Hi there just wanted to ask a quick question plz any of u know if we will have any chance to root our kitkat note 3 without tripping knox soon plz my build number is UENB5 many thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] per4rator:
Be sure LTE option is enabled by Your provider

& try to replace a SIM card with a new one (an old SIM may not have such option at all...).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Liquid Li0n:
I will ask for a new sim card. I am from Belgium but my phone is sim unlocked but found out that my CSC is from TIM (Italian provider), so I flashed the TIM kitkat rom from sammobile.

I assume that they support 4G as well but the option is simply missing in the rom...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] louiscar:
To me this is a perfectly valid complaint since so many people chose Samsung due to it's SD card support. Samsung have colluded with Google to make this virtually useless or so severely crippled as to deny any meaningful use of the card.

I would also point out (if it ever comes down to it), that Samsung failed to warn users that accepting the Kitkat update had consequences that would likely break apps and potentially result in the loss of data, given they knew exactly how some people utilise their SD cards.

I have so far refused the Kitkat update. I am fast coming to your way of thinking ... Knox Smox, it has to be done now.

Hi all,

i just got my Note 3 and read a lot around.

Still i can't find anyone with my same parameters :

AP : N9005XXUDMJ7

CP : N9005XXUDMJ7

CSC : N9005TIMDMK2

Can i use URDLV ? if not, is there any other method ?

thank you !
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] toastido:
It even states clearly in the op, mentioning mj7 SPECIFICALLY.... perhaps you didn't actually read.

Sent from my leanKernel 2.5.1 powered stock 4.4.2 (NE6) SM-N900T
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] adario73:
Sorry, i didn't state well.

I did actually read, but then i saw around somebody who rooted MJ7 without tripping knox.

That's why i thought maybe the O.P. wasn't updated from a while.

No problem for me, if there is no solution i'll trip that knox!

thank you for your answer.

Will this root an sm-900A?? I have just brougth one from ebay and well is unlock i use it mexico so is an international phone now so im not using att&t serivces help le please
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Chalao:
No worries mate, you can´t damage your phone unless you pull the USB cable while Odin didn´t finish flashing. The worst thing that can happen is that you trigger Knox which is also not a big deal if you don´t do crazy things with your phone ;)
​

Depends on the firmware you are running on....
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] darkhelio:
So it's possible because it's 4.4.2 right?​
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] darkhelio:
I have found my frimeware on sammobile but is 4.3 and my note 3 is 4.4.2 i should not download it and flash it rigth?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Chalao:
Exactly, once you are on 4.4.2 you cannot downgrade anymore. If you are on stock and just want root the best way to go is with Chainfire's Auto-root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] darkhelio:
Oh OK thanks bit cf auto root do not support my device... is the sm-900a I'm using the phone in Mexico like international version but I don't know With file I should take brother :\
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cadguycad:
Hi all,

can i confirm...

i have a sn9005 rooted without knox tripped on stock 4.3 Mj7.

can i update to 4.4.2 stock using firmware from sammobile and then root using this method without tripping knox?

or is there an easier way?

thanks very much
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shayind4:
Dont use this method. Use mobile odin pro to flash 4.4.2 firmware then flash 4.4.2 bootloader separately. Check similar instructions here:

So, MJ7 can't be rooted without tripping knox, but some people in this thread are reporting they rooted MJ7 and remained with 0x0.

How is this possible?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] louiscar:
I assume by rooting MJ1 then updating to MJ7.

Oh... right. I didn't think of that possibility.

It appears to me that it is an encoded date: YMD - with Y of A = 2001, M of A = January, and D = day of month.

MJ7=2013-10-07

I've now tried both the Universal and Verizon-specific DLV methods. So far the VZW method fails at writing cache & the Universal fails at the end of writing system.

N900VVRUBMJE

I can see why the XDA DEVS are reluctant to support non-dev phones these days. Rooting is becoming tedious compared to the S4, S3, N2 days.

A carrier that offers a locked bootloader is a carrier I'd switch from ASAP.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] andrewilley:
A carrier that offers a locked bootloader is one I would never have bought from in the first place.

Andre
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
It fails while writing to your device? I don't think that should happen, unless maybe the cable is bad. Do multiple attempts at writing URDLV always fail at the end of system and multiple attempts at writing VRDLV always fail at writing cache?

I haven't looked at this in a while but I don't think cache is necessary. The modification script only changes the system partition and it just copies cache from the stock source. So you could try URDLV with only system. First flash the stock firmware to get cache and then flash system from VRDLV (or URDLV, both should be identical), followed by the rest of the procedure (copy files, reboot, etc).

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DrPhant0m:
The link/method that I included in the post you quoted was specific to -MI9 firmware. At that time, MJE was the latest out there. I succeeded in rooting the N3 and keeping MI9 software.

Since then, I updated to Beans's NC2 pre-rooted ROM... and never had to stop at MJ7 or MJE in between.

If you had the misfortune of getting a Note 3 with the MJE firmware on it... my understanding is that the only confirmed methods to getting root are the "shady" ones (kingo, vroot) that were not developed by XDA devs.

If you're still unrooted on MJE, your options are to apply kingo or vroot and then immediately apply the NC2 method... or OTA to NC4 and then apply towelroot. Be advised that NC2 is preferred to NC4 because NC2 includes some level of openness, since it was a test release with certain features that were never meant to see the public. These features may lead to exploits that could include custom kernels, and/or an unlockable bootloader. NC4 does not show promise of this.

The choice is yours, and yours alone... good luck. (Any 90s kids just nostalgia after that line?)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] ProfEngr:
Solved....

Thanks for the replies. I stumbled across towelroot after I posted originally. After spending 6hrs on the other 2 methods and Kingo, the TR apk had MJE rooted w/o tripping KNOX in the time it took to reboot the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
Can you provide a url for the APK?

I'm a bit confused whether he's solved the problem with Knox for Note 3's other than Verizon / AT&T. He only mentions kernel versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
It looks like he started with AT&T and Verizon but has expanded to HTC and possibly everything with kernels older than 2014-06-03, except for some he mentions that have locked bootloaders (but not except the SM-N900V).

I ran the APK on my rooted SM-N900V/4.3 and it did not report that the exploit failed. It installed the root files OK because it was already rooted, but the exploit is probably a different procedure. I might go back to stock and try this because I'm not comfortable with the security hole RDLV provides.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] louiscar:
Let us know your findings. I would also like to find out about SM-N9005 variant, if anyone wants to give it a go, although I am assuming if it roots knox will still trip but I'm pretty much close to giving up on trying to keep that intact.

BTW. What's the security hole for RDLV? If we forget about knox I was assuming chainfire's method or Kingo was a better way to go but there's a lot of confusion .. in my mind at least.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
It's a low priority because that phone has been replaced, so it may be weeks before I take the time to restore/reroot it.

Isn't this the same phone? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53558714

I don't think this has been published by anyone yet so it should be spread rapidly. The RDLV exploit patches a file which is run during the boot process. That patch looks for and executes the script that you later copy to the sdcard; this script installs 'su' during the next boot and then you delete it before rebooting again.

The security hole is that the script is still looked for during every boot and executed if it exists. Prior to Android 4.4 this script on '/sdcard' could be written to by ANY application, so ANY application could create it with instructions to do something with root priveleges when the device is booted. This might be why 4.4 took away /sdcard write priveleges to applications.

The fix is to edit the file that was patched and delete the line that runs the script on /sdcard. Remount the system partition as writable (mount -o remount,rw /system) and open '/system/bin/prepare_param.sh' in a text editor. Delete the line with "root_de_la_vega.sh" on it (line 6). Save the file and remount system as read-only (mount -o remount,ro /system). If you want to restore it to its original content, that line was:

# Wait until finishing driver loading.

Kingo is still closed source for some devices and Kingo has already employed data mining with their root exploit so Kingo is not an option.

It looks to me like RDLV is the most secure, if you apply my fix above. The towel method might be more secure but it is not open source so we can't tell.

Frank

ADDED:

I don't know anything about Chainfire's method.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] louiscar:
I may try it shortly.

Yes. I've since trawled through most of the thread and see that some are reporting success with 4.3 which is what I have.

Many thanks for this useful information, and I agree about it needing to be spread. If this could be added to the OP that would be great. For now I will copy and paste this in my Samsung notes.

As for Kitkat's sdcard security, I don't believe Google's reason for removing write access is anything to do with security. Call me a sceptic but 1) Google don't like Sdcards - patently obvious from their machines lacking a slot and 2) If anything can write to your internal memory, I fail to see why that is any different. It's one reason I didn't allow the upgrade to Kitkat - I use my sdcard in ways that Google obviously don't want me to.

With root I know I can override that but for how long before it's no longer a matter of altering a simple xml file?

Another good point and one that I was not aware of. Thanks again, it's deleted from my list of options.

I think his was the first method to come out and I do trust him but I know little about how it's done.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Frank Westlake:
Thanks. Chainfire has not demonstrated any reason for mistrust and this recovery replacement method seems reasonably secure.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Appreciate the concern, but that was done intentionally so if you have to wipe your phone you can simply drop the zip on the sdcard and have root again without having to flash the entire firmware over again. If you don't like the scripting remaining modded, comment out the line looking for the sdcard files.

Just tried it and it doesn't look like it is working.

I just tried it using URDLV version 0.5, and even through the .tar.md5 was successful in creation (said System Hook Found) and flashing was successful, no root seems to be present. So which means the root_de_le_vega script file is not being ran.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] madmaverickmatt:
Did you try installing supper user afterwards?

Also seeing as it didn't work, did it still trip Knox?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ellises:
Since that script didn't ran, none of the binaries got copied over so manually installing super user doesn't work either (it gives you a root error.)

And knox didn't get tripped.

So I'm looking over the urdlv.sh script file and I notice in the hookSystem() function where it has the path for the script to be ran, it has the path as "/data/media/0" and as far as I know, lollipop no longer uses this path to link to the internal storage. I believe it is "/storage/emulated/0" now.

So what I'm going to do is make some changes to the script file, remake the odin image and try again to see what happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] phonexpert_alex:
So...I guess you bricked it? Any update?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ellises:
