Hi everyone,
I am currently rooted with Towelroot and fairly familiar with rooting.
I am wondering if I were to root my note 3 now, will towel root interfere with anything? Do I follow the guides verbatim or are there any special things I need to take note of?

Just download the app open it and push the symbol in the app. It will root. Granted your on 4.4.2 no it will not mess with anything.

So I'm rooted now, all I need to do is to follow the instructions on twrp recovery to get it an I can start flashing the roms?

How did you get TWRP to install successfully? What error messages are you getting?
Not sure if it's a requirement, but did you enable Developer Options and check the USB Debugging box?

Jeez......have u tried to reinstall the drivers on ur computer? Are u opening Odin with admin privileges? I would start over from scratch and re download the tar file and go back to stock and try to Odin cf auto root and then install goo manager and install the custom recovery. I hope u get it worked out.

I rooted my phone or at least I thought I did, but when I try to use flashing it says I don't have superuser access. I have successfully rooted a galaxy we and a HTC one xl, so I don't consider myself a noob. I guess I am to this device though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just read this guide:

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.

You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
Hello. I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using Kingo Root program and it was successfully completed. I am wondering what's the next step to take to get custom ROMS. I'm wanting to get CyanogenMod 11 into my phone, but I don't know how to do this. Please help, anyone.
Thank you.

Hi, what you have to do is install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP via Odin (a computer program) and then you enter the recovery with your cellphone and there you can flash new roms, you can search via google, there you will find excellent tutorials
It appears that my Bootloader is locked and when I tried to install a custom ROM, it put me into boot looping.

I have TWRP and I can flash my ROM and whatnot. For some reason it won't flash CM11, but it adds the updated Gapps. Any suggestions?

Install cwm recovery and give it another go.

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.
Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?

And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703
However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.
