Anyone obtaining root after OTA MJ7 update on Verizon

Seems I am a bit late on things. I already have MJ7 and have not tried to root. I assume Root de la Vega isnt working to get/obtain root? Anyone who didnt have it before MJ7 but now has MJ7 tried to get root?

People have got root on that version that have flashed a hexed version of it, and those who have the older boot loader have maintained the Knox counter at 0x0 in the process as well.

No worries about knox. I could care less if it trips. It's not a business or corporate device. It my personal device thst staye on/with my person.
Warranty for manufacturer defects is one thing. Software related issues causing functionality issues is what we come here for.

It does work with MJ7 on VZW. I did Kingo on mine a day or so ago. Works fine. It did take several times to go through Kingo though. IDK why. Kingo never finished all the way through and said rooted. It kept getting stuck on "waiting for device". I eventually downloaded a root checker from the market and it verified root

Also, Knox was not tripped for those who care (I dont)

I just used Kingo on mine and it worked with no issues.

Doesn't trip the Knox. I did it a couple weeks ago after updating to the MJ7 and just checked for the 3rd time today, just incase. It isn't tripped and it isn't going to trip. Kingo worked like a charm, so far. I just hope there is no adverse affects down the road, like my bank account being emptied.

Type of cable used?
For those of you successful in rooting with Kingo, congrats.
Question: Are you using the stock USB 3.0 cable or a USB 2.0 cable?
I've read elsewhere that Kingo had an issue with the stock USB 3.0 cable that came with the N3

Since my N3 can use a 3.0 it is what I use all the time. I do a lot of large videos so it makes life easier with the transfers
So to answer your question I used mt 3.0 for the Kingo

I removed my gmail accounts & any apps that may hold personal information. (Just in case). Pretty much just a brand new out-of-the-box Note 3
I used Kingo 1.1.4.1785. Root process worked flawless. This version of Kingo installs SuperSU 1.65 but I updated via SafeStrap 3.65 to SuperSU 1.75.
First thing I did was run a backup of my stock using SafeStrap (Thanks Hashcode0f!) Took about 25 minutes with compression enabled. Looking forward to Rom-ing in those SS slots!

IDK if the S4 and N3 would be the exact same. Is Kingo supposed to root the S4 also?

i'm sorry, i want to ask something.
how to root galaxy s4 without tripped knox?

thanks for reply

Root
You can't root your phone I9500DXUEMJ5 without tripped knox.
In fact, there is only one solution : use Kingo root app.
But... XDA does not approve this app because it seems send data to China when you try to root your phone with this tool.
Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I wanted to say.

For people who want to root, no need to say more (if no problem with knox flag) because like it was said before : CF-Auto-Root is the best tool.

Question for anyone who can answer it correctly; would un rooting a phone (with knox tripped) and installing a fresh stock firmware then re-rooting it with this method and placing a custom rom on it would keep the knox un touched or would it still be tripped?

Once Knox is tripped, it's tripped no way to fix that.

Didn't really want to hear that but oh well. I bought my phone unlocked online so no need for any warranty, I'm pretty confident in myself to know how to fix an internal problem if I have one (or external). Thank you for the reply

custom recovery will trip knox

I also successfully rooted my tmobile M919 on 4.4.2 with towelroot. I then installed SU from chainfires site and next installed CWM from ROM manager. My knox counter is tripped, but oh well.
The thing I have noticed is that, since root, some applications that want to access the SD card are having trouble. For instance, Flipboard opens and runs ok, but there are no pictures. Kindle reading app cannot downnload my book to the device. It will sync them, but hangs when asked to download them. ESPN app would not download podcasts, UNTIL I switched the storage location from external to internal storage. (I ttried to change the Cache from external to internal in flipboard, but the application force closes everytime i try to make that switch - another indication that certain apps are having trouble with extrnal storage.
I have tried another SD card, but still no go.
Any ideas? Thanks
(also, if I were to decide to unroot, would the simplest way be to do it through SU ?

Kitkat blocked SD access so I was told. Use SD Fix to fix that, basically it opens up your SD card for write access.
Or any other SD fixer apps in play store.. You need root.

Hi, I have used 2 diferent sd fix apps from play store. They say the issue is fixed, but in reality, it is not. My kitkat is 4.4.2 and is rooted. Any other suggestion, please?

HI, did anyone manage to get towelroot to work on lollipop stock TW for s4 LTE? Mine said "device npt supported"

what is the best for root galaxy a3?

waiting for me arrivals [I ordered today] I am preparing to root immediately but I have doubts
- Some who have used cf-autoroot had problems [the phone start always in recovery]
- Towelroot and kingoroot on their sites do not speak of compatibility wth this device
- Framaroot? does it work? but did not in the list
suggest me because I'm afraid of brick just bought [and i love xposed]

Use kingoroot. No knox tripping.
Cf auto root works but trips the knox.

Would it still be possible to flash official Lollipop using Odin and knox tripped to 0x1 ? What about future versions if any should be ever released?

without root and this mod, for me, my telephone is an "half" telephone

the phone arrived, I did the whole procedure with kingoroot , rootchecker and told me that I had got the root. then a message informed me that SE Linux would reactivated to restart. restart and lose the root. knox is definitely keeping me from, how should I do?

I've had similar problem with KingRoot. Lost root after every reboot (I used SuperSume previously to replace it with SuperSu). However, sometimes root access was intact. Then i copied su binary from /system/xbin to /system/bin/.ext (yes, dot ext) and after that problem was gone.

i was tryed SuperSU app and the message is "impossible to disable knox"
i think is knox the problem.i would to try to re-root, immediatly freeze knox apps with titanium or similar, then reboot.
but with this device i very very afraid of bootlop or brick, also because we haven't a recovery for solve problems [nandroid backup save me may times with s4 mini]
tomorrow i re-try, tonight the eletric line in my city is on-off [many air conditioners busy the line!!!]

since it can be useful for other users, I notice that I was able to solve the problems. before i freeze the knox apps with uninstaller pro, then I removed manually with root explorer [uninstaller pro could not eliminate them], so I have not gone more posts by SElinux and the root is safe and full garanted. xposed ok. please not install SuperSU because was in conflict with the similar app provided by kingo
who should serve: root with kingoroot from PC > elimination knox apks> reboot
I read now that are coming to the recovery ... interesting !!!

Cf aouto root is king but if you dont like it or have problems try downloading towel root or kingroot onbthe phone or kingoroot on windows or try cyanogenmod installer.

This TWRP works only at lollipop and I use it like every day, yes all basic functions are works but some advanced(like MTP mounting and adb sideload) is not working at all.

Works kingo root for A3-FU on 4.4.4 and has it no problems?
