Since Samsung Introduced 4.3 They said that they have put KnoX on it
So while reading the CF root thread i read that many users got bootloop
so I wanted to ask if flashing the Official software back to the mobile (In case of error)
Resets the Binary Counter or Status to official ? and How does the download mode look like
does it have the Knox Indecator like other Samsung Devices (I used to own an Galaxy Ace plus and now an Xperia ZR user)
I am just asking because I might do that to a friend and we don't want to loose the warranty

On the Grand 2, you won't hit Knox, because it isn't there.
But on a high-end like the Note 3 or the S4, using Odin to flash non-Sammy stuff would change
KNOX WARRANTY VOID=0
to 1. Sammy customer service employees would freak out then.
Thank You Very mUCh ;D
Hi,
I just bought the sm g901f (same as the g900f but with a snapdragon 805). I wanted to root it but I don't know if towelroot is available for my device.
Do you think I can root it with having the know counter at 1?
I tried with modstring : "1337 0 1 7380 4 0"
But the app seems to be freezing
Does anybody knows how to fix it?
try autoroot, should work, there's a thread about that here also
yes but the thing with autoroot is that it will increse the knox counter. I don't want that...
I'd assume that because the device is so new, that the kernel used is one from after June 3rd which means that the exploit used in towelroot doesn't work anymore. But thats just an educated guess
thanks! i know now.
Does anybody know if geohot keeps his tools updated?
no, he works for google now
Hi : )
Any news about towleroot on g901f ?
Or any other solution that allows rooting g901f without having knox at 0x1 ?
Thanks
No,
i will not work.
The exploit,towelroot uses, was closed later on.
The S5 (plus / A version) does not have this exploit. Fact.
There is no chance of getting 0x0 with root for the S5 + versions.
only cf autoroot will work for g901f and your knox will be 0x1
Thanks for your answers guys.
CFAutoroot applied a long time ago ^^
I have done some surfing, and found out that ping pong root is successfully unrooting the S6 without tripping KNOX... so logic tells me that it should work for the G901, but unfortunately ping pong root has to add our model to their list before we can try it.

Is it possible to use this method on a Verizon Note 3 SM-N00V? Both models have the same processor and capabilities, but I'm not sure if the locked bootloader on my N00V would cause problems.

Well yes but I haven't tested it.
The root part I can guarantee will work but I will need to update the guide for other variant with the necessary kernels which I'm currently doing but the rom flashing, I cannot guarantee will work but I can make it for all those who are
Also please note that, the Dev base rom has additional modifications done for extended battery life. The Rom that I would provide would be 100% stock. (I'm saying this because the original stock firmware needs huge battery improvements).
I will update the thread with root kernel and stock kernels for N900V ASAP.

Awesome! I'm completely find with a stock ROM, I just miss root capabilities so much!
So I need to wait for a different .zip kernel file that was made for the N900V and I shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip file you have linked up right now? Other than that, the only other file needed is the stock kernel for the N900V on 4.4.2, right?

Yes you shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip which I have provided since its only for N9005 model.
Unfortunately since I'm not aware of your model and the method provided requires a ROOT_Kernel for your variant, which I'm still trying to find.

replaced both a stock Note 3 4.4 and a stock Note 3 5.0 - no issues
have successfully replaced both a stock note 3 4.4 and a stock note 3 5.0 [both new] with this root without tripping knox method
both are working smooth and have no issues, have installed various apk's requiring root/superuser access and all are working 100% as should
did it for a bit of fun, while STILL waiting for the EE Note 3 & EE Note 4 official firmware's that were promised months ago [just in case your reading XDA Mr EE!]
so to clarify the steps, all worked, no crashes, knox still showing 0x0
cheers for all your work and testing King and thanks to all that contributed with various bits n bobs to allow you to do it!
I've just broken my Knox 0x0 rooted Lollipop ROM. I was trying to disable the startup and shutdown sounds and renamed 2 files in the /system/media folder. They were called samsungboot and samsungshutdown or something, I cannot remember the file extensions. Can some kind person please upload them so I can try to replace them via adb without tripping Knox? Or is there another way? Thanks.
EDIT - never mind, I just went for a reinstall
just to clarify. will this method work if i have unrooted stock 5.0? and installing 4.4 wont trip knox?
That's correct
Will this work on galaxy N900t
Im new here and would greatly appreciate a step by step guide to root a galaxy N900t using tmobile and lollipop. Thanx. Rob
Kernel version=pda?
hello in the Rooting instruction "Before starting this find your kernel version and build number, the last 3 letters/digits matter such as NG1 or NH1, etc"
kernel version=pda?
THANKS.
Q: Note 3 [Apps can't save/SD card not recognized]
Hello XDA
It's my first time to post here and my first attempt in flashing a phone. I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 on Kitkat which I upgraded and rooted following the guide by XxXKINGMAKXxX. I followed to guide to the letter and have successfully gained a rooted Android 5.0 without any apparent problems. I used the stock ROM by XxXKINGMAKXxX and NOT the Alexander dev base.
After a day of using though, I started noticing that some of my apps can't seem to save or recognize my SD card. Here's a short list of some app errors that I encounter:
1. Google Earth ("An SD card is required to run this application")
2. Facebook Messenger (Unable to save image)
3. Chrome ("Do you want to replace the existing FILE in your Documents directory?" followed by saving error)
4. Snapseed (saves file but cant be located anywhere)
5. Autodesk Sketchbook (same as Snapseed)
I have tried factory reset and have reformatted my perfectly functioning external SD but the problem came back again. I have GSam battery monitor and Cerberus app installed as a system app and I use Link2SD to freeze some apps that are deemed safe by others. I use Tasker but very basic profiles only and also have Greenify but I greenify most app that I installed via Playstore only.
PLEASE HELP. I don't know what to do with this phone anymore. Anyone here who have encountered the same problem?
Link to the guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/root-guide-note-3-lte-sm-n9005-lollipop-t3093183)
I flashed the rooted Polish ROM 3 times and had exactly the same problem each time. I moved over to the Alexendr Devbase rom and have had no such problems.

So the problem is in the stock ROM? Well now that is sad. I wanted my ROM to be as close to stock as possible but with root access
Anyway, If I were to flash the Alexendr Devbase rom, where in the steps should I start? Do I need to downgrade again to Kitkat (part1 or part2?) or I will start with the flashing of Mobile Odin (part 3)? Im sorry but im really really new to these.
Thank you for the quick reply.
You need to downgrade to Kitkat, start at the beginning. The Devbase rom is pretty much stock with the option to debloat.

Can I downgrade to Kitkat and begin step 1 just by flashing the Sammobile ROM? I believe the bootloader (OB6) and the CP file has already been flashed in the process, wouldn't that be a problem i.e. create bootlop/brick ? Have you tried it yourself?
Thank you again.

Just follow the guide from the beginning, the BL & CP will be over-written when you flash the stock KK ROM with PC Odin.
Fix Possible
For all those that have had issues regarding the SDCard and Permissions. All you need to do is after you have flashed the rom. Clear your Cache, Data and then Fix SD card permissions.
All of these options are present within the Recovery mode of NOTE 3. Hope fully this will fix the problem. Fortunately, I have not faced any such problems. I have retired from this project as I have previously mentioned that I no long have a Note 3 with Knox 0x0. I have moved over to Sony Xperia series and working with other developers to make mods for it.
Sincerely,
KINGMAK

I figured out what's causing the bug on the stock Polish ROM. It seems that wiping the cache partition in recovery causes the app permission to be messed up. I've tried reflashing twice and a couple of factory reset; I get the same result after going to recovery and wiping cache. Fixing SD Permission is not available in my recovery menu. I've switched to Alexndr DevBase OEA and so far so good. Thank you guys for helping out. Great great guide.
Hey , you can do this manual by Version deodex of " devbaseAlexander ?
For root knox00 in 5.0
Thanks.

Hi,
My cousin owns a Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and he wanted to root it. Since i was using custom rom on my S3 i9300, He asked me to root his phone and i told him that the knox security will mess things up. Anyway i rooted it with CF Autoroot and root was successful but the phone started restaring periodically and he wanted me to restore it back to stock rom (Unroot). He bought it from UAE and the build version was I9505XXUGNH8. Since we didn't find any firmware for UAE from sammy site, he searched the google and found a link (samfirmware) and downloaded the firmware. Then i flashed it via odin. All is good.
Now he want to root it again but the SElinux status says Enforced. Tried towel root,kingoroot and other stuffs.. No hope. The Knox says 0x0 and knox void is 0x1. Android version is 4.4.2. please help me to root this phone.
Thanks in advance...
Use cf auto root. It's the only root method that works.
Afterwards make sure to delete everything knox related. There are plenty of guides out here that tell what to delete.
Thanks for the help.. and if you don't mind, can you please tell me where to find those threads about deleting knoz files and what should i do to get a custom recovery in i9505?????

Hello
i have the SM-N910C running the official lollipop firmware,
days ago i've rooted it using CF auto root through the odin,
And it was successful, but the question is the CF auto root
replacing the stock Kernel to another one while flashing ?
cause when i reset flash counter using triangle away even without restarting the phone it still shows in triangle away:
counter: 1
Binary: custom
system: official
but in bootloader it says:
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
secure download : enabled
knox warranty void: 1
rp swrev: 1
and the reactivation lock is off in the settings and the bootloader
i just need the software updates after root
and resetting the flash counter to Zero
and to know the kernel is it stock or custom
anyone could help ?
and sorry for any bad english, thanks.

Hi, cf autoroot doesnt replace your kernel, so u should still have stock kernel.
and also as far as i know, triangle away doesnt work on note 4 ... so right now there is no way to reset the counter to zero.
and 1 more thing is you may have posted this question in the wrong thread, you should have posted it in the Q&A thread. ^^

Good luck trying to figure out how to reset that counter permanently - so far no one managed to find a way to do that since the introduction of KNOX back in 2013.
