I have rooted my phone while not tripping KNOX, I am still on M17 4.3 that came with my phone. I am trying to upgrade to KitKat, as I have heard from numerous people in my area that the signal has improved dramatically for LTE and 4G.
1. How do I go about upgrading to KitKat without tripping KNOX or losing root? Is that possible at this juncture?
2. Can I upgrade to a custom Kitkat ROM while also recieving my signal upgrade? Or do I have to upgrade to an official firmware/ROM first before I recieve the better signal?
Thank you very much for the knowledge!!
Upgrading to stock 4.4 won't trip your knox but custom 4.4 will most probably do.
So should I take the Ota update or what? Will I lose root?

If you already have the ota for your carrier/device then go for it. You might loose root as this is official but you can root again after if that is the case.
Will OTA trip Knox?
device modified cannot update ota is the error I am getting. What do I do from here to update my device?

Ignore this guy. You can't go from 4.3 to 4.4 with mobile Odin as it doesn't flash bootloaders.

Ok, so Mobile Odin does not allow me to flash or update to 4.4...If I so choose can I loose root and update to Kitkat OTA?
And if I don't want to lose root, how can I update 4.3 to the latest version and what version would work for my N900T Tmobile? My signal is horrible stock. I keep hearing I can flash to the latest UK version but that doesn't seem right?

There is a guide at the link below specifically for tmobile on how to upgrade to 4.4. Maybe you can post your question there as most likely someone in the same situation as you have posted there. As far as tripping knox, as long as you flash official 4.4 firmware it will not trip. Rooting and custom recovery on 4.4 I don't know since I don't have the tmo one.

I did not only read it but i was the guy that actually suggested/asked Chainfire to add the extra feature in Mobile Odin Pro that makes it possible, and I also saw that pretty much everybody that was in that original thread and was able to read it also managed to do things right. Apparently you have not, and now you are whining around here about it without actually providing any information on what happened - were you unable to follow the procedure? Too bad for you Was it something in the procedure that could not work on YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL? That could be the only thing helpful and interesting to the other members, but I do not see any post from you with details, I only see whining with no details

I'll be getting a Note 3 today (hopefully) and I want to root and stuff, but I've got a few questions and I would really appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could answer them.
1) What is this KNOX trigger that everyone keeps talking about? How do I trigger it and what happens if I "trigger" it?
2) I'll be getting the Note 3 from Wind Mobile, which I assume will most likely be same as T-Mobile Note 3 (Could someone actually even confirm that for me?). But in the forum list, there are Note 3 forums for Sprint, At&T and T-Mobile and another forum for generic Note 3. Does that mean that the recovery/roms are not interchangeable?
3) As a followup to the last question, does this rooting method work regardless of the phone?
Thanks for the help.

if you root you trip knox so your warranty is void ,there are ways to root without tripping knox but you cant have any custom roms or cwm,twrp ,
but if you dont care about warranty you can do what you like :silly:

1) Knox is a new security feature by Samsung. The idea is simple, you mess up with system files by rooting, Samsung will know. What will happen? Nothing but make you feel annoyed.
2) Yes, is not interchangeable.
3) Read the OP of the thread carefully to know which model is supported

Safest way is root then use wanam exposed for theme. Personally I would just root and leave recovery stock to keep knox counter 0x0.

You don't flash via recovery iirc, It involves copying and replacing file system libs etc, It's a pretty clever workaround. KNOX stays 0x0.
He has gone into major detail regarding it also, I will try and dig up the thread.

Good morning guys, Please pardon my ignorance if you find anything dumb about this post, I just switched back to Android yesterday.
I want to side load 4.4.2 on my Verizon Note 3 Using Odin. I found this write up here --
http://androidcentral.us/2014/01/update-galaxy-note-3-to-android-4-2-2-kitkat/
A couple of things that concerned me were it has to be factory unlocked. "Make sure your phone is factory unlocked. It is compatible for both users". Being that it is global ready does that mean it is "unlocked"?
I know I should root but being that I just got it I want to make sure there is not anything wrong with it first etc as I heard once rooted its irreversible and Samsung would know (correct me if I am wrong).
Any follow up insight would be great thanks guy.
First question. Are you with Verizon? If yes, is the the developer edition? If no, then DO NOT FLASH THIS. The link you posted is for the international version of the note 3. Being able to use a Verizon n3 globally via adding that plan does not make it unlocked.
Also. There are a few other threads on this same exact topic.

If you were to flash that it would most likely brick your phone. Just because you root your phone doesn't mean that it's permanently rooted or that "samsung will know". It's not hard to get rid of root access either. If you have never rooted a device before I suggest you do a little research on how to root your specific device before you start. There are a lot of write ups on XDA and other sites that will provide some very helpful information. I've read countless posts of people who rooted and started messing with files that they didn't know what they were for and ended up with a paperweight for a phone, all because they didn't take the time to search and read the forums first.
Hi guys. Ive been reading a lot about this one. And i find it very imposible to do right now. I saw some thread here regarding to this one that im posting right now. So my main concern is is there a way to downgrade this kitkat into jellybean? Put aside note 3 for now. Does it work on other phones as well? Because i really dont like the new kitkat and i want to go back from 4.3. Yeah yeah i did some research regarding to this because of the new bootloader. I really hope that we can be able to downgrade.

No... Samsung give out updates, they don't expect you to downgrade.... Besides, the upgrades are supposed to add performance and remove security exploits.... Why would they allow you to go back to something that's not so well protected and possibly damage your device that then gets fixed under warranty....
Yes officially. You can't downgrade. But im asking is there a way or in the near future that we can go back to jellybean? Again lets put aside note 3 for now since it is still new. Lets think.... Note 2! For example i updated to 4.4.X as well. Can i go back to 4.2.1?
God almighty. .why would you want to. ..who wants to go backwords. ..If you do...why did you go forwards. .I loved the escort mark 2 but I sure as hell wouldn't swap my focus for one... (the only way this might not apply is with women lol):thumbup:

Mate for the 10000000th time, everyone read your question and is trying to explain that downgrading the software of a smartphone is stupid. Especially true for the Note 3, 4.3 to 4.4.
The only reason you might want to downgrade, is that you want to put CM on your device. In which case ask so. It is unlikely that you will be able to downgrade, more likely CM will get support for the new BL
Its a fair enough question to ask. I would also like a dafe way to downgrade to install things like CM. IMO its a control thing. One that I dont like. But it is what it is.

By the way. May it is possible. Not right atm but in near future. We have to get the correct fast boot access to unlock the bootloader. Then we have to flash a file called flashall. This file is already under construction by myself but it's tricky. After this file flashed successfully we are able to flash an original bootloader from former rom.
So u see its possible. Only have to wait for a dev or anybody else who can give me fast boot access.

Let's just be calm about this I agree we won't be seeing official downgranding but for one I would downgrade to 4.3. Android is all about choices and preferences that is one of the differences from ios we get to choose customize down to the bone...Why something older and propably not better some people have their reasons. Some people prefer that old chevy or challenger from a new mercedes I don't know. I for one miss lights effect from 4.3 the lockscreen effect. I was on stock rom unrooted and it had this effect then rooted upgraded to 4.4.2 poland and it didn't have it got a little disapointed. I agree that 4.4.2 is a better os and also agree that my reason for wanting to downgrade is somewhat stupid but that's the beauty of android from the start you get it exactly how you want it today in the world of android os we are made unable to downgrade tomorrow who knows? The liberty of choice in this os is getting smaller and smaller day by day...
Ok ok
Um
No

It's a permanent change to the bootloader that cannot be downgraded.
If that's hard to understand then I don't know what to tell you.

There are more reasons to downgrade. After upgrading to KitKat my phone is messed up bad. I got reboots all the time now. I never rooted, I never installed ROMS. All is plain stock. If someone would offer me a working downgrade I would even consider paying this person for it. My phone is unreliable right now.

I believe OP didn't try to ask same question a millionth time. What he tried to ask was, will there be a method to downgrade to JB? If that's the case it's very unlikely. In theory of course software changes can be reversed but sometimes it needs some hacking and I don't think anyone will think it's worth the effort.
What would happen if I allowed the at&t update to happen? I am rooted with towel root and added titanium and safestrap. that's it. Can I restore to the original AT&T rom? I am obviously on AT&T and rolling with the s5 Active.
not really impressed with the root on this particular device...Samsung will allow a ton of custom setups and I can deal with the bloatware compared to the instability of just being rooted...Ive had more call drops and stutters and blackscreens since rooting... no biggie
Just want to know if I can just apply the update or do I need to jump through hoops?

The update may comtain a patch for Towelroot so you might not be able to root after that, CF Auto Root will work but it will trip KNOX.

2- Install the SuperSU zip package from TWRP.
Done.
Is there a way without tripping knox?

If you google you wil come to cf auto root. But in the explanation it says its only for 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader. If you are on 5.0 bootloader its confusing.
So the question is still legit....you dont wanna brick your phone...or do something else wrong.
So google is not always the answer....experience from other users is more important..thats what xda is all about.
So please...think again before posting rubbish. Contribute in the way of helping. If you know how to do it....share.

Or even YouTube! We're here to help others with anything they may need however, we're not Google and we're most certainly not here to spoonfeed other users. It's not called forum.xda-spoonfeeders.com! There are plenty of threads which explain how to root 5.0 but I guess the OP's search button is broken, yeah?

No i dont get tired typing it because its true! Coming from a person with 300+ posts, i dont think you're in a position to start ranting. At the end of the day....yes, we're here to help, but we're not here to do other users work for them! They're quite capable of searching for themselves!
