[Q] root for Note 3

Hi
Is there any root method for the note 3 already?
Will it set the Knox flag to 1?

Thanks.I was checking this thread already but didn't find any answer if just rooting well set the flag to 1.
Or is the only method to root so far by flashing a unrooted stock Rom?

i don't much about samsung devices but what i understand from this thread
if you change the firmware the knox can't be reset and it will be at 0x1(if i am not wrong)
about root method i haven't seen any so far

You can root, look in the Android Development section of this forum.

Rooting mja

Hello everyone and thanks for helping me out in my last post. OK so I wait and get my mja update, which by the way fixed all the bugs on the gs4. Now I am thinking I want to root but I can't find a guide online anywhere, a Lil help would be appreciated.

You haven't searched or read much. You can use CF auto root.

No I have done my research CF doesn't work with sprint gs4 Mja build

The only way to root MJA is to use CF and trip the Knox counter.

OK just a few more questions. So in the distant future will it be possible to turn knox back to 0x0 and unroot phone?

Maybe. But it doesn't matter. At this point in time, it has been confirmed that Sprint will not be denying service for devices with the Knox counter tripped.

Yep your right. Only thing I'm having trouble with now is where is my cwm to flash cyanogenmod.
I also have great news for all gs4 users who aren't rooted yet and running mja. I ran cf auto root on my pc with all anti-virus turned off and everything worked perfect, no SU or knox problems at. I was on sprint mja build.
Read up, make sure u have the right software and drivers and you should be fine.

From galaxys3man30:
Mr.kennyglass123 just got some confirmed info that sprint will repair/replace your phone with the knox counter set 0x1 so that's some positive news. I've have been able to successfully root and add a custom kernel to 4.3 without any issues and it's not as bad as it seems just people where making the mistake of trying to go back to a earlier update and with the new bootloader that just not possible right now. So, it's not that scary to do this update but I can understand where ur coming from thou buddy. I will be here to help you with it if you need me buddy I have successfully remove all of knox from the ota rom so far so it's that hard to get removed and such. Just trying to give some encouraging info buddy.

An important clarification, Sprint will do this! Samsung will NOT!!!! It is very important you understand the difference. If you are paying for Sprint TEP (Total Equipment Protection), Best Buy Protection, or even Square Trade Insurance then the Knox flag shouldn't be a problem. If you do not have any of the insurance packages and you are solely relying on the Samsung warranty for your phone than you should know that Samsung will reject any warranty claim if the Knox flag is tripped or they can tell that you rooted it. They will fix your phone for a fee.

root - mobileiron

Hey guys! So i just switched from a sprint note 3 to a verizon note 3. I NEED root but my company uses mobile iron. Is there a way to use it and keep root?
Also whats the best way to root this? All I want is root no custom recover.

haha good bc cystom recovery isn't possible atm on retail verizon note 3. seems like vroot is the only way to go right now without tripping knox but do ur research.

believe it or not I like the stock rom (this is the first phone I have ever been able to say that with)
So vroot... hmmm I shall look into it. But I still need to know about the mobile iron.

well I should have been more specific we can flash roms and some mods with safestrap (a sorta of custom bootloader workaroundl). but we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels.

Try Rootcloak to hide root from the app. Works for another MDM software similar to that.
Edit:
Use the one from xposed framework. In not sure if the one from the play store works.

Can you link me to it?

Towelroot??

Just wondering if anyone has tried the new towelroot.com on a sprint s4. I'm on the latest OTA and according to the thread it looks like it should work (kernel build date is Jan 2014). I might give it a go

please do report back! I'm currently on 4.3 and refuse to go to 4.4+ if I can't root safely without tripping Knox. I've been posting in the towelroot thread, but no one seems to know.

yeah possibly. but once you install a custom recovery you will trip knox flag. there's no way around that right now.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I havent tried it yet, but it looks like you can use towelroot to get root (to at least get xposed framework and debloat your phone) without tripping knox, but you wont be able to install a custom rom without tripping knox

Sadly, no dice. I tried it several times. It went through the motions and reboot, but never did anything to my knowledge. Installed rootchecker and it confirmed that root was not installed oh well.

Yes it works

You can now root without knox tripping.

Wasn't sure if any of you knew about this:

Basically you can now root the S5 and NOT trip knox.
Really it seems to be most phones that are 4.2.2 work.
This doesn't get you a boot loader etc. but gives root at least for those wanting to not risk warranty and get the bloat off.

Woops, didn't catch that when I looked this AM, it wasn't in this section of the forum though.
Sorry about that :/
That one is closed too though FWIW and when it was closed it was just moved here.

After the simplest root ever, how does one go about a custom recovery? Do we still have to odin that or is it flashable?

If you do custom recovery you will trip knox making this method for you to root having been useless and you should have used one of the other options that does it all at once hah.

Can you use this root method and get the hotspot mod working without a custom recovery?

I've been wondering that exact same thing! And also if we can root NE5 with it!

You can but you need to be aware that you can get stuck in a boot loop. But if you are willing to take the risk.
Download the Odex version that matches your system, this is critical. Extract the services.jar and services.odex files. Use a root explorer to copy them to /system/framework. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot and it will either work or not.
