Thx m8 but im rooted with this way in the thread so i dont have CWM in the phone and N9005XXUBMJ1 modem is only in CWM format.
I ask for this modem but i even if someone provided to me (so far im ignored except you m8 :) ) i dont know if it will brake anything like knox or something.. its a gray area for me even if i had read this thread since post 1.

I hope @designgears maybe can help a bit here..

I think everybody should check whether their Note 3 is reactivation locked or not before doing any flashing. If it's locked, then uncheck the checkbox in the settings to make it 'unlocked'. Make it a compulsory pre-flashing task. Just my thoughts.

Dear designgears,
Why no love shown for exynos version ??

It doesn't work with the root method.

Is it possible to use it for N900S (SK TELECOM)?

Should be able to, can you get the full details via instructions in post #2?

@designgears I was wondering if you were possibly working on a hack for the USCC / US Cellular variant of the Note 3 ( SM-N900R4 )? If not would you possibly consider it and if so what would you need? I don't have one yet but am looking to get it but root is kind of a big thing for me as well as many other USCC N3 users I'm sure. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am not seeing any firmware for this device yet.

On Sprint 900p
i can confirm 100% working
downgraded first from mi5 to mi3 using the official sammy files.
then applied vega.
knox intact.

thanks again designgears.

off to try spoofing the ota will reply back.

Ok. well it let me spoof the status to official.and download the update.
however upon reboot it appears i no longer have root.and device status shows custom again. however knox is still 0x0
hmmmm. any ideas?


Check /system/xbin for the su binary.

Recovery file helped to reboot phone. Any other files like STOCK, AP or CSC gives error. VEGA files give System error ans CSC files give cache error.
In recovery mode (POWER+HOME+Vol_UP) I've got a message "E:signature verification failed"
After reboot sPen and keyboard do FC. So basicly I'm stuck.
this is what is happening in photos :(:(

I have an idea on how to fix this. Give me a bit and I will post some info for you.

Hi, I would like to request a patch for the Japanese NTT Docomo Variant of the Galaxy Note 3.
It is due to be released tomorrow, October 17th.
It has the Snapdragon 800 CPU.
The following details were taken from the in-store display phone:

AP: SC01FOMUBMIF
CP: SC01FOMUBMIF
CSC: SC01FDCMBMIF
BUILD: JSS15J.SC01FOMUBMIF​

Official Specs

Thanks.

I am going to add that to the OP right now.

Check again.This thread has mj1 modem in Odin flashable format (OP post).
One think to double check is that flashing modem does not trigger knox

Would this setting be found by going into Settings/General Tab/Security? I looked for an option clearly listed as reactivation lock(ed)/unlock(ed) and cannot find anything here. I am on Model SM-N900P for Sprint.

Thanks!

I think this thread is the most precious one for our Note 3 device up to this moment. Thanks deeply from my heart to @designgears. Mine has not been rooted yet. Why? I've return it to Samsung SC here in Malaysia because it's broken. When it comes, I'll surely root it using this 'Root de la Vega' method by @designgears and send him some donation for his hard work. :good:

Mod edit: Please don't quote the entire OP.

Hello, That's mean that we can go back to stock even if our flag is at x0 ? :)

    Root de la Vega
    By @designgears & @Chainfire

    First off, a big huge thanks to Chainfire for his SuperSU app and help getting root setup manually.

    Warning: This will wipe your data and internal sdcard, this will show custom system status. I cannot be held responsible for anything you do to your phone, rooting is optional, I am not forcing you to do it.

    DO NOTE TAKE OTA UPDATES OR UPDATE WITH STOCK ODIN FILES THAT CONTAIN BOOTLOADER UPDATES!!

    How To Enter Download Mode
    Method 1: adb reboot download
    Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

    IF YOU HAVE REACTIVATION LOCK ON, TURN IT OFF!
    Go to Security Settings and turn the reactivation lock OFF, this is just a precaution.

    Rooting Instructions
    Remove the external sdcard (if you have one)
    Boot into bootloader mode (see methods above)
    Load the correct AP file into the AP slot in Odin (find your AP version in post #2)
    Load the correct CSC file into the CSC slot in Odin (find your CSC version in post #2)
    Click start in Odin, wait for it to fully flash
    Let your device fully boot after flashing has completed
    Copy the contents of Root_de_la_Vega.zip to the root of the internal storage
    • /My Computer/[Phone Name]/Phone/
      • root_de_la_vega.sh
      • root_files (folder)
    Reboot (very important!)
    After fully booting delete the files from the internal storage that were added previously
    • /My Computer/[Phone Name]/Phone/
      • root_de_la_vega.sh
      • root_files (folder)
    Reboot (extremely important!)
    Reinsert the external sdcard (if you have one)

    That's all! Enjoy Root!

    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.


    Can you help me with the drivers?
    No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.

    How do I get into download mode?
    Method 1: adb reboot download
    Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

    Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?
    No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!

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

    Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?
    Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.

    Does Xposed Framework work?
    Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.

    Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?
    Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.

    Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?
    Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.

    How do I open a 7z file?
    With 7zip or IZArc!

    Can I do this on OS X/Linux?
    No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.

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

    I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?
    From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
    Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

    I am getting Force Closes after flashing, how can I fix it?
    Make sure you are flashing the CSC file! If you are, try flashing AP and CSC separately.

    HELP! I flashed N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1 and now I am stuck in download mode! What do I do?!
    You are mostly going to trip the KNOX Warranty at this point.
    Flash this AP N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1_BTU_RECOVER.tar.md5 (2.05 GB) and this CSC N9005OXABMJ3_CSC.tar.md5 (38.0 MB)

    Whats stopping this being used for the N9005?

    The method? Nothing, I am working on it :p

    Don't use these files for it tho.

    First N9005 on the planet rooted using this method:

    N9005: Confirmed working

    Knox Counter: Confirmed 0x0

    Confirmed no wipe

    WiFi: Confirmed working
