Hey guys just a quick question about rooting I'd like to root my device I'm on the latest mh8 firmware and have all my apps installed! If I flash cf auto root and then Philz recovery will I lose my apps and settings or should I do a factory reset and root from a clean base...this is my 1st time rooting my s4 and was wondering if I can with my apps already installed .... cheers guys

No i cant i already install the drivers and all that stuff i think something is wrong with my pc i will go to a ciber
once you install your custom recovery you can flash the latest version of SU before you flash a rom. as long as the superuser zip sucessfully installs there shouldnt be a problem. viola you now have root via recovery. this is how i actually rooted my phone and i have had zero issues from day one....keep in mind this is not really one of the supported methods of rooting so if something goes wrong make sure you know how to troubleshoot.
I used safe root method for my I9500 bt during the installation my device didnt rebooted and i got this super user app installed n when i open it it gives me that error. I dont want to trip knox flag so any other suggestions rather than flashing custom rom.

Do a complete unroot from SuperSU.... Reboot... After rebooting re-root your phone thru odin...
U should be all set... By the way, when it asks to update the binary, use the normal method....
Good luck!!!

Hi guys.
Question... Some custom roms require you to be rooted to then install a recovery to then backup your efs partition. Is this true? I think I've flashed twrp, then backed up everything I wanted too (not rooted) then just flashed a custom rom. All to lost are rooted anyway and the root part as far as I know is in the system. So does it matter if you root before recovery? Or can I just flash twrp, backup efs, then flash say xnote?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, as most custom roms are pre-rooted you can just nandroid backup and EFS and after that flash the rom. You will not be able to restore apps with Titanium Backup as TB requires root. If you have a TB backup on your computer stored you can restore user apps and data after the flash.
Thanks gee2012.
The only benefit to rooting before recovery flash is to use like you said TB to backup your stuff?
It doesn't bear any difference when flashing the recovery does it?
On this, one other thing, there's no known way of flashing twrp without tripping Knox is there?

Nope, all KK roms (i think from MJ4 and up) trip the KNOX warranty void, no workaround so far. TB backsup and restores user apps and data while the nandroid backup does the whole rom (user and system data).
Spose I could backup then restore in the custom rom from TB from nandroid backup couldn't I? TB had that functionality last time I used it I think.
Is the latest version 2.7 of twrp? Or would you recommend CWM at the moment?
Thank again mate, this is all very helpful. Feel like a noob with all this Knox crap, I've been flashing for years but, I always make sure I know what I'm getting into before I do.
Just found out too, if I rooted in 4.3, I could if kept root to 4.4.2 then used mobile Odin to flash roms haha. And kept Knox from tripping... Oh hang on, a custom kernel would probably tripped it anyway...

For me it seems CWM is more stable atm then TWRP. Try Philz Touch CWM or Chenglu CWM and keep the one you like most. Flash the downloaded .tar files with Odin 3.07.
Thanks mate. Oh well, here we go, tripping Knox!! Haha.
Might go for CWM then.
Thanks again.

Make sure to disable Kies in windows task manager before you use Odin, it might interfere and faill the operation and enable usb debugging on the phone and uncheck reactivation lock in security.

I'm having trouble finding a mod/rom that is compatible with the verizon samsung galaxy note 3, Anyone know what is?
Really don't understand you ? There several roms with galaxy note 3 ..but the question is are you rooted ..do you have safestrap installed ..which version of android are you on 4.3mje / 4.4.2 NC4 ...are you rooted you would get better results with all of that included in your question ...

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?
From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

Install ROM manager from playstore,then install Clockwordmode recovery from its recovery setup.
After you have successfully installed CWM recovery in your phone you can flash SuperSU update zip in recovery mod to root your phone.
