Root de la Vega [SM-N900V KNOX 0x0]

[jimbosi]

Knox stays 0x0...

...but when booting up, an unlocked padlock icon appears below the Samsung logo. In reading other forums, it didn't appear that there was any way around that. If nothing else, I'll be able to uninstall some bloat and use TiBU to do a backup. I've got a 64Gb SD card installed. That said, I doubt I'll load any custom roms if they become available. I like the handset the way it is. I'm glad the community was able to achieve root!

You can make that unlocked padlock go away. Just download Exposed Installer from the Op's Link, then go to the App Store and download "Wanam Xposed". Activate it via the Exposed Installer App. There is a setting in "Security Hacks" tab on the Wanam app that will allow you to "Fake System Status". This will make your phone boot into the normal logo without the padlock icon.

I had planned on returning my note 3, then Gearz gifted the community root! I am very thankful for his hard work!

Awesome! Thanks for the handy tip. I love XDA!

I'm in the process of switching my warranty from my Note 2 to the Note 3. And the minute I do that I will be rooting. Such an achievement and I'm so excited to ROOT this beast

I know rooting our devices "void" the warranty, and I know I could switch afterwards as the company would have NO clue I rooted prior to getting the coverage. It's more of a piece of mind thing for myself. Either way, great job again and can't wait to dive in.

I asked earlier but still curious. Will custom ROMs be flashable via Odin, or do we need to wait for custom recovery/a workaround on the boot loader?

Now that a root method is accomplished, how long do you think it would be until there's a TWRP or CWM available?

Since Knox isn't triggered, once root is achieved Knox can be disabled? If it's not disabled will my exchange work email administration policies be effected?

Be very careful. Wanam soft bricked my phone. It is not compatible with 4.3 Do not attempt this until updated by developer.

How did you fix your soft brick? Flash the root tar through Odin?

Yikes. Do you know what setting caused the soft brick? I've applies probably 20 tweaks (mostly theme adjustments, some system adjustments) without any issues. Did you download your version of Wanam from the App store after already installing Exposed Framework?

No. I wipe factory reset through stock recovery. Then I was back to stock root.

 

[Legato Bluesummers]

Tried downloading this and the stock odin through every browser my phone has, failing to even start usually. Assuming it's still being hit up hard in the server. Will give this a day and try again. Thanks for cracking this open. Can't wait.

Yes I updated through the play store. I'm not sure which setting it was. I made many adjustments at one time and went for it. When I restarted, would not get past the Verizon white screen.

Is anyone planning on making a list of apps that can be removed/frozen in TiBu?

 

[bjtcars]

Might be a noob question but is "Copy the contents of Root_de_la_Vega.zip to the root of the internal sdcard" just the internal drive?

Thanks

Anyone know if this will work on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 wifi? In theory, shouldn't it work since the internals are similar

 

[jdubya42]

Does anyone else have problems with Odin?

Every time I add the file to odin it just becomes unresponsive instantly.
