Yes it works... and lots of people are writing about it. It's just that the people who needed this the most are those with the locked bootloaders, so most of the discussion is in the AT&T and Verizon-specific forums.

And with people on xda usually wanting to flash stuff youre gonna trip it anyway with recovery

I rooted my n9005 running 4.3 a few days a go. I just flashed cf root by odin.
I have heard it trips knox and warranty is voided.

Yes you can root it but you will trip knox to 0x1 from 0x0 meaning you lose warranty in some countries, the UK for certain
OK thanks for the reply s done that also mean I can no longer unroot after knox has be tripped!

I havent rooted yet amd im still on 4.3. Which is the best method to root without tripping? I just tried Kingo and it gave me a prompt about voiding warranty so i didnt go ahead. However, i was told that kingo does it fine with 4.3 and doesn't trip knox. So now i'm left conused :/
Yeah I was gonna try kings but read a bit 1st on there Facebook page they say kit kat 4.4.2 not supported! So gonna have to read up to do it manually fc-auto root looks OK but I need to know before I dive in and go ahead with it!

Just to clarify, you can unroot but you can't reset Knox warranty void to 0x0...
If you are on KK then make sure you use the LATEST cf-autoroot or you will get a soft brick... If you use ODIN 3.09 you put the cf-autoroot file in AP, if you use any lower then put the file in PDA...
Cheers don't suppose you got the fc-auto root link not sure if you can put up a link in here cheers

It will trip. No safe method in kitkat. At least yet. Dunno future
Sent from N9005 NC2 ROM.
From what people say. There is an e-fuse for the knox switch. Once you Flash, the switch goes from 0x0 to 0x1. The e-fuse apparently cannot be reset.
But there has been instances where rooting has not toggled the knox switch

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Where i live the N comes after the M alfabeticaly so you will get flagged.
URDLV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850 :
What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!
Is there is any way to make my 3g dongol over otg work without rooting

No way to do that directly. HOWEVER for N900 it seems to be possible to reset knox flag and downgrade - look after the relevant threads around!

remember rooting with cf autoroot will trip ur knox counter to 0x1, meaning your warranty will be gone. use towelroot method instead.

Don't suggest towelroot if your not willing to test it yourself ? That's like asking someone to brick their phone intentionally ?
If you won't do it don't suggest someone to experiment for you

you shouldnt be suggesting me not to use others phones as experiments if you never ever had the facts (as u stated in ur last post). But whatever, just use towelroot if you don feel like tripping knox. good luck !
Thanks for the reply guys.
My phone is not in warrenty period.Its finished just before 2 days. So I am thinking to root it. And if warranty doesn't matter it is ok to use CF Auto root? Please link me to the CF Auto root and compatible CWM recovery for S4 i9500.
And one more thing I don't know about 'towelroot'.

You shouldn't run into any problems just flash with odin and once flash is complete do a nandroid backup before flashing a new custom rom

[Q] Note 3 ROOTING and KNOX

Hi Guys,
I have a new Note 3 (SM-9005) and wanted a definitive answer about triggering KNOX 0x1.
Is it possible for me to root without triggering KNOX?
I am not bothered about Custom ROMS at the moment or Recoveries. Just want ROOT.
My FW\SW details are;
AP: N9005XXUFNF4
CP: N9005XXUFNF2
CSC: N9005OXAFNF4
Any help greatly appreciated.
