Hi All,
I am currently using galaxy note 2 the international version one. Recently i had updated to 4.3 and now i am unable to root my phone due to knox being installed. Is there any way by which i can root my mobile bypassing the knox.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 as a birthday gift and I was using an iPhone 5 before this.
I have a few questions which I would like to ask as a complete noob on Samsung and Android...
1) I wanted to know about rooting....if I root my Note 3, I read that the warranty becomes void but is there any way to root it without losing warranty?
2) I am currently running Android 4.3 Jellybean, is there anyway to update it to Kitkat as until now my country did not get the kitkat update? I am currently living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
3) Will there be an S5 Camera app for the note 3 as I hate the default camera app on my note 3 and would like to get a better default camera app?
Thanks

I can only reply to one question.
To update your firmware goto sammobile.com download the proper firmware on your computer.
Use odin to flash it to your device.
Search xda for detailed info.

All of these questions could have been answred with some reading but anyways...
1. On 4.3 it is possible to root without tripping knox. On 4.4.2 it isn't.
Edit- Here searched a little for you and found a way to upgrade to 4.4.2 with root and not trip knox binary counter.. Knew it was there but didn't know how since I rooted and tripped knox 5 mins after getting the phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49935779&postcount=488
2. Read the return to stock guided linked in my sig, follow it to upgrade to 4.4.2
3. There are some s5 apps that have been ported to note 3 in the themes and apps section, check it out

1) You can root without tripping Knox ( loose warranty ) provided that the last 3 digit of your phone's firmware is MJ3 or below ( few people though post that MJ4 can be rooted using Kingoapp without tripping Knox but can't be sure about that ).
2) It can be updated to Kitkat using non-carrier specific firmware
3) Check the Themes And Apps section for an S5 camera.

Hey Khizar,
Thanks mate for helping me out. I want to first upgrade my device to 4.4.2 and then root it to install the Samsung Galaxy S5 Camera App along with some other phone camera app (if possible)...don't care about warranty that much but it would be nice if it was possible to still keep the warranty if needed in the future and install these apps....
Anyways I was reading the thread from your signature and something about Bootloader being locked was mentioned if updated from JB to KK...what does that mean?
I have more questions as I am such a big noob as this is my first time using an Android Phone but first I want to upgrade it to Kitkat

Hey hey_joe,
thanks for the reply mate...from where do I get the non-carrier specific firmware for my note 3..

You should also be aware that there is no way to reinstall any 4.3 firmware after you've flashed 4.4.2 (Kitkat).

Hi guys,
I am a newbie. I need help on my GN3 N9005ZHUENB5. I want to root it, install custom recovery and custom ROMS. However, I am not sure what method I should use.
Did anybody had the same firmware that I have who SUCCESSFULLY rooted their GN3? what method did you use?
additional help is highly appreciated.

Thank you for replying. before I update it to kitkat the firmware was AP: N9005ZHUDMK1. Ive googled the firmware and I saw a website that gives a "tutorial on how to root n9005zhuenb5 using cf auto root". and I red the tutorial.
QUESTION, do in need to install samsung kies? and remove SD card and sim before rooting my GN3?
I just want to make sure. Sorry for all this queries.
please do give me some tips before rooting. thanks.

Unfortunately YES..
Hello Galaxy S4 users.
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 Black Edition.
After going through all Knox and warranty related posts I was not able to make up my mind to root.
So I called up the Samsung Customer Care for clarifying my doubt's.
The representative cleared that Knox has nothing to do with warranty(at least on India) and even if the counter increases to 1 warranty will not be lost.
Only if device status is unofficial then only we loose warranty and flashing stock firmware through Odin resets it to official(telling through personal experience with Tab 3 on 4.2.2)
I have no intention of using Knox and so want to root it.
Yet I would like to know if there is any method to root 4.4.2 without increasing the counter.
Thanks in advance.

You can use 'towelroot' by geohot for rooting 4.4.2 firmware without tripping KNOX.

The firmware installed on your S4 is not compatible yet.. what version do you have?
NC1

You can try to ask on the official towelroot thread if anyone has successfully got it working on that firmware.. or instead, you can email geohot for help

Just an update. I was able to root N9005DXUGNH1 firmware without tripping knox using _alxndr method which means towel root did work. My problem now is my wifi, Sammobile has not released DXUGNH1 firmware yet on their website which means i wont be able to download its kernel to fix my wifi issue(tried DXUFNG2 at the moment) My question is that can I downgrade to DXUFNG2 firmware since I believe both would have the same bootloader I guess or wait till Sammobile uploads DXUGNH1 on their website which I dont know how long will they take to do so. I currently only have 3gb data plan so I would wish to fix this wifi issue more quickly as possible. Would really appreciate your Ideas. Thanks
Hey Everyone
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model SM-N910.
I just rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root. It did trip knox the device.
I haven't installed a new rom, and I'm just running Nova launcher and a couple of modules with exposed installer.
Yesterday there was a Samsung OTA which I wanted to download, but it failed as soon as it was trying to reboot the phone....
My Question is.. Its it possible to update the original software on my device without ruining the root access?
Kind regard
NIkolaj
You have to update through odin & cannot update through mobile.Also you have to re-root
