Don't think it will work because of things like different radio files and things of that sort.

Same here...I've tried about 50 times to download it from Mega and it would start, then hang at 12% every single time. I even tried creating a Mega account and it just wouldn't download any better even by having an account. Then just now it said the file didn't exist anymore..

Go to the Sprint section, there is an even easier way to root your note 3. I have a sprint version and it work great. Go over here....

Just read the instructions and you will be fine. Make sure you grab the sprint file.

root_de_la_vega.sh

root_files (folder)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gerg004:
1st of all, great job Gears!

Pardon my ignorance, does this mean we'll get custom ROMS that we can flash through Odin? Or will we need a BL workaround and custom recovery first?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sublimaze:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

It took me a little longer than expected, but I finally got it.

It kinda goes without saying, but make sure adb can see your phone before attempting this. I haven't updated my Samsung USB drivers since April, and adb failed to see my phone. After updating to v1.5.27.0 (the latest), adb listed the device ID but it was "offline". I updated to the latest android sdk, and adb listed the phone normally. I used my old Note 2 cable and the Odin flash took a good 2 minutes, so give it time. After the first reboot, the phone seemed to hang on the Verizon bootanimation but it finally got to the setup wizard. The 2nd reboot was normal & quick.

Congratulations and thanks again, DG. The VZW Note 3 modding community is indebted to you :good:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alexv59:
Thanks Bizack. The problem with the cf auto root for sprint is that it does trip the Knox counter. You guys have it good ;) because y'all have uncovered the Holy Grail with your boot method in that it doesn't trip the knox counter whereas cf auto-root does. I don't have a concern about potentially "compromising" any warranty clause. However I have an issue with a manufacturer or carrier telling me what I can do with my $800 phone especially since it was never an issue in the past. I guess I'm gping on principle here. The fact that Verizon was able to circumvent what Samsung claimed to be such a secure enterprise solution makes me happy to no end. Congratulations to y'all and kudos to your devs on your achievement. Now that you guys have pioneered the way I think I'll hold up for a few more days to see if Chainfire can crack the other carriers. I have faith in that man. He had done AMAZING work in his time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jmorton10:
One quick note, Xposed Framework does not work well for me.

I used the XBlast tools to customize my status bar icons. It works for a while after boot, but eventually it stops me from pulling down the notifications.

Extract Root_de_la_Vega.zip

Place those 2 files onto to your internal sd card. Restart your phone. Once it's booted up delete them. Restart again. You should have root..

Knox stays 0x0...

...but when booting up, an unlocked padlock icon appears below the Samsung logo. In reading other forums, it didn't appear that there was any way around that. If nothing else, I'll be able to uninstall some bloat and use TiBU to do a backup. I've got a 64Gb SD card installed. That said, I doubt I'll load any custom roms if they become available. I like the handset the way it is. I'm glad the community was able to achieve root!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sooner2k1:
You can make that unlocked padlock go away. Just download Exposed Installer from the Op's Link, then go to the App Store and download "Wanam Xposed". Activate it via the Exposed Installer App. There is a setting in "Security Hacks" tab on the Wanam app that will allow you to "Fake System Status". This will make your phone boot into the normal logo without the padlock icon.

I'm in the process of switching my warranty from my Note 2 to the Note 3. And the minute I do that I will be rooting. Such an achievement and I'm so excited to ROOT this beast

I know rooting our devices "void" the warranty, and I know I could switch afterwards as the company would have NO clue I rooted prior to getting the coverage. It's more of a piece of mind thing for myself. Either way, great job again and can't wait to dive in.

I asked earlier but still curious. Will custom ROMs be flashable via Odin, or do we need to wait for custom recovery/a workaround on the boot loader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] FAUguy:
Now that a root method is accomplished, how long do you think it would be until there's a TWRP or CWM available?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] papaavi:
Since Knox isn't triggered, once root is achieved Knox can be disabled? If it's not disabled will my exchange work email administration policies be effected?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] stu5797:
How did you fix your soft brick? Flash the root tar through Odin?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sooner2k1:
Yikes. Do you know what setting caused the soft brick? I've applies probably 20 tweaks (mostly theme adjustments, some system adjustments) without any issues. Did you download your version of Wanam from the App store after already installing Exposed Framework?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dukins:
No. I wipe factory reset through stock recovery. Then I was back to stock root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Legato Bluesummers:
Tried downloading this and the stock odin through every browser my phone has, failing to even start usually. Assuming it's still being hit up hard in the server. Will give this a day and try again. Thanks for cracking this open. Can't wait.
