[Q] Root access for recent update N900PVPUDNH7

[ssuraj83]

As the title says guys,
I was about to root my Sprint Note III, but I received the update and now the Note III is running Android 4.4.4.
I don't want to do something and the get stuck with it.
Has it been done since the update?

You can always just use odin to install twrp than use twrp to install supersu

For sure. Knox can be reset and worked around at a later date so its really not a big deal but at the moment it will indicate 0x1 on the stock recovery indicating you have rooted your device.

What I want to know is how to get the Native hotspot working. My Galaxy tools APK is not doing the trick and the APN settings are completely different. anyone have this issue???

Can we see a screenshot of your apn's? They can be opened editable without msl if you change sales_code in galaxy tools to XAS and reboot phone.
Also a copy of the file after a ##scrtn#
Enter that in dialer and wait till phone reboots and finishes, then click enable native hotspot only once and post telephony.db.bk for me to see. (it will be in root of internal sdcard)

@chuxmix

Go see last couple posts in that thread, what helped the last user might help you too.

 

[chuxmix]

Well the apns look completely different and the ##scrtn# only forces me to reboot then reactivate then reboot all over again.

Everyones can look like that. Change sales_code like I said, reboot and they WILL open editable, and you will then be able to select/edit them. Or try the forced lte like I suggested in the other thread (and it worked for that user)

And the point of the scrtn was for you to grab that file. It resets your apns to default (deletes all but ota ones) then reboots and pulls new apns from the network.

Already XAS opened this but im not sure how to force the lte or what to edit it to??? ÷Edit. Woops i got it now!!! it was able to reset and i opened up the selected right after i clicked the Enable hotspot button and it had the ,dun already in place. Thanks Idone

You don't need to edit them, you thought your apns were different but they are not.

click enable hotspot in galaxy tools, wait 10 seconds or so, go into your apns and select ehrpd then select lte.

Now go test turning on hotspot.

The force lte setting is accessible through IOTHiddenmenu. I was just saying to do that if you go into apns and have none of them selected(because tethering requires one of the 2 internet apns to be active/selected) and sometimes the phone is weird and no apn is selected.

Thanks to a few memebers here for posting back. I went ahead and used CF AUTO ROOT to root the newest firmware. Below is screen shot in Odin mode.

Some issues to share;

First, if i want to use my home wifi, I have to reboot my phone for it to work. Can anyone confirm this?

Second, thanks to the galaxy tool, I now have hotspot again.
My issue here, it only allows one device to connect at a time. For the use of another device, I have to turn off one.
Anyone having these issues?

Hi,

First if you enjoy GalaxyTools consider buying me a drink.
Second in hotspot go to configure>scroll to bottom and select "show advanced options">scroll to bottom again> max user can be up to 8

If you have more devices I can give you command to send from terminal to try and increase it.. I've not enough wifi devices to test more than 8 sorry.

Good luck!


****edit****
Yes just tested I can increase max users, will add this to GalaxyTools later today and post update.

***edit***
GalaxyTools updated, add as many hotspot users as you like!

Thank you for replying.
I figured it out once I started to mess with it.

 

[ssuraj83]

Can someone chime in and tell me what the 4 means?

Knox warranty void: 0x1 (4)

Check out my post 4.4.4 ( Download Mode ) below, that I made right after I upgraded to 4.4.4, now check out the post above. Is that number (4) a flash counter ?

I have since gone back to 4.4.2, there's to many problems with 4.4.4. So is anyone rooted with 4.4.4 that can check this out ?
Does it reset if you unroot the device and go back to official stock ?

 

[ssuraj83]

I was reading your post aswell.

I only flashed/rooted this phone yesterday using odin3 v3.07 and noticed you can't uncheck F.reset time. Now, my binary and sytem says custom.
See below screen shot.

I am not running a custom recovery.
If i wanted to go back to nc5, can I use odin to do that?
Thanks.

Odin can put you back to nc5.

And if you can't uncheck it on the menu do it in Odin3.ini

[APOption]
FResetTime=0

 

[ssuraj83]

I will try it.
Thanks idone.
