Can't root

Universal androot didn't work, z4root didn't work, superoneclick failed and its starting to drive me insane enable root access is hidden from the hidden menu please help thanks in advance
Sorry if it has been posted somewhere else I searched but I couldn't find anything to help

Hi, what ROM did you used?
If you're using custom ROM, not stock ROM, it has already root.

nope im trying to root my friends phone for him he's on stock rom. i have rooted lots of other phone with superoneclick without any roblems but this ones a bit tricky :\

I'm afraid that you will have to flash custom ROM into it.

How can I flash a custom Rom onto it if its not even rooted?

You DO NOT have to root the GT540 to install Custom ROMs. You will need to flash a "Fastboot ROM" to install Recovery and Custom ROMs. There are plenty of guides here and on MoDaCo on how to flash custom ROMs. If a guide tells you to root your phone before flashing a ROM, don't. You don't have to.
Hope it helps,
Jack

No problems mate, It's just the GT540 differs from the rest in this case. I still stick to my views and think every phone should have an unlockable or already unlocked bootloader, Where no flash or w/e is necessary lol

Need Stock Rom w/ root

Did something stupid that I never ever do. I forgot to back up my STOCK ROOTED rom.
I usually do this before flashing any roms in case i wanted to flash back. Anyone have a stock, unmolested, rooted rom for N4?
Or is there a thread with the stock roms? (remember reading something about Google removing it from their site) :

Flash the stock ROM in fastboot. Then flash recovery and then the su.zip
You'll be stock with root permissions.
See jubakuba's sticky if you need help.

[Q]

supppose my phone is not rooted i am using a sgy
what if i directly flash rom zip
will it work?
If it work what is thee need of an update zip?

The need if a update.zip is to root your phone only and install the superuser app. It is safer to root before u flash because the chances of success are higher. If u got bricked go here to ask.

Unless there is a theme style then there isn't a way.
Also you should have posted this here to get an answer to your query.

Your topic heading makes it seem like it's a how-to xD you might wanna be a bit more careful with the headings...
Also, I'm 99.99% sure you cannot install CM without rooting. Well, you might be able to just flash recovery and flash CM on it, but I won't advise something I haven't done

rooting before flashing a custom rom is useless, flashing recovery and then flashing a custom rom is how it should be done.. but ppl have just made rooting one of the steps, and now new users think rooting is actually necessary to flash a custom rom..

I've almost given up on successfully rooting and installing custom ROM on my Galaxy Note3 (N900V) It seemed that there were roadblocks at every method that I thought would work with my Verizon Note 3. The above quote suggest (to me) that rooting is no longer necessary but that it can be done simply by flashing a recovery (CWM or TWRP??) and then flashing the custom ROM.
Instructions usually assume a Windows computer to flash via usb cable. I'm running Linux so where can a find a step by step guide that will let me install Cyanogenmod or some other custom ROM that will let me debloat, and perhaps improve function on my Note 3 which I plan to be keeping for the foreseeable future.

Suggest you ask in the forum for your model .

Doesn't the Verizon version of the Note 3 have a locked bootloader that must be unlocked before flashing TWRP or a non-TW based ROM? Heimdall can flash TWRP in Linux: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

Doesn't the Verizon version of the Note 3 have a locked bootloader
yes its locked .
