Hey Guys,
Just a quick question. I am looking to install safestrap on my phone but the version says ncg and im on ne9. Can i safely install this on my stock ne9 firmware? Ive been looking around for an answer but havent been able to come across one. Thanks in advance!
Yes.

OK so I have looked everywhere to find out which method is ok to run on the vz version of the note 3 running MJE. I think I find my answer and then people start talking about a different model of the note 3. So I figured the best way to find out is just ask.
How do I root without tripping the knox security? I'd like the option to flash my own roms, but have been able to figure out on my own that flashing a custom recovery will trip xnox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right now Kingo can be used to root mje build without tripping Knox. I have heard some guys having success with older versions of Kingo.
The only recovery available is safestrap. Since our bootloader is locked down. Safestrap and flashing roms for safestrap will not trip knox either.
Also heard guys using Vroot to root mje.

This is what I had assumed from what I read I just wanted to hear it for sure, directly for our device. Thanks a ton!!

Actually thanks for this thread, I was wondering the same thing. If I could add to it, is it possible to unroot and go back to complete stock if need be?
There are instructions on how to unroot back to stock but like everything else can't conform it is for this model. Thank you vz and Samsung for making crap difficult!

Yeppers! Flashing the stock image with odin will wipe all traces of root and safestrap, and return your phone to normal.

Hi all! I'll start by saying this, I'm not a COMPLETE noob here. I have had a fair share of experience with rooting and flashing roms; However when i got my new S4 i stepped up in the world of android and am sorta lost now lol. Currently I'm stock MF3 with AT&T, and in a bit I will flash the MK2 update.zip and root then. Well, my understanding of SafeStrap is that it uses the phones memory to make virtual slots for roms, therefor (correct me if I'm wrong) the current system doesn't get wiped. Now I have searched, searched, searched, read, read, AND read, multiple threads trying to find my answers and I've just ended up with confusuion. If my understanding off SS is correct I want a rom that is Stock 4.4.2, Fast, battery enhancing, and most importantly Stable. I saw on in Particular that stood out to me and that was Vision-X but the post to me confused me whether i could use it on the NB1 build. Another question I have: Is NC1 worth it? I've seen that I could do a work around to keep root from NB1 and go to NC1, And Finally my last question (thus far): Can I flash themes i whip up myself with Universal online Theme Kitchen? Is that compatible? I hope that the XDA community can help me once again with my questions and guide me onto the right track. Thanks in advance XDA!!!

You don't have to upgrade past MK2, and it doesn't matter if you're just going to put a custom ROM on. I believe the ROM you mentioned is compatible, but you could always check the All Things MK2 & NB1 thread. With safestrap on MK2 you'll be able to run both 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROMs by using Om ODIN to switch kernels. As for themes, Safestrap allows all normally flashable zips, so it's a matter of whether the kitchen is compatible.
Thanks for the reply! Currently im Stock NB1 and rooted. I'm going to flash Skyfall.Ill see what happens.
Edit: Flashed Skyfall but for some reason after reboot i get stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I followed the installation guide, am i missing something?
Since i didn't update my bootoader when using the keep root method to NB1 i used Odin to get back to stock MK2. Which SS version should i use to try and flash skyfall?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how I can install Lollipop for my SM-N900V which is rooted with TWRP and Safestrap on Baseband N900VVRUCNC4 and Build number KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4. I've looked into ArayaMod and Jasmine but I'm super confused about how to go about the install. Do I need to flash stock 5.0 via Odin and then flash a custom ROM? Do I need to install from an SD card?
I'm pretty discouraged and I'm almost ready to just flash the stock 5.0 and lose root privileges if it's possible.
I hope this doesn't seem too vague but if someone could just point me toward a decent thread or video to give me some direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Are you just wanting to install a stock 4.4.4 KK ROM or a custom KK ROM? I may be able to get you where you want. Just need to know exactly what you're wanting
I want to be rooted on 4.4.4 so my apps work again. I just dont remember how to get there. Its been a year since I last rooted my phone. Like I said, right now im rooted on NK2 4.4.2
Thanks for your help.
Hey guys,
I am looking to flash stock 4.4 on my S5. I am currently running 5.0 PB1 but the bootloader cannot be downgraded as I'm sure many of you know. Any link to a stock 4.4 ROM with no bootloader would be greatly appreciated. I preferred the darker look of KK compared to MM or Lollipop
If I remember correctly, this is the thread you need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/installing-custom-roms-newly-rooted-t3292655
See the 2nd post. Read through the thread and ask questions.
This thread is interesting...https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880. My S5 came with PF4 6.01 loaded on it, so I downgraded to PB1 5.0, rooted, and then unlocked the bootloader. I came from an S3 running BoneStockROM 3.4 which is 4.1.2, so I would love to run NK2 on my S5, which I think is 4.4.4.

I'm not rooted and I have no plans to root, I was talking about a tar file that will work on PB1. I have tried to root it, but have failed. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to rooting. I've tried asking on reddit, but no one had a link. I've seen some people with the PB1 bootloader running 4.4 so I thought it was possible.
