New AP / CSC files are up!

I also removed all of the links to csc files and linked to the shared csc folder on mega, much easier that way, it also has a built in search :)

Exynos isn't supported yet, sorry.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
The message was to cover my butt just in case one of them does, and to make you create a backup. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Does the W8 - MJ1 update contain any issues when rooting? Any incidents of KNOX tripping yet? Does Xposed + Wanam still work (or is that only MJ3 and beyond?)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Flash it and find out ;)

Literally just posted it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Girn:
[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] what's the best way for someone on older firmware to upgrade? I'm on MI5. I can't do the OTA without getting an error, must be from xposed. Do I have to install the OTA first before flashing your files?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Yeah I might just be the guinea pig, I guess since MJ3 is the KNOX tripping firmware for DLV root, I'll upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Downgrade to MI3 with VEGA files. Install the OTA, then used the sdcard files.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Girn:
[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] there is no MI3 for my phone (n900w8 )
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Can't you just factory wipe in stock recovery, flash MJ1 from Odin, and reinstall the root with new files?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] scar45:
Hi DesignGears, just wanted to say thanks to you (and Chainfire!) for this root method. Worked for me first shot, and was very quick.

*EDIT* - N900W8 with MI5 (out of the box - didn't update anything) for the record ;)

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
[MENTION=329612]scar45[/MENTION], are you on MJ1 and got full working root?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mouse100:
[MENTION=4480637]medicus07[/MENTION] designgears has uploaded new csc files. Have you tried flashing yours to see if it resets custom status to official?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kiran86:
Please do for Exynos SM N900

Please please please do this for SM N900 Exynos version :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mudstuffin:
Thank you for the updated files. I followed the full steps to root my SM-N900W8 (with the J1 version.), but when I used root checker it told me that my device does not have proper root access. I tried the whole process a second time, but still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mapl.ph:
Review the steps. =D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Is your SuperSU configured to auto-deny?

Do you have the SuperSU app?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mudstuffin:
Thank you for getting back so quickly. I don't have the SuperSU app. Is this something I need to install this before the rooting process?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
If you did the steps properly, you should be getting the SuperSU app. The steps should be quite easy to follow, but you have to follow each step to the end.

You don't need to redownload SuperSU, you should have already gotten it, but you can always redownload in Play Store, and rerun Root Checker.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Did you get BOTH the AP and the CSC files and flashed them in Odin that came with the package?

AP should be N900W8VLUBMJ1

CSC should be N900W8OYABMJ1

Remember, you have to download the CSC from the new shared folder by clicking the link, or just directly here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!n9JnyI5S!VKmm1hxHlhIxWo1bXeIfLA should be the most bottom one.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

One more thing, did your KNOX counter go to 0x1? (hope not! >.<)

In Download mode, does it say System Status: Custom? (If you flashed the files correctly, you should see this)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mudstuffin:
I have done all those things to the letter. It seems like the script is not running for some reason.The steps are really simple - I don't understand how I can be getting them wrong!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Hmm...Yeah the instructions can't be rewritten to anything simpler. If it doesn't work, and I believe you know what you're doing.....

Try going into recovery, wiping back to factory settings, re-flash the stock ROM downloaded from SamMobile (dump it to a pCloud account to get it downloaded in 10 mins.)

Redo all the steps above. If they still don't work, then I guess there is a problem with the MJ1 ver of DLV root for N900W8s!

Also, I wrote more in my above post, did you get any counter increases?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mapl.ph:
How about the files that needs to be extracted?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gertjan411:
Thank you so much for update the csc list .
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mudstuffin:
Under About->Status->Device status it says "Official"

I guess that would suggest that the flash didn't do anything or am I looking in the wrong place?

Where should I be looking for the knox counter? (I can find a lot of posts about the counter, just not where it actually is)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Fully power down your device/Remove the battery of your phone.

Hold down power, home and vol down, press Up to continue.

You will now be in Download Mode.

You should have done this in step one of the rooting procedure! :P

You will see your KNOX status. But now I know that since your Device Status still says Official, it is as if nothing was installed, but what worries me is that you didn't know how to get into Download Mode, as this was step one of the root. Try getting into Download mode first, then do everything all over again, but don't reset the device, keep it in Download mode when you use Odin!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mudstuffin:
I have been in the download mode three times now (I just didn't read the text on that pane, I just watched the green bar slowly fill up in sync with the bar in Odin). My knox counter is indeed still at zero. So it seems that the download is doing nothing at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Alright, I guess either the script is not running, or the MJ1 did something to this.

[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION], what do you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
If I use the new csc files to get root with latest ota, will it change my status to custom? If so is there a way yet to bring it back to official. I was reading that wanam exposed is not writing anymore on latest ota

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
You should ask over in the wanam exposed thread, I'm sure someone can run your thru things and get some logs to check.

[MENTION=238197]Mudstuffin[/MENTION]

What do you mean it is doing nothing at all? If the bar is filling up and it reboots, it flashed.

Are you putting the files on the internal storage?

From command run this for me and pastebin the results;

adb shell mount

this one as well, and upload it to mega.co.nz;

adb pull /system/bin/ss-presetup.sh
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
Should the System Status change to Custom at this point even without the root files installed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
No, mine usually takes a few reboots.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
So what you're saying is that the counter will not change just by flashing AP and CSC?

What does the System Status even check for in particular anyways? Root? Odex state? MD5 issues?

If the System Status does not change even after flashing something different in Odin, then does that mean using a 'userland/calling' exploit can trigger something on a system level? The moment you reboot it WITH the root files causes the system binary to change to Custom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BlueChris:
So guys help me to clarify something, I'm with SM-N9005 - N9005XXUBMJ1 rooted fine but if I pass from OP post the SM-N9005 - N9005XXUBMJ3 and do all the process again I will be OK as matter the knox part but unable to make system status official simple because wanam xposed needs an update?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] medicus07:
Correct... OTA and root no problems with new firmware. Knox counter still 0x0. Faking system status with current wanam/xposed framework doesn't function. So at the moment you cannot install further updates over OTA.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hidea:
I uh… forgot to turn off Activation Lock when I did the procedure. I was able to gain root access. Everything seems to work "OK" and KNOX status is still 0x0. Should I be worried?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
For N900W8 users, we'd like to confirm one thing judging by Mudstuffin's tests.

The RDLV script is not being called after flashing the AP/CSC successfully.

Phone has been flashed with the correct AP and CSC several times.

All files and folders are placed on the root of the device (/data/media/0 == /storage/emulated/0)

The script uses /data/media/0 as this is more direct.

No root gained.

He then follows on by adding a different line into the .sh file, command not executed, meaning either the .sh file is not being called, or the system is not being mounted as RW properly.

If people who tried doing this on the MJ1 firmware for N900W8 devices, did you gain root and also SuperSU?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
If I am already in the latest ota mj3 but without rooting yet, can I root? I read some comments that this is not possible anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] SquirtingCherry:
Just updated myself to MJ3 and no problems with root, just follow the instructions and you be fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] baste07:
Can we receive ota after rooting with this method?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] masze:
i flashed AP XXUBMJ3 with CSC NEEBMJ3. ( double checkt and its correct for my phone) and knox is set to 0x1

whats up with that?

yes! ..

EDIT: ahh.. doesnt matter... now i just go wild with cwm and custom roms, looking forward to a awesome Temasek build to our N3 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] baste07:
Yeah tripping Knox is Over rated
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] masze:
Warning:

For all of you with:

AP:XXUBMJ3

CSC: NEEBMJ3

If you flash with "RDLV" your KNOX will be set to 0x1
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] baste07:
if i root the only way to flash updates is via Odin? if i flash for a diff region of the latest FW will that change my csc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Godrick:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
Has been awesome for me. Not a single force close or other issue.have pretty much thrown everything I could think of so far at this phone. Including but not limited to ..removing all apps that didn't provide core functions including all ant, samsung, knox, touchwiz, connection manager apps. Have edited a bunch of files manually to apply tweaks. Pretty much everything is available minus custom recovery and a custom pre built rom. Have gone back and for to stock multiple times. Still haven't flipped a knox flag. Very happy here.

Myself and some others user also face it last few days ago.

Pretty sure this root no longer working well in BMJ3 firmware.

Suggest OP remark at main page root only working perfectly without trigger Knox up to BMJ1 firmware only.

Confirmed another report with a

[MENTION=5495335]biere_en_fut[/MENTION] PM'd me in the hopes he can inform us that he has the exact same problem as [MENTION=238197]Mudstuffin[/MENTION] and that he is unable to gain root access because of http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46612944&postcount=1342

To people who are on MI5 firmware right now, DO NOT UPGRADE TO MJ1 YET!

p.s. I feel like my abbreviation of RDLV was stolen! bahaha it's okay! :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
I have warned not to do this many times and included it in the OP. You should not deviate from your region.

Flashing another regions AP/CSC will likely leave you with 0x1.

Checking it out now, going to use the other hook and see if that gets it going.

edit: also, make sure you have the latest Root_de_la_Vega.zip / Odin v3.09 files, otherwise it won't work.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] ZeAuReLiEn:
So this is a full, already patched, official ROM ?

Flash it through Odin and it should do the trick if already running the XXUBMJ1 ROM on a N9005 ?

Will it wipe all datas ?

Yeah, I've seen it and don't know what to do about it!!!

This one is even better http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/5...3-lte-n9005-root-prerooted-stock-firmware.htm

Yeah, just go for it mate! NO WIPE though!! ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yulet:
Yes, I did. It didn't write. Are we supposed to wipe the data? AT&T method wipes the device itself I guess?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION]

when i read your last comment i guess that there is sth wrong about the path while you have corrected on your last fixed fw. And as like above model, i guess in N9000Q there is same problem.

Btw you changed the root but i would also add this root for you because this also refers to the root of sdcard :)

/storage/emulated/0

I will wait for a fix to test so i can let you know if your corrections will work or not.

Thank you very much again for your great job on this community ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] vinokirk:
Oh, are the links above actually the Vega method?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
/data/media/0/root_de_la_vega.sh is the direct file system path. The one you mention is a mount point I believe.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yulet:
:victory: http://i.imgur.com/WEr7are.png

By the way, N900W8VLUBMI5 is for Canada only. N900W8UBUBMI6 is for South America, I'm guessing. Not international.

Perfect! Figured it was the stupid /sdcard path.
