Hi,
My N9005 is rooted on 4.3 currently, am I able to flash directly to 4.4.2 and root it without tripping Knox?
Thanks.

2. Turn off re-lock and app security.
Could someone please explain this step. Got confused of what i need to do

in order to install the app, you have to turn on "Unknown sources" in security settings
Go into settings, on the last tab (general) , scroll down to security, enter:
Make sure the following are unchecked:
- Reactivation lock
- Unknown sources
- Verify apps
Next, enter Change security level, and check normal.
Do a reboot.

My current ROM is
Version: Android 4.3
N9005XXUBMJ1
And the version I'm going to is:
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1703205
Build date: Tue, 20 May 2014 11:34:14 +0000
Product Code: XSP
PDA: N9005DXUENE4
CSC: N9005OLCENE5
MODEM: N9005DXUENE3
So it will not trip right?
I can't confirm TowelRoot works on that ROM, as it is one that I never flashed. Also that ROM seems to have different CSC than your current ROM. Where did you buy your note? Cause the XX is usually a marker for unlocked Europe. Also what CSC do you have?
PS: you can try and asking here, maybe someone flashed that ROM, and can confirm that TowelRoot works.
Late EDIT:
A friend flashed the N9005DXUENE4, and TowelRoot, worked just fine.

Wiping cache partition does not help. System status - "Custom"
After looking for installed programs discovered one. In my case, it was "USSDDualWidget" - root prog with its own service.
After removing it status became "Official" again.
So, freezing system apps, installing SuperSU or TitaniumBackup don't affect the System status, but try to search with app affect in Your case.
Hey,
I want to ask what is the best procedure to get root and stay actual at my phone.

You have two choices:
- Just update from OTA updates (that`s how I did it, and I was on XX as well, so I am quite sure you will get the same 4.4.2 that I did, witch is easily rooted via TowelRoot)
- Update from Odin. (I updated 3 phones with odin, and I used the ROM posted here, that being said, the probably best way is to use the OTA updates, because when you use ODIN you always TAKE RISKS! )
This is the link for the latest German Official ROM - with no carrier branding.

The answer is as varied as the people on this forum. Each person will have a different reason to root. For me, it is so I can use TitaniumBackup and Root explorer. I have done many other things, but I always start here. Terminal is usually next.

Didn't work one N9000
I used the apk to root my N9000 exynos version. i used v2 of apk which doesnt needs reboot. but as soon as i clicked on ''make it rain'' the device got stuck and got restarted automatically. and i installed superSU and root check. no luck . i did it 2 times. SAD!

no one has reported this yet...
Towelroot does not work on the SM-N900W8 Canadian version even if the ROM/Kernel was built well before June 3rd... it was built on Feb 27.
When I press the "Make it ra1n" button... it stays orange for a few seconds and mydevice is rebooting automatically even if it's not supposed to do it with V2. Root checker after the reboot says root is not available. Also, SuperSU says that there is no su binary installed.
I tried a few times with the same results. And yes, I disabled the reactivation lock and app check before trying it.
Anyone got it working with a SM-N900W8?

9Hi.
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 HERE3
Take a look here:
★ [ROOT][N9005] ★ Rooting 4.4.2 XXUFNF4 & NEWER stock firmwares ★ (KNOX 0x0) ★
Rooting takes 5 minutes, including reading OP, downloading original kernels and flashing it
no issues!! 3XXUFNF4 ota update
Halo everyone
just to let everyone knows
i've updated my previous rom to XXUFNF4 (malaysia XME) via ota
