Xposed Installer, ISIS Root Bypass = working.

Is it possible to un-do this root so there is no trace?

 

[interkin3tic]

How long until they unfix it?

I've been thinking of buying a note 3, but the no root was a dealbreaker. Can anyone guess as to how long it will be until AT&T and/or samsung will prevent this from working?

In other words, should I rush out and buy it now, or could I mull it over for a few weeks AKA convince the significant other I need a new phone.

Buy one ASAP.

He's right whatever the next update is should break root for the note 3. It was a vulnerability that is patched in newer kernels

If you root using towelroot, then download SuperSu, then titanium back up, then safestrap v3.72, and then use root checker to check - it will say you are rooted. Although the safestrap won't let you flash ROM yet, the awesome developers are working diligently to get it done. It won't trip Knox unless you download a custom Rom app/manager; that will trip Knox as it did to me

I have flashed the rom and my knox says 0x0 as have plenty of others.. not sure what you're doing wrong... have you installed busybox?

 

[Eddie Del]

Forgot to mention download busybox. If you OTA NC4 or bought stock KK NC4, as far as I know SafeStrap won't flash ROM until updated.

You need to update to KK.

Can you be a bit more specific? I have his exact same issue, and same version of note 3, it does not work for me, I thought 4.4.2 was kitkat? and if we need to update how do we do that? I try to update through ATT but it says there isnt one.

How often are updates put out? Do you think I'm safe ordering it online (for $100 less?)

UPDATE: Some people are having trouble using the SU from the play store to update the binary. Use this link http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip

Yeah att isn't super fast on updates but if you want root I wouldn't wait too long

I accidentally flashed an NC2 kernal on my VZW Note3 OTA NC4 via odin3 and it is stuck on start up screen. I tried to flash the stock NC4 full tar via odin then rebooted into recovery and did a full data/factory recet and am waiting up to 20min to see if it starts up...if not am i screwed? Is there another way to get it booted. I DL the full stock NC4 you posted and flashed successfully to the phone. However waited 20min and didn't boot. Pulled battery then booted in recovery and did full data/factory reset. So i'm waiting. But any other ideas? PLEASE help!

If not I have a Note II 4.3 MJ9 kernal 3.0.31 as back up and a droid razr maxx or samsung charge if need be. But i love my note3!!!

I tried to root my N9005 Note 3, with towelroot, but it didn't work. I'm with kitkat 4.4.2. My ROM is N9005XXUENC2. Anyone, please, help me.

I would imagine worst case scenario is going to a best buy and having them reflash it.

It doesn't work with MLG I am sure it's a minor fix but probably not worth it for the few dozen phones running that kitkat.

Downgrade to mj5 without root then either use kingo and stay on jellybean or allow the ota and root kitkat with towelroot.

just install the fix nc2 with odin and I am root

 

[goranbm]

I am sorry, but thi topic confused me. So my question is, can I root my N3 with this GeoHot method without triping KNOX, and still recieve OTA updates ??? Thank you for reply
