Thank you for all your work mate, I know how anoying is to upload 1.6 GB every time

Should we wait for this or continue with your custom rom since it has all N3 stuff and features..since its new so i guess it wont have all features and especially air command.
I am asking this because my bandwidth wont allow me to download after 15gb and i've already used 13gb(dr.ketan's custom rom is already in downlaoding queue)

#Respect
We will reading OP very clearly Before flash it. We understand the risk factor.. Heartfelt thanks bro.. No words to express our feeling .

Seems way too risky with KNOX integrated into this.

if you get cold feet after flashing mj2 rom before entering download mode to flash the new bootloader you can just get back into phillz recovery and restore your last nan i guess,....you have time to decide till then

Mj2? There was a leak I missed?

Thx u very much! Our team still w8 for u @namfat

this is kind of scary. never happen to me before. i was excited to try out the new leak, but having read dr's instruction. i felt uneasy...feels like having an icrap device which can't be downgraded either...

My only mumbling in my head now is..."will the current Note 3 mods work on this pre-release?

There is no reason for not to work

When Samsung will release Kernel Source for this 4.3?

I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM & I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip

The following is not a root method in the "traditional" sense, e.g. Saferoot, Kingo. This is a workaround to our inability to root KitKat 4.4.2. However the end result is a Fully Functioning, 100% Stock, Rooted, NB1 Device. (See Post# 2 for "KeepRoot"OTA.zip Method). Proceed at Your Own Risk! (Thanks to @ted77usa @rebel1699 @Maribou @dave5777 @dolph8886 @Surge1223 @jeboo for discoveriing it was possible to downgrade from MK2 to NB1. Special thanks to @rebel1699 for figuring out how to flash a 4.4 SS Custom ROM on our device. Without them this workaround would not be possible).
**Closing my thread now that a direct rooting method is available. Congrats to Everyone mentioned above for your accomplishments while we waited for this!** : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
**Note**: The process below has been proven to work without exception when the instructions are followed to the letter. Should you run into trouble please consider re-reviewing the instructions to identify your error before requesting assistance. Thank you.
Get the latest I337 firmware here: I337UCUFNC1
Donations Welcome!
Here it is: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM
And here: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROMwBL (This version contains the NB1 bootloader. MK2 bootloader users will not be able to go back to factory stock MK2 after flashing).
1. Place the I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM in the root of your ext sdcard.
*2. Download the I337_Downgrade_to_MK2 file, extract the .tar and flash in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+) to obtain semi-functioning(no-wifi) MK2.
3. Use your favorite root method to root MK2, e.g. Saferoot, Kingo Root App, then install the latest Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk.
4. Boot into Safestrap recovery, perform an "Advanced Wipe", and wipe everything except ext sdcard.
5. Flash the ROM zip in the "Stock Slot." Once complete press "Home," then reboot into "Download Mode".
6. Flash the I337_NB1_Stock_Kernel in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
*MK2 users can skip Step 2.
Once complete the phone will apply an update to cache, then reboot and pause on the white AT&T splash screen for about 1-2 minutes before completely rebooting. Done!
- MK2 users can use Safestrap's Backup/Restore function to backup and restore User Data prior to and after flashing the ROM. Make sure and thank @loganfarrell for discovering this very useful feature.
- In general, to flash a different 4.4.2 Safestrap Custom ROM after flashing this ROM reboot into Safestrap recovery, perform an advanced wipe, and wipe everything but ext sdcard. Then flash the new ROM in the "Stock Slot" and reboot (Refer to the other ROM's dedicated thread for any additional requirements or for assistance. Please limit the discussion in this thread to the 100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM and the KeepRoot OTA zip).
- To go back to factory stock, un-rooted NB1 flash the NB1 4.4.2 Stock Odin .tar in the PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
- Those that never took the MK2 to NB1 update can return to factory stock MK2 by flashing the MK2 All-in-One Full Odin .tar in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Known Issue: MK2 bootloader users will experience a lockscreen settings issue. The issue can be resolved by flashing the FMLD_Bootloader in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+). You will still be able to revert back to factory stock MK2. Caution!: NB1 & NC1 bootloader users should not flash this file as it may hardbrick your phone.
I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_TetherAddOn
Instructions:
1. After flashing and booting into I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM,
2. Place the AddOn in ext sdcard.
3. Reboot into Safestrap recovery and flash the AddOn in Stock Slot (Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing)
4. Reboot. Done!

I337UCUFNB1_MK2-to-NB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip Method
This alternative "Keep Root" method uses a modified version of the official MK2 to NB1 OTA Update.zip to upgrade while maintaining User Data and Root Access! The file is flashed in Safestrap and the end result is a 100% Stock, Rooted, NB1 Device. Proceed at your own risk! Thanks to @jeboo for giving me the idea to develop this method!
**Prerequisite** This method requires that your MK2 system is 100% stock except for root and Safestrap. The update will fail if any MK2 system files have been modified or deleted, e.g. thru Xposed, etc. You must first restore the stock files or reflash back to stock MK2 and re-root.
Here it is: I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip
And here: I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTAwBL.zip (This version contains the NB1 bootloader. MK2 bootloader users will not be able to go back to factory stock MK2 after flashing).
1. Place the I337UCUFNB1_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip in the root of your ext sdcard.
2. Follow steps 2 - 3 from Post# 1 to downgrade to MK2, root, and install the latest Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk .
3. Boot into Safestrap recovery but Do Not Wipe!.
4. Flash the I337UCUFNB1_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip in the "Stock Slot" and once complete press "Home" and reboot into "Download Mode".
5. Last, flash the I337_NB1_Stock_Kernel in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Once complete the phone will reboot to the white AT&T splash screen then "optimize apps" before completely rebooting. Done!
Known Issue: Safestrap.apk will force close after updating to 4.4.2 using this method, however Safestrap recovery will continue to function. Optional: to manually uninstall Safestrap recovery use Es File Explorer to delete system/etc/safestrap and system/bin/e2fsck then rename system/bin/e2fsck.bin to e2fsck (save these files if you wish to manually reinstall Safestrap at a later time).
I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_TetherAddOn
Instructions:
1. After flashing and booting into I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM,
2. Place the AddOn in ext sdcard.
3. Reboot into Safestrap recovery and flash the AddOn in Stock Slot (Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing)
4. Reboot. Done!

Nice bro. Easy to follow and all. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the issues people are having.

@muniz_ri ur saying here to put the file in the PDA slot correct which mean using odin3 v 1.85 correct. If so that might be my problem in the past with this down grade method I used odin3 v 3.09 and flashed the pit and AP files from @ted77usa downgrade method. Do you think that could be my problem. And again thank you so much for all your help lately I know it has to be annoying but thank you so much for walking me through so much stuff because of you I feel very confident in doing this so thank you for all your help. Also thanks you to all the other dev's that I have been such a pain in the but to hahah

No problem. I believe Odin changed the name of the PDA slot to AP in version 3.09. I use version 3.08 but whichever version you use you don't need to add the pit file. Just follow the above process to the letter and you should be fine. Good luck.

ok ok. i think i messed up,,, I installed safe root instead of safe strap is it the same? should i unnstall? and how do i boot into it.

You need safe root to install safestrap. After you use saferoot, install the safestrap apk and launch the safestrap app.

Root for SM-T237P

Just got my hands on a sprint galaxy tab 4. Its a decent little device. Nowhere as good as my Nexus 7 (2013) but still good. Tried to use towel root but ofcourse since the kernel date is Wed July 9th the app isnt working. Has anyone rooted theirs? This thing was just released by sprint today and this one just kind of ended up in my hand for free with no contract. Anyone know anything that can be used to root this thing? Thank you in advance!!!!

I need this also...jut got mine today.

Strange I was having a problem playin my music from SD with any music player I put at it. Found out that google was the problem (what a bummer). Anyways I have a

What version of Towelroot are you using? The current version on https://towelroot.com/ is V3 you might have more success with V2 or V1 if V3 doesn't work for you.

I suppose what I said was false to an extent. I can now play music via my external SD card + videos.
What I cannot do is move files,rename files,delete files.
I'm not sure if you were able to do this before running towelroot.
But after I was able to play things from SD via any player (jetaudio, playerpro, mxplayer)
Let me know if you were able to play music before...when I clicked on music files
located on my external SD prior to install it would skip each file
(running through the album till it reached the end) not playing.

Tab 4 SM-T237P root problems
I NEED to get this fixed.
By the way to the previous poster with the Music on SD card problem. There is relief! ROOT! If we can root then we can write to SD.
Can you believe that On these tabs with 4.4.2 GOOGLE HAS DISABLED WRITE ON EXTERNAL SD CARDS! Ridiculos!
I will post a link later if you would like to complain about this issue. Apparently they set up a page o complain about this one issue.
Anyway, I have tried Towelroot V1, V2 and V3
I have tried the Vroot method, Ringo and others that I will add later.
Don't brick your device by using one of the other Tab 4 methods! Make sure all new root methods for the Tab 4 7.0 7.0 SM-T237P!
There are so many other out there but they will not work, at least everything I have extensively tried!
-Ben

Anything?
So does anyone have any news on this front? Still not rooted and I need to start moving dropbox and music folders to the SD card ASAP! Please post if anything has worked for you on this device.
thanks everyone,
-Ben

Root method for Sprint Tab 4 7.0 7.0 SM-T237P
Until we get a custom recovery or the Firmware, Stock Tars from samsung so we can flash back the stock recovery just remember there is no fix if you mess something up. There is no returning to stock and no nandroid backups to restore so proceed with this method only if you are comfortable in what you are doing!!!
I have found a way to obtain root on the Sprint Tab 4 7.0 7.0 SM-T237P. Beware this method will cause you yo loose stock recovery and since we have no custom recovery yet you will be without a recovery. But you will have root. Also be aware this will trip the knox counter also.
Instructions"
1. Download this auto root file by chainfire CF-Auto-Root-milletlte-milletltexx-smt335.zip
2. Enable usb debugging in developer options.
3. Then boot your tablet to download mode
4. Use odin included in this zip and flash the CF-Auto-Root-milletlte-milletltexx-smt335.tar.md5 in the PDA section leave odin open
5.The tablet will reboot to recovery and fail and then it will return to download mode. click the seset button in odin
5. Then flash the twrp_2.7.1.0_SM-T230.tar.md5 in the PDA section the phone will reboot normally now and you will have root.
6. Remember this recovery does not work for our phone it will just allow the phone to boot normally so if you try to boot to recovery you will loop to download mode. To fix this just simply use odin again to reflash the twrp_2.7.1.0_SM-T230.tar.md5 and then phone will boot normally.

Nice, i knew it will only be a matter of time before we get root....will try this out and report back

[How-To] Update to I337_OK2 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot

**You can begin the following process from any 4.4.x Build/ROM or higher but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the AT&T I337 S4 Variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Downloads:
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip
Attention! Set your screen timeout to 10mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set Reboot setting to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the I337_OK2_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA/AP slot. Done!
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional:
- I337_OK2_TetherAddOn.zip
- I337_OC3_Batch_Debloater (Customizable)
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Awesome
Amazing! you done it again @muniz_ri downloaded and installed perfectly!

Is there a way to root without having to flash back to nj4? I'm already on OC3 and a non-odin method like on nj4 would be pretty nice.

muniz_ri said:
Instructions:
1. Extract the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup from the .rar archive and place it into the following folder: ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxx, fyi...the name of this folder will vary. If the folder does not already exist you must first use safestrap to create a nandroid backup and Safestrap will create the folder for you.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
3. From the main menu press "Restore," then select and restore the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup.
4. Once complete from the main menu press "Reboot," then reboot into "Download" mode.
5. Last, flash the I337_OC3_Stock_Partitions using Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+) and reboot. Done!
Upon reboot the Safestrap Recovery splash screen will flash a few times before pausing on the AT&T splash screen for about 2 minutes before completely rebooting. **You will no longer be able to access Safestrap Recovery from 5.0 (see notes below for workaround)**
Optional Tethering AddOn:
1. Place the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Install," then select and install the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn(Do not wipe prior to flashing!).
3. Reboot. Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC3 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery by flashing back the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel (reflash the I337_OC3_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).
4. The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

[N900] ALL-IN-ONE Guide[Root/Recovery/ROM/Knox Reset(claim warranty)/Revert-to-Stock]

Note: There are a lot of guides all over XDA-Fourm for the things that i am going to share in this thread, I am just trying to get all the things at one place and in easy manner, so i request you to please don't ask why another thread . I have mirrored all the files in this thread to my own Drive links so that it would be available till i die , you can find the original links in References at the end.
I am just a normal user, been through all of the things mentioned below just like many of you, but there are still users who are new to all these stuff. So i thought of getting all the things at one place and write the steps in a layman's language.If there is something wrong and needs to be changed, do mention that.
This guide is for the Exynos version of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 only which includes:
How to Root
How to Install recovery
How to Flash a new ROM
How to install Xposed on TouchWiz based ROMs (5.0 and 5.0.2)
How to Reset KNOX & Revert to Stock (to claim warranty)
Downloads:
1. Odin v3.07(odin application- needed to flash stuff)
2. USB Drivers(drivers for windows)
3. 'CF-Auto-Root' file by @Chainfire(to root)
4. Bootloader to Reset KNOX counter
5. TWRP Recovery (Use this when you have to flash CM based ROMS)
6. CWM 6.0.7.0 OR Philz Touch 6.47.7 (use these when you have to flash TouchWiz based ROMs)
7. Stock Firmware - from Sammobile Mirror for N900XXUEBOE3_N900ODDEBOB2_INS.zip (Indian Version)
8. XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 (Tried and tested)
9. xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-generic OR xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-exynos.zip (Works with the latest N900ZSUEBOK3 firmware)
Step 0. Backup
Take backup of your contents (contacts, messages, images, videos, etc.)
Step 1. Getting things ready
Download & Extract and Install USB Drivers 1.5.20.
Download & Extract Odin v3.07.
Download CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.tar.md5 (make sure you get a file with .md5 extension).
Step 2. Connection
Run Odin on your PC (as administrator).
Turn off your phone.
Keeping the volume down and home button pressed, turn on your phone.
Get into download mode by pressing volume up after you are asked on the phone screen.
After all the above, connect phone with USB cable to PC.
One of the box will turn yellow and confirm that the phone is connected
Step 3. Root (KNOX will show change in counter, but you can always reset that when you need to claim warranty)
Choose PDA in Odin and select the .md5 file extracted in step 1 (don't change anything else in odin)
Press “Start”, the process will complete in few seconds and phone will automatically restart.
Congrats!! You rooted your phone, you will get a SuperSu app in the app drawer.
Step 4. Custom Recovery
In Odin choose PDA and select any of the two recovery as per your need:
twrp-2.8.7.0-ha3g.tar
OR
n900-cwm6.0.7.0.tar (philz zip file is not odin compatible, you can flash it within the recovery)
the press “Start”
Step 4.1 Full Backup (Similar to Restore Point - only after flashed a custom recovery)
Turn off the phone
Keeping the volume up and home button pressed, turn on the phone, you will get to recovery.
Go to Backup & Restore and choose backup to sdcard or backup to extSdCard (will take about 10-15 minutes)
Now you have a restore point, you can go back to this state whenever you want.
Step 5. Flashing a new ROM (if you want to)
Although you must always refer the individual ROM thread as they may have some different steps, but this is a general way to flash a ROM
Download the ROM (zip file) and copy to internal/external storage on your phone.
Turn off the phone
Keeping the volume up and home button pressed, turn on the phone, you will get to recovery.
Follow as per your choice of clean or dirty flash (in the Note)
Then choose install zip, select your ROM, then “yes”
reboot the phone.
Done. You have a new ROM
Note: Clean install/flash means - wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (sometimes wipe system too) then install ROM.
Dirty install/flash means – direct install without wiping any partition
Step 6. Install Xposed -only for 5.0 or 5.0.2 ROMS (if you want to, you will need a deodexed rom, won't work on stock odexed roms)
Download the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 & xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-generic and copy both the files to your phone (internal or sd-card).
Install the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk but don't run the app.
Restart your phone into Recovery Mode. (turn off then pressing volume up + home and turn on)
choose install a zip, select the xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-generic.zip or xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-exynos.zip
reboot your phone. (you will get android is upgrading which will take a while)
Step 7. Revert to stock with KNOX counter as 0x0 and system state as Official (you can claim warranty comfortably)
a. Download and Extract the bootloader.zip
b. Run Odin
c. Turn off your phone.
d. Keeping the volume down and home button pressed, turn on your phone.
e. Get into download mode by pressing volume up after you are asked on the phone screen.
f. Connect phone with USB cable to PC.
g. Choose PDA in Odin and select the Bootloader.tar file. (don't change anything else on odin)
h. Press “Start”, the process will complete in few seconds and phone will automatically restart.
i. Go to download mode and check if the Knox has turned back to 0.
j. Now choose PDA on odin and select the official firmware (download from the above provided link) and press Start
k. After completion of the process let the device start but don't setup the device, just turn it off.
l. Reboot to stock recovery by pressing vol up + home + power and wipe data/cache and flash the firmware again, once flashing the firmware is completed enter download mode and check if current binary and system status has turned to official. If not repeat the process from step j.

yes, you can get the KNOX to 0 whenever you want (there is nothing like hardware fuse). i have done that thrice
just download the bootloader file and the original firmware.
Also you can check out the referenced thread, users have posted their knox status photos

You don't have to change anything in PIT, all you need to do is select PDA and choose the file.
