[ROOT SUCCESS+ GT-N7100 [Leaked firmware] N7100XXUEMJ5 (JB 4.3) - Open Asia (OLB)

I managed to get root, and with the help of the KNOX Disabler app, I disabled Knox nonsense, using RootExplorer, deleted the Knox files from /system/apps folder.
You need to flash Philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5 recovery, reboot. Switch off phone. Start phone in recovery mode. Flash CWM-SuperSu-v0.99.zip in Philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5.
Restart phone and run previously installed KNOX Disabler. I downloaded and installed the version 1.0.1.
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks to the dev owners of the said recovery, CWM-SuperSu and KNOX Disabler.
I am a happy user again. Lol!

I did not care about Knox warranty, however following your question I went into download mode. This is what I see:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (12 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
WARRANTY BIT: 0
That is all the information at present. I hope this answers your question.
Cheers.

thanks for answering.:good:

Sorry--but this is a bit ambiguous--
"Flash CWM-SuperSu-v0.99.zip in Philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5."
I follow that we Flash CWM-Supersu-v.0.99. zip in Philz Recovery[which we have previously flashed to device with ODIN]--but what is the tar.md5 bit about--surely we don't reflash Philz in ODIN, again--or, are you simply referring to the, now, on board, CWM Recovery?
Not trying to be a 'smart-alec' just not following.

be a smart user and assume that he just copy paste the previous line because he dont want to retype the recovery name.

Hey, @YOSEFE, just another question--which ROM were you using before you Flashed this latest leak?
Reason I'm asking is that, I am currently on Dr.Ketan's 'hybrid' ROM which is a mix of XXMI6, and XXMJ2 plus mods taken from latest Note3 firmwares--and, it's great with many things not available to standard Note 2.
I would like your opinion of this latest leak firmware, XXUEMJ5, and how it compares--presumably it doesn't have any of the fancy Note 3 'gizmos'???
But, is it fast, smooth, clean, not buggy. etc....
BTW I'm not saying that Dr. K's ROM is not super fast, smooth, clean, etc...in fact it's excellent but, just wanting a comparison, to see if there was any good reason to Flash it.

Philz Recovery will have already been flashed by others, however I mention it because there will be those who have not flashed anything past the firmware or ROM.
If CWM Recovery works for anyone that is fine too, but I have flashed Philz Recovery on advice somewhere in a thread. (Lazy me, can't say which thread).

I was on XXMI6. The ROM can be a bit laggy. As someone pointed out to me, it is only a test firmware. Nevertheless, it is smooth enough for my daily use.
There are obviously no Note 3 goodies on the ROM. If those are very important to you, and considering the amount of trouble you have gone through to flash Doc's ROM, I would say keep Doc's ROM.

Thanks for the info @YOSEFE, The Good Doctor's latest work is pretty cool and definitely what I want. Sometimes we get caught up in Flash mania and need to find a good solution and stick with it.
All the best.

I'm on MJ5.
I have no knox notifications anymore.
I also used Root Explorer to search for all knox files and references to knox, I then deleted all these. My phone still works well.
No guarantees from me though. I took a risk, thankfully, my phone did not suffer any problems.

You are too late in responding to this.
That method you refer to was one of the two or so of available means. Since then, Chainfire has released superuser version that incorporates a disabler or uninstaller.

root on kitkat knox

Hello, everyone,
my note 3 runs android 4.4.2, has 0x0 (since that it has not yet been rooted) and I'd like to keep it that way.
So, my question is: is there a rooting method that will not trip my knox?

There is not a way to root it without tripping KNOX, it's possible only for Jelly Bean

And downgrading is not possible either, so I'm kinda stuck for now, huh...

I dont care about the the knox status, but I want to change the custom status to update my phone with Samsung updates. I downloaded TriangleAway v3.26 but I cant choose the option (see attachment). As I understand I can use the App to block the status but it doesnt work. And I have no idea what "System executable needed to implement workaround not found" means. Where can I find the workaround and where shall I store it on my device ?
The second message I dont understand too. I dont find another version in the play store... I think its the same version like in the board?
Maybe someone could help me

You can also install xposed framework and use the cosmetic system normal mod. This will make it look "Official" in settings...
I don't know if this will allow OTA, most people just use ODIN to flash what they want - but you most definitely will loose root doing an OTA.

If the device is rooted. I would never suggest OTA updates. Odin is the way to go.

ROOT P605 4.3 BMJ9 and keep Knox 0x0 using Towelroot

Hi all
I have just rooted P605 4.3 BMJ9 with TOWELROOT by Geohot, Note is rooted and Knox is 0x0. Root problem solved. It was released today for S5. According to Geohot, it should work for several android phones. I have not tested it on 4.4.2 but it's likely to work. I will use Mobile Odin pro to update firmware to 4.4.2 and then flash bootloader separately just in case.
PS: I was on 4.4.2 NEE but downgraded to 4.3 NEE and then back to my region BMJ9 BTU.
Here is the xda thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
The website is: Towelroot.com
Use SuperSU from:
http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
Thanks a million Geohot!!!
Edit: Towelroot works on 4.4.2 NEE. Rooted and Knox 0x0.

I just rooted my SM-605V on Android 4.4.2 using this method and it works great.

WORKS , just rooted my P605 , installed Xposed cause that all i want from root
Knox 0x0
Thanks

Perhaps we can get a few logcats going and see if he could add support for the Exynos or Galaxy Note 2014 at some stage...

Towelroot just rooted my SM-P607T. Knox Warranty Void remains 0x0. Android 4.4.2.
SuperSU has issues. Won't download / install the binary. Says "Installation Failed!" even though apps are requesting and I am authorizing Root. I installed SuperUser by ChainsDD in the meatime.
I installed Wanam, enabled 4-way reboot menu. Working lovely.
Gotta hand it to GeoHot.

When I initially ran SuperSU (before the Binary update failure) it recommended silencing / disabling the Knoxx stuff otherwise it would complain there-after. I did so --- no issues so far.

Pitty this root method is a bit to late for me LOL!!!! im sitting on 0X1, hope some1 will proof Samsung even more wrong about setting 0x1 to 0x0, I know I read about the "e-fuse" and all but one never know the brilliance of the other. Once again good job Geohot.

Towelroot installs needed files for root. I didnt install SuperSU at all from play store cause its not latest version.
ChainFire is updating SuperSU soon and when latest version (1.99) is online you can install it from play store.
After Towelroot I just installed Titanium Backup (and pro key) and freezed all crap including knox.

After using towelroot on a KNOX-enabled stock 4.3 device, is is possible to revert back to the 4.2.2 bootloader without burning the e-fuse?

Ok, tried to delete system apps, including the knox ones, with root explorer and was successfull!
And about the downgrade, it will change the knox status for sure, because knox is in the bootloader too, not only the apps and libraries, and here, root doesn't made any chance...
Enviado desde mi GT-I9506 mediante Tapatalk

The KNOX e-fuse should be burned only by the bootloader in ODIN mode when it flashes an unsigned file to the device. Getting local root on the device and writing a new bootloader directly to the flash should not be able to affect the e-fuse?

It is slightly wrong. You shoud burned KNOX when you flash different version of kernel, recovery, bootloader.
You can flash system, modem, NON-HLOS and maybe others. I've tested only system and NON-HLOS.
Now I have my GT-I9506 Singapore version with KNOX warranty void 0x0 in this configuration:
System and NON-HLOS from Finladian version: I9506XXUBNE1
The others from original Sigapore version: I9506XXUBND2

Yes, but you are talking about flashing this via download/odin mode, right?
My point is that with root, you should be able to modify the flash directly, overwriting the bootloader.

Would it be possible to receive original updates OTA with this root?

As we have root I would think (so don't quote me on this) that OTA is blocked. But as I see it it does not really matter as the next update for this devise is probably going to be 4.4.2 and flashing that probably also means loosing root.
Now that was a lot of probably but as I see it..

You need "Official" status under Phone Info to receive OTA updates. ROOT will be overwritten by the updates.
After root it's very common to have "Custom" status, but you can cheat it with Traingle away app (not tested by me) or sometimes you can be "Official"after Wipe ( it depends what changes has been done to the system)

ROOT+SuperSU+Xposed P605 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX

The why
A lot of this has been said in other threads, however I decided to gather all the up-to-date (as of Jun 17, 2014) instructions and info in this thread to alleviate fears of the infamous 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x1' and help people with the process. People with tripped KNOX can of course use this as well, however it won't untrip their devices, duh.
The cheers
First of all big cheers for Pinkie Pie (person who discovered the Linux kernel vulnerability that makes rooting without tripping KNOX possible), geohot (person that used the vulnerability to make a rooting app), chainfire (developer of SuperSU), rovo89 and Tungstwenty (developers of Xposed). Go and donate to these guys if you can!
The what
This post will tell you how to upgrade your P605 to 4.4.2, if you haven't already. And how to install SuperSU and Xposed all the while keeping your KNOX counter at 0x0, CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official and SYSTEM STATUS: Official!
Note: The versions in this text are just for reference - telling you what versions already worked. New ones will surely also work, so you should usually download the newest available.
The how
Firmware
4.4.2 NEE P605XXUCNE2 (any of the current 4.4.2 firmwares should be fine, although Samsung might use an updated kernel for the future versions, disabling towelroot)
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53092676&postcount=1
Simple instructions available here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30325 (you can also download the firmware from here, but download is slow for free accounts)
Root
From http://towelroot.com
No special instructions (it's a 1-click root)
SuperSU

Extract Superuser.apk (in 'common') from the zip, install and run
Answer yes to the Disable KNOX prompt (don't worry, KNOX will not be tripped)

Congrats! Now you should be on a rooted, SuperSUed, Xposed KitKat with warranty left intact! However before sending it to Samsung, e.g., for repairs, you should flash your original firmware, of course.

Can this be made to work with the SM-P600 on Android 4.3 unrooted? Any help will be appreciated. This would be a dream.

At the end it will say it failed, however it will be working!
If you are annoyed by the 'failed' message for some reason, download an updated version from http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/ (you'll have to flash it manually though) which supposedly fixes it.

You can wipe the tablet from recovery:
Turn tablet off
Turn it on holding Volume Up + Power Button until you see something on the screen
Wipe data/factory reset
Reboot
NEE will be fine for all P605, however I don't know if it works with something like P605V (US Verizon).

First you wipe then you flash
You can download the driver from the Samsung website, e.g., http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-P605VZKEVZW (don't worry that it is on the US page, the driver is the same for all Samsung devices)
Glad I can help. I waited for root quite long myself :victory:

In the thread discussing towelroot on P605, people claimed installing xposed would change your binary to custom. That's holding me back for now, can you confirm that it stays official?

It only makes it custom inside of the ROM. In download mode it shows Official. You can also use the Wanam xposed module to change it back to Official in the ROM.

alright, thanks!
so if i have some warranty issues, wiping everything from recovery or re-flashing the unrooted stock ROM would make everything official again, right? I know I sound like a scared little girl, but I just really don't want to risk my warranty on this rather expensive device

Heyy its wonderful i did it but there is a problem about kitkat rom i saw a little lags and the biggest problem is whatsapp says it is not compatible with this device also twitter in playstore what should i do thnx for your all help

Hello i should restore system defaults how should i do directly by using recovery mode can i clean systam cache and ... Or before it should i unroot from su?

To make sure; unroot and then factory reset

As long using stock recovery and it will stay Official. Just custom recovery will give custom.

No it doesn't. You dont seem to understand difference between "system status" in Download mode or inside of the ROM.
Here is couple of pictures to make you understand.
In the picture below you can see system status official. This will change, if you install CUSTOM ROM or CUSTOM RECOVERY. Towelroot does not change any of these data here:
In the picture below you can see Device status "custom". This can change to custom if you ROOT the device and/or install SuperSU or Xposed framework. This has NOTHING to do with the status in the Download mode as seen in the first picture.
I hope that people wouldn't mix these things, because they are rather easy to understand. Talking about things that you dont really understand will cause confusion and makes people asking more stupid questions.
Thank you!

I'm not quite sure, but it seems that in some cases the ROM can detect if it's rooted.
For me it changed to "Custom" after rooting with towelroot and SuperSU installation. I changed it back to Official with Wanam xposed.
