I'm 99% sure I'm picking up a pristine unrooted note 3 (vzw) on Swappa.
A few things I wanted to know...
I need my root, that is very important to me. What is the current firmware update and is it able to to rooted w/ safestrap?
If not, what it the most recent firmware that can be rooted?
I have done a bit of research of the knox "security" bs. There seems to be a few different methods to root now and keep the flash counter in check.
What is the best and most current way to go about rooting?
Thanks for the help.
It depends on what version rom is in the phone. MI9 you can just odin over a stock rooted rom and then install safe strap. MJ7 you need to use kingo to root then install ss. Neither of these options will trip the Knox counter.
Thanks. Here is a snapshot from the current build the phone is on.

I'm doing as much research as possible on the note 3. I'm coming from a note 2 on beans 22, and formerly sgs3 on beans.
I'm a beans groupie
That's MJ7. Look up kingo and you should figure out anything you need. If you get stuck on something in particular just pm me or ask here. Good luck! NOTE: Don't try to use Odin while you're on MJ7 you'll soft brick and need to flash the.. Pit file.

Hey Guys What's Up !!!!!!!
I an new so try not to bash me to hard.
I am trying to flash a custom rom to my AT&T Galaxy S 4 (SGH-I337) running Android 4.3 Baseband Version MK2
without any success at all.
I have root, I used saferoot and rootchecker says I have root as well as other apps, I also have rom manager premium v5.5.3.7. And paid for the touch option And here is where everything goes south.
No matter what I do when the phone reboots into recovery mode it boots into the standard android system recovery mode.( Manual Mode)
I see no clockwork anything.
I am dead in the water. Please Help.
The only modification other than root that I have done to the phone is change the tetherprovision.apk files with one I found out here
to reenable tethering. It worked like a champ (Sweet Thanks For That).

You would have better assistance here: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Anyways aside from addressing thread maintenance to staff, to my understanding you cannot flash a ROM for the AT&T S4 MK2 bootloader. The bootloader is locked and thus making it impossible to flash a ROM. There is however a Safestrap Recovery recovery for your device but no ROMs.
The only recovery available for MF3 and MK2 i337 is Safestrap here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
You can only flash 4.3 touchwiz roms. No AOSP or such. The number roms that you can install is also currently limited.
I have a few questions regarding my S4, I hope someone can help me out here :laugh:
1. I have the I9505XXUBMG7 (4.2.2) EE firmware installed does this have KNOX? When I go to download mode there no mention of the 0x0 or 0x1 KNOX.....I don't have those 2 extra lines that most KNOX enabled users have, does this mean I don't have a KNOX bootloader installed? If so why do I have KNOX apks installed which I cannot disable or clear the data on in Applications?
2. My phone keeps asking to install a firmware update 45.31 MB in size, I keep postponing it for the max 3hrs that it shows, is there anyway to stop this update from downloading and pestering me all the time?
3. I would like to Debrand my phone, which is the lastest debranded firmware without KNOX bootloader I can install?
4. I would also like to root my device after the above.
5. I am currently locked to EE/Orange/T-Mobile, Do I unlock 1st before playing around with root and firmware?
Can anyone give me any advice thanks.

Well I got my unlock code today, I am unlocked to all networks thanks to, mobile unlocked 3hr wait for code :good:
I`m now rooted and still on my original EE Firmware :good:
Su said it wanted to disable some KNOX apps, so I said yes and it disabled them :good:
I don't have a KNOX boot loader, but my phone was full of KNOX related apks apps etc.... Maybe this firmware version is some EE Business setup??
I have PhilZ Touch custom recovery installed :good:
I have installed Titinium backup and froze the firmware upgrade app, among other things so they don't nag at me anymore :good:
Now Im just gona have a play :highfive:
Hello, lets make this a lesion for all of us xD
Recently tried to root my device not finding any good information anywhere, maybe im verry bad at searching but i managed to find some stuff that i figured is needed for this to work, since im comming from a pretty easy device to root i figured of all the reading it's verry hard to root your device without pulling the KNOX-waranty, which i did in this case my knox waranty is void as 0x1 which should be 0x0 as it was from the begining, so while this is done already i don't really care much about the waranty xD i just want my device to be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Basicly what i did was to follow this guide: http://true-android.blogspot.se/2013/11/root-n9005xxudmj7-galaxy-note-3-sm.html
This made my warranty void: 0x1 and set in this mode:

And that's about it, i can't boot my device, its only showing me that. I would like to have a step to step guide of how i actually root my device and installing CWM 6.0.4.7 so i can install any CM11 rom. A really noob frendly guide is what im looking for. Thanks
Clear cache and factory reset from recovery mode.
Search for cf autoroot and instructions always included.
It's because Chainfire has updated the file to 4.4 while your phone is on 4.3. Just follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
And then for cwm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079. Don't use 6.0.4.7 but 6.0.4.5 instead
This is the one to use for rooting 4.3.
And as Rosli59564 posted, flash CWM 6.0.4.5.
Have been looking for a twrp file to flash with odin im on the l720t version can someone link me please?
all stock unrooted l720t
I came across this the other day but i have not tried it myself. It may be worth looking into. Its all stock and unrooted apparently. Hope this helps. I googled twrp l720t and third post down was titles Odin and twrp stock from andoid forums. I tried posting the link but since i have not reached ten posts i cannot. good luck, hope this helps

Yes, both models use the same TWRP. "jfltespr" is what is under I believe.

Hi,
I'm new to android and recently rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T Snapdragon and now I want to unroot and return to stock but I'm having trouble.
To begin, I can't access recovery mode anymore. I get a message in the top left corner of the screen that says something about "custom rom blocked". I tried to follow instructions I found on XDA on how to unroot and return to stock. I downloaded the files and used Odin to flash it, it begins to do something and then gives me an error.
What am I doing wrong or how do I fix it? I apologize if I'm not explaining this the greatest, like I said I'm new to this and don't understand it much. All I want to do is wipe the root and return to stock. All help is greatly appreciated!

If Your phone works then try this ^
If Your phone is dead then post the log from Odin.
Thanks for the help! I tried it multiple times and it says each time "uninstallation failed". Could it be the issue I'm having with the recovery image?

I don't think so, but I guess that the best thing You can do right now is to just reflash the whole phone with Odin, but since You get errors in Odin I need to see the log.
I successfully unrooted last night using these instructions and the files provided. I don't know if it'll work for you though.
Instructions: https://stockromupdate.com/how-to-flash-stock-rom-samsung-smartphone/
Files: https://stockromupdate.com/2016/08/...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935fd-6-0-1-g935fxxu1apgf/
Note: Make sure you ignore the Home_CSC file AND the Pit tab in Odin. Never touch "Pit" unless you know what you're doing. And also note that the ROM provided might not be the one developed for your country, but it should work fine.
