Note 3 DCNO Prod Test Help - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I have this phone and the info attached to the imei DCNO Prod Test phone. It has the following build listed N900VVREBMJ5 test-keys. I checked for root access with a app and it didn't have root access. I tried to root with odin3 root_de_la etc and it came up with an error and was basically soft bricked. Was able to reload the pit file and eventually get it working again. I clearly don't know what I'm doing and bought this phone online and have learned very little since last night. It loads up with the custom logo etc etc. I'm looking load a regular stock rom onto or just a custom one, but no matter what I do I get an error.. Can anybody help.. thanks

Use kingo root.... Google it. It works on all of the builds for n900v.

as stated on the general tab, the most important thing is to check if secureboot is enabled first!!! Turn phone off, turn on holding power, home, volume down and check to see if it say secureboot enabled. If it says disabled you might be famous

[Q] Rooting w/Kingo App Question

Please forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere. I could not locate it. Anyways, I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with the latest software...Android 4.3, build MJE. My goal is to hopefully root the device and then install SS to add a ROM. Previously I have the Galaxy S3, which was running a custom ROM. I had no problems with my S3. Since the boot loader of the Note 3 is locked, it's not as easy to do. I keep reading about using Kingo but I'm not sure if it will actually will work with this phone. Has anybody out there successfully rooted their phone with Kingo? Please respond if you have. I have a free day and would love to spend it customizing my phone.
Thanks!

Yes. It was really not difficult although it took me a few tries to successfully get SS working. Although Kingo kept saying I was rooted, SS said I was not rooted and it did not have SU access. I just removed SS and SU and un-rooted and tried again. The 3rd time it just worked. In hindsight I think I was having a problem with the cable, that came with the phone, maintaining a USB connection.
Rooting w/Kingo
Hi,
I went ahead to gave it a shot. First I made sure my anti-virus was disabled then I started Kingo and following the onscreen prompts. I automatically downloaded needed drivers. It then told me to re-connect my phone. I did and within a couple of minutes I get "ROOT Failed Not Support". I tried it two more times with the same result.
Any suggestions on my next step cuz I'm out of ideas.
Thanks!
I used it successfully last night, but on MJ7, not MJE.
I didn't read very carefully and had my phone in download/Odin mode.
Kingo recognizes that and attempted exploits against the bootloader - which failed.
So I booted the phone (with ADB / USB debugging on), and Kingo automatically recognized that and succeeded.
Just mentioning in case that's what is going on.
I've used it twice now, most recently about 12 hours ago. Haven't had a problem doing it. Worked first try both times. Normally booted with USB debugging enabled, connected and ran the program. Windows 8.1 laptop. Verizon GN3 fresh odin of MJE and am now rooted with SS installed and running Beans B6 on the stock slot.
Did you get this situated OP? We would love to help get you up and running so you can customize away.
Rooting w/Kingo
There must be some special trick to get Kingo to work properly. I did disable my anti-virus on my computer. I forgot that I have an anti-virus program on my phone as well. Should I disable that also? Is there some special way that I need to install my drivers? I'm really lost right now.
Thanks, for any help.

Kingo should install the drivers for you. As far as the anti virus on your phone that could be a problem. I've never tried when I wasn't bare bones stock before I installed anything. Are you adverse to doing a factory reset and trying from scratch, I mean thats what you are doing after you root anyways right?, or are you wanting root to use titanium or whatever to backup everything before you use SafeStrap?
I would reboot everything, disable both Anti-Virus, make sure USB debugging is enabled and run Kingo again. You may have to run as administrator. Keep watching during the process and your phone will prompt you to allow USB debugging for your computer and then it will prompt you again to allow unknown source installs and then after the reboot the phone will prompt one more time for root right to finalize the process.
I was able to root with Kingo on the latest built MJE. It worked for me on the first try. Try another computer if you can.
Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the Custom text with the padlock from the splash screen?

I tried that but it didn't work. I rooted while on the official MJE with Kingo. I installed SafeStrap recovery and I'm running CleanRom. It's no big deal but it would be nice to be able to get rid of it.

Just as a note for people using this method. I tried it it told me it failed but it actually worked. I don't understand the reasoning behind it but all I know is that it worked. Way easier than de LA Vega. Which used to be easy. Lol. I still prefer Odin and CF auto root. But kingo works

You made sure to install/activate Xposed framework, then reboot, then activate the Wanam Module and reboot again? Just asking because I've never had it not work for me and I've done it a dozen times or more between the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 and now the Verizon Galaxy Note 3.

MJE TAR File - Question
Hello again:
I'm alittle confused about the need to Oden the MJE Tar file. I am already at MJE (from Verizon) and wonder why I would need to install this? I am Jelly Beans Build 6 installed and it appears to be working just fine. I also have HyperDrive installed and it appears to be working "ok" so far but time will tell. I did have a problem getting my phone to connect to my car via bluetooth but will try this again when I go out this morning.
Thanks!

If you're already running MJE no need to reflash it in Odin. The Odin step isvfor those still on Mi9 or Mj7.

Difficulties with towelroot...

Hi,
I'm completely new to the root world...
I tried to install towelroot V2 on my Galaxy Note 3 which runs the Kernel 3.4.0-636608.
I rooted it, root checker said all ok, but after installing SuperSU, updating binaries and rebooting the device, root checker says it's not rooted...
Now it's worst, Wifi is turning 100% even when turned off, and sometimes the screen of my phone stays black, even if I push the buttons, in that case I need to remove the battery and to reboot the phone...
Any solution ?
Again I'm a newbie, I don't even know how to restore the phone or to do a reset, so please help me...
Thanks in advance

Hi.
To reset yr phone, turn off yr device first.
Then, press and hold power button, home button and volume up button at the same time.
In a few seconds, u will see a recovery options.
In there, scroll down using volume down button and click factory reset/wipe data using the power button.
Then, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.
Once u done all that, reboot yr device.
U may need to towelroot yr device again if it lost root.
Hope this will help u..
Cheers..

Thank you very much for your answer.
Do you think there is any solution to avoid this freeze that happen instead of clear all the datas ? Because I didn't save my phone, and I don't even know how to save everything so that I just have to plug it back to my computer to restore everything (I am a former user of an iPhone...)

Since u are new to android, let's do the hard way...
Another thing is, after u installed SuperSU, have u allowed root checker to gain permission from SuperSU?
There are few members complained of wifi 100% in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783954&page=23.
For me, I don't have this problem so far.

Nope, any application never asked me for SuperSU permission, not even adblock...
But Root checker was saying that the check appeared to be very slow...
How about saving all the datas ?
u have to let SuperSU grant permission on all root apps, mate.
if not, the rooted apps will not work..
saving datas??

Unable to root
Hi~
I'm new to rooting too. SM-N9005 running on 4.4.2 & kernel 3.4.0-1703205 here. Tried to root my note 3 with towelroot V2 but failed. After pushing the "make it ra1n" button, it says "you should have root, no reboot required." However I checked with rootchecker app from playstore, and it says that I do not have root access. Therefore I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help me with.
1) Is rootchecker app from playstore reliable & accurate in telling whether or not a device has root access? Or are there other ways to check whether a device is rooted?
2) Does having root access means you can download any paid apps for free?
3) After rooting my note 3, can I update from 4.4.2 onwards? What will happen if I were to update my rooted device?
4) Does having Aptoide & apps downloaded through it hinder or affect the rooting process?
Please help and Thank you.

Hi.
are u using the newest and latest firmware update? I'm not sure whether it will work with towelroot v2. AFAIK, towelroot will work for firmwares before June release. need to read up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783954&page=23
1) rootchecker app is reliable as lots of people used it. there should have other apps on playstore to check for root.
2) no, paid apps is paid apps. rooting yr device means u are able to "get inside or hack yr phone's system" and u can make adjustments or "mods" to system files (for developer level).
3) u can update new firmwares, but u will lose root and towelroot may not be able to support unless geohort (towelroot dev) updates it.
4) u can install any app u like, it will not hinder yr rooted device.
Cheers..
Hi~
Thanks a lot for your reply & helpful answers! Anyway after granting access of rootchecker from superSU, it says I do have root access. However I can't tell the difference... hahaha. So lets assume my device is rooted, may I know how can I delete all those useless & space consuming built-in apps of my note 3 during purchase?

I have used " Root checker basic " by Joeykrim. " this device does not have proper root access".
I have been reading loads of thread's but can't find anyone else who is having the same issue.

If it doesn't work again try reflashing the NC4 stock tar via odin and trying the towelroot process again. The SU binaries not being up to date should have no effect on whether you are actually rooted or not.

Kingroot on top of My KNOX, Working Great! !

I was concerned about Security with Kingroot so decided to try this. I'm on a RETAIL Verizon Note 4 running 4.4.4.
I did a factory restore then after setup, I DISABLED SDM, THEN I installed My KNOX from the Play Store and set it up .
Then I rooted with Kingroot on the "Personal" side.
It worked. Root is, On Demand, temporary, And I think it is safer than using Kingroot without Knox.
I went into recovery to check but no Knox trip. I win!. I have two environments. One rooted the other as secure as you can get.
This is like having a dual boot on the fly. With this root you can at least use Adaway. You can get a lot done with it. This is the best root solution for the Retail Verizon Note 4. I am hoping to get developers interested.
O.K.,This is where I'm at. If someone could look at the pictures and tell me what I should add to the OP description, I'll do it. Look at the last two pictures, Knox would not let me take the screen shots because of security.
Check Out MOST ASKED QUESTIONS and Fixes in the next post.
MOST ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What phone is this for? Retail Verizon Note 4. This may also work on other un-rooted phones
2. What ROM are you on? 4.4.4 found HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...w-to-roll-to-kk-4-4-4-lollipop-5-0-1-t3097054
3. How did you set up your google account? I set my personal side up with a "burner" email and the Knox side with the email I use every day.
4. How do you disable SDM? I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...---------------------------------------------
5.Where do you get My Knox" The Play Store.
6. Where did you get Kingroot? http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
7. What order do you install the software? Restore 4.4.4/Set up Google account./disable SDM/setup My Knox/Kingroot on personal side/=enjoy..... .......Note: this is not for use with SuperSUME.
8. Is root permanent? Some of the modification made when rooted are permanent but this Root is On Demand, temporary And I think this root method is safer than using Kingroot without Knox.
9. What about reboots. If a App ask to reboot first try not rebooting some changes will take effect without a reboot. If you have to reboot use a soft-reboot like SimpleReboot. You will almost always lose root with a hard reboot.
10. For an added security measure I am going to use the "Personal" root side as a playground and reboot before I open the My Knox Security side. Just to throw off any would be hackers.
Fixes
1. I found a fix for AdAway, Inside Kingroot under Root Authorization for AdAway select allow and then on the first run of AdAway when ask if you want to reboot, check: Never / then No = Problem solved .....yes
The same procedure may work for other apps. For some reason Adaway starts working without a reboot. You will need to clear and restart your browser.
Calm down, these things take time. First when you reboot allow your phone to settle down, a minute or two. Don't open anything. FIRST, Open and run kingroot. Once root is established run Adaway like I said. It probably will work the first time but if it fails just try again. It seem that once Kingroot gets to the point where it is not asked for permission, the reboots go away and it becomes more stable.
2. O.K., KNOX disables USB debugging, but I was able to uninstall Knox at the Playstore /Re-enable USB debugging/ then use gatesjunior's debolater app to remove SDM/ then install Knox /then root with Kingroot and it is working great again. I did try to put Super-Sume Pro on top but it would NOT work. I think Super-Sume Pro removes Knox. So I had to start over but I got it working great. If you need to use USB debugging for anything now we have to uninstall Knox. I'm still testing now.

I have two separate Google play store account on two separate partitions .
Can you get it to work with SuperSuMe Pro.
All this time we have been disabling Knox and actually My Knox is your friend.
I purchased Super SU me pro but haven't tried anything yet. Interestingly my company's MobileIron administrator app still takes effect with My Knox so until I see more progress I'm going to avoid moving forward. MobileIron has root detection and when I first set it up using Gate's debloater to disable any system apps caused it to lock me out of my email. Perhaps once we have root perfected I might be able to find a way to bypass all of that...

I think that as long as the Knox's partition is locked nothing can get in are out. I still don't like being dependent on a China App, For over the internet root every time I want root. Our goal of rooting the Retail Note 4 permanently is achievable. I have seen the unlock icon and the Custom on my boot screen at times.

Sometime I see the unlock icon and the word Custom, when the phone reboots unexpectedly, when some app ask for root.

And once I did a hard reboot, it had a normal boot screen and the phone stayed rooted without Kingroot after a Hard Boot.

custom boot screen simply means you attempted or modified something (root) can cause it..
im sure even on a temp root it would show custom for a reboot or two.

They are not random reboots, it happens when a app ask for root. Like when AdAway ask for permission instead of granting permission it just reboots. I retry AdAway again and the next time when it ask for permission it is granted then I have to manually soft reboot. XDA is a lot better without commercials trust me. :silly:

I meant when AdAway disables the commercials it is worth the trouble. But yes most of the time the root results are temporary . But once you get it set up your good to go and it is worth the trouble until your battery dies

Samsung s4 att sgh 337 UNROOT FAILED IN ODIN??

I am using an old samsung galaxy s4 that my grandma bought from a pawn shop. It was rooted when she bought it. I want to unroot the phone because I really have no interest/experience in having a rooted phone, and one of the apps I use frequently is Snapchat and I can't log into Snapchat when my phone is rooted for some reason? So I looked up a tutorial on how to unroot using Odin and it seemed fairly simple so I tried it and I keep getting a red "failed!" in the box. Am I missing a step? am I doing something wrong? I don't understand. I am new to this I have no experience rooting phones what so ever and I'm scared I'm going to mess it up but it's been fine all 3 times I've tried, it just keeps failing. Please help me. I mean I don't absolutely need to have snapchat so if there's no way I can unroot it successfully I'll just give up, but it would be nice to be able to use it again.

Having root is like having administrator rights on Windows, it does not harm your phone or anything unless you do something like flash a file that is not made for it. Snapchat probably just needs to be uninstalled then reinstalled.
Anyway...
There are 2 ways to unroot. The first method is to download the superSU app from the Google play store. SuperSU is a root management app and has an unroot option built into it. The next method is using ODIN like you are using, however you have to find the right ODIN stock .tar file for the bootloader you're on (or a compatible .tar that lets you downgrade like NB1). Once you have the right .tar file, just flash over what you have and it should get you back to 100% stock without root.

Okay, so I downloaded SuperSU and did the unroot option. It loaded for a few minutes, then the app closed, I rebooted my phone and SuperSU was gone. I really don't know how to tell if it's still rooted or not? but I think it is because snapchat STILL won't let me login. in order to tell if it was still rooted or not I redownloaded SuperSU (bc Idk any other way of knowing if it's rooted or not) and now when I open the app it gives me an alert saying "root undetected" and the only option it gives me is "how to root" and I can't do anything on the app. Thanks for the help.

No problem, always glad to help. You can check to see if your phone is still rooted by getting the app called "root checker" from the Google play store. Since you did the unroot via superSU and it disappeared, I am guessing you're now unrooted. However, you should go download root checker to be sure.
