I tried to flash CM11 without kernel and recovery via MOP (on a Galaxy S5), didn't work. Device went black during flashing of /system and wouldn't boot afterwards. I had to restore with stock rom and Odin. At least i kept Knox 0x0. So it seems those kernels are incompatible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thatrunks:
The procedure you described works perfectly! (XXUGNH1)

I rooted my phone with towelroot and then downloaded the Echoe Rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2495688). Choosed custom install and then stock kernel.

Knox is cool (0x0)!! :) Thank you! [MENTION=1607206]Mwyann[/MENTION]

Hey guys. Just wondering, is this still possible on a rooted 9005 running latest OTA (XXUGNI4)? I would like to keep Knox 0x0 you know xD This phone is barely a week old xD

When running MOP it shows me this:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] amk19:
No worries. Just install the required files for MOP.

Flashing correct firmware/ROM will not trip Knox. :)

Quick question

Can someone confirm that it is possible to root and install the AEL custom kernel + Xposed framework with this device:

Bootloader Version: N9005XXUGNG1

Baseband Version: N9005XXUGNG1

PDA Version: N9005XXUGNG1

CSC Version: N9005DBTGNG1

without tripping the KNOX counter?

After I have gained root without tripping KNOW, SuperSU asks me if I want to remove KNOX. What exactly are the implications of this? Will the KNOW counter continue to show up as 0x0? Has anyone tried this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rakesh_485:
Yes you can use xposed framework but custom kernel will trip your knox..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] formeriphoneuser:
So, if I understood the instructions on post 1, this means I can just flash the DEODEX Tweaked Stock Galaxy S5 BASE/Note 4 Style Modded Full ROM V11.0 ROM zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583199) via Mobile Odin Pro with the OTA / Update zip option [IMG="OTA Flash"]http://i.imgur.com/W6bKNb7.png[/IMG] and NOT install any kernel (installation of this ROM should leave the current stock kernel intact).

Then, I assume I have to and can root again with TowelRoot? That should leave my KNOX untouched. Or will I still have root from my current rooted stock ROM?

Currently I rooted with Towel and have stock kernel. I little confused by the instructions...:confused:

Hello guys,

I am planning on installing a custom 5.0 rom directly from 4.4.2 rooted.

Will I have to flash the stock bootloader after it ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Koysii:
Confused about this KNOX business...? I rooted my Note 3 N9005 and flashed Cyanogen 11 m12 few weeks back, then changed to AICP then tried few other ROMs... My baseband remained the same but everytime I was in recovery mode it did say KNOX (0x1). I'm not sure what that means tho.

Few days back I updated my recovery using ROM manager which completely prevented me from going into recovery so had to flash a recovery using ODIN. That didn't fix it so installed the Stock firmware from Sammobile, re-rooted using CF-auto root and put Masik ROM v6.0 using Philz recovery this time since CWM and TWRP just didn't load aroma installer on latest versions on 23/04/2015

But my recovery screen still says (0x1) what does this mean???? I've never initiated reactivation lock and on this TW ROM there's hardly any Samsung related bloatware... ? how I prefer it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
No, you can skip this part. The idea for this is to get updates like modem that custom ROM doesn't provide. Personally I installed X-Note ML2 over stock MK2 (see the screenshots ;)) and it works like a charm :)

Hi,

atm i am running MJ1 on my german SM-N9005 (rooted with MOP, KNOX 0x0).

The latest german FW available is MK2.

Should i update to the singapore ML2 and install X-note v7 (would this work?) or

should i go for the german MK2 and install Xnote V6 (which is MK2 based or) ?

Thanks for the answers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
You can do as I did: flash MK2 German and then X-Note ML2 (both with MOP, as in the tutorial). This works nicely :)

Anyone can helps? I am on X Note ROM via MODIN, what is the best way to install ASOP theme? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
As said in the first post, you can flash any zip update with MOP. Just follow the second flashing step, by selecting FINAL_X-Note_AOSP_Theme_ML2.zip in the OTA / update selector. That should do it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] remixtech:
I'am in France actually i know the LTE is a bit special. Is it a bad choice to install stock Kernel ML2 and firmware ML2 without CSC and MODEM waiting for a new ML2 French version ? Or it doesn't change anything, and i could have a syngapour modem with a french mobile ?

Thanks for your patience,

Rémi
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
I'm from France too and my LTE is working perfectly. Latest modem is MJ7 anyway and CSC doesn't matter as long as you have installed one for your country (and even if not that's not a big deal, it's just some localization support, as long as I know of).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lqrt:
Wanted to try this but i didnt had the guts to.! Thanks! :D

Going back to stock would be via MOP i guess.

If i read the OP correctly the only thing that woudl trip knox would be if recover or kernel is custom?

Thanks for the heads up OP!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kellicros:
No It won't, but a factory reset is recommended if you face problem after flashing. My phone work perfect from stock to X-Note without factory reset, maybe i'm lucky.

Actually that does not, hence he kept asking, I have tried it myself, the theme .zip will flash in a split second but you won't get anything. Still haven't figured a way to do it properly so any help/idea would be great.

sounds like a plan - but mop will need an update before (to inject a kitkat su)

This will be supported soon though:

"Upgrading between Android revisions

It is not uncommon that if the you're upgrading to a new firmware with a new Android version that you need to flash bootloaders, trustzone, etc. before the firmware will boot. Mobile ODIN does not flash those partitions, so you need desktop ODIN for that.

A feature has been added to boot into download mode after the Mobile ODIN flash. You can use this to flash the new firmware (with EverRoot enabled), follow by a boot to download mode to flash a modified package with only the bootloaders (and trustzone and such, but not system), followed by a reboot to recovery to apply the CSC, finally followed by the full Android boot.

That way you can upgrade Android versions and bootloaders while staying rooted. Providing the new Android version doesn't actually break the included root, of course."

I will be flashing via MOP. Would i trip knox if i was to unroot it via kingo?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
If you flash a kitkat firmware, you'll have to flash the new bootloader with desktop Odin (after flashing the firmware itself). By doing that, you'll have a secure bootloader, so you have to use EverRoot on MOP to keep root. Otherwise, if you happen to unroot your phone, accidentally or not (which can be done intentionally with no problem using SuperSU unroot) you will not be able to root it again without tripping Knox (unless someone finds a way to safely root with secure bootloaders or to turn Knox back to 0x0).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gianton:
Is my device capable of flashing a custom ROM/zip and keep KNOX at 0x0?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Your bootloader is MK2, so if you're already rooted and knox is 0x0 you'll be fine, just follow the instructions on first post. If you're not rooted, well for now there's no way to root without tripping knox as long as I'm aware of. And you can't install any custom ROM without root.

Are we not able to take full advantage of AROMA ROMs with this method? The ROM I installed (Wicked for the SM-900T) allows you to install a variety of camera and music apps and change the UI speed of the ROM through the AROMA installer, but none were installed/implemented once installation was complete. I flashed the ROM (apps and mods only) again, but no change.

I've gone and extracted the apps from the ROM's already, but I'd like some confirmation of the above.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Well, if you didn't flash with MOP and EverRoot, and if you have bootloader MJ6 or more, indeed you're screwed. It's Knox or Root... or you can wait till a safe root method is found or knox revert is possible.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dsm52:
Anyone upgraded to X-NOTE BUILD 8.0 (N9005-NA6) using this method?

Pre-requisites for the ROM are you'll need to have flashed Polish Kitkat (i.e. bootloader & recovery) before doing so.

So i believe those who've upgraded to kitkat already using MOP 4.00 (& flash kitkat bootloader using pc odin) to keep knox 0x0 and root should be fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
As long as you keep EverRoot with MOP you're fine. Although flashing CSC only should not touch system and thus not remove root, that's weird. Or those users thought they were updating CSC only but they flashed the whole thing instead...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Installed X-Note 8 right now over official KitKat Poland, same method as first post.

Everything works just fine, but my Knox... is now 0x1 ! :( I don't know what went wrong here, but I'm Knoxed now.

Apparently I installed Stock Kernel from X-Note and now at boot I have

"KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : kernel"

But in the properties in About, on Android, it says it's Enforcing. Trying to reinstall the real stock kernel... It'll not get my knox back to 0x0 but at least it would remove this nasty message...

EDIT: That was it:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dugryce:
Well, I've successfully rooted using Root De La Vega...but reading how tricky it is to actually install a custom ROM, has me a bit gunshy...think I'll enjoy stock root for a while, then attempt ROM install later...thanks for the great instructions!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dsm52:
Hey, sorry you had to find this out the hard way. I've read your posts on the x-note thread too.

Heck, keeping knox 0x0 is just a "challenge" for some, including me. Not sure how much longer I'll keep up the fight.

Thanks a lot for helping lots of us keep knox cool. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Well, that was a challenge for me too, which ends today as it seems. At least, the message saying that Knox's been tripped is displayed in yellow (Set Warranty Bit with the reason following, kernel or recovery), so I still can do my testings without worrying now ;) And I have the opportunity to make tar backup and restore in case I screw something up, which is a good trade-off compared to just having a binary value to zero which doesn't make a difference apart from some piece of functionnality I'll never ever use ;) So, after all, no big deal here. If Knox is finally reversible I'm not even sure I'd like to revert it (and have to live with stock again).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hero746:
Hey Mwyan,

I was an idiot and forgot to create a back up when my phone was freshly rooted. Your first post in this thread suggests that we can use MOP to return to stock. How do we do this? Do we load the stock firmware with the "Open file..." option, uncheck EverRoot, SuperSU, MobileOdin and wipe dalvik cache, and start flashing? Will going back to stock trip Knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
You can do this. MOP will not flash the new bootloader so you'll keep both the "saferoot" bootloader AND Knox (if you're flashing 4.3). If you uncheck EverRoot though, you'll lose root and if you want to root again you'll have to use RootDeLaVega or anything else.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] encho:
Can someone explain how to flash KitKat over 4.3 with MOP? My understanding is that in order to have KitKat you will need new bootloader as well, but MOP doesn't flash the bootloader? Or am I wrong?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] justmiike:
So I guess we can't flash the latest X-Note 8 as the stock kernel is modified. Any other methods to install X-Note 8 without tripping Knox or has 0x1 finally taken the throne?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Yes you totally can, read the first quote in OP. You can install X-note 8 without flashing the modified stock kernel, keeping your Knox safe. You just have to flash from a working 4.4.2 stock firmware obviously (to keep the real stock kernel in place).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dsm52:
X-Note 9.0 also works with this method. I was already on na6 kitkat 4.4.2 so chose not to flash any kernel via aroma installer just in case, but the stock untouched na7 kernel *should* hopefully be just that and shouldn't trip knox, but can't say for sure.

All working fine, still knox 0x0 for now :p
