I was rooted awhile ago on 4.1.1 with clockworkmod recovery installed. I then installed an over the air update to 4.1.2 and most recently the OTA update to 4.3. I have tried to install TWRP and the latest CWmod and get pass in ODIN versions 3.07 and 3.09. I then go to get in to the recovery and install the supersu and knox removal script and can only access the stock recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you flash recovery with odin, did you uncheck f.reset and uncheck auto reboot?

I recently forgot about it my self and had to remember... uncheck f.reset, uncheck auto reboot, select your file via the pda button in odin , make sure the phone is in odin mode/download mode, fkash the recovery of your choice, when it says pass remove the usb cable and pull the battery from the phone. Now reinsert the battery press volume up, the home key then the power key when you see the word samsung release the power key hold the other two till your custom recovery appears...

Encryption

Nobody ever answered Frozen's questions. I have read in other posts on this forum that having the phone's data encrypted and running the rooting process will render the phone a brick. I have been attempting to root my S3, and each time I run Odin, the download fails. Does this have anything to do with the encryption?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noxiousnic:
That's not it.

I have a brand new S3 from Virgin Mobile Canada (e.g Bell), never installed SuperSU on this phone before running CF-Autoroot, and now, like others, not rooted, and can't uninstall SuperSU, or run it. The pile of c**p that is Knox is in the way...

That's with the latest CF-Autoroot for the SGH-I747M, dated Feb 27th.

Going to try to go the classic way, eg. custom recovery route to get root.

<rant on>

By the look of things, not getting an S4., S5, or any other Samsung device in the future (unless they're sent to me free of charge as testing devices) as I want full access to all my Android devices, be them testing/development assets, or my main phone : I chose Android for that reason, and that reason only, as my "smartphone" platform.....

I can understand shipping Knox on devices directly bought by a corporation to equip their employees CYOD style, or even have it as an option when you buy the darn thing in a store, as if it can be removed too easily, it defeats its purpose entirely.

But that's not the case : I take care of my "security", thank you :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
There is always a risk of bricking in flashing any custom ROM and even the creator of the ROM will advise you to proceed at your own peril. You'd need to do your research on any custom ROM before you flash and check that it wont muck with your bootloader. Normally, most custom ROMs don't come with their own bootloaders but rely on manufacturers' and stock bootloaders to run. You need to establish, however, that the ROM you are trying to flash wont attempt to downgrade your bootloader. Most of them don't but you'd still need to make certain. You can disable Knox in a variety of ways. The simplest of these is from the phone's own settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pop45398:
Can anyone confirm whether flashing recovery via Odin does or does not set the warranty bit? No where in this thread have I read where flashing TWRP via Odin sets the warranty bit. I assume it does as the bit set when I merely copied the TWRP recovery image file replacing the stock recovery file via Terminal Emulator.

BTW, as mentioned in my previous post here, SafeRoot works on i747 with OTA 4.3. It does not trip the warranty bit and is very fast and easy compared to the other methods listed in the OP. Simply connect your S3 to your PC and run install.bat and it will disable Knox and permanently root your phone in a few seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Flashing custom recovery via Odin does trip the warranty bit. Guess you are indeed right about SafeRoot being a viable alternative.

question on recoveries

I started to follow a different root method for my i747 on 4.3. I installed CWM with a .tar file in odin, and when I booted into recovery, I was not able to mount the sd card. So I am not rooted. The method I followed said to install cwm first, then root it through recovery, well like I said, no Sd card. Is there any way I can root it like this? Or any way to remove the CWM and install TWRP? So I can try to follow the OP directions and still get root? Desperate over here to get this done ASAP!

I have a SGH- I747M (S3 LT3) from Telcel(Mexico) and I was going crazy cause my carrier is lazy as ****.

Now I'm running SlimRom 4.4.4!:D

A few things I had to different :

3) Reboot to recovery then flash Superuser and the Knox Remover Here I had problems at first with SuperSu , the reason was that I flashed version 2 first . what I did was flash version 1.65 and then the rest was as expected, update from the store and then the binary's

Also at first I couldn't flash any roms... so after a lot of reading I decided to update TWRP to the latest version(the version I used at first was 2.6.3.0) to 2.7.1.0 and then boom it worked!

Easiest root method I've ever seen. Probably one of the safest too since you aren't flashing anything.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
NF2 is the latest build for some carriers I747M's. If you have the I747M and are updated to the NF2 kitkat build, Towelroot will not work because it was patched in that update. If you are running NE6 or earlier, it should work. Ive only seen it confirmed on 4.3 and 4.4.2, so if yours is using a build earlier than 4.3 I don't know for certain it will work, but I believe it should and won't hurt to try.

Why do you want knox? It will not work. By installing twrp, the warranty bit will have been tripped which completely disables knox. There is no way to reset this.

But to get back to full stock, with knox included, just flash the 4.3 firmware with Odin.

To Flash or Not to Flash?

Hi

Forgive me but I am a complete novice to this. I tried rooting my wife's galaxy note 2 running on android 4.3 after sucessfully rooting my own note 2 running android 4.2. Unfortunately with the wife's phone, I got stuck in a boot loop where the phone would hang on boot up. After much pain and about 8 attempts at re-flashing I finally put the phone into 'recovery mode' and did a reset. That got the phone up and running but...

The upshot is that SuperSu is still there as I get a SuperSu has stopped working message on every reboot but I don't have root access...all because of that blasted, insideous peice of trash called Knox. It has been a painful experience for me but eventually I found myself here on this site.

The question is, since I have already done a reset (the one available in recovery mode)... would it be okay to just skip that part and go ahead with the knox removal? To be honest I am loathed to try anything at this moment in time as this has totally deflated me...but I cannot rest with a phone that is, for all intents and purposes, in no-mans-land. By the way I get that insideous shield come up telling me SuperSu is blocked every time I try to start it.

I really need to get this sorted...can someone please help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
For starters, this is the S3 forum, so you may want to use the Note2 forums in the future for better help.

I think your best bet would be to flash your stock firmware via Odin. Then use Towelroot for rooting. Basically you run the app, install SuperSU from the store, open it and let it update its binary. It will also disable knox for you.

You could try Towelroot w/o the firmware flash first if you like btw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 204duke:
So I'm not completely new at this, I rooted my S3 before when it was running 4.2 but now that it's updated to OTA 4.4 I'm having difficulties.

When I flash TWRP using odin, it tells me it worked, I get the PASS message and my phone reboots. Try to boot into recovery to continue to root but it's still the android recovery, no TWRP.

Did I miss something? Currently running the newest OTA 4.4 and I'm thinking knox just hates me...

HELP?

EDIT

Tried my luck with CF auto root, once again to no avail. However, this did for some reason allow me to properly flash TWRP using ODIN. Not sure how that works...when I boot into TWRP recovery (finally) now when I try to flash samsungnizer knox removal or supersu, it almost immediately fails.

I've been at this all evening and I'm not having any luck.

Ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Try Towelroot.

You updated via ota, so you have two files that reinstall stock recovery every time you reboot.

Deselect auto reboot. After flashing recovery, pull battery. Then boot recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 204duke:
I've managed to gain access to TWRP recovery consistently on every reboot, but it still won't let me flash knox remover or supersu.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Again. Try towelroot, unless you have an I747M with NF2 firmware.

Cf autoroot replaced one of the files I mentioned before. Install-recovery.sh. that's why twrp sticks now.

If you can tell what error you get when flashing, or better yet attach the recovery.log, it would help me or others to help you figure out a solution. Any and all details about the problem, the device, and what you're trying to flash are helpful too.

I'm not sure btw, but any Knox removal scripts could be outdated. Most were made for 4.3, and its possible there are some things different now. It might work too though, I'm just not completely certain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 204duke:
I went to the knox remover page and as per the advice there, downloaded a version 5.2 which works on 4.4 OTA apparently.

I tried towelroot, it says my phone is not supported. I've tried everything I can think of and spent all day reading and trying and searching, to no avail.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Details please.

Device model.

Current firmware.

Recovery version.

Error messages.

Recovery.log

Etc

Please don't take it as me being rude, I'm not trying to be. And I am trying to help, but you need to provide more information to work with. Just that it won't flash really tells me nothing. I can assume all sorts of things, but there's a very good chance it would only lead to a lot of wasted time and unnecessary work for both of us.

Please provide the requested info, but you might also want to try flashing enewman17's stock ROM. His thread is in the development section.
