bro just to correct you, the term is you "bricked" not bridge

just an advise to those who want to root their phones make sure you know what are the consequenses of rooting.

Read, read and read more before jumping the ship

 

[marcus70]

thks for the correction..truth need to read up first b4 you rush into it

rooted the set and installed pen window manager.
super convenient for multi tasking.
can just minimize the apps into a floating bubble and recall them to use again.

yes i am using tat app too

brillant must have app but such a pity the note 3 screen is too small, note 10.1 2014edition will be perfect.

ya, that would be the ideal.
i bet it can work on the 10.1 2014 edition.

so now lets say after we root using Root dela vega without Knox triggered. Then later if the phone got a hardware problem, anything we need to do b4 sending to svc centre so that they dont know it is rooted? delele SuperUser app?

maybe you need to flash the stock rom which will removed the root and makes your rom official again..

no, i mean just root without flashing custom ROM.. some of the guys here say flashing ROM will trigger Knox counter..

when sending for repair in stock ROM (but rooted)... even Knox not triggered, the staff there will know if the phone is rooted if they want to (eg, check if SuperUser, TitaniumBackup are installed, etc..)... so just need to delete those apps before sending?

Read the xda forum carefully before you use the method to root.. There is a csc and ap combo that will still trip the knox when rooting using LA Vegas method

Take heed.. Read more before doing so

Btw, so far I am still surviving without root. Thanks to helium

 

[grey-fox]

rooted using the Root de la Vega method.

Now, there is OTA update being downloaded automatically. I wouldn't want to risk allowing it to update, but the reminder keep popping up every 3 hours, and the OTA icon is always up there in the notification bar. Anyone know how to make the OTA reminder and OTA icon disappear?

TIA

 

[wilflare]

hmm. didn't know there is a new OTA update. :X

 

[grey-fox]

It's just say "improved stability". Size is 30.01 MB, I don't know if it is firmware related or not. I don't want to risk trying to install it. But seeing the icon there somehow irritates me

oh did you just get the phone recently?
hmm I have installed the update before I rooted my phone

you can use TB and freeze Software Updates

 

[grey-fox]

Yeah, I got it Sunday afternoon, and it gets rooted by Sunday evening

Ok, thanks.

Just freeze the Software update apps in TB.

I also have not update my software after getting the last one N9005XXUBMJ1 and so far no problem.

@grey-fox,

XXUBMI7 -- that will be the AP file I downloaded from xda, according to what *#1234# tells me.

@aroana: thanks, I did that, and so far no problem as well -- except that I had some bluetooth pairing issue with my SocBlue SIM, but after a reboot the pairing works fine.

bros, how to check Knox counter?
