[Q] Note 3 ROOTING and KNOX - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have a new Note 3 (SM-9005) and wanted a definitive answer about triggering KNOX 0x1.
Is it possible for me to root without triggering KNOX?
I am not bothered about Custom ROMS at the moment or Recoveries. Just want ROOT.
My FW\SW details are;
AP: N9005XXUFNF4
CP: N9005XXUFNF2
CSC: N9005OXAFNF4
Any help greatly appreciated.

www.Towelroot.com - but not sure if it works on NF4, worth a try tho, as it wont trip your Knox in either way

Ok will have a look at that. Thanks. I believe it is geohotz version. I want to make sure it doesn't trip Knox before I try and will update this thread if I am successful as it may help others.

If you update you will lose root so you will have to root again all your rooted apps settings will stay all you will need to do is update exposed framework

Not 100% on this but I believe RDLV will trip KNOX 0x1 on MJ6 or higher, so I wouldn't update if I were you.
You can try this though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62&nocache=1&z=5607935257721692

No, you don't trip knox with MJ6/MJ7 if you use URDLV and my solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62&nocache=1&z=5607935257721692

Hi i updated using the usual urdlv files and falshed modem and no-hlos afterwards
Now no cam no wifi binary customm
What can i do to fix it? Can binary be reset? Can i create the tar.md5 (with cygwin right?) And flash it over my device to solve it? Would this wipe my phone?
EDIT: root obtained (greenify somehow seems to work without superSU) and knox 0x0, also got sys staus back to official

Yes you can root it but you will trip knox to 0x1 from 0x0 meaning you lose warranty in some countries, the UK for certain
OK thanks for the reply s done that also mean I can no longer unroot after knox has be tripped!

I havent rooted yet amd im still on 4.3. Which is the best method to root without tripping? I just tried Kingo and it gave me a prompt about voiding warranty so i didnt go ahead. However, i was told that kingo does it fine with 4.3 and doesn't trip knox. So now i'm left conused :/
Yeah I was gonna try kings but read a bit 1st on there Facebook page they say kit kat 4.4.2 not supported! So gonna have to read up to do it manually fc-auto root looks OK but I need to know before I dive in and go ahead with it!

Just to clarify, you can unroot but you can't reset Knox warranty void to 0x0...
If you are on KK then make sure you use the LATEST cf-autoroot or you will get a soft brick... If you use ODIN 3.09 you put the cf-autoroot file in AP, if you use any lower then put the file in PDA...
Cheers don't suppose you got the fc-auto root link not sure if you can put up a link in here cheers

It will trip. No safe method in kitkat. At least yet. Dunno future

From what people say. There is an e-fuse for the knox switch. Once you Flash, the switch goes from 0x0 to 0x1. The e-fuse apparently cannot be reset.
But there has been instances where rooting has not toggled the knox switch

On newer bootloader, if I m not wrong mj3 nd above on n9005, confirm it will trip. No possibilities for not triggering knox 0x1.

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Where i live the N comes after the M alfabeticaly so you will get flagged.

What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!
Is there is any way to make my 3g dongol over otg work without rooting

No way to do that directly. HOWEVER for N900 it seems to be possible to reset knox flag and downgrade - look after the relevant threads around!

Mobile Odin Pro, Galaxy Note 3 and Knox counter

Hi !
I wanted to try the method to keep root after the NF4/NG2 update, and I get the Mobile Odin app for that.
But, while I launched the app, a message surprised me : launching Mobile Odin on my Note 3 will void my warranty ?... For now, my knox counter is at 0x0.
Is this true or is this only a misunderstanding ?
Thanks for your feedback.

Like how the Samsung website claims the Note 3 only supports up to 64gb of external storage.
It's a precautionary method that developers use so that they don't get complaints if it doesn't work.
KNOX 0x0 with MOP was a miracle procedure discovered by normal users. But Chainfire can't warranty it because if it does trip KNOX, well...he already stated it.
i falshed both update zips and firmwares (tar.md5) back in my 0x0 times with MOP and kept 0x0.
Remember you can either use MOP or Safstrap or you will be in trouble (backscreen after boot) - if you don't know what safestrap is, ignor this ^^
Okay
So launching this app won't void my warranty if I well understand.
