I remember on my old Verizon Note 2 I could just download busybox drivers and stuff and then hook it in the PC and just run ghetto root and it rooted it automatically with no hassle, and now I'm seeing bootloading and ODIN stuff and I'm pretty much a noob at this stuff, so is there an easier method that roots automatically or I don't have to do much?
Sorry :l
Easiest method I know of would be to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.
yes...
1. Download TWRP for Note 3(your model) from twrp.me
2. Download supersu for Note 3 and copy to Phone/SD card. (both TWRP and Supersu have XDA threads as well)
3. Download and install Samsung drivers in PC.
4. Download and open ODIN in PC.
5. Follow "Odin Flash" instructions (connect Phone and get into Download mode using key combo) from TWRP download page and install via ODIN.
6. After installing, Power Off phone and get into Recovery (by key combo) and flash Supersu.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
8. Power up.
It looks big but just a 10 mins work
Why Flash twrp? If only root needed. Wouldn't it be easier just to flash supersu in odin?
Odin doesn't work for all models and ROMs of the Note 3.

Same happens to me with N910G. There is some write protection going on. Not sure whether KNOX or the bootloader itself is causing this.
Edit: Okay, I've successfully flashed twrp by using a roundabout method which I'll explain below.
1. Gain root using cf-auto root and odin
2. Place twrp.img somewhere on your phone
3. Download flashify
4. Open flashify and grant it root access
5a(optional) Backup your stock recovery
5b. Select recovery and locate twrp.img on your (ext)sdcard
6. Success! reboot into recovery mode to use twrp
hello guys.below is the easiest method to root your phone and install TWRP recovery.
Download
1) twrp recovery
2) usb drivers
from here - http://androidurdu.net/download-and-install-new-2-8-7-0-twrp-on-lenovo-k3-note-mt6752/
Now after downloading the above
download recovery lemon k3 note from https://userscloud.com/yexc173ibpv8.
download flash tool from https://userscloud.com/958tvsa17724.
download SuperSU v2.46 from https://userscloud.com/o8m7u398nmv5
Now let's begin with the exciting part
1. put SuperSU in your external sd card before flashing recovery.
2. now open flash tool .exe .
3. select MT6752 Android_scatter.txt from recovery lemon k3 note folder.
4. uncheck all options except recovery and select the twrp recovery image file.
5. in flash tool go to options->download-> chech the box with 'da dl all with checksum'.
remove the battery and connect the phone to pc. start download .wait for 5 seconds and put the battery without disconnecting the phone from the pc.
after the download is complete boot into recovery and install supersu.zip.
your phone is now rooted and you can try new roms!!!
p.s.- cm12.1 beta 1 for k3 note- call feature is not working.
Thanks, I have already rooted it.. Any way to unroot to get the latest OTA?
BTW what do you mean by call feature is Not working in last line?
Well you can unroot using SuperSU .it has got an option for permanent unroot. I am not sure about this method but u can try this.
By call.. I mean that cm12.1 has still got bugs and presently sim feature(ril) is not working.
This is for the verizon Note Edge.
I can't post in our forum but I had problems getting root. Kingo root works but I had to wipe my phone to root it before and after getting developer mode.
These are the steps I used:
Wipe data in stock recovery (Vol Up, Home, Power button).
Remove SIM card.
Restart phone.
Setup phone over WiFi.
Run Kingo Root.
Achieve Developer mode.
Repeat steps 1-5.
Flash the TWRP 3.0 file by mickey387 (I think was his name) and install supersu to gain permanent root.
I couldn't get my phone to show up in Odin and adb/fastboot would restart the phone in recovery but never loaded twrp after numerous tries at both. I had taken the 03/01/2016 Android Security Patch which I'm sure is probably why kingroot wouldn't work. I'm not sure why Odin and adb/fast wouldn't load twrp until after I was rooted again in Developer mode by the Kingo root app even though the kingo root app uses adb too.
Hi,
I want to go from 4.4.2 stock unrooted device to the official CM12.1 ROM. However, I am not sure what I need to do/have and the order in which I should proceed in order to make the process safe and optimal. I think that if someone more knowledgeable writes a simple guide here on in a separate thread on this topic it will be immensely helpful to the community.
Thanks in advance!
You only have to follow three guides:
1. Root your device
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash CM
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Twrp manager app
3. Cm12.1
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. After rooting install twrp recovery by twrp manager app.
3. Then boot your phone into recovery mode and click on "install" then choose cm12.1
You don't need a pc for this... GOOD LUCK
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Flashify (from the play store)
3. Twrp manager app
4. Cm12.1
5. Open Gapps (ones you prefer, I use mini)
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. Install Flashify & make a backup of stock kernel & recovery.
3. Install twrp recovery. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). THEN USE IT TO MAKE COMPLETE COSTUME BACKUP! Check every single partition to make a backup of (you may consider for the size reasons skipping the data partition, that is one containing apps you installed). Transfer this backup to a PC or other safe storage & take a good care of it because when ever you screw up things this one will allowe you to get back to stock. Also do the same with Flashify Kernel & stock recovery backups.
4. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). If not already there. Do the wipe! Install CyanogenMod 12.1 (I strongly recommend last official build) & after that install Gapps.
You are done with installing.
Lett it boot for a first time (which takes some time), do a initial required setup & after that go to options about the phone & tap on revision number until you enable developer options, then go into developer options & enable root access (to regain it) for apps & ADB.
& there you go. I leave future installing & adjusting what ever you want to your preferred choice.

now I noticed you have PC, are you on stock rom?
can you backup your important data ?
do you have your mobile firmware on your pc ?(you can just download it from sammobile)
if you have all then you should install your firmware again via odin in order to make your phone clean( i don't advise you to do factory reset because superSU became a system app in your case )
after that you should install custom recovery like TWRP or other.... and it must be official, you can pick it from this form or from TWRP site, *tar or *md5 format, then install it via odin, this will be the first step in any phone rooting or other things.....
then download superSU (chainfire) *zip format to your SDcard or phone memory
then boot into recovery and take backup for most important thing (efs,boot,....)
after than install superSU .zip in recovery mode..then reboot to system
now open SU apk and let him remove Knox....
reboot again, and enjoy......
Best Regards
