Hi. Universal Root de la Vega's threat was clsoed and Op recommended us to use VRoot instead.
I found this Chinese VRoot and it looks very easy to do. Please see link below (in Chinese language, but you can use Google to translate)

I just want to confirm if anyone had tried this and if it is KNOX 0x0 Root?
Thanks.

Just got my N3 yesterday, mine is MJ7... Will VRoot work with the latest OTA already installed? I've done quite a bit of searching on getting this thing rooted but xda "banned" KINGO cause everyone is freaking out about some Chinese server or exploit threat or whatever, supposedly La Vega won't work after MJ7 OTA... Even though I've been rooting a while, this all has me confused on what really works and what just made it to the forums first but might not work... Any help with legit root and recovery methods would be MUCH APPRECIATED!

If you're worried about Chinese root method than you better stay away form vroot. Even the interface is in Chinese. Kingoapp, has addressed the concerns that some people had with their latest version, 1.1.2. You can check out their facebook page where they explain it all.
Understand that if you plan on using a custom recovery or ROM it will trip Knox and vroot and Kingoapp are probably not the way you want to go. You might look at CF Root instead.

Where did CF Root say it's method won't trip KNOX? serious question.
RDLV is the only one isn't it?

CF Root will trip knox. What I was saying is that if you want a custom recovery or rom, you might as well go with CF Root because it is going to trip knox anyway. vroot and Kingoapp doesn't trip knox because you don't get a custom recovery or rom as part of the root. They let you use apps that require root and do modification on the stock rom (if you know what you're doing).
Will De Vega Work?
so will the de la vega root method work for the latest VRUBMJ7 update? If not, what other root method will work that will not trip KNOX? Thanks in advanced

So even with the canadian version unlocked bootloader you cannot install TWRP without tripping knox? Guess i can just use TBU to backup everything instead.
If you do root with one of these methods be careful. They are a security risk. I'd use mobile Odin to reflash my stock firmware after rooting and maybe even factory reset, just to be sure that I'd nuked any naughty apps. Mobile Odin will allow you to retain root.

It still was NOT easy to use, but I can confirm positively that it can work and in my case did not trip knox. I had to reboot the phone manually at one point because it appeared stuck and I tried a 2nd time. The 2nd time the windows app rebooted the phone and it did get rooted.
UPDATE:
Thanks to cubarican84, I used the following SIMPLE solution to clean up the chinese superuser mess: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/11/How-to-Remove-Replace-VRoot-Chinese-superuser-with-SuperSU.html?m=1
Hi guys, I know there are many posts regarding the different root methods out there, but I'm sorta new to this and I've been getting very confused.
I currently am running N900W8VLUBMJ1 rooted with the rdlv method, knox at 0x0.
Id like to update to the newest N900W8VLUBMJ4 and root that as well if possible.
What's the best method of doing this? If I lose the knox, I'm not too concerned. Rather not, but doesn't really matter.
In short, is there a specific process to follow when updating my already rooted device? Is it easier just for me to run a different bootloader?

Go with the same method again, use URDLV to create the firmware. This will keep your current boot loader, the new one (in MJ3 and above) triggers the counter with the URDLV obtained root.
But after, you will need to also flash the modem, and NON-HLOS file that is in the official firmware tar.

Thanks for clarifying!
So basically do the same thing as before using the universal method, and no need to flash back to original or anything right?

The URDLV method doesn't seem to wanna work for me:

I suppose this isn't possible then with N900W8VLUBMJ4?
Can I just flash the update with odin with the new bootloader etc? Will root still work?

This is a Canadian phone?
All I did was update the firmware using KIES 3.1... lost root but I simply used VROOT to regain root and WINAM to reset to OFFICIAL status,,, which still allows OTA updates.
Don't worry about all the comment about been a Chinese SuperSU (new version 1.7.2.4200 interface is in English anyway.) and simply install it.
Make sure to reinstall the Xposed App and that it has root access.
Enjoy

thanks for the response.
I just updated via odin to the newest firmware. I figured why not.
So I guess all I need to do is vroot to complete that method. If I'm going to trip knox (which I havent yet) aren't I better off with a custom recovery anyways? Did vroot trip yours?

Nope.. mine did not trip... and using WINAM, I regained Official Status and I am now able to check for OTA,s
simply go into your Xposed installer apps and reinstall the framework (app_process)
Make sure you keep an eye on your phone while connected to the PC and rooting with VRoot... It will ask for authorization to install some xtra software and warnings will be popping up on your cellphone... just allow them.
You will retain Knox 0x0
After I updated, my wifi password keeps getting forgotten every time I turn off the wifi.
So I have to enter the password back every time.
Any one on MJ4 have or NOT have this problem?

thanks for this info, but I decided to bite the bullet and just install a custom recovery. I figure, eventually when some nice 4.4 roms or something come out we will all be willing to trip anyways. Hope to not have any warranty issues.
Thanks for this info though, I'm sure it will help a few people!
Sorry, what is WINAM? I would also like to keep the "Offical Status" if possible. How do I do so?
thanks

I have been in the rooted world of the Galaxy S3 for along time with CleanRom.
What is the safe way to rood? De LaVaga wont work with newest update, vroot and kingo are malware, so how? Also do you need to unlock the boot-loader like the S III? I will load JellyBeans rom as he does great work. I hope to see more ROM's etc soon
Thx!!!!

Its been so long since my s3 was unbootlocked, what does it limit the N3 from doing?
Saw this post
"doesn't work for lots of people. Myself included. here's what I finally did to keep root with the original Root de LA Vega.
1. Odin back to original stock MI9
2. Odin to Root de la Vega (full instructions in that thread)
3 . installed xposed, wanam, security hack boot screen to remove "custom"
4. rebooted 2X, enabled supersu pro, checked the survival mode, unroofed
5. took the OTA, re-enabled supersu.
"
Thoughts? Do I need to do all that?
I hope the N3 gets the great support the S3 did!
I'm waiting hoping for a easier workaround myself.. Unfortunately. . Hope they get there!

Do you have N3 with firmware MI9 or MJ7? If you have MI9 the post you quote will work as long as stock rom is not modified. However your phone will brick if your phone came with MJ7

So the post you quoted is for those who want to keep root after latest OTA(MI9 to MJ7). If your phone came with MJ7, then there is no way to root it other than kingo root method. Those people who fail to keep root is because they modified the stock rom(eg., debloat, Mod, etc, safestrap isn't considered modification because it's just recovery alternative.) and took OTA and during the OTA it just fails because samsung OTA can't verify your system.

I am wondering who has rooted their Note 3 using Root De La Vega and ODIN?
I am currently on MI9 and NEED to root. I am very familiar with ODIN and even ADB commands the old way. However I see a lot of posts about MJ7 and root methods using Kingo or vroot.
If you have rooted using Root De La Vega and Odin how is everything going? Have you experienced any problems? If you did, did you unroot and re-root using the "One-click" root methods? I would like to root tonight and would appreciate your input. If this is the wrong place for this please do what you need to do. Thanks
If you prefer MJ7 one-click root. What guide did you use? Videos only have small sections like rooting but leaves out things like SuperSu and Safestrap or links.
Edit: Going to try the Kingo method.
So I finally gave it a go and it was very easy. Make sure you pay attention to the device as it asks you for input while using Kingo. It was very fast and could have been faster but I missed a prompted on my phone.
Steps:
1 updated to MJ7
2 Kingo rooted
3 Safe strap
4 Backed up stock image
5 booted into system and was back to normal.
I'm rooted with De La Vega. Process was as smooth as butter Nd no problems whatsoever.

Hi,
I rooted Note 3 with towelroot recently and my knox is still 0 and would like to keep it that way. Would also like to keep all my settings and apps if possible too. I haven't flashed any roms or anything like that. Only thing I've done is grant some of my apps root access and downloaded an app that required root (which since then I've uninstalled). Now however I see a new firmware update is available for my Note 3 and would like to update to it. I'm sorta new to the Android scene, so don't know where to start to do this, so would appreciate any guidance.
Is there also anything I should do while on root before I unroot?
Thanks
@XLAAX you dont need to unroot to upgrade firmware. Use odin method to upgrade it.
You will find it on sammobile

Hmm, I was under the impression that you need to unroot your phone to upgrade the firmware. If this isnt the case, then no real need to unroot I suppose.
What about Android L? Will I need to unroot for that? (Realise you can't predict such a thing, but has there ever been a case where you needed to unroot for an android firmware?)
EDIT: Oh and for future knowledge, how should I handle OTA updates? Should I not update that way if I'm rooted?

I dont know about towel root I used cf auto root and I upgraded to 4.4.2 after rooting.
But I am sure there is no need to unroot in any case.
