To use cf autoroot . So whats the best way to root my device.

If you still have android 4.3 jelly bean then use root De la Vega. That version doesn't unlock the counter in Knox

Cf auto root is fine provided you accept that it will trigger Knox to 0x1.

I rooted my galaxy s4 after flashing 4.4.2 and I dont remember how I disabled knox over it and got my all root apps running. I used cf autoroot and odin.
So the procedure for note 3 will be same?

Rooting will allow root apps to work. If you want to remove knox then flash a custom rom.

As a relative newbie I find the above undecipherable. What is cf root? I just got a note 3 and none of the "one click" programs succeed. I got developer options visible and usb debugging turned on. What do I do next and where can I get cf root whatever it is. I still have twrp leftover from my s3. Any use?
Thanks for the help!

If you know what root does to your phone go for it. If not dont even try to root it may brick your phone.
Tell me which version do you have ill find instructions to root it for you.

CF-Autoroot :

Read the thread carefully before you continue, find the suitable file for your Android version. You never provide the details of your device.
Btw, your somehow "leftover" from your S3, are not usable anymore.
Different device need different methods of rooting, recovery, and ROMS. No other device tools can be used for cross device unless with a proper code porting.
Cheers.

SM-N900V VZW version of Note 3
VRUBMJE
Android 4.3 (yuck)
Thanks in advance and yes I rooted my S3 and got frustrated when they pushed 4.3 out. I had to re-root and I never could find a launcher I liked for it. I bricked my S 3 a few times finding my way around. From advice found here I succeeded in recovering several times. I have TRW on the phone but I'm assuming it won't be that useful.

Samsung Note 3 NC5 Root

I'm trying to root my samsung note 3 stock NC5 rom and I have searched and searched but I see a lot of outdated information in relation to other version of kitkat so I'm not sure and can't find any info on rooting a stock NC5 rom. If anybody could point me in the right direction I would greatly apperciate thank you.

So i take it this software version can't be rooted. I was thinking of using chainfires root method but don't want to brick my phone. Any suggestions thanx.

Use chainfire's CF Autoroot, pay attention to your model version, eg: N9005

is it safe to change firmwares like this?

sorry for the noob question, i was a happy user of an original Note and was aware of the process of flashing firmwares, then I changed to xperia, now with my note 4 and this new KNOX thing i just want to know if its safe to flash another firmware for the same model with odin, i have no intention of rooting nor custom fw, just want to have lollipop as soon as it rolls out

Yes, I flashed NK5 over NJ4 on my 910C and had no issues. Even kept all my apps and settings.

SM-N910C Rooting Questions

Hi Guys,
I ordered SM-N910C (Note4) and I should be able to received them sometime nextweek. Now, being said, rooting the device came into my mind .
1. SM-N910C (open line/ not carrier lock) can be rooted as long as its Boothloader unlocked , right? - if boothloader lock, is there a way to unlock it at this point?
2. Once I rooted and Installed TWRP/CWM, can I restore them to default/ Stock recovery ?
3. Once rooted, do I still get update on Samsung Apps via Samsung store?
4. Once rooted, Can i still update the firmware as soon as Samsung released new version such as 5.0 (understand that I need to manually upgrade it) - I think I read somewhere that if Note 4 is rooted, you will not be able to upgrade to 5.0 even doing it manually, im not sure if it is 100% correct.
5. Once rooted, other samsung apps will still work , right? such S Healh, S Voice, etc (all N4 feature).. is there any feature/ samsung app that stops working as soon as we root the device?
6. I know Note4 camera is really good, but I found this site, that we can still boost Note4 camera by replacing the camera apk, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-boost-galaxy-note-4-camera-performance-using-mod-1473882 .. anybody already tested this ? wondering how it performs..
7. Planning to root it using CF Auto Root.
I understand that rooting N4 will trip Knox (let me know if there are new procedure that will not trip knox).
Thanks

1.You can root without touching bootloader.
2.Yes
3.Yes
4.Yes. but you have to flash stock ROM manually with odin (Never heard you can't flash ROM with odin bcoz of rooted status)
5.There may be some app got broken like S health,screen mirror and some banking app etc . but almost have FIX for it.
6.Your linked content is from XDA source only, search in theme and app section
7. My preferred method is flash CWM/TWRP and flash SuperSU zip (CF auto differ only by keeping recovery stock, which actually have no meaning but lot limitation is there)
No method there to root without tripping knox
PS : This topic goes to Q&A NOT in development

1.i don't think any note4's BL is Locked...or if there is any there will be unlockers soon.
2.yes, with odin.
3.yes.
4.you can update it with Odin.where do you Read it??! (if there was any problem you can use Custom Roms..Or Deodexed Lollipop Roms and Flash Them via Recovery)
5.i know if you root New Samsung Devices With CF-Root Method and others like it KNOX Will Trip...its mean All Security things that Use Knox will not work anymore Like Billing Services...go to settings/about phone and see them.
6......i don't know too
7.see 5.
i didn't root my N910C too and waiting for new procedure

Thanks, dr.ketan and genius.lizard2.
I;ve been looking for CF-Auto-Root file for Note 4 SM-N910C, and I only found this.
SM-N910C (Thailand, Exynos): CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip
I am from Philippines , do you think above file will be compatible? What will be the effect? and I am not sure where my SM-N910C came from as I also saw bunch of SM-N910C from different country.
Thanks.

Hi guys do you know if we can expect a knox 0x0 root method, like towelroot for our notes?

Not at this point, definitely rooting will trip Knox 0x1, at least for now.

yes CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip is for N910C Find it From Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
now that i'm thinking....i can't wait anymore for Another method..i'm going for CF Root too.

Please update us when you already rooted it and how it goes. My note 4 will arrive next week.
The cf-auto-root I found is Thailand version of SM-N910C, I'm afraid that it might not compatible with other version SM-N910C, or we encounter issues (different langauage?)
Anybody who tried this on any SM-N910S?
Thanks

download official .tar.md5 ROM file from sammobile or if you have one use it.open it with Winrar.there is recovery.img , extract it.
make a tar file with this img file...you can do it with linux or a batch file in windows like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

HI guys,
After rooting, would you recommend installing TWRP or just use stoxk recovery? And what is the advantage of TWRP over stock recovery?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

With TWRP or other recovery, you can flash custom ROMs and MODs. That is the only purpose of it.
