Which method is best to upgrade to 4.3 rooted

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I have read a bunch of threads for upgrading to 4.3 with root and not take the ota but all the methods need a bunch of other little parts to flash. is there one method that has the wifi, modem, hotspot, and no knox.

Can't update SuperSU. It's asking to disable Knox

A little bit worried about that. I know I can fubar things if Knox is tripped. I'm just leaving it alone right now. Is it safe?

This is what shows up when I open SuperSU. It didn't do this when I updated to MJ7.

Do you have any superuser app installed? Make sure that root checker is not blacklisted.

Strange but the apps are working fine.
I am confused do I have root or not?
Do I have to flash cf-autoroot via odin again?

You are on 4.4.2 or 4.3 or 4.2.2 ??
On 4.4.2 cf auto root might not work
Install philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot/install su binary

Supersu ota root survival

Has anyone had experience using this when upgrading through ota? Does it work? If so does it trip knox? I'm wanting to upgrade to latest BTU firmware but keep my root from towelroot and my knox at 0x0.
Thanks in advance

How can I install a custom recovery on n9005 stock without using a PC?

Need root. To root without a pc try towel root. Not sure if any other work. After root seach in twrp page how to flash recovery using terminal emulator

"This phone isn't currently supported" - Towel root
I think Tr supports only Exynos Note 3... not n9005. I also tried Framaroot and that didn't work also.

You need a pc for root

Well I don't have a PC. There should be a PC-free way...

Then you go ahead and make one, buddy. I'm sure the community will thank you for it.

If I knew how to make it I wouldn't be standing here asking these questions.
