For clarification purposes:

If you upgrade to MJB you will have the 4.3 KNOX apps (OS) and KNOX bootloader (Firmware). You can easily root following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538991

Once rooted by following the guide noted above you will have the 4.3 KNOX (OS) removed BUT not the KNOX bootloader. With the KNOX bootloader you will never be able to downgrade the bootloader. What that means is that you can never use odin to flash an older firmware or you will brick!

Now that your MJB is rooted you can flash any ROM you want 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2 since most custom ROMS dont include the bootloader in the ROM package.

Hope this clears things up?

I'm on the latest bootloader and modem and I haven't had any trouble flashing any aosp based roms. Only thing I was told you might have to take the bootloader line out of the update script, but so far I haven't had to at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
just wanted to clarify, i'm already rooted, so i was going to follow the guide from my first post (since this guide has ZIP files i can flash in CWM):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2321310

would i reboot first, then flash a new ROM?

or should i flash the bootloader, then immediately flash the new ROM?

UPDATE: so i ended up just following the ZIP file guide:

Hey all,

I bought a Factor Refurbished TF700t with the intention of getting CROM-i flashed on it. I was able to get it unlocked with no issue, however, whenever I try to flash twrp to it, I get this.

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Android Studio\sdk\platform-tools> fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

sending 'recovery' (6948 KB)...

and sometimes this

finished. total time: 0.009s

I am running the naked USB drivers, usb debugging is enabled and rooting with motochopper does not work. I also downgraded to the 10.6.1.14.8 build. It should be noted that I was on 10.6.1.14.10 build when I did the unlocking, but that didn't seem to effect anything. Lastly, fastboot does see the device as I get this output:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Android Studio\sdk\platform-tools> fastboot devices

015d2d43004bfc01 fastboot

My fear is this may be an issue with the factory referb I got, but hopfully that's not the case! If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

Edit: Solved! The answer was to do it in Linux. Grab a distro of Mint and get to it! =D
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It looks like that you have a bad download. Check the md5 to ensure that it is not corrupted..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah - and also: which TWRP version are you trying to flash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Can confirm, the hash is correct. Confirmed using the MD5 Check Util.

I've tried multiple different ones with the same result sadly, but mostly I've tried 2.7.0.0.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Try a different USB port...

Try to wait to plug your device into your PC until your tablet is already in fastboot...

Let me know if this helps... Thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Still no luck. I've been at this for a couple days now. I've tried different cords (one from my dad who also has a TF700 and also my old TF100 cords) and different USB ports, same result for all of them. I read somewhere about USB 3.0 possibly causing problems, is this true? I tried my USB 2.0 ports, but the result seemed the same.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Try "fastboot flash staging twrp.blob", maybe this works better. If not, it can't break anything.

So your file is good..

I just flashed twrp v2.7 yesterday and went fast and done.. So the v2.7 is working on the tf700. I think that this might be causing the problem.

Copy your fastboot folder and put it here c:\platform_tools> fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob. I think that android is a unix/linux base so they don't like special characters which means no "space".

Please try that and report back for other users have the same issue, thanks..

[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Well that's pretty sweet. :) I assume a live USB will do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Everything is looking good and you said that your device is communicating with the fastboot command "fastboot devices" with a return of your device serial number. I don't know why that it refuses to write to your recovery partition. Maybe there are some bad blocks in your partition but you just reinstall the stock firmware. I am sorry that I don't have a clue what is going on...:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
It will but I would install it native to a hard drive, as we are talking about a 400 dollar tablet.. Your call :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
I could see that being a possibility since it is a factory referb... Is there any way to scan the partition for errors like a chkdsk? I'm guessing because I unlocked it, my limited 90 day warranty means diddly squat now... I don't suppose there's any way to flash everything wiped clean and try again from scratch, is there?

Solid point!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
There is but we must be able to write to the devices as that seems to be where all your errors are coming from, the writing process...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
There is also a problem with reading the file: (bootloader) Received Data of Bad Length. I would try to download the twrp file again and give it a shot and make sure that it is for the tf700...Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

BTW, you can try to erase your recovery first and flash it after but it is very dangerous if you can write to it. So you have no recovery to install anything else..:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Still waiting for my mint USB to be made, but while I was waiting, I tried doing the ADB Terminal method with the console, this was the result:

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4: cannot open for write: Permission denied

This makes me think perhaps my device isn't truly unlocked? Shouldn't I have permission to do this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Did you open your CMD Window as admin?? Try that lol.. I missed that all together....

Once in shell you need to be root.. Access root in shell by typing

su
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Actually, I'm realizing now this is probably because my device is not rooted. I think I need to be rooted to do an "su" command before that command.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Correct... But you still need to open your CMD window as admin for fastboot commands to work also.....:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Highsight:
Yep, I have been. I actually run with UAC off, so every console I open is admin. Just to be on the safe side, I tried doing a "Run as Administrator", same effect. =c

I've just got the liveUSB made. Once I am in mint, what exactly do I need to do? Can you point me to a tutorial on how to do this through Linux?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
On install make sure you make a password, as it will be needed later...

Than you need to update Mint, This is easy...Just open a terminal... It will look similar to the CMD window from windows...

To update Mint type

sudo apt-get update

This will pull in all the new updates... Than to install the updates type

sudo apt-get upgrade

If you are asked to give a Y/N option during the upgrade always choose YES....

Than after you get all updated and upgraded....:D

You will need to install fastboot and adb also from terminal type

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Than

sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

Let me know if you have any questions... Thx lj

Hi,

I have a similar problem. After doing

fastboot erase recovery

was not able to reflash it.

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp-2.7.1.1-tf700t.blob

takes ages and looks like it would never finish.

Android itself is working, the tablet is rooted, adb and fastboot can see the tablet, reboot it, adb shell works fine.

I'm wondering if fastboot erase recovery is really that dangerous or is recovery partition has been deleted and I need to create a new one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Are you running Windows as administrator? Doesn't sound as if the fastboot commands go through. Try:

fastboot flash recovery file-name

BTW, why are you flashing an outdated recovery? What rom are you running?

Hey how's everyone doing, I've recently acquired a Galaxy Note 3 and was wondering what would I need to do in order to root? I been reading a bit but theres a lot of things I don't understand like NAB~ or knox~

I've been done this before on my old Samsung Intercept back in sdxdevelopers, moved over here after acquiring an Evo 3D and was familiar with all the stuff, then I got an S4 but didn't have it long enough to root it, now I want to root my Note 3 but I'm not sure if theres something I should do before rooting

This is what I have right now still stock straight from the Sprint Store

Thanks in advance guys I look forward to learning!

Best advice is to read around, these questions have been asked so many times, people are starting to ignore them. Take an hour and read up on the forums and you will find all the answers you need, if you get stuck with something in particular, ask in that thread. Best of luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marioca:
I did do some research but I can't find specific stuff like I know what knox is but I don't know what happens with that "Strike" or how you get it etc etc.. if I shoulda update before rooting etc etc, it's confusing :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
The current systems people are using are, mj4, na4, nab, nabd; nab and nabd are the Kit Kat versions most are on, you are currently on mj4 (jelly bean). Knox is just security crap built into the phone, if you flash a recovery on your phone it will trip knox changing the setting to 0X1, basically a way they can see if you screwed with your phone and it might void your warranty should you have to return the phone. You can follow the directions in this post to help and if you run into problems, ask there, best advice is to read it all and then go from there, plenty of people there that will help if you stumble. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630514

Good luck and read all directions prior so you don't screw anything up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marioca:
Ok I understand what Knox is now, but now my concern is what is nab and nabd, what does it pertain, what difference do they have and which one is better? I been reading and I can't seem to find it, also I just got asked to update and I'm not sure if I shoulda root first or take OTA then root?

I'm using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2474222
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
No real difference between NAB and nabd, use either one. If you take the update, which I would, it will put you in version nab and then all you have to do is root and flash a recovery and then good to go.

When I select RECOVERY in the bootloader menu, the phone goes back to the looping on and off.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis.l:
I have seen quite a few people managed to port the Galaxy Note 3 camera onto the Galaxy S3. I want to do the reverse.

I have been trying to get the galaxy S3 camera to work on the Note 3. This is because the Note 3 camera app does not make proper use of the excellent camera on the note 3. quite a few of the manual modes are missing especially the "low light" mode.

So far I have been able to extract the apk from the S3 and installed it in on my note 3. however I can only do it by removing the stock Note 3 camera apk. It works well and I can take photos and use the low light mode. however the ui is all over the place due to different screen resolutions(eg, the camera button is in the middle of the screen.)

Does anyone know how to port the S3 camera onto the note 3 so that 1) it registers as a separate program and 2) resize icons and 3 fix layout issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Try changing the DPI of that app using App Settings in Xposed Framework. If you fix it so that the DPI matches the DPI on the S3, it may display better.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis.l:
Thanks. I found this http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...app-layout-and-dpi-settings-xda-developer-tv/

This may work. but I was thinking of making the apk work rather than changing my phone to suit the camera app. Also, this does not address the problem where I cannot have the original Note 3 camera and the galaxy s3 camera apps installed together.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
You don't essentially change your phone, App Settings is a system module that changes individual apk's DPI and not the whole phone's if you don't want it to.

Also you can't have the same app because the signature is the same. "com.sec.camera" in /system/app, if you change this you may be able to run both at the same time without uninstalling one.
