Could You Do Step By Step Guide Please.Like Did You Root First, Flashed Kitkat,Flashed TWRP Or Else?

What Files Did You Use For Root And Recovery?

Thanks In Advanced
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Canadoc:
Only flashed twrp after the upgrade to KitKat. That is why I used titanium backup so I would have backups of my apps

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

Using files listed in at least 2 other threads I first used kingo to root though this is not necessary but I wanted a data backup since the kitkat flash will wipe out the data. Then after root did my backup with titanium.

Then used Odin 3.09 to flash the files rebooted. Then used Odin to root with cf auto root. Rebooted then flashed twrp via ODIN.

while trying to upgrade to 4.4 i have hard bricked my note 3, can anybody plz upload debrick image for n900w8?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
I have no access to N900W8 but here are the links needed for people that have W8 and want to create their debricking image (first is the general idea and how to create the debrick image if you have custom recovery, second is for those that do not have custom recovery):

sorry I'm newbie so don't know much about this method to create debrick image, my w8 is hard bricked when i was trying to flash 4.4
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dragoncius:
Make a new thread for that.

BTW, If I am on Mexican 4.4.2 (Telcel one), can I use CF-Root to root without tripping KNOX? Or do I have to flash the files located here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618633) with my own CSC?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] donvito62:
many thanks Canadoc :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Canadoc:
Glad I could help
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dragoncius:
CONFIRMED!

Flashing CF Root on a stock N900W8 4.4.2 Telcel Note 3 will NOT trip KNOX and everything works wonders. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dragoncius:
Has anyone tried if X Note 9 is Knox Friendly?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] haybill:
Hello [MENTION=4901283]xclub_101[/MENTION] ---excuse me--is this exercise ONLY suitable for N900W8--or can users of International SM N900 use CF-Root and hope to not trip KNOX indicator???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Daniels45:
I got twrp, xnote14 and a compulsion kernal installed on my phone and Knox in NOT tripped. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
As far as I know N900 and N9005 + CF-Root will always trip Knox - the exception was EXCLUSIVELY for N900W8 (and I think not even always for that one too). That one (N900W8) also lets you downgrade 4.4 -> 4.3.

However there MIGHT be a way to reset knox - for the moment on N900 only - see this:

I'm already on 4.4.2 through ota

I updated to 4.4.2 from stock no root 4.3 and am a little confused, can I root through Cf root without tripping knox. I've been reading that people have used cf-auto-root with out tripping it on this SM-N900W8 model. Does anyone have a screen shot or even better a YouTube video of it happening without the knox counter changing.

Can confirm this, just rooted using this method. Just have to make sure you get the right file.

check ChainFire's site here for the file you need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Have SM-N900W8 on 4.4kk. while rooting all seems to be ok but stuck in boot loop after rooting process said it was finished in ODIN... followed steps to the letter... security lock was off too. Just rebooting and rebooting...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jwds1978:
After OTA upgrade to KitKat, I used Part 2 of this guide to root and install TWRP. I didn't use any other parts from that guide, but did install this kernel via TWRP though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 1SouthernCanuck:
Worked like a champ, Dude! Thanx for the tip, I have thanked you on the post too. No KNOX flags either (KNOX 0x0), but the Binary and Sys status is custom now so the warranty is shot regardless... but hey, Im rooted! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trevourlance27:
I have tried flashing the following on my 4.4.2 Rogers Firmware (meaning I did not change to Telcel Firmware)

- Custom Recovery: TWRP 2.7.0.0

- Root: CF-Auto-Root (Latest)

and guess what ----- here are my results

- I AM FULLY ROOTED

- KNOX is Untripped but SYSTEM STATUS is Custom

- SEAndroid is Enforcing (still) and KNOX Container is working

- I CAN DOWNGRADE

- I am able to change any of the system settings (via root and sqlite)

- I am able to safely port some Galaxy S5 applications

NO NEED FOR TELCEL FIRMWARE

--- ANY 4.4.2 Kitkat SM-N900W8 has the KNOX Flaw :))
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fox204:
Will hyperdrive rom trip knox since it is a touch wiz rom that uses aroma installer

The root and recovery world great and no trip, can I use hyperdrive instead of xnote and still keep 0.0
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Wayne519:
Could you make a video going though the process to root and install a custom recovery the way you did in your post.

Thanks

Wayne
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trevourlance27:
I cannot do a video for now mate, coz of provincial exams here in WPG. But I will provide you the details.

Note: In rooting your Samsung GALAXY Note 3, make sure that REACTIVATION LOCK is UNCHECKED under the security options or else the flashing will interrupt. I also recommend having the original fimware as a backup if anything goes wrong. If you did not follow this direction, it will not be my fault if you run into a bootloop or malfunction

Confirmed: NO NEED FOR THE TELCEL FIRMWARE TO BE FLASHED. Go with the firmware in your device.

I am using my RWC firmware and KNOX wasn't tripped during the process.

What to do?

Get the following files from the links provided below.

FLASH FIRST the ChainFire Auto-Root I have provided. The SM-N900W8's root file will not work in Kitkat, so use the one I provided. After flashing, check your DOWNLOAD MODE and confirm if it is still 0x0 or 0x1. If all is still in success, flash now the TWRP.

Device will be considered FULLY ROOTED but limited by some functions due to the KNOX Secure Kernel.

A. I am using XPOSED Modules for theming my Note 3 into a GALAXY S5

B. My device is running under ROGERS Wireless because I bought the phone from ROGERS

C. Device has ROOT Access and is working with Titanium Backup / SQLITE Editor / XPOSED

Hey mate, do not use the SM-N900W8's CF AutoRoot on 4.4.2 Kitkat -- IT WILL NOT WORK. Use the file I provided. It did not trip my KNOX. Chainfire mentioned it in one of his posts, that for W8's use the 9005's latest CF. That is why I provided the CF on the links. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 1SouthernCanuck:
Thanx Dude, figured that out with help of a few other XDA kats help about a month ago. Used CF AR with 9005 md5 files. Worked like a champ, and got same results. No Knox flags, but binary and sys status says custom now. Ive read and been advised by a few others that that can be fixed... but havent bothered to fix it. However, I would like to know how to get the OTA updates that I'll surely mis now that root has stopped me from getting updates...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trevourlance27:
We can't get updates in CUSTOM. If you want, just reflash an official firmware when an update comes. It will restore everything back to Official. One sure thing is that we lose root. But we still don't know if in the next update, we can still bypass KNOX 2.0, which is really a challenge. But without tripping the KNOX counter, it is sure that A. WE ARE ROOTED and B. DESPITE BEING ROOTED, WE CAN USE THE KNOX CONTAINER :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 1SouthernCanuck:
Has there even been any OTA updates in the past month? If I have a Bell 900w8 how would I flash a stock recovery back on the SGN3? Sorry not real sure about that process yet so in the event that ai do that, and I just might, a quick reference to the files and process would be appreciated. .. but I understand that may be a hassle so no problem if you don't want to get into that. I do have the Sammy program (kies3) to do that already installed on my comp. If thats what I need ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trevourlance27:
Recently sammobile and samsung-updates do not release the stock recoveries. Maybe this is because it is embedded in the knox . . if you want stock recovery , then just flash the cf-autoroot -- it has a stock recovery built there

Hello.

I always found the camera somewhat blurry. Today the plastic protection over the lens fell out. Im going to put it back though, I tried to take some pictures without it, The blurryness almost disappeared. This little plastic protector is somewhat damaged with scratches and so on. But I look around on other pictures taken with this phone, they resemble what pictures I've taken before. Even my fiancee's Galaxy S3 with 8 MP camera takes alot better pictures than my Optimus G.

Is there anyways to get this little plastic thingy more sharp, so to speak?

I partitioned my extsdcard in CWM. I don't know what it does but i just did it cus i liked to play around. Does it increase the internal storage of the phone itself?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lorddart:
Ext is external so it probably wiped your external sdcard unless I'm mistaken
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
It splits up your external card into multiple partitions for compatibility reasons. It does not increase storage space for either.

Hi, according to the specs, S3 Mini has 1GM of RAM, but when I check it, it says it has 804 MB. I read (in wikipedia), that it has 1GB if there is no operator (I understand unbranded), and 804 MB with operator.

Is this true?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jjjasont:
This is a script that I found from the i9003 forum and modified a bit to suit i9100.

Personally I found that this script works better than the Root External 2 Internal SD because the remount happens while the phone is booting. Not after the phone has booted.

LIMITATION

Your storage will be reset if you mounted your phone as "Mass Storage"!

Do NOT mount your phone as Mass Storage if you use this script.

MTP and PTP mode works fine.

Best Practise

1. Partition your internal storage. I use 11Gb~12Gb Pit file.

2. Flash your custom ROM

3. Flash View attachment 2545298

Troubleshoot

If you need to trouble the script

1. install Root External 2 Internal SD

2. Find out the mounting point of your internal storage and SD card. They should look like

/dev/block/vold/179:9
/dev/block/vold/259:3

3. change the numbers in the script to match with your findings in 2.

I have tried this several times, even contacted orange, but am now getting conflicting information

The manual says mp3 files can be used as a ringtone

orange then advised me to move the files into the /rings folder

However, the device cannot recognise them

I've now been told by orange the device does not support mp3 files at all!

I then told them that I can play them in Windows Media Player and was told the device shouldn't be able...

Any ideas?

Tried that, no change...

I have a file called bigbrother.mp3 in windows/rings folder, but this is not being recognised

If I move any other type of file (.mid .wav) into this folder, then I can set those as ringtone

I can also setup any other ringtones from the start/settings/system/add ring tones

What next?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ottGalaen:
WAV ringtones...

Hi! I also had issues getting an MP3 to play as a ringtone... Not sure if it was due to the file size or the file type.

My work around was to use a tool to slice and dice the file to

1. Make the ringtone duration 20 seconds

2. Convert the file to WAV

3. Increase the gain so the ringtone is louder than original

There are tons of free applications to do this... I usually download todays' most popular from http://www.download.com ...

Enjoy!

Hi There,

Try renaming bigbrother.mp3 to a smaller name i.e big.mp3

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] m8internet:
No, no change

I was wondering of the file is too large, so uploaded a smaller one at 0.9MB, but this too was not recognised

The only conclusion I can come to is the orange SPV M2000 (QTEK 9090) does not support mp3 files as ring tones, only mid and wav

That still doesn't match the manual though (clearly states "use mp3 files as ring tones")
