Yeah...
Here we go!
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7100&pcode=0#firmware
Same as last leaked ))

good that its the same coz dev has already started on it

does it raise knox number

It has KNOX, so obviously it does if you don't play by their rules.
And as suspected; no Note3 features.
For me; no thanks.
Waiting for knox-free, note3 modded ROMs.

So leak is official
Of official was leak ?

I have a rooted Note 2, so I cannot get it of course via OTA.
IS where a way to install this via mobile odin Pro?
Any thing I need to take care?

I wouldn't flash this ROM via ODIN. Some people reported installation failure and KNOX warranty void flags. Fix your Custom status with TriangleAway. Then you will be able to update over OTA, if it is already available for your provider. However, even so, I wouldn't recommend flashing this or updating. It has KNOX so you will not be able to go back if this is buggy, and you will not be able to root without loosing warranty.

Already some ppl has updated in india & reported as buttery smooth.

Can someone tell me if this update has emoji on keyboard?

Yes, it's me.
Well, I'm not sure about raising the counter since I didn't try it myself. Some people reported it. Too early to tell.
It would be logical to make it so that it doesn't raise the flag for the first time. On the other hand, Samsung isn't really logical lately.

You should be able to flash it via ODIN. The question is; will it trigger the flag...? Some people said so. I don't know and certainly won't try. I'm waiting for knox-free...

Triangle Away should fix the status. You must reastart your phone any give it few minutes. It doesn't always work, but mostly yes. There are also few settings in Triangle Away. Allow tracker to run and System modified workaround. Experiment with those. And remember to leave your phone alone for few minutes before you check the status. There is a reason for that.
It certainly works for me. I'm rooted, and get OTAs.

Thanks mate, gosh i didnt think to look into other i9505 sections. XDA information seems somewhat all over the place sometimes. I can confirm its working. Running root without any KNOX triggers.

Im sorry mate , I know only how to root the phone without triggering your knox but if you flash any custom rom, im sure that your knox will get void ?!? Like i said im still on oldbootloader and Please feel free to read more about here .

Guide me please :D (Custom rom confusion?)

Hi XDA society and devs.
So I've moved to an S4 and I've already rooted it.
Sadly, KNOX figured it out so I'm at 0x1, however, this isn't an issue, I believe KNOX is only important for warranty purposes?
But anyway, I have rooted and installed custom recovery but what I want to ask is how will I go about installing this specific rom on my I9505?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to do, my BUILD number ends in FNB8 and this rom requires NGE8, so is it safe for me to install it without that number?
Do I need to do anything extra to install this rom or can I just move it directly to my storage and install it?
On WanamLites website, it says that the modem and the bootloader for NGE8 is optional?
So does that mean, I don't need to do any ODIN flashes before and after installing this rom?
MY main question is, I have a I9505, rooted and TWRP, can I install this rom straight away?
I appreciate any help, I'm fairly new to this phone and I have done a bit of research but I'm still a little confused.
Thanks to anyone that can provide me with an explanation and perhaps a brief guide. <3
Long Live, XDA.

It does not matter what version you have on your phone (eg FNB8/NGE8), so you can ignore that completely.
The bootloader and modem are for people that still have the old bootloader installed. You don't have that because you have KNOX. So you can also ignore that part.
Just flash away.The instructions are in the first post of that thread.

I read that Wanam just updated the rom, but some people claim that it still has some bugs. Use the 2.6 version instead of the 2.7 untill everything is sorted out.

Just got the Telus sm-g900w8 - Want to be 100% sure before i root it

Hi Everyone,
I just got the sm-g900w8 model of the Samsung Galaxy S5 from TELUS (Canada)
Is this "kltecan" ? Where can i confirm that
I've had some issues with lag and wanted to give a pure stock/AOSP rom a try
I'm experienced with modding android phones but i'm new to the samsung space
Before i brick my phone, i wanted to be 100% sure that i can follow this thread with the model i'm using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699648
That will give me root and recovery
Will i need to use Odin to flash everything or can i unlock the bootloader and use fastboot/recovery
is there any benefit to TWRP over CWM? I've been using TWRP for a while and want to continue using it...
Then what AOSP rom can i try out?
I see forums for each of the american mobile providers but dont know which one in particular would be best suited for Telus and/or g900w8
Thanks!!

Just found the CF-auto-root specific to the sm-g900w8
http://download.chainfire.eu/406/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltecan-kltevl-smg900w8.zip
So:
1. boot into download mode on the s5 (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot)
2. plug it into my windows machine
3. manually install the drivers
4. open odin.exe (included in cf auto root zip)
5. select the cf-auto-root.tar.md5 file in the PDA section of odin and tell it to flash
on a successful flash, the phone should reboot automatically
let it boot up to normal android, and i should have root
to flash twrp i follow the above steps again but now select hte md5 for the twrp recovery instead
correct?

bump!!

Oh canada. How I feel for it's users. Silly variants stopping users from the main draw of android, roms and mods! If I lived there I'd buy imports

lol its just samsung and their weird hardware deployments

That's why flashing the sprint 5.0 leak is working so well for people, is it, or does that g900 not count towards the 'anything' as you claim? Its great that you want to pipe up with incorrect information and look like a jerk off in multiple threads, but you're still wrong. So quit making Canadians look like assholes, and quit giving advice that will fu(k peoples phones. Hit the search tab for once, maybe even read a thread or two, and find out what happens when you flash the wrong boot loader for the wrong device.

So from my quick google search, the 0x0 comes up after root and is some kind of warranty flag?
any way to restore it back?
EDIT: the 0x0 flag turns to a 0x1 once the phone is rooted. Some people apparently have been able to keep the 0x0 flag after using towelroot?

Once the Knox warranty bit has been tripped, there is currently no known way to reset it. There are root methods that don't trip Knox, but I've not yet actually rooted my S5, so won't advise specifics on that one. You will want to look for 'no Knox trip' or some such thing if the warranty issue concerns you.

Good to know thanks
See, this is why i made this thread!

Wait, so now i have to re-ask, but i assume that simply going to https://towelroot.com/ and downloading the APK will work for my model correct?
android 4.4.2 as well i believe
And if so, obviously i dont need to use Odin to flash the cf-auto-root anymore!
but i still need to use odin to flash TWRP
root must be done first?
Or can i flash TWRP without root?

Sorry dude I can't help with that knowledge. I haven't done it and don't want to give bad advice. I do know that towelroot is only supported up to a specific firmwares. (Example: nf1)

Flashing TWRP will trip Knox as well, if you need to keep knox 0x0 then there are threads helping you to keep it that way, but you will always be jumping through hoops to keep it that way and be some what limited to what you can do.

Use instructions step 8,
Here's a link to my folder on my google drive just use the most recent files.

You can use any ROM that is ktle. Im currently using cm 14 in the unified android thread. If you want something more stable but like cyanogenmod then go with the cm 13 in the albinoman thread. I use the smaller version of gapps like nano.

Root S5 Without Tripping Knox ??

Hi guys
As some of you know I've just bought a S5 and want to root it.
I touched on this in my last thread but thought it was way off topic and that i should start a new thread.
There's plenty of threads about this but they are either old or speak of particular models of s5 or include installing a custom firmware.
What i would like to know (i got there in the end....lol) is there a way to do a root only (without installing custom firmware or recovery) with out tripping knox?
I think I've looked everywhere but cant find any guides.
I'm in the uk and my s5 is the SM-G900F on android 4.4.2.
Also is it worth even trying to root it when 5.0 is just around the corner?

Anyone

Odin has always tripped knox.
Towelroot should work with 4.4.2. is worth a try, the worst thing that could happen is it kills the app and tells you that you've been compromised.

Thanks for the replies (I thought more people would be replying to this topic....lol)
I read that it was ok to use odin without tripping knox if you flashed an official Samsung firmware.
Ill look into towelroot again
So if it kills the app and says I've been compromised, what do I do then?

It will just try to kill the app. But if that happens, I don't know of any way to get around knox.
And this forum is where experienced people like me just come to raise my post count so I can post where the real action happens.

Because I've made a few threads on here now but I don't seem to get many replies in any of them

Yeah, just hold the power button to reboot.
The real action here happens in the Unified Development section. Lots of activity going on right now.

My phone has just took the 5.0 update so I guess I've got no chance of rooting it without tripping knox now
