(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

[Q] a bit confused with stock 4.3 i9505. can i custom it???

hi. i have a 9505 running 4.3 stock rom (yes i have the knox during the update, thanks sCamsung for not letting me know, *****es)
i know i can root 4.5 stock. my rom is MKF.
but what comes after root, im not too sure about some things
i dont care about knox 0x0 or 0x1
my questions is :
-how can i install a custom recovery without ending with a brick ? which one is appropriate ? remember i got stock knoxed 4.3
-can i install a custom rom after flashing recovery ? which one is appropriate?
maybe this kind of questions has been answered 10000 times with old 4.2 roms. but for stock 4.3 i didnt see much things about it and want to be sure before trying to flash.

[Q] can use knox after tripping knox ?

Hello everyone. ive been searching these forums for quite a while and can safely conclude that theres no way for me (ATM) to root my note 3 without tripping knox.
i have a N9005 running the NC2 firmware, on 4.4.2
now i want to know is, if i flash a custom recovery and firmware ONLY, without flashing a custom ROM, can i still use KNOX (the app) ?
all i really want is root access, im quite happy with the ROM and performance ATM.
very sorry if this has been asked already, i couldnt find anything about it
thanks everyone

Any attempt to modify/temper the phone should render the Knox invalid thus Knox 0x1 as a flag that no Knox security warranty can be established on such devices.
Rooting is considered an attempt to modify the system.

So simple answer is No....
You root you can't use Knox app...

[Q] First time note user need help

hello guys, im new to this forum.and first time user of note 3, i have couple of questions regarding installing new firmwares and rooting.
i had S3 before this and installing new firmware was not a problem and roooting as well no problem at all, i know when rooting it increases flash count, i want to know what will happen if i root note 3 using auto cf root? i heard about KNOX what will happen if it gets triggered?
anyway to install new stock firmware and root without touching knox or increasing its flash count?
kindly help.
thanks.

Use search next time..
Knox is build in in the last generation of Samsungs phone. if you flash something custom, the Knox warranty will be void.
Which means;
No Warranty, and there is no going back if you voided it. If you don't want this you might want to check the root de la vega.

Yet everything works like it should when the Knox is void. you just don't have warranty.

thread cleaned.
Also this:

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 .
