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.

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.

No guarantees from me though. I took a risk, thankfully, my phone did not suffer any problems.

What's a good lightweight, no bloat TW rom? I noticed Omega has a lot of additional features, which I would never use like the Xposed framework.
I was thinking of going with Goldeneye, but not sure if it has been updated to support I337M again.

you should try xposed framework ,and wanam xposed .There a lot of xposed module and i can costumize touchwiz like i want,like maximize widget,wich allow me to click on a notification without having to unlock.For shure its a personnal choice.
But in omega you can choose the app that you want ,if you dont want xposed just unselect it ,it use aroma installer when you flash it,you can remove a lot of apps

Goldeneye never lost compatibility with our phones, so not sure what kind of support you expect or require.? IB4STiD simply requested not to complain from Canadian side for known problems, like lack of 4.3 modem for our phone, which we now got.
Simply flash Canadian compatible third party kernel, (one without knox) after flashing goldeneye, that's it.

It's in GE thread, first post, Canadian fix. Guess iB4STiD opened it up for us again.
But basically go to original development and whichever tw kernel you pick, follow the links to Canadian or T-Mobile compatible version. Kernel makers usually describe whether we have our own or we should use T-Mobile one

We can't use standard CWM or TWRP recovery?

From what I gather, we can use CWM or TWRP, it just blows the Knox counter and warranty is void. Which is why cf-auto-root can still root, and why u can just throw rom manager on to install cwm (then remove, dont install roms with rom manager). This is only for MK6 (rogers/canadian). I would try a cwm or twrp, and just use cf-auto root to reinstall the stock recovery with odin if you run into problems.

This is only relevant for GE versions 13/14. The latest is GE15. As already explained, just follow steps in 1st post. There is a section called 'Canadian install guide', can't miss it. The fix you flash after the rom is the kernel for our baseband (Step A). Easy as pie. Step B is optional, changes network icons from default to whatever your carrier uses (e.g., 4G to LTE).
I would recommend creating a backup of stock once rooted before flashing custom roms. Not sure if there's ever going to be a fix for resetting knox, but traditionally it was a good idea to have this in case you ever want to revert back to stock and unroot. Also backup EFS to be safe, for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546. I personally had to use an app for that after updating, knox kept preventing me from connecting to the program but that was when OTA was launched, might work for you.

Hi there guys,
I've been used to flashing android devices in the past (+2 years ago), but I don't have much experience with it nowadays.
first my current situation:
-I'm running MJ7 atm, rooted with kingo
i'm looking fo flash note's 3 4.4.2 kitkat rom, or omega rom, or cm11
If I understood correctly:
1) install a clockwork mod recovery for my 9005
> what "image" do I use for that? clockwork mod recovery doesn't have the note 3 9005 in it's list
2) install another rom through clockwork mod recover?
I've already tried looking for answers on this forum, but either they aren't for my specific device, or it doesn't explain the steps
Any suggestions guys?
The custom recovery is needed because... samsung's recovery is limited or something?
Trying to find answers to these questions!
In case I overlooked some topics, feel free to point me towards them!
Thanks in advance!

OK, so before you flash you need to know that if you upgrade to 4.4.2 Official your bootloader upgrades and you cannot use CM nor can you go back to 4.3. SO you need to decide which you'd prefer to do.
As for recovery, yes you need a custom recovery to flash a custom mod. -- CWM by Chenglu is the only recovery that currently works on Kitkat 4.4.2.
TWRP/PhilZ/CWM work on 4.3 - so you can flash anything up until MK/ML*
CM11/OMEGA/CRASH/ALLIANCE etc all run on Mj7/MK2-3/ML2 currently so are compatible with your 4.3 build
Since you rooted via Kingo, is your KNOX preserved? because installing a custom recovery will void this.

First of all, I want to thank you for the swift response!
So basically:
-once I flash original 4.4.2 I get a new bootloader and I cannot install a different rom except stock one atm?
-If I flash CM11/Omega etc it's no issue.. Any idea why though? CM11 is also 4.4.2 based.. but it doesn't come with new restrictive bootloader I suppose?
-I rooted through kingo, and during boot I don't see any special "text", so I suppose my knox is preserved
-about the "voiding", I found a piece of text in the european law here about rooting and voiding warranty that will help me if I ever needed that warranty
-Question about CMW recovery: If I install it from the play store, what kind of "recovery" do I need to install? is there a Database for that or some sort?

1- Yup, once you get the new bootloader you can't downgrade, you can however flash ROMS which are created with this new bootloader, so far SweetROM, AndroidNow NG and(soon to be coming) AllianceROM are NA6 compatible.
2-CM was built on the old BL source, it'll probably eventually get updated to NA6 BL at some point, but for now it's based on MJ7 BL.
3/4- Yup if you are EU like myself, then KNOX warranty means nothing to us, I was just confirming you were aware of this
-- CWM has to be installed via ODIN, takes 20seconds to flash via PDA option in ODIN 1.85. CWM will be your main base recovery and you can install/wipe/mount etc as and when you need to.
*Side note, my advice, stick with your current bootloader and avoid the new kitkat bootloader, install CWM and flash in temasek's CM build and custom kernel. It's a fantastic build! just need to install the gAPPS to get Playstore and google apps etc - also Official Nightlies have been announced and are live by CM**
Any other queries just post away :good:

Search before you ask for help. All these have been answered many times in this very forum.
Official or custom system status has nothing to do with rooting.
Find custom recovery from development section and flash it with Odin.
Custom ROM does not trip KNOX, but flashing custom recovery and/or kernel will.
What launchers you have in mind? Stock TouchWiz ones might only work on stock(-based) ROMs. Third-party launchers should work on all ROMs, though exceptions can occur.
There is no best ROM. Try different ROMs ones, see yourself what is best. A ROM may be best for one, worst for other.
Also - If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here.

However in my phone's download page my system status remain as "official" instead of "custom". Is my device rooted properly? or Is this normal?
1) How to install custom recovery compatible with my device?
2) Currently my Knox remain as 0x0, will the process of installing a custom ROM trip Knox by any chance?
3) Are launchers only compatible with stock ROMs and not custom ROMs?
4) Currently what are the top Stock & Custom ROMs compatible with my device? (If I'm focusing more on games,performance, batt life and very low usage of S pen).
Thanks in advance!

Hey mate! That's the advantage of towelroot. You are rooted without tripping knox warranty or changing the status to custom. In other words, you could still get OTA updates when it's available eventhough you're rooted

Towelroot. Developed by geohot. The badass guy who developed jailbreaking in ios.
Download / Install the apk
Click the "make it rain" button

Check knox still 0x0. Status still samsung official means u cn still get ota updates.

Search before you ask for help. All these have been answered many times in this very forum.
Official or custom system status has nothing to do with rooting.
Find custom recovery from development section and flash it with Odin.
Custom ROM does not trip KNOX, but flashing custom recovery and/or kernel will.
What launchers you have in mind? Stock TouchWiz ones might only work on stock(-based) ROMs. Third-party launchers should work on all ROMs, though exceptions can occur.
There is no best ROM. Try different ROMs ones, see yourself what is best. A ROM may be best for one, worst for other.
Also - If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here.

Hi,
Thanks for your clarification, still a bit confused though, and I don't understand you by "If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here". Please don't feel offended as I'm new & total noob to the root & the ROM "world". FYI, I did search & read up the internet for information but I don't understand most of it. Thus I'm seeking help here.
1) In order to install & flash any Custom ROM, one must have custom recovery for back up first right? Since by flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox, then why do so many people (including me) trying so hard to find a way to root our devices without tripping Knox in the first place?
2) Does custom ROMs & kernels comes separately and not together? For example, I can install custom rom A and flashing kernel B from custom rom B or other sources?
3) Are there ways to customize or modify my device e.g Changing boot up animation, overclocking the processor, changing batt logo etc... while rooted and running on original ROM?
I am new to the world of Android, coming from an Iphone. I have no first hand knowledge about rooting or installing custom roms.
I have an S5 which lags alot and its because of the touchwiz as i've read.
I want to install the pure android, like the one on the nexus 5 on my S5
Model number is G900H. I dont want custom roms like cyanogenmod. I want The one from google pure stock android for my s5.
Can someone please help me out with this and provide step by step instructions as to how I can get that?

Very doubtful someone will guide you step by step, the general idea is to root your phone, install a custom recovery, then install a ROM, there are many guides on how to do this which are tried and tested.
Have a search, it's hard to miss them.

Ok which custom roms would you recommend. One that won't send my apps crashing and much more stable than the touchwiz

Downgrade your device if you're on a new firmware, use a firmware for your model, flash it via odin (there are plenty of tutorials) root using towel root and you have a rooted phone, the way I did it will void your warranty and knox will be set to 0x1, this happens when you flash something you shouldn't via odin, I flashed a custom recovery, bootloader and modem via odin so my counter is no longer 0x0, there is a way you can root, install a custom recovery and flash a rom, find the Neat Rom thread in android development, get everything you need from there and fire away.
Research and read everything, until you understand it, but the general idea is, root, recovery then rom, forget about original android development for now, concentrate on actually finding a rom that will work on your device, the most common is mine which is the 900f, you're on h so you need to find one that is compatible, don't leap in without guiding yourself first, check and double check.
Good luck.

As most custom roms are pre-rooted flashing a recovery with Odin will do and there is no need to root the device first , then make a nandroid backup of your current rom in recovery and flash the rom (and Gapps for CM) of your choice. Flashing a custom recovery/kernel may void warranty though as KNOX will be tripped to 0x1. As you have the G900H CM is not option atm. You could root the phone and freeze all not needed apps and widgets with Titanium Backup.
