[Q] Consequences of rooting Note 3? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that if I root my Note 3, that will trip Knox. Personally I am prepared to risk that.But reading odd bits here and there I have heard mention of e-fuse?
And that this can mess up the hardware?
Is that correct? And what triggers it?

Nothing will affect your hardware, rooted my phone in the first day.
Just read root/rom threads for your device carefully and follow all instructions to avoid any hard or soft brick.

Also rooted my Note 3 the first day. Tripped knox and never looked back. I would also suggest to root using cf-autoroot via Odin mode. Just search for it in the forums. Worked for me every time. Also if you like to install custom ROM so that you can use your Note 3 to its full potential.

Use kingo root it will not trigger knox. But you cant flash a custom recovery that will trigger knox. But rooting with kingo you can still mod your phone to the fullest.

I agree with the kingo advice. I used it and it's a one click easy root. If you want recovery I'd recommend safe strap. Neither of these recommendations will trip knox

Kingo is suspect. Lots of talk about why it communicates data back to some mystery Chinese server

Install cwm recovery and flash supersu.zip in recovery and you have a rooted note3.
Any suggestions/ideas for the N9000 model? The CWM recovery is for 9005.

it is not only warranty. for people who are using the phone in persona/business scenario - KNOX is very good solution.
many companies are using iphones just because of this security issue.
and now Samsung will be able to be "corporate" supplier of devices due to KNOX.

There is a chainfire zip you have to flash after you flash the recovery through odin. Check the Android development section and there is a guide for a rooted rom. He has a link to the zip. Please read that thread first. I will not have my note 3 till the 12th so I haven't done it yet.

Just a few questions for you b0Ne83:
1) Apparently you used the N9006 application?
2) Does this trip the knox counter?
3) And, does it erase all your data after rooting?
Thanks bro!

How do I check to see if knox counter is tripped ?
I've rooted a lot of devices and this was by far the easiest. Nothing to it really. Just had to figure out how to put the note 3 in debugging mode (which you press about phone 7 times or something like that )

You shutdown your phone and hold home volume down and power till you are in download mode, hit ok which I think is vol up. It tells you. Then it shows the phonestatus.
Ok just got some new info
It does say custom under samsung
However under knox is reads "0x0"
Is that what yours reads ?

That is GREAT news that the knox counter is not tripped as Samsung and the amazing Chainfire state it is totally NOT reversible. Which means your phone's warranty is void and you won't be able to upgrade to any future official update ever again. Here's a link to a good article on it.
http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/
As for mine it reads official not custom as my phone is still stock. I'm treading lightly as you will understand if you click my link and read the short article...

That is correct. No wiping data or factory reset needed. This just gives you root permission. Super user, Titanium backup, and addaway all running smoothly.
Easy as one click
So are you saying if I use this method that if there is an OTA update....I will be unable to get the update?

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.

Yes it only voids your warranty that's all. You could of tried towelroot v3 to root by opening the app and tapping at the top where it says towelroot v3 three times then put this number in 1337 0 1 7380 4 0 but if you aren't worried about warranty CF-Autoroot works just fine.
yes I have tried with towelroot v3. First time works great but after update it doesn't work for me.
I have tap 3 times and changed also to different codes. I have read there are 3 different codes.
It does not matter if its voids warranty for now, because all works fine for me.
Is there a solution to unroot, to get warranty or can I never use my waranty because I root the tab 4 with cf-autoroot?

Once you trip knox you can't go back and undo it. Nobody has figured out a way to reset it yet.

I'm more interested in completely removing knox software, I know the related system apps to remove in TiBu and searched and deleted anything "knox" in a root-enabled browser, but I also noticed knox coming up in the build.prop, specifically the following lines:
Code:
ro.build.knox.container=
persist.sys.storage_preload=1
ro.securestorage.knox=true
ro.config.knox=1
Is it worth changing any of these lines or am I blundering my way towards bricking my device?
I wouldn't recommend for you to remove ANY lines of code that may or may not brick your device
You could always just re-flash a ROM or make a backup with TWRP

First of all, I believe, most of the people using XDA forums possess enough eyesight to view things in normal font. (and if not, there are numerous tools available to help them read or even listen to what is written). So you don't need to make your writing so big and bold that looks harsh. If you want to emphasize, you can use emoticons/smilies (that is what they are meant for). I don't want to be rude but to keep this platform clean and nice is OUR responsibility. Hope you don't mind.
As for as your problem, I think you have to flash back the stock recovery and (even the stock rom if the problem persists). Do some more research before taking any step or wait for solutions from experts. I believe guys will see your post soon
Best of luck :good:
Ohhhh hmm i understood. Waiting for reply. Thank you

Rooting or Installing Custom Recovery = Knox 0x1. There's nothing you can do about it. You cannot change it back to 0x0. It is permanent. No more warranty.
For the error you need to disable knox. Read here on how to disable knox.

As much as I know for now, the knox once tripped is impossible to recover. May be there is some hardware switch thing associated with it. Anyhow, I think it does not make much difference because knox can only be a problem if you ever want to reclaim your warranty or re-sale the device. In my case, I am 99% sure that the device is working perfect to my needs and I don't have to claim the warranty or resale it within the warranty period. So if you don't have to claim warranty and also you don't want to re-sale, tripped knox is nothing to worry about
best of luck :good:
