Hello ,
I want to root my Galaxy note 3 4G
I have some questions before i root
1 ) can we restore and update after unrooting our device like normally we do
2 ) is kingoapp.com One click rooting Producing good result without affecting knox counter
3) Will it be easy to update through OTA or kies once i am unrooted
I am thinking to root for getting access so some of the root features ...
How can i backup my Stock ROM (ORIGINAL) before getting into this rooting process so i may not do anything wrong , if it goes also
I may able to restore it ..
WIll kingoapp.com rooting Change my serial of affect anything on my mobile ...
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks
I suggest you to read some basics about your note before trying anything. Seems you don't know anything. And no one will learn you everything I this thread alone. You have to have some to get some. Search forums and read some and then ask things you don't know.
I say it not to be rude but to save you more time. Really. If you do something wrong and you don't know that you even did then you will ask many more questions and struggle a lot.
You don't even say anything about your phone. What is version and firmware you are on. Above mj3 you will not be able to root without tripling Knox.
No one uses kingo. CF autoroot is used mostly but triples Knox.
You can flash new firmware with Odin and you can get updates again.
Don't know any method to fully backup without root. You can back up apps with titanium backup.
Dear gurus,
I'm new to Galaxy family, I have a small question. Provided that I have root access for S5 and using Stock ROM. Am I still able to OTA/Kies update?
The reason I want to root is to get rid of SamSung bloatwares and use custom kernel.
Thanks
No. You have to download firmware/rom updates then flash them to your phone now.
Using the phone for updates after rooting will cause you to lose all root access and then would just cause more problems. As stated before, you'll have to manually apply them once rooted.
Tks you all, I got it!
I got my S4 about a year ago, and it came loaded with MF9 / 4.2.2. I rooted it and added the hotspot hack and have generally been pretty happy with it. I know there have been a handful of updates in the past year that have likely introduced new features but I know there are also new restrictions. I keep wondering if I'm missing anything significant by not upgrading. If I did, I'd probably err on the side of caution and go straight stock NAE.
So, any good reason to upgrade? I've been away for quite a while so appreciate your input.
Do you have knox? Cause if not never upgrade.. If you do.. No reason not to upgrade
Nope, no Knox, which has been my major hesitation because I know there's no going back. But I'm also falling further behind while stuck at MF9, which perhaps isn't such a bad thing, but I get antsy knowing there's been several releases since then.
My bootloader is mf9...But all my software and modem are up to date.
So i have android 4.4.2 and NAE modem.
So i am away from knox. All things are working well.
But i want to flash the full stock via odin and trip my knox counter since I will root my phone and also can flash custom recovery but the only thing i will miss if i decided to return to previous version of Android i can't do that.
So i won't see behind. I will flash anything new.
U have the holy grail of sgs4s dont go and ruin it. Keep bootloader flash twrp and rock a custom rom. Updates are only put out to destroy you and rape your gf.. Your not missing anything. To my knowledge bootloader being old only limits the STOCK roms you may use. (please c9rrect me if jeeded)... In my experience in 33 years i have never gained anything by upgrading a firmware on anything phone psp xbox router u name it.. Nothing but loss of hackability
Has any of you android geniuses gotten any closer to a root solution for the S5 G870A.. PB3??? I'M DYING HERE I NEED MY ROOT.. ROOT.., THANKS
the only way is to find a first release phone and never let it ota. since they are used to pay for things now rooting is history
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, first time here So I'm thinking of rooting my S8, following this video https:/ /youtu.be/ZD-5twDm6XI but I'm wandering if I'll still get updates from Samsung so long as I use the stock os, I don't mind if they break the root and I have to redo it, but I don't want it to soft brick my device... Is this a good idea? Should I root my S8? And Maybe once official updates stop coming out for the s8 I'll flash a custom rom onto it. Thanks
You will not get updates on a Rooted phone.
Besides this phone won't get anymore big updates. Just small security patches.
You will need to be rooted to get a custom Android 10 Rom in the future. Samsung will not provide one.
