It won't work. The guy that wrote towelroot was hired by Google to fix the exploit he found. No phones after June can be rooted that way.

Thanks for your information!!

Can't root phone with latest update

My son updated his phone last night with the OTA 4.3 update. He asked me to root it this morning, and it fails every time. It seems that Lookout is stopping it. I disabled lookout, but it seems to be integrated in the new software. I tried every method on this forum. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers. Just typed up a bunch of crap on knox, so not getting in to it again, but if I were you, i'd wait for a confirmed knox safe method.

Will we keep root on kitkat

With an update to kitkat happening in the near future I started to think that root may not be so easy. Our bootloader being locked down don't help matters. Right now Kingo is giving users problems and the only other option being vroot.
But what if neither of these work with kitkat?
I will not take an update until I confirm root is possible.
If there's any devs out there that can unlock this bad boy please don't give up.
So what's everyone else think?
I think that in the future people who want root will need to buy a developer's edition.

True but the unfortunate thing is Verizon and or Samsung don't make enough available.
Would be nice if they started to manufacture more dev units in the future.
Or Verizon can just unlock the bootloaders.

I'm guessing that they will make more. There will, and may now be, some significant legal difference between the two. A lot of people want rooted phones so when bootloaders are no longer exploitable they will come up with a scheme to exploit those root-wanters.

I heard a while ago that kitkat could break some root apps. I wonder if anyone is experiencing that?
I haven't heard anyone say anything about it so hopefully that's not a factor anymore.

Look up Chainfire on Google+ he has a write up on root breakage with KitKat in his community. Lots of good stuff there.

I see Tmo guys have been able to root 4.4.2 with Chainfires CF Autoroot tool but it trips knox.
Wonder how this is going to be for us?

Everything I've read about how Kitkat screws up access to SD card makes me want to have no part of it. When I hear it is coming to vzw I plan to root and try to figure out how to stay stock mje and block updates. The only thing I really want fixed is the compass and since Nobody admits it's a problem I don't expect any update to fix it.

Tmobile guys don't need kingo to root since they have an unlocked bootloader. If it wasn't for t-mobile's poor network compared to verizon I'd switch in a heat beat.

They were having trouble rooting the kitkat build on tmo. My friend just picked up a tmo note 3 and the only way for him to root was to use chainfires CF autoroot but it trips knox. Which he didn't care.

None. Help test if you want it faster.
At the moment rcartaz09 and Faznx92 are right. There are no confirmed ways to root 13.3.2.1 and 14.3.2.1 just yet. If you want to stay up to date on things I recommend taking time to go through the forum for this device and read through them carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2540
Also two threads I found to stay up to date on this topic are the following. Just simply read, follow up, and be patient:

Opening this in the T-Mobile section implied that there was root now. I am subscribed to both areas and tho I knew other models already had root for days, ours hadn't yet.
@Chainfire should release soon. many have shipping confirmation already,
Aaaaand, its released for n910t. Although one user has reported some issues with it.

I know it's irrational, but I have a problem with tripping knox, so I'll wait a bit. Sucks though -- I miss root.
Wonder if root DeLavega can be done on note 4 I know knox is a newer version and probably has the fix incorporated for that, just thinking out loud
