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)

STEP -1 -> You will now have a program called Odin3 v3.07.exe... Run the program as Administrator (Right click, run as administrator) Once you open Odin3 v3.07.exe you will have a screen with only 2 checkmarks on it:



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.

> > > NOW CONNECT PHONE TO PC VIA USB < < <

STEP 0 -> Make sure your program looks like the picture above... Now click on PDA and browse for the file N900TUVUFOB6_N900TTMBFOB6_N900TUVUFOB6_HOME.tar.md5.

>>> Now, If you are a 100% sure that your program looks like the picture above... Click START

READ THIS!!!
*** IMPORTANT NOTE #1:

AFTER THE ROM IS FLASHED, THE PHONE WILL REBOOT AND YOU WILL SEE A BLUE BAR FOR A FEW SECONDS, AFTER THIS BLUE BAR DISAPPEARS, THE PHONE WILL REBOOT AGAIN; AT THIS MOMENT YOU MAY WANT TO BE READY AND BE ALREADY PRESSING VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTONS. THE IDEA BEHIND THIS, IS TO CATCH DOWNLOAD MODE BEFORE THE OS (LOLLIPOP) ACTUALLY BOOTS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS WILL SOLVE THE CF-AUTO-ROOT OR TWRP NOT STICKING REPORTED BY SOME USERS





-> The program will flash the ROM for a few moments then the phone will reboot by itself...
-> You now have New LOLLIPOP v5 TMO ROM, as soon as you finish looking at the new ROM, TURN OFF PHONE AGAIN > > > CONTINUE . . .

ROOTING LOLLIPOP v5 N900TUVUFOB6 ROM . . . (N900TUVUFOB6)

LOLLIPOP SD Card Write Fix (Atomatic Method)

Flashable ZIP Via Recovery (TWRP): (Flash by turning on phone with Power + Volume UP + Home Button)

Download:

http://g2k.serveftp.net/xda/tmo_n900t_extsd_fix_tekhd.zip

Now all apps will be able to write to external SD Card...

>>> This works with LolliPop stock rom... Tested already with Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, Opera, Dolphin Browser, Ttorrent... all able to perfectly write directly to external sd card. Test by copying any file to external sd card using Root Explorer.

Now that you are done... you may want to install this awesome NOTE 4 ROM: by @TEKHD

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.
