I used towelroot on my fiancés phone running 4.4.2 NC4 and it worked first try.
Be sure too install the SuperSU apk or download it from the play store right after using towel root.
Then you can follow this guide to install safestrap:

It's been less than 24 hours... have a little patience.
Try it out and let us know. When I get to my computer later I will be experimenting with some methods.

New to the Note!

Late to the party I know! Finally got my note 3, wanting to root. Saw video for rooting but says it won't work with MJ7, so I'm assuming it won't work for MJE firmware? Is there a working root for MJE?

There are plenty of threads with information in the general section, including a thread convienently named All Things MK2 And NB1. Make sure to check that and read more before asking questions unless you're on an I337m, in which case you can disregard anything I've said ;P

You can't do what you want but there are roms you can flash. Start here

which root method for MJE baseband?

I just bought a used Note 3 and it has the MJE baseband version on it. I checked software updates and it said my device was up to date. I was wondering if this is the newest baseband version and if I can root my phone on this baseband version. I just tried the Kingo root method and it failed. Which root method can I use to root my phone? Thanks for your help.

Towelroot for SGH-337 NC1

Will this New root method work on this phone??? Or just for 9505 ver. Phone was rooted before I install Kit Kat updates. But now when I click Super SU app it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Thanks for any help on this New root method.
It should work on your device. Remember, though, it just roots, still no custom recovery other than safestrap

After I root with Towelroot, will I still be able to get the 4.4.3 Update OTA when it comes out?? Also if I then do get 4.4.3 and install, will I keep my boot?? Or back to 0 and have to wait for a way to root it?

I'm only guessing based on experience on other devices. Generally the ota will work but you do lose root. So yes, there will probably need to be a new and different root method once 4.4.3 comes out.
Also, if you have root and modify or delete any system files the ota will fail.

Thanks jd1639, will just wait till 4.4.3 since maybe not that long away. But AT&T sure does not get in any hurry. Hope you had a nice Father's Day.
