Should I update to 4.4.2 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have n9005 rooted so I think I wont get OTA update. Should I update to 4.4.2 and download firmware from sammobile is that reliable?
I dont know my phone is locked version or not.
On my galaxy s4 when I updated by odin I felt the phone became little slow.
I dont know should I do it on my note 3 or not
What do you guys on xda suggest?

I updated my phone to kit kat the same day that i got it, i havent noticed any slow downs at all, the only thing that i regret is that i update without thinking about a downgrade, so i whould sugest you to update using a firmware without a locked booloader.

Unless you have a specific model of Note 3 (N900W) the KK bootloader won't allow you to go back to JB.
If you have an N9005 I wouldn't recommend flashing N900W firmware as bricking can be upsetting...

Yes, but you can't go back to JB once you upgrade to KK...
Go to Sammobile.com to find out if your region has it. If not you can upgrade to another region's KK, just avoid carrier roms as they require a pit file to flash too...

1. Mine never has.
2. At Sammobile it says - UK (Vodafone) - this is a carrier rom.
If it says UK then its a generic stock rom...
You will have to re-root after update but make sure its the KK cf-autoroot (if you use that).
As you are rooted I'm assuming you have Knox warranty void at 0x1.
If not do a search on how to update to KK using Mobile ODIN, that way you can retain root but still have Knox at 0x0...

[Q] ODIN flashing older rom.

Hey guys so i have heard that if i install the old firmware for my s4 from sammobile using Odin one from early 2013 that it will give me access to service menu so that i can unlock my phone. So my question is that is it 100% safe to Odin flash the older 4.2.2 rom when i am on 4.3? Can i flash it unlock my phone then upgrade my phone to a custom rom again? Thank you

Do not do this. This will brick your phone. If I am not mistaken, there is a method to unlock mk2 in the general section.

You should ask this in the t mobile s4 forum. I believe your bootloader is unlocked and you can flash an older firmware version. But check there first. This is the att s4 forum. It can't be done on the at&t s4.
Is the service menu missing on the stock T-mo 4.3 ?
Nooo guys i have an unlocked bootloader i have the s4 that is very similar to the tmobile and it's the same as the Canadian versions. And yes the Canadian version which is 1337m and mine which is m919v don't have access to service menus but i have flashed a lot of custom roms simply by philz recovery so doesn't that mean i have an unlocked bootloader?

If you're on 4.3 I believe you also have Knox, in which case I don't think you'll be able to go back to 4.2.2. Read through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40903040

Did you ever take the ota to 4.3? Do you know what firmware your device is on? A 4.3 custom Rom wouldn't have knox but if you took the official update to 4.3 you would have Knox.

Idk, I'm not that familiar with your device. From the little bit of reading I've done I would say no, you can't flash an older firmware. But again, I'd post this question in the t mobile forum. They'd be more familiar with your device.

Did you ever update you device with kies or ever take an over the air update ? It's fine if you were on a stock based 4.3 rom as long as you never took an official update. If so then you can't go back. Just flashing a stock 4.3 rom won't change that status but the 4.3 bootloader would.
You would have know by checking in settings under SE

I understand and i would have done it if it didnt mean loosing warranty.
I guess i feel stupid to .. well ... purposely loose warranty like that.
If there was a secure method i would have rooted already.
I rooted my note 1 no problem , i rooted my note 2 and lost warranty ... no problem
I just didnt want to loose warranty but if i need to run an app and it needs root then yeah . i guess i will.
This just makes me angry with Samsung . They will loose a faithful follower.
Theyre screwing with my ability to use my phone how i want to .
This is my last Samsung.

if your Bootloader version <= MJ3 then you can root without tripping Knox by using URDLV.
The above info are PDA, Baseband and CSC version, not Bootloader version.
You can check your Bootloader version by using my app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★

But ... since i let it on it updated to 4.4.2 ....
still safe?
Samsung does repair it when you have a bricked phone and its owing to custom rom or root. I can't find a English page, but here in dutch: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/90256/sa...foons-standaard-onder-garantie-repareren.html

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 Newbie questions

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

To update your firmware goto sammobile.com download the proper firmware on your computer.
Use odin to flash it to your device.

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

Root GT-N7100<4.4.2> without tripping KNOX

Hi XDA people,
Just found this workaround for rooting latest 4.4.2 stock firmware without tripping Knox.
This method downgrades the firmware(System & Kernel) on your device to N7100XXUEMK4 except for the bootloader.
Dont even try to downgrade the bootloader as this isn't possible.
What you need:
1.Odin v3.09
2.Stock official N7100XXUFND3 firmware on your device.
3. A device with Knox Warranty Void: 0
Procedure:
1.Download N7100XXUEMK4 Stock Rom from HERE
2. Open the downloaded file.You will find 4 .tar.md5 files and an Odinv3.09 zip file inside.
3. Extract the Odin file and setup Odin on your PC.
4. Next extract the file named AP_N7100XXUEMK4_2099172_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
5. Load this file into AP tab on Odin. Connect your phone in Odin mode and flash this file.
( Note : You have to flash only the AP file from Odin. Do not flash the other files namely CP, CSC, BL)
6. Now once the phone has rebooted go back to download mode and check if Knox has tripped or not.
7. Next use Saferoot from HERE to root your device.
(You would find the guide on how to root using saferoot easily over HERE
8. Now if saferoot was able to root your device then you must be rooted without tripping Knox. :good:
9. Now you can easily flash your official firmware through mobile odin. Select Everroot option on Mobile odin while flashing the new firmware. In this way you wont lose root access.
Known Issues:
If after rooting you want to flash custom recovery via mobile odin, or via DR.Ketan's utilities app please note that it will trip knox.
Knox remains cool until your recovery is stock. The moment a custom recovery is detected knox goes 1.

Cant you just do this?
Use Mj5 bootloader and any rom 4.x
Flash Kitkat 4.4.2 via mobilOdin and root.
Make sure status is ok (use triangle away if not)
Flash latest 4.4.2 bootloader via Odin (pcOdin)

Surely it can be done that way.
This is for those who already upgraded to the newer builds.

What i mean was use Triangle away before you flash the 4.4.2 bootloader to get official status and binary count 0, the knox in MJ5 always stand 0.

@smeet.somaiya didn't some guy over at general forum under galaxy note 2 india told us that he downgraded from official 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 and his bootloader was downgraded as well?

I don't think flashing ND3 BL will trigger knox.
Most of the users already flashed ND3 BL from MJ5 while they were on DN3. It doesn't trigger that way.
And yes about that guy, he never mentioned any detail that he downgraded from ND3 to which firmware of 4.3.

I don't think you kept up with haybill and paarkhi's comments in DN3.They were on mj5 and upgraded to ND3 BL and they got Knoxed

I did read them. They got knoxed means they got a BL with Knox warranty Void 0. And @paarkhi confirmed it to me
And I really don't think it would trigger knox that way because the bootloader doesn't check the integrity of the firmware on your device when you're flashing the bootloader itself.
Also it doesn't trigger Knox while it boots up the system and finds unauthorized firmware.
Because we don't have Kernel lock and secure boot like on Qualcomm based N3.

Okay this is all too much for my brain to absorb at this time of the night ,i don't think i actually understand the difference between Knox warranty void and being Knoxed ,i guess since we install de-knoxed ROMs we can't get Knoxed ,just that our warranty goes out the window and we cannot downgrade beyond a certain OS right? If what i stated is wrong then i'll go to bed and dream of knox

Lol. It's paritally right.
Don't worry buddy I'll help you learn Knox
Being Knoxed is getting that extra line in the download mode.
But this doesn't throw away your warranty. Warranty is lost only when this extra line in download mode ends with 1 instead of 0

But wouldn't flashing 4.4.2 BL trigger Knox? I got bit confused with @robalm method
@smeet.somaiya didn't some guy over at general forum under galaxy note 2 india told us that he downgraded from official 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 and his bootloader was downgraded as well?

I cant say for sure if flashing only the new 4.4.2 bootloader via odin will trigger knox, i have not tested it myself.
My post was more of a question from me.

In my opinion that shouldn't trip Knox.
Let us know if you test it.

Have you got any feedback yet?
I do not have the balls to try it, my warranty is still valid and i may need to have it on service in future.

No feedback yet. But one thing i can say for sure that even if this method fails it won't hard rick your phone because we ain't downgrading the BL here.
And I found a similar method on S4 active forums. It seems it works very well.

Ok.
But KNOX will trigger by flashing anything that is not samsung official? (same as the binary counter)

Yes it would trigger by flashing unofficial firmware.
But here we ain't doing that too.
We're just flashing a older kernel+system partition (the whole PDA from MK4) that was vulnerable to root without tripping knox.

I have DDUFND1. Even kingo doesnt recognize it. How can i get a one click root solution :crying:

[Q] unroot galaxy note 4 return to stock reverse knox

Is it possible to unroot my galaxy note 4 canadian variant get it back to stock and reverse knox counter
Unroot and back to stock.... Sure.
But once knox has been tripped that's it.. Not going back
No one has cracked this yet to perform the knox counter rollback on these newer phones
Note 4 also...but n-910G

Go to sammobile and download a firmware for you variant, use ODIN to flash it from your PC.

I would recommend wiping your data before you flash your firmware again since you are rooted.
Oh man -,- i think it's possible with not losing my data
