I flashed 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S4 with MOP and had no problems. I seriously doubt you could brick your phone by flashing a modem, maybe only if you flashed the wrong bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khalid Almahmeed:
it was perfect untill today !!!

it rooted and was working perfectly but after some updates now my phone is not rooted anymore can you help me please !!

My phone is Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 4.4.2

baseband version N9005XXUGNG1

tried to root it once again but it say my phone is not rooted
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ramyaboutalb:
hi man

i have 2 question

1- how to unroot the note after root with this method ?

2- if i get lolipop update and update the phone what will happen to knox (tripped or not )

thanks for root method
[Galaxy Note 3 General] syamsoul:
hi man..

1- to unroot, you can just flash back original samsung firmware through odin and factory reset afterward

2 - if you get lollipop update through OTA, and your phone is rooted, your phone will download the update files but can not finish the update process. unless you update through ODIN, you will lose your root.

If you need your phone rooted, update your phone through Mobile ODIN Pro with Everoot checked.

Done, wifi problems fix after use the odin to flash the "n9005zhuenh4" keral, Thanks!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] louiscar:
I'm still on the original JB rom with root via Towelroot.

What is the best thing to do here. I want to end up on a Kitkat stock for now (not Lollipop).

Should I flash the full stock firmware to the desired Kitkat version via Odin, then follow the OP? Or is there another way?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Annunneo:
That is the best way.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
So you are saying that I can upgrade to NG2, then flash OLD kernel, run Towelroot and after that just flash NG2 kernel back and my KNOX will be 0x0. Am I right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
Yes, exactly! :D

It has already been well tested by XDA members :D

Do as I wrote in #1 and will be ok :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] usvimal:
Hi I did exactly as stated but now my wifi doesnt work :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
Read post # 39

Use data connection while you tap "make it ra1n"

Do not forget to restore your original kernel after rooting (p.5)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] usvimal:
Never mind. I could not access wifi using the original kernel. However, I kept ND4 and could root it. Thanks anyways!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] csk8800:
Million thanks to _alexndr for sharing this wonderful method.

One of the happy SGN3 user who just updated all the way from JB 4.3 MJ7 to KK 4.4.2 NF4 with this method...

And yes, the knox still remain at 0x0!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ghanabobo:
i have succesfuly rooted my device but supersu says that knox is detected and it has to be disabled, if i do will this trip knox ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
No, you can do it without tripping KNOX :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lazer.74:
Yes...it works!!!

Many many thanks for your trick alexndr!!!

Worked like a charm on Italian no-brand XXUGNG1 without tripping KNOX counter :good:

Great, really great mate... now I can enjoy my rooted Note 3 with newest firmware! :victory:

Thanks again ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kibasscies:
Congratulations!! This is a classical Columbus' egg: only a genius could find so simple a solution!!!

Towelroot only works with older kernels? So I flash an older kernel, then I run Towelroot and finally I flash again the current kernel for my PDA. Incredibly simple, yet extraordinary!!!!

Just performed on my device (Italian no-brand XXUGNG1) and everything is working fine, Knox counter still 0x0 !!!

Hi @ _alexndr

I own an N9000Q, Build number KOT49H.N9000QXXUENG4 in my case how can I use your method to root my device? Thank you.

Unrooted with stock ROM. Knox 0X0
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bitmappp:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] GDT:
One question, maybe just answered. I was with nd3 (itv) rooted with towelroot (knox 0x0) then upgraded to ng2 with mobile odin method, so I'm still with nd3 bootloader. Now can I update via OTA to latest gng1 and then apply your method?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] p-vlad:
Hi to all,

I come form the 3D world of LG Optimus 3D and I am not familiar with odin 3.09 very much.

I know when I flash full ROM I have to keep "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".

Do I have to un-check "F. Reset Time" when I install only Kernel?

Do I have to check other functions from the option menu?

10x to all

P-VLAD
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
My method works fine on GNG1 :)

No, leave all default functions ticked ( "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time")
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Swe_cal:
Yeah guys. I know. I am a noob at these kinds of things....

Anyway. I got have a little more steps for this kind of rooting.

Okay so I got the N9005XXUGNG1, and my question is now.

-What is AP in Odin for PC?

-Should I change the kernel via Odin?(this would be ofc yes?)

-Doing so wont trigger knox?

-After the root via the Application, do I proceed to change the kernel back to XXUGNG1 via Odin Mobile?

-Am I done after that?

UPDATE! I got it Rooted now! Knox Still 0x0 and I know how it was supposed to be done now!

Thank you for this post also. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kibasscies:
After rooting thanks to this method, will the Knox suite be working all the same? In other words, is Knox counter "0x0" sufficient to ensure that the suite will recognize the official status of the firmware and was not affected by root?

I read that someone wrote about blocking something concerning Knox, as required by SuperSU...

We just got an OTA update here in Dubai - Its Lollipop 5.0 - PDA	N9005XXUGBOG4 CSC	N9005OJVGBOG2

View attachment 3433599

I am currently on 4.4.2 rooted using the method outlined in this thread. I also have other things like Dr.Ketan's Note 3 recording fix etc installed. I have the following questions..

1. Is there a method of updating without loosing root using PC ODIN? (not mobile odin pro)

2. Will this mean I have to re-do the recording fix etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zwarder:
I have tried this method but towelroot says phone is unsupported?

Is there any other root software which works?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] R3XNebular:
Followed OP's advice to use N9005XXUGNJ2 instead of N9005XXUGNK1.

Working fine so far. Towelroot was successfull and currently rooted. If I have to return for warranty purposes I will will flash full firmware including kernel back to original. Thanks OP

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Agnus:
Hello everybody, all posts up to now refer to Android 4.4.2 Notes, has anyone successfully done it on Lollipop ? (without Knox being tripped)

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Noobel:
Yes, but not so straight forward and not exactly on Lollipop.

You must downgrade to KitKat & use FlashFire to upgrade back to 0x0 Lollipop with root!

1. Factory reset your phone (stock Lollipop), don't set it up afterwards.

2. Flash official KitKat firmware for your model via Odin.

3. Follow OP instructions to get root.

4. Use FlashFire to upgrade to pre-rooted ROM like this one or this. You can flash the official Lollipop ROM for your device as well and root it during flash, by adding/injecting UPDATE-SuperSU-xxxxx.zip (Flash ZIP or OTA).

5. Flash corresponding Modem & Bootloader via Odin

Don't flash ROMs that come with non-stock kernel and/or recovery - you'll get 0x1.

Hi guys !

I rooted my N9005 with 4.4.2 using Towelroot and SuperSU Methode.

Now i wanted to have CWM to flash a custom ROM, i put phone in Downloadmode, Flash CWM Recovery with Odin but when i try to boot it, CWM is not booting.

Is it possible that just with Towelroot and SuperSU its not possible to flash and boot CMW?

Or is it because my Kernel is still Stock?

Would it work if i flash CF-Autoroot and after that CWM?

Hope you guys can help me

Offline Towel Root

Using the root kernel will disable the wifi so you will need to enable data or use an offline Towel Root v3. It worked for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Pointless reply to a post from 2014 .

Especially as information and firmware has changed in the last two + years since that question .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rfurb:
Excellent work !

Thank you so much for providing us with this rooting method.

I have just ran it in my device using a stock ROM XXUDGNG1 and it worked perfectly as described.

Later on after installing SuperSU 2.79 it has got to disable Knox,

while keeping its counter as 0x0.

Thanks again and please keep up the good work !

Ha all, i am on ND3 official rom. Rooted it with towelroot (thx geohotz). Now i want install the newest fw.

I must re-install the ND3 rom without root?

I can t flash the newset rom directly from nd3 rooted rom? I have not undrestood how upgrade the firmware on rooted nd3 official.

Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
Rooting will change status to Custom (but this is reversible)

Only KNOX Agent will be frozen by SuperSU, to avoid troublesome messages displayed

Just flash directly the newest firmware via PC Odin and then root it using procedure described in #1:)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] snake86:
Ok thx. If i have understood correctly this is the procedure :

from rooted nd3 , install the latest official fw with odin. The root it again and finaly flash the kernel?

I m right??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] karlonicolas:
confirmed working also on xxufnf4! rooted once again!

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

yes, from rooted nd3 -- you update (or you could install latest official fw from odin if you wish)...

from updated fw, you lose root. then you follow procedure on OP, towel root..., reflash the proper kernel.

you get back root again without tripping knox...

thanks so much TS!

Hi can some one confirm i'm fine to proceed to root with out tripping Knox ? Specs are Galaxy Note SM-N9005 Unlocked Android 4.4.2 Baseband Version N9005XXUFNF2 Build Number K0T69H.N9005XXUFNF4 ?? Please let me know thanks p.s im not interested in flashing roms, i only need root access.. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgaggia:
I've just rooted mine (same fw level as yours) following this method. Knox not tripped.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] orly_mihai:
I dont't understant why status is custom.With the other metod with mobile odin pro status is official but i remain with ND3 bootloader.If i upgrade bootloader i will lose root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] karlonicolas:
See my post above. Rooted successfully.

It was strange that afternoon flashed older kernel and used towel root, root checker said I was not rooted. But I just continued with the process and when I flashed xxufnf4 I checked again with root checker and it was successfully rooted.

I noted that binary file for supersu updated only after I installed xxufnf4. This is probably the reason why root checker initially gave a response that I was not rooted.

Having said that, I confirm that this works with xxufnf4.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] snake86:
sorry man, but there is a thing that i don't understand.

from nd3 rooted, update with OTA (or odin) at the last FW release, now flash the kernel from #1 post and root with towelroot?

there is a piece that i'm loosing...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] akism:
You can update to the latest firmware any way you want.

What you actually do is to flash an old kernel over the new firmware just to root with towelroot and then flash the correct new kernel.

You need Cygwin or Linux console:

tar -c boot.img > FILENAME.tar
md5sum -t FILENAME.tar >> FILENAME.tar
mv FILENAME.tar FILENAME.tar.md5

Or look at the discussion #22-24 - maybe you do not need to create flashable files (use XXUEND3 kernel for rooting, and then restore your DXUFNG2 kernel via Mobile Odin Pro) ;)

It has been cuccesfully tested on XXUFNF4, XXUFNG2, XXUGNG1 :D

you don't have to unroot to update. just update and your phone will lose root, if you update OTA. once in the newer firmware, follow the OP steps.

I used to have n9005XXUENC2 before I upgraded to this NF4. (n9005XXUENC2 is targeted to the nordic countries but now I have that uk? firmware, still knox 0x0.) I suppose it doesn't really matter even if the firmware area code is not the same as long as knox stays 0x0? Phone radio and all other stuff seems to be working well.

Works on N9005DXUFNG2

I can confirm it works on N9005DXUFNG2

A. Make full update via PC Odin to latest version (N9005DXUFNG2_N9005OLCFNG1_N9005DXUFNG1_HOME.tar.md5). I use XSP.

B. Update via PC Odin with #1 post Kernel XXUEND3: KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 (no problem that it is XXU, not DXU).

C. Install Towerroot, [Make it ra1n]

D. Update via PC Odin with KERNEL_N9005DXUFNG2.tar (extract boot.img of your firmware of step A. and make .tar archive, no need to be .tar.md5). Same XSP boot.img only.

E. Enjoy (SuperSU from GooglePlay will be useful) :cowboy:

Download your rom from samfirmware, extract the tar and also the big tar file inside it and get boot.img. Insert it into a new tar and burn it with Odin.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] suhaimidee:
Would flashing the firmware NG2 via Mobile Odin Pro with KERNEL section cleared over the rooted NE4/ND3 or any older version KK firmware before Samsung patched geohost exploit works without tripping Knox since the older official kernel is intact. I believe its essential to check enable everoot and inject mobile odin.

Why i ask this is if it works, it makes the rest of the user easier to flash over newer firmware in future minus the kernel that comes with. If root is kept by doing that manner, we can just flash the newer boot image or the kernel after thus skipping one step which is to flash the older nd3 or ne4 kernel, rerooted and reflash the newer kernel again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Sorry I'm a bit of topic as this is the root and save your Knox thread, anyway what I need to know installing xposed framework will that trip knox ?
