God damm it it worked i have the latest DM3 S5 rom on my note 2 and it looks cool thank you op for this bypass of knox.
[Galaxy Note II General] jutley:
When i am in philz recovery it says please update binary how do i do that? i have the latest vershion of su or do i need to replach su or something to latest vershion any links.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Sorry no idea about that.

I use TWRP 2.7.0

I suggest you use philz 6.25.0 the latest one.

And even I flashed the latest DN3 version today :P
[Galaxy Note II General] jutley:
I am using the latest philz 6.25.0
[Galaxy Note II General] aaron13:
Just update supersu directly via Google play this should solve it
[Galaxy Note II General] jutley:
It's already the latest vershion.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Do ine thing clear data and cache for superSu from app info and then re start the app.

It should ask for some binary update. And then maybe it will be done.

[Galaxy Note II General] jutley:
I unistalled it from the app option where it says remove for reinstall action from play store and then redownloaded from play store it then done the binary update all good now.
[Galaxy Note II General] jutley:
Is it possible to reset the binary counter on boot loader screen to 0 I think I have scored the highest score ever.? Triangle away will it work?

Interesting- and this method should work on most Samsung devices (unrooted and on Stock firmware)-I am thinking about SM900 Note 3.

Lol. Thats how any one flashes a custom rom, nothing new. Good guide for newbies.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
No actually people were fed up of trying to make superSu work with the knox stuff on the device.

So I thought if your ultimate goal is to flash a custom rom then you do not need to take so much pain in rooting the phone.

As you may know Root is not required to flash a custom rom. :)

Probably to remove all the confusion lets update the steps and tell people to UNTICK auto reboot from odin and let them flash the recovery..!

Then boot into recovery and have fun ;)

Bootloader issue

Very nice thread....but I need an advice or a tech info about this: I am on 4.4.2 pacman with N7100XXDME6 bootloader and N7100DDEMK1 baseband, wifi works great (of course with Dr. Ketan wifi patch) TWRP 2.7.0.2 everything works great Why?

I have tested several roms like Omega, Slimkat, Probam, CM11,etc. every Rom worked OK.

Only problem to upgrade to mj5 is only some roms that we can´t flash correct? and we cant go back, Why do I need to Flash MJ5... I never understood this...

Can anyone explain please?

Thanks keep the good work
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
MJ5 is important because it was 4.3 bootloader plus it was downgradeable.

MK4 and later bootloaders aren't downgradeable.

I was on MJ5 then flashed dr.ketan's bootloader and wifi patch so that made my bootloader to MG1. Then I flashed DN3 3.2 and was surprised to find it very unstable. Used to get random reboots and fc's. Then flashed MJ5 and every single problem vanished.

Hope you got your answer :)

Sent From My New Galaxy S5 GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] J-Santos:
Thanks for quick answer,

So your recommendation is to upgrade to MJ5 correct?

But, you were on MJ5 and flashed de.ketans bootloader and wifi patch (why?) you were already on MJ5? Sorry dont understand?

When our language is not english sometimes is difficult to understand what you mean...please be more specific.

As you know I have the note 2 GT-N7100 Internacional.

Thanks Again
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Just curious. My phone charges well even if out was switched off straight from the box 4.1.2. It shows me a battery and the current charge level. How is kitkat different?
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
All these issues you hear about phone not charging when turned off while on Kitkat ROM is due to the fact that none of us had a kitkat bootloader available at the time the ROM was leaked ,now that the official bootloader ND3 is available so one can charge their phone when on Kitkat ROM as simple as that
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
I see. Thanks for explaining.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Because I wanted to root it by flashing a custom recovery and that would have tripped knox even on the MJ5. So downgraded first then flashed custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
And when we connected the phone to the charger when it was switched off the phone just rebooted. I think that was because the charging files were inside the "/system" partition and it just rebooted to charge correctly.

While thats not the case with CM ROMS because they have a workaround for it. They create a special folder in the root directory called charger. So you can charge without KK BOOTLOADER on CM Roms.
[Galaxy Note II General] J-Santos:
Ok,

What about the mj5 bootloader do you recommend flashing? I am just a simple end user that loves Android, and likes flashing but the bootloader issue is a thing that I could not understand or have black and white explanation, I have searched in XDA and on google but never find a clear explanation about this....I dont know why?

Thanks Again
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
As I said earlier MJ5 is downgradeable hence it's important.

Flashing of MJ5 depends on what you want to do with your phone.

90 percent of the time it is required because you would be wanting to flash KK or 4.3 ROMS
[Galaxy Note II General] J-Santos:
OK, but I have flashed several 4.3 roms without no issues I have like I said before flashed dr.ketan wifi patch, and now I am on a KK 4.4.2 Rom (PacRom nightlies) with no problems. No fc or random reboots.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
The kitkat ROM we talking about is Samsung Touchwiz ROM ,as far as i know pacman are CM11/AOSP ROM right? Our mj5 bootloader would work fine on 4.3 Touchwiz and 4.4.2 AOSP/CM11 roms only issue comes when using samsung TW 4.4.2 that too it's only related with charging the phone in powered off state that's it ,so if you always charge your phone when it's on then you shouldn't worry about it until it's a absolute necessity to upgrade to ND3 bootloader,so for now enjoy the knox free bootloader.
[Galaxy Note II General] J-Santos:
Ok, just to keep it clear: mj5 bootloader is important for samsung Touchwiz ROM, if you want to upgrade? to solve wifi and fc not needed for other base Roms, like CM/ASOP, right.(because I don't have such problems)

Thank you for you info and recommendation, I will sit quiet.

Titanium Backup

Hi smeet.somaiya

I'm trying to Root a S3 I9305 so that i can install TB and backup my applications.

All the methods in the different forums have failed, and yes i managed to install TWRP etc without any problems.

@ some point I'm getting a Security Information window......"An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization......." .it seems to me that this is stopping me rooting the phone.......any suggestions of what this is and how to avoid it.

On the other hand if i use your OP suggestions to update a Custom Rooted ROM will it actually install ROOT? ....so that i can finally use TB (-although i would prefer being able to install TB prior to installing a new ROM so i can make Apps BackUp).

Would appreciate your advice

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II General] EddieK23:
So I would really like to download custom roms and such, but I have a rooted Note 2 MJ9 with Android 4.3, for which none of the devs have made a way to unlock the boot loader. This basically means I can never install custom roms, but I have a few questions:

1. Does anyone know of a way to unlock the MJ9 bootloader that I didn't hear of? I tried both the xda forums, a few other forums and a long Google search with no results.

2. If there is literally no way to unlock this boot loader, can this method be used to install custom roms with safestrap? From what I hear, safestrap doesn't currently allow secondary rom-slots to work, which means you have to do a complete wipe of your stock rom and install a new one from there. If need be, I will do this, but I'd rather find an alternative way for this to work so I wouldn't have to resort to backing up literally all my files, trying the safestrap method out, finding it out it doesn't work, and then restore all my data and such.

Thank you so much in advance.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
This is the correct thread for you.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52181603

It's for the GN2 4.4.2 but it will work for almost any device. Just use a compatible recovery. The update superSu zip file will be the same. (The link is there on that thread.

And after rooting you will get those security notifications. Don't worry about that. If you still want them to be disabled use "Disa le Knox notifications" option in Wanam xposed.

[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
I presume you have the international version of the N2.

It doesn't require unlocking the bootloader afaik.

Samsung bootloader isn't locked in the first place. Unless you are locked to a specific carrier which I don't think is true in your case.

Are you locked to a specific carrier?

Like verizon or T mobile? Then you would find the unlock methods on the carriers' site itself.

I have the Verizon SCH-i605, and with the MJ9 version there has been no known way to unlock the bootloader, from what I found at least. Adam Outler, the guy who came up with the original method to root the Verizon Note 2, said that the MJ9 is a lost cause and that people are better off getting a new phone.

I'll keep looking at methods on the bootloader, but until then I'm stuck on rooted stock :( but this project is nonetheless amazing, and I wish I could be a user of it.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Hmm. I see.

What you can do is ask some developer for an advice. Try asking people on safestrap thread. I think safestrap should do the trick for you.

Actually I am from India and I don't have much of an idea about unlocking verizon phones.

Hey how about trying the unlocking method from sammobile or www.samsung-updates.com

Maybe it could help you :)

which one should i select?

[Galaxy Note II General] sameeranizer:

also what will happen if the flashing of philz or twrp recovery failed? will the device boot normally?

will it encounter any bootloops or bricking if recovery flashing is failed?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
99percent of thw time recovery flashing won't fail on odin.

If it does fail due to some error then just flash it again.

I use philz from the beginning so I recommend philz.

Edit: You can use TWRP if you like. But if you encounter problems switch to philz.
[Galaxy Note II General] sameeranizer:
I planned on to use twrp but now I will use philz.....btw which philz recovery version is best for installing dn3?

Have you encountered any bugs on dn3 v5+ ?
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Small bugs are present on v5plus lite version which can be easily fixed. However the full version is bug free.

I got a bootloop while installing V5+ with TWRP. So I said philz.

Philz 6.41 is the best
[Galaxy Note II General] sameeranizer:

Can you tell me about the battery life on dn3 v5+?
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:

I got MK1 rom here, what is the best way to upgrade to 4.4.2 customs rom without trigger Knox?

Do I need to upgrade the bootloader to MJ5 and flash fix for wifi?

Please correct me if I'm wrong here,

All I need is using Odin to flash CWM or TWRP recovery

Then flash MJ5 bootloader

Then flash wifi fix from Dr. Ketan

and lastly flash the 4.4.2 customs rom that I need.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Check your bootloader from phone info app from playstore. I think you already upgraded to MK4 bootloader. Now you can't go back to MJ5.

Root your phone with saferoot. It is easy to find. And it won't trip knox

Then flash recovery from Dr . Ketan's utility app.

Then you can flash custom roms ;)

hi Smeet.somaiya and others, i having problem and i think this thread can help.

I have N7105. i was at 4.3 with bootloader 4.1.2 (im sure about this), rooted with custom ROM DN3.

Then i upgraded to CM11 (after full wipe etc) - not sure what bootloader i have at this stage.

all good. but when upgrading to nightly build, i got com.android.provision stopped error. i gave up fixing it.

then i flash 4.4.2 rom Nordic from sammobile via ODIN - not sure what bootloader i have at this stage.

all good. BUT

when i flash CF auto root, even Odin says PASS, success, etc, my rom still un-root.

I also tried flashed TWRP,CWM recovery, but after completing the process, my mobile always restarts to home screen not custom recovery.

Im confuse, should i root first then install custom recovery or install custom recovery then only i can root?

so, now i must have KNOXED 4.4 ROM with bootloader 4.4 which prevent me from modifying and rooting? is this right? yes i noticed i have KNOX app in the drawer and i cant remove it!

i will try your method on page 1, but can you advise me what should i do if i want to permanently root my mobile, and have custom recovery (doesnt matter which one).

also i dont care about tripping the KNOX for warranty.

I have all the files ready, read instructions, but just not sure why always failed to root:(

thanks alot.

You didn't follow the procedure correctly bro.

You need to boot into recovery from download mode itself. If you allow the phone to reboot the newly flashed recovery will be overwritten by stock recovery.

Using Odin 3.7 It gets to "start Flashing" but then it stops and says Fail.

I have tried

Auto Reboot checked and unchecked

I have downloaded several different copies of Odin 3.7 and phlz_touch_6.48.4-n7100.tar.md5

You have a locked bootloader to prevent flashing. What you can do is give a try to towelroot.apk and check if that works, if not, ask someone in the VZW note 2 forums and some recognized developer might be able to help better on this case.

Ok, here is my story:

I bought that phone with firmware .31, unlocked bootloader and flashed vengeance kernel last summer.

Everything was fine.

After a long time with that combination i updated my phone to 4.2.2 .12 firmware and then to .14. (bootloader locked again with ta-backup, everytime with flashtool).

At the beginning my phone started every 30 minutes. After 4 or 5 tries flashing the .14 firmware (with pcc and flashtool) it was getting better.

Ne reboots at all. But now i have again problems with the reboots. Not, when its lying on the table, but when it is in my pocket (at least it seems so).

I have tried flashing another kernel (phantom 4.5), but nothing changed.

Now i am back on .27 JB 4.1 to check if it's better with that version.

Any suggestions?
