If you root your phone now, you’ll trip the knox counter and void the warranty permanently. If you are Android enthusiast and don’t need warranty, go for it, if you want free services from Samsung’s service centers don’t do it. Wait for 1 year and wait for warranty to be finished.
has anyone used this process and rooting was successful?
please i need to know, because i have tried some many different processes on differents sites,but the samsung security on the android 4.3 JB keeps blocking the superSU.
so, has this process been successful??
Android 4.3 XXUEMK4 stock ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100. Regarding the KNOX, I haven’t even opened the app. I have tried to root several times, but it keeps activating KNOX warning and leaves me to install the ROM over again with Odin. Anyways is there any way it will work with your process and 100% rooting without tripping the KNOX warnings and that SuperSU will work? Your answer will be much appreciated.
While you have installed the latest 4.3 firmware, the Knox warranty void has been activated on your bootloader now. If you will root your phone now, or flash a custom rom, you will trip the knox counter to 1 and that will not be in the favor if you want to claim the warranty.
There is no method to root the phone without tripping the knox counter as off now.
This method is working, i’ve verified it by myself, but again the thing is using it will trip your knox, so if you don’t care for the warranty then go for it, after you gain root access install Titanium Backup and freeze Knox, things should be working fine.
Hi Usama, thanx for replying back and giving me the info. Will try again and luckily I have purchased Titanium Backup Pro previously. So hope it will freeze KNOX this time for good!
@ajtex:disqus Hit the little button with a tick on it in the top right corner inside Titanium and find the freeze option by scroll down and move to alphabet “K” and select all Knox apps and freeze them. Use any root app after that you will not get any error.
This is Great! now that you have this working for the Note running 4.3 how do we take this to make it work on a Gs4 running 4.3? right now people running 4.3 MJ7 can’t install any custom recovery. Do you know anyone working on this? and how much progress have they made?
@krisgauthier:disqus Yup, i searched for the Verizon Galaxy S4, although i have the guides for all other S4 Variants but not for the Verizon one only, i hope that there will be a custom recovery soon, the problem is that Verizon Galaxy S4 needs to get its bootloader unlocked, only then you can install a custom recovery, but let’s see the Developers can do anything anytime..
@disqus_NYXCqdYoG0:disqus How did you disable? If you freezed it, it won’t cause any issues, perhaps if you face issues, you can factory reset and freeze it using titanium backup.
I successfully install the TWRP Recovery on my phone. But when i Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key simultaneously. It doesnt enter the TWRP Recovery mode but the android system recovery. What happened?
This is my TWRP Recovery status:
Added!! Removed!! Added!! Odin v.3 engine (ID:8).. File analysis.. SetupConnection.. Initialzation.. Get PIT for mapping.. Firmware update start.. recovery.img NAND Write Start!! RQT_CLOSE !! RES OK !! Removed!! Removed!! Removed!! Remain Port …. 0 All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
I am a note II GT-N7100 user, running latest official android update 4.3. I also had a Samsung Knox installed. After flashing the recovery, i still cant access to TWRP Recovery as mention above. An in addition, the knox are now cant be used, “Your device are not authorized to access Knox Mode”.
oh. You can try flashing a stock firmware now, flash it and do not enable knox, just leave it as it is and then flash this TWRP. let me know if it works or not, i’ll find some other solution.
I already flashed back the stockroom to its original stock. But the Knox application are already being enabled and i still cant access it to uninstall. I noticed my Knox counter also increased to 1.
Is it true? THe knox flag is an EFUSE, you will NEVER be able to reset it back to 0. It is PHYSICALLY destroyed in the S800 chip and there is no way to change that fact. The best you can hope for custom bootloader that fakes the flag. But they will always be able to check the flag.
@giotarakji:disqus yes you can root it after flashing Android 4.3 using this guide. In case you face difficulties with Knox, install Titanium Backup and freeze all knox apps on Android 4.3
I installed CWM via Odin but my NOTE 2 GT-N7100 is still going only in Android stock recovery… I’ve tried the same with philz_touch v5 and v6 but after VOL UP + HOME + POWER I still get only Android recovery… PLEASE HELP…
I have tried this step but when I boot into recovery it still went to stock recovery.
I already had stockrom 4.3 I downloaded via wifi.
If I should flash the stock firmware, could you please tell me where i can download it cuz I updated 4.3 via wifi.
Plz help n thanks
@jannahtees:disqus which recovery did you flash? for Android 4.3 we have recommended TWRP, not CWM. Anyways, find the stock android 4.3 here: http://Samsung-updates.com
I flashed TWRP and I already on stock android 4.3 baseband n7100xxuemj9

Loading...
@jannahtees:disqus first flash new firmware and then flash twrp! you’ve done something wrong in the process.

Is this guide also usable for Samsung Note 2 N7105 LTE ?
My Samsung Note 2 is on Jelly Bean 4.3 but already rooted without using SuperSu. To follow this tutorial, do I need to unroot my device again ?
@nay_lin_aung:disqus this is only for GT N7100, however you can flash recovery for N7105 and flash this SuperSu using the same guide. If your device is already rooted and you only need a custom recovery, you may not root it again. Simply flash CWM or TWRP.
Hi I done the recovery part but the supersu.zip thats provided dznt install fully,ive downloaded the supersu app also but it wont open cause the device is stll not rooted
I already flashed it in twrp recovery under apply update from external sd,but it starts installing then fails showing E: failed to apply whole-ly. Now my phone’s still not rooted and shows no service. Wht do I do cz I realy wnt to root my phne…thnx for replying.
Sorry I got it all wrong,I flashed twrp using odin,bt it seems tht im still running on android recovery,thats y the su ddnt work. Now shuld I flash with stock firmware first and then with twrp or how do I go about the whole situation…sorry and thnx
@disqus_GR4FVDbCCM:disqus You can either flash a twrp recovery first and give it a try, if it doesn’t work, you may install stock firmware and then flash the recovery and it should work fine. Good Luck.
Hey Good evening..
I rooted my gt 7100 now I have came to unrroted version of galaxy note 2 but now my knox is saying I don’t have authorized access to it.

hey thanks for response
but i have given my phone to samsung service center because last night i updated it to 4.4.2 kit kat and phone stuck on samsung logo.
all i want to know that does motherboard change can fix the issue
is there any other issue which can cause my phone still in vain after motherboard change
@nawabsahab:disqus the issue you were facing would have been fixed by flashing stock firmware, however this isn’t a thing to worry about, and you don’t need a board replace for boot screen stuck.
I have installed Knox in my note 2 with official android 4.3 . Can I still root my phone or there will be some problem
If you root your phone now, you’ll trip the knox counter and void the warranty permanently. If you are Android enthusiast and don’t need warranty, go for it, if you want free services from Samsung’s service centers don’t do it. Wait for 1 year and wait for warranty to be finished.
so, this process successfully roots galaxy note 2 gt-n7100 running android 4.3 jelly bean?
@itsmasta:disqus Yes it does, it will also root if you have older android version.
Can i use this if my phone is simlocked to a carrier?
My phone is locked on a carrier. Can i still root?
@disqus_PS7vj1BqnO:disqus if its N7100 or N7105 you can root it.
hello! is this process succesfull? just need confirmation.

Go For IT! Verified by myself 🙂

We have a root method but currently lack the ability to install custom roms because there are no working custom recoveries sorry if I was unclear

@disqus_NYXCqdYoG0:disqus How did you disable? If you freezed it, it won’t cause any issues, perhaps if you face issues, you can factory reset and freeze it using titanium backup.
I did nt freeze it. I uninstalled it using titanium backup. I am nt fcing any issues till nw
@disqus_NYXCqdYoG0:disqus its ok then, keep it going.
