Google is your friend. Take a look: HERE.
That doesn't work... as said in the comments of the website the cf autoroot file is old.

Hey, so I am new to this group! Thanks for existing and being so willing to help!!
So here is my question, I want to root my GS4 but was not able to find good information on how to do so when running Android 4.4.2. I do not want to downgrade to 4.3 so please don't suggest that option. I also (obviously) don't want to brick my phone so a "safe" option would be nice.
My hardware again is a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337, Android Version 4.4.2, Carrier AT&T, USA, and last three characters of the Baseband version is NB1.
Anyway, any tips, pointers, links or other help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Too bad! Do you believe that there will be an option eventually? Or is there a "hard wall" that completely prevents it?

Maybe. I don't know. I downgraded my phone after I updated to 4.4 because I didn't see much of a difference and I wanted to root and flash ROMs.

There's no hard wall, but devs are doing other things like Hash working on kexec and others looking into bootloader exploits and whatnot. May I ask why you don't want to downgrade? The method's been tested and simplified a bit, and you don't need ODIN every time you want to flash a different ROM or mod now.

Thanks for the quick responses! I just got the phone Tuesday (yes I know the s5 comes out tomorrow) and some how I missed that At&t decided to lock boot loaders. I guess at&t is jealous that a group of enthusiast and hobby programmers can produce awesome firmware and doesn't have their trash/bloatware. I'll probably give these a try soon. I think the stock firmware is okay but I do miss my root privileges and aosp/cm/aokp ROMS. Thanks again guys.

Good news... the guy who said there is no way to root 4.4.2 with SuperSU is wrong
Use towel root and then install supersu from market but don't open it yet... Now install terminal emulator open and type 'su' and supersu will prompt. Type into terminal emulator without the quotes of course, 'pm disable com.whateverknoxappnameislol' I can't recall the Knox app name off hand. When you finish close term emu and open SuperSU no and update binaries, then it'll prompt to disable Knox and it'll succeed. Reboot, uninstall Towel Root, and enjoy.

that method works if you are on ni1. Just use towelroot for anything else
Hi guys,
I am a newbie. I need help on my GN3 N9005ZHUENB5. I want to root it, install custom recovery and custom ROMS. However, I am not sure what method I should use.
Did anybody had the same firmware that I have who SUCCESSFULLY rooted their GN3? what method did you use?
additional help is highly appreciated.

1. Read carefully. We aren't here to spoonfeed everyone, we're here to develop new ideas and share contributions on XDA.
2. With what info are we prepped with? Model number? Android version? *#1234# codes?
3. You need TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery and you can backup your EFS there.

Thanks mate I see it now.
Ok my note 3 AP is N9005XXUDMJ7.
My CSC is N9005XSADMJ2.
So with my csc mj2 if I root it will not trip my knox is that correct?
Also I have been told that I should update to 4.4.2 before I root but am worried it will update my csc also.
I just want to make sure I do it correctly and don't trip knox.
I thank you in advance.

Not the csc
Urs is mj7. It will trip.
Why u have been told to upgrade first before root? Because if u root then upgrade, u will need to reroot again.
Any stock flashing will auto unroot ur device again. So why do twice?

Hi,
im trying to help someone root his S5 the easiest way possible as i cant get to him and he's not too computer savvy. Some sort of 1 click method would be great as i can talk him through it.
Does anyone know if towelroot.com still works for it? Or is there something similar
UK version if that matters
thanks in advance

Hi,
towelroot works fine, but you need a stock 4.4.2 and install the boot NE2 (To Odine) have to get to the root...
it keeps knox to 0X0.
Stock verizon note3 sm900v

I'm not finding much in ways of options for root currently. Is it possible to flash my phone back to 4.4.2, root once there, then sideload 4.4.4? Using something like Odin maybe?

Towel Root

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?
Hey you all
I have found a few pages on rooting our Verizon note 3 4.4.4. I do not know how to attach the link but if you look it up in XDA Verizon Note 3 you will find it there. Thanks to designgears.

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?
