Hi. I have a MJ5 Note 3 rooted via Kingo, and it is completely stock other than that. The KNOX counters are still 0x0 and the Binary is still Samsung Official. However the system status shows Custom and I get the Custom padlock icon during boot. I have seen some references to Triangle Away being able to fix this on the Verizon variant. Has anyone tried Triangle Away on our N900A to remove the custom status? I'm a little hesitant to try it, because I don't want to chance it making one of the settings worse instead of better. I would like to hear if anyone has tried it on this phone and what the result was.
Thanks
Haven't used that. But Wanam exposed will remove the custom logo

I think it'll work, but why not just use Wanam?
It'll let you do a bunch of other things you want to do too (I don't know what you want to do, but I still feel pretty confident in saying that. The list of tweaks it enables is impressive), so you're going to end up installing it anyway.

To be honest, it is because I am familiar with Triangle Away and it's a simple app install. As for Wanam, I don't know anything about it or how to install it. It sounds like you first need to have the Xposed framework installed which I don't, and have never done either. I see a lot of people referencing Wanam and how useful it is, but I haven't run across a thread here in the AT&T Note 3 group that, explains where to get it and how to install it on the N900A.
Does it work with all firmware versions, is it easily reversible and the same goes for the Xposed framework?
It's an app on the play store. Just follow the instructions when u download it and it will install the framework. You need to be rooted first.

Xposed framework comes from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (I wasn't able to find it in the Play store)
It's one of those things where the app you download installs/uninstalls/manages the framework- it can be reversed by uninstalling through app, and then uninstalling the app.
It is compatible with almost any rooted android 4.0 or higher device.
Wanam comes from the app store, and supports touchwiz roms running android 4.2 or higher.
Those will both work with any version of the note 3 firmware.
I've never used triangle away; I don't understand the motivation for hiding the padlock. I got rid of it with Wanam, but that's certainly not what I got Wanam for.
I just downloaded Wanam and one of the options was to install the framework

Actually what I am trying to do is change the custom system status back to Normal. That is what Triangle Away is capible of doing on some devices that are not running a custom recovery, custom Rom or custom kernel. If all Wanam does is hide the Custom padlock at boot, but the Device status still shows as Custom in the settings, and system still shows Custom in Download mode, then I agree, its not a good use of the tool.

Just checked, Wanam makes it look normal in device status and download mode, it doesn't just remove the padlock.
I still don't understand why we care if it shows custom in device status and download mode. Does this cause problems with some other software?

Thank you for checking. Did you have to download a separate module for doing this, and if so, which one?
My phone is used for work at a large corporation, and they are funny about unauthorized modifications or "hacking".

Only module you need is Wanam (and the xposed framework, of course)
Ah, I see - I'm not sure how well this will work for hiding your root access from your IT department, since anyone who is even vaguely familiar with android hacking need only look at your app list to determine that you're rooted - otherwise why would you have SuperSU, TiBu, and all the rest of those lovely root-required apps installed.

Did you root while you had MJ5 and it didn't trip the counters? I'm suspicious of this Kingo app because I've never dealt with it before. My phone luckily has an older version so I was able to use the Root DeLaVega without issue, but my wife's Note 3 has MJ5 and I want to root it.
Also, Wanam is awesome. I used it to get rid of the Custom mark as well as many other things I love about my phone.

Yes I rooted while on MJ5 with Kingo and it didn't trip the KNOX counters or change the Binary status. All it did was change the system status to Custom and invoke the pad lock during boot. I installed Xposed Framework and Wanam this weekend and it repaired them both.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me with this process.

Kingo doesn't trip the counters.
There's also this method of rooting, which uses the trick used by RDLV - it's a bit of a big deal, though, since it's meant to be a way to recover from a bricked/mangled device:

I watched a few YouTube videos while researching it, and I found several saying it tripped their KNOX flags, that's why I was worried. I successfully used it to root my wife's Note 3 last night without issue. So I had no problems. She too is on MJ5.

Is there a workaround to get it working? I used root cloak on my note 3 but xposed isn't compatible with our phones or aosp in general.
Not until we get xposed back. I have a module just for this, however, it won't do us any good right now.
Injecting APKs is gone too.
ok so im trying to root my s5 so i can use my app radio touch screen function. Towel root doesn't work on my phone because its a newer kernal and has been "fixed". I was wondering if there was any other way to root my phone or at least make it permissive so i can use my app radio touch screen function to control the phone. I see there is talk about the guy who made the towel root working for google now so there is no way of getting an updated towel root. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Guys, I know a lot of people here on xda cannot go on their daily lives without root on their phone, but there are these pain in the bottom applications that refuse to run when root is detected. my only means of hiding root back then was using an xposed module, may I know if someone else have an idea on how to hide root from apps? thanks in advance!~
SuperSU Pro has the option that works for some apps. Not sure if it is in the standard version.
Best solution is to boycott HBO.
root cloak still works with 5.1.1. you can find it here in the forums. get the latest alpha version and it should work.
banking app, not baking app, f**ks sake
Hello there. I have been using stock android 7.1.1 for a while and decided to try using roms again (Pure Nexus). One of the apps that i need is "Vipps" its a Norwegian banking app used to transfer money to friends and stuff, but its notorious for finding root. I used to use xposed and root cloak on android 6, but i know well it dosent work with 7. Magisk dosent hide it, suhide dosent hide it.
After installing Vipps it rejects opening promting me with "Vipps does not support rooted devices". Only thing is its running a ROM that comes with no root.
- Cheers, Kristiansja
edit: root checker doesn't find annything either

Go into the root settings and remove root. Mind you this cause some of the features of the rom to stop working. Apps like that are not only looking for root but also for unlocked bootloaders. So if those apps are important to you then might want to stick to a fully stock set up and relock your bootloader.

Go into developer option and turn off USB debugging. After that, reboot the phone and see if Vipps is working. If that doesn't work, I have one more suggestion.
It's probably checking ro.build.tags and/or ro.build.type. These are set to test-keys and userdebug on PN (if I remember correctly) and some apps need them to be set to release-keys and user. It could also be looking for other prop values and possibly also busybox (also included in PN, I believe).
Or BusyBox...
