[Q] Rooting SM-N900V

I have just recently bought the note 3 and don't get me wrong. IT IS AN AMAZING PHONE and I think it will be better for me if it was rooted. Of course there is a lot of different model numbers and build numbers for the Note 3 like the N9000, N9002, N9005, MJ7, MJ5 etc... My build number is the SM-N900V and my build is MJE running 4.3 jelly bean. I cannot find one solution online to root a Verizon Note 3 SM-N900V MJE on the internet. I was told there was not a way to root this device but I don't know. I was also told to use Kingo but that doesn't work either. So the question, how do you root a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V MJE? Any help would be much appreciated!

Use the older versions of kingo, 1.07 I believe.
Also you can use vroot and then the latest kingo. Vroot will tell you it completed successfully....but it really doesn't, but then running the latest kingo does work.
Not my video...but I followed the instructions and this works fine.

How to unroot Note 3?

Hi,
I rooted Note 3 with towelroot recently and my knox is still 0 and would like to keep it that way. Would also like to keep all my settings and apps if possible too. I haven't flashed any roms or anything like that. Only thing I've done is grant some of my apps root access and downloaded an app that required root (which since then I've uninstalled). Now however I see a new firmware update is available for my Note 3 and would like to update to it. I'm sorta new to the Android scene, so don't know where to start to do this, so would appreciate any guidance.
Is there also anything I should do while on root before I unroot?
Thanks

@XLAAX you dont need to unroot to upgrade firmware. Use odin method to upgrade it.
You will find it on sammobile

So what will happen when I unroot using this? Will the phone be unrooted again or will it keep root? Also will knox be tripped using this method?

Hmm, I was under the impression that you need to unroot your phone to upgrade the firmware. If this isnt the case, then no real need to unroot I suppose.
What about Android L? Will I need to unroot for that? (Realise you can't predict such a thing, but has there ever been a case where you needed to unroot for an android firmware?)
EDIT: Oh and for future knowledge, how should I handle OTA updates? Should I not update that way if I'm rooted?

I dont know about towel root I used cf auto root and I upgraded to 4.4.2 after rooting.
But I am sure there is no need to unroot in any case.
Android L ia not yet been out for note 3.

Which model do you have? If Towel root doesn`t work there is only CF Auto Root atm, look here for the correct file http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. This does trip KNOX though.

S5 ROOT
I have Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900GH Base Band G900HXXU1ANE2,thx for help me

I tried to root SM-G900F international version using "1337 0 1 7380 4 0" - just hanged and didn't work though. Not comfy rooting tripping the knox so will probably leave it!

I just got the 900V (Verizon) update which caused me to lose root. I tried towelroot v3 (with the "new samsung" settings) and still says phone not supported. Anybody with a verizon phone and the new update gotten their phone to root again? If so, can you post the settings you ended up entering after clickk=ing 3 times on the welcome to towelroot v3 text?

Try to downgrade to an earlier rom with Odin and Towelroot should work again or look in the S5 Verizon forum for more tips.

I have the same issue, but how would one go about finding the launch kernel for the S5?
EDIT: spent some more time digging around on the web and I found that sammobile has all the S5 firmware you need to reflash back to stock April version.

Try going to the general Verizon thread for the S5. There are a number of posts regarding rooting your S5 (or re-rooting): http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general

Not if you untick auto reboot in Odin, so after the flash pull the battery and you wait 15 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot. Did it myself mate from NG2 to NE2

Can somebody tell me, does stay official version firmware on Phone info window and on stock CWM window (knox counter 0x0) after root with towelroot ?
Thanks forwarding on answer.

This is because your phone isn't supported by TowelRoot yet as it is a new device. But don't worry, you can definitely try the CF Auto Root.

samsung and towelroot
Hey, I'm a relatively new android user, and I'm dying to root my Samsung S5 SM G900F, but it's proving to be harder than I expected.
I tried the towelroot application but it says that my phone is not supported, even though others have seemed to do this easily. Any suggestions? I use a Mac Computer as well, which doesn't make it any easier....

I am having the same trouble with my s5 att version. it wont root even with the modstrings

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to make my root note 3 with firmware n9005xxugnh1 without increasing the counter knox? Otherwise, there is another method to increase even doing?

Yes that will trip knox.

I don't exactly know about trip knox
It's void waranty only or are there more to know about?
I have root with cf-autoroot because that was the only solution I found for my tab 4

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
