Actually mine d9es not show the "custom" when I rooted it. It onk6 shows that when I freeze something the OS should have running but canot run it because it is frozen.

Running stock kk I have just frozen a bunch or apps.

PosTed with my Note 3 using SnapMaJik Suka!!!!

Mine showed custom after I installed safestrap. And rebooted. I just uninstalled safestrap and installed again. Now it doesn't have the custom icon anymore.

Avast detected as a trojan. And many website there is people complaining this as trojan. :

mrkhigh · Jul 12, 2014

It is an apk thats sole basis is to use an exploit in the kernel to gain access to the system. Of course a virus scanner would see this as malicious software.

It by definition is.

Install Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed. Go into security hacks and select fake system status. This worked for me.

If you pledged for root. Donate to geohot.

Download apk

Enjoy root

Does not trip Knox

You can install safe strap.

once a device is rooted can a factory reset be done without losing the root? i have an nvidia shield tablet that's rooted and was just wondering if this can be done. thanks

IF I use this to root my ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 3, how can i unroot it after I am done with what I need?

mrkhigh · Nov 5, 2014

Install super su then go into its settings and choose unroot.

Hey all,

I've just ordered an AT&T Note 3 and it will arrive on Monday. I'm wondering if Note 3's sold recently can be easily rooted with Towellroot or if I'll need to jump through some extra hoops?

I know it's all contingent on what version of Android is on the device, but I figured if anybody's gotten one recently they might know what I'll be getting. I want to get ready so that by Monday I'll be ready (read up, d/l files, etc) to do whatever I'll need to get rooted. I'm not really interested in flashing ROM's just yet, but really do want root.

So anybody know if new Note's purchased today are easily rootable with this TR method?

Thanks!

mrkhigh · Nov 22, 2014

The latest note 3 update is still rootable with towelroot. The next version will not be. Towelroot uses a vulnerability that has been patched in all new android builds.

Okay I stand corrected seems they are pushing new software. as long as you have nc2 on down you will be able to gain root and you can downgrade from the current latest nj2 to nc2.

Ok thanks. So if my N3 comes with NC2 I'm good to go with TR to root, if it comes with NJ2 I need to downgrade to NC2 correct?

Two follow-ups:

Is there a link to instructions for downgrading to NC2 from NJ2?

Is there a listing of these build numbers and what Android versions they represent (mostly for curiosity/completeness)?

Thanks again!

mrkhigh · Nov 22, 2014

Basically yes nc2 on down = towelroot.
Fwiw people have found a work around

Thanks again, good to be prepared and read up/research on what I may need to do on Monday.

mrkhigh · Nov 22, 2014

Fwiw after you gain root if you do not intend on updating I would download app quarantine, then freeze a program that was named att update or something like that. Sorry it's my wife's phone and she's not home. I'm still using a razrm. Note 3 makes it look like a toy.

Yeah, I have a Note 2 now and I've frozen ATT Update (it's on 4.4.2) with Titanium Backup. As soon as I get root on my N3 I'll do the same thing. Thanks again.

JMH82 · Nov 26, 2014

Someone shoot me please.....

I've messed up and did the update to NJ5 4.4.4 without reading up on ANYTHING....I wanna cry now. Maybe I'll just shoot myself. I've been out of the loop for a while now on this stuff, but was able to come across towelroot and get my phone rooted not too long ago and now AT&T has made things....I don't know....F'ed up. I didn't know anything about this Safestrap stuff. What happened to the good ol days where it was easy to fix things?

DO NOT DO THE OTA UPDATE IF YOU WANT ROOT...I probably don't have to tell you all that huh?

Hopefully one of my family members is able to reflash my phone since she works at a AT&T repair/refurb center. I sent her a text and she said she doesn't think her computers have been updated to the 4.4.4 yet. Heres hoping she can do something.

mrkhigh · Nov 26, 2014

I believe you can still Odin back to stock nc2 (read up on it but I think so) then use towel root.

Just wanted to confirm that my new Note 3 had 4.4.2 (NC2) dated March and Towelroot workd fine, I then froze AT&T update with Titanium Backup and everything's good. Now I'll enjoy it for a while and maybe read up on and give Safestrap a go down the road.

Thanks again for the help.
