Or visit the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 and use the new and improved version.

I have a SM-900F and this doesn't work on it. When I click on the logo inside the app, it says that it is not yet compatible with my device

Same here...This phone isn't currently supported (S5)

First flash old kernel with Odin
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cun1uainm2h07em/KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5
And then root your phone using Towelroot
when you done install SuperSu from market
And when your root is okay you can flash latest kernel and enjoy

Yes you can, although you won´t be able to flash a custom kernel/ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479952
PS: Make sure to read the instruction and Q&As carefully before rooting!

No, unfortunately as of now it is not possible. However, you can root/flash/downgrade stock and use Xposed Framework with, e.g., Wanam Xposed.
This will not trip your Knox flag (it remains 0x0)
How if I root with the method that from your link then I install Cwm via rom manager in play store then install rom?

You don't install CWM nor do you use the ROM manager. You do exactly as described --> here <--. This is "Root de la Vega" Style by @designgears
Vega is not for N9005 yet
Now available. I was the first to use it DD

So bad! No custom rom on note 3.

Update breaks towelroot on G900F

So I saw an update for "performance improvements" (~200MB) on my rooted 900F. I unrooted and updated. No problem. Once I reboot there is a second update ~1.2MB. I installed that and rebooted, tried to run towelroot and it says device not supported. Tried a few different modstring values including the temp root and none of them work.
Moral of the story; don't update if you want to towelroot.

Hard to say, it doesn't seem much different but I've only had it installed a couple of hours and not used the phone too much yet.
I can tell you, however that it adds more bloat! There is at least one new app I noticed called "My Galaxy"
EDIT: Also, they've changed the animation for fingerprint unlock failure to some horrible alarming flashing red/white thing instead of the subtle one it was before.

A kernel patch for Towelroot was te be expected. Use CF Auto Root or wait for Geohot for an possible updated version of TR to get root again..

I'll wait. The reason I used towel root in the first place was not to trip knox.
It was just a headsup for those who might care more than I do.

i don't understand why people wants to avoid knox trip. You made the choice to root...so no more warranty, and if you got bad luck and have to repair your phone, just pay for it

Because I'm an software engineer and I know exactly what I'm doing by rooting.
Denying root with this knox and other bull***, locked bootloaders, etc, is totally unacceptable to me.
I refuse to lose warranty for some hardware fault that might occur (and I've had many issues over the years and dozens of phones) on something I own because I got "root" access.
I dare someone to tell me that I've lost warranty on my laptop because I installed CentOS, logged in as root and twiddled with my bootloader.
It's entirely and utterly a matter of principle.
Don't expect you to agree, just helping you to "understand".

When is the New update for Towelroot?
I've recieved this update too, what would happen if I update without unrooting? I've deleted a few pre-installed apps, when updating, I won't have a problem with that will I?
Thanks!

Quite simple, when you see the ota, remove ALL changes yiu nade to system (e.g. adblock hosts file)unroot from within SuperSU, then reboot then accept the OTA.
Bare in mind if you do this, there is currently no way to root again without knox trip

Or flash an older kernel with Odin, root with TR and after that flash the new kernel with Odin again. Here is a link for how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044. Easiest is to downgrade to an older rom imo.

I'm in the exact same position. Did this work for you?
Were you able to downgrade and root without tripping the KNOX flag?
This works guaranteed , you can downgrade without tripping KNOX.

You can't root whithout pc,there are no root apps for S4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615
What did you use to try and root? Because Odin on the PC, the original cable for the S4, and CF-Autoroot should have this device rooted in about a minute. Be aware though that CF-Autoroot will trip the Knox flag.

Sure they work. They also work on the S4. Just NOT on your firmware. You need an older firmware (or kernel) for it to work.

afaik, towelroot will not work on OB6/OF1 (5.x.x) stock ROMs. The vuln that it used was patched in those releases.
