[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Ok, what AP did you have before you flashed N9005XXUBMJ3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
N9005XXUBMJ1 BUT i went to system info to update it with OTA then it updated to AP N9005XXUBMJ3 and CSC N9005OXXBMJ3

Then i came here to try to root it and BAM i am stuck in download mode :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Ok, that is probably the issue, I think the bootloader has been updated with N9005XXUBMJ3.. Checking on it now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] baste07:
But this should not trip knox
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
What evidence do you have to support that?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Already have all of that...

Confirmed, the bootloader has been updated...

DO NOT UPDATE TO N9005XXUBMJ3 VIA OTA OR STOCK ODIN FILES!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] blumsen:
ah, that would have been to easy :)

I did not, and don't want to mix anything! those are the standard ap/csc codes for me! and I guess that also for the other guys with the same issue. I didn't flash anything yet so its no problem, I am just wondering if I should go for another csc that fits, or hmpf what? :)

Great work anyways!

Will flashing a stock firmware allow me to get out of download mode? :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
It should, but it will probably trip knox now.

Well 14 min to download the stock firmware... will let you know if it does something..

If it trips the knox flag... screw it, going to custom roms... if not, stock for me :D

Then whats the point of you being on this thread
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Nearly ever person who has flashed it has had knox trip, even the one you quoted. You speak as if you have fully tested all possible combinations and know when it will/won't trip. Plenty of reports to assume there is something wrong and it will trip, to sit in here and say it "shouldn't trip" based on your experience is irresponsible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
Flashing stock firmware... will provide some feedback once it is done! Wish me luck! Or not! ahhahaa :eek:

Good news: Stock firmware from sammobile fixed it and i am back on stock.

Awesome news: Knox: 0x0!

DOUBLE KILL ahahahah
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Atsco:
What did you exactly did, before you flashed stock back? Did you use Wanam? Or did you unroot with SU? Factory reset? Just downloading stock MJ1 and if there isn't possible to get OTA after MJ1, then I go back to stock too. And did you checked, are you system is back to Official again?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] masze:
you are right...

something is wrong with MJ3

before flash

ap N9005XXUBMJ3

csc N9005NEEBMJ3

after flash

ap N9005XXUBMJ3

csc N9005NEEBMJ3

this leave me with knox 0x1

doesnt matter now...when it was trippd i flash cwm recovery anyways... dont give a crap about knox..dont care

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Yungfu:
I'll post for reference I guess...

Started with stock FW, then got an OTA to N9005XXUBMJ1. Rooted with the old dela Vega the one with no CSC. Didnt trip Knox and used wanam to set FW to official. My csc changed to Cyprus after root.

Checked back here and saw updated files that had csc for region. I downloaded official stock firmware from sammobile and flashed via odin 1.85, everything was fine, I still had Knox at 0x0.

Rerooted with updated files and csc this time, everything is ok, Knox was still intact, even the firmware was official. After a few reboots, FW was custom, used wanam to fix that, all is good.

Already debloated the FW and set up my preferences, 3 days after, all is good. Knox is 0x0, firmware is still official with wanam installed.

edit: Forgot to mention that I uninstalled root via SuperSU, the flashed stock firmware. My phone wasnt wiped by the process, but after I rebooted, I manually erased via recovery. After that, I immediately rooted with the updated verion of dela Vega
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hidea:
I'm running the firmware that came with the phone, out of the box (MI5). I successfully rooted the phone without tripping KNOX. However, I'm starting to get annoyed with the OTA update popup that came every three hours.

Based on my extremely limited knowledge and understanding, and per most recent update on the OP, it's best to avoid this OTA update (which is 21.10 MB, "Improved stability" update).

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] :
True :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] JohnnyRebel:
I'm rooted 0x0 on MI5 too. I froze software update v3 & software update v6 with Titanium Backup and the nags are gone along with the notification icon/alert.

I went ahead and did this and rooted my new phone. I don't see it being factory reset and most of the apps that comes with the phone still works. should i still factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
If you have working root and are not getting random force closes no need to wipe. Just use as normal.

Everything should work as normal. If some apps don't work. Then you may want to start again with a wipe just to prevent future problems

Sorry, but what are the VEGA (AP?) files? Are those the modified firmwares? I'm just guessing wildly. I'm assuming, the last few digits correspond to the firmwares Samsung posted. Having said that, as of right now, the BMJ1 posted on the OP is the newest, RDLV-ready file?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] klau1:
So what is the process for those with N900W8 currently on Stock never-rooted MI5?

Do we root with the MI5 first before applying the new MJ1 OTA and then root again?

Or Do we apply the MJ1 OTA first, and root with the new MJ1 root file?

Alright guys, I can confirm that N900W8VLUBMJ1's RDLV rooting procedure

WORKS

with the updated and fixed files.

To people who want a systematic procedure in how I did mine.

I DO NOT do OTA updates.

1. Factory wipe in stock Recovery, twice.

2. Go to Download Mode, flash STOCK RWC MJ1 .tar in Odin to upgrade to MJ1 from MI5, twice.

3. Followed RDLV instructions.

4. Obtained SuperSU and Root.

Will post screenshot of proof. Xposed + Wanam works on MJ1 firmware. KNOX not tripped.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jonboyuk:
So just to clarify - when OTA updates arrive, can they be installed? Furthermore will they lose root or trip Knox? I can't seem to find a definitive answer!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Atsco:
Jep, if you don't update, or do anything else foolish, try flash something etc, then no problemo.

But if you want update, then be careful and wait little bit. But if you phone works fine right now, then I don't see any reason, why update anyway?

I'm going to stay with MJ1, and wait, till I'm sure, that there safe to update. Now, when we know, that there is possible to go back stock, without any problems, by flashing stock MJ1, I don't worry anymore at all about what next. Enjoy you new toy and that's it! Because I'm ;) Donated already to [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] for this root, installed Wanam etc and next few months no hurry and no worry.

this will trip the knox ?

Only thing I've noticed is my modem / baseband is still on N9005XXUBMJ1, when it should be N9005XXUBMJ2. Is it possible to flash the updated modem only? And if so does anyone have it?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nicholaschum:
The Odin file is 2gb big.

The OTA update is like 30mb.

I decided to start fresh from stock to do it, but that's my habit of never updating devices I own. For example on an iPhone, I never touch update, I always restore to the latest firmware. It's problem and hassle free, which is what I live alongside with.

There was a report that the baseband does not update from OTA, but updates thru Odin.

When it comes to RDLV, I like rooting and permanently staying safe, rather than having any force closes or mod clashes with my MI5 root, which is why I like starting fresh.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jetbruceli:
These OTA come with the latest modem and also they are stable.

The only time it make sense to start from scratch is when changing Android Versions.

Being safe would be not rooting and leaving the device as it was meant to be. Rooting isn't like Jailbreaking. Rooting opens the door to endless possibilities.
