I don't think there is any issue in flashing only CSC... I personally did it twice... No issues... Again this is my personal experience...

I have SM-N900 device...

You dont need this root method bro... Our devices does not have KNOX installed and so this method didn't work for us...

You can use CF-AUTO-Root method from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]... I did mine and have successful root..

Cheers!

Hi,

Anyone tried OTA update with SuperSU Pro with keep root alive option? Does it trigger the Knox counter?

Hi,

I flashed root dela vega on my phone a few days ago, everything was working and now it says su binary not installed, i havent updated anything.

I tried to re root, but still nothing. Wanam xposed is working,titanium backup and so on. But i cant use new apps that need root

Knox is still 0x0

Can somebody plz give me some advice?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] vinokirk:
Have you ticked the 'auto-deny' option in SuperSU?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] buitruclam:
May be you lost root. May be conflic between software updated. Try update supersu lastest in recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] vinokirk:
I disabled OTA with Titanium straight after rooting!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Kur0saki:
I havent ticked anything, when i go into Super SU by Chainfire, it says no super su binary is installed.

Requst for the CSC file

Hello designgears.

Can i ask for CSC file:

tnx:angel:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:
Knox tripped

Ok..

I have managed to root it but it has tripped the counter.

My pda and csc were different and i flashed accordingly.

I did read the instructions where it said do not mix and match but i thought that meant only flash the correct version to the one you have on phone.

I got a flash pop up when it finished saying something about knox but couldnt read it fast enough.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kersh:
Is this because of root? Because I don't have a custom anything, just root de la vega

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:
Was i supposed to use the odin included in download package or any version of odin?

I only seen the odin included after i had flashed the phone.

Could this have been why the knox warranty counter was tripped?

Also it never wiped the phone like stated in the instructions
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
What version did you restore? Did you check the CSC after you flashed it? I'm positive people are ending up like this coz they're not checking if the restored CSC had actually been applied before proceeding to the next step.

It took my phone a few reboots/wipes before it actually showed the CSC I was restoring, then and only then, did I restore the whole thing with the Vega firmware and files?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
I don't know which carrier you have but on the sprint version it was as easy as just putting the root files back on the card and rebooting.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:
I restored

N9005OXABMJ3_CSC.tar CSC in odin

N9005XXUBMJ3_VEGA.tar PDA in Odin

I originally had BMJ1 but i had a few ota updates which changed both the csc and pda.

I then flashed vega.

Device was not wiped and the knox counter changed when i finished the flash of vega

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Does it matter that i never used the odin included in package?

I used version 3.07
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
Ahh, perhaps that was the issue? I made sure my CSC was restored correctly and flashed the same revision of the Vega version over the top once "everything" married up, but there have been others that have indicated flashing MJ3 triggering their counter, so perhaps it was this that has f&£ked you over?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:

Shall we wait each time for a modified fw by [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION]?

I see that Samsung is releasing new firmwares (N9005XXUBMJ3).

I flashed (like many others) modified AP + CSC and xposed framework + wanam xposed. So what about new updates? Must we do the same procedure? Flashing a modded fw + wanam?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Pow35:
So, which file do I need to copy? And where?

RootChecker shows that it is installed but that files are missing... (see pic) likely overwriten by the update from Samsung.

Busybox is a green light.

running N900W8 on Koodo ( telus)

Pretty much same as Sprint.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
I flashed one of the first editions of the rootable firmwares, one from [MENTION=4398524]DjeMBeY[/MENTION] and one from [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION], in the process my CSC got changed, and for me at least, just flashing the CSC "didn't" make it "active". Despite flashing it, it would still show the incorrect CSC in the recovery for example, and when the phone booted and I got presented with the initial setup screens, it was in a different language because the wrong CSC was still active somehow, it took a couple of wipes, flashing the CSC and allowing it boot into the setup process, before the CSC I wanted actually kicked in and booted the phone up in English and also displayed the correct CSC code I need in recovery.

When I got to that point, I flashed the Official firmware, as the firmware now had the correct CSC it would have expected, and not trip the counter, then re ran the Vega firmware and root process, now I am back to the correct CSC and rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:
I'm still confused I am afraid.

My process was

1. Dial*#1234# check version number of csc and pda

2. Download same version of csc and pda from op. (Mj3)

3. Used odin 3.07 (not the one included in package) to flash both pda and csc from op at same time.

4. Counter tripped.

Did I duck up somewhere in the procedure?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jetbruceli:
What tripped? Knox or Binary?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] boterkaaseneieren:
Great. So for every firmware you need new files. That is a lot of work. Just in the days that chainfire had to root every z.image for s2 n7000.

Your thread will be filled when a new firmware comes out with questions when the new tar file will be uploaded. Good luck

Ok, thanks.

Back to the drawing board. Going to rip apart the kernel and see what all is getting called to be 100%. Seems really odd that isn't firing off.

I haven't rooted the n900w8 yet, there's an ota, should I apply it before or after this root method?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
What I mean is, it could be that your CSC might not have changed as you thought, you've then gone and flashed a firmware the was expecting to see X but saw Y, and tripped the counter because of the mismatch. Or as others have triggered it by flashing MJ3, it could have been that which has caused it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jh787:
I see your point

So what I should have done is factory reset after my update to correct the csc.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] RavenY2K3:
Well rightly or wrongly, that is what I did, I made sure it was literally back to how it was straight out of the box again, before attempting to do anything with it. But on another note, I've stayed well clear of MJ3 due to the reports from others.

This is only my personal thoughts on this, but I'm sure I've read earlier in the thread people triggered it by flashing a firmware from another country (ie the wrong CSC) so I don't think my hypothesis is implausible.

Guys i need some clarifications if someone can help.

A friend of myne was as i was in MJ1 rooted according to OP How To here... both are exact same phones. My friend wanted to go back in stock so he pressed unroot in SuperSU and in reboot he passed the Official Stock MJ1. His knox counter wasnt tripped BUT his status went to custom...

So question is .. if you do the rooting you have the official status by using wanam.. but there is no way to rollback in full stock status & be official?

What does this mean?

"DO NOT mix and match AP and CSC files"

Should I choose exactly the files as my own AP and CSC or what? Sorry but a bit confused about this statement.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Pow35:
I rooted the N900W8 (Telus) prior to the MJ1 update and used Wanams to fake the official Status to regain OTA.

I installed the Update as it became available but lost root in the process...

I was able to get Root back with help from "mjcollum ".

Although I got root back, I have been unable to change the status back to official, even after clearing cache or reinstalling Wanams.

Not a big problem anyway... sooner or later, someone will have a working exploit to get recovery access without tripping Knox and updates will be irrelevant by then.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Pow35:
I believe that ir simply means not to use files from different phone model or different region.

Simply put... you might have noticed that there is quite a few CSC files ending with MJ1 but one need to look at the entire number. Otherwise, you might end up combining a file meant to be used by a different Note 3 model.

Had a quick question about using this method and resetting your device. I successfully rooted using this method and proceeded to install a few root apps. One of them was adaway, it was working fine and all. A few days later i decided to reset my device to clean up a few things i was not happy with. Upon reset i noticed that my root was still intact and working fine, but also noticed that i was no longer receiving adds, was my modified hosts file not deleted?

Was the reset not meant to wipe everything except the root?
