[Q] Root using Kingo without tripping KNOX

Hello,
First i want to say that i really like the forum!
I've read a lot on your forum because i am new to android and got my Note 3 for a week or 2 now.
But i cant figure out if it is possible to root my Note 3 because i cant find anyone with the exact same firmware as i do, it shows:
AP: N9005XXUDMJ7
CP: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005OXXDMJ7
Is it possible to root using Kingo (without tripping KNOX)? i believe it is not possible through Root de la Vega.
Kind regards,
Robert Buchel
Edit: i've placed this in the Verizon section but it is a non carrier version so maybe this topic could be moved because i cannot delete it.
im sorry

yes you can root with kingo and claims have it that it doesnt tripp knox..
but after root. you might wanna instal supersu from playstore or chainfire website. and remove kingo su. hence kingo is asian< so you might wanna run with chainfire after root..
hope goes well!:good:

Thanks for your response :laugh:
I believe it is also possible through odin?
I cannot send the link because I am a new user but anyway.
I've send a message to this guy and he says it doesnt trip your KNOX ether and he runs MJ7 as well
I dont really know the diffrence (exept for the method) but i will try Kingo this evening.
Thanks again for your response!

yes you can root with odin..only if your firmware is Ml9 if your on MJ7 then better off with kingo.

it doesnt work. it keeps saying:
"An app has been forced stopped due to an unauthorized attempt to access system settings. Check now?" No other info is given.
I've got a check box to not "check" again for 30 days. Other choices are to cancel and OK. If I click "OK" it takes me to ALL APPS.
I don't know what to do now
edit: if i pressed ALL APPS i had i warning that it maybe harmfull to install unauthorized software but i had an option to press intall (mktcamera) and it rebooted but im stuck on waiting for device.
I've tried serveral times but i will try on a windows 7 machine later this day (im on windows 8)

Well i've tried Kingo a few times and also on windows 7 but with no succes :crying
At the end of the proces i get an message saying that the exploits do not work and it is not possible to root my phone.
There is an option to continue but that will ward my waranty.
I Guess i have to wait.
I saw 1 other method (odin) as i mentioned before but i am not 100% sure that my KNOX keeps at 0x0

I know you posted here hoping for a positive reply, but you also know that you mistakenly posted this in a Verizon Note 3 forum. With that said, if you have a VZW Note 3 with the VRUBMJ7 version, Kingo will root the phone without tripping Knox in my experience and what seems to be the experience of many others on this forum.
Now for the bad news that you don't want to hear. There are quite a few versions of the Note 3 that Kingo cannot root yet (one of them being XXUDMJ7), and Kingo has acknowledged this. On top of it all, Kingo also says that there is a 1/1000 chance that on the note 3 you may trip Knox during the rooting process.
Something to think about down the line if you know the version you have can be rooted but yours doesn't root for some reason, I had to use a USB 2.0 cable plugged into a rear USB slot on my computer to get Kingo to root my phone. The front USB ports did not work and neither did the USB 3.0 cable that came with the phone when I tried to root my phone at first. Others may have had other experiences, but those are mine.

Yes i am sorry that i posted this topic in the wrong section.
Thank you for letting me know your experiences.
It didn't work with usb 2.0 ether.
I guess have to wait till someone posts a new way or upgraded kingo to root my device.

Umm...
Haven't you guys heard that Kingo is very dangerous and almost definitely spies on you?

Galaxy Note 3 first time rooter
Hi everyone, newcomer here. Thanks for providing this community to help people out and thanks to Chainfire for making CF-Auto-Root.
I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I've never rooted before because I really like Touchwiz and the useful features it provides. I've read the main post for CF-Auto-Root, so I understand this is supposed to be the easiest root method that's supposed to retain stock Touchwiz and nothing more.
Before I take the plunge, I just wanted to clarify my understanding to make sure I really do want to go ahead with rooting my Note.
1. When you say CF auto root is rooting my phone, does that mean it's just achieving a "state of being" with the phone, and not really installing or modifying anything else with Touchwiz (besides SuperSU)? As in, everything is the same as before, Touchwiz is the same as before, and the only thing different is that I've gained permission to access more things in the software?
2. My understanding is that I shouldn't lose any data, apps, home screen app layouts, etc?
3. Will I lose any functionality in Touchwiz? Like S-Pen features, Samsung apps, etc?
4. If I receive an update to 4.4.4 or 5.0, will I lose this cf-auto-root state?
Thanks everyone for helping out!

CF-Auto-Root flashes custom recovery, which installs the su binary and SuperSU application and then sets back the default stock recovery. Everything else remains unchanged, including TouchWiz.

Most likely, though there is a chance, that su binary will not be removed, in that case you keep the root.

Hi, I have a Note 3 model number SM-N9005 which is factory unlocked with no carrier on 4.4.2 in the UK.
I'm trying to root using the CF auto root thread instructions here

Yes it is. That download is for Note 3 with Device Type = hlte and Product Name = hltexx.
Just to make sure, as the download is based on Device Type and Product Name, check these info for your device with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (in GENERAL INFO section).

Noob question
*edit* I didn't see the older question asking the same thing sorry you can ignore this
Hello everyone I am new to rooting phones and I was looking into CF-Auto Root since it is said to be beginner friendly. I was wondering if using this method would wipe my phone of everything I had on it or would it just give me root access while leaving everything else on the phone the same.

I know XDA is a reputable site, so I don't have to worry as much, but I know that theoretically speaking, downloading things outside of the official Android app store poses a risk for being malware or spyware.
So I'm only asking this in the spirit of just practicing utmost caution, how would I know that the CF-Auto-Root file, which can be found through the link below, is genuine and untampered with?

On your website with all the downloads for the CF-auto-root there is not an option for SM-N900V (Verizon) phones. Is this one that has not been tested yet?

try cf auto root...but it will void your warrenty (if it matters)
or you can wait for ping pong root i think it will come for s5 too soon!

I'll take a look at cf auto root and think about it, it's not likely it'll matter to me if I void the warranty or not.

Root on 4.4.4 Kitkat

So in the Note 4 Dev page "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60610290&postcount=173" they have achieved root on KK (4.4.4) by using King Root. Unfortunately due to the status of the locked boot loader on the Note 4, it is only temp and will unroot the phone after a reboot. Has anyone with a Note 3 tried using King Root yet? And if so, do you only have temp root like the N4?
King Root works on generic 32 bit phones. Note 3 is a 32-bit phone
Instructions w/APK from another post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60612907&postcount=183

It failed on 4.4.4 NK1.
After the reboot, the app ran again automatically but failed again.
Now I'm uninstalling the app.

I have been reading up on the Note 4 forum on Xda and people are saying that it may take couple tries before root access is granted. *Must be online for the app to work, as it connects to their servers to see what exploits can be used to root the phone.

I m on 4.4.4 NJ6, i tried to root with kingroot but it seens that doesn't work

can also confirm that nk1 it did not work. I've even gone as far as trying the pingpong root and the root that the xperia recently got. We are all desperate.

Have any of you guys try opening king user after using kingroot and grant root permissions to something like root checker or does the app just fail while trying to obtain root?

I've tried using root checker after multiple root attempts and reboots and it always fails to verify.

I've tried King Root v4.1. Didn't work on NK1.

I can second that.

I can third that

kingroot wasn't able to root it in either attempt I made, 4.4.4 or 5.0 . I tried with both the android apk and the pc version. Its possible that it requires multiple attempts (its all in chinese so who knows what exploits it is trying)
I just got a replacement device and it came with 4.4.4 so I am hoping to find something to root. there doesn't seem to be anything that works yet.

That's right, it is in Chinese. Who here can read it? I, for one, am curious to learn which exploits it is attempting.

Any updates on this? I have an opportunity to get a Note 3 with NJ6 on it for free from a friend... will Kingroot work? I've kept my finger on the pulse of the Note 4 forums, and I'd do kingroot and then supersume, if it would work.
Thanks!

[Q] Verizon Note 3 (N900V) Root

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]

Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..

Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant

Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...
