Press it, the text on the button is "root". Then keep your eye on your phone, you need to allow the program to run and it will restart several times.

It is great program, but unfortunately the developer is come from China.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgjones:
Yes, I had to unplug the USB, plug it back in then permanently enable access of my PC on my phone. I clicked the green button and now have root access.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgjones:
How do I check this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Click volume down + power button + home button.

Then you will boot to download mode. Then click volume up to continue. See all counter is it 0x0.

Yes, I can confirm that the Knox Kernel Lock is 0x0 and also the Knox Warranty Void is 0x0

System Status is 'Custom'
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Congratulation! :cool:

For the system status, you can change it to official by using Wanam Xposed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Polarizado:
does it works for every rom? (mj1,mj3,...)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
I think yes. Because the site didn't mention about firmware, just mention about devices only.

Are you bothering whether it will work with your phone with latest firmware update??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgjones:
Even though I set it to 'Official' in Wanam Xposed, it remains at 'Custom' on the Odin Download Screen

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Are you sure you already set it to official correctly?

Check on your setting > general > about device > status > device status

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgjones:
MI6 firmware

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Yes, I'm using Wanam Xposed properly, double checked that I have it set to 'Official' in Wanam, but it still shows as 'Custom' on both the Download Screen and the Device Status screen.

It's no big problem, but stops me downloading official updates, that's all.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRecRuiT89:
So doesnt it work with N900 (exynos models)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Did you enable Wanam module in Xposed?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Yes. If your device model didn't mention in op, it will not work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgjones:
If you mean, did I allow root access for Wanam Xposed, then yes I did.

DONT flash via ODIN this will trigger Knox

I'll give a try sometime soon then.

hopefully with the new OTA update or something
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @esther:
I did it with mj3 firmware and i have knok 0.0 and status oficial. All perfect, is necesary to make several restarts for to see status oficial, in a previus moment show custom and then oficial :D

[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
You can install other root manager, but not super su from CF. Because it need to install special binary, so better don't take the risk.

Did you update your firmware before? List down step by step, how you attempt to change status to official.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
I rooted my phone with the Root de La Vega method.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
You didn't click "install/update" button in xposed? @@
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
I did! haha just forgot to mention.

It seems like the error is due to me freezing SysScope!

now it's all fixed! Device Status - Official!

Thanks man :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Don't simply freeze or uninstall system app. Refer to app which safe to uninstall thread in forum.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
^^ my bad.. I probably followed a guide of a person that did not need/want OTA updates.

hmm. do you have a safer list to follow?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] harold5249:
Why don't you search?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470862
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
thanks haha... but that's the list I used.

in the community spreadsheet, SysScope was safe to remove

after figuring this out, I updated the Spreadsheet to show that SysScope is needed for the "official" device status.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dral29:
Finally! A knox friendly root that allows you to keep all your data!!! The chinese language got me scare but your instructions gave an idea of what to do. The message that you mention did appear for me but just before knox gave me a block notification because a application was trying to have acces and within a second I receive the message but I couldnt touch "ok" as you mention because the device rebooted right away. For the record it only did once. I let it sit because you mention it will reboot many times but nothing happened. I went in, notice that Superuser was installed. I check with "rootchecker" and the happy message appear "Congratulations..." :D

Guys, give it a try even if it is intimidating to do it in an other language. Keep in mind you can always use "google translate" for the page but not the program itself, just fallow instructions and let the program do the rest. Again for me it booted only once!.

Thanks

Sometimes solution comes from other source than the great white society... (Isn't Samsung a Korean Company?)

It's all Chinese to me but as far as I can tell, IT WORKS!!!

As for applications been installed, I would like to believe that it has to do with the "exploit" required to root the system.

If, as some conspiracy theorist would like to believe that some Chinese evil corporation is trying to gain access to my banking info, well...

They'll have just enough for a coffee or two.

I updated to MJ1 under "Root de la Vega" and was unable to keep Official Status afterward, using Wanam.

So, I read on line a few days back that Samsung was releasing update MJ4 for the SM-N900W8 and decided to use the KIES to update.

Worked like a charm, lost SU and root in the process but was able to complete the full update using KIES.

Since "De la Vega isn't compatible anymore, I decided to go with the VROOT option.

took about 2 minutes to Root,

Only thing was those programs (4 of them) requiring my OK to install. One of them, an MTKCamera app and others likely related to the rooting User access.. So, not really concerned about it... as for the connection, I'll assume it is to keep the VROOT software up to date

I have regained Official Status by the way using WANAM.

To sum it all up, I don't have any problem getting rooted from a Computer Wiz from China as I didn't have any problem getting rooted from a Computer Wiz from Utah.

I can only say...

THANK YOU!!!
