Hey, I was wondering if Chainfire's autoroot would cause a factory reset or any type of wipe on the phone? I know that for some phones, when the root is an exploit it doesn't wipe anything. I'm not sure if Chainfire's method is an exploit or not though.
Secondly, he says to be on the stock recovery. Once the rooting process is completed, I can install whichever recover I wish right? I assume TWRP is the best one to do? Or are there any known issues with certain recoveries for this device?
Thanks!

It won't...but make sure to make a back up of anything on your phone to your pc like picture, music and so on.
Do a factory reset before rooting to eliminate some problem. That what I did and so far everything is good.
The KNOX meter will turn from 0x0 to 0x1 because of rooting.
And finally use TWRP latest version like everyone does...

Oh yes, that was another question that I forgot to ask. Would Samsung deny insurance claims on a broken phone, or deny warranty coverage from root? I know "technically" they can but do you think they would if it's a hardware issue?
Is there a way to reverse this and unroot the phone if needed?

You can go back to stock via ODIN but the KNOX will be the same at 0x1 I believed. I'm not sure if there is a way to revert back to zero maybe in the near future once the smart devs here can figure it out.
Samsung will void the warranty...but TMobile maybe NOT because some people here already exchange their phone like 2 or 3 times already due to some issue with rooting and so on...

Chainfire's CF-Autoroot will not touch or delete any of your files.
Including pictures, videos. contacts, data, mms, apps or anything else.
There is absolutely no need to backup anything before rooting with
CF-Autoroot or with any other rooting method.
TWRP recovery is excellent, in fact that's what I use it all the time.
Also none of the rooting methods including CF-Autoroot" will do a "factory reset".
The only thing any of the rooting methods do is ROOT the phone and nothing else.
Good luck....

Nope. Triangle away is for resetting the binary flash count. Knox is an efuse built into the chipset. There is no known way to reset it.... Yet

The T-Mobile Note 3 does not have FRP; however, it may have reactivation lock enabled.

I used Adam's guide to bypass the bootloader as I have the newer version and probably already had the OTA update.
I want to unroot my device now. Do I strictly use odin and the stock file?
When I boot into download mode here are my stats.
SCH-I605
No
Samsung Official
Custom
This does mean that it has voided the warranty.. correct?
I'm ok with just getting back to stock. I don't want to risk getting bricked trying to use triangle away to reset the counter.
What's the best path to get back to stock at this point?
I know I should have found this somewhere but I've been reading SO many forums here and it's confusing after you have the OTA update.
Your counter is not raised so you don't need triangle away. Thats all I can help.
There is a different forum for verizon note 2 so look there.
People here would probably not be able to help you much because verizon version is a lot different then international version.

Oops. I put it in the wrong place. Thanks for the response! That's good news if my counter hasn't changed. I know the status of shows modified on my settings, but oh well.
Flashing Stock ROM with Odin will unroot device
if needs you can wipe cache and data to make status Normal
If you want just status -Normal without unroot, try this
Setting - Application manager - All - SysScope - clear data
do same with Enterprise SysScope if available

I flashed I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB which was the stock I think I needed for Verizon 4G LTE Note 2. Not sure where I would do the wipe cache and data. It shows the status as modified under my settings. If it's too difficult, I'm not that worried. If my warranty is void, maybe it will teach me to take care of my phone. Lol

Help a Noob unroot
I did Adams Casual Verizon 1 click root with recovery months ago now I want to return to stock to do the OTA update that's been a defer nag. I'm tired of deferring it. How do I return the phone to stock, I tired of searching for the right forum or u-tube vids for a simple straight forward step by step procedure. Right now I have the I605VRAMC3 Build. Someone please advise, this is my 3rd GN2 and I don't want to brick it again. The 1st one I bricked and the 2nd replacement, the phone just stopped sending/receiving data. Then can I run the 1 click again to re-root?
Is anyone working currently working on a solution to this catastrophe? I'm one of the unfortunate individuals that happened to acquire an S4 with this build preinstalled. Needless to say, I'm pissed.I'm curious as to if it's even possible to bypass Knox. I'd love to liberate my Galaxy from Touch Wiz and install a the official GE ROM.
I'm more interested in the updated LTE modem that seems to be tied into the 4.3 knoxed up bootloader since I'm still on 4.2.2.

If you care about your warranty this may trip a counter "KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1" or something like that. But anyway, the part about voiding you warranty is a theory. In some cases I've read where a device was repaired in store with a simple re-flash of stock firmware, resetting the counter. Other cases have reported sending them in to either be fixed for free or sent a bill for tripping the counter. So the choice is your, just be informed of the concequences before you make your decision. This phone is damn near $700.

Exactly. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd prefer to keep my warranty intact as well as the resell value. By the time I'm ready to sell it, I'm sure people will start caring about having the manufacturer's warranty still intact.

Hi guys after a week of testing note 4 I'm returning my Note 4 and getting Note 3 back biggest dealbraker is the Sprint Spark no voice and data at the same time.
My question is how do i unroot it so there is no super U or TWRP I'm using the stock rom that came with the phone I just want to do the factory reset and return the phone. The ppl that will take the phone back will not even know hot to get to recovery I expect. How do I get rid of the TWRP recovery?
To anyone out there considering the switch from 3 to 4 Don't Do It! its not worth it unless you just got money.
Thanks!
anyone that does not see the different between the 4 and the 3 must not understand much. Sayin'
The N4 is the best phone I have ever owned. I have used all the HTC Android phones and also most of the Samsung phones, including all the Note series.
In one of the root threads, there is a stock tar file to run via odin and your back to stock unroot.
Many should not assume and research the device before purchase. As it may have been a dealbreaker for you and others. Many have also known this prior to purchasing phone. And still paid to have one. Personal preference. .........

will this reset Knox? I heard that's once you have flashed the hardware is permanently changed, although I don't know if this is just reflected in the binary flag as showing 'custom'.
I"m wondering whether you can get warranty service or return a phone once you have rooted if you can't undo Knox. ?

This will not reset knox, but it will get you back to official unrooted with factory recovery. I've personally had a rooted phone serviced at a corporate sprint center with no issue's. But some places care whole others don't, hope this helps.

As far as my store goes, we don't check to see if it was rooted or not as long as you're within the 14 day return policy and there aren't any damages to the phone.

I messed up and installed the Tmobile TWRP by mistake. Now my phone won't write to my ExtSD card. I want to go back to 'out-of-the-box' status and start over. Do I just need to Odin/flash the Stock-NIE-trltespr-recovery.tar file from the shabbypenguin site you listed, to go back to stock recovery, no root status?

In a word... YES! When you go back to stock, re-root, install the right recovery... If you still have write to external SD card issues, search "sd fix" here on XDA, run it and you'll be good to go.... Hope this helps...

I completely agree, it's by far the best!! I went from a LONG list of HTC's --> Note 2 --> Note 3 --> Note 4. Im shocked everytime I hear/read someone say that Note 3 --> Note 4 isn't much of an upgrade. They both have a 5.7" display, and a similar overall size, but that's where the similarities end. Note 4 is an absolute beast and destroys every other phone that's available!
I was going to use CS-Auto-Root but just had a couple questions. After reviving the tablet today, I did numerous updates. Would CF root still work with the new software? The only thing diffrent I can see is the build numberm does that matter? Details below, and thanks!

Android Version: 4.4.2
Build number: KOT49H.T700XXU1ANK2
Sorry if i'm posting to the wrong place!
It should work on most firmwares. If it doesnt it work it will not break anything. If cfautoroot doesnt work then you can use the twrp method.

Ok, thanks a lot! One question though, why not just use twrp first? Is it a lot harder or something?
I prefer cfautoroot. Its automated in which you just flash it and gives root. With twrp recovery, you have to flash it with odin. Then download a zip called supersu zip on your tab s. Then reboot back into recovery and flash it manually. Theres less steps with cfautoroot

It shouldnt break anything. Even if it fails or something happens, it just messes uo your recovery. You can easly fix this and just flash twrp over it. Both root methods will void warrenty so its best to be sure that your tablet isnt deffective. Wait a week or so in case. People had problems with battery and other stuff but they already void warrenty but still got it fixed as it was a hardware problem.

Correct, messing around doesn't void your hardware warranty, even though stores/manufacturers want you to think it does. You are allowed to use the item for which it is designed. If you are allowed to root it and mess around with it. Warranty remains since you used the device for what it is designed. If you hardbrick your device that's not covered, not because you rooted, but because you destroyed it. If your camera fails. That's a hardware issue and is non related to the modifications you made so that would be covered by warranty. Atleast that's how warranty works here in Belgium.
It worked!
Thanks everyone for the help, It rooted successfully!

Do a research about the new knox. It.s an e-fuse. Once that bit is burn on the emmc, it can.t be erased
However there might be at some point a kernel which spoof Knox. This won't reset warrznty but you'll at least br able to use things like pay
Ok, I have been looking for knox and e fuse and I totally understand now. To bad it is done this way.
