[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvirus11:
I tried the 3.0 and several 2.0 cables and all the same result on Kingo.

Takes about a good 2-3 minutes to connect to the phone regardless if it's my HP laptop, my gaming laptop or my desktop all with Win7..

Then it goes through the rigamarou of talking to the device, fetching script or files, something about adding files then failed not supported.

Yes you are indeed NOT alone my friend, and I gave up on Vroot as I soft bricked several times.

I am starting to think the MJE preinstalled firmware has made us not able to root so far..

Sadly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djflipnautikz:
yea but I downloaded the MJE firmware from beanstown 106. And was able to flash it. So it's technically not the pre installed MJE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvirus11:
I tried that too.

I still think something was done to either the firmware, kingo or both to render it not able to root until a "fix" or new exploit has been discovered and confirmed safe.

I personally dont care about the knox counter, I bought the phone outright so if I screw it up it's on me, but I'd really love to get off of 4.3 and get this dog awful bloatware off my phone.

I remain,

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djflipnautikz:
I'm on the same boat got insurance. Knox counter not important. Just need to get rid of the bloateware and stuff.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvirus11:
At least we are in the same boat.

I have to think there was something done with Kingo on the move from 1.1.8 to 1.2.0 to make it not usable at this present time.

I also just read Vroot adds their software to the phone...so I won't use that again.

Not that the factory ROM isn't sweet...I just loathe all the bloat on the phone.

Might just wait until the 4.4 KK is released for the phone then root.

I had same issue just got phone mje so I had downloaded kingo tried it over and over again.Would not work then I remembered I had downloaded and older version and tried it first try I have root.Kingo_Android_Root_116 worked for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djflipnautikz:
Could you upload that version. I am having trouble finding it. Everything i download is version 1.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Go to their Facebook page Kingoapp, it's there. If Kingo gives you problems use Vroot instead. Here is a good thread for all these questions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2566025

Thanks alot pspbyer, wouldnt havnt done it without you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvirus11:
Vroot trips my virus protection and it immediately quarantines the english Vroot DL. I had it on earlier today and uninstalled...then went to try Vroot again and my VP flipped out. Definitely a no go for sure.

On their FB page the DL for Kingo is still 1.20

No worries, thanks tho

I will patiently wait...

I'm not sure what the problem is but I just unrooted and re rooted with the newest Kingo and it worked fine. It went back to fetching script like three times but it worked. Either way you have root. Good deal.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphamale:
Do you have a link for those drivers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSavvy2:
Firmware is the same. Its just older version of kingo vs new version. I've checked VZW firmware and can confirm they're both identical. Plus you can't patch firmware without changing build number otherwise software checks wouldn't know what version you're on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stryver:
ive searched everywhere, how do i get those drivers?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
There are drivers right on the phone at /system/etc/autorun.iso (see file Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver.exe)

Normally, these will show up as soon as you attach the Note 3 to a Windows PC, but if that doesn't happen, you can always copy that ISO file off of the phone and burn it onto a CD.

(Or any other of a number of ways to get files off of an ISO image).

On the MJ7 release, here's there sizes and dates.

4 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 6 02:10 ..
2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 27 2013 .
2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 27 2013 ssuddrv.kext
2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 27 2013 VZW Software Upgrade Assistant.app
1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 95 Aug 27 2013 ModelName.txt
8366 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8566096 Jun 4 2013 Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver.exe
1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 74 May 5 2013 Autorun.inf
765 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 782704 May 5 2013 VZW_Software_upgrade_assistant.exe

You might find it easiest to use a file manager to copy autorun.iso from /system/etc to your SD card, and then when you plug into your PC, you can readily transfer it from there.

mje root issue

I am in the same boat, I have tried all methods to root, even what you all have found today the kingo file does not respond, I am going back stock and wait...Fustrated...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djflipnautikz:
What have you done exactly neto?

i would start all over.

and DOUBLE CHECK the Kingo Version you install. I noticed that when i downloaded a "SUPPOSED" older version, since it was originally linked to the main website, it would always download the LATEST version.

When you click on Kingo Root to install you will notice it says the version it is installing. If it says 1.2, then from my experience it doesn't work with our stock MJE phones.

In the link above i have shared, you have all the files to obtain root ;) even the older version.

also make sure you UNINSTALL the old SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS and KIES. ANYTHING SAMSUNG RELATED!

Trust me, i was at this for HOURS on end. Giving up is not in my vocabulary!

nisamaxx Im glad it worked for you.

I have been at this for about 3 days...I tried de la vega..soft brick...I tried kingo..root failed not support...I tried vroot and tried the emulator trick to remove chinese root and install supersu...but emulator could not find file...

then i saw this thread and was very excited...the kingo setup file not reponding...so thats where im at...remove all root..back to stock...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djflipnautikz:
Pretty sure you are using the New kingo 1.2 and not the older version.

So far 3 people with the same problem, have used the same solution.

I used Vroot and temporarily disabled virus protection. Then uninstalled Chinese SU and installed SuperSu. Worked like a charm for me.

I had a really tough time getting Kingo to work. Ended up being Bluestacks running which was mentioned on his blog.

http://blog.kingoapp.com/two-reasons-that-tell-you-why-get-the-root-failed-connectionunstabitil-with-kingo-android-root/

Worked fine by simply quitting Bluestacks.

EDIT: Also using 1.1.6 and the drivers listed
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvirus11:
Yeah it took some work to get Kingo to work for dj and I and when he found the answer from pspbyer using the older version, we had root immediately.

I tried vroot but after my antivirus packaged the trigger files, I uninstalled vroot.

To me, personally, and I am by no means an expert...BUT...if my antivirus triggers trying to install anything on my PC then it's doing it's job. I bought it to do what it did, so that to me is a huge red flag. If it works for others and had zero issues therein after, then that is equally awesome and I'm glad root was achieved.

Just me being paranoid, LP guy me is all.

I'm glad the info Dj found works for us.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplec76:
Yes, once I saw the reviews and info regarding vRoot, I decided to stick it out with Kingo. Even after Kingo, there was a strange app in an asian language that I uninstalled. Unsure of what that was since I had not used vRoot.

I'm running MoKee44.2 ROM, the first thing I noticed is that the launcher has a small grid size. I can only fit 4 rows of icons on the home screen. Is there a way to increase the number of rows? I tried Xposed GEL Settings but it didn't help out :/
[Galaxy Note II General] irredd:
Try Xposed App Settings and set the launcher DPI to 210 for example (that's what I use) and Restart the phone. :)

BTW Wrong forum, should be in "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"

I changed the DPI from 320 to 240 and nothing changed, i'll try 210 if it works.

Thanks for the heads-up this is my first post :)

Hi my note 3 version n9005 has the following ap:

AP :N9005XXUBMHL

CP :N9005XXUBMHK

CSC :N9005OXABMHL

I could not find any information about this version, or anywhere to download it as a backup. In Kies region code is BTU so I found out that it is for Uk and Ireland. I found the firmwares for UK on samfirmware and it appears that the first released version is MI7.

Is my version a test firmware? I cannot get updates neither in kies or ota to MI7 or MJ1 and so on.

Is it safe to flash to MI7 with odin 3.09? Will it trip knox? If I succesfully update to MI7 will I be able to root with de la veda and preserve knox 0x0?

Does anyone else have this firmware? I've only seen very few people bring it up.

How can I dump my rom in order to have it as backup if flashing goes wrong? I'm not rooted.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] naujoks:
... that the power button of the Universal is in the completely wrong place? It should have been where it was on the MDA Pro: top right corner.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Bothered me for about 10mins...then just got used to it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZeBoxx:
the MDA Pro /is/ an HTC Universal, innit?

As for keys... I just got a new keyboard to replace my old one which had broken in half (just the casing, but you get the idea). I hate replacing keyboards because they always switch keys around... delete is now in the top right, instead of next to insert in the bottom right - left alt moved one over to the left where an Fn key was, and where the left alt was is now an additional backslash key (yep, there's two). So now whenever I want to alt-tab or alt-f4, it either doesn't work, or my screen will be filled with backslashes ;)

That said, I'm already getting used to it again.

Consider these things, mostly, minor nuisances - you'll get used to it soon enough. Doesn't take away that there -are- of course some devices with button locations that are just ill-conceived; e.g. a lamp I've got has its on/off switch 'hidden' behind the glass hood that covers the lamp... the problem is that if the lamp's been on for a while, reaching that button means risking a 1st degree burn if you touch the glass ;) I just unplug it instead.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] naujoks:
I think it'll continue to annoy me, as I will always need two hands to switch it on. Difficult when I'm on my bike (I like living dangerously), bothersome in most other situations.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hi..first i would do is flash the original rom for your phone and your region with odin, unless you had that OTA update that installs knox and then going back will not work, if you are on the original rom yet just reflash it, and then check this post here and get one of the recoveries from [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] signature in his post as links are in my post already for that and get the tar file of the recovery and flash it with odin and once the recovery is done flashing you must reboot into the recovery right away again otherwise it will install the stock recovery again..this only has to be once and then it will go into the custom recovery after that when you boot up your phone.

Then put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip onto your sdcard or external sdcard if you have one installed and flash it with the recovery and that will give you SuperUser status then and your phone will then be rooted as it works good doing it this way, by flashing the original rom or even a custom rom you should not lose your pics as that is usually left alone when doing this or can be synced with your google account if you did it this way.

This is what i would try first and see how it turns out especially when you flash the original rom..boot it up and see if you got your stuff back..unless the pics got deleted some how, use odin also to flash the original rom..just unpack it from it's zip file first and use the tar file inside.

Also do not wipe your internal sdcard as if your pics are on there it will delete then, you can do factory reset and the other stuff...let me know how you make out. :)

I picked up one of these as a curiosity, and the specs looked pretty good compared to some other Smartwatches out there. Unfortunately (for me) most of the limited instructions are in Chinese. The watch manager app is fairly weak as well. With these specs, it seems like someone could create a custom ROM that might make this a fun watch to play around with:

Operating system: Android 4.3

Screen size: 1.73 inches

Body size: length 50mm, width 35.5mm, high 7.5mm

Watch material: IML advanced technology, Eink flexible electronic ink screen

Buttons life: more than 100000 times

Resolution: 320 * 240, 16 level gray scale

The frequency of CPU: 1GHZ

RAM: 512MB

Flash Memory: 4GB

Crystal: stability +-10ppm

Bluetooth: V4.0 dual-mode, compatible with the traditional Bluetooth

Battery: 200mAh lithium polymer battery

[Other SmartWatches] ghirsh:
I thought the notification screen looked like burn in as well at first, but I did get it to show the number of messages. The screen is low budget, all plastic. There is burn in from the icons as well. The watch case does feel like aluminum. The watch itself is a nice concept, just very poorly executed.

Really? I'm childish? You threw a fit and started harassing me about the photos; that is both childish and mean spirited. You basically called me a liar.

Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?
