There are several ways. Easiest for me is flash philz recovery tar through Odin, root using recovery, reboot and download SuperSU in play store. Easy peezy.

there's also towelroot if you don't want a custom recovery but you will still need to download SuperSu and Busybox from the play store

Hello, I have a tmobile galaxy note 3 and updated from 4.3 to 4.2.2. I was rooted on 4.3 but now I can't seem to get rooted on 4.2.2. What I did was I downloaded
SM-N9005 CF-Auto root and extracted that. Downloaded Odin 3.09 and of course drivers. When I set up everything in Odin and put my phone in download mode everything worked fine. When my phone restarted after the root was finished successfully I had root checker installed and it said I had no root. Is there something I missed or left out?

Thanks for the reply! Do I need to have the recovery downloaded first?

You have to use stock recovery for official ota. You could just flash an already done 4.4 ROM. You could use ODIN and install the stock 4.4 located in the Android Development section...then use CF auto root to get root back. There are different options available to try.

Hi, i recently won this tablet yesterday and wanted to root it. Have tried pretty much every non computer needed root app out there and none work. Even tried with odin, and i successfully installed twrp....but have no root which i didn't even think was possible lol. But every method for root i see is a few months old before the tab was updated to 4.4.2. So, is there even a root yet for KK? Because I've definitely looked...and if so, please point me in the right direction....thanks! ??
If you have twrp on it, then just flash the supersu zip from chainfire and you'll be rooted.

Does the unroot function in the Super SU paid version work?
Unrooting from the 4.4 kit kat stock rom. Im running stock recovery also.
Has nobody used the Full Unroot feature of SuperSU with kitkat and the note 4?

Made an account just to reply to this. I was in the same boat, and tried that. Phone rebooted but couldn't take OTA. When it restarted after failed OTA install, went into bootloop. Had to reflash stock through ODIN and problem solved. Sorry man.
So Im running stock recovery and stock rooted 4.4. So that means I either wait for lollipop on Kies or Odin back to stock then take the OTA.

Not sure about this but Odin to stock and taking update will keep all your data if that is what you are worried about. Only issue is you might not be as smooth keeping your settings. I had some fc's and lag. So I reset to factory and restored apps and there was a huge speed and smoothness increase.
Im planning on reseting, trying to maintain setup on a major update always causes lag.
