Hi there! I recently got my Note 3 and i want to root it! I'm always been rooting my devices. But i've never had a Samsung before.. and i read about Triangle Flasher, Odin and the new thing Knox? I want to root my Note 3, what disadvantages do i get by that? It's a European SM-N9005! How can i root it in a safe way? Do i need Knox? And what happens if i trigger the knox limit and the triangle flasher limit?

If you trigger knox, your warranty is void. Nothing else happens. The warranty can't be recovered by unrooting your device again. Therefore it is important to keep Knox untriggered, if you want to be able to use ur warranty in the future. You can root without triggering knox, but you have to be VERY careful when you root. You have to pick a root method that doesn't trigger Knox. And even then you can't install a custom rom, otherwise knox will get triggered. There is a possibility that knox will get figured out and we can do everything without worrying but no one knows for now.
I haven't heard about the triangle flasher limit yet. What is it and what does it do?

If knox is triggered? Yeah, sure. It's just about your warranty.

Chainfire said something about that samsung knox firmware will be unavalable to update.. but knox is in every update?

And warranty depends on carrier and retailer? like hardware damage! And then knox won't be a problem

You are safe to root if you DON'T CARE about your warranty, yes.

There should be an app called Knox somewhere. I'm on a European Note 3, sorry. I know nothing about US carriers.

While it has disabled OTA, it doesn't mean you can't flash the newest software. You will always be able to download the latest firmware and flash it.

It says enforcing sepf_sph-l720_4.3_0010
So you're on MJA or MK2

Then he probably has knox bootloader.

I used mudavos method to upgrade to mja without the bootloader. But I ran into problems, so Im trying to check what Ive done. The phone works fine. I went into download mode to check if I tripped the knox counter but I couldn't tell because the letters were too small Im old. This is my wifes phone so Im trying to check this when she is not paying attention. I already lost all of her text messages so shes convinced I broke the phone.
If you dont have the bootloader then only only thing you could do is use odin to either mdc, mdl, or mf9 and start from scratch again. You will lose every data so its the only way to get it properly fixed again.

I have the official Samsung 4.3 update now. Mk2. I did not know it wasn't rootable with cf autoroot a few months ago and my knox counter is at 0x1. Would my phone brick if I updated to 4.4.2?
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Simple answer is no it will brick brick. I was on 0x1 mk2 and took the OTA.

Now my wifi isn't working because my phones security won't allow it?

No your wifi is not working because you didnt update properly to nae. Just odin back nae and you would be fine.

Hi !
It's pretty simple, you just have to install Kingo Android Root and follow instructions !
It's not really a tutorial but it's for everyone who are searching for the solution to make it more visible
If Kingo stay on "Connecting to your device" or something else, just restart the process.
Where can I find kingo android root?

Does it work on MKC? Does it trip Knox flag? Thanks.

Has anyone had experience using this when upgrading through ota? Does it work? If so does it trip knox? I'm wanting to upgrade to latest BTU firmware but keep my root from towelroot and my knox at 0x0.
Thanks in advance
