[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] zroice:
Once you attained root with RDLV method, you guys can just use mobile odin pro to upgrade roms. What I did to get from URDLV rooted MJ7 X-Note 5 (installed with my kn0x0ut toolbox):

Get the stock ML2 from singapore (does not fit my country!)

Get the latest X-Note Version based on ML2.

Then used mobile odin to load the stock ML2 and left out everything beside the boot, modem, recovery and system partition. (hidden just contains bloatware crap, cache contains CSC which you better not flash if it doesnt fit your region). Since everything was stock and I didnt flash the CSC (which didnt change anyway from MJ7 to ML2) I kept my knox at 0x0 with new kernel, modem, recovery and system.

Then I used kn0x0ut to install the latest X-Note version and then finally copied the correct CSC folder for my country in its place. (/system/csc)

---

Got me X-Note 7 ML2 with knox 0x0.

But you can also dirty-flash the new X-Note version on top of the old. (but disable xposed before you do) - this worked also for me. (this was my first test - I didnt want to reroot stock with URDLV again so I just used kn0x0ut to install ML2 rom directly over my MJ7 and it worked fine.)

So maybe you can even skip the stock upgrade step. (but to be on the safe side I would recommend it)

---

TLDR: URDLV is perfect to attain root in the first place, but to upgrade rather do it with mobile-odin (just goes quicker and its pretty foolproof unless you flash wrong csc version..). But to first aquire root without tripping kn0x you gotta use RDLV anyway. (or should at least, as long as its still possible with your bootloader)

---

By the way [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION]: So Samsung commented on RDLV saying that it uses some exploit in the hashing of the system partition which does not detect the changes you make to the image. Can you maybe elaborate a bit on that? How far can we go when using modified system images flashed through odin or mobile odin? Any idea? Is it just possible because you didnt repack the system.img.ext4 sparse image or could we theoretically flash other customized system.img.ext4 files too? Any idea how the "signature" of the system image is checked by odin or knox respectively?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
I don't know the full details of how the system image is checked.

I originally tried repacking the image, but it always failed, even if I didn't change anything.

I also tried to do more edits, at a certain point tho, it broke and stopped flashing the image.

With the Verizon version I had to go so far as to find a new hook, one that ended up working on pretty much everything.

There isn't a whole lot you can do to the image before it detects it. Repacking it won't be possible unless you crack the bootloader.

It was dumb luck that I figured it out in the first place... I wasn't trying to root it at that point :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] heidisory:
I just went through creating the vega.tar, and going through odin I get an error. I assume that it's something super silly that I'm doing wrong, but I'm not finding much info when I search.

So that is my ODIN message line, and then on my phone it says "Unsupport dev_type"

This happens when I try to flash by dropping it in the CSC or PDA slot.

I'll admit, though I can flash custom roms, I'm a bit of a noob at this if things go wrong =/

Any ideas??

attached my De La Vega stuff too :)

Any news about note3 n9005 internatinal mk2 root?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] vinokirk:
Hello again designgears! I don't know if you remember me, but I was the first person to publicly test your RDLV method for the N9005, back in October :)

Just a quick question, (feel free to move this post if it's in the wrong thread), for some reason my phone won't hook up to any PC via USB (something must be buggered somewhere), so I want to do a factory reset to see if that will help.

If I do a factory reset from the bootloader will this retain root?

Just seen OP states it survives reset :)

My ultimate aim is to get a custom ROM on my device using the kn0x0ut method, but first things first :)

EDIT:

DAMN, since when does factory reset wipe internal SD?

USB still not working after reset.

Anyway, this kind of talk isnt for this thread, my apologies.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Big Cam:
Will tripping the knox sensor do anything other than void your warranty through Samsung or your carrier?? It won't affect how the phone works now or in the future right?

If so who cares. I am going to be buying a used note 3 any day now and I plan to root. Assuming the user kept it un-rooted and up to date, the only option I will have is to trip the knox sensor right?

Would the developer edition get around this? Is that version more rootable?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] heidisory:
I'll add that I've now tried on a Windows 8.1 and a windows 7 machine, used odin 1.85 3.07 and 3.09 and all with the same result.

I'm starting to think it's the firmware... but i could be wrong.

Now my knox question.

IF I burn the bit, and say 5.0 comes out. Can I flash stock and then OTA as usual? It sounds like knox doesn't manage that other than the normal "unsafe bootloaders can't update" which I'm used to.

New sm-p605

Hi

I just got my new 10.1 2014 tablet (sm-p605), which has the following info:

PDA: P605XXUBMJ9

CSC: P605OLBBMJ2

MODEM: P605XXUBMJ4

My understanding after reading many posts of this thread is that any CSC that is less then MJ4 ( which is the case of my tablet) can be safely rooted using URDLV without tripping the Knox bit.

However, when searching on XDA, I only found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554510

That threw doubt in my mind :confused: . Can someone clarify this?

Thanks

Give version 0.5 a try and let me know how it goes!

CSC shouldn't matter, it is AP, if you have a certain AP it means you likely updated via official channels and have a newer bootloader. I have heard mixed reports on that one, one failed and one succeeded.

Everywhere i look i see MJ7 MK1, but i never seem to find any info on mine...unless im reading it wrong. Just got T mobile version today, i dont believe it updated, but said there were no updates and just found that some auto update trigger was on.

Works in P601UBUBMJ4 firmware? Root and Knox 0x0?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Alexei Volkoff:
Perhaps this is a stupid question but I'm coming from my trustworthy, easy to root Note 2 and I'm still getting to gripes with this Knox thing, so forgive me my ignorance.

I just bought a Note 3 that was running MJ1 originally. I updated it and now it is running MJ3. Luckily I've found this thread before I applied the next update. My question is: if I root now it will not trip knox but if I apply the next update - I'm not quite sure if that is even possible once it's rooted - will it trip knox once it goes past MJ4? I am assuming that the next update will jump from MJ3 to something higher. Am I even making any sense here? Any help is appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] HokutoNoFred:
I have a last question before the update : what about the modem?

I have read that URDLV utility was removing the new bootloader (which trigger Knox flag) and the modem (why?).

If the modem is removed, will I keep the modem of my current version, or will my phone be without any modem?

Because the ROM update that I want to perform, will make me change my CSC (from BOG to XEF) so maybe my current modem will be fully erased...

So, does anybody have information about that modem aspect ?

Some security based applications might stop working, like DME. DME is a work-email/calender solution with remote wipe functionality that some firms require if you are to read your work-mail on your phone. If DME detects that the phone has been compromised - knox flagged or detects the phone being rooted - it will not start the application. So lets hope someone finds a way to overcome the KNOX issue in the future.
