(Q) Very quick and easy question about the note 3

Hey All,
I would like to pick up the Note 3 N9005 LTE this week and before I do I have 3 quick questions
1) Is the bootloader locked?
2) Can it be rooted without any issue? KNOX status issues when downgrading ?
3) Is there any word on the Note 3 Active?
Thanks

3 dont know
knox is a pain in the ass

Ok, so I got the Note 3 now, before I root and do anything to it, I need to know what will trigger that stupid KNOX counter?
Rooting = NO
Custom recovery = ?
Downgrading ROM = ?
Custom Kernel = ?
What else will trip the counter?

GODSPD said:
Rooting = NO
Custom recovery = YES
Downgrading ROM = YES
Custom Kernel = YES (To flash Kernel you need a custom recovery)
What else will trip the counter? Flashing official stock ROM lower version than current, flashing different AP/CSC combos, using Root de la Vega method on MJ3 firmware, using a specific tar file to force your N9005 out of download mode (stated on de la Vega)

basically anything that I do will trip the KNOX counter, I have a S4 and that's already tripped, got the Note 3 yesterday for a work phone and to be honest I don't really care if I void the warranty.,, So can anyone suggest a good ROM to flash, and is it possible to get 3minit working on the Note 3?

I second that thought, screw KNOX! All I want now is 3minit and BoBCat ROM

NOTE3 , rooted... now what?

I I managed to root note 3 , what now?
I didnt trigger knox ...
I m coming from HTC ONE , I love flashing roms , recoveries , etc.
the question I have is , should i purposely trigger knox by flashing recovery , or should i wait?
is everyting worth triggering knox?

as you properly know tripping knox will void warranty if like me and dont care go for it there are some good roms and mods for the n3

Yeah, I've rooted my Note 3, and got rid of some bloat. I don't want to lose SPEN by flashing a non compatible ROM, so what else can I do to make my device better?

[Q] About a SG Note3 - Knox, Rooting and ROM

Hi !
I just bought a SG Note 3 (SM-N9005 // XXUDMJ7) and i need some information. I read a lot of topic and i'm lost...
I haven't install Knox (well the Knox APK is on my phone but still asking me to install) do i have to worry about it and the 0x1 ?
Is there a way to root, install a recovery and a new rom without avoid warranty once and for all ?
Thank you so much for any answer

you can root using the Root De La Vega( go to that thread & see if you meet the requirements) but as for custom rom....its an enormous hassle without the recovery...there is a way i think...using scripts in Android Development section... but in the end...your choice really

Worry about 0x1; yes.
Root; Yes. / Recovery; Yes / Rom; Yes | Without tripping Knox?; No.
You're SOL at this point if you want to keep 0x0.

Installed latest Kitkat (Poland) .... Just want to stock root

I bought a new N9005 (Model : SM-N9005ZKEBTU ).... and Installed latest Kitkat (Poland) via ....
Now I just want to root it.... no custom rom etc, just wanna stay on stock for a few months ...
How can just root it.... where can I find the stock kernel which can make it root (Like I did in my previous phones like S2, Note, Note2 )...

Not a problem, it is easy to do. But you will trip the Knox counter. And you will not be able to return to 4.3 to avoid doing so.
AFAIK from all the posts (probably several hundred in 20 threads or more) you made a one-way decision by upgrading to kitkat.

I knw I wont be able to come back ... but sooner or later we hv to be on kitkat,,,, and I think this kitkat (poland) has no problems as long as it is stock...
Plz tell me an easy way to root it, like any kernel flashing whch make it rooted ? There r many customs roms with kitkat but I dont wanna try custom roms for few months
Basically I have a lots of data backup stored in titanium backup root (From my last Note2)..... wanna restore many apps with data from that
Also if I unroot it by flashing stock kitkat again, will it reset my knox counter?

The best way to root remains cf_autoroot, but it WILL trip your knox warranty bit.
Currently there is NO way to root KK without tripping Knox.

Root and know information

Hi, i need some guidence , i might be wrong thread to ask but please pardon me , question is how can i freely flash roms on note 3 N005 without any knox counter etc ? I mean i have no idea about knox thing and i guess it has something to do with roms flashing , and i like to try new roms so what is the exactly method to root note 3 and flash roms freely without any limit ? Kind responce will be appreciated

SEARCH gets answers .
SEE your identical post.
Basically if you start flashing roms you trip Knox and void warranty permanently .
