WHAT YOU WILL NEED > > > Chainfire's CF-AutoRoot & RECOVERY TWRP . Also, just in case, Samsung USB Drivers.

-> ROM N900TUVUFOB6 Can be downloaded from [HERE] (SamMobile)

INSTALLING ROM . . .

STEP -3 -> Make sure you have already the Samsung USB Drivers installed; if not... Download them from the link above and install them.

STEP -2 -> Unzip the ROM (file name N900TUVUFOB6_N900TTMBFOB6_TMB.zip) & the CF-ROOT File (CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip)

ON THE PHONE -> Then Turn OFF Your Phone and Turn it back ON by pressing POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME button together at the same time. A Warning Screen will come up; press Volume Up button to enter DOWNLOAD MODE.

This is the method I used and I can say the pattern lock works for me.

Does the lock screen pattern work? Please advise.

Does this method trip the 0x1 Knox flag? if yes, is there any known way to get root on KitKat without tripping the Knox flag?
 
^ So yes it will. However, T-Mobile doesn't care that much about it as some of us have found out.

TOTALLY understand if you're unsure about it, and should wait for a method that doesn't trip the knox when rooting. It won't happen tomorrow or the next day, so be patient.

Quick question does this 'Wipe' Your device (Data Partition)? I have used CF-Auto Root in the Past so my Warranty has been tripped, does this cause any issues?

sorry, i know this is going to come off sounding wrong, and really there is no way of asking without it sounding wrong.


Did you read anything on this forum at all?

I spent the better part of yesterday answering and making Q&A threads, and most of the other people have also. I mean seriously people, i'm seeing the same question asked 2 and 3 times on the same page. This how to guide was made because people are refusing to read, and then you guys are not even reading the whole guide. You want quality work, got it, you have questions, got it, and they are all valid questions. But the valid questions have been answered.

There's a update Q&A and update discussion thread in the T-Mobile Note 3 General Section. in the 15 pages each release put out yesterday, there are numerous answers to anything you can think of.

But please search before asking a question.

    OK !

    First off.

    THIS GUIDE IS FOR INSTALLING AND ROOTING THE UVUCNB4 T-MOBILE ROM AND THAT ROM ONLY. FOR THE PEOPLE WANTING TO INSTALL AND RUN INT. ROM. GO TO THE INTERNATIONAL FORUM.

    If you refuse to follow the steps here, your questions will be ignored.
    If you fail to read the T-MOBILE FORUM (yes there's a Q&A Thread for all this) your question will be ignored.
    If you try to run third party apps like Xposed bla bla bla, and can't figure out why you can't achieve a,b and c, your questions will be ignored.
    If you are going to sit here and lie and say, hey i did this exactly and it's not working, your questions will be ignored.

    This is getting ridiculous people. I took my family out for a nice day and came back to at least 3 pages per thread. And guess what. All 5 threads, have the exact same questions, some of them by the same person posting in seperate places. AND ALL OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED MULTIPLE TIMES.

    2nd.

    Please do not give people smart alec answers and comments because you feel like they should know it. Some of the questions are legit and people actually do need help. Belittling people on XDA will get you banned. I will report you to the Mod's myself. My job as an RC. Please be considerate in how you approach others. You do not know them or their background. Some people may take offense to condescending comments and tone.

    With all that said. Please , Please, Please read and search. This entire section is starting to get riddled with duplicate information. If you have a problem or want to flash a particular rom, please go to that section to post your questions.

    Thank you .
