If you still have android 4.3 jelly bean then use root De la Vega. That version doesn't unlock the counter in Knox

Cf auto root is fine provided you accept that it will trigger Knox to 0x1.

I rooted my galaxy s4 after flashing 4.4.2 and I dont remember how I disabled knox over it and got my all root apps running. I used cf autoroot and odin.
So the procedure for note 3 will be same?

Rooting will allow root apps to work. If you want to remove knox then flash a custom rom.

As a relative newbie I find the above undecipherable. What is cf root? I just got a note 3 and none of the "one click" programs succeed. I got developer options visible and usb debugging turned on. What do I do next and where can I get cf root whatever it is. I still have twrp leftover from my s3. Any use?
Thanks for the help!

If you know what root does to your phone go for it. If not dont even try to root it may brick your phone.
Tell me which version do you have ill find instructions to root it for you.

CF-Autoroot :

Read the thread carefully before you continue, find the suitable file for your Android version. You never provide the details of your device.
Btw, your somehow "leftover" from your S3, are not usable anymore.
Different device need different methods of rooting, recovery, and ROMS. No other device tools can be used for cross device unless with a proper code porting.
Cheers.

SM-N900V VZW version of Note 3
VRUBMJE
Android 4.3 (yuck)
Thanks in advance and yes I rooted my S3 and got frustrated when they pushed 4.3 out. I had to re-root and I never could find a launcher I liked for it. I bricked my S 3 a few times finding my way around. From advice found here I succeeded in recovering several times. I have TRW on the phone but I'm assuming it won't be that useful.

I'm just stock and rooted. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a specific recovery to use. I don't want to brick. Do you know what I should use?
@Tiraniss Im new to Cspire and I don't see much development for our phones hopefully some nice developer will take interest in our devices soon.
I sure hope so. I was able to flash cm on my s4 but the screen got smashed.
Anybody had any luck with this? I've recently switched back to c spire...

1. If you're trying to just root it just use towel root. Its super easy and it works well with the galaxy s4. Just google search towel root and first link should be it
2. This is the wrong section. There is a q&a section for a reason, for questions to be answered. So please use it
Thank you
Okie sory
Thanks for your information let me try and let you know

A galaxy S4 and a Macbook, those things shouldn't be in the same sentence.
However, I found this video on google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SluqWPus8&list=PLdq__cOJ2egyX7yodrOhlI1Tf2tHG_oVH
Hope this will help you root your awesome GS4.
Or else you could download an app called Towelroot and root the phone from the phone itself.

That guide is outdated and will not work.
Just use Heimdall to flash cf auto root. I rooted it that way using my mac.
