I understand your point about the minimum donation amount but had to set this because of people donating 1p just to get an activation code. There is a donation button right under my username on every one of my posts for users who do not want to donate much and there is no minimum amount set on that link.

Any custom image flashed sets the knox flag to 0x1.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Bugger it I'll donate the full amount.

You seem like a good guy and 4 GBP isn't really all THAT much. I'll just have a cheap lunch tomorrow :victory:

Pretty much, with the exception of using the mobile odin pro method Here. Still a chance to trip it or otherwise rape your device so I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] taticuio:
Ok, I get the idea but if I don't flash custom image just root, is it possible to keep Knox 0 ?

Thank you for your effort and job.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
It's possible if you are on 4.3, but if you've upgraded to the 4.4.x firmware then I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong people) that you can't.

Way I see it: If the device gets completely bricked (can't turn on the screen) then knox warranty isn't a problem anyway as they are not able to prove it was voided. If it was soft bricked and want to claim warranty repair/replace then make it hard bricked. Swimming pool anyone?

Just make damn sure you tell them the problem occurred while Samsung Kies was flashing the latest update.

They go full-slime bag on voiding warranty via rooting then return the favour by getting the warranty claim regardless.

Either way I still think rooting on its own is virtually useless (for me personally) I'd rather just go the whole hog or stay with stock everything.:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] taticuio:
Thanks but the idea is not about warranty in my case, I heard about some stupid Knox notifications and custom text on boot screen when you root yor phone and also is there any performance issues on stock rooted phone?

I choose to root to delete unnecessary app and block ads also to have root for some apps for Android.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Ah ok,

Well if you want root then go for it, ignore the notification comments because they are easily removed by using system app removal apks and TriangleAway for the ****ty notification at boot. Best bet is to simply use a custom firmware though seeing as 99 times out of a hundred all the bloat ware and Knox system APKs will already be deleted not to mention the tweaks the ROM chef/cooks put into it. 50% of the roms these days are AOSP/CM based which are literally just the most basic stock version of Android and then adding whatever the person making the rom wants to add to it. The downside to this is that the S Pen software is completely gone due to the fact it's incorporated into TouchWiz.

But yeah, check the forums for roms that aren't AOSP or CM based. X Note is a good one from memory.

Hi, excellent toolkit, have used your toolkits to several devices before, but not I'm trying it on my Note 3 and I can't get it to install recovery and so on...

I've tried to install both TWRP and Clockwork, everything works fine until it reboots into recovery, which is the stock recovery, so i tried option 7 which then want's to install the recovery once again and then it reboots and I get into stock recovery again...and so on...

What am I missing here? I bet it's something simple...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] billjobs:
An Excellent toolkit!

Man this is such a wonderful toolkit. I rooted it without bricking! :p

One thing needs to be changed here, the ones trying to root their 4.4.2 will need to undergo the manual Push method only to rename the recovery(step 7) and need to be very careful knowing what they are doing, since I could not get it to root my device in any other method!

When in TWRP recovery hopefully your PC installs the reqd drivers else You will be left wondering like me! :confused:

If it hasn't then go and install it manually as shown in the NOTE at some point in the Toolkit. Install the drivers i.e Samsung Android ADB Interface in order to proceed from here. Keep this in mind..

ATB :good: to all the Note 3 users who use this.. it is simple but You need to know what You are doing..

Finally, Great TOOLKIT.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Juangiluruguay:
Hello,

Well, that is an important hint.

I also have the problem, like couple more guys that have posted them earlier, that no mather what Recovery method is flashed, the Stock recovery comes back, and STEP 7 in the main menu, only guide me to re-flash custom recovery.

Could you please explain your steps, as detailed as possible, of how you pushed to rename the recovery?

Maybe that will be enough to continue with the rooting process... untill next "challenge" haha.

What I can say, is that is a new telephone, and the last owner, yesterday before he sold it, made the latest Samsung updates (Device info says 4.4.2..)... maybe they are now blocking something on the procedure that works for many people.

Something else really funny... I tried to check manually software update, and now it says.... YOUR DEVICE HAS BEING MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE....

So.. is it because the device had the latest update .... or I just went in a trip with a 1 way ticket .. with a flat tire... hahaha :crying:.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] billjobs:
Hey brother, [MENTION=2149674]Juangiluruguay[/MENTION] don't worry.. until you pull the plug off the device while flashing it in Odin there is no problem.. Actually I have done that too in my Galaxy S just to see if it really bricks and it still works like a charm :D (sadistic!, I know). Not suggesting You should do that but don't worry.

And the Software Update part You just said I think You have triggered Knox counter and so No more Official Updates for You ;) welcome to the Knox'ed Group.

Almost Every user flashing from 4.4.2 has to follow this method after selecting Model, Android version in toolkit follow this-

Step 1. Type in " 7 " i.e Rename Recovery Restore Files.

Step 2. Type in " 3 " i.e Sideload zip file;

Step 3. Type in " n " when asked if You have already flashed TWRP;

Step 4. Type in whichever recovery no. You want. (I use Philz Touch since I've been used to CWM and Philz is touchable :) )

Step 5. With USB debugging enabled plug in the device powered on and in Homescreen, better You disable Lock screen for some time. Type " y " when You are ready to continue.

Step 6. ****Very crucial*** When Odin pops up make sure You

un-tick the option "Auto Reboot". See to it that "F. Reset Time" is only option which is ticked.

And select the Recovery file to be loaded into PDA and after that Press "Start".

Step 7. Now don't panic after the flash the phone will still be in Download mode so You need to un-plug the device and press 3-button combo which is Volume UP+Home+POWER buttons until You see the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo and release it immediately. (Now what You did is over-ride Samsung recovery replacer and You took control)

Step 8. Now You need to flash the file named "permanent-recovery.zip" (which will be in Your device) through recovery itself.

Step 9. Reboot into device and do whatever SuperSU asks You to do. I recommend, You check for root status using any app (search Root checker on play store)

Step 10. And copy any Rom or kernel and move on. ;)

Anybody, If there is anything missing in-between these steps please let Us know.. Happy Flashing.. I have covered all the steps as far as I can remember and I hope this helps.

[MENTION=2149674]Juangiluruguay[/MENTION] let me know if it works. It should as far as I know. Happy flashing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Juangiluruguay:
That's what I am talking about.... HELP.

Thank you soo much.

That was the missing step to further.... to happily belong to the Knok'ed Group, haha.

As for the counter.... yup, is already in 1 even since I noticed it...

Anyway, I can't live without a rooted rom. All my telephones have being rooted, and yes, every different model is a brain storm to figure out the best and proper way to do it.

This tool has explanations for dummies, which is great, and this kind of things helps the developer to make a even better product, if is there isn't a thing I was missing.., but with all this new updates, you never know what this guys are doing to make it more difficult.

I have 1 more question/request, if anybody would care enough....

So, I am .. free??, haha, but this phone has another 2 year garantie, and in the scenario that I should bring him to service...

Which files should I flash, and in which order?

I should download a package of files, and put them in some folder on my PC, together with the tools to be used, and a proper instruction sheet.. dummy proof, haha.

Now, thanks to you guys.. to flash rooms and take the most out of it for a year of so, until the Note 4 comes.... and gets cheaper.... second hand I mean, haha

I think that anyone that found this piece of the tread useful, should thank you and the Tool maker ;)

Thank's man!!! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] testina:
1) where do I find the recovery file to be uploaded in step 6?

2) the permanent-recovery.zip in step 8 is formed by itself or you have to download?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] billjobs:
Well "Free" depends on how You put it! If You are flashing a Custom Rom and having fun after removing all Samsung bloatware then You are Free!

As for the guarantee/warranty part, SORRY but You have triggered Knox and so 99% chances are that Samsung will not cover your device. :rolleyes:

There is just one way I have seen people doing it i.e. - flash stock ROM downloaded from sammobile using Odin and hope that the repair guy in the Store You visit does not check Knox trigger by going into Download Mode. If he does then, well You are screwed. :cowboy:

Thanks for the Thanks. But Seriously, [MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] deserves all the credit!! Take a bow brother! You are just awesome.. I felt a lil scared to play with the tool seeing all that Matrix inspired green cmd window but finally I succeeded :cool:

And btw after 3 Pages of postings, this Thread was not given a rating!! People please rate such awesome threads with 5 STARS. The least You can do is Rate it and Thank them for their awesome work!

1> The file path for the recovery file selection is C:\Unified_Android_ToolKit\recovery\GalaxyNote3 which You need to follow after clicking on PDA in Odin, and then choose the recovery You mentioned in Step 4.

2> that file is automatically copied onto the phone :silly:

You just need to go and flash it in recovery itself.

Let me know if You face any difficulty.

I still do not understand a passage. In the download location I have ticket 3: skip custom recovery download and proceed to main menu.

Is that correct? no!!!

ok solved with philz_touch_6.19.3.

Now finally with titanium backup and save to sd app I use to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

My similar problem is that after having booted in TWRP, I cannot find the permanent-recovery.zip in the internal sd or the external sd folder. Could you tell me what's the exact path of the folder where it should have been created by the toolkit ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] billjobs:
I found it in the int SD card! not in any folder, it is copied automatically in the int sd card. Just try with Philz touch recovery...

I have a N900w8 that is in bootloop "loading recovery and reboot" evry time after trying to root with kingo, is there any way that I can try to fix it with this app?

If needed, I try to explain the hystory before:

Some months ago, I bought a Note3 from an online store in Ontario and I used kingo to root and it worked. I rooted a sim unlocked n900w8, installed cwm and cyanogenmod 11. Everything worked perfectly for some months.

After several months, it was not able to register to network and I sent back to the Canadagsm and they fixed, but it came back to original (not root and android 4.4.2 running). So I followed the same procedure that I did in the past, but now the phone does not turn on, it says booting recovery all the time and it does not seem to be rooted at all. If I plug the usb charger it does the same, I can't turn it on and if I try to reroot it always fails.

Any suggestion? Thanks a lot

Alright, I have TWRP recovery installed, but I don't know where it is located on my phone. I'd like to move it to my external sd card so I don't accidentally wipe or remove it.

1.) Can I move the location of my existing TWRP install without messing it up? If so, where would I look to find it?

2.) Will wiping current rom, cache, internal storage, etc. actually remove the TWRP I've worked so hard to install? =)
