Worked for Note 2 LTE N7105

knox 0x0

Rom UK EE 4.3 (flashed via ODIN)

N7105XXUEMK9_N7105EVREMK1_N7105BVUEMK1_HOME.tar

Thank you guys for that!

I was at 4.1.2 official till now, because I didn't know that you can root an official 4.3 rom without tripping knox.

Does anyone know if it gonna work for kit kat 4.4.X?
[Galaxy Note II General] drckml:
nice
[Galaxy Note II General] shane1diamond:
Fresh out of the box replacement. Rooted no knox trip. Thank you soo very much for this. Works perfectly on T mobile note 2 bone stock, 4.3. Just used wanam exposed to get system status to show official again. All is good!
[Galaxy Note II General] corelx:
Is it even possible to downgrade the MK9 to MJ5?! I don't care anymore with tripping knox, just want to have a rootable device :)

Unfortunately i'm one of the very few, who losing the root after 1 or 2 reboots. Also the newest version from the saferoot thread not working at all, just the one from this thread. Already tried everything, like "pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid", freezing them with Titanium Backup Pro (bought only for this) and tried to do it manual with a super clean, just-stock-flashed 4.3 without any luck. Now it seems as i leave the getroot and the rest of the stuffs in the data/local/tmp, then i can just rerun at anytime...

...but in case somebody knows a solution, don't hesitate to let me know :D :angel: :D

So we conclude that...

. Root successfully

. Knox = 0

. Status = Custom

. Download Count = 1

Knox = 1... if used Trianglaway

So bottom line = better wait for more perfect method. ...
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
wrong!!! conclude that:

root successfully

custom binary download: no

current binary: samsung official

system status: custom

knox warranty void: 0
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
So how to make the System Status Official for OTA updates....
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
try whith this:

> install xposed installer

> install wanam exposed

> activate wanam exposed from xposed installer

> go into wanam exposed - security hacks - system - fake system status. (works for me)

or try this (have not tried)

also you can get system status: official by flashing stock rom with odin
[Galaxy Note II General] andrei16ro:
So how I can set custom binary download to no, without tripping the KNOX?

One user tried triangleaway after the phone was rooted with no KNOX trip but when he uesed triangle away it tripped the knox. Please see here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49455396&postcount=2
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
After reading the original thread.... I decided to try and now I can affirm the OP conclusion that....

> root successfully

> custom binary download: no

> current binary: samsung official

> system status: custom

> knox warranty void: 0

But one piece of advice for those who hasn't tried yet i.e. BE PATIENT because there were times when I started to think that my device got stucked and was thinking of restarting ... then suddenly prompt appear.... All in all its a process of 10-20 minutes....
[Galaxy Note II General] rchi84:
thanks for the detailed instructions. Will try this out and see if works for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] andrei16ro:
How about custom binary download, if it is yes (count 1) it will reset it to no?
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
As I mentioned earlier...

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : No

CURRENT BINARY : Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS : Custom

KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0

Infact I didn't do anything to make DOWNLOAD "No" only thing changed is System Status which as per OP can be changed to OFFICIAL by flashing Stock ROM.

Though OP already mentioned and I also read in the original thread.... "DON'T USE TRIANGLEAWAY" that will trip the KNOX and also increases the Download counter...

OR your custom binary download already increases ?

Dear Cosmyndemeter

My old efs backup tools doesn't work with mk9; probably because of the new kernel. ..

Is there a way to unroot your phone after applying this?
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
Try unroot from supersu or flash a stock rom... but not tried by me yet....
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
to unroot 1st uninstall busybox than unroot from super su or just flash stock rom (working, tested by me)
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
And if u r unrooting just to make the status OFFICIAL than u have to flash a stock rom
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
if you just unroot it not make the status OFFICIAL, you must flash stock rom for this
[Galaxy Note II General] ddfault:
Stop asking for the impossible. Having root and wanting OTA updates will cause you nothing but trouble. Once you've decided to root your phone its always best to get the stock through alternative means. New OTA updates come with new bootloaders which could potentially lock out your device. I'm running 4.3 with the MJ5 bootloader because it was recommended over the 4.3 bootloader.

Use the XDA community for support when a new ROM update is released.

If you want OTA, official, no warranty void, and KNOX to work... DON'T ROOT YOUR PHONE

Its that simple.

Ddfault
[Galaxy Note II General] note2nooby:
Hmm i guess this is for me. Well before you go to a trip you consider all options. Simple enough. :p
[Galaxy Note II General] ddfault:
fact of the matter

I wish the manufacturers would realize the utilitarian use of root by the end user and stop making our lives difficult, but at present we are stuck between choosing root and letting the manufacturer control the OS.

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is just the world we live in.

will installing recovery trigger knox?
[Galaxy Note II General] max621:

Without Recovery , Rooting Is Not So Fun ....
[Galaxy Note II General] FoxzMan:
it worked for me : D

custom binary download: no

current binary: samsung official

knox warranty void: 0

Noob-question: What for do I need to make the system status from custom to official? Is it for OTA software upgrades??
[Galaxy Note II General] domnic79:
If its under warranty, den its bettr 2 change d status to official for warranty purpose. Some service center says warranty void if the system status is custom. Its better to b on a safe side.

Hi all

After 4 days of rooting the device... the phone suddenly become lagy... it takes a second or two to awake from sleep. ..

All I did ... just freeze few apps thru titanium and removed few...

Any idea ?

Should I unfreeze all the apps or reset

OR

Reinstall the rom again ?

[Galaxy Note II General] max621:
Its seems to me that either you was impatient and disconnected ur device prematurely OR you didn't disabled KNOX from your device....

So, I think either you repeat the process with 20 minutes patience and also set the mobile display on setting for 10 minutes. Or

Reset ur device first then repeat the process...

So will CF auto root work with ML4? (please confirm)
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
yes, but will trigger knox.

All right, but will that bring up any problem in the long run? (Warranty period over) And by any chance, have you gotten to know of any way that can reset KNOX ?
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
warranty is void if knox flag become 1,

Re-rooting after this method

Noob here..

I rooted my phone with this method and everything was fine. I had SuperSu and it disabled Knox. But I decided to unroot my phone because I now want to flash Cyanogenmod. I followed the instructions from the op, unrooted via SuperSu...although I didn't uninstall Busybox, Winam, etc because I never downloaded them.

So now I'm trying to use another method to root. I tried Odin to install philz but it's always failing. I tried Odin 3.07 and 3.03. I don't any other way to root my phone. All drivers and Kies are installed on my PC. Any help please?

When I go into download mode it states...

Odin Mode

Product name: sch-1605

Custom binary download: no

Current binary: Samsung Official

System status: Custom

Know warranty void: 0

AP swrev: a2

Some background info:

I'm in the US. I downloaded 4.3 OTA from Verizon. I never downloaded any apps, kernels, roms, mods, etc. after rooting. Everything is stock.

Many thanks for everything.
[Galaxy Note II General] godrick15:
Awesome, easy method. I just need help/suggestions backing up my phone.

My original backup option was using T.backup for apps and data. If anything else went wrong, I would factory reset in recovery mode.

But after further research, I'm interested in more safer/easier options.

How do I make an efs backup? Any tutorials you can link me?

I'm researching nandroid atm. Which method would you recommend for a noob?
[Galaxy Note II General] yehudabe:
will this work on my phone?

will this root method work on my note 2? build number: xxuemka
[Galaxy Note II General] zygzoo:
in first post you find a tool nemed "efs_backup_restore_windows_scripts.7z".

download, unzip and do an efs backup.

connect phone to pc with USB Debugging Mode enabled and run efs-backup.cmd

!!! you must be rooted !!!

just try and report. follow the instructions and nothing wrong can happen, just the script will report if you are rooted or device not supported

So now I've tripped Knox, if they decide to release an official Kit Kat firmware for Note 2, I will be unable to upgrade?

I thought I'd read EVERYTHING I needed surrounding the Knox issue, I'd even managed to root and flash without tripping Knox...didn't know Mobile Odin would've tripped it though.

Unroot is simple...in supersu is an option for that...after this,

is not mandatory, you can enter in recovery mode and select factory reset to delete everything

getting around XXUENA1 ?

hi all,

I updated OTA and am now on 4.3 N7100ZSUENA1 build.

due to the locked boot loader I can't flash recoveries or anything and so far failed rooting.

I have nothing on this device that I need (it's a secondary one) and I'd really like to try out some custom ROMs.

is there any way to get a different build (one where your root approach works - suggestions on which one would be great) flashed on my note 2 so that i can later root and install recovery and roms?

with the locked stock bootloader i guess i can't simply flash on a different one with odin?

thanks so much guys and sorry of these are dumb questions - i don't have much experience with the 4.3 knox/locked bl stuff...

And more importantly, will I be able to downgrade back o 4.1.2 once I root it without tripping KNOX?
[Galaxy Note II General] Manneman32:
I´m curious...

My info:

Modelnumber: GT-N7105

Baseband: N7105XXUEMJ9

Kompilation number: JSS15J.N7105XXUEMK5

I have USB-debugging turned on. I have installed the drivers. I start the *bat-file both normally and with admin rights but the results are the same. It tells me to connect the phone and hit any key and the nothing... nothing happens. The cursor just blinks... If my device isn´t compatible I got the impression that the script would tell me, as read in the thread.

Any ideas?

Nevermind... I got it to work! Now rooted! Sweet!
