Kingo Root Repeatedly Failing

[Anon8154066]

It seems hard until you actually do it. I was a complete noob not too long ago. I still cringe at the threads I created here asking for help lol

Haha yes indeed - there are a few steps but it's as easy as cooking in a microwave lol

I threw myself in at the deep end and had the attitude what will be will be, hindsight it was my Note 3 as a first rooting and Romming experience so shouldn't of had the bravado and asked here on AC. But I was brave and have learned a lot.

I have soft bricked and recovered that was when I flashed 4.4.2 and accidently flashed the wrong recovery= a bootloop.
It's all a great learning curve and glad that I experienced it th as I now have a little more knowledge and that's a great thing.

So if u wanted to flash a rom, the warranty would be voided regardless?

Good to hear, I'm really interested in learning more. I tried looking for my device variant on XDA to download the file, but it doesn't seem like the Verizon variant is there.

And thanks again both of you, I know I'm being a total noob but I really do appreciate the help and understanding.

Yes you would be using a custom rom but first you would have to flash a custom recovery thus then tripping the knox counter.

UJ95X would he not just need say the SM-N9005 obviously that's not his variant but does it have to be specifically Verizon even I am unsure things work differently with the international variant, us variant and carrier models was one that I was unsure of.

I don't see SM-N900V listed under the supported devices, does it not work for Verizon?

My KNOX didn't get tripped when I used the method here: http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/

But I don't think that this worked for the op.

He was asking if flashing custom ROMs trips the Knox counter, and it does. Same for custom recoveries.

It has to be for the SM-900V or you could potentially brick the phone.

^I'll look into it. I see it erases everything on my phone though, I can I backup everything before I go about doing that? I know I can transfer photos to my computer, but I'm not sure about anything else.

The only thread I can find in the Verizon Note 3 forum on XDA on how to root says to use Kingo. I can't use CF Auto Root because my device isn't supported, any other options?

Rooting shouldn't erase anything, it's when you get into flashing roms that you need to factory reset, wipe cache etc

But that was what we were on about duh as well as rooting so kind of ok lol its late or early depending on how you perceive it lol 01:35 in Scotland

Photos/videos, music, and contacts can all be transferred to your PC.
You can use Helium backup to backup app data. That includes game saves and SMS if you need it

Thanks for the info. Looks like my only option right now is to wait and see if I can get Kingo to work.

I know. I flashed TWRP and I'm currently on Beans (and formerly on Hyperdrive) and my Knox counter didn't trip. I can't vouch for non - TW based ROMS though.

Hmm, I don't have Knox, but there is still a flash counter. Mine is insanely high lol

I was under the impression that yes there were ways around rooting and not tripping knox, but as soon as you flashed a recovery that was it knox tripped and warranty voided. Please inform the process you went through to obtain this amazing feat. Not that I'm disbelieving you its just from everything I have read but mind you I read specifically for the SM-N9005 and I know that it can't be done on this.

Here is root de la vega but not sure about it as I haven't used it.

I used the TWRP version for Verizon on the website. That, of course, is different than your Note 3 edition. It was noted in this method that Knox was verified not to be tripped, and I can verify that it wasn't tripped in my device either. My counter is 0x0. I wasn't concerned about it tripping but I was certainly glad that it didn't trip. All the better.
