[Guide] How to root and install custom rom in Note3 ( SM-N900T)

Hello XDA Members,
First of all I like to say sorry if this post is in wrong section. The purpose behind is to help people who have official kitkat update and can't root and install custom roms. This can also help people to eliminate those boot looping error and everything, I will consider this thread for the newbie.
Lets Start
1) Download Stock Rom just in case, if something goes wrong. Stock Rom
2) Install CF Auto Root
3) Install CWM to install CWM use odin3 v3.09. You install this just the method you used for rooting.
4) After rooting and installing recoveries download the rom and put it under download (internal memory not sd card), Since we have kitkat version please download the kitkat version rom and try to avoid MI7.
5) After downloading Kitkat version rom. Put it on Recovery Method ( home + pwr off button + volume plus button )
6) Wipe cache and davik Cache and install rom from the sdcard/download (internal memory).
Conns-: You cannot install rom from sd card, if you will try it will give you error. If someone know how to fix it do mention in this thread thank you.

*sigh* guess ill have to get used to it.

What do you mean you can't install a ROM from the SD card?? That's how I always do it and I've never had any problems

I had some trouble getting to 4.4.2 from 4.3, couldn't get recovery to flash. Few things I noticed:
First get stock with Odin
Goomanager tries to install 4.3 twrp
Download the correct twrp yourself, flash with recovery flasher from play
Reboot into recovery and flash jedi

Yes this method will trip the knox . However do have a look at this thread Click Here

i've looked at that thread but as I understand it only works for Android 4.3. can anyone confirm the root de la Vega method working on the SM-N900T with Android 4.4.2 without tripping the Knox flag? I'm running build NB4.

de la vega could maintain the knox on 0x0

As far as it goes I think after rooting it with CFroot you should update the SuperSU from the Playstore.

Hello, I was trying to update my note 2 with DN3 kitkat rom today.. But didn't work! :/
I rooted the phone. I got correct root access.
Then followed the instruction to flash the ROM.
After reboot, I could hear the welcome sound(new) and saw the samsung animated logo..then it stuck there. I waited for some 15mins, but nothing happened, only the animated samsung logo.
I saw an issue in TWRP.. saying there was a problem with permission. I don't know what was it. I tried to fix permission, but it failed.
After nothing worked, now I am in the process of recovery from kies.
Perhaps I didn't have the right step by step guide; from rooting the phone to flashing it. :/
If someone could please help, would be great!.. I really want to flash my phone for the DN3 custom rom.
Thanks.

Why do you need to root when flashing custom rom? It is already prerooted. You only need recovery.

As per rooting instruction, it is mentioned that the device must be rooted before flashing a custom rom from stock rom.
While installing the recovery the device is rooted or another way that I tried was to root by CFroot first, which was successfully done then I got the super user access to install a recovery like TWRP,,

Done.

Q Where are the newest instructions for rooting?

I can't find it. The ones I found seem to be for older versions and not for kitkat. I want to root since I can't save stuff to my SD card and that makes my SD card useless...
Maybe I am stupid?

THanks, I'm kind of confused.
Do I follow the root instructions on the 2nd page with the link first? Then what does the 2nd cf Root mean?
Do I need to flash? And what are the links on the first post (updates?) How would I install. I am very new to tech.

There is no root for p605 that I found working. Don't try, you will get bootloops.
In case you have P600:
1. autoroot.chainfire.eu. Find your device.
2. Flash (AP in Odin 3.09). Don't remember what they are in 3.07.
3. Start SuperSU and check if root works.
If it doesn't work, I don't remember the exact way to root, I just flash and see how the device reacts, depending on that, I do different actions.

Install TWRP 2.7.0.1, and then flash the installable zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 .
Last time I tried CF Autoroot on kitkat, ODIN failed to flash at download mode and the tablet stuck at the boot screen. Need to flash back the stock ROM.

There is no KK cf-autoroot for the P605. You need to use the cf-autoroot for the P905, then as this breaks the s pen you need to type into phone *#2663# and update the wacom drivers.
Then you flash either the stock P605 recovery or TWRP 2.7.0.1 onto your tablet.
You now have rooted KK...
Updated - it has been found you just need to flash TWRP, let it root then fl;ash supersu1.99r3.zip through TWRP to root your P605, no need to use P905 cf-autoroot...
And yes, this will trigger Knox...

And no matter what method you use, it trips the Knox counter, correct?

Custom recovery trips Knox.

Does triangle away reset that counter though? I read that somewhere but maybe I misunderstood.

There used to be a different kind of counter that was similar to Knox. Triangle away could reset that counter. The Knox counter once tripped, cannot be undone.

[Q] Note 2 not rooted via cf autoroot

Hello,
I've tried to root my Galaxy Note 2 GT N7100 (KitKat 4.4.2) [original, NO custom ROM or CWM]
with
CF-Auto-Root-t03g-gtn7100.tar.md5
via ODIN
as shown in several tutorials.
All seemed passed ok, nothing obviously went wrong, SuperSU appears in the app drawer.
BUT
If started, SU has been be stopped, Root Checker says, the system is very slow and the phone is NOT rooted (properly).
Updating SU via PlayStore is NOT possible, only to deactivate.
Counter is on 1, Triangle away and other system apps don't work, because the phone isn't really rooted
Wipe data also is changing nothing.
So I've now a NON-rooted phone with the counter on 1, updates via OTA were denied, by reasons seen above.
What can I do? Could 'GalaxyNote2Root' be an option?
THX!
KitKat 44.2
BasisBand: N7100XXXUFND3
Kernel: 3.031-1552758
Build: KOT49H.N7100XXUFNE1

Try to flash CWM via Odin

Ohh, THX for you fast reply!
Does
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.1-t03g.img
match?
Or alternative: cwm6-root-note2, but this is old (2008)

I tried rooting my N7105 LTE last night and think I am having the same problem mate, hopefully someone can help!

Most important question: Why do you want to root your device?
If you want to run custom roms, forget about root cause you only need a custom recovery (best the recommended one for the rom) flashed with Odin.
Then you can flash any rom you want through this recovery and most of them are pre-rooted, so :good:
Only if you want to be rooted with stock rom I will try to guide you.

Only to prevent KNOX to deny access to the external card and run some apps, which need SU-rights, e.g. Titanium- / efs- Backup and so one.
At last to make TC working again. This app makes the phone freezing (superSU cannot start and hangs).
Thanks for yor reply.

One way to do it:
Flash custom recovery through Odin and afterwards latest SuperSu.
After bootup the app will deactivate Knox.
EDIT: I have not tested, cause I make my own rooted base-roms, so I hope it will work for you.
I can provide you such a base

Possible Rooting Tab S with TWRP?

I was wondering if you can root with TWRP by installing the recovery with odin and then flashing the supersu.zip to get root with twrp? Wouldnt that be the same as using cfautoroot as it installs a custom recovery to gain root. This could be an alternative if cfautoroot fails for some. I saw in the thread that twrp also works on the 805 and the 705 models of the tab s. Will TWRP also work on devices with unlocked bootloaders such as the 807 or somesort models? I was wondering this to see if people can get root on those lte models since theres no cfautoroot for them and use twrp to flash supersu and gain root. As this is an suggestion can someone help answer these questions? Thanks!

I haven't tried to root this tablet via TWRP but my last couple attempts at rooting Android 4.2+ devices via TWRP have been unsuccessful - I think it's a SELinux thing. Perhaps flashing a permissive kernel first might work?

I was thinking that if cfautoroot flashes root and installs supersu, shouldnt it be the same as flashing it with twrp? Cause the supersu. Zip is an autoinstaller in which i just flashed onto cm11 today. I thought if you have access to the recovery, it can change files and flash the root.

I do not know if it would work with the 807, but this method certainly works with the 805: that's how I rooted mine.
Flashed TWRP with odin then rebooted in recovery and flashed latest supersu update.
Obviously flashing TWRP trips Knox too...
