Japanese Docomo Galaxy Note 3 (SC-01F) not working

Device: Galaxy Note 3

Model number: SC-01F

Android version: 4.3

Baseband version: SC01FOMUCNC3

kernel version: 3.4.0-2601168

Built number:JSS15J.SC01FOMUCNC3

After hitting the "make it ra1n" button the device " freezes" then a prompt saying: "towelroot isn't responding, Do you want to close it?" Shows up.

If you hit "wait" the prompt comes back after a while, if you hit "yes" the device simply reboot.

Very nice work [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION].

Is this the highest every bounty for root (USD 18,000+)?

Can a list of devices where this works, be included in the OP when geohot is back from his party? :)

From the first post "Please report bugs to my gmail geohot+towelroot or in this thread.

New version will be released later today hopefully fixing them"

He is asking for people to post bugs in this thread also,so not sure why you are telling people to stop :o

Also can someone tell me the correct email address to send logcat too?

I see a paypal address but im not sure if thats correct and im not sure what gmail geohot+towelroot means

Quick question - I installed SuperSU from Google Play. Starts up fine but then it comes up with it saying that it has detected KNOX and asking if I want to disable knox.

What does this function do and also what are the chances if I disable it, will it trigger knox?

I've searched through the thread but can't find an answer to my question so I'll ask!

I have a S4 i9505 international with firmware I9505XXUFNB9

Does towelroot work on this device with this firmware and will it trip the knox flag?

It's a work phone with MobileIron MDM installed so I'd rather not try it and see just in case it does

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks Geohot for all your hard work. I will try to donate something for your work.... just a simple question, I was reading through the thread but I didnt see it.. sry if i repeat this question.. When I install the superSU and it asks me to update.. do I hit continue and let it disable the Knox security or hit cancel?? so far all the apps i use that require root are working good with knox security Enable.

So I kept my s5 off over the last few weeks because I started getting the ota reminders & didn't want it to stop me from rooting when it came out. I turned my phone on last night and the update immediately popped up saying my phone would reboot in 10 seconds. I pulled the battery, and when it restarted it said that the update had failed (I've read that it won't pop up again after that) so I rooted and froze the update service. So towelroot was released just in time for me to root & I'm so thankful to geo

This peogan does not trip knox so shouldent be an issue all it can do is fail it wont hurt your phone most everybody that it gas faiked for just get a reboot

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] scheuch:
Great!

In my Xperia z (C6603, Android 4.4.2) and my Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005, Android 4.4.2) it worked very well. The Note 3 crashed on the first attempt. After a reboot and a second attempt it worked.

In an Xperia Ultra (C6833, Android 4.4.2) it unfortunately did not work. The app hung and led to a restart. Unfortunately, a second attempt did not work also.

The Ultra has the build number 14.3.A.0.757

The Kernel Version from Note 3: 3.4.0-1168347

I think its because of Exynos don't get support now~~

towelroot it can't root for Exynos cpu device .

my phone is note 3 （sm-n900）Exynos 5420 get failed.

And I see a friend using S5(sm-g900H) Exynos 5422 also fail.

S4 International (Exynos) GT-I9500 Exynos 5410 also fail.

so.... maybe towelroot only be made for Qualcomm device right now.

Thank you very much

Standard International Note 3 9005 rooted with latest 4.4.2 firmware

Knox 0x0

Only thing... I cannot update the SU binary. I have installed the SuperSU.apk....and it wants to update the binary...and I can't.

Can't install the 1.99 zip...as I have no custom recovery (nor do I want to...as that would no doubt screw the knox counter)

How can I update the SuperSU while staying safe with knox counter?

I think you should change the title, it doesn't work on many phones as i see and someone even said it has bricked his one. HTC Desire (Bravo) a8181 not working too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
Apologies - what I was trying to say is I can figure out how to go about finding sdm.apk, not that I know where it is. Basically, I'll hunt around with FX or create a terminal and grep through some directory listings.

IIRC, I've seen posts in this (oh so very, very, very chaotic) thread about being unable to change sdk.apk's name. I assume that it can only be renamed when in superuser mode*. At least that's how I'd approach it in Linux.

* In a terminal window use su - - that's "su" followed by a blank and hyphen. However, if a reader doesn't know about "su -", or the god-like power it confers (too easy to permanently break things), maybe this isn't a good project to take on?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RavenY2K3:
You can't, to get it to work you would need to flash a custom recovery which would trip the counter, at that point you may as well use CF-AutoRoot

Just backed up with tibu.....at the bottom, after the back up was completed, it said "you were silently denied super user access" or permission...something like that.

I ran towelroot and rooted just fine. Then I installed the supersu 1.99 apk.....it gave me the option to disable KNOX but, the box went away too quickly. Several times I uninstalled SU, rebboted phone, reinstalled the apk just so that I could "catch" the box, and I am not able to.

I figured I was just fine...then made the backup with tibu, and saw that message on the bottom. The back up seemed to have worked.....

Succesfully rooted my dutch note 3 n9005, tysm. A donation is on my to-do list.

It has been a while since i had a rooted phone. I would like some advice on what to do after this root.

1. I installed suppersu apk, updated library and disabled knox. Did i do this right?

2. Do i need to install a custom recovery? If yes, should it be cwm or twrp for the note 3? What is the best way to do this?

3. Do i need to install the busybox app? If yes, what is the best one for the note 3?

4. Is it good to stay on the custom rom? What will happen to ota updates now that i am rooted? I have read that updating is not possible anymore. Does this mean that i need to install a custom rom if i want to enjoy a new android version?

5. Any other steps i need to do before enjoying my root apps?

Thanks in advance.

bricked verizon galaxy s5

Hello all,

Found out I'm a huge idiot..I've been rooting forever but just switched to Verizon so didn't know about the extra lockdowns Verizon has on the bootloader. I rooted then installed TWRP recovery like I've done on other phones without realizing what a mistake that was..I unfortunately now understand the error of my ways.

My phone will not boot up, but just says "System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon wireless store for help."

All I can do is that screen and download mode for Odin..is there anything currently available to flash through Odin to get my phone back to stock or get the stock recovery back on the phone to allow it to boot up? Or am I out of luck until further development happens?

Thanks a ton for anyone who might have more knowledge than myself on this little problem I've gotten myself into.

Does TowelRoot work on Samsung S III ( S3 ) i9300 ?

Has anyone successfully run ActiveRoot on his/her Samsung SIII and rooted this phone?

Which Samsung S3 do you have? i9300 or e.g. i9305 (with 2 GB of RAM)?

And which version of Android do you have?

And what does this do with your KNOX counter?

Any other side effects? (update of the bootloader?, update of kernel version, update baseband of the S3, Apps that don't work anymore etc. etc.?) And I assume it does not do a factory reset of my settings, right?

Can you please share with me in case you failed or succeeded?
