[Q] Root 4.3 Note 3 Verizon - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a straight forward method to rooting without tripping knox? I'm on MJE I think. Can someone post a link for a site with good directions? Thanks.

Anyone know? I had a Note 3 on 4.4 but got another via warranty replacement and it came with 4.3. I'd like to know before taking the 4.4 OTA.
Tried Kingo and it failed.
Thanks

just check the stickies like this one.

I have but nothing was really specific. It said the De Las Vega and Kingo could do it, but Kingo failed and i don't want to use Vega and lose everything.

[Q] Does Universal Root De La Vega work for Sprint S4 after MJA/Knox bootloader?

I can't find any reference to "root vega" by searching this subforum, so I'm asking.. please be gentle if this is covered elsewhere. I know URDLV is available for the Note 3 on sprint and can be used to gain root on a stock rom without tripping the Knox warranty bit, and am wondering if it's possible to use it to flash a rooted, stock MJA or MK2 ROM onto the Galaxy S4?
I have a completely stock phone, just bought it last week and foolishly applied the OTA update without checking the forums first so I now have the Knox bootloader and have a knox counter in download mode. I've read that you can flash a rooted stock firmware on a Sprint Note 3 without tripping the knox bit and want to know if anyone out there has successfully flashed a stock MJA or MK2 firmware using the URDLV method on a Sprint Samsung S4.
I know I have a snapdragon processor, and that URDLV doesn't work with the Exynos chip, so I'm hoping that it since it sounds like it'll work in theory, that a brave soul has attempted this and can share any info. I only want root, I'm fine manually uninstalling the crap I don't need and I'm okay with using the stock rom, I just want root and know that if i use CF-auto-root that i'll trip the counter, or if i use Vroot I'm potentially using a piece of software that might have malware or spyware in it (the cons to using VRoot are all over the forums).
Anyone out there who can share their insights or experience? Thanks!

Need to Root My Note 3 Replacement, Some Questions

I read Root de la Vega is no longer supported, so what is the ideal method? I just got my new replacement Note 3 from Verizon.
The ROM I am going to flash says "It is Recommended to have flashed the latest 4.3MJE Stock Firmware Tar", how can I accomplish this?
I'm also not trying to trip KNOX.
Shouldn't this be posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help

[Q] Rooting Note 3 n900 for beginners!

There are so many different ways of Rooting the note 3, but as a first timer it's difficult to understand which method might be the best.
What I am looking for is a simple step by step guide to Rooting the note 3 exynox version without tripping the Knox..
What to do if I want the note 3 just rooted with everything else stock.
I don't want to go in the details of the method. It would be kind enough if taught with the root tricks and the do's and dont's
Unfortunately,rooting will trip Knox.
If you still want,use CF auto root in Original Android Developement section. Well, Odin? Better to search in google. It is the essential thing for your android phone for flashing official firmware,rooting,etc..
I've heard of a method called root da la Vega? Do it help not tripping knox.

There is another solution than root de la vega. Follow this guide and you won't trip knox even if you root or install custom recovery/rom. You can also go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2 if kitkat is not your type.

Well... mi compilation number isN900W8UBUBMJ4 (as shown in the attached images a couple post ago). The firmware I used to patch with URDLV has the following details:
PDA: N900W8UBUBMJ4
CSC: N900W8TCEBMJ3
MODEM: N900W8UBUBMJ3
So, I asume that will trigger knox right? I ask a lot because here in Mexico, the note 3 has a price of $1,073 USD. As you can see, Telcel really overprice the phones, and I don't wanna lose warranty, but I wanna delete all the useless bloatware from Telcel.

The attached images on the first post says MHG which is why I said you can safely use urdlv. If it's MJ4, then using urdlv will trip knox. There is an app called Kingo that can root it but based on what I've read so far, it's hit or miss. Some had success rooting MJ4 without tripping Knox and then again some actually softbricked their phones and trip Knox. The guide that I linked you to will not trip Knox even if you install custom recovery and root your phone. The only caveat is you will have to update to 4.4.2. But should you need the warranty, you can always flash back to 4.3. Having said that, it's all up to you.

Well... I think then I will give it the big step... I considered the Klingo way, but as you said, is a coin toss, so I will take my chances and go with URDLV :good:

I Want to Root, But The Cell Gods Will Not Allow It

I have a Note 3 (SM-N900W8 - Telus) that I have had for about 6 months. I have had an original Galaxy S and an S3 which were both rooted.
My phone updated to Lollipop so I had to forgo rooting since everything I read said I couldn't root 5.0 with the new bootloader.
I read about downgrading to Kitkat 4.4.2 so I could root and yesterday I took a chance and did it. I used the official 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile
and using Odin, I flashed it and after a few tries, I got it to work. Now that I am back on Kitkat, I tried Kingroot (the APK) and it failed to root
my phone.
De La Vega now says it can not root 4.4.2, so my question is, is 4.4.2 rootable? I have read a lot about rooting and there are so many opinions
about what works and what doesn't that I wanted to post here to see if I could get a consensus about this. I know many people are rooted
on 4.4.2, but I just want to know the best way without tripping Knox.
Thanks,
Ian
Anyway, I used Kingo Root on my PC to root my Note 3 and it worked. Knox was not tripped and everything works properly.
