I'm looking to root my Note 3, and I'm curious what the safe guidelines are, I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this.
There was the OTA yesterday (maybe it was on the 6th) that went out.
If that is installed, can you still root at this current point in time?
My current details are as follows:
Model: SM-N900V
Build: JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJ7
Am I SoL?
Thanks for the help.
NOTE: I tried searching , but it seems the search function is temporarily unavailable :crying:

Yes, you can either use the Kingo root tool or wait until "Root de la Vega" gets a fix.
Personally, I would wait instead of using Kingo: there is some privacy concerns with using Kingo since we don't actually know how/what it does.
DroidModderX said:
The verdict is still out as to whether Kingo App is anything other than a malicious virus ridden software, or an innocent one click root method for many devices. If you do decide to use this app you should do so at your own risk. This root method is completely close sourced so we aren't sure of everything contained with in it. If this bothers you then steer clear. If you don't mind your data potentially being at risk this method is a one click method that works for a long list of devices. It has been confirmed via an XDA thread that this method will work with the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 after the latest OTA update.

Yeah I've read the recent situations with Kingo and Vroot as well. I'm cool with waiting, I'd prefer to not have my IMEI data mined for root
I've waited thus far.
So basically I should be following developments on the Root de la Vega stuff.
Appreciate the response

I have MJ7 and used Kingo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521581
Kingo Can't Connect
I have just tested Kingo with a Note 3 Verizon (N900V Firmware MJ7) and can't connect.
Thing is, I can see it find in ADB and I can issue commands via ADB. Of course USB debugging is enabled and working fine through ADB.
I'm running the latest version of Kingo 1.1.2.1770, and it just reads "Connecting service" in the bottom-right and the big "Not Connected" in the middle.
I've also attempted to connect my G-III phone which I access via ADB with no problem, and Kingo doesn't see that either.
This is my first test with a one-click root solution. I haven't found any instructions for rooting the N900V any other way (eg directly via command line) .. Anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong, or how to root the N900V running MJ7 without Kingo?
Thank you in advance
RKM
I would assume you can use odin with stock original firmware and pit file to downgrade your phone from MJ7, use de la vega, use supersu+ "preserve superuser" functionality, then OTA update. Using supersu+/preserve option/OTA/re-enable is how I updated and kept root.
I'd be willing to bet it's your anti-virus or firewall software and that you are doing this on either Win 7 or Win 8.

Also, having just read up on the latest Kingo stuff, just use it. It's fine. The latest versions don't send your IMEI. I'd still use it if they did, personally. IMEI+serials are sent around all the time when you buy/sell phones online since you need to confirm clean IMEI before paying to be sure the phone hasn't been reported stolen. Nothing bad to worry about. It's your phone, if someone could possibly do anything weird, Verizon would swap you a new one.

Doing this will soft brick your device. You cannot go back to MI9 if you are already on MJ7. Do not try to flash back to stock MI9 if you are already on MJ7.

Even with the proper pit file? I was under the impression the people who were soft bricking were flashing just the rom in odin, no pit. I saw another thread where people where un-bricking by flashing the pit file in the process.

Not positive, but I think they were having to use the pit file with MJ7 after they had tried MI9. Just flashing MJ7 wouldn't work. I've been wrong before though.

Unfortunately I don't run any AV software other than the intrinsic Win7, and I had already setup exceptions for the app, disabled, it -- and I've been running Kingo "As Administrator" explicitly in each case.
It just seems so weird that ADB works flawless, and Kingo does not. They're basically the same thing (I believe Kingo is just running everything through ADB, right?)
Ugh .. so I can't downgrade to root, and I can't get Kingo to connect despite it not being related to AV apps and ADB working fine. Leave it to tech to turn a thirty minute project into days!!
Thanks again for any ideas

Absolutely, yes.
I mentioned back in the original thread, I have USB debugging enabled and successfully using ADB, which requires this along with the cert approval (required as of Android 4.2 or 4.3, can't remember now).
As a developer, I use ADB on a daily basis and have never had any issue connecting to the phones.
I've re-installed Kingo, etc -- nothing. I can even fire up a command prompt while Kingo is running and send an ADB devices to see my phone successfully connected with the (with the latest Samsung drivers, right from Kingo's site stating the requirement).

I agree, it doesn't make a lot of sense that Kingo wouldn't connect if you can connect manually thru ADB. I believe it does use ADB to communicate. The software will take a while to run especially on a slow connection, but I am assuming from what you've said that it never gives you a "Device Connected" status, correct?
I mentioned firewall and AV earlier because some of them will block either the app or the communication. I had Trend Micro running on one of the computers I used and it wouldn't connect until I uninstalled it.

Root 4.2
METHOD 1 (RECOMMENDED)
_________________________________________________
thanks to Gnurou
"So, I have finally updated my SHIELD rooting method to support Tegra Note 7 as well, so you guys don't need to install weird programs on your PCs:
https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root
Rooting by itself is quite easy, you need to have adb and fastboot on your system then:
1) Enable USB debugging in the developer options and plug your TN7
2) Download https://github.com/linux-shield/shie...7.img?raw=true
3) In a shell, issue "adb reboot-bootloader"
4) In the same shell, go into the directory containing root_tn7.img and run "fastboot boot root_tn7.img".
Rooting will take ~15 seconds and the tablet will reboot. You should then have SuperSU installed and working.
Note that these are not exactly the instructions mentioned on the README file of my Github repository. That's because TN7's bootloader is not interactive as SHIELD's for the moment, I hope this will be fixed.". All thanks to Gnurou
4.2 Chinese root method
METHOD 2
______________________________________________________
Ok so for starters the tegra note does come with an unlocked boot loader so that a big plus. To root I followed these steps..
"There is another method to root the tegra note easily if you know chinese......
You may download the software called Jin Shan Mobile Assistant at the site below:
google it --> (zs.ijinshan.com)
EDIT: HERE IS A DIRECT LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE ROOT TOOL
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Sc2UBbSHchb1pBUGpPN2N1Sm8/edit?usp=sharing
click and download the PC ver. setup file at right handside.(wrote 支持设备：安装win8/Win7/Vista/XP系统)
After installation, plug in your tegra note via USB. Press the ROOT大師 at the bottom left corner.
It will checked your device model as P1640. Then press "確定". It will simply root your device immediately.
:good::good::good:"
Thanks to hotsuma2000
Once I was rooted using the method above I installed Supersu from market and it replaced the superuser from the above method.. I then removed all apps that were installed from using the Chinese root.
STEPS
__________________________________________
The .exe file to download is about 30mb.
Once you download the file run it using Windows.
Open the program after installation.
Make sure USB debugging is checked on your device. (FYI to get developer options go to settings about tablet and press on build number until a message pops up saying you have Dev options.)
Plug the tegra note into your PC and the program should then recognize your device at which point you will see the root option.
Click root and magic...
The root program will install it's own version of superuser but don't worry I will get to that.
Once rooted go to Google play and download Supersu by chain fire then open it. You should then be prompted to install.. It will say another superuser app is detected and ask to replace..
There you have it feel free to ask away anything on your mind
If I was a help to anybody please throw me a thanks

Where's the info? Please post the solution you found. I've been digging through forum after forum and have tried 3 or 4 "one-click" root tools. So far nothing has worked. I really want to use Titanium Backup on this device.
UPDATE I finally got root on my Tegra NOTE 7!!! The process was a bit haphazard and inept but after enough tinkering I was able to get it done! Since the method is a bit involved I would recommend waiting for an easier solution. That being said, for those, like me, who just can't wait feel free to PM me and I'll point you in the right direction.
feel free to pm me for instructions or direction
I would be interested in directions for how to root. Why not just post them in this thread?

Fantastic! It didn't work the first time I tried it, though I think that's because the program hadn't detected the tablet yet, but the second time it worked like a charm! It's a shame that PC program is in Chinese... it actually looks pretty cool!

just double check make sure debbuging is checked... also when you run the program wait until it shows TegraNote sometimes you have to wait a little bit. It took me like two times before I was able to do it let me know if you the problem continues
Tried on another computer and it worked fine, installed SuperSU and cleaned up the extra apps. Thanks!!

Have not tried this yet but sounds ok.
Think I will wait for recovery as I want to try the exellent xposed framework on the note.
And then the wonderfull gravity box module.
Should be ok but safer to have a backup I think.
Thanks for finding and sharing this with us.

These instructions will work for the EVGA TN7, correct? Sorry to ask the question, but I had a thought there may be differences between the EVGA and AV models. Thanks for any reply.
Hi guys,
I've had this note 3 for a year now and it's waranty has finally expired. That means it's time to root!
I've never rooted a device before and to be honest I'm VERY paranoid about bricking it because it's my baby!
I've been following the ChainFire thread and install video by TK Here
I've got the MD5 file and Odin3 installed. I've booted the phone into "download mode".
The trouble I'm having is that my computer can't find a driver for the device in this mode, it shows as it's snapdragon processor / mobo "MSM8960"
After looking about for quite a while, I've realized there are A LOT of variables when it comes to rooting your phone.
Can an experienced rooter please reply to let me know if I should be OK rooting my device. Info below.
Model number: SM-N9005
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: N9005XXUGNG1
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNG1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 - 1955971
Thank you for reading.

Shameless Self Bump.
Just looking for a yes or no here anyone who has good rooting history
Hiya, first of all you need drivers, go to this site:
http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
Download the drivers for the note 3, I'm assuming you're using windows 7, install the drivers &reboot your computer, then connect your phone in normal mode, not download mode. Once you've verified the phone is recognised as the note 3 disconnect the phone &reboot into download mode, leave for a few seconds &connect the phone to the pc, the drivers should install for download mode. Verify on the pc that the phones recognised, (under device manager there shouldn't be an exclamation mark anywhere really) One that's done you're good to go.
An alternative method to root is using an app called towel root. It's a new way to root using an exploit &shouldn't trip knox. Read up on it very carefully though, I think some ppl are having issues with it with the note 3.
See how you get on with all that lol.

- Regarding the device's info, you can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app for more detailed info.
- As for rooting, you can use any method to root. I personally use CF-Auto-root. Some notes: Install driver. Set USB Debug ON. Set Reactivation Lock OFF. Recommend flashing CWM Recovery immediately after rooting.
- You can get the driver here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25370185/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_v1.5.27.0.exe
Or you can install Kies so that the driver also be installed.

Dont worry, Kies will not auto update without asking you. Anyway you can use the driver in the link I've given above.
Recovery is the special partition where you can backup/restore all phone firmware/data... Phone comes with the stock recovery, however its function is very limited, and you may want to use custom recovery. There are some custom recoveries available: CWM or TWRP... I personally use CWM. You can google 'CWM or TWRP recovery' for the download link.

Rooting never actually bricks your phone. But flashing ROMs does.Its not hard if you have proper instructions to do it. So just be careful while flashing or messing with your phone. Anyways congrats and best of luck :good::victory:

root your go prime
Go to youtube and type in how to root android with kingroot. Very easy, no computr nreded and it works great. Comes with purify which allows you to get rid of all that nasty bloatware. And a little trick for that phone, if you go into settings then to about phone then find where is says build number and click it 7 times youll activate developer mode. So if you go back to settings youll have a new setting called developer options, in their you can turn on and off usb debugging and even factory unlock your phone for any gsm. Oh yeah one more thing kingroot is completly reversable so it wont void phone warranty.
root your go prime
If you go to google search and search kingroot, one of the links that come up says (all versions) thats yhe one you want. Go to that link and find the download that says latest next to or under the download prompt and download that one. Once its downloaded go to your apps and open it and, then its as simple as clicking the root option. You might have to go in to your accesibility settings and turn on the option that allows you to download app from other places than the play store. I have the same phone and it works great on mine, ive checked root access using a root check app and its legit and its worked on every android phone ive tried it on. So enjoy. And keep me in mind after you root your phone cause im new at this and would like to download a custom rom for nouget 7.0 which i know they have out their for our phone im just not that tech savy so if you figure it out let me know, will greatly appreciate it.
I just bought this phone from Cricket, and the first thing I do is unlock the dev menu and look at dev options. Imagine my surprise when I see an option to unlock the bootloader! YMMV: select on, enter your pattern/password (if needed), then accept the terms. When I get back to my computer I'll see what kind of trouble I can cause...

We would have to figure out how to back up the original recovery. You could also try the fastboot boot command. That's pretty much a sure way to boot a recovery without messing things up but it has to be in .IMG format to try it.
By any chance has anyone tried the root permission setting found in engineering mode under settings? Dial *#*#2637643#*#* in your dialer to access it

I will if you link me to it and it's free.
On a side note for any potential developers there are several open source projects to read write to the Qualcomm devices on github I'll link em after work. And I have the Qualcomm signing keys they use if that'll help

How did you unlock the bootloader? What do I need to do? I think I can find a way to root of my bootloader is unlocked. And also I am working on porting Ubuntu touch (and maybe tizen) to this device

Heres a link to the thread that goes over rooting the 60555u. Its kind of simple if you have some patience, and on page 5 i made a short guide on what i did to get it working. Check it out and get your phone rooted.
