Also I went through the steps. It says nothing about putting phone in download mode. It says load program on computer...click debugging on device..connect phone to computer..let drivers install..click root..and your done. No odin or anything..hmmm!

Just a few questions for you b0Ne83:
1) Apparently you used the N9006 application?
2) Does this trip the knox counter?
3) And, does it erase all your data after rooting?
Thanks bro!

Cool this is awesome

How do I check to see if knox counter is tripped ?

I've rooted a lot of devices and this was by far the easiest. Nothing to it really. Just had to figure out how to put the note 3 in debugging mode (which you press about phone 7 times or something like that )

You shutdown your phone and hold home volume down and power till you are in download mode, hit ok which I think is vol up. It tells you. Then it shows the phonestatus.

Ok just got some new info
It does say custom under samsung
However under knox is reads "0x0"
Is that what yours reads ?

No it does not.
Mine reads "0x0"

so no factory reset or data wipe needed?
now if only we had a real EFS backup.....

That is GREAT news that the knox counter is not tripped as Samsung and the amazing Chainfire state it is totally NOT reversible. Which means your phone's warranty is void and you won't be able to upgrade to any future official update ever again. Here's a link to a good article on it.
http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/
As for mine it reads official not custom as my phone is still stock. I'm treading lightly as you will understand if you click my link and read the short article...

That is correct. No wiping data or factory reset needed. This just gives you root permission. Super user, Titanium backup, and addaway all running smoothly.
Easy as one click

So are you saying if I use this method that if there is an OTA update....I will be unable to get the update?

I was wondering if there was a way to root it yet after seeing and 3-4 post in the general section, of people saying they will root their phones later in the day. I haven't found any way to root it yet.

Install cwm recovery and flash supersu.zip in recovery and you have a rooted note3.
Any suggestions/ideas for the N9000 model? The CWM recovery is for 9005.

it is not only warranty. for people who are using the phone in persona/business scenario - KNOX is very good solution.
many companies are using iphones just because of this security issue.
and now Samsung will be able to be "corporate" supplier of devices due to KNOX.

There is a chainfire zip you have to flash after you flash the recovery through odin. Check the Android development section and there is a guide for a rooted rom. He has a link to the zip. Please read that thread first. I will not have my note 3 till the 12th so I haven't done it yet.

[Q] Root and KNOX

Hello,
I updated my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 with KIES to XXUDMJ7 and right after that I rooted it before activating KNOX on my phone.
After that I wanted to start using KNOX so I clicked the app icon in order to activate it and filled the password to start, but then I got an alert meesage saying that my phone has been changed so KNOX can not be used.
I do want to use KNOX because it seems a nice to have feature to protect my sensetive data.
Can anyone PLEASE help me what can I do in order to enjoy a rooted device and KNOX together ?
Looks like u tripped the knox counter by rooting

Not what was asked... Knox is a program that separates Android into 2 sections, the insecure one that we use rooted and a secure version that stops all apps from doing ANYTHIG that could give out our data. Photo's taken while using the Knox security feature wil only be available in the Knox section.
No, you can't use Knox after rooting as you have now opened up the system to questionable apps unapproved by Samsung...
There is no way I have seen to spoof the system to allow use of Knox security app and have a rooted phone....
Just to know

Does it mean that if I had activated KNOX before rooting, my phone would now been destroied ?
Can you please tell me if there is a way to enjoy root and KNOX together on another phone ?

1) No, Knox stop working, that's all
2) It seems that no with the last firmware ... On our Note 3 with the old bootloader you can root with "Root de la vega" and enjoy Knox... With some S4 that's the same.

My previous firmware was XXUDMJ4 and I had problems with the S-pen, so I updated it to XXUDMJ7.
Can you please tell me what is this update ?
The only reason I rooted my phone is to use "Tasker" and "Greenify" apps.
don't know the change log for the MJ7 update... But i know that with MJ7 (and also MJ5) you have the new bootloader ...
Thank you all

[Q] Consequences of rooting Note 3?

I know that if I root my Note 3, that will trip Knox. Personally I am prepared to risk that.But reading odd bits here and there I have heard mention of e-fuse?
And that this can mess up the hardware?
Is that correct? And what triggers it?

Nothing will affect your hardware, rooted my phone in the first day.
Just read root/rom threads for your device carefully and follow all instructions to avoid any hard or soft brick.

Also rooted my Note 3 the first day. Tripped knox and never looked back. I would also suggest to root using cf-autoroot via Odin mode. Just search for it in the forums. Worked for me every time. Also if you like to install custom ROM so that you can use your Note 3 to its full potential.
Use kingo root it will not trigger knox. But you cant flash a custom recovery that will trigger knox. But rooting with kingo you can still mod your phone to the fullest.

I agree with the kingo advice. I used it and it's a one click easy root. If you want recovery I'd recommend safe strap. Neither of these recommendations will trip knox
Kingo is suspect. Lots of talk about why it communicates data back to some mystery Chinese server

Hello everyone,
I have just one month old galaxy grand prime SM G530H.
i have not rooted my device, and recently installed philz touch recovery 6 on my device using odin but it flagged my knox counter to to 0x1.
That means my warranty is lost. can anyone help me?
I am frequently getting this error, that unauthorized actions has been detected.
Please anyone consider this.. Thanks.

First of all, I believe, most of the people using XDA forums possess enough eyesight to view things in normal font. (and if not, there are numerous tools available to help them read or even listen to what is written). So you don't need to make your writing so big and bold that looks harsh. If you want to emphasize, you can use emoticons/smilies (that is what they are meant for). I don't want to be rude but to keep this platform clean and nice is OUR responsibility. Hope you don't mind.
As for as your problem, I think you have to flash back the stock recovery and (even the stock rom if the problem persists). Do some more research before taking any step or wait for solutions from experts. I believe guys will see your post soon
Best of luck :good:
Ohhhh hmm i understood. Waiting for reply. Thank you

Rooting or Installing Custom Recovery = Knox 0x1. There's nothing you can do about it. You cannot change it back to 0x0. It is permanent. No more warranty.
For the error you need to disable knox. Read here on how to disable knox.

Thanks for valueable reply. i tried that non rooted method. But the problem still persists.
So now i lost my warranty.... then should i root my device or not. I think it doesnt matter... right ?

As much as I know for now, the knox once tripped is impossible to recover. May be there is some hardware switch thing associated with it. Anyhow, I think it does not make much difference because knox can only be a problem if you ever want to reclaim your warranty or re-sale the device. In my case, I am 99% sure that the device is working perfect to my needs and I don't have to claim the warranty or resale it within the warranty period. So if you don't have to claim warranty and also you don't want to re-sale, tripped knox is nothing to worry about
best of luck :good:
