Only NCG firmware can be rooted ( downgrade via Odin). Run towelroot, install SuperSU (update its binaries and then reboot your phone), install busybox, then install safestrap. After all that you can use Odin to get to the firmware you want to run and keep root.

Thanks for the response where do i get those files for downgrade thanks

See down in the notes #4 for unrooted phones.
Root with towelroot, install SuperSU from play store, update the binaries (normal method), reboot phone, download busybox from play store and install. Then you can install safestrap.

i download everything but when i connect my s5 to my pc and open odin it dosnt say that is added odin is not reading my device

Are you in download mode? Have you installed the Samsung USB drivers to your PC (see below).

I used kingo root for mje. There is a thread in the genral section titled "All things root......" that has a lot of information about rooting the VZW version of the note 3. I do not know about your second question though.

Mike...You got the latest OTA and were still able to root?
No, actually I didn't get mje ota. It kept failing for some reason. I had to install it with odin. But yes I was able to root mje. Forgive me its been a while since I rooted it, but I do remember that it would not work with the stock cord. I had to use the cord from my droid 4. I tried several before it would register.

Help with Rooting Note 3
Looking for some help, trying to root my brand new Note 3 on Verizon and not having any luck.
Things I have tried.
Kingo multiple computers fails every time either unstable connection or bad script
I don't have antivirus on my Windows 7 X64 machine nor on my Windows 8.1 machine.
I have tried 2 different cables. one from my HTC and one from my Samsung note 3 (not using USB 3.0)
rebooted device, double, tripled checked that USB debug, and allow unknown sources are checked
universal de la vega.. fails and soft bricks my phone and I have to recover.
Cf-root haven't tried as I can't find the tar file for my Verizon phone.
Does anyone have any insight on were to look.
Can I flash a rom that is already rooted using Odin?
At this point I need WiFi tether for work or I will lose my mind. and could care less about Knox.
Thanks for any and all help:crying:

Try Vroot it should work. Just replace the Chinese superuser with Chainfires supersu when you are rooted.You can not flash a rooted rom through Odin it will brick your phone because the signature will fail.

Cool, I forgot to tell you that it's safe to uninstall the other Chinese app that gets installed. I have no idea what it is but it can go. I've used both Kingo and Vroot with no problems with the phone. Enjoy root, flash safestrap v1.65 and stary enjoying the ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development . If you need help with safestrap go to the link 4 posts up AZbiker wrote up.

I want to install a full Hebrew, You might know how to do it?
And how can I install CWM? I'm trying to do this in ODIN failed
For Hebrew look up language enabler in the play store I think it may be what you want. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam As for CWIM that won't work on our phones because of the locked bootloader. Our only option is to root with Kingo or Vroot and then install safestrap witch works great. There is a link about six posts back for all the info you may need for that

The bootloader will not be open but with vroot and safestrap you will have root and be able to install ROMs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development
As for the bootloader being unlocked your guess is as good as mine to if and when it will happen. With safestrap atleast we can install some ROMs. Enjoy.

Like norbarb said, you can't install a custome recovery follow this:
To root, install Safetrap and flash your rom:
a.If you've used the rootable version to upgrade your firmware you can boot into your device and use towelroot to root it. Towelroot by @geohot can be found here. https://towelroot.com
b.Now download and install chainfire’s supersu apk from the play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
c.Use Safestrap 3.72 as your custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
d.Before installing safestrap go to the play store and install SELinux Mode Changer, grant it root access and change mode to “permissive”, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=en
e.Flash your rom and the nc1 module, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=17227 Thanks to guut13
Thanks buds well i used towelroot and know i will see if it works
i will let yall know how it all went down. thanks.

[Q] How can I root 4.4.4?

I tried towelroot and it didn't work. I want to root so I can write to external SD. The gallery app is SO slow on the device and quickpic is much much faster. But I unfortunately can't delete or move pictures cause of the restriction. There's an app on the store that will fix it, but I need root.
I have a sprint note 3, and I'm on 4.4.4

There are only some rooting methods available for Note 3: URDLV, CF-Auto root and Towelroot.
Did you try Towelroot?

what is the best for root galaxy a3?

waiting for me arrivals [I ordered today] I am preparing to root immediately but I have doubts
- Some who have used cf-autoroot had problems [the phone start always in recovery]
- Towelroot and kingoroot on their sites do not speak of compatibility wth this device
- Framaroot? does it work? but did not in the list
suggest me because I'm afraid of brick just bought [and i love xposed]
Use kingoroot. No knox tripping.
Cf auto root works but trips the knox.

Would it still be possible to flash official Lollipop using Odin and knox tripped to 0x1 ? What about future versions if any should be ever released?

without root and this mod, for me, my telephone is an "half" telephone
the phone arrived, I did the whole procedure with kingoroot , rootchecker and told me that I had got the root. then a message informed me that SE Linux would reactivated to restart. restart and lose the root. knox is definitely keeping me from, how should I do?

I've had similar problem with KingRoot. Lost root after every reboot (I used SuperSume previously to replace it with SuperSu). However, sometimes root access was intact. Then i copied su binary from /system/xbin to /system/bin/.ext (yes, dot ext) and after that problem was gone.

i was tryed SuperSU app and the message is "impossible to disable knox"
i think is knox the problem.i would to try to re-root, immediatly freeze knox apps with titanium or similar, then reboot.
but with this device i very very afraid of bootlop or brick, also because we haven't a recovery for solve problems [nandroid backup save me may times with s4 mini]
tomorrow i re-try, tonight the eletric line in my city is on-off [many air conditioners busy the line!!!]
since it can be useful for other users, I notice that I was able to solve the problems. before i freeze the knox apps with uninstaller pro, then I removed manually with root explorer [uninstaller pro could not eliminate them], so I have not gone more posts by SElinux and the root is safe and full garanted. xposed ok. please not install SuperSU because was in conflict with the similar app provided by kingo
who should serve: root with kingoroot from PC > elimination knox apks> reboot
I read now that are coming to the recovery ... interesting !!!
Cf aouto root is king but if you dont like it or have problems try downloading towel root or kingroot onbthe phone or kingoroot on windows or try cyanogenmod installer.

did you check whether its properly Rooted using SU or Root checker?
Also not all Kitkat compatible Xposed modules are working with Lollipop (esp in Touchwiz)
And what recovery have you installed to flash ROM?
i checked it with root checker app get it through play store... it shows my device is rooted but still i am not able to install omega rom. i rood my mobile with ( CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900) with odin BASEBAND N900DDUEBOB1. & STILL IT SHOWS STOCK RECOVERY MODE.
You need to flash recovery separately.
If you read instructions in CF Auto Root, they'd have mentioned as Outcomes as (Root + Stock Recovery)
Flash TWRP or Philz after that
