At my wits end trying to root - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the deal.
I can't get 7 zip to extract the file, the Root Vega file. When I do import the file into Odin and hit start, it does nothing. I have been messing with this for about 8 hours now.
If you have Team Viewer, and wanna do this, it will be worth a nice donation, so let's do this people PM me if your game

Need me info. Are you rooting MI9 or MJ7? Have you installed the USB drivers? Disabled anti-virus software?

Root De La Vega does not work on MJ7. Google "kingo root" to get rooted.

KingoApp will work. Beans has stated that the worry about the app was over hyped. Google for it as I am not sure we are allowed to link it.

Help Unrooting (Rooted with motochopper)

Hi Guys,
I rooted my Samsung S4 (GT-9505) using motochopper, but since discovered some of my apps don't work with a rooted device.
I would like to unroot it back to factory settings.
What do I need to do? Is it a case of downloading an official ROM and using ODIN to flash the official bios back on?
I have reset the counter with TRIANGLE but my device status is still 'custom' and not official.
Is there a simple way of removing the root that motochopper adds or is an official ROM the only way?
Im in the UK and would like to flash to the latest Vodafone ROM and unrooted as new.
Many thanks
First of all, there's no app that would stop working because of a rooted device. Rooting just gains you administrator privileges, nothing more, nothing less. And yes, the best way to unroot and get the official status back is to download and flash an official rom through Odin.

Many thanks for your reply,
Unfortunatly your wrong there, Barclays PingIt (my bank account) knows when a phone has been rooted and displays an error page saying its breaching security and stops the app from working!! Crazy I know.
You can uninstall super su then reboot the phone.
You can get instructions from the Exynos Abuse thread by chainfire. It's at the bottom.

Hello there
I found that flixster wouldn't stream ultraviolet movies with root. I did find that using voodoo ota root keeper from play store helps that. Click on temp unroot, then when you've finished using that app that doesn't allow root, restore root. Unsure that this will work for you, but no harm in trying.

UCUEMJ6 OTA. Any help requested to root.

I got a used phone. Did not check the version. It has the ucuemj6 firmware. 4.3 update. When I use the new method to root by copying the pwn and the script file to the sd card, Knox and SE kicks in and the permission is denied to the shell. I tried killing various Knox and Se Android processes.
I tried running from adb shell. Again adb is denied permission.
But nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This isn't an official version its a leaked version of mj6 the real update won't be out till 11/13/13. There's only one known method to root the device but was deemed not a safe way to root the device. I'll let you figure out the root method just READ and your answer will come.

Yes correct the bootlaoader has been locked since the mf3 firmware the previous firmware before this...safestrap is a work around that doesn't mess with the stock ROM slot and you are able to flash only 4.2.2 Roms with safestrap. Since your on the LEAKED version on 4.3 there is no other options at the moment besides rooting and the root apps like wanam xposed, xposed installer, nottach xposed. Etc. People on Verizon hasn't found anything yet about unlocking the boot loader so until the official 4.3 releases for us just check both the Verizon thread and our at&t thread.

Its not reccomended on xda but you can root the phone with VRoot but it installs a Chinese superuser into your phone. I've got it running with no problems so if you want to root it you can use the VRoot method

Easiest root method?

Hi
Iam starting to hate my note for every day.
I need to root to install ad block. No joy with all anoying ads over all. Even I use ad block plus without root it makes sites slow.
And oh my god to remove Samsung boatware( suggestions to methods or safe apps to remove?)
Devise updated to newest firmware. I guess I have no chance to root without tripping Knox? But I really don't care anymore. Any root methods that I can use without damaging the phone? As long as it works.
I appreciate any advice^^
No more Samsung Devises for me. At least never at full price.

Depends what your latest firmware is on your device as to IF you trip KNOX, tbh if you aren't fussed about a tripped KNOX and don't care (much like me and lots of others) then just use CF-AutoRoot simplest method now.
It is mj7
Thank you

If MJ7 no RDLV(KNOX safe) method (unless bootloader is MJ1-3 or so) -- So CF-AutoRoot it'll have to be. Well that's what I am aware of at least. Unless someone else chimes in with an alternative(?)

Try kingo root. Google search Kingoapp.com and takes only couple minutes.
I was trying that but it never connected and keeps saying installing driver....

Make sure any firewalls you have are disable as well as any blocking applications are too I.e. Peer block, when using Kingo.
I just realized I don't have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop is that a problem??????

Update breaks towelroot on G900F

So I saw an update for "performance improvements" (~200MB) on my rooted 900F. I unrooted and updated. No problem. Once I reboot there is a second update ~1.2MB. I installed that and rebooted, tried to run towelroot and it says device not supported. Tried a few different modstring values including the temp root and none of them work.
Moral of the story; don't update if you want to towelroot.

Hard to say, it doesn't seem much different but I've only had it installed a couple of hours and not used the phone too much yet.
I can tell you, however that it adds more bloat! There is at least one new app I noticed called "My Galaxy"
EDIT: Also, they've changed the animation for fingerprint unlock failure to some horrible alarming flashing red/white thing instead of the subtle one it was before.

A kernel patch for Towelroot was te be expected. Use CF Auto Root or wait for Geohot for an possible updated version of TR to get root again..

I'll wait. The reason I used towel root in the first place was not to trip knox.
It was just a headsup for those who might care more than I do.

i don't understand why people wants to avoid knox trip. You made the choice to root...so no more warranty, and if you got bad luck and have to repair your phone, just pay for it

Because I'm an software engineer and I know exactly what I'm doing by rooting.
Denying root with this knox and other bull***, locked bootloaders, etc, is totally unacceptable to me.
I refuse to lose warranty for some hardware fault that might occur (and I've had many issues over the years and dozens of phones) on something I own because I got "root" access.
I dare someone to tell me that I've lost warranty on my laptop because I installed CentOS, logged in as root and twiddled with my bootloader.
It's entirely and utterly a matter of principle.
Don't expect you to agree, just helping you to "understand".

I've recieved this update too, what would happen if I update without unrooting? I've deleted a few pre-installed apps, when updating, I won't have a problem with that will I?

Quite simple, when you see the ota, remove ALL changes yiu nade to system (e.g. adblock hosts file)unroot from within SuperSU, then reboot then accept the OTA.
Bare in mind if you do this, there is currently no way to root again without knox trip
