Question & Answer

"Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?

It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.

Can I flash custom recovery/kernel without tripping KNOX flags?

No.

Will this set a tripped KNOX flag 0x1 back to 0x0?

No.

Can you help me with the drivers?

No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.

How do I get into download mode?

Method 1: adb reboot download

Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?

No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!

Will root survive a factory reset?

Yes, it does.

Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?

Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.

Does Xposed Framework work?

Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.

Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?

Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.

Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?

Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.

How do I open a 7z file?

With 7zip or IZArc!

Can I do this on OS X/Linux?

No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.

Can I unroot?

Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.

I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?

From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

I am getting Force Closes after flashing, how can I fix it?

Make sure you are flashing the CSC file! If you are, try flashing AP and CSC separately.

HELP! I flashed N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1 and now I am stuck in download mode! What do I do?!

You are mostly going to trip the KNOX Warranty at this point.

Flash this AP N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1_BTU_RECOVER.tar.md5 (2.05 GB) and this CSC N9005OXABMJ3_CSC.tar.md5 (38.0 MB)
