-Root it, triangle away, unroot it, might just work.
-If the method above didn't work, it's probably Knox messing with u and u wouldn't be able to flash any anything even if u wanted to.
-For the Note 3 I would say yes.

Just download a full firmware and flash it through odin. Simple and u don't need headache.
for upgrade cross firmware (different base), advisable to do fullwipe. In upgrade to KK, full wipe will lessen ur headache about some FC/some apps not working/huge battery drain.
ur choice to make.
Yes update worth it. My battery can last almost 2 days with 3-4 hrs screen on.

[Q] Some questions : Device status, update, root ..

Hello,
I am new member so excuse me if I put the topic in the wrong place or I repeat the same questions.
Anyway, I have note 3 neo (N750) and I rooted it with CF-AUTO but I didn't know that I need to look at the version of the phone ( mine is 4.3 ) ! But it worked so I think it was the right version.
I forced problems :
SuperSU won't be updated and it say that KNOX detected and when I want to disable it " disabling failed " !!
I bored. So, I uprooted the device and wiped the cache of partition + wiped data/factory rest.
After doing that, SuperSU updated and KNOX disabled !!!!
I decided to Rooted again but this time by your advice expert
But before that I want to update the device because I see a lot of people on the Internet have note 3 neo with 4.4.2 ! But mine is 4.3 ! So how to update it ? The device status is custom so I can't updated ! How to get it back to normal ? Flash the stock ? How to find the stock one for my device ? I am from Bahrain ( Middle East )

Root problem

Here is alot reports of cf-autoroot and cwm/twrp rooting methods doesn't work in SM-N910F. Does anyone know what is going on? I believe new software update is problem(not 5.0.1).

They work fine. Have done for me at least.

i tried to root my stock n910f with kitkat.
apparently the cf-autoroot was for 5.01 lollipop, result.. a soft brick (it could be my usb cable to tough becouse it was broken and sometimes it disconnects the phone)
so after that i got a new cable and flashed the stock lollipop rom from sammobile.
now im running lollipop and i think i am goin to try root it today
if you look at chainfires page, the cf-autoroot file is for 5.01

Problem is not in 5.0.1. Only 4.4.4 after software update.

I used the cf auto root on my note 4 and it bricked
I used the cf auto root on my note 4 and it bricked how do I unbrick it?

Hi Mike, search the forums before asking any questions. Search google. Don't expect everyone to do your job for you. Post your threads in the right section. This question has been asked and answered a million times and you'd know this if you took 5 minutes to search a little bit.
Here's your answer https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/

out of curiosity, why dont you want to trip knox flag

What model do you have? Find out in phone settings in system / phone info. Sm-g900a has locked bootloader. I think verizon's phone also has a locked bootloader.
The link I gave you shows how to upgrade to lollipop, root it and keep knox 0x0.
Isn't that what you're looking for?

my bad, you did. 900f has an unlocked bootloader. when you upgrade to stock lollipop through OTA or Kies (or odin) it already includes bootloader and modem. When you do it the way described in that reddit link you flash the lollipop firmware, modem and bootloader separately. Apparently that method of updating needs it to be done so.
Honestly I have Knox 0x1 so I never cared for those methods, btw if you live in Germany then there's no need to care about Knox. In EU we're allowed to flash whatever we want and the guarantee stays intact even if you have Knox 0x1
ps. yes =p

Honestly, I don't know. That reddit link I gave you, I haven't read the guide myself. I just skimmed though it to be sure it was real but I don't know the details of it. Yes all G900Fs have an unlocked bootloader. :good:

Do you mean ota stock firmware notification? If yes then you will have it if Knox is still 0x0 if Knox however is 0x1 you will no longer be able to update via ota.
If you want to upgrade from KitKat to lollipop you must wipe data from recovery to avoid any issues. It is also not recommended by me to use titanium backup to restore apps because some might not be compatible with lollipop yet or some of the app data made for KitKat may have a conflict with lollipop system, however lots of apps have compatibility with lollipop and there is a chance you will have no issues at all when using titanium backup. Even if I said I don't recommend restoring data after such a major upgrade I do recommend having a backup whether it's with titanium backup or nandroid etc because you're able to restore apps one by one and make sure that what you restore won't be problematic.
Edit - if you update with flashfire app, there is an option to keep root when flashing from rooted KitKat to lollipop and users have reported that that feature does work for them (I personally haven't tried it).

I deactivate "reactivation lock" in security tab .and its work . I root it in 10 sec.
But i still have a question can rooting by cf auto root allows me to instal costum roms?!!

Yes and no .
A custom recovery is also required .

The simplest way to install a custom ROM would be to install TWRP via Odin. Installing via Odin does not require root access.

Thanks guys for helping me and I'm sorry for late reply I was in vacation ..everything is good now I rooted it very well and installed twrp ,I start using CyanogenMod 12.1 and it work well .I tried first cm 13 but it has issues like no sound in calls I tried to find solution for that but didn't work . so I installed cm 12.1 and I didn't noticed much differences between them so I'm happy with this cm 12.1 . thanks Again ur the best. Cheers.
