You can try Rashr:

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Try Mobile Odin Pro or Flashify, both in Play.

Use Odin to Flash TWRP img.tar

Then boot into recovery - and make a backup of System - Data - Boot - EFS & Modem.

Download the Rom & Gapps (if you're going to flash an AOSP Rom) of your choice and enjoy

Guys I have a question

I have original firmware and I get OTA updates. If I root my phone with CF-Auto-Root , can I still get OTA updates?

I think not. but is there anyway to get ota afterward? Anyway to unroot and install ota then again root?

thanks

Thank you so much for your fast answer

I'll do it right now

Btw

I'm really new to Android and bought a Note 3 from eBay. Its model is SM-N9005 and it boots up with a T-Mobile splash screen - does this mean it is running something other than the Samsung stock ROM? If so, does that mean I can't root using this method?

You can root it no problem just download the correct file. Your know will be tripped too.

I may have missed something...

HEy, I have tried rooting my N900W8 a few times using CF auto root, with all the files, I get all the green lights and success line but when it reboots it gets stuck in the boot loop. I know how to pull the battery and turn it back on, no knox flags tripped and no root. but it is showing custom on binary and system lines... reactivation lock is off, however, admittedly i cannot find the usb debugging setting, which is embarrassing seeing as how all my previous phones had root and no problem finding the settings... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

N900A?

Hi guys..

I have rooted my Note 3 900T...but my nephew has the 900A for Att.. I noticed that his model is not listed on the chart.. does that mean that CF root will not work on the N900A?

EDIT..

Found the answer.. I guess the bootloader is locked huh?... well.. I guess he will have to wait or use Kingo.

That being said, still no root on my n900w8 with reac lock off and debug on. it will not root for some reason. using origial post from CF for auto root and files for my carrier and phone, it passes and goes through the works but get snagged on reboot in a loop... no knox codes, but binary and system claim custom now...

Canadian n900w8 Issue

OK. Interestingly I noticed that using the n9005 CF-Autoroot works like a charm. Maybe the op needs to delete the n900w8 file and just link it to the n9005. Not sure if this is only applicable to Bell Canadian Note 3 n900w8 but it sure is true for me!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] beirutas:
Can confirm, used N900W8 firmware on my Rogers Note 3 and phone got stuck in the bootloop.

Reflashed with n9005 and it booted up straight away.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 1SouthernCanuck:
Hey Bro, I really appreciate you help and replies to my issue. I actually used CF Auto Root for the 9005 on my N900W8 through Odin v3.09 and it slid right on through and rooted my phone. And, I have no KNOX flags (still 0x0). I do however have my system status and binary status reading custom. I've been told that can be fixed, but I'm not(honestly) really concerned bout it. I got it rooted, now I just have to piece together the APN puzzle so I can get Orbot to properly work on mobile data so I can finally run Pandora/Spotify in Canada... that's the whole reason I rooted my phone. Thanx A Bunch :good:

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

So true, a user kindly pointed me in that direction last weekend, and it works like a charm. Not sure yet for all, if someone hasn't rooted yet and uses that method with Odin v3.09 and the 9005 md5, it may actually root without tripping knox. I tried many of options prior to the method that worked, and I truly believe rooting this way from new-out-of-the-box, may avoid knox flags and custom flagged system/binary status'.

When I first tried to root via CF Auto Root with n900w8 md5 and it would claim pass and start boot loop, i didn't see and change in my binary/system status'(if I'm not mistaken). I was conscious of the Knox flag and I check after first boot loop. It wasn't until I tried a few different root methods that were suggested to me that the status' changed to custom. And it changed one at a time, they both didn't go to custom at once from any one root attempt... could a just been my phone in particular, I don't know...

Part 2 of the OP should do it, don't think part one is needed(at least it wasn't in my case).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2614772

I myself am using a Bell Canada N900W8 too, as you made a point to mention. There may be something to that...

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

I hope you got it worked out dude, thanx for the reply. After I rooted I stopped, and didn't flash CWM or TWRP. I'm going to hold off on that for a bit. Every time it boot looped, i just pulled battery and booted into download then pushed VOL down to reboot back to normal. And then would reboot again and see what flags were tripped, then reboot in recovery to check that.

I should note that after first root attempt, and i booted into recovery, i was locked out of OTA updates(I assume), my Andy android was laid out with a sad red triangle above him... He looked none - too - pleased! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] EzraGarrison:
Guys, I'm sorry if the answer is here somewhere, but I've literally spent HOURS since yesterday searching for a way to root my neighbor's N900A (AT&T) and I'm not finding any methods that work after the current 4.4.2 OTA update for that phone... Is that correct? Am I really just going to have to tell him he's SOL, or is there some kind person out there able to point me toward a method I haven't found? I tried Kingo yesterday and it wouldn't recognize his device when it was plugged into my computer, so I've spent since then trying to find another method... Any help would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me he's out of luck. My search finger is raw at this point...
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] EzraGarrison:
Never mind. Did even more research only to conclude that the 4.4.2 900A is unrootable. This sucks.

Replug the battery and the device into the computer. Hopefully it should reinstall the drivers. if not, try a second USB port.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Actually - You can use Odin to flash a custom recovery without having root - From there - you can download a pre-rooted rom - Flash it and avoid having to use CF Auto Root all together ?

But I can't find link to download ver for this device. can you give me a link.

and with odin I get cutom revery on my device and after that flash any rom?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Do you know the "name" of your device?

For example - the Canadian Note 3 is the SM-N900W8 - But it's "name" for Recovery purposes is the hltecan

If you're running the international exynos note 3 SM-N9008Q - AND it's "name" is the ha3g?

You can look here:

http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ha3g

You have to flash the img.tar file with Odin.

Again - Make SURE that this is the correct device!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] carlowise:
on the sticker in device is sm-n9000q and SSN: n9000qgsmh?

is that it?

and I supose latest recovery 2.7.0.4?

but in this case, you'll have to move to a custom ROM which is not a really a good option for note 3, Right? as you'll let down touchwiz options
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
You can flash a custom Rom that is TW based - So you retain all of the TW functions - but you lose all of the bloat - And have the freedom to add or delete what ever you want ?

Some time back I used to flash rockchip devices. We would have all the images needed. We could change the recovery image this way. I am wondering if there is a Verizon galaxy note 3 broken down into all the images. Recovery, system, kernel, boot, etc..... I am used to erasing nand, and wiping dalvik choosing the image file and flashing. Basically starting from scratch.

Lost root after stupid OTA. Now on 4.4.2

Would be nice if we could have a custom recovery so that we could gain root again.

I read elsewhere in xda about the indexer issue ...

Yes, I think you're right. I read elsewhere in xda about the 200MB limit. My SDCard has thousands of files. Although I'm sure there are a few over 200MB, I know with certainty that my old S4 TWRP backups are at least 2GB each, and I had three of them.

Anyway, I completely reformatted the SDCard using my Note 3, then deleted everything and re-copied from my laptop. Now everything seems to be fine. No error messages since then.

Well, it seems I was wrong. I did a TWRP backup and a few minutes later got the error message. I deleted the backup but I'm still getting the indexing error message every 1-2 minutes.

So, if I understand what GhorX said earlier, if I have, let's say, 53 files that are over 200MB in size, then I will get the error message 53 times, and then it will stop?
