Small answer No :) but don't worry there will be a ROM that support kitkat soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Star] ImBJ:
galaxy star pro is jelly bean device not kitkat !!
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
Why

why no ? the 2 mobile is the same but defferent in screen size ?!!!! :confused::confused::confused: and when will rom come ?!:confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Star] hama.mazin:
No there are many difference in hardware and you can see the differences in two phones specifications.

The samsung galaxy star pro has its android that made to function with its hardware so it can't function with galaxy star duos.

I don't know when will be the ROM released but i know that developers are working hard to make it so there will be ROMs but when.. No one know :).

Press thanks if i helped you...
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
ok , thanks very much :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] hama.mazin:
Welcome :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] ImBJ:
kitkat roms can be ported from other devices if galaxy star got stable cm11.. if devs can make it i'll port kitkat roms for sure !! :v

Fellow Noob here. Please bare with me.

Purchase a used HTC one. Previous owner has S Off and Custom Recovery (Team Recovery).

The OTA comes over on my phone but when I try to install I am taken to the Team Recovery prompt at start up.

How do I get my phone to a state to take OTA updates like 4.4.2 (Verizon)?

Help is much appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vref:
You'll have to go back to stock rom and stock recovery. There should be a thread out there to tell you how if you don't already know. Search this forum for "return to Stock recovery" and I'm sure you'll find it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrartyen:
Does this video an accurate description of what I need to do?

Youtube: How to Unroot HTC ONE and Relock Bootloader or back to STOCK (All Versions)

Sorry can't post links yet.

The exception being - using the correct RUU for verizon?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Ruu back to 2.10.605.1 - can be found in santods rom/radio/kernel thread at the bottom of the second post.

Take the ota

Fastboot flash recovery

Flash Superuser thru recovery.

No need to relock your bootloader to do an ruu, it is a myth.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrartyen:
Thank you cmlusco. Very greatful.

So 1) Download Ru 2.10.605.1

2) Go through the prompts

3) take OTA 4.4.2 (KitKat)

At this point, what does the Fastboot Flash Recovery, and Flash Superused thru recovery do?

Thank you very much!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Yes, and those roots the phone again. It flashes a custom recovery like twrp, so that u can flash superuser, roms, mods, and do backups. And the second flashes superuser, which well gives you superuser rights to modify files on the phone, use root apps, etc..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrartyen:
rilishe ramsey

Gotcha. I could just leave it after the OTA 4.2.2. - leaving the device unrooted (but with a unlocked bootloader & S off)?

my main objective is to really just go back to stock but still get OTA updates. i purchased this phone with the intention of just running stock features etc.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Yeah just do the ruu and you will be stock unlocked s-off JB. Then you can take the KK ota and all future ota's.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrartyen:
After downloading 2 different RUU's I can't find any Exe Executable files after unzipping.. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
You dont unzip them and there is no exe. You flash the zip as it is using fastboot. You need adb and fastboot + drivers installed on your pc. Place the zip in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt on your pc so that the path is the same as where the files are. Then reboot the phone to the bootloader. In the cmd prompt type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

The phone will go to a black screen, then type

fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip

It may fail the first time with a message about flushing, this is normal. Just run the second cmd again

fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrartyen:
cmlusco - Thank you very much.

Couldn't have done it without your patience and help.

I'm back to stock - OTA 4.4.2

Can't thank you enough.

is knox triggered?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Yes, It counts when you flash the CWM via Odin PC

but without a custom recovery you can't use super SU as it keeps on force closing due to knox

Anyway once you root your phone your warranty is void right ? :) so why worry about knox counters
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izz.amizan:
I thought your steps here could avoid the knox trip...

if that so, your step could be shorten to easier method...

1st... flash cf auto root by odin

2nd... update supersu apk

3rd... download root browser from playstore, and by using root browser you can change all knox app apk to apk.bak

easier n simpler...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
I know, i tried so many quick methods to root mine this INU 4.3 rom and every time it failed, most of the time my root was gone after rebooting the phone , so i mixed up the info i got from many quick root methods and did it all to make a permanent root. :)

just posted this here to help anyone who faced the same problem like me :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
And even if you rename all the KNOX related apk files there are some files that doesn't directly say they are knox but they run in the system and it used to cause my Super SU to crash and that's why i have mentioned an extra step to go to Dr.Katen's toolkit and select to remove all knox related stuff, it really cleans the whole system from knox 200% :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izz.amizan:
no no no... what I mean here, u r using cf auto root... so no need to flash multitools just to get rid the knox apk... I dont see rooting via cf auto root will give any prob... only that, the knox will trip...

2 steps saved here.... no need to flash custom recovery (only flash recovery if decide to flash custom rom) and no need to flash multitools...

no offence, im just giving an option here... a simpler option...

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

you know what... after u update superSU, u will be prompted about the knox thing and it's just by clicking "yes" button all knox related stuff will be cleaned... ???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
hahah thanks for that info, case the 1st time i tried Super SU after the update it didn't promote me to to get rid of knox so i didn't know abot that

anyway it's good to know. did you flash a custom rom ?

i wanted to flash a custom rom but the stock 4.3 is very battery friendly and very good in terms of ram management. if you know any rom except ditto v3.2 be sure to share :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izz.amizan:
im on pheonix 16.7 now... before was on jellykatv2 and jellykatv3... also tried z ized 240dpi... it's hard for me to recommend any rom though cos they are all good... in terms of battery, yes I must admit the stock one is damn good battery save... but custom rom have extra note3 features... arrrghhhhhh im so confused which and which... battery or note3 features...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Yeah.. battery in stock rom is pretty sweet I get more thsn 17 hours daily

But looking for a custom rom to use with less bloat wear

I've tried ditto 3.2 but it used too much ram

I need a light rom :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeatsie:
I got this to work finally using your instructions at the top of this thread - the 'easy' way didn't work of just applying the root zip (CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip) to my stock 4.3 GT-N7100 Note 2 - I kept getting the FC's on superSU and the Knox security reports.

I then followed your steps and got a lot further, Knox seemed to be removed fine. I still couldn't get the SuperSU app to update correctly, so i booted the Note 2 into the phils recovery file manager and used it to replace the existing superuser.apk file located in /system/apps/ with the one mentioned & linked to in the comments in this thread - then restarted.

This allowed me to go to the play store, and perform an 'update' on the app (prior the only option the Play store was giving me on the SuperSU app was 'open', not update) , which then worked - great :)

Now rooted, no knox, new bootloader and seems faster too! 1 day in and all is well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Glad to hear that :)

Great that u wrote the way you did it.

I have never tried 4.9 u mentioned
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
I haven't tried any custom roms on this 4.3 rom yet but Phoenix rom comes highly recomanded. DITTO rom is also good but it comes with too much bloat which consumes about 1.1 gb ram just for the system.

Try Pheonix rom. If u like
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Wait.. did yountey flashing the philz tar.md5 using the stock recovery? If YES.. no u can't flash it in recovery

Open pc odin and click pda thennselect your philzxxxxx.md5 file

Put your phone into download mode

Turn off the phone. Then press power+volume down+menu at once

Then connect phone to pc and after odin recognize ur phone click start in odin and u shoukd have a running philz custom recovery

U need a small change in this steps....

Some stock roms didnt allow custom recoveries (may be the hell knox is behind this) .. its just starts its stock recovery (dont know where it comes from) instead of custom recoveries....

1st flash cf - autoroot... after rooting process over (after flashing phone restarts and starts rooting process after completion phone restarts again..)

2nd then flash philz touch.... now try it .... phone will load ur custom recovery.. then use Multi tool for deknox....

( remember dont root ur phone with multitool.. u already rooted it with cf autoroot)

Looks curious, I have been trying this whole tragic dramas for last whole night and gave up. Now only I see this thread and there is a ray of hope left for me.

I did cf autoroot but supersu is crashing and knox gives error/warning

Can I just get this over with multitool deknox option

That would get rid of knox rite?

Things should work well after a reboot I presume..

Am I correct

What I try to skip here is the rename thing. This because I just dont know where or how to find those 'all knox apks' to rename them
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Glad to be of help :) knox ruined all the easy ways but we still have hope for note 2 haha
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Yes just follow the instructions I have given and everything should be fine

You can't avoide renaming the knox files for this to work properly as otherwise KNOX files interfere the root apps and process. Just flash the recovery as I have explained and then flash the multi tool and the in the 1st page in muti tool after u agree to use it you can see the file manager .. just open click it and follow the Instructions I have given. It should work :) it's not hard.

questions for MK9

Hello Devinda, for the excellent guide!

But your guide will also work with MK9?

Because I heard that the botloader of MK9 creates problems more of MK4 and what you could do on the mk4 you can't do longer in MK9? Or I'm wrong?

Mine is this:

AP: N7100XXUEMK9

CP: N7100XXUEMJ9

CSC: N7100ITVEMK2

N7100 - Italy - No brand

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
Well the links I've given for cf-autoroot, philiz recovery, multi tool are for all 4.3 gt-n7100 roms none of the developers of those tools have mentioned that they inly work on mk4 or mj9 or Na1 or anything like that. So I I suggest you just try and find out

Follow the steps and you should be able to gain root access

Just keep your stock 4.3 firmware ready incase things go bad so you can fladh it via odin. But I don't think that it's gonna come to that.

I can't tell you that it would 100% work for you cause I've only tried this on my mk4 baseed rom.

But it's worth a try I guess :)

And you're welcome

My opinion is that this should work for you but there's no guarantee until u try and confirm

And if you try this and this works.. be sure to let me me know so I can add it to the main page confirming this workd for mk4 as well as mj9

And you're welcome

to remove knox u can also try this code using the Terminal Emulator app from the playstore

Type the following code in the command line

su

pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
But would this disable the KNOX from the rom permanently ? i mean .. let's say you did this and was able to run super user and flash custom recovery Via ODIN.. but would it let you flash a custom rom using your custom recovery ?

i tried flashing a custom recovery without completely removing KNOW using Dr.Katen's Multitool and got my phone soft bricked and stuck on Samsung LOGO ..

There sure are so many easy ways we can try to root and remove knox (or actually think we removed knox) and run a custom recovery .. but how safe is it ?

what i have explained is a long process i know .. but for someone who's rooting and disabling knox and trying custom roms for the 1st time this would be the best way as this is very safe .. This is what i have done and i've flashed

Xperia Z'sed rom

Pheonix v16

and curently running super bean rom and i've done many nandroid backups and restores and have never been locked by KNOX .. So i suggest this is good for beginners to get their phoes rooted without worring of loosing the root or getting softbricked due to KNOX :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:
Hey your method is good no doubt.

And yes, I had helped an xda member to install philz recovery on his phone through odin.

Next take a nandroid backup.

Next wipe your complete rom and flash the new rom zip through philz. And he could do it successfully.

So I mean to say you can flash custom rom directly without removing knox using toolkit.

But your method is great who wants stock rom+root..

And yes root is not needed to instal custom recovery and custom rom :)

By the way, how did you get a soft brick? Which recovery did you flash through odin?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
philz 5.15 .. anyway it' all good :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:

By the way can you tell me if I can still do OTA updates if knox flag is tripped?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
I can't check cause i can't do OTA updates anyway as i'm using a Custom recovery

But as far as i know you should be able to do OTA updates as far as you're using the stock recovery

PS- It's better to update the phone via ODIN, OTA updates aren't very safe cause incase u loose wifi or gsm signal while the update is downloading.. it could create small data gaps in the update which could ultimately create a bad flash and you'll be stuck on soft brick or worse.

so it's always recommended to update phone via ODIN PC
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:
I am very afraid to use odin again after a bad experience with knox bootloader.

I was on MJ5 leak rom (unrooted) and then I tried to flash official india rom MK4 through odin . This flash failed at sboot.bin and the phone wouldn't boot to download or recovery.

Firmware update encountered issue. Retry with kies.

This was the message the phone was displaying.

Hence I find pc odin risky with knox bootloader.

Do you have any idea if OTA/kies would work if Knox would be 1?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devinda:
The same thing happened to me when i first flashed stock mk4 4.3 rom using ODIN on windows 8.1.. Odin failed and my phone was also stuck like yours and that is the Force Download mode in note 2, where there is no recovery or download mode but when u connect it like that to odin it detects the phone and can flash stock rom. i flashed the same 4.3 rom using windows 7 and no problem after. I'm not exactly sure but as far as i know.. just like i said earlier.. you should be able to do OTA updates if you don't have a custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:

To get back official status in ur rooted device..

Install busy box>Install xposed framework> Install wanaam xposed > Activate module in frame work >go to waanam xposed> security hacks> check fake system status..

It works like a charm 4 me.. i can download OTA
