Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for this awesome tool. Will be trying it (hopefully) later today, as long as this REALLY SLOW firmware download finishes sometime in the next century (ugh 1.4 GB of what exactly??)

I'm on MI5 so this should be no problem :)

However, I'd like to clarify something -- I've searched the thread, and it's been asked a couple of times but never actually answered -- if I flash the same AP / CSC (MI5), will it wipe anything? I'm actually doing this on the lady's phone so I don't wanna force her to reload her stuff.

I don't think it will but I just wanted to clarify first. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
When I rooted mine yesterday I backed up everything with Helium and in-app backup (where available), and nothing actually got wiped. But having backups is never a bad idea.

That 1.4GB has a lot of bloat in it lol. After I was rooted I spent a while in TiBU deleting tons of bloat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] brangalm:
Thanks for that.

It's weird when you're used to CM ROMS, that are usually sub-200 MB, and then you see this 1.4 GB monstrosity.

My main issue with it is that the terafile webhosting site is just sooooooooo slow. I've downloaded 100 MB in 2 hr.

Can't wait to root so that I can backup her stuff with Helium and remove bloat and other stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sauron82:
You don't need root for Helium, but it only backs up.

Trouble Flashing firmware

I need help. In many ways, but I need help trying to figure out why Odin wont flash the newly created firmware.

1. I'm on a window 8.1 machine.

2. I have the Verizon Galaxy Note 3.

3. I was on the update before MJE rooted with the previous RDLV. I updated to the latest firmare (MJE) from beanstown using ODIN 3.09.

4. I did this because I wanted to put on the latest cleanrom from Scrolsler (Hate Bloat)

5. I did all the steps in the OP. I did have problems extracting to output but was helped by crasher to resolve that issue. Thanks a thousand-billions times.

Now my biggest problem is that the modded firmware flash from URDLV fails at the last second.

1. I downloaded the firmware from SAMOBILE (TOOK FORE EVER)

2. I followed the steps in the OP and it fails at the last second every time.

3. I even created a custom firmware from BEANSTOWN link and same result.

4. I can still flash back to the original firmware from SAM Mobile or beanstown link every time but cannot flash the custom firmware without a fail.

Here is some copies of URDLV output

As far as I know the T-Mobile version has not yet had an update so you can still root without tripping knox
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cgadgetz:
I had a note 3 since day one. Someone stole it so I just got a replacement. I had the old one rooted, safe strap installed and running hyperdrive. I'm just trying to get back there but it seems there have been changes to the root method. Right now I'm on MI9. I was searching through this thread but I have to admit I'm a bit lost. Maybe i'm reading things wrong or I'm having a brain fart, I'm not getting the first step where is says use terminal but not windows cmd prompt. I hate to ask but can someone just point me in the right direction. I'd greatly appreciate it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] crasher:
If you are using Windows, Google and download cygwin. That provides you with a terminal. If you are on Linux, you should know what is a terminal...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
It probably needs to use an alt hook. I will look at it when I get some time. (PS4 is consuming it all atm)

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hey_joe:
Have a read here. You can update to latest PDA without tripping knox in addition to installing custom roms.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] brangalm:
Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone in this thread, especially designgears! I'm now rooted with Wanam xposed installed and my knox still 0x0!!

I did have a couple of roadblocks along the way, so I thought I'd provide the steps I took here:

1. Use the *#1234# in phone dialer to find your AP / CSC

2. Go to SamMobile -- firmware -- enter your CSC into top right corner

3. Download firmware (yes, it's huge, mine was 1.4 GB)

4. Once it's done, extract it so that you get a .tar.md5 file

5. Install cygwin (on Windows) -- it's your "terminal"

6. Extract the URDLV file into a simple folder, for example C:\temp (this will simplify things for you)

7. Bring your .tar.md5 file into the same folder (C:\temp)

8. Open up cygwin.

9. Navigate to your folder -- eg, type in: cd c:\temp

10. Run the URDLV script using the 'full' command

So for me, it was:

./URDLV.sh full c:\temp\N900W8VLUBMI5_N900W8OYABMI5_N900W8VLUBMI5_HOME.tar.md5

11. Hopefully you should have a successful output (it can take a couple of min)

12. Look in the 'output' folder in your temp folder, should have a file that looks similar but has VEGA.tar.md5

13. Turn off your phone

14. Reboot into download mode -- hold Vol Down + Home + Power buttons

15. Press Vol Up to continue

16. Open Odin 3.09 on comp

17. Plug in USB

18. Look that Odin detected your phone (blue-filled ID:COM box)

19. Make sure "re-partition" is NOT checked, whereas "Auto Reboot" and "F. reset time" should be checked already.

20. Load up your new VEGA.tar.md5 in the AP BOX ONLY -- I did not load any others (no CSC, no CP, etc)

21. Start!

22. Once done, your phone will reboot a couple of times. Let it finish.

23. Extract the RDLV_sdcard zip file -- you should get a .sh file and a folder.

24. Plug your phone back in. Open up the Phone directory (not the SD card if you have one in your phone).

25. Move these two extracted files (root_files folder + .sh file) to the root of the Phone.

26. Reboot the phone.

27. While it's starting up Android, there should be an "updating apps..." dialog box or something to that extent.

28. Check your app drawer, SuperSU!

29. Plug your phone back in, delete the files you copied (the root_files folder and the .sh file).

30. Disconnect your phone.

31. Reboot phone.

32. Run SuperSU.

33. Celebrate!

Thanks again everyone!

Edit: also, forgot to mention, this did not erase ANY of my data. No wipe necessary.

So I think I'm beginning to understand all this. Alas, I have MJ4. Shame that Samsung hates developer communities so much, but I really don't care at this point about triggering Knox. Everytime I see bloat garbage like the Samsung Push, my blood boils. My phone is encased in an Otter Box, I'll just have to hope my phone lives forever.

I know there's a fix in the works for Kingo's method that addressed MJ4 firmware to make it up to XDA standards, but I just don't think I have the patience for that. Besides, my renter's insurance will cover my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] topdee:
ok, i'll give it a try, thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mangee1234:
So i have went to Sam Mobile and searched in Google. ..is there firmware available for the galaxy note 3 running MJ5 ???
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] s2kdriver80:
Sorry couldn't find or must have missed it, but what enhancements does v0.5 have? Was v0.4 skipped? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DrawnToLife:
v0.4 definitely happened although I can't find a changelog either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] s2kdriver80:
Yea same here. I was hoping that the Knox-trip issue was fixed for all firmwares but apparently not the case as per the first post.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mcarbaja:
I tried both full and csc. I'm getting these errors. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DsturbD:
i only used full. i opened a terminal at the directory i have URDLV.sh and type ./URDLV.sh full and then a space, i then had a nautilus window open where i had the tar.md5 file in and i dragged the file into the terminal window. this will put the full path of the firmware on the command line so it looks like this

./URDLV.sh full '/home/username/Downloads/Android/Note3/N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME.tar.md5'
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Ohhh, I see why... fixing!

For some reason the files are named cache.img and system.img instead of .img.ext4

Hey guys, I can see someone is making some steps forward with URDLV, but is there any changelog? I used 0.2 and then I updated. What if I want to flash the original update and root from there, is the update now supported? Update is MJ7 MJ7 MJ4

Thanks

Also, is there any news about knox? Is there a dedicated topic?

Inviato dal mio GT-N5100
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mcarbaja:
Yes, same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] and2:
you can try to rename the cache.img and system.img to *.img.ext4 and leave them in the output folder. Then start RDLV from the begining. It will create the cache.img and system.img but will search the hook in the *.img.ext4 file. The system file has a size about 2130MB.

Hi guys, I'm currently on:

AP: N9005XXUBMJ1

CSC: N9005OLBBMI3

And I'm rooted with Root De la Vega.

I would like to update the firmware to the latest and root my note 3 without tripping knox. What's the latest stock firmware I should update to for use with root De la Vega for my note 3 without tripping knox?

As I've read on the first post that certain versions if using this method would trip knox.

I'm in Singapore and using a Singapore note 3 by the way. Supposedly to be the international version of note 3?

Thanks guys!

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] crasher:
If you are already rooted then there are no worries. Just follow the instructions. Alternatively, it will be easier to use mobile Odin pro. Just load the tar.md5 from sammobile and make sure you select everroot. I did my rooting using URDLV and upgrade with MOP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PleaseClickHere:
Means I can just download firmware from sammobile and then follow the instructions to root ?

But I saw the instructions that any versions and above would trip knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] crasher:
You have to understand how this method roots and what has happened to the bootloader. If it is confusing, use MOP. Load and flash. Simpler.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mcarbaja:
There are no files in the output folder. I tried moving both cache.img and system.img to the output folder and renaming them there to img.ext4 but it still didn't do the trick.

I re-downloaded the firmware thinking it was a bad download, it took about 6 hours to finish but I keep getting the same error

It´s a fail. The tool can´t create the tar file because it can´t find the folder "output" to drop the file there. Did you delete them accidentally?

U would need to open the terminal and from terminal direct to the Universal folder itself before executing the URDLV command.

What devices are supported?

Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)

Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.

If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

Sorry for a noob question because I actually not so sure which too refer to the bootloaders. Below is my *#1234*

AP : N9005XXUDMJ7

CP : N9005XXUDMJ7

Same error I had. designgears had already replied with the solution. If you didn't see that, then know that you have to change folders (cd in cygwin) to the folder of URDLV.sh before you execute it. Here's an example in cygwin terminal.

$ cd <full path of the folder where URDLV.sh is located>

$ ./URDLV.sh full <full path of tar.md5>

update from URDLV MJ3 to URDLV MJ7 or MK2 ?

Hey

Anyone already rooted with URDLV (with old bootloader) has updated using URDLV to MJ7 or MK2 ? Currently I am running MJ3 rooted (originally on MI7 - debranded URDLV MI7 - URDLV MJ3)

Did this trip the knox ?

Did you use Odin only to flash the 2 modified files from URDLV or did you also copy the other files from original firmware ?

NON-HLOS.bin <- extracted from original firmware

boot.img <- extracted from original firmware

cache.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV

hidden.img.ext4 <- extracted from original firmware

modem.bin <- extracted from original firmware

recovery.img <- extracted from original firmware

system.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] vipa:
Did it couple of weeks ago - everything is fine knox is still 0x0.

I was on MJ1 ->

rooted with URDLV ->

patched the original MK2 system.img with URDLV script ->

used TAR_MD5_PACKAGER to put ALL parts (excluding bootloader: aboot.mbn) back into tar ->

flashed with ODIN ->

Now running rooted MK2 ROM with knox still 0x0.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Big Cam:
So I just bought a note 3 that was supposedly never turned on. If that is the case I should be on an old enough version that I could root without tripping Knox, right?

Also can I do the root process without activating my phone, or do I have to do that before starting. I figured by rooting before activating, there'd be no chance of the update happening.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] GalaxHe:
Old enough version, only powering it will proove it... How old is the phone ?

I rooted after starting the phone a first time and had no issues. If you get an update notification, don't install it. Or first thing to do is to disable the updates in the phone settings. I don't get what you mean by "activating" the phone... Probably you mean configuring it. If you root and you do a factory reset, this has the effect to ask you again to configure the phone when you start it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Big Cam:
I don't know exactly how old it is. It's going to be delivered today. What I meant by activating it was putting in my Verizon sim and activating it on the network.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] antt00:
No offense but how is someone suppose to answer you with vague subjective terms like 'old' and assumptions. You need to give the rom version.
