Not only you mate. Me too. End up I bricked my phone after I get that unsupported version.
I'm stuck in the world of 4.3 as well
I flashed in the Indian version before I knew the dangers. Now I can't revert to any other firmware.
if there isn't a decent fix for this I am done with Samsung for ever. We should be allowed to root our phones.
Hi, I root my Note 2 with MK1 using this file: CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
1- Put your device in download mode
2- Open Odin3_v3.09
3- Turn off "Auto-Reboot" and in AP select the uncompressed file.
4- Flash CF Auto Root and after you see a blue message "RESET" in Odin
5- Immediately put your phone in recovery mode (Vol UP + Home + Power)
6- Install SuperSU

for me Samsung's Android 4.3 firmware has installed a locked down system and bootloader which prevents me from flashing in any non supported software. I get a fail as soon as I attempt to flash anything but the official version 4.3 which is currently installed.
I am hoping the response from the Android community is loud and strong, and that Samsung receives harsh feedback for taking such a hard stance on rooting and the use of unofficial roms on their phones. I have written to Samsung asking for clarification on their policy, and if there official response is that they will no longer allow users to root and or install other roms other than the official Samsung roms then I am going to sell my samsung phone and purchase a nexus 5, and never purchase another Samsung telephone again.
I think that Samsung should or for a download which will clear out the secure boot loader and system and allow users to install the firmware of their choice. I do like the official Samsung Android 4.3 firmware, but I need root to be able to add the tweaks that allow me to make the phone perfect for my use.
the following is my letter to samsung:
Re: Customer reference number: 2116477974
Please quote your customer reference number when contacting Samsung
Email response ID: 2118916545
you are missing my point and did not address my issue. I understand that samsung does not SUPPORT unofficial firmware. I'm not asking for support. I'm asking for Samsung NOT TO BLOCK the installation of unofficial firmware.
As I stated previously, I would like to know whether or not Samsung is going to prevent owners of their telephones from installing whatever firmware they want. Right now I am stuck with the official version of Android 4.3, & I am NOT able to root it nor install another firmware. If this is samsung this official policy, to block users from installing the firmware of their choice I am going to sell this phone and I assure you I will never ever purchased another Samsung telephone.
You should be trying to encourage your users to be happy with your equipment. The enthusiast who for their own reasons want to modify your device should be encouraged. That should be a sector of the market that you would want to go after. After all, us Samsung owners are people who want to give you our money when we upgrade to your future devices. As it is right now I would never think of purchasing a note 3 because of your firmware policy. If you will not allow your users to install the firmware of their choice I will have no option but to purchase one of your competitors products. I could go into the reasons why I prefer to root my phone, but let me just say generally that it allows me to add or change features that allow the device to behave in a way and do things which are important to me, in areas where your official firmware falls short fit my needs.
Speculation on the web is that your policies are designed to curry favor in the business world where I teach departments would appreciate that your device is locked down. If that is the case, I understand that you are also turning your back on the consumer base who wants an open and modifiable device.
My belief is that you should allow the consumer user to have a more open and friendly device. I would appreciate it if you would allow users like myself to remove the restriction that your latest firmware has placed on our devices by blocking unofficial firmware.

It's impossible to downgrade to 4.1.2 if you have official Knox bootloader, I did not know when I flashed indian version that will come with Knox bootloader, now I have stuck to 4.3 but I have successfully rooted my Galaxy Note 2, I tried everything to downgrade via odin but it says - Fail !! unsupported version-
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world, friend. I've been trying for a week now to bypass Knox. But no success. Tried all ODIN versions and every possible flashing file out there. Even the one by dr.ketan. Nothing seems to work. I've been getting the unsupported version message on the Odin screen. Which even led to the OS crashing a couple of times. Had to recover using Kies. As I understood, the fix by dr.ketan was for a leaked test build. and not for the original mk4. Seems to me that Samsung purposely leaked that build to see if anyone finds a fix for it. As soon as dr.ketan found a fix, Samsung fixed it at their end enhancing their own security to block this fix. But the good part is that the Knox counter hasn't gone past zero. :good:
That means that I can still approach Samsung and kill them for this.
Well, we just have to wait till someone finds a fix for this. I'm stuck on the stock rom 4.3 too. Pretty boring if you ask me.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
Sony Xperia S
I may not be a developer at Samsung, but I know what I'm taking about.
I'm pretty new to the Android phones. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet about a year ago, and I absolutely love it -- which was the only reason why I considered an Android phone when it came time to upgrade. That might have been a mistake.
The phone I chose was a Galaxy S5 from AT&T.
For many reasons I won't go into (and that many of you probably know) Kitkat is awful. Removing SD card access removed one of the most important reasons that I bought the phone. So, I decided to root the thing.
I read a bunch of info on how to root, and, eventually downloaded and tried to use towelroot only to discover that AT&T/Google have blocked all functionality of that program. My build is, unfortunately, the latest build -- July 22 2014 (or there abouts).
Now, I'm not sure if the phone was given to me with that update -- I only got the thing on Sunday. Maybe it was, maybe not. Dunno. So I have a couple of questions.
If I were to factory reset the phone, would that roll back these "Security" OTA updates that were pushed onto the phone? I'm pretty sure there was at least one after I got the thing. I've spent a fair amount of time setting the phone up, but I'll do it again if a factory reset would allow me to root the phone and return the SD card functions.
Is there a way to push an earlier version of the ROM onto the phone. I'm guessing not, since I think I read that AT&T helpfully locked the bootloader.
Finally, does anyone know of any way to root this device if neither of the two paths I presented above will work?
Thanks for any help. If I can't restore the SD card functionality, I'll probably just return the phone. That would be a bummer because I was really excited about it.

I see that there are tutes here, and am wading through the 50+ pages of forum posts to find what I need. However, my worry is that none of this stuff will work because of the new firmware. Here is all the info that I have on my phone:
Galaxy S5 AT&T US version (SAMSUNG-SM-900A)
Android 4.4.2
kernel version 3.4.0-2178781 [email protected] #1 Tuesday July 22
Build # KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
SE for Android Status
Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_4.4.2_0018 Tuesday July 22
Security Software version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1
Thanks all the pertinent info, I think.
Because the update was so new, I don't think there's a way to root this anymore. People keep telling me to use ODIN and to download an earlier ROM (and I now have ODIN and an earlier ROM -- hopefully from a good source, but I have no idea if it is), but my impression is that this latest AT&T "security" update keeps you from reflashing the ROM because of the bootloader lockout.
Any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
As I told you, the only method working for me (because of towelroot non working) is cf auto root.
Check periodicaly here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to see if your model is listed.
I had just a look and it's not listed yet.
If it is, flash by odin and look if root works.
If not, you've got to flash by odin the same rom again (keep your original file on pc), you'll loose nothing, and report this fails on chainfire to test other solution.
Good luck

Not only build number and kernel version, you need to check your Bootloader version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (in the FIRMWARE INFO section).
Bootloader version is one of the important info to check when you are going to root or flashing custom rom.

Hey that looks like a great utility. Thanks! The bootloader is G900AUCU2ANG3
Does that help any? People keep telling me I need to use ODIN and flash this, that or the other thing. Those comments would probably be more helpful if I knew more about this stuff, but my reading has lead me to believe that ODIN won't work with certain version of the bootloader. Or is that wrong?

It looks like after hundred years of wait the final version of Marshmallow is here
But the thread about it have already flooded with hackers and people who root and are in general very advanced users.
Most people of us here have not rooted or touched the boot loader, all the problem we might see in the other thread might be because of the reason
that they have modified the phone in different ways.
so lets discuss of this update work for us who have non-modifed devices ? And let
keep all advanced "root" and hacking talk please. Especially since that in its own might confuse people
cause modified devices might cause problems that we do not get for people who have had patience
to not modified there devices or install any Beta versions of android.
It is not much information at this point about what versions that it is compatible with
but it can be downloaded here
http://www.huaweiblog.de/android/mar...fiziell-final/
I think we are all eager to install this device but there is not much info
we simply need more people to try and confirm what works and not
I think most people in this thread will be on lollipop b331
So it would be nice if people could try and confirm if it works from this version
will all data be wiped ?
You need to do full backup ?
Let us know what problem you get into.
For more advanced rooting and hacking talking use the other thread
this thread is for people with non experience of that
I myself am on B513 and tried updating to the final marshmallow build yesterday and it did not work, i tried both methods of updating, using the dialer method would not even recognize there was an update on my sd card, the power button and volume up and down method started and got to about 5% and then failed. This was all also done on a clean Mate 7, no root or anything and I even reset and wiped the device before trying the update. Either I'm doing something wrong in the update process or this update does not work on B513. Any help would be great in figuring this update out!

From what i have gathered, we may have a problem with the 'cust'. Aparently the verion that's around only works with C432 and some of us have C900 (you can easily check this in 'about phone/build number'. I hope someone with more knowledge can guide us

I upgraded from B513
bug on B522
Hello everyone I have noticed a bug under Marshmallow, some applications like facebook or twitter messenger does not run in the background and suddenly I not receive notifications if they are closed ( the same thing with B513 ) .
All the parameters are good , apps are "protected" and have all the permissions to do it ( run in background ) : it comes from Marshmallow or must wait for updated applications concerned ?
Second question , twice I managed to see integrated into the " phone " application during a call , the keys to Register the call or forward ... it lasted only 5/10 seconds and I unable to remember what I hit to make them appear .. you have an idea ?
Thank you (you and google translate )
we all know that huawei is the most incompetent out of all android oem's, but i dont think they're such idiots to release final version software with such restrictions to who can install it. the update demands too specific conditions to succeed.. i am on c900b331 and im sick of waiting. guys, even 4 years old nexus 4 works WAY better, more smooth and stable than mate 7. i guess we're just used to how it works but since few days im using iphone se and... i think i couldnt go back to huawei. this thing barely works compared to iphone.. still got the mate7, and nexus 4 and waiting to test out final marshmallow.
my concern is this whole b522 is not a stable final yet.
So far everything is running pretty smooth, updated from c900b513 to c900b522 and works great so far, only noticeable thing is the new health app and all but one theme is deleted, but they can easily be downloaded and added again if you want them, ram management is far better, I'll see how battery is tomorrow
I know there's a lot of discussions already on these topics but as this is the first time I'm rooting any of my devices, I just wanted to make sure I know what I'm doing and what I might end up messing.. hope the members will come forward and take me to the world of infinite possibilities..
The phone I'm using:
Samsung Galaxy s8 ( SM-G950FD)
Reasons I want to root my phone:
1. Dual speaker mod
2. Viper4android
3. Substratum themes (black overlay on all apps)
4. Uninstalling bloatware
5. Maximizing free RAM to enhance speed and fluidity
6.Other software tweaks that requires root permission
7. s9 infinity wallpapers
Now, let's come down to WHY AM I HOLDING MYSELF BACK:
1.nervous and confused like hell
2.secure folder (I love Samsung's method of securing personal data)
3. Samsung pass autofill feature
4. Different instructions all over the internet for doing same thing i.e rooting, recovery, etc. Not sure which is the absolute best and safest method.
Questions on my mind:
1. Can I come back exactly where I'm right now once I root, install TWRP?
2. Which would be the best and most stable ROM taking my rooting priorities into account?
3. Can't I use secure folder and samsung pass integration after rooting? (Some posts, videos suggest we can use these even after rooting)
4. What does tripping KNOX mean? Is it something like, once I install custom recovery I can't ever access the KNOX integrated softwares?? even if I decide to come back where I'm now i.e everything samsung has provided us with. In other words, it's question 1.
I know I made my queries a bit too large.. large enough to make some folks laugh at me, but it is what it is.. I just wanted you people to know EXACTLY where I'm standing, what I'm trying to do.. please do not hesitate to leave any suggestion/comment RELATED to my post.
And the LAST FAVOUR (at least for the time being ) I would want from you folks would be a STEP BY STEP GUIDE to achieve my targets.. i.e rooting, TWRP recovery and "Reasons I want to root my phone" section..
Plz, plzzz, plzzzzzz help me..

Before going anywhere you need to know, once you install twrp, your Knox is permanently tripped, if you use Samsung pay, it won't work, if you stay stock things like s-health, secure folder won't work. Using custom roms will allow you to use s-health and secure folder, but Samsung pay will never work, even if you flash stock firmware. So before you do anything you need to make a decision about that.
I will follow this topic. Same questions than op. In my case Samsung pay does not work in my country

I never used samsung pay and I don't think I ever will.. If secure folder can be accessed flashing a custom ROM, the one and only app I would now be worried about is SAMSUNG PASS as I love the fact that I never even have to put the username, let alone the password while accessing my university website which instantly scans my iris and puts me through.. I don't know what I'm gonna do in the end, but if I can't use samsung pass after rooting, it is something I'll miss a lot.. hope I made my point clear..

If secure folder can be accessed flashing a custom ROM, the one and only app I would now be worried about is SAMSUNG PASS as I love the fact that I never even have to put the username, let alone the password while accessing my university website which instantly scans my iris and puts me through.. I don't know what I'm gonna do in the end, but if I can't use samsung pass after rooting, it is something I'll miss a lot.. hope I made my point clear..

Oreo brings the Google equivalent to Samsung Pass so you'll still have that as an alternative
I have an s8 SM-G950f ( Exynos Variant ) Stock rom nougat 7.0
I have installed TWRP and rooted phone
To add to @sofir786 installing TWRP will trip knox - no going back so things like secure folder,samsung pay etc won't work.
at this stage the only way around a trip knox is a new mother board or a new phone
Knox security apparently is a samsung thing.
Not sure about samsung pass but when i try to run it it picks up that the phone is rooted and not that knox is tripped.
Note:The only samsung apps i really use is e-mail and maybe internet so tripping the knox didn't worry me.
Also the device status (Settings - about phone - status -device status)will change from official to custom
Basically no more OTA software updates (can up be done manually though)
Another thing to consider in regards to rooting your phone (as their are many methods) is whether
or not you are worried about passing google's safety net and it it can also effect playstore certification(certified to uncertified device).
FYI : i am using TWRP ver3.2.1.0
Magisk for rooting phone (passes saftey net and has root hiding capabilities for apps looking for root)
i don't know to much about custom roms as i have only used stock roms.If i want a custom rom
feel i use an xposed module to do it,something like gravity box
If you do decide to install twrp and root the first thing to do is chech/make sure that your bootloader(OEM0
is unlocked.
All info on 'how to' can be found on xda threads

Thanks buddy.. and you too @sofir786.. you guys made it easier for me to make a decision.. which is I'm gonna become an android geek.. :victory: now that I've come to an end, I just want a li'l more.. :silly:
* I was wondering if I still have to pay dollars to apply substratum theme after rooting and installing TWRP recovery on my device.
*** If someone could provide all the links, tips, ROM (the one with absolutely basic and stock features as I love the stock ROM but I've to root and install TWRP to access the features I mentioned at the very beginning)
Plz keep in mind that this is the very FIRST time I'll be EVER attempting root, twrp, kernel, firmware, and the list goes on and on.. so, plz spare some time and be specific(PLZ) .. breaking it down to step by step would be easier for me to understand so that I don't mess up anything..I'm attaching my "About Phone" section so that you know all you need to about my device.

Something i forgot to mention is modifying your phone may void your warranty.
If you are using a carrier locked phone rooting your phone does not unlock you from that
carrier - separate issue
Custom rom,s i can,t really help you with ( there's a few ) as i am using stock rom. Same goes for themeing
a search on XDA will give you more info
Since i have rooted my phone any apps(bloatware) that i don't want i have either frozen or uninstalled.
My first step in all this was to find more info about your phone.Apart from the info in settings-about phone
i used an app CPU-Z or My device (or both) both from playstore.
If you have the Snapdragron variant of the s8 (mines Exynos) processor i may be of little help to you as i haven't kept
up to date with Snapdragon variants (you will need an unlocked bootloader(OEM))

I also own the Exynos Variant (Carrier Unlocked) and voiding the warranty is something I knew from the very beginning... my Bootloader version is "G950FXXU1CRD7"

Hello....!
I am sorry for my bad English skills
I am using Samsung Note 4 Sprint Android 6.0.1.
It's very bad and doesn't have a fingerprint. I need to go back to an earlier version.
I've used "Odin" and "Z3X SamsungTool, COMBINATION". All failed.
I downloaded Firmware at website sammobile.com.
Please Help me...!
If you were on the n910PVP5DQ15 firmware then the sboot is fused5, binary 4 and can not be downgraded. That is most likely the reason you have a fail in Odin. The following links will provide further information and guidance. If you have questions ask then in this post, good luck

Well I hope you don't ruin it. lol The Note 4 is concerned by many as "the last develop friendly phone". The Last Spirit update (5DQ15) has made it not so friendly. Prior to loosing my phone, I was on Lollipop
4COK1 with the ultimate Note 5 hybrid (MORA) rom as my daily driver. I could flash back and forth form lollipop to Marshmallow and choose many different custom roms. However, I seldom used MM because I didnt like the layout of the OS. Hated the mock location that force an app and Google maps in Samsung settings (BIG TIME, Yea how moke is it if it connected to Google maps?). While on lollipop just set mock location and done. Furthermore, the permission settings in MM are scattered in different sections that not only adds completely in navigation but confusion as to what the F is this? All the while stating udate for you security. My security or there's? Well, no use crying over spilled milk as they say.
Being locked to 5DQ15 firmware was a new experience. Now years later, I found myself unfamiliar with the Note 4 5DQ15. The first thing I noticed was n910p xda forum was "where did everybody go" ? Next thing I noticed is all the bricked devices and fails in Odin when downgrading the 5DQ15. Thats when I decided the safest choice to begin with was the
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no.../rom-15nov2017-stock-ish-plustidbits-t3705395
Being with installing TWRP followed by rebooting the phone. Then I rebooted back to TWRP and made a backup of all the partitions to external sd. Afterwards, I flash the custom rom. I was very pleased it had completely with xposed firmware and models. Although its really a great rom, I still missed my old customizations in 5.0 roms.
Reading threw the forums at that time provided very little to go by and the information posted by members seemed to conflict. Some said you you can on 6.0 rom and others saying the opposite. All the while lioking to purchase another n910p with a lower bootloader which lead me to visual prof of custom roms on 6.0 are compatible (maybe). I still needed to flash to be 100% sure. (screen shots in next post).
I also felt like you "Its an inexpensive device and Im going to take a risk".

I think people can easily buy the latest phones today.
The warranty company assumes all responsibility.
It is difficult to find someone with hobby of editing phone software.
Now just to be perfectly clean, I am in no way suggesting that anyone purchase a pre rooted device. Never
WARNING
To all , You never know what has been installed hidden within the system when purchasing a pre-rooted phone.
If thats not enough, consider the developer of the rom that has put in all the work, cheated out of there donations.

The warranty company assumes responsible with new devices, of course rooting will void the warranty.
Not that difficult to find someone with the skills to edit Android devices. I'll simply say XDA
You are using Z3E tool and Odin are you not? Well then why not buy a newer phone?
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Its just a hobby of mine, I enjoy moding and flashing. Im not a programer. I simply wish to give back to the XDA community.
I could buy a new phone but the newer models of have locked bootloaders. (us versions).
