Hello,
I want to root my device and I want to keep KNOX 0x0.
I know that there is Universal Root de la Vega v0.2 thread that will keep knox 0x0 , The problem is that i don't know which firmware to choose.
There is 3 diffrent country/carrier(Singapore (SingTel). Singapore (StarHub), Singapore), with the same AP/CSC/MODEM.
AP: N9005XXUDML2
CSC: N9005OLBDMK2
MODEM: N9005XXUDMJ7
How i can know which firmware to download and use it on Universal Root de la Vega v0.2?

You cannot root and keep knox 0x0 as your phone already have the updated bootloader.

I have MJ1 rooted with the initial Vega method.
Could I use the new URDLV version 4 to get the latest version of the phones software and keep root?
Is it easy? Do I have to download a stock rom to modify?
Hi, I use note 3 n9005 with
Build Number: JSS15J N9005XXUB.M17
It's a Vodacom phone.
Pls help with rooting advice that won't trip knox
Thanx

Yes you can. 2 ways.
1) Download the whole rom and URDLV it and flash with odin
2) Download the whole rom and flash with mobile odin pro with everroot turned on.
Either way you need to download the full rom first.

That's right, but try to root it.... You now have the new bootloaders that trip when you root, and if something goes wrong forget using Kies 3 to fix as the newest firmware Malaysia has to date is MJ1, the old bootloader.... Welcome to bootloopssville, population - You....

I don't know about the branded version, but I succeeded in flashing MJ6-BTU on my french XEF phone. Root is working - Knox is 0x0.
Universal RDLV is able to create the system.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 files, but you have to include some other files from the Samsung tar.md5 file or camera and WLAN will be broken. DO NOT include the *.mbn files - DO NOT include the unmodified system.img.ext4 - this would result in Knox 0x1.

Hello do you flash a rdlv version or a non modified one?
The safest way to go up (providing you currently have nothing higher than MJ1), is to create a URDLV Firmware, to keep the old boot loader.
Then flash the modem and NON-HLOS file from the original Samsung tar file.

You flash a RDLV version, but you have to add some additional files from the Samsung firmware. At least you have to add NON-HLOS and modem, but in my case this wasn't enough, so I built a new .tar.md5 file with almost everything. The only files I didn't include were the *.mbn files. System+Cache from the RDLV tar.md5, the rest from the Samsung tar.md5 file.

You will understand how to create your UK MJ7 firmware unbranded and rooted. Don't flash a newer firmware than MJ1 to keep the old bootloader and don't use kingoapp or vroot .... They use an exploit which won't exist anymore when samsung will decide it ! You will be happy to have the old bootloader at this moment ...

Thank you, i understand that it's important tout keep the old bootloader. So my iinterrogation is about i update my mi7 directly to rdlv mj7 or i update first to mj1 and after to mj7.
Bootloader on mi7 and mj1 is the same?

Hello,
i'm not sure what you want exactly. If i understand your phone is XME and you want BTU ? So if you flash a rom from sammobile with multi-csc your phone rest on XME. You need to flash BTU exclusive one ( i think, ask for confirmation ).
But before flash you need to know if you want root after or customise, because of knox warrantly and new bootloader you can't do this is you don't do the right thing.
You can read this also :

Hey guys.
I recently got my new Note 3 (N9005, unlocked, no carrier) and upgraded it to the latest MJ7 FW. Now when I started to look for ways to root it, without triggering that KNOX counter, I couldn't find any clear info on it. Is it possible on the latest MJ7? If it is, how? Have anyone tried it?
Oh, just to make it clear - I'm aware of that "Root De La Vega" but first couldn't find working link to the scripts and second I couldn't find any info about whether it triggers the KNOX counter on MJ7 FW?
No that is not possible yet, because you are on the 'new' bootloader now, which prevents the RDLV method. I read that also kingo and vroot triggered knox. Sorry man, but for now it's better to wait for some smart developer to come up with a solution...
And going back to older FW is not an option? I mean downloading old FW from sammobile and using Odin dropping this older FW?

Downgrade isn't possible. U'll end up with boot loops if you try.
If u want root without triggering knox, then you'll have to wait until another exploit is found.

I tried kingo and vroot on my Note 3 (SM-9005, Firmware version MJ7). They both failed to root the device. But the KNOX remained 0x00, meaning that the warranty was still valid.
So, what do u mean by ' I read that also kingo and vroot triggered knox.' Does it apply to MJ7? Or did someone succeed rooting the Note 3 with Firmware version MJ7 and end with voiding the KNOX warranty (0x01)?

There is NO WAY at the moment to root MJ7 without triggering Knox... Period...
If you needed root you should've rooted it before update to MJ7 and then updated with Mobile ODIN Pro...But that ship hasn't only sailed, its been hit by an iceberg and sunk....
Thx anyway, I have to wait before new approaches are revealed since I'd like to keep the KNOX flag 0x00.

1. DO NOT LET the phone auto-update or security-update.
2. If it is a N9005 check (with *#1234# ) your AP, CP and CSC
3. If you have AP <= MJ3 then you can very likely root with Universal Root De La Vega (URDLV); you can then update to MJ7 using Mobile Odin Pro (MOP) and keep root and knox 0x0.
Search around for more details on the specific thread on URDLV and URDLV+MOP.

If you don't mind triggering knox then you have more options - CF-auto-root is supposed to be easier but IMHO once you triggered knox you should also install a custom recovery (I would suggest Chenlu's CWM or Philz CWM) so that you can also make a complete backup of your phone to the external microSD.

I tripped knox on my note. Mine was MJ3 from O2 UK. But it was beginning of URDLV. Check how people from Germany rooted their phones and did they succeeded. That is best you can do.
I got my phone insured so if there will be something wrong with it I just say it was stolen.
Before rooting check your camera and multi-touch. Some notes have those issues.

If you are on MI7 then certainly go for Universal Root De La Vega (IMHO the safest is to first use for URDLV exactly the same version that you currently have) and then do a lot of reading around here on how you can upgrade with Mobile Odin Pro while keeping root and knox 0x0 :good:
Hi,
Wondered if someone could please help, as I wish to root without tripping knox, as it's important I have secured work emails.
Just upgraded from Xperia Z, and got experience of rooting that in various ways, along with rooting other Android phones. However, been a while since I had a Samsung phone, but not had one with knox before.
Phone has come with the following firmware:
PDA: N9005XXUBMI7
Phone: N9005XXUBMI6
CSC: N9005VFGBMI1
I've done loads of reading on the subject, and appears that I can use Root de la Vega universal 0.5 without tripping knox with the above firmware.
Could someone please confirm what I believe that it's possible to root the above firmware without tripping root?
Assuming that it is possible, Vodafone have also issued the following firmware update, which I've downloaded to pc from SamMobile, but not yet installed:
N9005XXUDMJ6_N9005VFGDMJ1_VOD
Is there a way I can then flash this update, say with Odin, without tripping root?
Really appreciate any assistance thanks

In addition, do you mind me asking which version of KK you've used, as Vodafone UK haven't released this yet?
I need to retain knox 0x0
Many thanks again

It sounds like you want to stay with official Vodafone rom versions.
I didn't see any need to, so I flashed MJ7 BTU (UK) using MOP as the next step, which worked perfectly.
I flashed mk2 btu wheb that came out in the same way.
Fir kitkat, like most others, i flashed the Polish XEO NA6 official rom. Like I said kitkat flash is a little more tricky due to the extra bootloader flashing step. Personally, kitkat release isn't quite ready for prime time so samsung haven't rolled it out in more regions. There a few little quirks about it, e.g. genuine s view cover not working for all. I'd suggest waiting for the official BTU release before flashing by which time they may have ironed out the little bugs.
Good luck!

They do come sim locked. However, getting an unlock code isn't difficult. Worth calling customer services in your 1st 7 days & saying u need to use the phone abroad. Worked for me.

Yes I could try that but I was looking for a quicker and cheaper way.

Actually I was unlocked within a few mins of making the call - unlock code got texted to me. And it was free - most likely because I was within my first 7 days of a new contract.
If it's not a new contract phone, then some others have reported chainfire's region lock away to work:
