Hi Yeroslav,
Seems like you're new to custom romming and rooting. There are roms here in the development forums with "HALO" in their topic header. These are the roms that you may want.
Rooting and romming has it's risks (soft bricking/ hard bricking etc.) and puts you at risk of various problems unless you know how to solve them when they arise ( bootloop. network errors) , so maybe you want to google it before you begin anything. (We're all doing it, so it's low risk, unless you do something majorly wrong like flashing a rom for a different phone model)
Also, when referring to forums here, you first need to check your GS4 model if it's I9505 or I9500, commonly found when you first boot your phone. Once you've obtained the model number do look in the relevant forums (Android development/original android development) for rooting and custom romming methods. (As mentioned before, flashing roms for a different model can result in bricking, so do check your GS4 model before you start anything).
I'll keep this instructions brief (Just google what you don't know).
1. Get root by flashing rooted (stock?) roms through odin.
2. Get a custom recovery by flashing Clockworkmod(CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project(TWRP).
3. Find out how to use CWM/TWRP
*Check the forums and use the search feature to get your way around. Any kind XDA member would continue elaborating on my brief instructions, do go ahead.
Happy flashing!
Cheers.

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

[Q] Please help me with rooting & flashing

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.

[Q] Some Please help new at this and I need assistance

So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900t very recently, but I don't what to do first. I have heard and read the first thing I should do it make a complete system backup. Now how do I even start doing that?
Someone and here told me to do it with CWM and TWRP, but didn't explain how, please don't do that explain it to me.
My whole point of rooting was to get rid of the bloatware that came with my phone (which I don't know how to), and to use custom roms.
If you know of any custom roms you recommend please me tell which one and how how to install it, as it will be my first time.
Please be detailed and dumb it down as much as possible as I am very new at this. I'm just a kid really trying to learn.
Someone please help, I'm beginning to lose faith and to think rooting my phone was a very bad idea.

Your best bet is to look at the root thread. It has very detailed information.

Go to CyanogenMod site. You'll have detailed information on how to install CM11 on Note 3.
For other ROMs check the development thread.

Need Guidance...

Hey guys,
I'm going to install a custom ROM today to see if that maybe fixes my SensorHub not working. I just need guidance on the correct procedure. I have a SM-N900 model (N900XXUEBOL2) running Lollipop 5.0. Do I first need to root, or can I install a custom ROM straight from the stock recovery? It seems like there aren't may ROMS available for the SM-900 model, but I've found one that seems to have good battery life and performance: TR-ROM. This is the procedure I will follow:
1) Root phone with CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.zip
2) Use ODIN to flash n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
3) Flash TR-ROM from CWM: TR-ROM XDA
Is this all correct? I just want to make sure that I don't brick my phone!
Also, how can I revert back to stock if I need to?
Thanks so much!!!

OK. ..so are the 3 steps I mentioned above correct?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-root-note-3-sm-n900-5-0-install-t3069670

I'm trying to follow that guide, but the build number of N900 on the CF-Root site says:
LRX21V.N900XXUEBOA6
Whereas mine is:
N900XXUEBOL2
Will is still work? Also, it says a locked bootloader will probably brick your device. How do I check if mine is locked?
I've rooted and installed custom roms on many devices before - I'm not sure why rooting and installing custom rom on the Note 3 is so daunting...

Google?

I wouldn't be asking here if I hadn't already Google'd extensively.

But of course... The phone is brand new, so there's no info yet available. I understand...
Yes, do as you wrote in the first post. Should be ok, as those are the latest files.

I'm finding that there is actually TOO much information (too many variables). That's why I'm asking specifically about my version, as I can't seem to get my head around it - and rather than brick my phone, I'm merely seeking a bit of guidance from someone more experienced than me. In the past, when I was rooting previous phones, I received a lot of useful information and help from XDA - but it seems like now all I'm getting are sarcastic remarks and general unfriendliness. Why is that?

You have N900 its an exynos model not the qualcom .Not something that has a big following on here .
The links in your post point to zips , whats the point of me downloading a zip ??
CF autoroot you need to read the instructions regarding builds .
Locked boot loader no idea for that model .
CWM yes flash via Odin if its the correct one for your model .
Flash rom yes the rom will give you the method .
