I do not think so, since it is related to flashing (changing official software)
Factory reset it is an official option from samsung

That's right, I took the gamble and factory reseted the device without triggering KNOX and root persisted also.

Thankfully, the WiFi unstable issue which I intended the Factory reset to solve, indeed seems to have subsided.

Now I'm titanium restoring everything back...hopefully won't restore the issue as well.

Restore proceeded smoothly. WiFi problems seem to remain gone.

Weirdest thing is, whenever I upload a specific jpg from my pc (windows FTP) to the phone (ES Explorer FTP server) the wifi on note 3 crashes mid file.

But it's always that file.

Why?

Is this a wifi bug or es ftp bug?

The problem seems to still exist after some longer testing. But the following seems to have almost completely fixed it:

Like many others, I have this pop up in the notification area few times every hour that is really annoying. Never had such notification from note 2, so played around with my router & phone settings, and so far has found this method that worked for me, hope it'll work for some of you experiencing similar issue.

In short, basically I just put my note 3 IP in my router's DHCP reservation list then manually set my note 3 network using static IP in the wifi setting.

Here are some details (router ip/192.168.10.1; note 3 ip/192.168.10.188):
  1. Turn off Auto Connect & Auto network switch under Advanced wifi settings
  2. Connect to my router normally using DHCP, I'm using WPA2
  3. Login to my router and put my note 3 IP in the DHCP reservation list. each router is different, mine is TRENDnet TEW-633GR, so it's in Basic -> Network Settings
  4. Under note3's wifi networks, long press the connected wifi network, click "Modify entwork confi", check "Show advanced options", under "IP Settings" select "Static", enter my gateway(192.168.10.1) and my note 3 IP address(192.168.10.188). For DNS, I use Open DNS(208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220), then click on "Save"

I've been on this setting for the past 3-4 days and haven't seen a single unstable network notification message. Hope this helps.

Camera FC after updating to MJ7

Hi guys. Have any of you had problems with the camera app after updating via this method? IF so how did you resolve it.

After updating to MJ7 the camera fails to open with the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". I've tried closing the app and clearing data but it doesn't help. Even tried clearing the galleries data. I've also noticed that mm-qcamera-daemon is showing big battery drain now. I've never seen this before in the Battery section.

Any help would be appreciated. I would like to avoid a factory reset as there just too much to restore.

If it helps I also tried a third party app Camera Zoom FX which at least gave a better error message of something along the lines of it couldn't communicate with the camera module. Thanks.

Does anyone know , when I OTA update my JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7 version, what will my new AP, CP and CSC? I like to look for the zip file before OTA update. Thank you

Ok, so I've followed the procedure using the following firmware.

PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005TELDMJ2
Modem: N9005XXUDMJ7

Unfortunately, I don't have root and when I dial *#1234# to check the firmware versions, I get an error message saying "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".
Does URDLV work on this version of firmware? What does this error message mean?
I used URDLV on my previous firmware successfully (N9005XXUBMI7_N9005TELBMI2_N9005XXUBMI6_HOME.tar.md5).

*edit*
I have read a lot of this thread (but not all) and from what I've read, I suspect MJ7 can't be rooted using URDLV but I just want confirmation. I did have issues with the modem not flashing, which caused the wifi to not turn on, but that was resolved by extracting the modem.bin file and flashing it separately.

    4.4.2 has been patched, URDLV will NOT work!

    Universal Root de la Vega v0.5
    This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United States License.

    Rooting Method By @designgears & Root App @Chainfire

    What is Universal Root de la Vega?
    It is simply a script to create Root de la Vega for any device that has the necessary hooks. In its current state, it should be considered beta, the code is still very messy and may not work in some cases.

    What devices are supported?
    Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
    Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
    If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

    How to find your AP / CSC (PDA) versions:
    Dial *#1234#

    Prerequisites
    Basic knowledge of how to use terminal and odin or heimdall (this is not a general support thread)
    Odin or Heimdall
    Firmware File (see next section)
    Linux: p7zip
    Windows: Cygwin

    How to find your stock firmware:
    Go to SamMobile and enter your device CSC in the in the black bar search field. (Free account required to download)
    If you cannot find it there, try Google, not my inbox
    After you have downloaded your firmware, make sure unzip it down to the odin tar/tar.md5/exe.

    SM-N900V SM-N900A

    How to use Universal Root de la Vega:
    Open a terminal to the directory containing URDLV.sh (not windows command prompt)
    Code: 
    [B]Usage:[/B] ./URDLV.sh [full|csc] [stock firmware file path]
[B]Example:[/B] ./URDLV.sh csc F:\N900PVPUBMI3_N900PSPTBMI3_SPR.tar.md5
[B]Example:[/B] ./URDLV.sh full F:\OneClick_I537UCUBMI2.exe

full = AP and CSC [I](Creates a single file with both AP and CSC, no bootloaders, modems, etc.)[/I]
csc = CSC only

[stock firmware file path] - needs to be the full file path!
Drag and drop the file into the terminal window to get the full path.

    What file types does Universal Root de la Vega support?
    tar, tar.md5
    exe (odin oneclick, thanks to exodin)

    What's with the license?
    To many kangers on XDA these days... If you don't like it, you can GTFO. :cool:

    Where can I download it?

    By downloading Universal Root de la Vega you agree to the license above and you agree not to distribute files created with Universal Root de la Vega.

    Universal-RDLV_v0.5.7z (1 MB)
    MD5: 465f08e6d57eccdb4a29fbd5f7560a6b

    root_de_la_vega_sdcard.7z (1.3 MB)
    MD5: 3d1d592b397d7b829d86045d9ac40731

    Basic Rooting Instructions
    1. Use Universal Root de la Vega to create a custom firmware (See Post #1)
    2. Boot into bootloader mode
    3. Open Odin or Heimdall and plug your USB cable into your computer and phone
    4. Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the firmware created in step #1
    5. Let your device fully boot after flashing has completed
    6. Copy the contents of root_de_la_vega_sdcard.7z to the root of the internal storage
    7. Reboot (very important!)
    8. After fully booting delete the files from the internal storage that were added previously
    9. Reboot (extremely important!)

    Question & Answer

    "Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?
    It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.

    Can I flash custom recovery/kernel without tripping KNOX flags?
    No.

    Will this set a tripped KNOX flag 0x1 back to 0x0?
    No.

    Will root survive a factory reset?
    Yes, it does.

    Do I need to fully wipe my phone when rooting?
    Not always, most cases it should be fine, but sometimes you get lots of forces closes, the only way to fix it is to flash your csc and let it wipe.

    Can I unroot?
    Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.

    I am getting Force Closes after flashing, how can I fix it?
    Make sure you are flashing the cache(csc) and system(ap) file!

    Prepare :
    1/ download the MK2 firmware and save it into c:\temp - and extract it to c:\temp\MK2_stock
    2/ download the URDLV script and extract it to c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
    3/ Extract the file c:\temp\MK2_stock\N9005XXUDMK2_N9005OXXDMK3_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 to c:\temp\MK2_stock
    4/ MOVE the file c:\temp\MK2_stock\N9005XXUDMK2_N9005OXXDMK3_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 to c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
    5/ delete the files c:\temp\MK2_stock\aboot.mbn AND c:\temp\MK2_stock\cache.img.ext4
    6/ Create a folder called output in the folder c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
    7/ download/save the URDLV rooting file in c:\temp\ and extract it to c:\temp\root_de_la_vega_sdcard


    Follow the below steps on cygwin after doing the above :


    In green is your computer name, in DarkOrange is the terminal current path ( = where you are currently located on your disk)
    in Red is what you need to type
    in Blue is what the URDLV script will display on your screen. There is nothing to do during this step exept waiting.
