I haven't post my latest test-version nor talked about it here (just confirmed that Root is working..)..

I do apologize for any inconvenience.

After root. Does flashing a rom trigger knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
Hello [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION]

Thanks for your hard work, I have tested the fw of N9000Q and I still couldnt get any root after doing all the steps :(

Is there sth different about our mount point of sdcard maybe?

Because when i look into "/data/media/0" directory i couldnt even see anything under "/data", so the "/data/media/0" doesnt exist on my device.

Is this because I dont have root, or does this show that sdcard path is different?

Please look at this problem mate, i hope to get finally root like the other variants of note 3 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] aarick:
Yes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Chalao:
Usually, flashing with Odin won't destroy the EFS folder as the part of your device where the EFS folder is stored won't be touched. However, if you are worried you can use [TOOL] Updated! 04/09/13 - EFS Professional v2.0.70 - With Qualcomm NV Tools! in order to back up the partition where your EFS folder is located (I would definitely recommend doing this right after rooting your device, before proceeding with things such as SIM or region unlocking).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
Just flash a stock Rom back to the device, it will go back to official.

if flash a recovery after flash root de la vega the counter is 0x0???
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] msm903:
Yes you have to do an Odin flash at least one. The oneclick gets you back to stock MI9 while the second Odin flash is what is needed for the scripts and root to work.

I have no idea of you can skip using the oneclick if you are already on MI9 but I do know after I messed up my framework and this messed up Knox I just flashed the 2nd file and followed the steps from there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Jack Barrett:
I guess that's why ODIN files are provided, not just convenience, but because it's required.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Well - Flashing the file with Odin is the second paragraph in Rooting Instructions - In the first post of the OP ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] medicus07:
If you flash a custom recovery after rooting with this method your knox counter still will be raised to 0x1...

Is anybody able to confirm that after this root when you install custom recovery Knox will be rendered again 0x1. I'm planning to install CWM and I'm wondering whether all this will be useless at the end of the day
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] apd:
I thought it had already been confirmed that custom recovery renders knox 0x1.

Why useless? This root means we can install xposed mods - one of the best root tools there is!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] binhntbv:
I actived KNOX and then rooded my N900 with CF-Auto-Root.

What a happen when run Root de la Vega?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] apd:
You are rooted already (and Knox 0x1) Why do you need to root again? There is no way to set the Knox back to 0x0 (yet or maybe ever)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] afilopou:
Your knox is already 0x1 and you are already rooted.No reason to root with this method
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] juliano76:
Not that I'm not respecting the efforts of the devs but isn't it one of the main advantage of the root is the ability to install and enjoy the custom recovery benefits?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dehaani:
Of course that's one of the benefits, as are custom ROMs and kernels.

You can have all that if you want to trip the Knox warranty.

Or you can enjoy some (or most) of the benefits whilst retaining Knox warranty. Early days yet, the choice is yours!

Thanks you sir! Enjoy the root!

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] letama:
[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION],

First congratulation for this nice root. Good job!

I'm trying to understand knox triggering, or more exactly what I can do without triggering it. Reading around, it seems that knox is checking system, but looking at what you did, it doesn't seem so.

If I understand well, you didn't trigger knox by keeping the kernel untouched and didn't even flash it, you just modify one system partition script to call another one that installs root files.

To modify this script, did you simg2img, mount ext4, then img2simg then tar ? Or did you do it another way that would keep a signature in place ?

Next, having a separate script to install su is because system img flashing would check su existence on the partition and trigger knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Flashing a repacked image alone will cause the KNOX flags to trip, I haven't seen a way to repack them so it doesn't happen. Im hex editing the system image to call to a script on sdcard, which avoids messing with the system image setup.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
Thank you sir, i hope you will fix the problem on N9000Q and thanks for the explanation too, now i get it why i didnt see that path :)

Ok, I'm about to flash this baby on my Sm-N9005. It's been years since I used Odin. So just a quick question: The name of the actual file that I'm supposed to flash is SM-N9005.tar.md5 right? I kinda got confused with the .md5 ending?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] letama:
Ok, so you did hexedit the ext4 directly, got it now. You also edited the inode ?

For the record, I just tripped knox flag by flashing official rom for another csc :(. I wanted to be on same rom level before using your root, I still don't understand why, bad download I guess...

Oh well, I guess I can stop worrying about tripping it now :).

i've already voided knox by flashing CF auto -root, so this came late. but glad for those who is worried about their warranty!

anyway i am wondering, if i use this to root future firmwares, will this method still allow for OTA updates since it doesnt replace recovery/kernel/bootloader etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DDRFAN:
Has this worked for anyone yet? Just tried it, didn't wipe and didn't root. Gonna try to manually wipe it and retry.

Edit: completely wiped. still no root ): . I noticed in the AT&T thread; they have an .exe file. Are we possibly missing it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Nope, no exe for this one, that is just how the AT&T ones are packaged up.

Are you putting the files on your sdcard?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DDRFAN:
Yep, on the root of my internal SD Card. I noticed after flashing it didn't wipe my rom. is this normal?

Thank you for your great work and support! I really appreciate it
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
That one shouldn't wipe.

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip.--carry_out=csc_home.--wipe_cach

that is from the cache file being flashed.

-------------

on the Internal Storage, not your external sdcard?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DDRFAN:
hmm. yep on the internal storage; I pulled out my external as per instructions. Is there a chance the script isnt executing? anyway to manually execute it?

Also, my knox warranty isn't voided so theres that :)
