Hello all,
I've searched all over XDA and Google, to give me definitive answer about issue i am about to raise, i rooted and put custom roms on all my previous samsung/htc devices, and WAS about to do the same for my Note 3 (its a beastly device, and doesnt need modifications, however it has been a routine for me to root and put custom roms into any devices that i've used)
Now the issue is this:
Yes, i've read about KNOX security system that Samsung has implemented, which would trip a counter and supposedly locked the bootloader of the phone, i've also read that due to the e-fuse that has been implemented, my Note 3 internals could be damaged due to it (?), and also i wouldnt be able to go back to the old version/bootloader as it will be parmanently locked by Samsung if i flash using Odin.
Do take note..that my Note 3 is not under warranty..so if KNOX triggers, it doesnt matter for me , as i wont be going to my local phone shop or official Samsung Officials (there isnt one here in my country) if anything would happen to my device. However i do need to know if its gonna mess with my device due to the e-fuse.
My questions are these..
1) If i root it, using CF's method as i usually do..and will definately put Custom Rom in it...and that will trigger KNOX for sure..will it destroy the internals? say the MOBO..and the phone will be rendered useless and become an expensive paperweight (i dont have warranty, so no replacements)
2) If i use for e.g Omega Rom which released two versions, one, with 4.3 JB and one, with 4.4 KitKat...will i be able to go back and forth for e.g 4.4 to 4.3 as well as jumping to different custom roms with diffrent Android versions?! as i usually do with me previous devices
Thanks and i will definately delete this thread once i'm fully convinced that rooting , putting roms should be avoided or ''Since you dont care about tripping knox, go ahead and do it as ur previous devices'' kinda answer..
Truly Sorry if you guys come across this question already..i've searched for it and come to no avail.. this is my last resort. Thnks XDA and everyone.:good:

Firstly wrong section - should go to Q&A
1) -- Well you can mess up if you don't follow the right methods (not hard)
2) you can only be on one, if you use 4.3 BL you can't use 4.4 and vice versa... once you go to 4.4 you cannot downgrade back to 4.3 unless you have an N900w8
Generally, rooting/custom ROM's won't hurt your device, just make sure you have the right ROM/Kernel and make the proper backups if needed.
Disable Reactivation Lock, and read about backing up your EFS and how to get out of it if it goes mad (which it sometimes does at random)
I think Radicalisto didn't make it clear enough: I'm not aware of tripped Knox flag affecting anything else on the phone except for warranty and inability to use Knox software. Any type of phone issues would probably be due to user error, or loaded software, not the flag itself.

Thanks for answering first of all..will defo hit the thnx button..
for the 1) i always make sure i read the instructions and follow steps..no problem there..
2) this one tho..is a bit weird for me..i was able to do it on my note 2..going back and forth 4.3 to 4.1.2 cus i found the 4.1.2 more stable..i guess for note 3 i cant do that anymore? even if use custom roms to up/downgrade?
thnx for ur time..and will take ur advice next time on posting it at the q and a section (still learning)
ON 4.3 you once you go to MJ7 Bootloader you cannot downgrade -- however you can go to ML and MK bootloaders and go back to MJ7 again.
For some reason Samsung blocked a downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4 (as the Note shipped with 4.3 no logical reason to allow 4.2 imo) - but if you choose to move to 4.4. bootloader do be aware it can be buggy on some devices (NEE region also Hong Kong notes have issues) - If you have a read around you will see the issues people are having and not having with stock 4.4.
There's plenty of ROMs for both bootloaders CM works on both and most of the Stock based ROM dev's have moved up to the newest NB* Bootloader from NA* - I flashed 4.4 day it leaked (the next hour to be precise and I have had no issues)

since note 3 came with 4.3 and currently latest stock is 4.4.2. even if u wanna go back to 4.3 from what i read around it is not possible. There are alot of aosp roms and stock rooted roms with all kinds of kernel build for both stock and aosp. Im sure if u were to follow the instructions given and do it diligently surely nthg goes wrong unless u overclock ur phone too high or flashing stuff which weren't meant for ur specific device then nthg to be afraid of. I sure glad i went ahead and root. Coz to me knox is a totally BS. all down to ur own preference. u like it u root it u use it. best is to keep reading different threads.

Okay..so i would only flash 4.4 roms when Im really really convinced that its time for KitKat..but as of right now, i can only play around with 4.3 roms..ok..understood. You've cleared my doubts man, thanks a bunch and i guess its time to root and flash.

I did read somewhere, the e-fuse is like an internal bomb..if i flag it, some sort of ''internal parts destroyer'' would be unleashed and mess up my device. I guess its just a rumour...hopefully.

If it's not humour, there's gonna be a lot of angry Note owners here on XDA -- Some tripped KNOX accidently lol - I wouldn't worry too much in all honesty.
I'm sure using cf root trips knox
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
An e-fuse is just a silicon bridge on the processor that gets burnt out. Once you burn the bridge it can't revert back.
This is technically damaging the internal hardware BUT this is due to Samsung software doing this so I don't see how they can claim we have damaged the hardware.... There should be no other problems resulting from this....
First of all, many people already claim their phones had Knox flag reset to zero by Samsung service centers. Either they're all lying (why?), there are more than one e-fuse inside and Samsung can simply reset software to ignore burned fuse and check next one, or the whole e-fuse story is made up and not true. Personally I lean towards the last possibility, for 2 reasons: e-fuse is permanent so couldn't be reset and if they're using multiple e-fuses then it is not more secure than encrypted software code and also possibly e-fuse could be defeated from tripping: I believe e-fuse needs higher than normal voltage to be burned out (otherwise it could burn accidentally) and that voltage is probably coming on separate rail, I wonder what would happen if one would either cut this high voltage or short it out, just during flag tripping operations.
Secondly many people tripped their Knox flags already, if there was some side effects, we would know about it already.
So i've been searching for a couple days now, but can't seem to find a straight answer.
If i root my note 12.2, will it trip Knox to 0x1, or will knox only trip if i flash a custom rom?
I don't care too much for modding and such, just interested in rooting to remove blaotware. From what i've been seeing though, it looks like knox will trip just by rooting. However i'v seen others say it only tripped after installing custom roms. Maybe im just getting my references mixed up though.
AANNDD if rooting will trip knox, any idea if it will ever be possible to root without buggin knox? I have the note3 and was able to root and keep 0x0. I know they are very different when it comes to kernels, but maybe one day?

I have root, stock recovery, stock firmware, never installed anything custom and KNOX is tripped. AFAIK, no way to achieve root without tripping KNOX, but so worth it to root. I have Exposed installed with Wanam and have my tablet set to Custom instead of Modified so I still get updates. I also have a Note 3 rooted on 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX.
It's not possible to root / flash custom ROMs or recoveries without tripping KNOX. At last for now.
And a bit off topic:
Note 3 was different since @designgears found way (URDLV) to root without triggering KNOX.. But it didn't took very long for Samsung to release a patch for that and downgrading is also impossible. So if you updated your phone via Kies or OTA when that exploit were patched, you got "bootloader of doom" and no way root without triggering KNOX flag (and since downgrading is impossible, you can't go back to "rootable" version). And I'm talking now about international Snapdragon version (since my Note 3 and NP 12.2 are international versions)
One day . . perhaps. .
I'm now on my second Note Pro having lost the first to an act of stupidity. This time around I've purchased a square trade warranty with accidental damage coverage for 2-years and as with the first I'll be rooting this tablet as well (gave it a week to settle in so that I'm sure that there's no hardware issues).
Here's my take on KNOX; Unless there were applications that I relied on that are checking on KNOX or evidence of root to stop me from using them I'm not going to worry myself at all about it. If I'm going to be sending in my device for repair it's going to be for a hardware issue NOT a software one because if I have the knowledge to be doing things like rooting and installing custom recoveries then I should be able to solve my own software issues (most likely through a factory reset if need be). Warranty coverage for hardware defect shouldn't be influenced by software.
wow, thanks for the fast replies guy!
So another quick question. (since muzzy mentioned breaking)
Lets say i root my note, knox trips 0x1, and in 3 months my volume rocker stops working (hardware problem). With other devices, i would call customer support, we troubleshoot for a bit, they decide to send me a new device (refurbished most likely) and i send my broken one to them since im still in warranty time wise. If they receive my note 12 and knox says 0x1, what do they do? Since my warranty is technically void, could they charge me for the tablet they sent me?
i think i just answered my own question as im thinking about it more.
SO knox is specifically SOFTWARE, if something hardware wise go amiss, my warranty is still good?

I installed CF auto root via Odin and it tripped the knox flag.
Bummer =(
oh well, as long as hardware wise, the warranty is fine, i guess its no big deal. Like muzzy said, anything software wise, i can fix. And if rooting trips KNOX and only void software warranty, i don't care too much about that.

Unfortunately this won't work for the P905V (Verizon Variant). I've tried, since it said LTE but it's not for the Verizon LTE version. Still waiting for Root so I can at least install Xposed. I bought my device outright and couldn't care less about tripping KNOX.

The only crappy part is if you get an actual hardware failure it sucks that they invalidate your entire warranty.
KNOX Warranty has nothing to do with the hardware warranty. The Knox warranty flag is there to make sure a device has never been tampered with in a way that could compromise their Knox services. Period.

Those Knox services were the first thing I froze then deleted after root
Huh... im failing at the cache. Those recovery images have sure come in handy. Any tips?
Ive used odin 3.07/3.09 and CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900? Im seeing a bunch of people getting stuck on the cache.img.
EDIT * USB debugging is on btw
EDIT* Got it! I unplugged ALL my other usb devices and changed the port i was using... stupid fix, but it worked.
Goodbye knox and all you other battery sucking memory hogging pieces of bloatware!
Thanks for you great help and suggestions! Greatly appreciated =D
Once the flag is tripped you can't even install Knox anymore

I REALLY don't care for knox anyways. Basically what i did right after rooting was open TB and uninstall everything that started with K and ended with NOX... removed a totall of 48 other programs too. Running smooth with no errors =D
Couldn't be happier.... well i could be happier if i could actually transfer files from my computer to my tablet... that would be nice. Good thing i have a card reader right?

Hey, can you post your list of programs you uninstalled? I would love to take a look at it and compare it to the other threads about this, but I don't think anyone posted that many. I'm trying to improve my battery life, right now the screen takes the most and exchange service the next most.
On KNOX, I can't find anything at all that I would ever use it for so it didn't matter to me. Seems like Samsung could make it so that they could still have KNOX but allow us to root all the same. They even talk about CF root in their literature not installing a rootkit so they are not worried about it like other rooting methods that don't trip the KNOX circuit and DO instal a rootkit.
I sold my p905 a while back, going to get a p900 however, the biggest factor is able to delete files on the sd card. I know I have to root it, however, from what I read there's issues and you can no longer root it?.

I love how that guide says all variants and then makes no mention of the P907. I would love to be able to use a custom recovery. Unless the P907 falls under the LTE moniker even though the model number is different?
Yes, TWRP works with P900
I went through this a week ago (with some help) and once I figured out how to get TWRP 2.8 to flash using Odin the process of rooting and installing a custom rom was easy. There is a thread a little lower on this forum that goes through the process.

Since there's this thread... How about KNOX? Is there a way to root P900 without tripping KNOX flag? I don't care about KNOX software itself, but since here in Poland warranty problems are left to the decision of the service, it is quite important for me not to give them opportunity to refuse a repair (if something happens, which - I hope - never will).

Are you having problems or just too afraid to try it?
Not sure if you realize this but one of the reasons people aren't answering you is because those of us who have rooted do so and never look back. I wish I could tell you for sure that it will work with the current version of the firmware but I cant . . I rooted 8 months ago and haven't looked back. I cant speak for others but I'm not about to flash stock and go through the whole thing again just to update an old thread so I suspect that this is part of the reason that there's no updated guide. For devices that get a ton of development things are different but this niche device doesn't have a flurry of development activity surrounding it so . . .
One thing I can say is that it is my experience that if CF Autoroot fails the worst thing you're left with is a tripped knox and the stock rom without root. I say this because I was one of the unlucky ones who had to struggle through multiple attempts to get CF Autoroot to work. Eventually it did but during that time I had multiple shots at it and each time I was able to at least recover to the point of getting stock OS and recovery working again.
I see no reason why you can't achieve root on a SM-P900. If you can't do it with CF Autoroot then just download one of Gatsrom's images of stock rooted, flash TWRP using Odin (with auto reboot option disabled), boot into TWRP and do a full wipe and flash Gatsrom's image. You'll lose your setup and apps but you'll get root.

Well said mate! Well said.
If someone's gonna root their tablet, especially one of this caliber & price point. Then they should know how to recover it back to stock on their own. Concerning the tripping of Knox, who cares! Samsung won't turn down a hardware issue covered under warranty just because you decided to load another ROM. That topic has been discussed to death in another thread. If your going to root this thing, then root it and live on! LoL ?
Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!

Not here in Poland...
Sorry for posting this, I hate starting new threads but I have come to a point where I have had no luck. I havnt rooted for a few years, last time I did was my S2 (Epic 4g Touch 2). My terminology might be off a bit I apologize in advance.
So a couple days ago I decided to root my S5. I was at NK4 stock and never rooted. So I attempted to flash to the NE5 so I could do the towelroot. That worked where I was able to get root and I got all those weird fail messages but I got root access. Then when I tried to go back to Nk4, I kept getting stuck on the boot screen when flashing back to NK4. My phone I would consider to be in a soft brick status but I was able to flash back to NE5 and atleast get to the previous step. Now I am unable to NE5. I try my phone on and it gets stuck on the yellow "Sprint Spark" screen. Somehow I did trip the knox counter, which I am not too concerned with if I am able to get my phone functional again.
Could someone guide in the right direction? Ask me some more questions and I will try to clarify. I am a little rusty when it comes to this stuff again but I have certainly studied everything before I tried attempting this. I used Odin3.09 to do everything.
EDIT: What can I do to start over?
Flash the full nk4 tarball in Odin
Since you did trip Knox you can use cf auto root to gain root
Or even better you can Odin the leaked 5.0 garwynn posted in Android Development. Which also can be rooted with cf auto root

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/rom-sm-g900p-ni3-modem-kernel-t2886483
This seems to have gotten my phone functional again. So currently I am unrooted at 4.4.2 NCB. What steps would you advise doing from here forward? I have already tripped knox.
I do appreciate all the work everyone puts in here and the support. Its great honestly.
Edit: --5.0 seems enticing

This seems to have gotten my phone functional again. So currently I am unrooted at 4.4.2 NCB. What steps would you advise doing from here forward? I have already tripped knox.
I do appreciate all the work everyone puts in here and the support. Its great honestly.
Edit: --5.0 seems enticing

Since you did trip Knox you can use cf auto root to gain root
Or even better you can Odin the leaked 5.0 garwynn posted in Android Development. Which also can be rooted with cf auto root
So I'm going back to stock from TEKXodus with a SkyHigh kernel as I have decided to sell my N5 and go back to the Note 4. There just isn't enough development for the N5, and that's not to take away from the devs that have put their time and effort in, but I just finally accepted that CM13 and/or AOSP ROMs will never be coming to the N5. So I'm selling my 5, and have come to see that there aren't many Android phone rooting/ROMming people in my area. EVERYONE has this Apple-induced fear of buying a rooted phone. I guess I get it since you never know how experienced the previous owner was. I'd be pissed if I bought a new paperweight for $500 too. Lol. BUt my questions are, if I go back to stock COK5, will my Knox counter still be 0 x 1 and the settings page say "custom" on firmware? Assuming I use Odin, will a stock COK5 .tar file also flash a stock kernel and recovery as well or will I still have TWRP? I have looked for the answers to these everywhere but haven't had any luck. Some help here would be great if anyone has experience with this. Any other tips would help too. Thanks guys, it's been fun, see you back on the Note 4.
Just odin to stock. Then factory reset.
Knox will still be tripped, but they'd have to boot into recovery to check.
You will have stock kernel and recovery.
No it won't say custom anymore.
Also samsung pay won't work after root.

You will also have a wake lock caused by tripping Knox if you are on the stock kernel.
Also don't forget Samsung Pay. Personally that might be grounds for an unhappy customer because it is one of the features.
Also for the op, the Note 5 has a dedicated cm dev working on Cm13 for the S6 and Note 5.
