Were u able to root after that? or the root that you already had was intact?
Did u use the pc suite or the support tool?

[Q] Need help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 N900W8

I need help with rooting my Galaxy Note 3. I've never rooted a phone before so I am new to this. I've read some of the posts and understand a bit, but they're all confusing as there are quiet a few posts out there on how to root. I'd like to get some help on which correct tools and stuff I would need to download to help me root my phone. Preferably I would like to stick to stock ROM, or a custom ROM closest to stock without the Samsung bloatware. My phone model is the SM-N900W8, running on KitKat 4.4.2, with a baseband version of N900W8VLUCNB7, and Kernal 3.4.0-859721.

If I were to use Towelroot would I be able to factory rest my phone and it'll still be rooted? Also do I need to do anything else after using Towelroot?
-update- using Towelroot did not work for me

Thanks I've read the other post too. I wouldn't have any to do anything after flashing the file through Odin right? Also would I be able to factory reset my phone no problem and keep my root?

Nothing to do.
You can do factory reset no problem but you might loose root, but just repeat the process in case you do loose root. Be warned though, although quite a lot of people rooted their N900W8 without tripping root, can't exactly say it will be the same for everybody, it might trip it.

If you intend to stay on stock firmware and not flash a rom, then you don't need one. But if you flash a rom made for a N9005, then you will need a kernel made for N900W8/Tmobile in order to make NFC, BT and Wifi work ( also need a patch for the said sensors/signal ).

I guess I will stick with stock as everything still seems too confusing for me to understand. The root you gave me, I notice it says sm9005 instead of sm900w8, it wouldn't change my network frequency would it?

It will not change anything except root your phone. I know it says it's for N9005 but quite a lot of people even with different phone models have tried it and it worked and that's including me who has a N900W8 from Rogers.

***Edit****
Worked for me.. Thanks!!!
Model no SGP521

Is this working on the Verizon model?

Unroot possible?
After using this method, is it possible to unroot?
In case the tablet needs to be sent back to Sony, they won't touch it if they see root enabled.
How to unroot it? n00b here.

On the Z phones a simple factory reset by the pc companion would do fine in removing anything that could harm the warranty

Works perfectly on a SPG512 with 17.1.1.A.0.402 :highfive:

I rooted my Verizon variant with this method and all seems to work ok, had to run it twice however. Installed duel recovery after and making a backup now. All seems to work ok so far. Only thing I've mainly tried is root explorer and it gained SU rights and tested renaming an apk in the system files and worked fine.

That's great news. I mostly want to just debloat. With dual recovery, can we install ROMs should they ever become available?

Okay I have root I used the v10 easy root. Do I just flash dual recovery even though it clearly stats an unlocked bootloader is needed? I don't flash files if I am not sure of their compatibility. Thanks.

I knew they had CM11 on the wifi only version. I wasn't sure if they had a Verizon build. I have found it really difficult to find out what is LTE and what is wifi only.

Search for ioroot25. If that doesn't work search for stump 1.2.0. I had to use Stump to root a D800 with the latest firmware.

I feel I should add to this comment,
IORoot25 will downgrade your bootloader to Jelly Bean, and installs a Custom Recovery.
StumpRoot will only root your device, keep your KitKat bootloader and does not install a Custom Recovery.

So if I want to use "-=- CloudyG2 [KK] -=- ", which method is better?

In order to flash a ROM, you need a custom recovery.

[GUIDE] Root I257 At&t 4.4.2!!!!!

Yes I257 att already rooted, My build is I257UCU2BNG4
1- Download KingoApp from Here and try to root first time, then reboot and you will see a custom label on screen, then try to root again.
2- If custom label did no appear try KingRoot from Here same process as first step
uploaded a full nandroid backup, Compressed for better downloading and uncompressed, a full dump odin flashable made by efs pro

I had rooted the I9192DDUCNL1 firmware available for India with KingRoot. Not sure about I9192DDUCOF2.

To all who managed to root this phone, did anyone manage to flash anything on it (custom recovery, custom ROM) or are you still running the stock firmware?
To anyone using safestrap, how is that working out, regarding speed, stability etc?
Sorry if off-topic here.

kingo root dont full root, can you update binarys?
