Seems I am a bit late on things. I already have MJ7 and have not tried to root. I assume Root de la Vega isnt working to get/obtain root? Anyone who didnt have it before MJ7 but now has MJ7 tried to get root?

People have got root on that version that have flashed a hexed version of it, and those who have the older boot loader have maintained the Knox counter at 0x0 in the process as well.

No worries about knox. I could care less if it trips. It's not a business or corporate device. It my personal device thst staye on/with my person.
Warranty for manufacturer defects is one thing. Software related issues causing functionality issues is what we come here for.

It does work with MJ7 on VZW. I did Kingo on mine a day or so ago. Works fine. It did take several times to go through Kingo though. IDK why. Kingo never finished all the way through and said rooted. It kept getting stuck on "waiting for device". I eventually downloaded a root checker from the market and it verified root
Also, Knox was not tripped for those who care (I dont)
I just used Kingo on mine and it worked with no issues.

Doesn't trip the Knox. I did it a couple weeks ago after updating to the MJ7 and just checked for the 3rd time today, just incase. It isn't tripped and it isn't going to trip. Kingo worked like a charm, so far. I just hope there is no adverse affects down the road, like my bank account being emptied.
Type of cable used?
For those of you successful in rooting with Kingo, congrats.
Question: Are you using the stock USB 3.0 cable or a USB 2.0 cable?
I've read elsewhere that Kingo had an issue with the stock USB 3.0 cable that came with the N3

Since my N3 can use a 3.0 it is what I use all the time. I do a lot of large videos so it makes life easier with the transfers
So to answer your question I used mt 3.0 for the Kingo
I removed my gmail accounts & any apps that may hold personal information. (Just in case). Pretty much just a brand new out-of-the-box Note 3
I used Kingo 1.1.4.1785. Root process worked flawless. This version of Kingo installs SuperSU 1.65 but I updated via SafeStrap 3.65 to SuperSU 1.75.
First thing I did was run a backup of my stock using SafeStrap (Thanks Hashcode0f!) Took about 25 minutes with compression enabled. Looking forward to Rom-ing in those SS slots!

Hi, I've read conflicting accounts on different forums regarding the possibility of rooting MJ7 without tripping knox. I tried the k i n g o yesterday, but it just kept giving me a notification on the phone about there being an app trying to access system files which it blocks. After this, I'm assuming the root failed, and it just keeps on rebooting my phone.

Than you have to wait till some one come with 100%working solution for mj7. Don't try different methods to root mj7 if you don't want to trip knox because you are always in danger of knox tripping by trying different methods.

Hi,
My note 3 came with ap mj7 and csc mj4.
Root de la Vega won't work without tripping Knox.
Tried to find straight info about Kingo, some report it works on MJ4/MJ7.
A lot of mentions that Kingo steals data :/
*bump*
Nothing is guaranteed safe I'm afraid. Only way to be 100% is to try it. Unless Kingo state otherwise.
what did you read about Kingo? All I read it was sending IMEI to China which was supposed to be fixed by now and that they use Public Chinese servers for data storage, like it freaking matters with all the NSA revelations. Oh and there was this guy saying his antivirus program flagged Kingo as having virus, until someone pointed out his antivirus was actually fake and virus itself. I have Kingo on my computer, doing full virus scan daily and it comes out clean. After all this is hackers web site, you got to take your chances. Some guy had MI7 and claimed Kingo tripped the flag, when it worked for many others, so I would say there are no guarantees.
Well, it seems that Kingo is Knox safe for Verizon note 3 on up to mj7.
There are lots of reports of it working, almost all on Verizon.
There is the funny 'sending IMEI to China' bit, but still.
it would be nice for this to be confirmed working for international unbranded n9005.

Indeed! Got my N9005 unbranded with MJ7 and I'm willing to try Kingo, but I'm not sure if it will trip Knox :/
EDIT:
Gave Kingo a try but no joy. These are my FW config...
Can you clarify what do you mean?
Kingo didn't work and you have no root or you have root with tripped flag?
Sorry. Kingo didn't root nor trip my Knox.
EDIT: Also, didn't root cause I cancelled before the Custom Recovery installation... So I think it'd work if I went through...

I gave up and used CF-Autoroot.
Knox 0x1 and I don't have to worry anymore :good:
Posted my FW above. Tried vRoot now but no joy again. No root, no trip, no nothing. It just fails. I can't understand because it's in chinese.
I have a N900W8 (Canadian Note 3) which is on 4.3 Jelly Bean.
It was rooted, tried to update to the OTA 4.4.2 and was denied with a "custom" error.
So I used SuperSU full unroot option, still custom system status, cannot upgrade.
I have downloaded 4.3 and 4.4.2 stock firmwares that correlate with my CSC from sam-mobile, my question:
If I use Odin 3.09 to install the 4.3 firmware again to get back to stock, will this trip Knox? Also I am assuming if it will not I would be ok to upload the 4.4.2 firmware directly after as well, via Odin 3.09?
Let me know if you can, really itching to do this, will not do it blindly however. Need an answer from another member before I go ahead.
I hate Knox so much, last Samsung phone for sure. Stuck with it now however, I had no idea about Knox, had I known I would have most likely kept the Nexus 5 I traded for this beast,

No issues, back to Official status.
I actually have major flashlighting on the left side of my screen. Only visible with white is anywhere BUT the left side of the screen (Best way I can explain it). Anyone know if Samsung will repair this?
Not interested in defective hardware, it's obvious this Note 3 is a one off and needs a new screen. Hoping Samsung is not going to deny me.
Just need to pick up my replacement HTC One on my actual plan (Bought this one straight up, HTC One I had was lost, have insurance.).
REALLY would like to know about the flash counter before I send this off. It has been rooted with Root De La Whatever it is (LOL) then unrooted via SuperSU, then I Odin'd the 4.4.2 update. There was a checkbox ticked called "F.Reset Time", is that it?
I'll look a bit before making my own thread on this one if no has a quick answer.
Thanks again, XDA never lets me down.
Hi all
I have just rooted P605 4.3 BMJ9 with TOWELROOT by Geohot, Note is rooted and Knox is 0x0. Root problem solved. It was released today for S5. According to Geohot, it should work for several android phones. I have not tested it on 4.4.2 but it's likely to work. I will use Mobile Odin pro to update firmware to 4.4.2 and then flash bootloader separately just in case.
PS: I was on 4.4.2 NEE but downgraded to 4.3 NEE and then back to my region BMJ9 BTU.
Here is the xda thread:

Edit: Towelroot works on 4.4.2 NEE. Rooted and Knox 0x0.
I just rooted my SM-605V on Android 4.4.2 using this method and it works great.

It has many new updates like the pattern lock and simplified method of transfer of data from our phone to the knox containers.

Rest even I have never noticed the version no. Just many UI changes from knox 1.0 to 2.0.
Plus Even samsung calls it 2.0. It was stated on the samsung's website that it knew about towel root exploiting the linux kernel and it shall resolve this in an update.
Rest idk what that update was. I clearly remember samsung calling it knox 2.0 upgrade update.

Brilliant, thanks. I've been on xxugne8 4.4.2 build date May 21st since I got this phone in the uk about 2 weeks ago but can't find it listed on sam, perhaps I just had an early update? I guess no way to root without typing knox on post-june kernels as towelroot now @google :/

Well maybe. Because samsung was keen on stopping towelroot anyhow. They patched the linux kernels.
You can read samsungs take on towelroot on www.samsungknox.com

Why unroot again and again if you have to flash a stock rom?
Just flash a stock rom and youre unrooted
But remember. Knox 2.0 wont let you use towelroot.

ok, so:
upgrade to 4.4.2 with Odin will update it without tripping KNOX, just no to upgrade KNOX to 2.0 when receive this update, and the towelroot will work.
If necessary, for warranty reasons, re-install 4.4.2 with Odin will unroot it and have stock ROM as brand new.
Correct?
