NI2 is 4.4.4. Regardless, you need to go to NCG, 4.4.2 to get root. Odin the full stock NCG tar. Root with towelroot. Then download SuperSU from play store. Update the binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store, then install. Install safestrap.

Thank you so much!!!!
So flash the full NCG in Odin and not NI2?

you could try an older version of kingo. 1.1.6 is what worked for me. I posted a link to my dropbox folder in the q & a thread where someone asked for it. I have heard vroot for other folks, but I never tried it.

KitKat can't be rooted, you have to install a rooted KK ROM through an already rooted device in SafeStrap then install the firmware with Odin.

This is not 100% accurate. You flash a ROOTED kitkat in SafeStrap and then flash the proper kernels and such in Odin. You are not flashing the full firmware using Odin.

The file you are flashing is 76MB. No Note 3 firmware is 76MB. You are flashing a kernel, modem and bootloader that are not included with the SafeStrap flash.

Did you initially take the OTA and root or did you upgrade from MJE to 4.4.2 via a ROM flash and Odin?
If you rooted MJE and upgraded that way all you need to do is follow the instructions in the first link you posted then take the OTA.

Was it NC2 or NC4?
If it was NC2 and you just want stock NC4 (OTA) then just use the instructions in the first link you posted, that will bring you back to stock MJE, then just take the OTA. I would also follow these instructions to fully wipe your internal sdcard in SS before using Odin to go back to MJE.

If it was NC2 (check your build number in about phone and see if it ends in NC2) then use Odin to flash the full MJE tar file, root it with Towelroot, install SS (3.65) , SU and busybox (once you install the BB app open it and do the actuall install). Once that is all done I would suggest you install beans stock, root, deodex NC4 ROM and then wait for Baja 16.
Just follow the instructions in the second post for "Coming From NC2/MJE"
Here is a link to that ROM.

What firmware do you want to end up on? Lollipop or kitkat?
Flash the NCG file using odin. Root with towel root. Download supersu from playstore. Update it's binaries, then reboot your phone. Install busy box from playstore. Open it and install it. I would install safestrap. You are officially rooted and have a custom recovery. You will be on 4.4.2. You can now boot into recovery and install a custom rom. If it is something other than 4.4.2 you will boot into download mode through safestrap and in odin, flash the correct kernel for that rom (follow the roms op instructions.). You could also use flash fire instead of odin.

Currently what firmware you are running right now? If you already OTA to OE1 or OG5 you CAN'T ROOT ANYMORE. SO DON'T DO IT.
