[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] quantumtransfer:
Mods, Could we sticky this and i'll keep it updated. I was also compiling a list of roms and recoveries to be a one stop shop thing.

First off, HUGE thanks to these guys [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] & [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], without them.. This would be an empty post.. Any thanks, or donations please respectfully give to them. I am relaying information found in the various sections of the forums.

There is a safe way, without tripping your KNOX counter.. and another way that DOES trip the counter. A few things first.

I have used the safe root way and I am on Sprint. I also used an app to change my system setting from custom to official. This is important so that Sprint reps wont know you are rooted or modified your system. It is also preferred that you use an after market launcher to hide such apps if you need to go in to the sprint store about anything. Keep in mind, that if you do have software issues, Sprint may ask to update your phone to the latest version and download the OTA. This will break root and keep system status official(I think, I've read that some people's status has shown Custom after the OTA), so all your root apps will stop working. If all else fails, just follow the directions to re root and make your device official again.

Xposed Installer APK <- Needed to use Wanam Xposed

Direct download link http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk

Xposed Modules required: Wanam Xposed 2.2.0

The Wanam Xposed from the Google Play store does work with the Galaxy Note 3

After installation of the Xposed Installer (requires root), you have to activate it by going to "Framework" and press " Install/Update" - You have to reboot for settings to take effect.

After your reboot you can go through modules in Xposed Installed app and find Wanam Xposed and download it or you can download it from the link above.

Finally make sure the module is enable and it will ask for root, after scroll down to Security Hacks/ System "Fake system status" - make sure it is checked. You will be prompted to reboot. Please do so.

Verifying system is official

In phone menu go to Settings/General/About Device/Status. Scroll down to the bottom and it should say "Official". Without using this method above the system will say "Custom".

SAFE ROOT

Root de la Vega [KNOX 0x0 Root - Lots of Versions - No Exynos]: (Find the Sprint version)

DO NOTE TAKE OTA UPDATES OR UPDATE WITH STOCK ODIN FILES THAT CONTAIN BOOTLOADER UPDATES!!

Warning: This will wipe your data and internal sdcard, this will show custom system status. I cannot be held responsible for anything you do to your phone, rooting is optional, I am not forcing you to do it.

Root de la Vega

HOW TO: A video with above method.

Some last bits of important information. For the safe root method, you can still trigger knox counters if you do the following:

-Installing custom recoveries and roms

-Not following instructions

-Improperly flashing the stock rom

KNOX VOID ROOT

CF-Auto-Root

This guy also started a How To thread on rooting the Galaxy Note 3 with the CF-Auto-Root method. His How - To videos may give you that edge you need for this method.

Check his thread out here:

Now that you are down rooting, perhaps you would like the latest recovery options?
