[Q] How to Root N900 Exynos the Safest Way Possible? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it's N900 Exynos version. I was wondering how to root my phone in the safest way possible. I read some thread in the forum and they say that the N900 Exynos doesn't have KNOX, but in my phone there's a KNOX app. Will the KNOX not triggered if I root my phone with CF Root? Or is there another way?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks before

When I go to Download mode/Odin Mode I got:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
Does this mean I don't have KNOX and it's safe to root using CF Root?

Looks good to me only thing that might happen is system status custom
So once you root backup rom before you put cwm on

Mmm.. How do I backup my ROM without CWM or any other custom recovery? I usually back it up with Nandroid backup from CWM

Thank you so much man for the response. just one more quick question: is the binary showing official or custom on the bootloader?

Rooting SM-N900

Hello,
I want to root my note 3 which is the international exynos model.
I was reading through the forum and found out that this model doesn't have a knox counter.
So my question is, if i root the phone using CF Auto Root, will it increase my flash counter and make my system unofficial??
Thank you for the help.
yes it will
Can we return to the official status by flashing official rom?

While the status changes to "Official", the binary counter still remain at 2 or 3 or more based on number of times you flashed. From a warranty point-of-view, Samsung can still claim that you have voided warranty.

Download TriangleAway app (Chainfire's App) and execute it. You can see the binary count in there.

Yes, If your firmware is lower than MJ3 then you might still have the older bootloader that won't void warranty when you root (DON'T use cf-autoroot though). After you root your phone you can then use Mobile ODIN Pro to flash newer firmware - MJ7 - without getting the new root resistant bootloader.
Using RDLV or kingoapp won't trip warranty void so you stay on 0x0 and MOP doesn't trigger it either.

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.

[share] about knox , root and odin firmware [please read before posting]

Hey friends:
im a normal member and everything above is only sharing
So you may get upset because of this thread
but i'll make things clear, everytime i open Q&A forum i see repeated questions everywhere
so here ill put some repeated answers about those stuff above
1. knox: well when you buy a new galaxy s5 the knox state will be 0*0 , but when you root your phone, flash custom recovery,custom kernel or custom rom this will trip knox and the knox state will be 0*1 and your warrenty will be void.
P.S: flashing firmware via odin will not trip knox
- so if you want to root without tripping knox you can go to this website : http://www.towelroot.com install apk by pressing the sign.
you will be able to root your phone quick from the phone itself but only if your phone on firmware from 3rd june or less
or your phone will not be rooted, but you can also root it by chainfire method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
you can also use mobile odin to flash firmwares but be carefull to be sure about your phone model.
you can install the app from playstore or from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
P.S: firmwares can be downloaded from here : http://www.sammobile.com
i hope you Moderators understand me and dont get angry or close this thread because im only sharing and thought it will help my friends and the new forum members.
and at last im a member and i have the right to post what it usefull to xda community
hope that i helped.

to flash firmware you can use computer odin v3.09 and then extract the md5 file from the firmware zip and put it in AP in odin (and maybe different version of odin says PDA)

What about "System Status", in recovery I have a "System Status: Custom", knox 0x0 though, I'm rooted and use Xposed, what does this mean? how can I reverse it to "OFFICIAL", is this important when it comes to warranty?

AFAIK it will be fake, the only way to officially convert it to original is, uninstall root reboot and then reinstall root and SuperSU to user directory, not to system. This method worked for Roms prior to 3rd June.

Ughhhh should have know that before updating and installing SuperSU to system... So no way to revert it if ROM is posterior to 3rd June? Even flashing official ROM again without root? :crying:

Yes you can downgrade, i downgraded from NG2 to NE2 myself without problems. Just flash the NE2 rom with Odin and data factory reset afterwards. Then use TR to root again.

Yes, i only flashed the older firmware without a extra PIT file or bootloader file. Make sure to untick Auto Reboot first in Odin, after the flash pull the battery, wait for 10-20 seconds, boot into recovery and do a data factory reset and then the phone should boot normal and both the firmware and bootloader are downgraded to NE2 and KNOX remains 0x0. At least it worked for me this way and i expect it to work for others the same way

Root without increasing counter KNOX

Hi guys
A few days ago, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F model)
Now I would like to root this device
Is there any way to do this without increasing the KNOX counter?
Or should I wait for the Lollipop update?

flash the ANE2 kernel with odin3, root your device with towelroot, flash the ANG2 kernel again aaand done, your device is now rooted with knox 0x0!
thx I just love you <3
This has already been discussed and there are specific topics/guides showing exactly how to do this. There was no need to be lazy and create another topic so you could be spoon fed. We have a search button and google for a reason.
it worked but it shows custom binary
can I change it ?
