The phone does not have to be connected to the internet, but it does need to be connected to the PC and the PC does need an internet connection.

Yes, you will lose root with any official update completed using cable and pc

Is there anyway to force an OTA update?

Does this mean I could keep root when *not* using cable, but OTA?
Additionally I have SuperSU with root survival mode which is my last hope to keep root...
Thanks
Is there a way to root MJ5?
thanks!!!
I'd also like to know this. It's killing me not having root.
I used Kingo. Scary.

I didn't think the current version of Kingo Root worked for MJ5. I know Kingo Root is suppose to be releasing a version 2 of their root method... Been searching for a way to root MJ5 as well after mine auto updated, making me lose root...:crying:

Hmmm might have to give kingo a shot again. Didn't work for me before the update :/

On page 98 of root de la vega designgears posted a universal root method for when a new firmware drops. Haven't personally tried it yet though

I am rooted with Kingo and MJ5, working fine. I did have to re-root after the OTA update though.

Looks like urdlv only works with MJ1 at the moment.

I was rooted with Kingo before OTA. Unrooted to get uodate. Then rerooted. Took about 10 times for Kingo version 1.1.2 to recognize my phone but it finally worked.

i heard kingo has a malware?
Well from what I understand people thought that because of the imei being sent out. However this is not 100% reliable.... I am going to attempt to root with kingo again myself.

Just rooted with kingo about 30 mins ago so far no issues although the process was kind of iffy. Seems like it just keeps trying different methods until its rooted. It never even got to the screen that said I was rooted I just opened supersu after like the 3rd time and I was rooted so I just unplugged it.
Edit: by the way I had to use a USB cord from my note 2 the 3.0 cable didn't work at all.

I couldn't root via Root De La Vega. I actually bricked and had to odin the stock PIT back to the phone. I then found out is was because I was on MJ5, I downloaded Kingo, hooked up the phone and it rooted it painlessly. Thanks Kingo!
Thank You!
Like some of you guys, i was able to root with Kingo version 1.1.2
Thank You!
I also was finally able to get root using Kingo. Ended up having to use a different computer and a usb 2.0 cable, instead of the 3.0 cable that came with the phone. Now I can stop debating on wether or not to return my Note 3. :good:

I believe that since its more or less a universal method one click it has to figure out what device you're using. Thus why it appears to keep trying. And yeah the you're rooted screen took a bit to come up when I did it the 2nd time

Well, I'm New on android environment, first device, and although I have modded many Motorola's and Sony Ericsson's phones, **** changes fast and I'm really outdated.
So, the problem is, I don't have a internet connection home, so I have downloaded all the stuff I need to root my XSP, but when I put it on debug usb mode, or doesn't install c5303 device that appear on device manager.
I did some search and I found that only pc companion can install it. I've downloaded that, on my phone to install on the pc, but inside pc companion is support zone, and I can't download that because I stint have internet connection.
I will be thanks if somebody could get the driver it self, or pack support zone into rar file and send me... or do something so that I don't need to go a lan house just to root my phone

I have tried kingo with no success. For some reason it gives me a "ROOT FAIL- NOT SUPPORT" message during the " Downloading requisite dependency files..." part. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh and yes, I have done my share of searching..

their servers might be down I would try again later
Make sure your display timeout is set to 10 minutes.
If you have KIES installed. Completely remove it and get the drivers alone from Samsung's website. I had similar issues.

Are you running MJ5 or NB4? If you're using NB4 you need Kingo 1.1.8. That's the only version that will work.
Im running MJ5...

Hey guys, it's safe to root my s3 gt-i9305 (Android 4.3) by Odin mobile? (I know I will lose my warranty). It's the same thing than use Odin for PC? I will use Cf auto root. Thanks in advance

I would appreciate a answer...

you can't use odin mobile unless you're rooted. so you can't use OM to root your phone, because you have no root priviledges required to run OM.
so, as long as you're non-rooted, you have to use desktop odin
But I can't plug the phone to my computer.. Give me always a error!

I moved from Miui to Stock using Odin Mobile and after that I was not able to connect my phone to my computer.
The error message basically says USB device not recognized or malfunctioned.
You can see my post in Q&A - no solution so far.
I am about to give up and trade in my phone with the telco.
are you guys able to connect in download mode? if yes, flash your firmware again using ODIN
maybe there's some issue related to bootloader/firmware version conflict resulting in USB issues

EDIT: just noticed you've got similar answer in the parallel thread an hour ago
But.. I don't want do brick my phone again, I already bricked him once, I just want to root him, nothing else.. If Odon detect the phone and the PC doesn't there is any problem? The probability of brick the phone increase? Thanks
