Did you flash the nc1 kernel with Odin? You said you didn't have a computer. You need to be on that kernel for towelroot to work

It said I had to use a SD card reader but I don't have the piece to use it and I can't figure out how to use the Downloader because I could not transfer the file because I could not find the device

If you're going to root your phone you'll need to get your pc to recognize it or you won't be able to flash the nc1 kernel. When booted into download mode and you'd phone connected to your pc what do you see in device manager? I assume you have a Windows pc.

I understand that you'd like to do it without a computer, but without the nc1 kernel there is no way to root. And you'll need a computer to run Odin and flash the nc1 kernel.
tldr, it ain't happening!

I suppose at this time it wouldn't hurt to try but it looks like the phone has to at least try to boot for It to work. You'll also need another working s4 to run the dd command on to pull the image file off of

Try backing up your ext SD and formatting it. Sometimes it is needed.
Actually I found an app called NextApp SDfix. Worked pretty good

Now if I can figure out how to get custom roms on my phone. Tried to install twrp through goo.im said no recovery found. I've been flashing for years but this Knox has me scared to do anything.

I misunderstood, I thought you already tried the card fix and it didn't work. Head over to the SafeStrap thread and install that. You will need busybox installed first before SafeStrap. For the custom ROMs most if not all have easy to follow directions.

How can I install a custom recovery on n9005 stock without using a PC?

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Need root. To root without a pc try towel root. Not sure if any other work. After root seach in twrp page how to flash recovery using terminal emulator
"This phone isn't currently supported" - Towel root
I think Tr supports only Exynos Note 3... not n9005. I also tried Framaroot and that didn't work also.

You need a pc for root
Well I don't have a PC. There should be a PC-free way...

Then you go ahead and make one, buddy. I'm sure the community will thank you for it.
If I knew how to make it I wouldn't be standing here asking these questions.

Only using Odin, which requires a PC. There is no other way to replace the stock recovery.
I have no PC so there has to he another way...
