[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DrPhant0m:
... I thought some users were reporting that (certain revisions of) Kingo did work with KK releases. Surely with all the different carriers and firmware versions, it's very much a case-by-case thing... but I thought it did work for some. Perhaps they were international users, with carriers that care not for locking down the hardware as much as Verizon does.

I have a feeling that my KK update has been back-burnered in favor of the S5 release. As the S5 is now on it's way to becoming "the previous big thing" (see what I did there?)... I'm trying to educate myself on the potential of rooting a 4.4.x release for my Verizon Note 3.

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: No. Read the first post of this thread.

Slightly longer answer: No. Read the first post of this thread... Then see my post #1773 to figure out where you stand with MK3.

The longest answer I'm willing to provide: No. Read the first post, keeping in mind that you're on MK3. It says clearly:

===> "MK2 or higher" includes your MK3 build.

So, you can't "safely" root it... assuming "safely" to you means that you won't trip knox. You may be able to achieve root, but not without tripping knox. It's debatable whether or not you should care about tripping knox, though.

My thoughts on knox... (a reiteration)

If you have had your phone more than 30 days... and you don't require knox security for work or other security-sensitive applications... you probably won't notice a difference in your usage. Some people (myself at first) care about tripping knox just because you can't get it back to 100% stock, and for seemingly no other reason. If you intend to sell your phone on the open market eventually... a tripped knox counter will probably decrease the value, in spite of the fact that buying a used phone voids the warranty to begin with... and no one that's buying a business phone with strict security needs should be getting it from a third party. But... that's another conversation altogether. One I've already had not long ago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
I seems to me that you need only examine a running system and find a program of a necessary minimum length, find the beginning offset of that program in the stock system partition file, and overwrite it with a temporary replacement 'su' binary created to the same length. Then you could install and run the modified firmware and use your temporary 'su' to further modify the system. The 'de la Vega' procedure does something very similar. The camera application left by Kingo might merely be a remnant of that procedure -- something that was used to fill space.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DrPhant0m:
I'm not saying that I did tons of research... but when I got my Note 3 last month... I tried to get to the bottom of Kingo to see why it was banned from xda, and all that... Why am I hearing more specifics about it so casually now, when I didn't turn up these results when I looked deeper? I subscribed to kingo-specific threads, and didn't learn some of the stuff that I've heard today.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DrPhant0m:
My understanding is that (in order of increasing complexity of getting it to work)

1) We'd no longer have S-Pen Support

2) There would be a lot of tweaks to get it to theoretically run on the Note 3, resulting in the ROM no longer being correctly signed, and SafeStrap not allowing it.

3) The kernels are likely different, and with a locked bootloader, that's a definite roadblock to actually getting it to run on the Note 3.

2) & 3) are not an issue... as long as you are one of the 20 people that own the Developer's Edition... or you're on a carrier that has not locked the bootloader. Unfortunately, Verizon locked my bootloader.

Hi all

I'm having an I9506 in my hands and whole last night I was trying to root it using this method...I'm a computer technician so with my basic knolwdge I've managed to make cygwin work so as to "patch" the official firmware from sammobile, I've flashed the patched firmware several times but no luck!

Not any superuser app is installed and if I install it from playstore I got the message no su binary is installed .....

I'm on 4.3 Knox enabled, flashing with odin is working fine, tried to three pc and one laptop with xp and win7, even a different cable...it must have something to do with the emulated internal storage that these new devices are working with? So the root_de_la_vega.sh script cannot find its way through? Please help...not any knox trigger so far so everything is ready and ok!

I'm nearly at the end to achieve it, I just need some little help from someone who knows about these linux scripts and understands how they work...

Hi, thanks for the reply, may i know whats NC2?, means we'll need to wait or any solutions for me to ROOT it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
NC2 is the baseband. You can root with CF-AutoRoot, but you'll trip Knox. Then again, if you're rooting, you're better off just tripping Knox and be done with it.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nutcase:
Why do you say that you are just better off tripping KNOX If you are going to root? I mean not tripping it keeps your warranty and you can still root....
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
First of all, rooting voids warranty, Knox status not withstanding. Second, there probably won't ever be a working RDLV for the newer bootloaders from what I've read; that exploit has been patched. You'll go nuts trying to keep root and Knox 0x0. Not to mention that a root method that shouldn't trip Knox isn't guaranteed not to trip it, which is what happened to me. I followed followed the instructions to to he letter, and Knox still got tripped. I'm not bitter, I'd accepted that was a possibility before I even started. First rule of XDA is you take all responsibility for what you do to your device; if something doesn't work out it's nobody's fault.

To keep things simple, if you want to root, trip Knox. If you want to keep Knox 0x0, you shouldn't do anything.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] nutcase:
So if you root on a bootloader that is rootable and then update it it should still remain rooted though correct? As long as you don't flash a stock rom.

I completely understand that I am going ti be voiding my warranty and if I break the device its my own fault lol. I have been doing this for a while. Maybe for some people who are able to root with out tripping knox its worth the effort and if it gets trigged then so be it. It is a risk you are taking.

Hi,

I rooted devices before, using the method described in post #2. What I do not understand is this:

"Open a terminal to the directory containing URDLV.sh (not windows command prompt)"

Is there a Video somewhere showing stet by step how to do that?! I have a At&t Note 3 Model Numer Samsung-SM-N900A running Android Version 4.3...

thanks!!!

G

p.s. I understand that probably somewhere in this thread, someone way have asked the same question. Due to being extremely busy and NOT lazy, I cannot read through all these pages here. I hope someone understands and is kind enough to give me the info I need?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
'URDLV.sh' is a script which was written to be run in BASH and which uses other Linux programs (i.e. 'sed', 'grep'). The "terminal" is a program which can run BASH and provide the input and output that is required. This is all Linux stuff but there are a couple of systems of programs which have these Linux programs modified to work on Windows, and if you don't have Linux you need to install one of these systems on Windows. The installations are not difficult and are probably all completed a minute or three after a few button presses. I run Linux and am not familiar with any of those Windows systems but hopefully someone here will mention one that you can search for with Yahoo.

After the installation you will probably run its main program, which will probably be the terminal you need for 'URDLV.sh'. Then follow the instructions in this thread.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] neavissa:
Frank,

Thanks for the fast reply. I found a program called win-bash that allows me to run the script. HOWEVER, I have no idea how to run the script in "bash", ha ha. Unless someone has a video on how to do this whole thing, I am going to stay away from it. No time to figure out how to run the script, than do this, only so I can do that, so I can finally install something else, LOL. You know what I mean!

thanks,

Thanks for that, mate, nice way to put it all back in perspective. I'd been torn about this for the last two weeks since getting my 3 - root or don't root, knox or no knox - despite the fact that I rooted my S3 within 15 minutes of getting it home the day it was released!

Hey guys,

First of all, I know I'm in the Note 3 thread, but since the thread for my device seems to be a bit dead, and Note 2014's and note 3's hardwares are similar I figured I'd just ask here.

So, just got my P605 ((LTE model of the note 2014) in a store here in Portugal, and even though it is awesome as it is, I can't live without root xb

I know I'm going to trip Knox eventually, so off to the point:

My firmware version, according to *#1234# is as follows

AP: P605XXUBMJ9

CP: P605XXUBMJ4

CSC: P605ATOMBL1

The thing is, according to the OP's quoted text above (if I understood it correctly), I should search in SamMobile or google for my CSC, but I can't find it anywhere. I noticed, however, that there's a Portugal(TMN) version available in SamMobile, and TMN is my carrier, so I'd like to know if is there any problem in doing the URLD procedure with a "different" (I suppose its a different firmware, I'm coming from a Nexus device which is much simpler to root when compared to Samsung, or any other brand for that matter xb) version, like the one I mentioned above (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=22912)

Thanks in advance for all your answers ￼

PS. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't find the answer anywhere and that's why I asked... If that's the case, please point me in the right direction

PS2. I'm already assuming that I'll trip Knox, if there's anyway that I won't, even better ￼

sorry if that's spam but my question is:

are the developers of Universal Root de la Vega working on rooting KitKat 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
It's not spam, but it is a FAQ.

We'd all love someone to solve this of course, but the considered opinion amongst the more experienced developers at the moment is that it's probably not going to be possible (unless someone inside Samsung leaks their own hardware/software solution to do the job).

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
I'm not an expert,, but it's my understanding that the one advantage of this root method is that

if

(and only if) you have an older base firmware, you can get root without tripping Knox.

If you know you are going to trip Knox anyway, you'd be better just using the regular CF Auto Root anyway. If I'm wrong on this, I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me though.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TASL:
Was hoping to get this working for the Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos. I know I know... this is the ORIGINAL NOTE 3 forums... but as there is no posted root process for the SM-N7502, I have been trying every possible root technique available.

After running URDLV, using the FULL option, I have a file called N7502XXUANC4_N7502OLBANC2_N7502XXUANC4_HOME_VEGA.tar.md5 (4.3). I am able to flash this file and fully boot. I copy the SDCARD files as instructed, fully reboot, delete the SDCARD files, fully reboot... no root binary.

Question, does it not work for me because I did something wrong? Or does it not work for me because it was not designed for my model of phone? From the OP, it says that if the file has the correct system hooks (which URDLV verifies as true for the above listed firmware), is there someway to modify the remaining steps in order to make this work for my phone?

ps, I have already posted a recovery.img in CFAUTOROOT but perhaps the MSM8228 board is not compatible. I have also tried Framaroot, Various Chinese Root Tools, and anything on XDA with Universal in the title.

pps, I am a user. I do not know how to program, only how to explicitly follow instructions... just trying to migrate my Uncle's data from his old phone to the new one.

ppps, WTF LINE, how come the only effective way to restore all stored chat is to TIBackup and restore WITH the same Android ID!!!

Back Story

I've been researching for 2wks straight and still do not have a solid game plan

My research started after purchasing a note 3 from AT&T only to find out it could not be rooted because it was already running NC2 KK

So with one day left on my 14 day return ability via AT&T I decided to try and exchange it at one of the AT&T retail locations

for a Note 3 still on Jelly Bean

To my suprize they actualy had one in their entire stock still on MJ5 So in that respect I am Lucky

I am in no way new to android flashing modding and customization,

however this is my first run-in with Samsung's F****ing Locked Bootloaders and therefore I'Ve never had reason to use Safe Strap or any of the mess I've been reading about.

Now

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900AUCUBMJ5 and after 14 days of reading non-stop

"I still don't know my ass from a hole in the ground, So to Speak"

In other words where to go from here?

1.) is there a custom recovery available once rooted

2.) will it require Safe strap if so

3.) Is it recommended that I stay on MJ5 or should I Update to M9 Or the leaked KK or WTF?

4.a.) also is NC2 KK the only firmware that you can not downgrade from

4.b.) in other words if I were to try the Leaked KK would I be able to downgrade back to a Jelly Bean of my choice

5.) How do I go about making a system Dump Of my Stock firmware SM-N900AUCUBMJ5

6.) What would you do, "in my shoes"?

I really Need the Help of the Experts here at XDA Please, and Thank You in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
I gave up and rooted my new Note 3 yesterday (Knox, Schmox) as I found I was still using my older S3 rather than even bothering to take my new phone out with me, all due to a few relatively minor issues which I could fix in a few minutes once it was rooted.

The main deal-breakers for me were apps no longer being able to write to SDCard folders, the wired headset second and third buttons not being programmable for track control rather than the default volume control, and not being able to run my Samba filesharing app so the phone is always accessible from my home LAN.

All fixed now anyway, and if I ever have any problems with the hardware warranty I'll inform them that not being able to write to the SD Card made the phone "not fit for purpose", and I graciously fixed the problem for them rather than insisting on a refund as they were unable to repair it.
