Hi these are the current details of my phone:
Version: 5.0.1 Lollipop
Android Security Patch Level: 2015-11-01
Baseband Version: i9506XXUDOJ2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-6069869(Sat Nov 7)
Build Number: LRX22C.I9506XXUDOK1
I was browsing around the forums and saw a method with towelroot but the latest towelroot v3 says "Every Android phone with a kernel build date < Jun 3".
Can I still use v3?
You will have to try for yourself.
And tripping Knox is not the end of the world. Unless you actually use it.
Haha I just wanted to see if I could do it without tripping. I couldn't find a way to not trip it, so I just went ahead to root it the "normal" way. Now its tripped and I have a successfully rooted phone.
Figuring out how to install Xposed now and realised I have to deodex my ROM to install it.

How did you root your phone ?
Because our phone is not supported by towellroot v3
Thanks
Rooting may be possible by flashing TWRP and then flashing supersu from TWRP.
TWRP here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4ltea.html
@audit13: CF-Autoroot I think you mean, since this is a Samsung device with Knox.

So my friend told me to root my new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Verizon), but I am a complete noob and do not want to mess up my new phone.
He told me to be careful so I don't brick my device, and too read the forums. I have spent all day reading the forums and still don't know what I should do.
I saw a video explaining how to get root by going to towelroot.com, but this seems too easy to be true and safe.
Can I get root and not have to worry about bricking or tripping knox with towelroot?
If towelrool is ok to use then I will just go ahead with that, but If there is something better, could someone please point me in the right direction with what I need to download.
Thanks for any help and here is some of my device info if that helps...

For those of us who took the OTA, ... That app http://towelroot.com/ is the only exploit that provides root access for VZW N3.
yes. i am going to sound confusing now so hold on...Towel root is what it is... download. install. click.. your phone will reboot with root access ... it is a one click method... however, the bootloader and recovery is still locked on your device, and if you try to install CWM or TWRP, at this time you will trip KNOXX and void your warranty. Install SafeStrap instead from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53701934&postcount=1298.. then flash only one other file from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760380 thanks to the DEVs that have been working on this the whole shebang seems almost too simple, like you said... i agree.. i did everyrthing in that post as i installed Jasmine Rom. why? because the DEV is kickass, with the updates, i like the S5 themes, and its pretty simple to set up compared to what you've probably read up on..
and its really close to stock, which, of course, ive tried out a couple of other roms since then, and it still works (the phone)
Regarding KNoXX , your device will still read 0x0 , but it will say "custom" status .. you can fix this
if you root your phone and your status says "custom"..a flashable zip file here will fix that http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu you can find links to Safestrap, "unified files" and step by step instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760380 some more on what i mean by "custom" http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/2014-01-15-triangleaway-v3-26-t1494114 This does the same , maybe better http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473938
Towel root will not "hard brick" your phone ,,, meaning your phone is basically an expensive paperweight... ii gave you thseds links because its what worked for me... however, you know whats best for you..
So I'm new to the whole android scene but I would like to root my phone. I have read up on rooting and whatnot but before going any further I decided to post a thread here with a couple of my questions. Here is some info about my phone in-case it was needed.
Model number - SM-G900V
Android Version - 4.4.4
Baseband version - G900VVRU1ANI2
Kernel Version - 3.4.0 Sun Sept 14
Now onto the questions
1) I looked at towel root and apparently it is one of the roots that doesn't trip KNOX but towelroot doesn't work on kernels after June 3 and mine just so happens to be after June 3 so would it be better to find a new rooting method that wouldn't trigger KNOX or try to flash a kernel prior to june third then use towelroot.
2) After I root will I need to maintain the root by installing updates to it or anything like that.
3) If towelroot isn't an option any more what is the best method to root without triggering KNOX?
That's all for now but I am sure more questions will arise as they are answered.
Thanks for the help
Hello
Is there a warranty safe method for rooting SM-G900F? (Without tripping knox, voiding warranty etc.)
I don't want anything irreversible about warranty, knox etc.
If you're running Kitkat there are plenty of tutorials kicking about the forums, if you're running Lollipop, you'll need to downgrade first
I'm running KitKat but i don't know which KitKat build i must use to proper rooting. The tutorials aren't clear enough please redirect me.
If it's a build from before June 2014, you can root using Towelroot
If it's a build after June 2014, you'll need to either downgrade further, or flash a kernel from an earlier build, root, then flash your original kernel back again
Thanks for your great help. Is Towelroot only safe method for rooting or do we have any alternatives
I haven't heard of any others, but I've only had my S5 a couple months
Towelroot is just an app, so you can't really get much easier than that

Thank you so much for your answers You're very helpful @*Detection*. I'll use "towelroot" app.
Hi I Just did the 2nd update of lollipop 5.0 with software version ending in BOD3. But i have seem to have lost my root access. I'm very familiar with rooting my phone. But not sure what I need to do on this new process. If someone could lend me a hand that would be great. Thanks

How did you update? Did you have KNOX 0x0 before updating?
If you have tripped KNOX flag already (0x1) then just use CF Autoroot, i assume you have an SM-G900F since you mentioned BOD3.

Hi Gele73
You don't need FlashFire to upgrade without tripping Knox. The Samsung way, using Odin, is reliable and will not void your guarantee.
These are the firmwares available for you.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device.
ALWAYS backup before starting any of these procedures.
Nice regards, good luck and mainly, have fun.

Hi Kdio,
thank you for your answer. I know how I can get the latest android version my phone and I also know how to flash it by odin but I've root and I think I will lose root if I flash the current firmware (6.01) via odin. I'm right?
The main question is how I can update to 6.01 without losing root and tripping Knox.

From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
'Starting from Android 6.0.1 there is no way to keep KNOX 0x0 in case of installation with root (by default), even if you use FlashFire! The reason is that in case of Android 5.1+ root require at least patched sepolicy in the kernel's ramdisk (that means => modified boot.img). The only way to keep KNOX 0x0 in such case is Android 5.0 -> 6.0.1 update using FlashFire with no root).'

Okay, forget KNOX 0x0.
Is there still anyway to root the SM-G900FD? I cant find anything for this device.

Try ALEXANDR's for G900FD http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bof1-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3145437
Solid stock based 6.0.1 ROM with root and some useful optional add-ons and mods like Xposed, camera, phone and sms apps
MM version can be flashed using FlashFire, but as already mentioned it will trip KNOX.
Remember to also flash the corresponding modem and bootloader for MM using Odin.
