Alexander kernel is a stock kernel that has been tweaked to enhance stability.

My kernel is just the stock kernel with few tweaks for battery optimizations.

Alexander too has done some battery optimizations but I was unable to have my phones battery last more than 4 hours.

This is still my opinion. The man has done an excellent job on the OS itself.

I do not have the aroma installer for my rom and neither do I have multi csc select. My rom just comes with no csc. It just installs the OS and doesn't touch anything else.

Mine is simpler and easier to use.

Alexander made a more sophisticated rom though I have incorporated all his features while cooking my rom.

I added all the features on my own without using his rom as base.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
For all the people who don't want to downgrade then please search for pingpongroot in the forums.

I think they have incorporated the note 3 in their root method.

I am now working on Sony Xperia devices.

This is a temporary set back till note 5 is released. I will be back on Samsung devices when Note 5 comes out.

My phone is N9005...i wiped after the bootloop as you wrote in the guide (first step)...after flashing the ROOT KERNEL the phone doesn't boot anymore,neither charge...in one word,bricked.

After 30 min i pressed the power button and it started incredibly!After i re-flashed a stock rom...so...no root :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
I think ur bootloader is locked. I will also check the official bootloader version currently available
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hobit007:
Thank you very much !

Is possible then flash my Kitkat 4.4.2 once time rooted, without CSC? sorry but unknow so much things....

My CSC is PHE (Phone House España) and is a free mobile... I don't know what's the better method for don't have risk to jump knox to 0x1... perhaps the room Alexander how have multiple CSC is better for my case...

In Sammobile I don't find any stock room version 5 for CSC = PHE (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005) perhaps I have to wait come out the stock room first... what do you think?

I hate knox almost 2 years ago and still I've the same problem... and maybe if there aren't much diferents about battery gain, I must stay yet with kitkat...

Regards,

Gabry
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
I don't know,how ever pingpong for now doesn't support Note 3,the KingRoot appears to support n9005 but it stops at 52% and after says that can't root my phone...damn :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Also the battery changes are Ok I guess. My phone on power saving plus lowered cpu usage lasted 8 hours on kitkat but it lasted 2 days on lollipop. Again this can differ based on the battery itself too.

The easiest way is to check whether you have a locked bootloader by booting into the download mode and check if you have secure download mode enabled.

Try to redo the process and make sure your phone is not a customized phone by any telecom company since they add more layers of protection too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Guys don't tick ever root if you are using my rom or the Alexander devbase. We have included root in them.

If you are using your own stock rom then by all means do it. Otherwise use ours and it will be fine and make sure you don't check everroot if you are using my rom or Alexander devbase.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
Just check...it says SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Make sure when you downgrade you use the proper kitkat version for your phone specially make sure you check the region.

Sometimes the csc can brick the phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
I will now be adding a rom without csc so that everyone can install it on top of theur current kitkat rooted models :)

This should help fix the issue for anyone who has bricked their phone because of Csc.

How can i root Lollipop without downgrade with knox 0x0???
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
Good morning,i've used this stockrom N9005XXUFNG2_ITA_Android442 downloaded from samfirmware,this is italian,as i am,and is no brand.There are several roms,i choose the NG2 becouse you wrote that i need one of these root kernel (9). Stock Kernel: NF4, NG1, NG2, NH1, NI4, NJ1, NJ2, ZTFUNJ1, NK1) .
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
The root kernel is as ROOT.

Then flash back NG2 KERNEL again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
in the second part of your guide,when you wrote "2). Click AP on the ODin screen and navigate and select the file Root Kernel." ...do you mean the file named "N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip" right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
No. You must extract the zip to get a. Tar.md5 extension file and thats th one you need to flash via the AP field of Odin
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
Ok,perfect...i've done exactly what is wrote in the guide.Immediatly the flash of this root kernel the device doesn't boot...bricked.I'm not so noob to fail your great and detailed guide,but don't want to make another brick... :( there is another way to root without downgrade?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Well their is but it would require you to trip knox
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonsey:
What i've to flash is this right?! N9005_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5 ?

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Don't know if you need but i've downloaded an image (N9005-KK-debrick) for debrick de n9005...taken from this thread http://gsmpost.com/index.php?/topic/104299-n9005-boot-repair/?p=655290 ...maybe can be usefull
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
I have not tried it since I didnt need it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hobit007:
Hi Kingmak and rest guys !

I've a last good question... in the part2 say flash root kernel... but I don't understand what kind of kernel is that, I imagine is a old kernel for exploit a vulnerability and for that to be root... but in another sites I find out the same method but the root kernel use is other, "kernel stock XXUEND3" someone know explain is the same each kernel when use Towelroot? I have afraid to knox 0x1... or is OK both kernels for rooted the phone?

Sorry my English is still bad...

Thank you very much to everyone !

Gabry
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Well from my research the ND3 kernel had the exploit and you dont need to worry aboit tripping knox since that is an oem kernel. It will not trip knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mricchio:
KING, would this guide work for my situation?

Note 3 -Verizon- i lost root after upgrading to 5.0 and now im trying to gain back root so that may use my Hotspot functionality again.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Yes it should work but you will need the the Rom of lollipop for your model and sadly I have not made them.

You could try to root on Kitkat and then use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the stock lollipop rom of your model and make sure you have everroot enabled id you are using a stock non-rooted Rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] arfian:
after we've done with the guide at the OP...then if i want to install CWM recovery..will it trip knoxx to 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Any other recovery other than stock will trip knox regardless of root status.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dwl99:
Thanks for posting your guide, it has been very useful. Unfortunately I've had to abandon the rooted Polish ROM - I flashed it 3 or 4 times and each time, after a few days I started to get SD card permission errors for a wide variety of apps. I've moved over to the alexandr Devbase & this seems to be running very well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Schrotty35:
Link to CP and Bootloader File not work.

Edit: Why need so long for a update Link.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Im currently having my finals at university and hence I have been spending most of my time with books. I will update it in a few hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Schrotty35:
Can you update the both Files for N9005XXUGBOD8_DevBase_alexndr?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Yes I will but its possible after 6 hours. Im currently at my part time work and I am dead tired.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
I just got a note 3 sm-n9005 and want to root+lollipop it. I have 2 questions:

1) Is is possible to de-root whether its on KK or Lollipop?

2) I read in the one of the posts in this thread that I can update to stock Lollipop with Everroot enabled and it will remain rooted and keep Knox at 0. Is my understanding correct? I am talking about "Part 3: Upgrading to Android 5.0 Lollipop Dev Base Alexander OEA." instructions.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Yes you can unroot. Various methods are available. Even apps can do this.

You can update to stock lollipop by using the everroot option but it is abit buggy. You would have to make sure you have rooted KK and update the SU binary to the latest version and then update. This can be benefitial but it has a very low chance for success.

KINGMAK
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
Could you elaborate a bit on the methods/apps that can unroot. Also, the unroot will keep Knox at 0? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Supersu itself has an unroot feature. To my understanding yes you will have Knox at 0x0
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
I went ahead with the procedure. I skipped part 1 instructions as the rom was already KK 4.4.2 (SEE). Part 2 instruction went ok till SuperSU install. SuperSU updated the SU binary but is not able to disable Knox; its been 10 minutes but I get a spinning circle in SuperSU itself. I also get a notification from I guess Knox itself that "Unauthorized actions have been detected Tap here for more information". If I tap on it, it gives me a security notice "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorized changes" along with a cancel and restart buttons. I am choosing cancel at the moment. What should I do next?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
I have had the same issue . The system partition permissions are changed. Supersu cant do much. Hence the reason I created my rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
Ok. So you mean to say I cant root my phone? If so, how do I revert back? I was thinking of flashing the stock kernel through odin and then wipe through the stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
I decided to take the plunge and it worked. I let the phone boot once, then went into stock recovery and flashed the stock kernel. Then wiped the phone from stock recovery and booted the phone once but did not set it up. I again went into stock recovery to flash the KK 4.4.2 stock rom through Odin just to be sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Hope it worked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:
Yes, it worked. I updated to stock lollipop for SEE region from Odin as well. On first try, the flash gave an error towards the end but on startup, it upgraded to lollipop. To be on the safe side, I factory reset the phone and flashed the lollipop stock rom again from Odin. Now my Note 3 is running lollipop and I like it :) The only downside is that it is not rooted but I can live with it for now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] corsicanu:
Succesfully rooted and kept 0x0 on latest [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]'s rom..

But i need to mention that i had probably same issue as [MENTION=4145344]KhurramF[/MENTION] about disabling Knox.. So i skipped the part with rebooting to flash stock kernel (part 2, point 10) mainly because wifi was working, and proceeded to part 3 without rebooting, as security popup said that if i reboot i will revert changes made... And after, everything worked as it should/as you said.. :)

Thank you for this awesome tutorial and for all your work! This thread should become sticky.. Cheers!

Can you make a new rom based on N9005DXUGBOF1 ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
I can but I stopped working on Samsung mainly because of knox issues.

I work on Sony now.

I will check if I have some free time from my schedule to make the rom you are asking for, but no promises at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KhurramF:

Not sure if this question has been answered so I apologize, but does this method work for the AT&T Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Wado1:
me either
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] corsicanu:
Theoretically, as long as you keep stock kernel and recovery you can install any tw lollipop rom without tripping Knox. If you replace boot.img with stock one in the rom you want to flash, you keep 0x0.. Also you need to check that the rom doesn't flash any other recovery.. Knox doesn't trip with custom roms if you have Samsung Official binaries. If you succeed rooting with devbase roms you will see 0x0 with "custom" rom and Official bins.

Unfortunatelly i cannot guarantee anything and i need to mention that i am not responsable of anything, if anyone tries what i said.

I cannot test because i already have 0x1.. And btw, if you would read at least few pages back you will see that [MENTION=4925853]XxXKINGMAKXxX[/MENTION] has some exams and a part time job and he can't be that active.. Patience is the key guys. Or 0x1 :).. Cheers!

And P.S. [MENTION=4925853]XxXKINGMAKXxX[/MENTION] good luck with your exams, and keep up the good work!

hi,

i used a different guide to get 4.4.2 to 5.0 months ago. It was also with mobile odin.

Ever since then my phone keeps automatically rebooting itself several times a day.

I dont know how to fix that. Please help me.

My Phone: SM-N9005

Android: 5.0

Baseband: N9005XXUGBOA1

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-3643614

Build Number: LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOA5
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cassinni:
hi,

i updated months ago when this just came out to 5.0 with mobile odin to preserve my knox 0x0.

Ever since then my mobile phone keeps rebooting itself all the time. I never knew why.

I do not know what to do now. I was today told "Do not forget that you have to install Android 5 modem, boot loader and persist lp with odin before flash any Android 5.0 rom. "

Back then this was never mentioned in the guide i followed to update to 5.0.

My Phone: SM-N9005

Android: 5.0

Baseband: N9005XXUGBOA1

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-3643614

Build Number: LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOA5

P.S.: I do not care anymore to keep knox 0x0 since my phone is now 2 years old. I wanna keep this stock and install the best recovery (?) after I fix this

to try a different mod like cynagon or something else thats a clean android.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] corsicanu:
Download latest bootloader and modem and flash them with odin on the pc. After that make a clean install of the POF3 rom and you are good to go.. And don't forget to thank [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] for his awesome work.. :) As custom recovery, i use philz and i'm pleased with it.. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cassinni:
Before

Bootloader Version: N9005XXUENB7

PDA Version: N9005XXUGBOA5

CSC Version: N9005VFGGBOA2

Baseband Version: N9005XXUGBOA1

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-3643614

After flashing latest bootloader I got:

Bootloader Version: N9005XXUGBOA5

PDA Version: N9005XXUGBOA5

CSC Version: N9005VFGGBOA2

Baseband Version: N9005XXUGBOA1

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-3643614

I did not flash modem since its the latest version already. So the system was probably so instable because

of a wrong bootloader version?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] loady:
I followed this guide but the flash in odin failed which left my phone in an unbootable state (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue) invalid ext4 img...i followed the procedure by the letter o i dont know what went wrong, i have not rooted a phone since the first galaxy arrived!!.... i read around and decided to try try and flash CFautoroot or whatever its called, it seemd to do something and the phone proceeds to boot up but it just hangs on the samsung splash screen, not sure which way to go now, i also noticed that the knox has now tripped, can youm advise please which way i should go to remedy this, i was on official lollipop 5.0 and was trying to do the first stage of downgrading to kitket 4.4.2 so i could root, i bought this note 3 from EE in the uk and downloaded one of two stock firmwares on the sam mobile site for my phone, i chose the one with the later date. Can i get this up and running again and also reverse the knox counter trip (not sure why i should be bothered by knox)...im not to concerned about wiping the phone as i backed up any pictures on it.

Thanks.

Hi guys.

Sorry for the inactivity. I have finished my exams and was gone for an out of country work. I am back. The instructions however will not be released, since the update for Android OS 6.0 is around the corner.

We will wait for that and work with that version and see if we can make it work.

Sincerely,

I missed step 10 & 11 from part 3, and my note 3 is now officially knox 0x1. Sad dad ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
Sorry to hear that.

I recently started using my iPhone 6 plus. But now I'm back to android. Android is more of my personal favorite and hence my return.

I am now working on note 5. It is the device which I currently own. So, hopefully I can end up making a root for it with the help of the other developers and my own team.

Thank you all for your support and continuous excellent response to this thread and in helping me keep it concise and clear.

Custom Roms cannot be installed without tripping knox
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xTPTBx:
You can downgrade if the bootloader is not upgraded. Otherwise you are out of luck and will trip knox while trying to downgrade
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dr_hard9999:
As of yet that magical note 3 is 2 yrs old what's the value of tripping that damned Knox or not.

I found a sm-900 exynos labeled 4G lte on lolipop is that true because I thought it was only 3g?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MSIgs60GhostPro:
I also have this question. I will post my specs.

I am not worried about tripping Knox. I just don't want to brick my phone. I bought a second note 3 because I love my rooted MJ4 note 3.

How do you find out if your bootloader has been upgraded and whether you can downgrade or not?

Here are my stats and thread. Please advise. Thank you:

Hello.

I have searched the forums and I do not see this question. I have googled and see this answered all over the place. Some people say you can and some people say that you can't. Something about flash locked bootloader when 5.0 is installed.

I absolutely love my white note 3. I have had it for years and just replaced the charger port. I wanted another one for my business line. I can't find one that hasn't been updated because that is exactly what I want. Before I flash this one and mess it up I want to check with you guys officially.

This is what I have now and want on my second phone:

N900PVPUBMJ4

N900P.12

SM-N900P

4.3

N900PVPUBMJ4

JSS15J.N900PVPUBMJ4

I know how to flash this with odin and have done so many times. But I have always been on 4.3 and never upgraded. I just disable KNOX and rename all the update files so it leaves me alone.

This is the note 3 that I bought:

N900PVPUEOH1

N900P.12

SM-900P

N900PVPUEOH1

LRX21V.N900PVPUEOH1

SEPF_SM-N900P_5.0_0009

MDF V1.0 RELEASE 4

VPN V1.4 RELEASE 4.1

KNOX 2.3

... [ETC all the way down]

My question is this possible at all? What is the risk? What are my options? I really want to have a nicely rooted note 3 just like my old one.

If it is not possible can I root this Lolipop?

What I was going to do was just flash the note 3 I just got in ODIN like I always do with my old one, but I am afraid that I am going to brick it or its going to get stuck on the sprint logo because the bootloader can't be downgrading.

Well please let me know.

Thank you.

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/help/online-to-4-3-5-0-bought-note-3-2nd-t3347044

...

I am waiting to go to sprint to activate this phone because I am unsure that I still want it. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Update - 01

Okay I have activated it with Sprint and there is another upgrade available. I'm guessing its for 5.1. I'm not going to do anything yet until I hear from you guys. Do I have a prayer to downgrade while on 5.0 still or is it over for me and I should just upgrade to 5.1?

I mean what is the worst that can happen? I can just root the phone while on 5.0 or 5.1 and just have Lollipop rooted? I mean the worst that can happen is that I have tripped Knox 0x1 counter. That's not a big deal because its out of warranty anyway right?

hi guys i have been looking around but i cant get my phone rooted towel root nor the kingoroot but i definitely dont want to trip my knox any possible guides??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] orly_mihai:
No one care of tripping at this time.Note 3 is 4 years old.So all are out of warranty.So no problem if you trip knox.I tripped knox after few mounth from buying note 3 and no problem until now.All is good. ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nder lova:
i see but i tried the towel root n kingoroot none worked any idea on which app or software i can use ??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] orly_mihai:
Try cf auto root by chainfire.You will find on google.I use it for years.You need odin pc to flash it.Also search for a recovery also flashable by odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nder lova:
so my question is does tripping knox makes my phone vulnerable?? i do alot of mobile transaction and purchases.

the reason i wna root is due to i lost my miscellaneous files and trying to recover them, i looked for alot of apps n soft but all require root
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zainchuu:
After all of this process , can flash custom / stock based roms freely ? Without getting knox counter ? Please guide me i am new to this know thing :( i love to flash roms freely so i have no idea what to do with note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] orly_mihai:
Yes you can root and flash custom rom.I have the phone from november 2013.And flash customs from summer 2014 without problems.In the beggining i flashed more roms on one day.Now the phone works from the first day i buy it.But i love it with custom roms like note 7 port and s8 interface.And now on 2017 no matter knox is tripped because phone is old and you don't have warranty any more.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zainchuu:
You mean i can just simply root 5.0 stock and flash any rom and let the knox trip ? Right ?? Like unlimited times ? Will it cause any issue in future ?
