Yes, if by the old method you mean putting phone into download,mode flashing tar file with odin, then putting root files into the root of the internal memory, reboot phone, delete previous files, reboot once more, then yes .
Yeah no problem. It was a pain for me trying to find the files to root the note 3. I tried using the urdlv files but it was missing a file. So went long and hard to find the old files. I hope you already have them.

Rooted my SM-N9006 but tripped knox
Hi All
There's not that much information on the SM-N9006 so I thought I would share. The SM-N9006 is exclusive to China. I got mine second hand for a steal as the other guy didn't know what to do with it.
I successfully rooted my N9006 using this method but it tripped knox.
I didn't care as I would have to trip knox anyway as I have to install CWM to install Gapps as the chinese versions don't have google. and I'm not in China so there's no way I could get warranty anyway but really wanted to try to see if it would work.
Made videos anyway as the process is going to be the same or very similar for everyone who wants to use this de la Vega method also i couldn't find any good video's out there which goes through the process of creating the firmware from an original downloaded from SamMobile.
Hope this helps someone. :victory:

Hello, im a new at Samsung devices.
So the Galaxy Note 3 is my first Samsung device.
My Note 3
AP: N9005XXUDMK2
CP: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005OXXDMK3
Can I root my device without triping KNOX?
Or is there any way to flash an Custom ROM without triping KNOX?
I want to flash other ROM´s with ROOT but without triping KNOX.
Maybe I need it in the future
Or can I use KNOX when it´s on 0x1?
Im still on 4.3

Hi all. I just got the note 3 today and I have no idea what's going on. I got the MJ5 and I'm hoping that it could be rooted with no problem. Please tell me yes. lol. I don't think I could live with an un-rooted phone.

Well, you could root but you'd get Knox 0x1.
Well damn. And what happens if KNOX becomes 0x1? Sorry bro. I don't know anything about this KNOX thing.

It seems that in some countries your warranty bocomes void... but for sure you can't use all the knox related apps ..(the apps that use knox container)
Inviato dal mio SM-N9005 utilizzando Tapatalk
And are those apps a must to use?What apps are they? Will they lock my phone or something? Will my phone be functional? I don't care about the warranty.

As far as i know nobody uses them...
The container is meant to saparate your personal data to your 'company corporate data'

Last question I swear. Bottom line, beside the warranty and the stupid KNOX container, am I safe to root? Or should I wait until our devs come up with something? Thank you guys so much for your patience with my ignorance.

To tell the truth rooting is never 100% safe but it is worth it if you'll use the 'unlocked' features... it's your own choice!

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!

- Boot into bootloader mode
- Open Odin or Heimdall and plug your USB cable into your computer and phone
- Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the firmware created in step #1

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!28Working on an update guys, please chillax.
Restoring the links to the current version.18
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.
