Hello everyone. I bought a new Note 3 in China, about two weeks ago. It's the n900 international model. I didn't root it, didn't flash any mods at all, didn't even enable developer mode. About an hour ago I decided to go into download mode, just out of curiosity, to see the information displayed there, and well... my warranty bit is 1. From what I read that's the tripped knox warranty bit, but how is that even possible? Am I missing something?

I just ordered my note3 sm-n9005 on sunday (should arrive thursday). and I was wondering what the current best method to root it without invalidating warranty / tripping knox. and installing xposed?
if there isn't support for loading a third party boot loader without tripping knox, what's the best way to back up my system image?
how can I go about restoring it if i seriously mess something up?
can i do a full wipe and restore without a third party boot loader?
can i do a factory restore using external means like odin without tripping knox / invalidating my warranty?
also, does anybody happen to know why samsung abandoned the *REALLY* nice design arrangement of the menu keys being a row of capacitive touch buttons across the bottom of the phone as seen on the galaxy s, s2, original note, and original samsung galaxy tab? - i've had several of these devices (i'm currently upgrading from an original note to a note 3), and I loved the row of capacitive touch keys vs the (pretty dumb imho) physical menu key (that can be easily broken or stuck). for a key you press a billion times a day over 2+ years it occurs to me that you should have something that has minimal mechanical movement to preserve it's functionality. </rant> - but seriously, why?
I know these all sound like n00b questions, but knox threw a wrench into my understanding of how to do this right. on my note i717 i can easily flash stock and twrp via odin, use twrp to back up the system (if and whenever i'd like), and install any compatible rom i please without additional implications... I really wish that the note 3 were that flexible. (and that there were more devs working on software for note 3... I'd really like to see ubuntu touch dual booting on a phone this awesome.).
So, before the phone arrives, you have plenty of time to educate yourself. There are thousands of threads regarding this topic.
Google and XDA are your friends.
Sent from my SM-N9005
first of all do not do any ota updates if you do like i did you can not root without tripping knox..if your lucky and your note comes with an early firmware you have a chance of rooting and not tripping knox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487916
it all depends on what bootloader you have.but as far as i understand it you can not use twrp or cwm without tripping knox

I bought my device used and was informed that it has the latest ota kitkat updates per about 2 weeks ago. is root not a possibility in this case at all?
you can root if it's still 4.3 but you can not do it without tripping knox...which is the same possition i'm in..my advice is hold off doing any updates or trying to root for a few weeks ...maybe somebody will find a new exploit

is there anything that I can't do if i trigger knox (besides sending my phone to samsung's warranty service). does selinux still work properly if knox is triggered? what's the feature actually FOR (besides voiding warranty)?

I might come a little late - but you seem to be on AT&T - are you certain that N9005 is what you wanted? My feeling was that the T-Mobile version was the only other one (than AT&Ts own, which has locked bootloader, while TMo does not) that could do LTE on AT&T, but I might be wrong

yes, i'm on at&t and it's the sm-n9005 that should arrive at my door tomorrow. the n9005 literature i've read says it is lte enabled, and from what i understand is exactly the same hardware that at&t's own variant uses chip for chip. why would there be a problem... and even if it does come down to it, can't i just flash the at&t modem and be done with it?
You cannot Flash t-mobile modem on a att n9005 and vice versa. Samsung now =dictator, your freedom is slowly becoming....

You will be very surprised
First things on the N9005 - disable security updates and reject any OTA updates, then check your existing firmware. Read in this forum and specifically in the AT&T forum if you can make things work, if you want to root read about knox and warranty.
Hi all,
I am a Canadian currently in China. I went and bought the Chinese "international" Samsung Galaxy Note 3, SM-9008VZMUBNA2. I am here for an extended spring festival visit as my wife is from here. I will not be returning here until the same time next year, hence the not worried about tripping knox as the warranty will not be honoured back in Canada.
Let me start by saying that last year, I had a new N7100 that I successfully rooted and installed Paranoid Android on, thanks to XDA and chainfire i think who came up with the method I used, and am very happy with, but I just could not resist the awesomeness of the note 3 and had to have one.
I'm wondering if I can get some of your opinions on the some of the different ways to root this version. I have already seen both what looks to be really very easy (Kingo) and also what looks to be really difficult (Jedi Master). In the same vein, maybe some recommendations about what are solid, stable roms to use.
My version codes are:
AP: N9008VZMUBNA2
CP: N9008VZMUBNA2
CSC: N9008VCHBNA2
Thanks in advance and I look forward to reading your comments.

Well, my phone is rooted now, I used chainfires CP-Auto root, and my phone is very stock. Rooted, but very stock.
Now I need a recovery and a Rom. What I am after is to make my phone a regular note3 in the eyes of google play. Because my phone is a Chinese version, google play does not recognize it as a new device, so I cannot install any of my apps.
Help!
Thanks.

Hi, got the same phone here from China Mobile.
Did you root using this file from CF?
SM-N9008 (China): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-h3gzm-smn9008.zip
thx.
Hi everyone, my Exynos Note 4 (I am in Europe so it will probably be the "c" version) will be arriving tomorrow and I can't stand an unrooted device (lol) so I was wondering if anyone managed/tried to root the Exynos Note 4 without triggering KNOX (with towelroot or other "safe" root methods)?
I am asking this because as long as there are no custom ROM's available I would rather not void my warranty and as I would like to root it on the first day I won't really have time to check that I don't have any hardware problems so if I will need my warranty I would rather have it there, thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.
Actually, most of the Note-4 on the EU will be N910F with the Qualcomm chip.
Unfortunately, all root methods these days will change the warranty bit
Actually there are multiple versions of Note 4 being sold in Europe (for example in my country I have 3 friends that bought the qualcom one and got different versions, one of them being the "s" version), and as I said I bought an exynos version but I am not sure of the version as I will get the phone in a few hours but right now the exynos versions can only be bought free of carrier (at least in my country) and there are currently only 4 shops that sell the exynos version in my country and I was wondering if anyone tried towelroot (because I think that has the best chance of working and AFAIK it does not trigger KNOX) or other root exploits and managed to root without triggering it?
Hi
I recently purchased a Note 4 from a company in Australia it was a refurbished International Verizon model called an open box special was a great price at 499 but when it came I was surprised to find it was rooted and running a DongCHAU.A927 build number but was flagged as official not modified in the settings and Knox has not been tripped, its a SM-N910F but the boot loader is N910V. Its definitely not a fake but obviously not 100% official. There are also a couple of little things but they might be related to Lollipop 5.01 as below
When I click the spen button and point to the screen the air menu feature does not work, it only works when I pull the spen out
There is no link action memo icon so I cant link notes to actions
I am very happy with it but just curious about the above and I am also concerned what will happen if I receive an OTA update for example to Marshmallow will it brick or will there be issues, also if I want to put a custom rom on it will there be issues given the fact that its a 910F phone but the boot loader is 910V. There is no unusual software running when I boot into Samsung recovery or download so I'm not sure how they managed to modify it yet keep it official, also the firmware seems very genuine also the company I brought the phone off are clueless and just told me that's obviously how the international note 4 are LOL

1. Can u tell me what exacly will cost me rooting phone like not working samsung pay, is there more ? I bought phone week ago and probably I am gonna trade him next year when S8 will come out, will stock firmware fix samsung pay or any other problems?
2. If I am rooting phone I'll trip knox but can it be "untripped" by flashing stock firmware?
3. TRWP or CF root is better?
4. What I had to do in developer options?
5. I have traded phone in CEX S6 + £ = S7 (webuy.com) they gave me 2 years warranty but with tripped knox?
There is probably many threads or post about this but all of them are so messed up that I can't find out.

1.rooting will mean that samsung pay does not. OTA upgrades do not work, you will have to flash roms manually and knox will not work.
2.Knox cannot be restored once it is tripped as knox is hardware controlled not software.
3. TWRP is better as you have more future options on your phone but CF root is easier to do.
4. You do not need to do anything in developer options occasional you will be asked to enable usb debugging to grant some apps access to the phone.
5. You will have no official warranty once knox is tripped. Depending on how rigidly knox is enforced some store will still repair the phone under warranty, some will not. It is up to the shop to decide.
