I bought a new N9005 (Model : SM-N9005ZKEBTU ).... and Installed latest Kitkat (Poland) via ....
Now I just want to root it.... no custom rom etc, just wanna stay on stock for a few months ...
How can just root it.... where can I find the stock kernel which can make it root (Like I did in my previous phones like S2, Note, Note2 )...

Not a problem, it is easy to do. But you will trip the Knox counter. And you will not be able to return to 4.3 to avoid doing so.
AFAIK from all the posts (probably several hundred in 20 threads or more) you made a one-way decision by upgrading to kitkat.

I knw I wont be able to come back ... but sooner or later we hv to be on kitkat,,,, and I think this kitkat (poland) has no problems as long as it is stock...
Plz tell me an easy way to root it, like any kernel flashing whch make it rooted ? There r many customs roms with kitkat but I dont wanna try custom roms for few months
Basically I have a lots of data backup stored in titanium backup root (From my last Note2)..... wanna restore many apps with data from that
Also if I unroot it by flashing stock kitkat again, will it reset my knox counter?
The best way to root remains cf_autoroot, but it WILL trip your knox warranty bit.
Currently there is NO way to root KK without tripping Knox.
Hi guys,
I have always flashed my HTC phones without problems or weirdness at all, now i buy my first samsung and all of a sudden i read samsung is putting in all kinds of weird crap in my far to expensive phone because they feel i should use or need knox. They need to make good phones and not care as to what i run on my phone IMHO
I read alot of stuff on here about people bricking their phone so i had a few questions to clarify things. I really really DONOT want to render
my note 3 useless. First about Knox: I don't care about any flags, knox or company's at all, i bought the note 3, it is mine and i would like to do with it what i want not what samsung thinks is right for me hence Android. I donot lose any functionallity after i tripped knox right?
So i understand that this knox thing is just a flag? Other then that i can forget about it and just root and place a rom of choice?
What about that thing called binary flash counter (not even sure wy my phone has it or need it), do i need to do anything with that? Also i read 4.4 peeps can't get back to 4.3 this is wy i killed automatic updates on my device for now.
My current firmware is MJ7 and basicly i don't want or need kitkat (atleast not now). So which exact files do i need to use chainfire's method of rooting my device? After that which exact recovery do install and how? Odin or via the market GOO apk thingy? so i can install rom's like x-note v7 or one in that trent? I am leaning towards TWRP although i always flashed on CWM. Can i for instance just flash 4.3 roms once i got TWRP newest version?
Just want to get this all over with so i can enjoy my phone 100% and not 50. I also need to get rid of all the crap samsung put on my phone (stuff i didn't ask for) and no i don't want their music, movies or appstores. Any help is appreciated.
I think a good guide with up to date links for my firmware would help a lot. Not just snippets everywere across the board.
1) the EXACT files i need to root my phone.
2) the EXACT TWRP version (can i just get newest one for 4.3 roms?) i need and how to put it on my Note 3 Odin or with the GOO apk thingy.
after i do have the thing rooted.
3) the zip rom file were do i put that? internal SD card or on my external one or does it matter?
Thanks in advance!
Have fun...

then cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079
flash with odin
if you dont care about knox like i dont just flash anything you want
just one more thing if you update to kk you cant go back to 4.3
and if you want a tw kk rom you have to flash tw 4.4.2 stock 1st then root again all a bit of a pain
hope that makes sense

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

Best answer I can give you is to check in HERE at the ATT Note 3 forum and ask, since this is the international forum for the N900/N9005 we have limited to no knowledge of other models.
oh schitt.....can someone delete this thread..my apologies
Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.
I Bought this new S4 i9500 phone cause it was cheaper and retired my s3 i9305 since it didnt have android 4.4 there was no knox and I was able to root, install clockwork recovery and roms
this phone s4 has a new bootloader and knox that does not allow people to root
how to root, install custom recovery and install custom rom? I want a detailed tutorial since I didnt find for android 4.4
they were for 4.2 so i was kind of afraid. I did look up. I want to install latest MIUI v5 on S4 i want to try
any kind soul please help me

Hi mate
You can root with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615
The only problem is that the knox bit will be set and the warranty gone......other than that it will work, unfortunately there is no method to root the i9500 without tripping the knox bit .
