Thanks for highlighting that! Did as you told and now looks like everything in order. Thanks so much.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] logy47:
Got to say thank you since now my note 3 is rooted.

Initially confused between rom and kernel as i've downloaded the roms (yes, both XXUEND3 and XXUFNF4 as i downloaded them before for other method of rooting), flashing and failed to get root for the device. Then I notice the word kernel there after carefully reading post #1.

Hope this is lesson learned for others as well.

Big thanks again to _alexndr.

Thanks man...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mihotiho:
Can confirm that this works on NEE UFNG2. Rooted without any problems and KNOX is still 0x0.

Thanks!

Hi.

Can I use Mobile Odin Pro to flashing the kernels?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
Mobile Odin Pro requires root, so you can do only step 5 of procedure with it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Hi has anyone successfully gone back to 0x0 with Knox ? or is this all speculation ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
This is not possible!

Above quote (in your post) refers to my ROM, not possibility to return from 0x1 to 0x0
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abelrhd:
Not possible if you have knox 0x1. This solution is for have knox 0x0 and want to root without knox trigger.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Oh I thought you was talking about Knox thanks for clarifying it for me..

My GNOTE 3 is not rooted yet I'm proceeding very slowly as I do NOT wanna root if my Knox gets triggered from what I've red here on xda it is possible to root with out tripping the Knox count but what else I have red is if I flash a custom Rom then Knox gets triggered is that true ? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
It depends on flashing method and the content of the ROM. If you flash it via Mobile Odin Pro AND rom do not installs custom kernel OR custom recovery - then KNOX will remain 0x0

Example: THIS custom ROM let you keep KNOX 0x0 while installing it via Mobile Odin Pro:

How could you do root if you were on NG2 ROM when you write this? I'm a little confused, because NG2 is newer than NF4. I have one N9005 with NC2 ROM, What should I do?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maremma:
is towel root that does not work with newer rom, it cannot exploit kerner to inject SU binary.

the trik is to flash OLD exploitable official kernel with odin run towelroot go back to your kernel via odin.

the only thing to consider it that you need mobile connection do do This as old kernel will temporary gray out your WI.FI connection.

Thank you !!!

Thank you !!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RaulNo1:
Thank you a lot!

I did it everything u said and it works for me.

I had official 4.3 and update on official 4.4.2 and then must root just because SDCARD wasn't sdcard anymore. Because Google in version 4.4.2 put sdcard just for pictures, video and my apps previously installed on sdcard didn't work.

After rooting I find here on XDA (thank you for search), how to make sdcard visible again like on older android platforms.

But, after all, I got 1 app don't working on rooted phones and need that app. That I put on work that app (D3GO) with RootCloak plus and now I have rooted 4.4.2 with KNOX 0x0 and all apps from sdcard working like a charm.

Only what I saw lately, just FB app don't want to open anymore. I didn't make a research why, because I don't use it a long time and now I just uninstalled it from my phone.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

hi

I would like to know

1. whether, 'Current Binary' and 'System Status' under Odin mode remains 'Official' or does it change to 'Custom' after rooting using this method.

2. whether Knox will be tripped upon receiving OTA updates or flashing the phone with stock firmware after rooting.

Hi

this should work as KERNEL_N9005XXUGNJ2.tar.md5 is there in the kernel list provided by _alexndr. Simply follow steps in post #1 and after making it rain ;) , flash using your original kernel (i.e, KERNEL_N9005XXUGNJ2.tar.md5). Kaboom, u have a rooted N9005...:)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lolox82:
Hi, it's pretty clear your tutorial but I have a couple of questions? First what happens in case of future rom update? I still keep on using Odin each time a new software will be released? And if I follow this tutorial with which knox will be set on 0 in case I put on my phone some unofficial rom this will increase the knox counter or it will be stuck at 0? Thx

Yes you have to change Kernel.

1. Install https://towelroot.com/ in phone ( open that url and click LAMBDA to download)

2. Flash >> KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 << kernel

3. Run Towelroot app and tap "let it ra1n" (after that you can remove Towelroot app)

4. Flash >> Recent kernel versions for SM-N9005 <<

5. Then chek root and install SuperSU

As you guys know there is no kernel for N9005DXUGNK1, however KERNEL_N9005DXUGNH1.tar.md5 works good, wifi works with it.

I guess I can flash the K1 kernel when it becomes available.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dwl99:
I have 4.4.2 NB4 stock ROM on my N9005. My plan is to flash stock NH2 with PC Odin, reboot then downgrade the kernel to XXUEND3 with PC Odin and root it with towelroot.

Noob with rooting

Hi guys from xda developers.

Before i start: Sorry for my english.

I'm new with rooting my Note 3.

I want to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) but i'm afraid my phone will brick.

Can someone confirm this tutorial will work for my note 3?

Here are some information about my phone:

Modelnumber: SM-N9005

Baseband-version: N9005XXUGNG1

Android Version: 4.4.2

Can i root my device savely with this tutorial?

Thanks!

I didn't realise that this was possible - is it due to the kernel not matching the baseband? Is there a way to backup & restore the IMEI?

Guys what do you mean in the step five: Download your original kernel, matched to the ROM version you are using. Flash it in the same way as in p.3:

Is the kernel version the same as your actual AP actual original version, so i just have to choose the same file number from the list?

How would one root NK1 firmware with an already-tripped KNOX 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SJGSM:
Just root it with Towelroot

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Changing kernels is only valid for keeping knox 0x0.

That is not your case so just root it and forget it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Whosat:
But OP mentioned:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dwl99:
But then he adds "Fortunately I have found a way"
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SJGSM:
Just root it with Towelroot and the XXUEND3 kernel, then flash any other kernel you want like NJ2 until you can find the NK1.

You have just tripped Knox 0x1 so rooting won't be difficult any more. There are other methods of rooting, search forum and Google it. Rooting is easy you just don't have to worry about tripping Knox any more.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dwl99:
I've flashed my n9005 with the stock NG1 rom using PC Odin and was planning on rooting it with towelroot. Someone wrote a few posts back that flashing the XXUEND3 kernel would cause me to lose my IMEI. This is scary. Is this likely to happen? If so, would it return if I flashed the NG1 kernel back?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pathfinder906:
thanks alot.. rooted without triggering knox. :)

From what I understand, the IMEI will not return as it is not stored in the ROM file

Thank you so much Alexndr. It was so easy to root my Note 3 using your suggestion. Genius to just flash custom rom with Odin, use Towelroot, then flash back to stock rom. Root is intact, and KNOX is showing 0x0. Thank you XDA developers. :D

Will this approach work on N900

Hi, sorry to interrupt this n9005 thread. But i think a lot of n900 users which are gonna be happy if they can apply the same root method to their phones.

I was thinking of downgrading to an earlier version of kitkat and then use towelroot to root it. Is this possible?

If this can be applied without tripping the knox warranty, i bet a lot of n900 users are gonna be happy.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SJGSM:
If you don't change kernel you will probably trig Knox 0x1. I am not sure but if you want Knox 0x0 just follow what most of the people did.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Why do you want to down grade kit kat if you can root it without tripping Knox?

All you have to do is Downgrade Kernel and then Root it. Just stay with that kernel if you don't want to Upgrade.

yes ota is available after towel root. yes, you will get updates and your device is still official and unmodified.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

thats up to you. after rooting, you can install mobile odin. without installing a custom recovery, you can flash a rom. You can even retain 0x0 knox if you don't flash a new kernel.

Newbie in Root

Hi all,

I am newbie in root and therefore I have a few questions to ask:

1. Will rooting wipe out or delete any of my files (apps, contact, sms, whatsapp, pictures etc) in my phone?

2. After I rooted my phone with your method, my current OS (4.4.2) will remain unchanged?

3. Do I still get official software update after I rooted my phone?

4. I read about KNOX and it is related to warranty of the phone. How should we check our current KNOX whether is 0 or 1?

The info of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 now is

Android version: 4.4.2

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
1. Root with this method does not wipe anything.

2. Pretty much unchanged. You get root permission and system status may change to custom, but it doesn't matter. You can change the status back to official with wanam. I personally don't care of system status change because it's not permanent.

3. Yes, you will get official updates but after upgrading you will have to root again.

4. Knox is related to warranty as well as knox security package. You can check the knox by booting in to download mode. (Volume down + home button + power button.)
