Great Work and Clear Steps....

Hi _Alexndr,

Thank you for this method of root without tripping KNOX.

I have few doubts. Read both this and your ROM.. Pls do clear my doubts.

1. Using this method doesnot trigger KNOX. after rooting, CAN I install CUSTOM recovery? if so will it trigger knox?

2. How to make a NANDROID backup in this situation, if I cannot install custom recovery.

3. After rooting, I flash your ROM which doesnot has KNOX through mobile odin pro. Then can i install custom recovery so that KNOX doesn't get changed?

and LAST my Build number is KOT49H.N9005DXUGNH1 and Baseband version is N9005DXUGNH1 can i try this method to root?

Thank you for the Support.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] njackson-uk:
Thank you! I've not rooted my Samsung Note 3 since I bought it (used to flash my htc desire and nexus 4 loads before the note3) as I didn't want to trip the knox counter!

Just saying that it's worked fine and I'm now able to write to the external SD card, which functionality had been removed since the 4.4.2 patch (I wouldn't have installed it if I'd had known!)

My phone was the XXUGNG1 version.

Thanks again!

After a small search i found that one step is missing from the first post (or is standard and i dint know it ) to connect Odin with phone needs to turn the phone at download mode ( close it and then push together home button + volume down )!! Works like a charm then and with knox 0x0 at latest firmware ( NH1 )

Question

Is it possible to downgrade Note 3 N9005 from XXUGNG1 to XXUEND3 (PDA).

Have anybody tried it?

Can somebody please confirm, whether it is possible or not?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] razvanultra:
Why do you want to downgrade? XXUEND3 It's more better at 3g signal?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] amk19:
HI,

I want to downgrade bcoz after upgrading I am facing issues with my signal and their is no hide apps option in TouchWiz launcher,

Before downloading and trying it, I just want to confirm, whether it's possible or not.

I bought Note 3 with firmware N9005XXUEND3 , UAE (XSI) region. Later upgraded to N9005XXUGNG1 , BTU region. Now i want to downgrade back to ND3.

Please help.

Thanks.

Note 4.4.2 FNF4

Root stopped working suddenly after few days of enabling hidden root in superSU.

SuperSU says there is no SU binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need to manually re-root and consult the relevant forums for your device!

Can anyone help me? I noticed that my baseband has changed from FNF4 to FNF2
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NixyYumi:
Hi im on knox 0x1 already after i install custom recovery how can i update my baseband to ng1 or should i stay to fnf4? Is there a way to update via OTA?

CWM recovery

What will happen if I install CWM recovery after I root with Towelroot ?

Will I trip Knox counter ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] LauCass:
Yes, it will trip Knox counter if you install a recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] elektroda:
Could I use this method to upgrade from AP/CP:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005XXUDMJ4 firmware to latest KiteKat without tripping knox counter and have root access?

I can update firmware via auto update but I'm not sure if I can gain root access later?

Any hints, thanks?

what's up to all android brothers in this useful thread. f+++ iPhone!!! and here is the question, - I've read the whole thread I think but if there is any chance anyone knows how to root N9005 without pc, plz let me know. no chance for me to use pc since I'm on the buisiness trip. no noob, no silly questions, just point me into the right direction. thanx.

Hi all,

[Galaxy Note 3 General] d4rkchocolate:
_alexndr

Thanks so much for this, i was very sceptical but now i'm finally rooted on xxugng1 without triggering the Knox.......... So my question is what happens now? I,E a new software update becomes available do i update and i lose my root privileges ? or would i just wait until it becomes on here........ OR do i update, and then follow the procedure all over again as in #1
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
I personally wouldn't update before waiting some else to test it first. You never know what the new update will bring. I suppose Samsung could make it impossible to downgrade kernel without tripping knox.(?)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] d4rkchocolate:
Thanks so much for the reply much appreciated.........ive just made a huge mistake since my last post......silly me, i accidently deleted Magazine apk instead of just freezing it...... now my touchwiz stops working when i press the home button, my emails are interupted..... i need to obviously reflash the original rom.......... is this possible without tripping my current knox 0-0 im on the xxugng1

cheers

jay
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
Yes, you can re-flash it without a problem. You just have to root again unless you would install a prerooted custom rom.

Other option would be to install just the Magazine.apk - if you can find it. I have removed it as well but I'm using nova launcher so I don't have any problems with it.

There are some knox 0x0 custom roms available. With mobile odin you can install MultiX as an example. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2776887
[Galaxy Note 3 General] d4rkchocolate:
thats brill thank you...... funny enough after all the factory reset etc etc i still have the root privileges on my note 3 since the process i made of this very first page... i have now intalled the mobile odin..........that magazine apk will not install on my phone for some strange reason it just says not done all the time....... i wouldnt mind using another launcher, however it has effected nova and also yahoo aviator......because whenever i press the home button it crashes, and also the emails crash too.... so the only option i have is to flash the factory rom........ youve been great... thank you for your kind advice........... is there a place you could point me to which has the original rom so i can start again without triggering my knox 0-0 or would N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip work aswell??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
Here is a link where you can download original firmwares: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

You need to use pc Odin to install them. alexndr's dev base would probably install with MOP, but I don't know if it has the original kernel or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] d4rkchocolate:
last question......if i were to use odin on pc and flash original rom......... would 1) will still keep my 0-0 knox privilages? and 2) would i need to use triange away of some sort of just flash the original rom and thats it??

thansk

jason
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
If you use original firmware from sammobile you will keep your knox status as 0x0. You don't need to do anything before flashing original rom with Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] d4rkchocolate:
Awsome thanks for helping me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mom4ence:

Updated to NH1

Hi,

my status:

- received via internet purchasing a Greek version EUR with MI7

- Done RdlV and have root and Knox 0x0

- Updated to MJ7 with MO

- Updated to ND3 updating the bootloader win PC-Odin and MO

- Updated to newest NH1 for EUR simply using MO, no need to update the bootloader,

Knox 0x0. Maybe it helps.

What I have seen in NH1 against ND3 as quite interesting for me, but for shure there are a few more things under the hood:

- Some new fonts

- Some new daemons, don't remember anymore

- Some Samsung bloat Kids stuff, frozen

- Wifi and phone seem to have better connection

- for speed, have not seen a difference

- for battery, have not seen a difference

- The camera has a nice new function "virtual tour"

[Galaxy Note 3 General] girlsetsifre:
I came from vodafone XFV NC2 rooted via towelroot then upgraded to unbranded asian XTC NF4 via MOP (now I have my preferred csc). I checked for OTA and there is this 97mb update (NH1). Since my boothloader was still NC2, I intentionally update via OTA so everything will be NH1 and yes I loose root access after upgrade. So I followed [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] method, downgrade my kernel to ND3 via pc odin but I haven't paid attention if my kernel version was changed. I re-installed towelroot and then opened wifi (although it's already stated that wifi will not work after kernel downgrade) and it doesn't connect so I long press wifi and surprised that it detects my home wifi network, I just re-entered my password and tried towelroot to make it rain and success with a message requiring for reboot so I reboot. After reboot I immediately open SupperSU and yes it requires updating the binary and then reboot again. I was unsure if everything are working fine so I flashed NH1 kernel via MOP with wipe dalvik cache, as of now I don't have any issues and I could say its working just as fine. My status remains official, knox 0x0 and the coolest thing is I regain root access on the latest firmware. :victory:

Soooo if i understand this right i can root my note 3 again without knox changing to 0x1?

edit: just went ahead and tried to follow this tutorial. It works pretty good i guess.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Annunneo:
Once you have knox 0x1 there is no way to reset back to 0x0.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DryTaste:
I am aware of that, but i wasn't asking if i could reset my knox to 0x0. I was asking if i could root it without tipping knox, but i just went ahead and tried it. Works like a charm!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatrixDJ96:
I resolved myself. Thanks for no help
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DryTaste:
Well, its pretty much described in the OP. And you can find it very easy with a simple google search, no need to be rude.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatrixDJ96:
I asked for help but none answered me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DryTaste:
Maybe nobody that saw your post knew the answer, or didn't see your post because someone else asked something. You should also consider the fact that poeple do not HAVE to help you, its not like they get paid or something.

The fix is pretty straight forward and if you couldn't figure it out on your own i don't think that rooting your phone is a good idea, but hey i won't stop you. To clarify things; just flash a official firmware for your device via odin (AP) from sammobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatrixDJ96:
You don't understand my question but I repeat, I solved myself.. and I'm not a newbie in xda so I learn that some people ignore questions of help. I also know that people does not HAVE to help me, but it would be better to answer. Thanks for all
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DryTaste:
I understood your question, and its nice that you solved it yourself. But i think that instead of saying "Thanks for nothing" you could've told us your solution for future reference, if everyone did that XDA would be a better place. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
Totally agree with that! :)

Personally I do not care about status, so I never tried to "fight it". But if you share your solution here - maybe next time more people (including me) will be able to help someone else with similar problem :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatrixDJ96:
Wait...

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

I bought my note 3 days ago... I saw that my kernel (no firmware update) was the ...D3 that permit root so I did it immediately. All works fine and system said it was a official status. After I did update firmare (ota) and root didn't work anymore. After I check that status under system became custom.. so I flashed old kernel, reroot and reupdate kernel. Installed xposed, download wanam and set option to make system official, downloaded triangle away and enabled periodic system modified, downloaded titanium backup and re-enabled syscope service. Rebooted and all works fine with in download mod knox 0x0 and all official and also in settings, info, system status.

GNG1 user here, I downgraded to the N9005XXUEND3 via ODIN - once I got the green pass I tried V3 Towelroot and there it stays just hanging indefinitely. Wireless is indeed greyed out and I have mobile connection enabled to let Towel Root do it's job (one slight complication is my indoor signal strength is poor but I have tried going into the yard and then pressing it all to no avail)

Once I go back to GNG1 Towelroot goes back to saying not supported but at least it's visibly working, compared to the hanging. Any ideas please?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatrixDJ96:
What? On old kernel you towel root v3, tap make it rain, reflash new kernel and install supersu.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sbee:
Did that but towelroot just hangs and then eventually says not responding.

i already used this method with success, but had to return the phone to service company for a new battery so i cleaned up my device and unrooted my phone and all. now i wanted to do the same and it doesn't work. after i'm on ND3 kernel i launch towelroot with data on and it says my device should have root, but it doesn't. i tried root checker and it says i don't have root and no root apps work as well of course.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?

P.S.: i am having another issue now but i don't think it's got anything to do with the kernel. my play store downloads are stuck. i tried rebooting several times and still nothing helps. any app i try to download get's stuck at the same percentage.... but i don't think it's a kernel issue. i noticed it just after i tried to root the device.

Any advise?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _alexndr:
You have used Kernel from N9005XXUFNG2, but your original kernel is N9005DXUFNG2

The easiest way - extract your ROM (*.tar.md5 file) using 7zip, and then flash boot.img via Mobile Odin Pro (load boot.img as KERNEL)
