Apparently there's a lot of people out there who bought the most international version of the Note3 in China: Galaxy Note 3 (China/WCDMA) SM-N9006. With scattered information on XDA and mostly information on the Chinese forums I thought I'd write up a quick rooting guide for all of the English speaking owners of this specific variant of the Note 3 phone.
AM I ROOTED?:
Most likely no if you bought this phone from official sources. To check if your rooted use this app "Root Checker" its available on the Google Play market. If your on the stock android for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (China/WCDMA) SM-N9006 then you would need to look for some alternatives on its stock markets. After rooting your device you can use this same app to check if your rooted or not. If you follow these steps you should be rooted and have a much cooler experience with your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9006 phone.
Hello just a question, I just got this phone and by the look of it it came rooted I found this out by installing RootChecker app. here is the image of the first check if I am rooted, so can you confirm this because I am not sure if the app can check if you are rooted. Thank you all
Hi, need confirmation, I have this model SM-N9006, its real Chinese version or clone? Can root with this method? Thank you ☺
Here more detail my N9006 spec

Thanks a bunch. This is priceless information. After rooting I was trying to check my versions and SuperSU kept popping up.To check your AP and CP version Dial *#1234# (If SuperSU opens, press the back button)
looks like a clone.....N9006 has 3 GB RAM, 1080x1920 p diplay, and the processor is 2.3 GHZ quadcore with adreno GPU. I have the original one. You can link it with the kies 3, and probably it will not link. Probably the imei is not valid and the s pen has no Samsung logo, and the pen does not work with the soft keys. Do not root by this way, may brick your device. there are threads that shows the rooting the clone.....
Hello also need an answer, a solution to this problem.[/QUOTE]Hi,
My name is Daniel and I am from Malaysia.
Just 2 days ago i bought a Samsung Note 3 clone from a night market costing RM600 (US186.7).
Everything works fine, except there are some options not available from the settings, like the power saver option. And it can't add Google Account for my contacts synchronization. Does rooting solve this problems?
And i have read through the whole thread but cant find any rooting file on my phone specification. I attached herewith 'About My Device" information for your information.
Thank you.
Daniel
As you all know KingoApp is still under investigation on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47158184 but I helped my friend root this N9006 model / info below and it works brilliantly!!!!! You get to keep all your apps, no flashing needed or download mode fiddling.

Just go to the KingoApp website, pick our phone model under Samsung N9006, download the app on your windows native machine ( I used Windows 8.1), run the app as "admin" and follow its instructions, that's all, really super awesomely simple I got my friend loving his Note3 rooted and laughing at my old method
I'm not promoting KingoApp, but I double checked on his phone after rooting with it. There was no strange Apps running on the background.
Earlier reports had pointed out some strange apps running on the background and rooting error messages pertaining to access permissions after installing KingoApp. But it looks like KingoApp has been updated because my friend's phone is clean. Zero permission errors and no strange background apps running.
Knox is 0x0, warranty is safe so that's good, he has not frozen or messed with any system apps yet (at least I didn't advise him to until a solid rom comes out).
My friend is Chinese of course, so if you don't mind all the warnings I'd like to say that you can use KingoApp but......like all things, at your own risk.:laugh:
