Anyone have a feel if we will be able to root the note3 on VZW?
Depends, how is your progress going on a device that hasnt even been released yet?

Question I have is,will Knox security be an issue in the future with changing roms etc

I think you can better ask @Chainfire about it ...
.
Root is one thing,changing roms,recovery,kernel another
I know cf is doing anything he can and I really appreciate that

I know its easy to be an armchair spectator, but I have confidence that Chainfire will get us root on the GN3. Its bootloader unlock and the ability to get custom recovery I feel may not happen on certain carriers (AT&T, Verizon). Still root does a lot to make the phones even more useful.

Saw a good deal for a new Galaxy S4 for $79 + $70 trade in on my old HTC One. So only $10 for the New S4: )
But reading around people saying the New S4 firmware has a hard lock on it and not easy to root and only one or two roms working on it?
I was gonna root it and put the Google Play Edition ROM on it but some say that's not possible on new S4 from ATT carriers now?

You should do some searching but the s4 with mf3 can be rooted. I know they're not going to have the the new 4.3 update on it yet. But I'd say get the s4 and use the kingo root method.
Use this guide for rooting

Root doesn't mean unlocked. You can be rooted and still have a locked bootloader.did you read before posting? I'm not trying to come off rude.

You will be able to root the AT&T Galaxy S4 easily, almost everyone here in this AT&T S4 forum
already has rooted their phones and have flashed custom roms without any issues.
Good luck!
MF3 can be rooted but you can't flash a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) If you're asking if you can root the device and flash a custom rom, it all depends on your AT&T store. Try and go to your AT&T store and before they unbox the S4 and start activating everything, make sure you tell them you want a phone with the firmware MDL on it. If they don't have any with the firmware MDL, tough luck. If you get an S4 with MF3, you can only root.
Not only root.
Root it and install Safestrap to install most TW based ROMs that run 4.2.2
Most important is to lube your eyes and
READ/SEARCH all info to do with your build or you will be a victim of the I bricked my phone cause I can't read.you can Google anything to do with your phone and ad "xda" to the search and you will find what you are looking for.

Last two phones I had, the Nexus 4, and Note 2 on ATT, were easy as pie to root and install recovery, and that was it, you were done forever, just flash a ROM + Kernel, reboot and bam you had a fresh new ROM to enjoy, and was so easy and fast to do get it installed, was a no brainer. What happened in the past year with phones being so locked down so hard, where you can't just do that anymore ?
Wish all Android phones were as simple as a Nexus to flash rom's on. But I don't want the Nexus 5 phone with tiny battery, I like bigger batteries or removable, and more storage options, etc...
Yes it can be rooted using the external sd card method. Its actually easy to do.

Thank you. So I can root it no problem, but then it's a matter of very select ROM's available due to my firmware ? And none of them can be 4.3 based ? Which the S4 doesn't even officially have yet, but not even the Google Play Edition ROM that is 4.3 can be installed on this firmware, only the older 4.2.2 version ?
Ok, so I root with using 'Kingo' method
Then install the safestrap .apk, and install that
And then install only a ROM on the provided list, which will all be 4.2.2 based only ? Still rather have any of those, than just stock TW out of the box unrooted
All correct

You can put Google play edition ROMs on but not the 4.3 as stated in the guide. The only real problem for me is that it seems to use more battery than tw roms. And you don't have all the features as your tw based ROMs on the gpe ROMs. Some tw ROMs are just as fast if not faster. Fast speeds and great battery life can't go wrong with that.

You guys recommend a new S4, or the LG G2 ?
Thing is the G2 development is very sparse, and cases and accessories few and little for the G2. And what about resale down the road in a year or 18 months ? Which will fetch better trade in money the S4 or G2 ?
Thanks.

Hey guys! So i just switched from a sprint note 3 to a verizon note 3. I NEED root but my company uses mobile iron. Is there a way to use it and keep root?
Also whats the best way to root this? All I want is root no custom recover.
haha good bc cystom recovery isn't possible atm on retail verizon note 3. seems like vroot is the only way to go right now without tripping knox but do ur research.

believe it or not I like the stock rom (this is the first phone I have ever been able to say that with)
So vroot... hmmm I shall look into it. But I still need to know about the mobile iron.
well I should have been more specific we can flash roms and some mods with safestrap (a sorta of custom bootloader workaroundl). but we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels.

Try Rootcloak to hide root from the app. Works for another MDM software similar to that.
Edit:
Use the one from xposed framework. In not sure if the one from the play store works.
Can you link me to it?

Ok so kingo did not work.. Vroot. Did the trick. I did a factory reset after that and now I'm rooted. I loaded the new framework and root cloak. I will let you all know of it works.

Hello everyone. From what I've ready, Samsung has a way of knowing when you root your phone thanks to the Knox counter. I understand people have ways around it, but frankly, I understand why Samsung does it and don't mind losing my warranty.
I do wonder this though: does the insurance cover a bricked phone from root?
Also, if I do root, can I get stock Android 5.0?
And lastly, there's so many sites that claim to know how to root a note 3, but a lot of them don't seem legit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

If you rooted nc2 or NC4 Verizon won't know and you can go back to stock unrooted. Rooting your phone won't trip KNOX. If you take the 4.4.4 update it's a wrap as far as we know. If you root you won't get 5.0 unless it's a OTA probably. I know Hsbadr is working on some things but for the most part Big Red is trying to kill the Note 3. At least from a rooting and development standpoint.
Really? So there's no way I can get 5.0 custom rom?

I doubt it on this device but you never know.
It depends on how your root to not trip Knox amd some other things can trip it from what I've read even improper unroot. I cannot confirm I've never experienced this, but Samsung is who you shouldn't worry about verizon insurance is different. Samsung a is only one year verizon is paid but yes they are right they won't know. Towel root is the only way I know how to not trip knox. To sum up other posts verizon is trying to stop root of note 3 and Samsung isn't helping either. This may be as good as it gets when it comes to development for the note 3 which is still incredible imo due to the bootloader and such. As always hope this helps and shout out to all the devs and others that work on note 3 v

You may have a battery that's outlived its usefulness. They only last a year or two.
5.0 is supposed to better battery life than 4.4.4
You can locate 4.4.4 on sammobile.com and use the latest version of Odin to flash your Note 3.

As long as I can us xposed...remove bloat and like 10 other apps I need root for...I don't care mush for roms anymore I use too when I had my Droid eris and htc thunderbolt but now I just like the stick with mods...I love this 5.0 but it's make me hate it without root...my note 2 had cap battery life before I rooted then rooted and tons of mods I had it lasting just under 2 days from about 5 hours...and I use greenify on the note 3 but without root it kinda sucks..

Anyone had a problem with not getting call? I had a problem on my s3 then switched to the note 2 and had none at all..but now again I seem to be haven this program..I was reading could be the 5.0 update? A friend of mine who has a note 3 I rooted about a year ago got ahold of me and wants to trade phones since he's still on 4.4.2 and I can them use the rooted 5.0 and he really don't use and or need root anyway he just want 5.0 so I'll probably do that soon
If you need root, it's best to wait for a newer phone that is rootable and go that route. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not jumping on anything for a replacement until I see it has root, then I'll buy. Personally I'm waiting to check out the new Moto X that has a SD card. Not going with a new Note due to it lacking that. My two years with the N3 is up in Oct so sometime around then I'll figure it out I hope, otherwise I'm sticking with my rooted, 128gb sd carded still working fine as hell N3....
So, we would have to revert to an older version of Android before we could root? Kingo won't work with a 5.0 Verizon note 3?

Nope root got closed for 4.4.4 and 5 only hope for a note3 owner is to get one pre rooted I bought a rooted note3 hoping the bl would get unlocked eventually. Im now looking to a moto x pure or a nexus 6 screw this bull**** im done samsung.
why can't anyone seem to crash m into this phone. I got the root but not any roms that work.. is it harder then the others
Very few devs have this sprint phone. Most got note 5. I'm guessing it will have limited options for the forseeable future.
