Hi I am new to the Note 3 forum and have a Att Note 3 on NC2 and want to find out the most recent or easiest way to get root? I had a Lg G3 rooted running custom roms but it got destroyed at work so I had to get something quick that is how I ended up with a Note 3. Anyway I am having a hard time figuring out what is the correct way to get root and flash custom roms. Also any recommendations for apps, themes, roms, etc! There is a ton of info but hard to find out the exact method to root and start flashing but I want to make sure it's done right. Thanks!

here you go and before flashing any roms do some research the note 3 for att is different the bootloader is locked
Hey thanks!
That is Towelroot correct? I am just about to DL and run it but just wanted to be sure that I don't miss any steps. So I just DL and run apk right? Thanks again for the file and anyone who wants to recommend a good ROM for a Note 3 that would be great also!
No root after Towelroot on NC2 and I tried 3 times!
I used Towelroot just as I was supposed to but cant get root or install Busybox. I tried the file that I was given it didnt work and then I seen that there is a new version of Towelroot v3 but it didnt work either. I even tried to disable Knox with SU from play store after Towelroot but it can't not disable Knox. Then I used package disabler to disable Knox and it worked to disable Knox but still can't get root with Towelroot it didn't error or anything it said you should have root now but nope! What the heck am I doing wrong? I am not happy about the future of my Note 3 and I will try something else if someone could help me. My phone is weird cause it does not have a update option at all in about phone settings! Oh boy what have I bought? Seems hard to get help anymore but I guess people are busy these days. Thanks again for any help!
I believe the bootloader is locked which means you can only install tw-based custom ROMs.
According to this thread, nc2 can be rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/root-lollipop-att-note-3-safestrap-t3132475

that is strange you might have a fake you could try downloading the stock files and odin flashing them and try to root agian
Thanks for your help.
I found out its a phone from a rental center that had been paid for but they do some kind of a custom edit to settings. So I will probably be able to get it rooted thru my pc just not around it right now. I am not real happy about the fact it isn't completely stock cause like I said there is no option to update in the settings at all. Anyway I will have to wait until I get back home or find another route to root or at least update to lollipop! Thanks and if you are able to help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I have a N950F XEF without root and I am trying to access the menu of the service mode, in order to get more network control (for example, force a particular LTE band). I have tried to access the menu by the *#0011#, "back" and "Q0000" method but it does not work. Is there a functional way to access this menu without root?

You'rs is not the first post on this, don't believe they are working on the Note 8.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/dialer-codes-t3675526
Use either Shortcut Master or Phone INFO app (same developer) & launch 27663368378 to get to that menu. You can also use adb to do it but using one of those apps is so much easier.

Thank you but this code does not work.

In fact, Phone info just advises us to dial *#0011# if our phone is not rooted.

Try *#2263#. This menu will only allow you to make minimal changes but you can disable specific bands with this menu. The other menu gives you pretty much full access but it does require root. That I did not initially know as I root all my phones.

Hi, can you give me the instructions on how to do it thru adb?

Codes are CSC dependent.
Your best hope is to change your CSC with the one that support those codes.
Example: XTC.
On XTC, *#2263# works and you can choose your desired LTE band.
If you want to activate the dialer codes you need to have root access and you'll only have to do this one time and it'll stick across rom flashes and firmware updates.. You need to go into the main root folder then go into
/efs/carrier and then look for HiddenMenu now open HiddenMenu with a text editor and change OFF to ON an then your codes will all work and you absolutely need root access to get into the efs folder to begin with but like I said it only has to be done 1 time and you won't have to do it again!
Anyone know how to find the EFS/carrier folder in Android 9 on Galaxy Note 9 Pie? It's not there and also with search no carrier folder.
I have rootet Note 9 with DBT CSC and even with Apps like Samsung Phone Info or Shortcut Master (Granted Root Access) the dialer Codes are not working if launched even Rooted

What apps have you tried, to view the folders?
Use an app like root browser.
It won't show up in Samsung's file manager, or in windows explorer (when connected to computer)

Just granting root access is not enough you need a file explorer that allows you to go into it's settings so you can tell it to "show" the hidden files and folders.. They're currently "hidden" which is why you can't find them.

Hello friend, I have a verizon model and I thought I would never see any good custom rom.
I would like to try it, but first I would like to know if this process increases the number of knox.
my phone has never been uploaded from knox x0.0, it has never been rooted or anything like that
Just one request.. please get the center clock mod and battery indicator mods back from the noname ROM in the next version. This has been great so far on battery and all. In the past I only needed root for batch restore of apps via TiBu and the hacked Wifi Tether since I'm still on Old VZW grandfathered plan.. but this ROM is still going well. I tried restoring 3minit Battery mod but it did not go well.. lol No hurry.. Thanks again!!!

In the folder with all the stuff right click with mouse inside that folder and choose open command window here. In that command window type Verizon.bat hit enter
Does this work using some kind of engineering recovery/bootloader? Before I know that it wasn't possible to modify files inside the standard recovery image.
Could we also make modifications to the system and data partitions using this recovery(flashing the custom BL, making changes, and then going back) rather than the eng kernel? I had experimented with making tar backups of the /data partition with the eng boot.img in the past but they were unstable as I was reading and writing to a mounted partition.
I flash often so this would save having to resetup all the items that smartsync doesn't catch.
Great job by the way on this! I just had a question regarding the phone UI. The places tab, are you able to get this to work? I personally don't know what is missing to enable this. Any help would be appreciated. Again great job though on this ROM!

Been saying in my case is not working , got new laptop and adb command is working , i can run root command or add block , but i cant run it in this rom and i dont know why . Any tips ? Thank you.
Does your workplace have a BYOD policy that enforces full device encryption?
Have you already unlocked your bootloader and rooted your device, thus tripping Samsung Knox?
Have you tried to use Android Work Profile only to find out that "Your custom OS" does not allow it even if you reverted to stock and unrooted? (I know, right?)
Here is the solution...
Steps
Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP.
(Thanks dr.ketan and geiti94)
Install the Dev-Base ROM and force Encryption by using the Dev-base ROM file name tags/triggers. (Thanks _alexndr)
Upon booting for the first time, setup pin with the checkbox for booting with pin protection. (This is full device Encryption).
Reboot
Enable Multi User (Samsung has disabled this by default)
arpanbag1996 said:
Enable multi-user feature on your Android one phone (running Android 5.1 Lollipop) without flashing .zip through custom recovery. All you need is root access.
Just go to /system , edit your "build.prop" file and add the following lines:
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Save and reboot your phone. Done! Tested on Micromax Canvas A1.

Add another user in settings>accounts.
Switch to second user and add your work account.
Make sure not to use any app that removes full device encryption. (Example: bxActions)
I've done this on my own device (SM-960F/DS) and it works great!
Let me know if anyone had success with any other ways to do this. I'm always open to suggestions.
Reserved for updates and alternatives
Thanks a lot for this guide! However, unless I'm missing something here, this method doesn't create an actual work profile, but a rather a seperate user on the device that's devoted just for the G Suite account (as adding my G Suite account on the sub user does not even prompt me to create a Work Profile). On my current device, ZTE Axon 7, where I can use work profile version and my personal gmail app side by side as if they are two separate apps, instead having to switch user account.
And of course, I can just add my G Suite account to my main user since I guess I'll trade a bit of my privacy from corporate IT for convenience sake. On the other hand I wonder if @_alexndr can consider enabling this feature in DevBase...
Or use an app like Nine (by 9Folders) that enforces Exchange Security at the app level and doesn't require the device to be secure.
Or you can use Exchained to bypass the policy entirely for Exchange based BYOD policies.

I'm pretty sure this thread is about G Suite and Android work profile and not the Microsoft's stuff?

No, it is about Android Work profile.
Microsoft Itunes use Work profile
G Suite Idk use work profile
But All MDM use work profile since android 9 ( maybe 8)
This thread should be on every samsung device. Because the issue is caused by knox.
Would this work for my Samsung A70. Really looking for a answer.
I'm confused. So which option should I choose out of the above replies and OP's suggestion? I want to have my work account on my personal device. But my phone is rooted, Knox triggered.
"island" is the app you are looking for
Updated long back but still works pretty fine.
Try "island" from playstore
Not updated from quite long but will do the job.

I installed Island and its gives me "cannot create work profile" error. Tried to setup Island with root, and I got stage 1 error.
Remove knox
Knox uses the same method as island to create work profile. Try installation after removing Knox.
Is possible i use in n950f? i lost the work profile installing the rom deluxe, and i need to work.
Hey Guys, i also have a fresh rooted and with custom rom installed Samsung (S10e but i assume the model doesn't matter for this topic).
I also have a GSuite account from my company and don't get it managed to istalla work profile on my phone.
Just getting a error that i use an modified ROM and therefore a work profile cannot be installed.
I know such similar issues from my pixel 3 where i just use Magisk hide which unfortunately don't work on the Samsung.
Also tried exchained and Island app (cannot be installed) which also don't really work.
For me the app Island work!!! Really thanks i use deluxe Room in note 8.
But the add a icon in initial menu the icon os the same, dont haver a small bag BLUE in bottom

can you share how you did this? which MDM solution are you using?
Maybe he can fix the job profile just like patching the security folder, so that he can work on the device that Knox tripped over! There will always be incompatibility when setting the island！

Can and how do we root the spring note 9?
I use to root my phones all the time but it's been over 5 years since I have done one and it appears that it has changed. I only need root so I can use android auto mirror function in my car. Thanks
Root does not yet exist for the carrier branded Note 9 in the US
Has this been solved yet?
Just look in the General Discussion section of the forum.

There are multiple threads discussing elliwigy's root method, but you just need to read this https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-proof-of-concept-root/ to know that it is not something you want to try on your daily driver. It is entirely impractical.
