I take no credit for the following:

I successfully root with towelroot @ http://towelroot.com/.

The site looked sketch but I did some research and the guy is from XDA and designed it for the s5's. But I took the chance and it works!!! Screen shoot attached.

(I know the screen shot doesn't provide 100% proof, but its the best I can do at the moment)

Good luck

This root Method doenst seem to work if your kernely is < June 2 2014. Look in the kernel build in your device settings and if its before June, then I dont think the root method will work for you.

I got a n9005 bought in italy.

Would this work?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antique_sonic:
it was built for at&t and verizon device.

but the website did said MIGHT work on other device which is < 3 jun 2014.

and it is new release, so I guess nobody try yet on N9005.

When it comes to rooting, does the ROM capacity of the phone matter?

Most Note3 are 32GB, unfortunately, mine is the dreaded 16GB Hong Kong version, so I wanna know whether it would work or will the root exploit need to be rewritten to be compatible with the 16GB version.

According to the thread, it has an option to choose not to install recovery or kernels (these will trip it) right after clicking the "flash firmware".

I think some members here have not tried this after towelroot their device and would be curious know.

Did u tried this yourself?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alexpowermetal:
In that thread they say you have to remove lines from update script. Otherwise it will flash kernel. I haven't tried it yet, cos that's my wife's phone and a don't to mess with it too much, i just rooted it to remove some bloatware. But i tried to flash my s3 with mobile odin and at the end of flashing process it gave me an error (i don't remember what it said), i rebooted and got into a bootloop, so a had to use normal recovery to flash it again. So that as far as i went with mobile odin.

Can i root with towelroot?

I'm a noob in this things and is the 1st time i will root a phone and i want to know some things.

1 Should i make a recovery of all my data before root?

2 Wich apps i should install after the root?

3 Can i revert this? And how i do that?

4 There are some problems with the warranty after i do this?

Thanks. ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zelenko:
you can root whit towelroot. Dont need backup anything, you dont have any problem whit this.

You need SuperSu, busybox after root. Titanum backup is best root app in market, must have

Waranty is clear whit towelroot, dont worry.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alexpowermetal:
I think you can use latest version from towelroot.com it should will work on your version of kernel as well.

1. Just make quick backup of your important file i.e. photos, music, etc... Just in case. At least I did.

2. It's up to you. Xposed, Wannam and other modules, Titanium Backup, Online Nandroid Backup...

3. After instaling root app go to play store and install SuperSU. In options at the bottom there will be an option to Full Unroot. That'll bring your phone in original state.

4. If you'll follow steps above with full unroot, you shouldn't have any problems with warranty.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Green Pill Zone:
SuperSU informs me that there is no SU binary installed, and that it cannot install it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Spere:
What version of SuperSU you are using? Older version which was on Play (1.94) didn't install binary to any Note. Now it's been updated to 2.0 that installs it as should on devices that TowelRoot can root. If you have that old version, it can't install binary even if your device really is rooted.

Remember to choose "normal" way of installing binary when SU asks it.

Did you try v2 of Towelroot?

If I'm right, Towelroot should root your device, at least it's not on "non supported devices" list. But my bet still is problem with SuperSU
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Green Pill Zone:
Is there a more recent version of SuperSU than what's on the Play store? I only tried (downloaded) it today.

And yeah, V2 of Towelroot. I just hit the big lambda yesterday.

4. Checked root with root checker.

5. Reboot phone

6. Install super su 2.0. From play store

7. Run it.

8. Install binarys the normal way.

9. When it asked to disable knox. Just do it

10. Done

Thanks to the dev which made this possible.

Hey guys, towelroot worked for me as well but I have a few questions about TiBu and Greenify Pro.

So far nothing has changed, my device still shows "official" as well as "knox 0"

But I'm afraid deleting a System app (by converting it into a User-App fro Greenify) is going to trip something.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] lillypad_33:
I have the exact situation as yours. I think I've read posts elsewhere that state that it is not possible to root our phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zadigre:
it's easy to root if you install a custom recovery and flash the supersu zip file...

but for me, it's not an option right now... my laptop is dead... and it's the only computer I have where I can install programs needed to root.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eddlum25:
Doing so will trip knox
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lillypad_33:
I thought that you could only install the custom recovery once you have root?

I've played around with 3 other phones so far ( Galaxy Nexus, LG Nexus 4 and the LG P500 ).... All of them seemed very straightforward.

I'm at a loss as where to start with the Note 3. I believe that people are referring to the model of my note 3 SM-N900W8 as having an Exynos processor, but when I open up CPU-Z it says snapdragon 800.

So If I'm understanding right. I can flash a custom recovery using ODIN from the computer. ( Forgetting about KNOX crap )
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zadigre:
yes, if you don't care to mess up the knox flag, you can flash the custom recovery and root with flashing the supersu zip file.

We can do this on our phone model because the bootloader is unlocked by default.

It's not necessary. Flashing an official rom will not trip knox, and you'll get your phone unrooted.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zadigre:
interesting to see that it works on yours... but not on Canadian version for the SM-N900W8...

there's probably some slight difference in the firmware/kernel that prevent Towelroot from working.

Guys just wondering if we are to get a security update pushed to the device would this make any difference if we have root and is there a possibility of this tripping knox as well

Not a firmware update
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Yom:
Sorry to hear it is not working for you. I was afraid I'd have to finally pop my N3's Knox cherry when updating to 4.4.2, but it worked fine.

Here's what I did:

Flashed KK over 4.3 via Odin, which oddly preserved all my data. Once booted into KK, installed the tr apk v2, and rebooted manually. After the reboot, installed SuperSU from the Play Store, it installed its binary and it all worked.

Did you try to install SuperSU from the store after the reboot? BTW, tr V2 should not reboot your phone, so I'd recommend redownloading from the tr site... maybe there's a fix now...

hope this helps!

How do I check if there's any other firmware released? Yes I'm a bit noob.. information overload.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
If yours is a 32GB version, then you could most likely flash another countries firmware on it (You may need to get a second opinion on this). HK's official 16GB version always has the latest firmware (and seems like it's the first place to ever get the latest firmware before other regions) however you won't be able to flash it because of the different partition sizes.
