I give in. I'm gonna root my device. Been looking for the right steps and don't know what means what. Not stupid, just cheap/chicken. Wanna learn and just don't know where to begin. Guy on YT roots in a few minutes - just doesn't show clear screen shots. You guys talk about this or that mod - I get lost in stocks, cm's, and kernels. What's a noob to do? Are there various 'roots' or just one basic? Any kits to apply? And then what - after it's rooted? What about the counter - why's that a big deal? Too many questions? Not the right ones? Help! Please! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom.

Being in your position just weeks ago I empathise - look up cursed4eva root on Google and you'll find his site. He steps you through the process of rooting clearly.

Just go to development section and look at the stickied posts. Currently, the first one tells you what to do to root your phone. It was you through very thoroughly.

Just viewed cursed4eva's root video - is it REALLY that easy? I loaded superuser, titanium backup, mobile Odin, ES fe/tm, ROM tbp - and kept em up - when I got this phone. I figured it would be helpful 'just in case' and now I'm down to like 3g outta 12g after only 104 days from activation. I've reached my 'jic' point.
Sooo... Gonna do it tomorrow morning (omg - it's like I'm 6 the NBC...)

I'm in the same boat as you are as I am a new user from Iphone to Android. Totally in love with the my SG3 and looking into rooting my phone..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802160
Is pretty helpful, I've been reading up on all the stickies as much as I could and hopefully I will be brave enough to tackle all this soon. Good luck!
EDIT: I was looking at the cursed4eva suggested by the other member on this thread and I believe the rooting methods on there is for the I9300 not the SGH-747M model. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm this?
Just down load the root tool kit in the stickies. Walks you through step by step and the file you download contains everything you need in order to root

This will probably help. Follow the instructions, I just did and it is very simple.
Download the root kit from stickies like said above. That's what I used. Simple. Actually thought it was easier then rooting my note. Def easier then when I rooted my inspire or LG nitro or all the iPhone jailbreaks

Hi I am new here and I would like to root my device to make it my own and get rid of all the apps that came with it, but I have a few questions.
1, Once I am rooted which rom is the best for my AT&T GN2?
2, Will I still be able to update my GN2?
3, What happens if I messed up during the rooting process?
4, And how often do I need to change roms?
5, Is rooting the way to go?
I am going to be dead honest here, I am a girl and some of the steps of rooting I dont quite understand, if someone can help me explain things I will be so happy.

1. Try each rom out and find out what YOU like. I personally use CleanRom 4.0.5 with no problems.
2. Why update when custom roms are better than stock roms?
3. If you mess up thats on you. But its not to hard root. I rooted and installed a custom rom before leaving the att store.
4. If you find a rom that you like you will most likely flash a new rim once its updated.
5. Yes rooting has many advantages. Ex. Wifi tethering, removing bloatware, custom roms, etc.....

I am reading how to root and can you please tell me the differences?
1,Root with Exynos Abuse Apk, is there a difference between rooting like this and the other way?
To my experience this way allows me to remove bloatware aka att apps. And also install custom roms.
Installing the exploit fix may crash camera. Just a warning

Another question, if I root it with Exynos Abuse Apk do I need to install a rom aswell? sorry to ask too many questions
No. You can be rooted using the "stock" rom you are using now out of the box. You will have the ability to delete apps using the app mentioned before.
If and when you do decide to install new roms. You will have to install a recovery. Which that exynos abuse apk does not include.
A recovery is a whole other thing.
For recovery I use twrp.

I'll be honest, this smells of a "phone won't turn on" thread in the near future. You're not ready to root your phone and go playing around in recovery. You might be ready to root once you'd studied up on exanose abuse and the rooting concept in general. But right now I would hold off if I were you. TBO the Gn2 runs so well out of the box that you're almost there anyway. Make sure you are confident that you will know how to do each step BEFORE you attempt to root, and are sure you have another web-enabled device so that you can come here for questions while your Gn2 is down.
Let's us know what you decide...

To be a bit more clear.. There indeed can be many kinds of routes, some can reset your counter, and I believe some don't. Counter is a number that changes if you root your device so T-Mobile knows you messed with it. If your counter gets reset, they can't tell if you rooted or not.
I'm not on the T-Mobile network, so I didn't really care which. Head over to the developer section of this device category and read the thread by 'Simplelife' on how to root! Pick a method best for you. I personally used option 2.

Hi guys. So my girlfriend dropped her iPhone 4s and smashed the screen to hell. Cough cough. Lol. Anyway I'm thinking I'm going to let her just have my epic touch. So I used triangle away app and also did a full stock restore. I'm wondering though could Sprint ever tell I had it rooted and had custom kernels before or should we be all set? Don't ask me why but she wants nothing to do with root. I gotta try to get you guys a pic of that phone though. It's pretty bad. Thanks.

I can honestly tell you that it is now an issue. Until we see things changed with the DCMA, it's now fair game to question all devices again, regardless of age. That's the way it's being handled.
I have sent a subject related question to our FSM's here for them to talk and discuss, while MSL obtaining talk is still OK, you have every reason to be concerned on what tech may look at. We have a few tech's in this forum who can speak better to what the directives are now on their level, but I do know that initial reps and managers have been instructed to pay more attention.
TL;DR - I know this is off topic from your op, but you're right to be concerned.

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..
