To delete a slot in safe strap boot into safe strap recovery and go to boot options. Then activate stock rom. Next click on the rom slot you want to delete and instead of activating it click the delete option. That's it.

Noob Question

That ROM for MJE stock rooted.... Do you already have to be rooted to use that? I tried Kingo and De La Vega, and neither worked. Am I completely f**ked until someone figures out how to root MJE on the Verizon SM-N900V? I tired to dial that *#1234# number to get the info required, and all I get is a message stating that my feature failed or something like that. I just got the phone yesterday and expected to root immediately. Had no idea that VZW f**ked me with the current build. I have a Note 2 rooted, that has TWRP, Beans22, and Alliance AOSP Contacts, and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way it is, and was hoping for more of the same. I was on 2 sites/forums that said MJE can still be rooted. I watched the videos, but Kingo fails, and using De La Vega, I cannot get the .tar or .md5 files to show in any folder to do it using Odin. I know ZERO about using terminal, as I have used one-click roots in the past or a java executable. I got $25 as a donation to anyone that can get me rooted..... Please and thank you!

Universal root De la Vega doesn't work for MJE. I tried and it will soft brick your phone. FWIW, the process to get to there was a long slog. You can find your csc number, etc with an app on play 'check fus'. But then have to figure out how to get Cygwin (Linux editor) to work and in the end soft brick.

Got 'Er Done!

I used that vroot, even though I was sceptical, but when you want something done, you gotta take chances.... I did that full wipe, installed Safestrap, created my ROM slots, installed "the Man, the Myth, the Legend (Beans) Rom, got rid of the Chinese SU using Chainfire's SU, Got rid of all of the bloat with Titanium Backup Pro, got her supercharged with Set CPU, installed some other mods, and I'm set up as good as my Note 2.

Thanks to all of the Dev's for all you do to end That VZW dictatorship!

So I'm kind of confused. For what I can tell, I'm still on MI9 Because i've refused any and all OTA updates., you know kernel hasn't been updated since the sept 24th it came with on release day.

I want to install a minimalist rom, and from what I can tell that's probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553231 this one but version five.

Is the steps, root using that vega thing, then install safestrap, then install the app? Do I have to be updated to like MJ7 to use it or something?

This is kind of completely different than when I had my S3.

Any root for the galaxy note 3 SW-N900V

Kingo and vroot are the methods, but I'd use caution, since no one can explain why the program needs to dump apps on the device, which people can't fine after the exploit process, btw. It sounds and seems like malware to me, until someone (like the developer!) can prove otherwise.

You had the best vid walkthroughs @Tomsgt. Git me through the Kindle Fire step by step. Any validity to the uncertainty with Kingo? I just got my Note 3 today and I'm trying to get caught up. I'm on MJE

I might not be able to convince you since I am not the actual developer but maybe I can talk some facts up in here.

Kingo uses an exploit in the JellyBean (4.3) framework. During an application install, during the permissions of the application when it installs, there becomes a small hole in the security of the "user". Kingo uses this hole and exploits it to install Super Su which in turn allows root access. I can say with a 110% that nothing Kingo installs is malware. If anyone did a data trace and hash of the payload of the information that is sent and gathered, they would find that 1. Kingo only pulls the model number, firmware and user location and 2. Dumps it data on a server in Utah, USA. The IMEI number issue that so many people got their panties is a bunch over was illogical as nothing can be done with an IMEI without the physical device in hand. It wouldn't matter if the device was black list via a carrier as it is required during initial activation to provide that number. If a carrier inquires about the device you can easily say you have it, provide proof of identity and ownership and you're all set. A minor hassle at the absolute worst.

Here are my supporting links in case anyone feels the need to attempt to dispute me:

Now vRoot on the other hand, is known to be dumping its data in China. I would say use at your own risk.

BUT, if you can get a copy of the latest Kingo app, you are fine to root Jelly Bean with it.
