Ok I am on 9005-BMJ1 DBT and really don't care about the knox thing. I read a few post earlier that if we would return to stock it might re flag the knox security?

So I need to root with your method and then re flash stock to check?

I will try it but I don't see why it would trip the flag because you should also be able to use Kies to restore your device to factory defaults no?

Are we talking about just flashing original FW or downgrading after rooting?

Can you help at all please?? I can flash the BTU recover ROM, to get my phone up and running, but after that, I can't flash a stock ROM over the top, or just the CSC - as I get the same error as before.

Any help much would be much appreciated.

Thank-you!

What do you think, In my situation (originally phone had TPL, but OXA was flashed over it). Which CSC it will accept with VEGA-ready AP?) if any?

But I can't flash stock rom on top of it.

I've got an error, but this time is not system, its cache error.

Sprint Version

I'm testing out the Sprint version right now, will update when I'm done.

EDIT :

It worked perfectly for me. No problems, no errors, I just followed the directions exactly.

EDIT 2 :

I cannot comment on the knox functionality of this, as my device was already set to 0x1, so I am not sure if this method would have tripped the counter. Also, I ODIN'd back to stock before I started , so the firmware I was using when I did this was SPR-N900PVPUBMI3.

I hope this helps someone out, and thanks to the author for this.

Odin troubles

Hi Guys

Just wanted to let you know that I had problems flashing the CSC with the bundled Odin. I used Odin 3.04 and everything went well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
Did you downgrade from mi5 or were you still mi3. I was in the process of trying it out also with a downgrade from mi5 but my dl speeds are horrible here and will be a few hours yet before mine is ready. Best of luck hopefully all goes well and we can ota back to mi5 and keep root.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Attention please!

I've managed to recover another MJ3 .... all works including CSC..

Everyone with MJ3 issues should try this:

Flash XXUBMJ3_Rescue FW (no CSC in it) , boot normally, go to Security Settings and turn the REACTIVATION LOCK OFF

Reboot into download mode and flash CSC_OXABMJ1.. That's it.. Phone will work again.. ;)

Good luck! :)

US Cellular SM-N900R4

[MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] I was wondering if you were possibly working on a hack for the USCC / US Cellular variant of the Note 3 ( SM-N900R4 )? If not would you possibly consider it and if so what would you need? I don't have one yet but am looking to get it but root is kind of a big thing for me as well as many other USCC N3 users I'm sure. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I followed the instructions exactly! It did not wipe my phone either all apps appear to be working fine. I have included an image of ODIN download screen. I used Simple Root Checker to test root. All is good!

So all you Sprint users root on!

EDIT: Also donated beer money and picked up Chainfire's SU Pro app on Play Store!

Thanks guys for all the hard work you put into this for us!

P.S. : im doing all this to cover the scenario of a problem and the phone must go to sammy here in greece... thats why i am trying to see in a case of destructive failure or a physical problem in phone the steps i need to be fully unrooted and good for local sammy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
On Sprint 900p

i can confirm 100% working

downgraded first from mi5 to mi3 using the official sammy files.

then applied vega.

knox intact.

thanks again designgears.

off to try spoofing the ota will reply back.

Ok. well it let me spoof the status to official.and download the update.

however upon reboot it appears i no longer have root.and device status shows custom again. however knox is still 0x0

hmmmm. any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] afilopou:
I have to double check it but CSC tar not including modem (CP).

You flashed MJ1 which has system.img and you have modem untouched (MI6).Flashing different CSCs does not change your modem.

You need the MJ1 modem extracted from MJ1 rom, so ask if any dev can post it for you.

What is your official rom (not in service but in Kies)?

Recovery file helped to reboot phone. Any other files like STOCK, AP or CSC gives error. VEGA files give System error ans CSC files give cache error.

After reboot sPen and keyboard do FC. So basicly I'm stuck.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Drizzy xS:
I was wondering this too, like if we flash the new OTA will we lose root?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
on the sprint version at least. spoofing the system status and getting the ota update loses root. :(

luckily the ota is useless this time around.

Enhancements/Fixes

- Voicemail audio restored when connected to Galaxy Gear

- Restriction to benchmark sites removed

Important Notes

- Software version is MI5

- Refer to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Software Update article in Support for install instructions

another confirmation: flashing back to stock on sprint works without tripping flag.

Froze the KNOX notification app with TiBU and no more popups asking me to reboot.

This way of rooting did not trip the KNOX flag and mine still says Samsung Official on the ODIN download screen.

I have not tried OTA update but I have seen where someone did and lost root.

The only problem I had after following the instructions from OP was my WiFi flaked out. The phone said the my WiFi was too slow and kept turning on the cell radio for data. Did a hard reset and the problem was gone.

I do have Xposed Framework installed now.

I just read this thread to see any changes or updates. I rooted my unbranded phone using the old method, without the csc thing, and I have no problems whatsoever. Should I re-root with the new method or stay as is, I'm just worried that Ill encounter problems in the future.

Also my csc (via *#1234#) after rooting says N9005OXXBMJ1, I for got to check what it was before I rooted. Plugging in Kies3 tells me my csc is MJI (XTC), is that my correct csc? I'm asking this so Ill know which file to download in the first page if need be.

Just trying to get my head around this whole Knox thing.........

I haven't initialised it yet (if I have to) I've not gone anywhere near it tbh.

So, I can root with this method and my Knox will stay at 0 x 0

However if I apply a custom recovery or kernel my flag will trip to 0 x 1?

So...... if I can't apply a custom recovery without tripping to flag can I still install mods and other files without a custom recovery? i.e. Multipen window mod (allows any app in Pen window).

Thanks and confused.... :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mjcollum:
You've got it.

To install files just unzip the file you would normally flash and copy the files over manually with a file explorer that has root access [I use es file explorer] or adb into the phone and copy that way.

Thank you for asking mate

I have flashed it, the reason I am able to boot the device

I don't have an OTG cable, The problem is that after resetting the software, and through the setup process that i need to go through I HAVE ENTER SAMSUNG ACCOUNT DETAILS to go to the next step :(

I can't override this step as no way to do

I was thinking that accessibility options have a trick to use something other than a keyboard

I am unable to flash a FW, CSC or anything apart from what our developer designed for us :(
