either like to go back to my previous version or root the OTA KitKat version. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

How to Root from 4.4.2 KitKat/ Install TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhhertel:
followed instructions on brand new spring note 3 4.4.2, but no root

I odin'd in the CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.tar.md5, and when i boot into the download mode of the phone, i see under current binary: Custom, System Status Custom, knox kernel lock 0x0, Knox warranty void 0x1,

but i have no root, and when i run root checker or any app that asks for root, i get a long pause, followed by a failure.

i have tried it several times, no change.

I tried the method from post #162 above, where you odin in the cf-auto-root, then pull the battery after it reboots and odin'd in phils recovery, and then still no change at all.

anyone else having these kinds of troubles? any recommendations?

EDIT: Success!! i booted into the phils recovery with the up-vol,power,home key and enabled root from there, and it worked like a champ.

towelroot.com

Just successfully rooted my phone (one click, nonetheless) and didn't trip Knox!!! I'm so excited!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Congratulations! Just to confirm, you are on a Sprint Note 3, right? If so, now I wish I had waited to root without the tripping Knox counter. :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
glad you got it working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dallinski:
Yep, Sprint Note 3. I had to exercise all the patience I could to wait for a rooting solution that didn't trip knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kosmo42o:
Same here used geohot method and working root on stock NC5 knox 0x0 .. was missing out but back in game now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Thanks! This would be perfect if we could re-root our phones with this and reset the Knox counter. :fingers-crossed: Does anybody dare to try it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dallinski:
If you've already tripped knox, there's not much to lose. Geohot seems to know what he's doing, so I'm pretty sure there's very little chance you could do any damage to your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] supra2121:
Confirmed. Just tried it on my Note 3 with baseband NC5. Took about 4 seconds and now have root access and Knox is 0x0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
I read part of the towelroot thread. It looks like even if it did reset the Knox counter, installing a custom recovery would trip it again. I don't think it's worth taking the chance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] surg3d:
Good to know! :) Any downside to doing it this way rather than using the old method? Sounds awesome but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger...

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that if you have Android 4.3 on your galaxy s4 (any 4.3 custom ROM) and you buy the game officially, Asphalt 8 plays in full 1080p HD and has insane graphics. It also has Antialising + OpenGl ES 3.0 here are some screenshots.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MichelN:
Even with Android 4.2.2 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] djisgod:
Graphics and physics are defiantly improved on 4.3 .didn't make any difference on the leaked firmware though only on Google edition.I don't think opengl 3 is working on the leaked one
[Galaxy S 4 General] D3abL3:
Correct.
[Galaxy S 4 General] crzykiller:
Android 4.2.2 doesnt have OpenGL ES3.0. It also doesn't play in full 1080p. It doesn't have Anti-Aliasing nor does it have increased physics.
[Galaxy S 4 General] arnob_xperia:
thers's no OpenGL ES 3.O support in leaked 4.3 ROM theres no driver in it,,,,
[Galaxy S 4 General] xtrustkillx:
Btw will opengl 3.0 speed 3d rendering or only add new extensions and 320 will strugle? Ou reminds me 8800gts and crysis dx10 :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] seraos:
The adreno 320 already have openGl 3.0 built in so no strugle in theory
[Galaxy S 4 General] xtrustkillx:
Yes i know that, i was thinking when some games will actualy use it..
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
When adreno 320 won't be enough to play the latest games, we will be long before fed up with Samsung, and with HTC being no more we all would have only two choices: apple with iPhones and Google with their Android and Nexus.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MichelN:
You only name Companies that are known, did you ever tried to do a research on smartphones that are not popular (yet). Google for the Xiaomi MI3 (using a adreno 330 chip) for sample, not well known in Europe/USA but yet very popular in China
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
Was a joke..

This thread is not about companies..

Why so sad?

Ummmm ya I make decent money that's not all I do though I do rooting roming video game emulation fixing and pretty much anything that has to do with a phone as well but if I was just to buy and resell phones I'd make enough for my rent and phone bill most likely it all depends on how cheap you get the phones for I get em for cheap cheap I have people that live in other states find em and send them to me and I sell them in my online stores and stuff and split the profit with then 60 40 them 60 me 40 and that makes good money for me and the people doing it for me cause I sell them fast

I picked up the Galaxy Note 3 last week and decided to get the Galaxy Gear as well. So I thought to try and pair up the Gear with my Galaxy S4 and it works. Whether and S-Voice seems not working.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagstr:
I am working on a tool to help make updating or switching ROMs easier. Now, before you say: "Just use Titanium." I am attempting an AiO solution. Anyway, the way it is currently set up is to use an sh script via AROMA to tar a backup. I want the script to be customizable so it calls upon a text file the user can edit, called "keep.txt". This can easily be done using the tar command, however, when I use it and the subsequent sh to restore the files, I get mixed result on full restoration.

Here is an excerpt from the backup script:

#REMOVE JUNK AND WHITESPACE
sed 's/#.*//' /sdcard/NU/keep.txt > /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp.txt
cat /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp.txt | sed '/^$/d;s/[[:blank:]]//g' > /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp2.txt

#TAR CUSTOM BACKUP
tar -cvpf /sdcard/NU/Backup/Custom.tar -T /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp2.txt

# MOVING TEMP FILES TO LOG FOLDER
mv /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp.txt /sdcard/NU/Logs/keep-tmp.txt
mv /sdcard/NU/keep-tmp2.txt /sdcard/NU/Logs/keep-tmp2.txt

The first line removes all commented lines while the second removes all whitespace to allow for a cleaner input.

The second line should tar the backup appropriately keeping permissions intact (if I'm not mistaken).

The file chunk is for cleanup. Should also be noted that all folders are made at the start of install by another sh file.

An example of keep.txt can be found here: keep.txt

Here is an excerpt from the restore script:

# DELETE OG FILES
for f in $(cat /sdcard/NU/Logs/keep-tmp2.txt) ; do
rm -r $f*
rm -f $f
done

# RESTORE
tar -xvpf /sdcard/NU/Backup/Custom.tar

I've recently begun erasing the existing folders just in case... But this does not solve my problem.

The second chunk obviously restores the files.

It has had some success, but it is hit and miss. I don't want to release it and have people losing precious data.

Any input is welcome! Thanks for reading! :highfive:

DE maxx here with root and system rw access.

No matter how many times i delete/uninstall these two apps, they always come back. freezing works just fine. Any reason why I would be able to make any other system mod and have it stick, but i would be unable to completely remove these two?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlmesq:
They're in read only memory and aren't really deleted? Did you boot into r/w mode when you deleted them?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] SiliconS:
Until I get a proper car kit I'm trying to arrange a microphone/speaker system in my car for my Exec.

The Exec's 3.5mm headphone socket has all the connections I need to get audio out (to my car head unit) and receive a microphone feed in. The supplied Exec headset has a standard four-band 3.5mm jack plug.

Has anybody found a splitter with a 4-band jack plug that provides a stereo 3.5mm socket (audio out) plus a mono 3.5mm socket (mic in) that will connect to the Exec and give me the connectivity I seek?

Since the headphone socket is in parallel to the USB socket and the antenna extension sockets along the back of the Exec, I'm hoping that someone somewhere is making a car cradle with all these connections built in... :D Slide the Exec into the holder in laptop mode and instantly get power, audio out, audio in, antenna and GPS connectivity in one simple cradle.

Well... I can dream... :roll:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
I'd like to find an adapter that allows me to run audio out to my car speakers but NOT disable the microphone on the JasJar. When I plug in a regular 3.5mm audio cable it disables the JasJar microphone. Does this type of cable exist?

If not, what hands-free microphone solutions are people using with the type of adapter shown above?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] AdamStrange:
I'm looking for the same solution. It seems odd that a regular 3.5mm cable disables the mic - surely only a 3.5mm cable with mic input should do that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
I never know this, I always think the designer of the Uni should be smart enough to design it in such a way so that even though we use a normal headphone, the internal mic still works.

My old XDA does that exactly though it has 2.5mm headphone port. Whenever I use a normal plug (not the custom one), the mic is still working.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] AdamStrange:
I've found another site that offers audio adapters including the one above (in fact I think this is probably where the MDA Pro site gets their adapters from):

http://pc-mobile.net/audioadapter.htm

I emailed them about the adapters and whether any of them would keep the internal mic enabled on an XDA Exec, however they have not tested any of them with any HTC Universal yet.

If anyone's tried any of these, please let us know.

Haven't had this problem before or even heard of it. My phone showed normal data signal all day today, but every app said I had no connection. It even looked like data was uploading/downloading as the arrows were popping up from time to time. I tried a few reboots but still having the problem.

I'm on Vanilla Rootbox, but haven't had any problems until today. Nothing has changed on my phone in weeks.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
those bars arent for data connections, they are for your phone connection. i assume phone calls are alright? have you called your provider to check if they are having data issues?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Well, the H+ and the up and down arrow are for data aren't they?

I haven't called because I'm on AT&T gophone and they don't have much in the way of customer service. They won't help much once they see you're on a Nexus 4, which they don't sell.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the H+ and H show which data network you are connected to. and the up/down arrows show if the phone is(or trying to) send/receive data. neither of which tell you if you are actually getting data flow. normally, you would call your provider in this situation. if they tell you that you service is fine, ask them to refresh your connection.

and the issue of you not getting help because youre on a nexus 4 doesnt make much sense. they want youy to pay for the service, they dont make much money off the phone. but if you feel like that about their service, why are you still with them? there are better companies to use, and are inexpensive.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Well I've dealt with them a few times. That's just been my experience. I'll try and call them. I'm still with them because generally I can figure out what the problem is. In my experience, it's all the junk i've done to the phone, rather than service being down. Thank you for the suggestion.
