Telus Root Confirmation Anyone?

2nd Post states:

"Confirmed Working

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

SM-N900W8 - N900W8VLUBMI5 - MD5: 056986FE760954448F2D07E7F60CFE7C"

I recently purchased a Telus Note 3 SM-N900W8, AP:N900W8VLUBM15, CP:N900W8VLUBM15, CSC:N900W8OYABM15

I downloaded the appropriate .7z file. MD5 hash matched. Extracted four files N900W8VLUBMI5_N900W8OYABMI5_RWC.tar, Odin3 v3.09.exe, Odin3.ini, and Root_de_la_Vega.zip.

I was just about to flash with Odin and noted the "_RWC" in the .tar file name above must stand for "Rogers Wireless Network" which is a different Canadian carrier then Telus. Could a Rogers firmware discrepancy corrupt my phone or even worse trip Knox?

Secondly the included .tar file is called N900W8VLUBMI5_N900W8OYABMI5_RWC.tar and does not end in .md5 is this relevant? OP states "Flash <find your .tar.md5 file in post #2>" Let me apologize in advance, I'm not nitpicking just want to be sure.

Lastly I'd like to state what an unbelievable job!!!! My hats off to designgears and chainfire. THANK-YOU!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] wilflare:
thanks! so this is different from the usual Chainfire method in that it installs an entire firmware (rather than just the root files?)

hmm if I wanna support Chainfire by buying the pro version, do I need another way around it? (another method of install or something?)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] B01070:
No yaar... Something got screwed... I am able to boot my device... but unable to use it...

I get FC on Samsung keyboad & Direct Pen Input apps repeatedly... unable to use or test if I have root...

dont know what to do now... I tried doing it atleast 4 times now...

Any help would be appreciated...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] spambayes:
Hi, I've read the thread from beginning to end (yes, especially #1 and #2) and am very excited.

1. Could anyone confirm this would work on my SM-N9005 with the following:

Baseband version: N9005XXUBMJ1

Kernel version: 3.4.0-1628120

Build number: JSS15J.N9005XXUBMJ1

AP: N9005XXUBMJ1

CP: N9005XXUBMJ1

CSC: N9005OLBBMI3

2. According to OP #2,

Does this mean I need to factory reset the phone myself before/after rooting or does it mean the rooting process with wipe automatically?

Much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Supergoodsmitto:
I keep getting a "Detection Information" like every ten minutes in the notification bar... Claiming "the device has detected and application attempting unpermitted actions"

It says to reboot and I've tried but still pops up... Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] red_brindle:
it was Knox that's doing it, use TB to freeze all knox apps and reboot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mormegil:
I have the same firmware version as yours and I can confirm it's working. CSC is changed to N9005OXXBMJ1 though.

You can get the original rom (with N9005OLBBMI3 CSC) from sammobile and revert back to stock I guess. Will have to verify this.

Just do a factory reset before inserting your external sd in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Thanks for the confirmation! Just popped in to see if anyone had tried it :)

Fixing this problem, for the AT&T version I had to include cache.img, but it seems like that isn't the case for the other ones. That is how you CSC got changed. You can grab the stock firmware and flash just the cache image. Extract it, tar it, flash it.

Or just wait, I will upload a new file in a bit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Andrewtst:
Done Rooting Mine. :D Thanks a lot, it is working perfectly. :)

Is time to play with Xpose Framework now. :D

Knox didn't get trigger.

GEAR still connect as usual.

Root confirm working as I just try the Root Explorer.

CSC do change from OLBBMI3 to OXXBMJ1. It does't matter to me. :)

Before ROOT

After ROOT

Apply FAKE STATUS with Wanam Xposed (Working Perfectly)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Looks awesome :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mapl.ph:
Any success reverting back to stock? I have the same firmware. Still waiting. =D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] archer797:
Which one did you use?

Did you delete the files as indicated after first reboot.

Get into recovery. Do factory reset (wipe data). Reboot normally and check.

Let me know what happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Andrewtst:
Thanks a lot for your great work. :D :good: :good: :good:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Kid141221:
Hi, will this work with my phone?

Model: SM-N9005 (international 4G version, bought outright in Australia)

Baseband ver: N9005XXUBMI6

Kernel ver: 34.0-1628120

Build number: JSS15J.N9005XXUBMI7

I noticed a weird thing, the last number of my baseband ver is 6 and the last number of my Build number is 7. I noticed others have the same number on their baseband and build number. How come I have a different one? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Can you dial *#1234# and send a screen cap or type out all the info?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Kid141221:
Here is the information:

AP: N9005XXUBMI7

CP: N9005XXUBMI6

CSC: N9905XSABMI1
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yulet:
You can use any Canadian N900W8 firmware on any Canadian N900W8, they're all the same thing, only difference is in the file name. Your carrier code is stored on your phone and flashing a new firmware will not change it.

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] B01070:
I did everything... Finally got in touch with designgears who helped me with official CSC file which did the trick...

Now I have a usable device but still no root... followed everything again, but still no root... donno wat is the mistake...

Let me wait for someone to suggest...

Aru
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] pxdx:
Any idea why my boot loader doesn't mention anything about Knox? Screen shot attached.

Does it mean that I don't have that obligation and it's unlocked?

I'm using the international version of Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] B01070:
+1, I do have the same question...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Andrewtst:
Hi, designgears,

I notice the file size is increasing, now is 1.98GB for N9005 user where previously it still 1.16GB, may I know what the differences? Do we still need to redo?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I know why already, the latest link you give is direct link to .tar.md5 which means no zip version.

Edit2: But previous version after unzip is 2.04GB instead of current one 1.98GB. Any differences?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] deejay6901:
will this still get OTA updates once new firmware updates comes out?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mormegil:
Yes. Reverted successfully to stock with knox intact.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] pxdx:
Nope this is the download mode pressing the volume down+home+power. Grrrr.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] grypho:
I have this version in my n900, will it work with the published n900 file?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] theone_s_me:
designgears, thank u for this root method , can you please help us owners of i9505 with the same root method?? since android 4.3 test edition has been released for us but still there isnt any root method for it without 0x1 counter... thnx again, please check http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2465713
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mapl.ph:
Can you give the link of the stock firmware? Thanks.

Btw, this is what I have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mormegil:
Here you go: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=XSP
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
I am changing things up, this way I can do the main system files once and package up the csc (cache.img) separately so I don't have to upload that system.img with everyone csc variation.

I will post the CSC you need in a min, check the OP, I updated the instructions for the new files.

I also stopped 7z'ing them, just another point of failure, however, that does mean a larger download.

Edit:

Let me know your CSC version, follow the info in post 2 on how to get all the version info.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Andrewtst:
Get it, understand. :)

My CSC is N9005OLBBMI3
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Sorry for the confusion, I was in the middle of changing things up a bit so I could easily accommodate the mass amounts of csc versions without tons of huge files.

Verizon Model

@ designgears

Thanks for all of the hard work you've done! Amazing job!

Hoping the Verizon model will be compatible with this method soon.

Baseband Version: N900VVRUBMI9

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1671014

Hi!

Thanks for the awesome root tool. Just a quick bump for unbranded outright Australian Model.

Overall its -

Thanks again!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Cuz Samsung doesn't give two ****s about you flashing on their Octa-core phones with Exynos, but if you flash on an SD800 they go berserk, haha :p

But no seriously, I think they knew that most people would be getting the Snapdragon versions because they are most popular to root, or install custom ROMs, hence they added the possible 'eFuse' into the SD800's rather than their Exynos devices. There have been reports that people can take their N900 back to Samsung fully rooted and get it repaired no problem because there is no KNOX counter (as of yet hopefully).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
[MENTION=1940466]Andrewtst[/MENTION] your CSC file is up!

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

Also, just a heads up to everyone, the MD5 isn't required in the thread anymore, tar.md5 has the md5 built in and will be checked when you add it to Odin. If the file is bad, it will tell you and not let you flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] grypho:
My N900 has the following versions:

AP N900UBUBMJ1

CP N900UBUBMI7

CSC N900UUBBMI7

Can I use the one from the post number 2 for the N900 or should I wait?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
I don't think the N900 root is working right now, I will get your CSC file up asap! I need someone to test the n900 root. someone else had issues, just want to confirm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] wilflare:
must I download both the AP file and the CSC file?

I'm using 9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] pxdx:
[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] Can you please confirm this for the mass International Version Exynos users? Really awaiting to hear from you.

I can direct flash the CSC only via ODIN right? Will this trigger the KNOX?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mbradley672:
Yes, and No it will not
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Yessir! If the CSC isn't there, request it! Same with the AP
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] grypho:
Okay, so it's better to wait a little more! Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
I actually don't know anything about the Exynos version... sorry.

If I come across one here in the states I will check it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mbradley672:
I'm sure some donations would help him get a device.

I would but i broke my bank buying this phone :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] pxdx:
Really surprising that not many n900 users have rooted their devices yet. Or maybe they aren't reporting.

Hi Guys

New here so a little confused on how to root my Note3 using this method. After dialling *#1234# ??I get the following details:

I have AP: N9005XXUBMI7

CP: N9005XXUBMI6

thanks both my CSC and AP are listed so I'm good :D

hmm I downloaded the previous AP in 7zip form.. can I use that instead? is it the same?

I wouldn't, it probably has the wrong csc inside it.

It should be there now!

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] B01070:
It looks like KNOX is not installed in the SM-N900 devices, but a shortcut for the installation is available under APPS...

But Download mode does not show the KNOX status which is creating questions among us... If we root using CF-AUTO-Root by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] , we might end up voiding warranty on installing KNOX... thats my guess...

So we would have to wait until someone does this and confirm...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Well, guys, I am going to have to nix the N900 for now, my hooks use KNOX files, lol... If/when I get one in hand I will proceed from there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] pxdx:
And I think if it's not there in boot loader, it's unlocked like previous generation devices like Note 2. I'm also waiting for expert opinions here before trying to root.

I am 98% sure you don't have a KNOX Warranty flag, the files are totally different, no KNOX files, fragments here and there. I am pretty sure that other one that won't root with this method is in the same boat.
