Halo everyone
just to let everyone knows
i've updated my previous rom to XXUFNF4 (malaysia XME) via ota
it was rooted before but the latest update not supported by towel root
hope GeoHot or somebody else could work around with this latest update
really hope to root my n3 without tripping knox
UPDATE :
today i successfully rooted NF4 with knox 0x0
I'm already on NF1, can I downgrade, root and update without losing data and installed apps?
My plan is:
1) Use Odin to flash NE6 to existing NF1 (with apps)
2) Towelroot
3) Use Mobile Odin to flash to NF1.
If this works, what should I choose in Mobile Odin e.g. keep root AND / OR SuperSU Survival mode?

I have a stock NF1 and not supported by Towelroot. Singapore ROM, How did you get yours done?
Hi.
Geohot released a rooting method for most android phones, and it uses an apk to obtain root (dead simple too, push one button, no need for other tools and workarounds). It does not touch KNOX or the BOOT-LOADER so your warranty should be fine.
You can get it from the official website, or from the XDA thread.
I ran it on my n9005 - Europe - unlocked phone.
I am on official 4.4.2 N9005OXXENB1
Kernel 3.4.0-636608 (12.02.2014)
Steps taken by me (21.06.2014):
1. Download the tr.apk
2. Turn off re-lock and app security.
3. Run the tr.apk, hit make it rain.
4. Install SU from Playstore, update it, reboot phone.
5. Check root
5.b. Success!
:good:
NOTES & ISSUES:
1. After rooting, I am unable to do a full device encryption. (if you unroot it works properly)
Workaround for issue nr. 1: Do a full unroot, reboot, make sure you have TowelRoot installed, but do not root just yet, encrypt the phone, do a reboot, launch TowelRoot, root, and you are good to go.
To decrypt your phone, you will need to unroot, then reboot, and proceed with the decryption process.
2. On ROM 4.4.2 official n9005xxuend3 with kernel 3.4.0-1168347dpi@SWDD5623 #1 MON APR 14 17:32:48 KST 2014, using TowelRoot, results in System Status: Custom
Possible fix for issue nr. 2:
- Enter BOOT-LOADER (from power off, power on while pressing volume up + home) and do a Cache Wipe
- Another possible fix has been posted in the thread, and you can read it here. Also here and hehe.
3. It seems TowelRoot, does not work on n9000. SOURCE IS HERE

I unrooted fron towelroot.Knox is fine.Device status is custom.How can i fix it? (GT-i9505).Clearing the cache didnt work.I uninstalled all root apps and did un-root with super-su.Thank you.
I think u need to download the stock firmware and reflash to make that custom go... U can get that from Sam mobile and use Odin to flash..
Ps I don't think this msg fits in this thread..
I am not a total noob but i am afraid to do that.Sorry for the message, I am new here.
This is the last message i post here.I see that when i am rooted, its official.After i unroot it is custom.Should i leave it rooted? Knox 0x0.Flashing a stock rom... Wd never trigger Knox if u worry.. Use triangle away for counters and ur phone wd be new as ever..
So I was rooted via Towelroot before I received an OTA update. After the update my phone was unrooted. I tried rooting again via Towelroot but says my device isn't supported. Help pls
