[Q] SM-N900, KitKat, Knox and root - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I have recently received a SM-N900 (the Exynos variant of the Galaxy Note 3) for my job. Before, I had the Galaxy S4 i9505 and I was more aware about the Qualcomm advantages and problems. So, I would like to ask you about few points related to my new GN3 :
1) I plan to flash the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware just leaked. There is any issue I can expect with Knox ?
2) Is Know already implemented in my Exynos variant ? Will it be with the KitKat update ?
3) Any counter-friendly or Knox-friendly root for the Exynos variant ?
4) What about Triangle Away ?
Thanks for your answer !

[Q] Hi, I just changed my phone to note3, and I want to root my phone.

Hi. As I said in the title, I've just changed my phone to samsung galaxy note3, but I'm not sure how to root this phone cuz I used to use a galaxy s2 before I changed my phone. ps. I live in South Korea and I'm using a Korean galaxy note3 ( sm-n900s)
The things I want to ask you guys are these
1. How do I root this?
2. Is there any custom roms that can be installed on the note3 jellybean 4.3?
3. When I root this device, does something happens to the knox warranty thing? When I searched a Korean developer forum, they said if I root this device, the knox warranty will be broken so you'll not be able to get free a/s.
4. Is the way of installing roms on note3 same as the way of galaxy s2?
5. Is it ok to install non-korean roms on my note3?
Thanks.

Of course - you'll trip KNOX 0x0 -> 0x1 and void your warranty

One piece of advice I will give you. Read until your eyes burn and you know everything that goes wrong/can go wrong and how to fix it if it does go wrong.

Go to Note 3 Android Development session, there's plenty of custom ROMs option there... Enjoy your root!

Hey Thanks for your revert.
I am using this S4 in India on Android Version 4.2.2 with SIM Unlocked. My main concern is phone should remain SIM unlocked after flashing any Lollipop Modem. But I suspect that, it would get locked after flashing latest modem. I have seen that Galaxy Tool apk has the ability to unlock the phone on Lollipop but it has been posted in the forum for Note 3. So Little bit confused whether it will work or not
So I need your help with detailed explanation how did you do that ?
Can you please provide solution step by step ?

[Q] Note 3 neo sm-n7505

Hello,
I have a question.
I have my note 3 for a couple of days. It is my first android device. (always used apple)
I Read something about a knox code. That will trip when I root my device.
Is that true, or is there a workaround?
Also, I read somewhere that KitKat was released for the note 3 neo (sm-n7505)
But no ota..
If I install the official rom of KitKat, will that also trip my knox?
I hope someone can help me with this

You don't have an international Note 3 device, you have a Neo variant which has it's own dedicated forums here.

The hardware is seemingly the same for both but the 9515 has new touch drivers which makes it currently impossible to instal things like CM or other custom ROMS and also only lets you use custom recovery without touch function.
Rooting via Towel Root and Cf-autoroot works(CF-autoroot will void your warranty while towel root doesn't)
I have tested philz touch 5 and 6(I9515 ver) on my I9515 and they are both working (no touch/buttons only. Also installing customrecovery will void your warranty)

1 - Yes you can, there are several options, back in the days I used CF-Auto-Root
2 - No, you may brick your phone if you do so.
3 - It was not possible few months ago, not sure if they found the way, but for me I prefeer Marshmallow and would not want to revert to Lolipop.
4 - Normally the higher the better, since it includes more security patchs.
