Poor timing has gotten the best of me. I just had my phone replaced and the new one came with the update already. Is there a way to get root without tripping the KNOX counter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
SMH and this is exactly what i told the guy who was ranting about KNOX and how powerful and expensive it is, and telling people to avoid it, but go in the 4.3 discussion thread and go a few days back i said even if you avoid knox and break your phone, your replacement is gonna come with it on there so why not deal with knox now, And guess what i was right again, but lucky we fixed the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Think I am going to go back stock and let the update eat. I prefer getting all the update pieces like the nvram tweaks etc. I will just deal with the Knox thing. Anything weird about loading twrp or cwm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajun9924:
Thats what i did just took the update and rooted and flashed twrp tar. in odin with no problem ....warranty void but if i need then i will go back. Everything went as usual. i also removed knox files
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
I read that people had issues with twrp and had to use cwm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Can you please tell the step to root the MK4? This is how I understand:

First, install the update MK4. Then, install the Google Kingo Root app and follow the OP instruction from there!

Am I correct?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrn:
You have to be running stock unrooted MC2 then install the MK4 update, then just follow the instructions on the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
R u using the MK4? is it any better than the MC2?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrn:
Yes I'm and it feels slightly smoother with a few visual changes, the real changes are mainly stuff that you don't see. performance wise
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tungsten c:
Hey guys two question:

1) where do I get Kingo root

2) I am stocked rooted MC2

I must remove root prior to update correct?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I dont have to remove root. If you update the official mk4, you will lose root after the update. If you just want stock root mk4, you can get that too. Here is the easiest way for me:

http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-sprint-sph.html?m=1

You can then install TB to freeze the KNOX. Here is how:

http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-sprint-sph.html?m=1

But you will not have wifi tether. I like the mk4 but can't lose the wifi tether. So i flashed back mc2 using back to stock unroot mc2 by Billard412 in this thread:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tungsten c:
Thank you, hopefully they will fix(find a way around it) the WIFI Tether. I believe that is also the problem on the S4. How convenient of then to remove WIFI Tether when upgrading.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
The wifi tether I mentioned is the one from the developer, not the official one from the carrier. that one always works but you have to pay more for the service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tungsten c:
Sorry , That's what I meant. I believe the S4 has the same issue once you root and remove knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
I don't think they "removed " it...but rather 4.3 has different configuration parameters that the VERY outdated version of Wifi Tether don't support (yet?). It'd just require enough knowledge about the new versions of Android that have recently dropped (4.2-4.3). Like many other things it's just a waiting game; unless you go ahead and use lorjay's stock 4.3 ROM with the native wifi tether hack.

Hello all.I am I the same boat; phone shipped with the update. I've read through this thread many times and I would just like to know if the method pointed out in the op will gain me root again? Any help/replies appreciated.

Tried to root using Odin

Has anyone had success gaining root with Kingo? I tried using the traditional Odin method but no dice.....I tried the Kingo method but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Broke my old rooted phone with custom rom and had to get a replacement....now seems I'm stuck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uapyro:
I was able to successfully use it about a week ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I think it's just easier to manually flash twrp via Odin. Then flash a rooted ROM.

Does it also mean that I won't be able to get OTA updates from then on (even if I restore my phone to factory default)?

Not working for me at all. Running KNOX MK4 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] prospect500:
I'm having the same issue as well. KNOX is blocking EVERYTHING that is trying to access root. I flashed with odin 3.09 and chainfire's CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900 file

I want to try the Kingo option but don't want to risk bricking the phone as I didn't see support for our SPH-L900 models.

I only saw support the N7100.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] prospect500:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiltmfc:
So, I just ordered a Note 2 SPH-L900 (sprint) from EBAY) and should be getting thursday. Is this the best method of rooting the phone? Im looking to get teathering and perhaps a rom (kitkat w/ native teathering)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
That's a little drawn out there. Much easier to just Odin recovery, boot to recovery, flash super Su, flash the deknoxifier script, reboot, and that's it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiltmfc:
Links to downloads ? deknoxifier , super Su ( I assume you mean the one in google play)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] prospect500:
Thanks for the info, but initially I couldn't find a thread dedicated to this issue. Especially, from some of the high count threads.....

Every one had a different method and there were mixed reviews on if it worked or not...

Thanks again though.... I'l keep this in mind for future reference.

Not able to delete Knox

I have root and I am unable to delete knox. Anyone run into this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wiijordends:
yes.

It's simple,

Use your favourite bloatware killer/freezer, grand it superusers rights and delete all KNOX related apps and apps with the same icon + an app with a grey/white shield icon called something like ELM.

I use an app called Nobload but I'm sure other bloatware killer/freezer apps work as well!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalinzki:
Can someone give me the link. I flashed custom recovery but then I couldn't get into recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
If you don't get into recovery first shot then the recovery is written over at boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalinzki:
Thanks I just try philz touch now I'm running vectus gn2 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wiijordends:
Here you are!

Just select Galaxy Note II GT N7100, download and of you go!

Even if your Note II is another variant than N7100, it still works.

http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/devices.htm

Here's the link to download Nobloat:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvkdevelopment.nobloatfree&hl=nl

And to fix yout recovery mode:

- Just flash the official rom from sammobile via ODIN (pc)

- Choose the official rom in the PDA button and flash!

- Repeat the Kingo root procces to get your superuser rights back!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] starsky23:
Anyone have any idea how to disassemble this tablet? The power button on mine has become a bit 'sticky'.

I imported this tablet so my local Samsung won't cover it under warranty :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
You want to disassemble it it for a sticky Power button? Does the sticky power button stop you from using the tablet properly ie. Does it swicth off the display on its own...If not I would honestly just leave it alone. Opening it up can cause loads of other problems.

If you read the Warrenty i think it does say that Samsung May attempt to fix the problem even if the tablet is from another part of the world. Worth giving them a call if you havent done so already.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] starsky23:
It does jam and sometimes reboots the tablet.

The local Samsung service centre told me that they'll need to replace the entire chrome bezel (what a load of nonsense). They'll give me a quote by tomorrow but I honestly doubt I'll pay whatever that is!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkeligos:
I've been in the market for a new phone (AT&T) and have been researching the Galaxy S4 and the LG G2. I'm coming from an S2, and previously a Galaxy S, so I'm no stranger to Samsung, but the G2's features really caught my eye this time around. After taking time to look over multiple forums around the net, I'm starting to worry that the G2 (or LG's development team) is just going to cause me more problems than good.

Everything that is important for me seems to be giving users troubles. In-car bluetooth connectivity, loudspeaker and AUX volume, touchscreen accuracy, and camera quality being a few. My S2 had unbearable problems with its touchscreen not unlike those I've recently seen with the G2, and seeing it reoccur alongside other problems makes me lean away from this phone.

What I'm really needing help with is this: At this current point in time, is this phone worth buying? If I buy this phone, are the problems that I see people having going to go away in future updates or are they permanent to the phone? Do you foresee a large developer community building like the Galaxy phones have?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbedard:
Yes it is its a beast of a phone and probly the best you'll fine this year
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
I can't speak to the development community question, but you could compare the two xda forums and get an idea. The problems people are having are not universal. Some people's phones are either not compatible with whatever accessory the are having issues with or are simply defective. Doesn't matter if it is Samsung, LG, HTC, or whatever. I would say that the vast majority of people who have this phone, like the vast majority of people who have the GS4, are not having any significant problems. In any case, don't you have a couple of weeks to test drive the phone before you lose the option to take it back? Go to the ATT store, hold your two favorite phones, put them through your normal paces and see which one you like best. Then go out and find the best deal on it, making sure you can trade it back in if it is not a "Fit" for you in the real world.

For me, the only issue I have is the occasional snap/crackle/pop sounds while on a voice call. VZW says a patch is coming out for it, but honestly I like everything else about the phone so much that it is only a minor irritant for me. If it starts to bug me more, I'll ask for a replacement G2.

That's my $.02 and as always, YMMV. Good luck!

I absolutely love the phone, especially considering the off-contract price. I liked my old LG Motion, but this blows it away.

I've been refreshing this thread for days hoping that we'd have root, and maybe start to see some custom ROMs, etc.

I will continue to do so. :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] pennhaven:
Yep. So far it looks like it was great purchase. Virtually the same form factor and screen res as my old Glacier, which suited me perfectly - don't want to carry anything larger, but with faster processor, more memory & LTE (while still retaining Wi-Fi calling), with none of the Glacier's hardware glitches. I can even still use the Glacier belt clips that I modded for car mounts!

Anyway. Sorry I'm babbling off topic. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] shabbypenguin:
So much misinformation being spread around, a locked bootloader only blocks the install of custom images, not root. should you guys have a locked bootloader youll be the first locked samsung device on tmobile, the only way youll know is when someone flashes a custom kernel.

source code helps you with nothing as i said :/, odin images come from either kies or are leaked i would suggest reaching out to samfirmware.com instead as samsung will ignore you. motochopper would never work on this as it has an exynos cpu and motochopper is for qualcomm. so exploits more like exynos abuse or framaroot are ones you should look at but i doubt any of them will work.

flashing modded images via odin will work, however youve no way to make them without teh stock files, you cant dump them without using dd (which needs root). its a rather vicious cycle, but once you get root and get cwm you are set for life :/
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] tazmaniondvl:

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] shabbypenguin:
note that i didnt say whether not you guys did have one, but secure boot may be referring to samsungs custom binary tracking, it was on the s3 and s4 even devices with unlocked bootloaders. now while i would normally pitch no way would tmobile lock down their samsung device it came to light recently that another tmobile phone had been locked at tmobiles request, so there really wont be a way to know until you can flash modified software.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] awd_fan:
[MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION] If we built a ROM from the source code, wouldn't it be flashable from Odin? Or use it to build a CWM recovery? I'd also like to know if there's a way around the "Signature verification failed" in recovery without a custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] shabbypenguin:
the ode they provide for the platform bits isnt enough to even get booting, its just the gpl'd parts they need to release. the kernel source could be used to help build recovery, but without the stock image you wont have a clue on how to pack recovery.img so that it boots properly. the only way you are modifying the stock recovery is by pulling it off the phone and unpacking it and editing it, which at that point you might as well just make cwm. as i said the source is fairly useless to you guys, sure it could help with cwm, but youd have to have someone who is massively brave/rich/stupid be willing to risk making their device non-booting guessing the kernel parameters (which can be any combination of numbers that are more than a few hundred thousand combinations.)

as it stands your best shot is someone compiling a working zimage, finding the cmdline, guessing on the base/page/ramdisk addresses and using another devices recovery binary. hoping that it boots far enough to get rooted adb shell to root the device.
