ohh my sorry for my 1million question... but what is KNOX?? looks like note 3 is much more complex than s3 huh? i want to use custom rom....

Knox is the security precaution behind Samsung now. Its just basically saying you rooted your phone. Does your phone come with a locked bootloader or are you unlocked by default? Knox will also stop you from downgrading. If you try your phone is straight dead... But you should be able to use safesteap I think.... I think safe strap is out for this one. I can see if I can find it if you would like...

Well think, there's always a chance to brick any device. I thought I bricked my phone I was stuck in a massive bootloop a few weeks ago. lol. But as long as you follow instructions you should be okay Just read, read, and read the instructions over and over, are you on Verizon? If so you have a locked bootloader. Nobody has found a way to bypass the bootloader like the G2 has with the loki flash. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But for right now, the only thing that the Note 3 has is safestrap. Which someone correct me if I'm wrong again. Before you do anything, do you care about voiding the warranty??

Would also suggest to go to settings and make sure re-activation lock is set to "OFF" before flashing...

Just trip the knox counter and install custom ROM then you can use your NOTE 3 at its full potential. I would also suggest to root using cf-autoroot via Odin Mode. Worked every time for me. Good luck on rooting.

It's not really advisable to tell people to "Just trip the knox counter and install custom ROM" when they have just got the device and have a lot to read up on still. - Especially when the first question they ask is "Can I root my Note 3?"
It's easier regardless of your opinon or anyone else's to let the OP know the facts, the risks and the issues that may come and let them decide. :good:

Pretending you're an idiot, I'd tell you to buy some soil and a pot in home depot. Then plant your phone into the soil. Wait a few days. Rooted.

If you where an idiot I would advise you against rooting and tell you that you could brick your phone by attempting any kind of root.

[Q] SM-T530NU not full root help

It's the 10.1 inch
I just rooted my tablet today and gained su.
I can give apps su. I get the give su prompt box.
I used the Odin method from this site by chainfire.
Now I managed to kill knox. I closed and un-installed all 6 knox stuff with titanium backup. I did create a back up file for all of them but I don't think you can restore them.
I need busy box for some of my root apps to function because I need the killall.
For some reason busy box gets error message saying there might be a problem with my root.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the SM-T530NU rooted using the Odin/chainfire method (I assume you're referring to the Play Store busybox app). The problem went away for me when I installed and ran Root Browser, which installs components of busybox on its own. After installing and running root browser once (follow the setup prompts), and then rebooting the tablet, I was able to run the original busybox installer app with no issues. No idea if this'll work for you but since it was the exact same set of circumstances, hopefully it will.

With custom recoveries available, cf autorooot isn't really needed.
At some point you are going to trip knox. But if you have successfully disabled knox, go ahead and flash
a custom recovery. Then flash chainfire's latest supersu update zip. Then find your busybkox install via market
or a custom binary.
If custom binary, push it to /system/xbin, then open terminal and su, then
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
reboot

i am unable to root my Tab too, is there anyway to pre-check if it can be rooted or not. and what is the tool for it ?

Settings > General > About Device tell me your Model number (e.g. mine is SM-T530NU) and I can tell you if it can be rooted. IF AND ONLY IF you have the same model number as mine, SM-T530NU (and by extension the one in the OP, the one in the title) this method will root your tablet BUT it will also trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If your model number is at all different do not use that link it could very well brick your device. Just tell me your model number, good chance there's a way to root it

Will someone please help me with this? Why can't I install busybox?

SM-T530NU is mine. That's what you needed right?
Now will I be able to unroot my device to play a game that won't run if I'm rooted?
Or is there a way I can run it and still keep my root?
I used the chainfires way of rooting and I just did the superuser unroot.
I went to the Samsung website and got the stock file for my device which is like 1.2 or so gb.
Can I put that back on my device and then wouldn't I be completely unrooted?
Also I used titanium backup to remove all the knox files while I had root.
Will this be a problem when I flash over my Samsung file I downloaded from the Samsung site?
I want to have full root but still be able to play this game ragnarok. Can it be done? Oh and using that lame hide my root from the Google play store didn't work. I hide the su binary and removed the suapp and it didn't work.

This will root your tablet BUT it will ALSO VOID YOUR WARRANTY

And what about my other questions? Can I hide the fact I have root? How?
What about if I want to unroot it? Will it be fully unrooted? How?
What if after I root it and then unroot it, can I root it another time? How and will it cause problems?
Is there a program like macro touch that I can use without root?
I feel that my questions are very simple and straightforward could someone answer them?
Someone that had actually done it and not just someone that thinks they know what their talking about.

Jesus Christ dude are you illiterate I was providing a link to the other guy to root his tablet. But yes please, get me banned. Sic the internet police on me for all I care. You want your answers questioned? There are two invaluable tools just waiting to help you find your answers. They're called the xda search button, and google. You're a human being living in an age where we have the most immediate access to just about any information imaginable. I have around a dozen devices all rooted using a variety of methods and I am able to install and run any program on any one that I darn well please. If you're really going to tool around and hem and haw about a bunch of apps I don't know that I can help you.
You have the SM-T530NU? Fine, this is a surefire way to root your tablet. HOWEVER, in doing so you will trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If you don't understand that sentence, I revisit my earlier point of READ. Learn on your own, that's what I've done. But stop coming at me with your confrontational language, especially coming from a position of such a persistent insufficiency in knowledge and a lack of the motivation to rectify that shortcoming on your own.

You can unroot in SuperSU. It's an option called "unroot"
Yes it will be unrooted. Or you can just reflash system firmware.
I don't foresee any problems with rooting, unrooting, and then even re-rooting your tablet but even so if problems arose (which they probably wouldn't) there are ways to wipe/reset the tablet.
I don't know what macro touch is. Use google, the play store, xda, etc. to search for apps.
Yes maybe he shouldn't've asked his question here. Don't jump down my throat for answering it. I can read perfectly fine, I do it more than most and have been blessed with 20-15 vision.

5 You want to mod your device? Cool. You pay the price.
6 Now this POV isn't particularly popular but, I believe Samsung has every right to protect it's warranty. You mod your device, you void your warranty. Fair is fair.
7 There have been numerous responses to your question in this thread which have been far kinder than this one. Try saying thank you.

should i root my note 4 ?

hello all ,,,
i really wanna ask you for the best advise
should i root my note 4 ?
what would i lose if i did ?
what are the best things i gain ?
does it make the devise slower ?
or does it mess up with the battery ?
and thank you very much

After reading your questions, the answer for you is NO.
Rooting is great and opens up a eorkd of oppertunities and can make ur software much smoother. But in YOUR case, dont do it cuz it dont seem like u will benefit from it

Yeah, the benefits are endless and has few if any downsides. One of these few things could be warranty issues, but that's mostly theoretical I think depending on which brand.
My only consern towards you is that it seems you actually do not know what rooting actally is at all, due to your line of questioning.
Rooting does not do anything more to your phone than providing plain admin access like you got with a pc. Nothing else whatsoever, besides getting you cut off from installing/using many usefull apps which only accepts non root/jailbraked phones due to security/copyright issues.
The upside of rooting and the admin access/control is that it opens up for installing apps which can tune your phone and it's framework to better performance and endless ways of customizations.
Before you even think of getting in to this, READ UP on the matter. It seems like you think rooting in itself is some kind of magic wondercure that makes your phone into a superdevice. And if you have to ask this questions at all, better keep off untill some learning is done. If you do these proceedures wrong, your phone easily dies.

thank you guys ,
but what i meant there is some feature that could be lost , like ( deeb sleep ) witch save the battery life while the phone is on stand by
and the knox serves
and thank you guys , i have a good back ground about how i can do it , but i should have to ask like a noob to get an answer ^_^

By rooting, You'll trip the "knox counter" in the bootloader to read 0x1 (=customized). The permanent result of this is that the Knox partition will not function ever again. This is because Samsung can/will not guarantee the knox security system anymore beeing intact on a customized phone and the phone shuts the knox down automaticly when Knox counter is triped.
Besides that, rooting does nothing to the system other than provide administrator priveligies.

can u please let me see your battery life pattern ?
dunno if i am going to lose ( deep sleep ) or not

There is no 'best' it is down to personal preference and how your device behaves. You need to try a variety of them until you find one you like.

that is why i said please recommend me one , maybe i don't have time to test them all :$

Guys, do you think we will be able to root WITHOUT tripping Knox??

I stopped rooting my phones. Not sure if the people who root fully realize what rooting does to they phones.
There is a reason why banking apps and many others do not work on a rooted phones..
Any app with su access can read/write the private data (and in memory) of any other app. It is ridiculous..
You basically relay on supersu (or similar) to protect you. Can you trust it 100%? What if it crash?

Certainly to yours.. No arguments, only foolish remarks. So typical..
I wrote "I stopped rooting my phones" so no point you telling me "Don't do it!".
I am not against rooting, but if you have any sensitive data in your phone (or use banking aps etc.), at least think twice and do some research.

[ROOT-Q&A] Note 4

Hey guys, thanks for viewing this topic..
I got a simple question which needs a simple answer, but from a trusted guy in the community (or if u have good experience in this ) I've rooted my phone with KingRoot and I am planning to uninstall the app and thus, unroot it.. MY question is.
If I uninstall the app and thus root is removed and tried to root it again with CF-Auto-Root, will it brick my phone? Thanks!!!

short answer:
No
long answer:
not necessarily. but you can soft brick your phone, if you do it with the wrong version of super su
