Hi assist team..
I want to root my phone, which is..
Model Number: SM-N900
Android Version: 4.4.2 (currently still using original update, and have KNOX)
Baseband Version: N900DXUDNC1
Kernel Version: 3.4.39-1185114 [email protected] #1 Mon Apr 14 19:33:46 KST 2014
Build Number: KOT49H.N900XXUDND1
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SM-N900_4.4.2_0011
and I had look at this thread (i was using note 2 N7100 before, and always using CF AutoRoot by ChainFire too)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46098951&postcount=3
what I wanna ask is:
1.When I open knox app on the app list, it has "install" button, but in application manager there are some knox (com.sec.know.eventsmanager, KLMS agent, KNOX, Knox notification manager, and KNOX store).
is that mean i had my KNOX on? if yes, should I remove using Knox Removal?
or by uninstall in "about knox" in knox app (I read it in another thread about how to remove knox),
or can I just flash the CFAutoRoot and there gonna be an options to disable the knox (I forgot where I read about this..)?
2.I searched and read at that thread, some people using the same file and same way (I assume they use the correct way to root too) but some got success rooting their gadget, some got fail (like stuck in odin rooting process or bootloop, so they need to fix the firmware using samsung kies). so, is that normal to have like gambling outcome (if you lucky get success, and can be fail too)? Or, if I follow the instruction correctly, I won't get the chance to fail in rooting my SM-N900?
I already tried to read all over that thread to search this but no result in finding the cause of some people got fail even they used correct file and correct way. Thanks a lot for the help
Hi!
You've done your homework! Very good to see!
You have 8 posts under your belt....2 more and you can post in the thread you linked. That's the best place to ask those questions.
I suggest maybe browsing the Q&A section for your device and contribute a couple more constructive posts, or questions....then you're set to ask in that thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help
Or you can start start a thread in Q&A for your questions. Honestly, best to get to 10 posts and ask in the thread you linked tho.
Good luck!

I am a total noob..sry folks but there are so many forums that it only confused me more. I just bought a While Samsung Galacy S2 from Sprint.
Model : SPH-D710
Android version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
My question should I be looking for information on rooting the phone in the Samsung Galaxy S2 4G.
Also can I get simple instructions on how to root. The couple of stickys on this forum say, you should have root.....
Just want to start from the basics,
1/ how to root the phone
2/ install Odin (or is this used only for rooting)
3/ CWM mentioned everywhere what is the purpose and when do I install
4/ I would also like to try the new ROM's
5/ How, when and what to use to backup the original phone before attempting the above.
Hope this does not sound so stupid, I will continue to browse the forums.
Thanks.
First I wouldn't flash anything from this particular forum as this is strictly for Samsung galaxy s 4g phones NO OTHERS!
FAILING TO HEED THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN A BRICKED HANDSET!

Ok, maybe I've posted on the wrong section, but regarding the device, there isn't a Pocket 2 forum section here, so I posted on the most similar I've found. Is that really a good reason to make a report?
I read the rules once, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember where it says "report a user when he posts a thread of the device X on device Y section if the device X section doesn't exist".
Anyway, thanks for reporting me and I still need help and about this thread, I will wait the moderators tell me if I am wrong or not.
If I am wrong, I hope they point me where to post the thread (or move this one).

I don't want to be mean but posting a question on the development selection is not allowed.
Anyway, I make a research and there is no way to root your device (yet!!!).
You can try Kingo root

I've tried that already.
Like I said, I guess I've made a mistake by creating on this section, but I think I can't delete a thread (can I?).
About "a way to root", I don't know any yet, but I'm hoping there is, that's why I've created a thread (after a lot of searching).
First of all, thanks for moving the thread.
I still need help. Does anyone knows a way to root this device?
I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!
Thread closed.
I've been attempting to root for a while now with no success. Is rolling back a viable option or is there another way? Currently i'm on 4.4.4. Please provide detailed instructions if there is another way. I've rooted my previous phone with towelroot, but it did not work on this phone. I'll update if i need to list any other info.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Your first step should be to visit your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5. They are the experts on your device. Then look through and read some of the threads in the general forum. You'll probably find most of your answers there. If you don't, then go to the Q&A forum and look through this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697270. And if you still can't find an answer then ask in that forum.
Good luck and welcome to XDA.

Thanks, Let me try that.
Also where do I get the Android 5.X to convert my existing 4.1.2 to 5.X? Is there any procedure to be followed during doing this?
Hi!
Here is your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
The development sections have many roms to choose from, assuming you have installed a custom recovery.
If not, I suggest reading the guides and frequently asked questions threads in the General and Q&A sections... Usually near the top of the first pages.
There's a lot to read and learn about here... You'll need to dedicate time for this hobby.
If you have further questions , you can open a thread in the Q&A section.
Good luck!
