Some people use a Windows based app called kingoroot or king root...but there's an article on xda explaining the concerns with using it (I'll let you Google that if you're curious). So I went ahead and googled "how to root Sprint 4.3" and came up with this article:
http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-sprint-sph.html?m=1
Had no issues...and was rooted in a matter of minutes.
Just to cover my ass, this is not mine, I did not create this root method, credit goes to chainfire, and I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Any root method will trip Knox (if it's installed) That's why you have to root, and remove the Knox files then flash the MK4 ROM so you're still on the MC2 bootloader (no KNOX), but will have the MK4 update.
Better instructions can be found in the Development section...just search for Lorjay's thread. He has it all written out...
The way I did it I downloaded the cm installer I install cm and then I reinstall a custom rom cynergyrom

I just got a note 2 and I would like to know what's the best way to root my device without any problems?
If you just got it then I'm going to assume you don't have any important data!
Flash a stock rom with root injected! It's literally a stock touchwiz 4.1.2 rom with superSU. It always doesn't mess up your counter and you can get official OTAs from T-mobile.
The link is here.
What ungraph said. I ran mrRobinson's injected rom for about 7 months before I ended up on tweaked. It works pretty well.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Thanks, silly question. My service provider is Metro PCS even though this is a tmobile phone, will that have any interference with the root?
So no one used Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V4.1.0 to root their android? I used this to root my S3.

Be sure to read all step and choose the good option for your phone. I choose recommend options except for the recovery I choose the cwm instead of twrp.

KINGO Android Root
I just found an app that supposedly will ROOT any Android phone. It is called KINGO Android Root.
FYI - Just completed my Root and it took ~ 3 minutes. I know it is rooted since I can now use Titanium Backup Pro.
Ok so with a fair bit of browsing and searching i came across this website HERE
i just want to know if this will root my 4.3 android device which was upgraded OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via Telus
and is it a clean root. basicly keeping stock os and adding the root availability to it. and then allow me to add other software i need.
It should. Chainfire's root tars are generally super solid.
Well I gave it a try but now I have issues with the KNOX blocking the root and of course KNOX doesn't work any ideas how to do that and get rid of knox

Unfortunately I have no experience with KNOX at all. I've read that, if you're rooted, you can remove Knox with Titanium Backup but that puts you back to step 1 of getting root. Chainfire's page says that rooting with his method will trip KNOX but it doesn't mention anything about blocking it. Here's the page for your device. He might have some updated info there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
Hmm ya well for some reason my knox says superSU is trying to access a restricted area of the device and is being blocked so it didn't trip my knox. And as for trying to install knox it won't work not that I want it. I even used Kies to factory restore it. No superSU anymore but does show in my updates to update it

Just go to the play store and update super user. Once this is done open the app it will say update, say yes normal and it will now disable Knox and super user will work.

You initially did it running the CF-Auto-Root. Running SuperSu just put the icing on the cake.
I have heavily modified the MotoChopper exploit by XDA member drjbliss to handle the new changes to file permissions in JellyBean 4.3+. Because this tool is based on MotoChopper it will likely support the same device list that MotoChopper supports however i have only tested it on the T-mobile T999 & T999L and the i337 .
If you would like to test it on other devices it should be fairly safe to try as it should either work or fail, of course testing anything like this is always at your own risk and i am not liable for any damage to your device, self esteem and so on. If you do test it on your device, please report your results here so that I can try to fine tune it if need be.
For this current version you will have to have TWRP installed on your device.
if it works for you don't forget to hit the thanks button! enjoy.
all instructions on how to use are inside the tool. this is for windows users only.

So sorry I need to edit the main post, I have been working on so many different projects, we did not test it on the M919 it was actually tested on the i337. If you are talking about the flash counter though this will not trip the flash counter, however flashing twrp will trip the binary status, and possibly the Knox counter, I need someone to test it, but I can't tell you how to correct it if it does trip it.
i guess what i should say is that while i have not had a confirmed success of fail on the m919 i have provided the tool to a few who have not been kind enough to report its status

The funny thing is when they switch to that tizen bs they are probably going to require the phones to root in order to switch like Ubuntu for the phones.

I will put it this way, since I did not take into account Knox being an issue , I will say that yes it will probably trip the Knox counter, but we won't know for sure until someone is willing to try it.

No it will not erase the data on your phone.
The step by step instructions are inside the tool, if you need instructions on how to flash TWRP to your device via Odin you can find them in the forums. I would include them but it is really outside of the scope of the tool, while the tool requires TWRP to work TWRP is not related in any way to the tool, the tool is simply TWRP dependent.
It has worked on the i337 already, whether or not it works on mk2 has yet to be determined, however the tool is designed in such a way it will either work or fail, if it fails it will not harm your device.

Just remember... that if you root without triggering the Knox flag...
Can I flash custom recovery/kernel/rom without tripping KNOX flags?
No, Flashing a custom ROM will trip the flag
No, Flashing a custom Kernel will trip the flag
No, Flashing a custom Recovery will trip the flag
If the knox flag doesn't mean anything to you then you can do just about anything you want to do.... except reset the Knox flag that is.
I don't really care about the Knox flag thinking about rooting. It today with auto root

Hey bricking a phone made me the happiest guy in the world lol.
NOTE 3
Man, can someone give me the safest step by step instructions that are SAFE. I'm reading around ALOT of people complaining note 3 is a hassle, lots of bricks phone not turning on. Lost of data just naming a few. What is the best most safest obsolete way? That I will not mess up by phone. I read and follow carefully but seems it just happens to the unfortunate?
Note tres
Hell yeah its worth it. Ive rooted 2 note 3's. Flash the cf file and whatever recovery you want to use. I prefer twrp on this phone. Takes 10 minutes tops to do both and the phone and process is idiot proof.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I don't know how much longer I can take not rooting my phone. I have ads all over the place, can't delete bloat, can't try different roms. I wanted to hold off for at least 30 days, but I don't know. I'm so use to being in control.
Ok, I'm rooted! But tried to install twrp via goo and nothing read that trwp manager app from app store will install the recovery but I open it and all it is, IS the recovery where is the option to install and stuff. Installing a rom while phone is on is imposible idk how people saying it works? If odin is the way. Then which file do I download? Notice the first one is a .tar file. But the newest one is img and .tar so? Also do I click on PDA to install recovery?

I don't think they'll check that deep into the phones to see if the knox is tripped. My Note 3 is rooted using the "root de la vega method"
This method doesn't trip the knox and I have also flashed it back to stock and reflash the steps just to verify knox status and it's still intact..until I can find a ROM that can quench my flash addiction. . . this is my safe bet . . . in 6months i'll JUMP if a better phablet comes to T-MO. . . .

Hi, guys. I wanted to write a post, but since i'm a new member, i'm writing a thread here instead. The thread i wanted to reply is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
I wanted to let somebody know (because it helps some folks) that i used CF-auto-root, and i have successfully rooted my phone.
More details that may be helpful or useful are following:
*Everything was fine until 4.2.2 (JB); then, my stupidity kicked in, and MANUALLY upgraded OTA to 4.3;
*I noticed this CF-auto-root, tried it, perfectly rooted my phone. And YES, i tripped the Knox warranty...
*At some point, i unrooted my 4.3 (JB) so that i can manually upgrade to KitKat when it's released;
*Successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (KK) OTA on Mar 10;
*I couldn't find any info about "safe root" for 4.4.2, so i chose CF-auto-root instead (i tripped the flag, so i didn't care);
*I took the same steps for rooting 4.3 and it "worked". Initially verified with Root Checker Basic;
*However, SuperSU seemed to be "missing", and i DL from the store, and it opened fine (I didn't know SuperSU can be DL from the store)
This is my story, and i'm sticking to it
cf auto root work fine on my m919 4.4.2
It doesn't show up anymore in the app drawer. I don't have supersu in my app drawer, either. And, I'm definitely rooted. Sounds like you are, too.
