Not working 4.4.2 / first time root

I tried rooting following starnostar instructions and it didn't work. The binaries that SuperSU need wouldn't download after the towelroot initial reboot. Tried installing SuperSU (entire directory in file provided) from the phone/SD card with the same result. Did an uninstall of everything a few times. Reboot -> install tr -> reboot -> install SuperSU provided from phone/SD card (either) -> run SuperSU or reboot and run SuperSU. Tried with other super user apps (ChainsDD and ClockworkMod). Same result.

The only things I can think to do are disable Lookout, factory restart the phone or start then stop KNOX (I disabled it a little while back). Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Awesome news!!! Being new to rooting in general I'll wait until I see a bit more feedback, but very excited there is a new Knox friendly root available. Thanks for posting!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] starnostar:
How did you disable knox without root? if you rooted in the past, maybe residual files left over are causing issues. If this is the case (that you had rooted in the past), maybe a fresh "never-rooted" odin flash is in order.

Another possibility is I used root checker to verify root before installing supersu (i never opened the app, just accepted the prompt), maybe a root prompt must be triggered and granted to complete the process.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gitofgits:
Yeah, I was thinking that I needed a prompt too. I've never attempted root with this phone.

As to KNOX, I just turned it off/disabled it after I did a reset as I did with a handful of things. I was one of the unfortunate few who had to reset after the 4.4.2 upgrade. I did reinstall KNOX, but there was no change. reboot -> install tr - make it ra1n -> reboot -> check - no root access -> install SU - no SU binary to install. Or little variations on that. I'll just wait around a few weeks to see if anyone figures out a solution or factory reset and try again.

Bummer too, I was really looking forward to getting Call Master back. :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bigjohn49:
On ne6. Rooted fine and knox 0x0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zemaj800:
Worked for me, Almost forgot the step to (download the zip from chainfires website, and extract SuperSU.apk from common) got errors updating the SuperSU files but its working now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shijocj:
Help!! Getting error on SuperSU

On Note 3 Tmobile NB4, never rooted, installed Towelroot, rebooted, and installed superSU, when tried to load Super User I get this message,

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

Please help!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stpinc:
I initially tried on NB4 but had the same issue, updated to NE6 with Samsung's Kies app and then tried again and it worked fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gitofgits:
I was on NB4 and getting Kies and updating the firmware fixed it for me. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AviatorBimmer:
Wow, finally a working root solution for our Note 3!

Kies is installed and as soon as I charge my phone, I will update to NE6 and give this a shot!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] unholybacon:
Anyone successfully install safestrap after using Towelroot? I tried 3.72. It states it installs successfully...but I can't boot into recovery. :/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GrainOsand:
try powering off then booting into download mode. then from download menu select cancel.

I don't know why this worked for me, but it did.

Wqq
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neopolotin75:
Do you still have root? I believe safe strap also needs busy box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GrainOsand:
I thought safestrap.apn installs busybox.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] unholybacon:
You're correct.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I myself just used towel root ..successfully.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Can someone explain why this is important we already have root. Other than making it easier to root without a custom kernel what have we gained? Sorry I want to be excited like everyone us. Please be kind
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
People that took the Official OTA , had lost root. So this huge for a number of people. [emoji106]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmacdonald19:
I was stuck on NC4 and had lost root. It's good to get it back so I can do things again like Tasker, Titanium Backup and Ad-away. Not show stoppers but definitely conveniences I had missed a lot.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

And yes, I can confirm that Towelroot worked successfully for a Note 3 running stock NC4 firmware and ROM. Easiest root ever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cdmoore74:
I can't believe how easy and fast it was. I lost root yesterday when I soft bricked my phone. That silly Chinese root crap had popped up a bunch of unreadable prompts and in haste I accepted the official NC4 ota when I went back to MJE.

Well worth the donation once I get to a computer. So freaking easy I did not need a computer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SirBindy:
Removing all the bull**** bloatware, customizing your phone both aesthetically and functionally, using stuff like Xposed, custom roms built for speed/lean-ness, etc

The list goes on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] reaverclan:
so i was stupid and isstalled clockwork after doing towel since i thought out bootloader was unlocked and now i have the bring to verizion store thing. so im downloading the ota for odin and im going to flash it, my question is once i do it can i then install towel, busybox, then safestrap and be okay?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neopolotin75:
I could be wrong but according to Hash instructions if the rom doesn't have busy box it says to install busy box so if it's a stock rom you'd need to install busy box then safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Gawd that font gives me a headache. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Dc4479:
Anyone know if this trips the Knox counter?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hulk0069:
They say no.it doesn't and you can now remove knox
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] outlaw420:
No it does not trip knox. I am rooted on a stock rom
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Dc4479:
Awesome! Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
It doesn't trip Knox but it does show an unlocked padlock with the word "Custom" on the boot screen. I would think that would raise eyebrows at the Verizon store.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] outlaw420:
If you update the su binary that unlock and custom go away as did on mine
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
Outlaw, thanks for the tip. How do I go about updating the SU binary?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] outlaw420:
When you run the supersu it said need to update binary and I let it do itself and it ran fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
Ok, I found SuperSU on the play store and installed it. When I ran it it said that the binary needs to be updated. So, I said yes. Then, it said Knox could be turned off so I accepted. Unfortunately, it eventually says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again." I've rebooted and tried a half dozen times but can't seem to get the binary to update. I still have the "Custom" icon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Norwester:
You need to go to chainfire's site (don't have the url) and download the latest version of SU. It'll update with that one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
Thanks for the reply. I went to http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU and downloaded the ZIP file. Inside was the SuperSU APK which I installed. I get the same "Installation failed" message.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] syntheticexctasy:
I am having the same issue, both downloading the new APK and trying to update from within the app. even more frustrating is that supersu does not let you access the app itself if supersu needs updating.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
Bump.

If you get the OTA and then root with Towelroot; what benefit is there to installing SuperSU?

It doesn't work with MLG I am sure it's a minor fix but probably not worth it for the few dozen phones running that kitkat.

Downgrade to mj5 without root then either use kingo and stay on jellybean or allow the ota and root kitkat with towelroot.

Is it possible to un-do this root so there is no trace?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] interkin3tic:
How long until they unfix it?

I've been thinking of buying a note 3, but the no root was a dealbreaker. Can anyone guess as to how long it will be until AT&T and/or samsung will prevent this from working?

In other words, should I rush out and buy it now, or could I mull it over for a few weeks AKA convince the significant other I need a new phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Buy one ASAP.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
He's right whatever the next update is should break root for the note 3. It was a vulnerability that is patched in newer kernels
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Eddie Del:
If you root using towelroot, then download SuperSu, then titanium back up, then safestrap v3.72, and then use root checker to check - it will say you are rooted. Although the safestrap won't let you flash ROM yet, the awesome developers are working diligently to get it done. It won't trip Knox unless you download a custom Rom app/manager; that will trip Knox as it did to me :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] earhog:
I have flashed the rom and my knox says 0x0 as have plenty of others.. not sure what you're doing wrong... have you installed busybox?

Forgot to mention download busybox. If you OTA NC4 or bought stock KK NC4, as far as I know SafeStrap won't flash ROM until updated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Djspinister:
Can you be a bit more specific? I have his exact same issue, and same version of note 3, it does not work for me, I thought 4.4.2 was kitkat? and if we need to update how do we do that? I try to update through ATT but it says there isnt one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] interkin3tic:
How often are updates put out? Do you think I'm safe ordering it online (for $100 less?)
