I'm at work... so I can say with confidence: that was, and will be, the nicest thing anyone has said to me today. lol
Please be careful with this thinking.
I bought a GS4 to my wife and it worked flawlessly for 45 days. After that, without any change to the phone, the wifi/bt module became defective and now I am spending half o the phone's price to replace it's motherboard because that module is soldered on the motherboard.
My recommendation is to use the phone for at least 3 months before thinking in make changes that could void the warranty.

Thank you for this amazing and super helpful answer. I'm in the same boat as you and leaning towards keeping the Note 3 -- I will miss the custom roms, but that stylus pen is amazing. I'm going to read up on SafeStrap and trying to find a rom without all the AT&T and Samsung bloatware.
Can I root my UK Vodafone Note 3 with 4.4.2
I've asked this elsewhere but no response.. Can I root my UK Vodafone Note 3 with 4.4.2 using Da La Vega or not?
I'm currently rooted using http://www.kingoapp.com/?utm_source=Android ROOT but it reports it as a custom room, although the Knox counter is still 0x0.

No you cannot. Be glad you are rooted 0x0 . There is an app official something that could maybe remove that warning.
Get exposed framwork installer, and wanam xposed to remove the Knox warnings.

Are they specific for the Note 3 or generic Apps and where can I find them (please)?
Xposed Framework is an apk that you can find here on xda.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Everything else can be downloaded from within the installer.
Good luck.

No problem, that what XDA is for
Your gonna love wanam xposed too, just for the theming of stock roms.

My attempt to root AP N9005XXUDMJ6, CP N9005XXUDMJ4 and CSC N9005VFGDMJ1 using the file searched from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ with search-string "N9005VFGDMJ1" resulted in the Knox Warranty Void-flag being set to 0x1.
Initially couldn't get Cygwin to work with URDLV.sh, but apparently you have to run URDLV.sh from the current directory (./URDLV.sh), not from a referenced path.
SuperSU attempt to disable Knox when opening the SuperSU app succeeded however, so I'm (at this moment) not getting any Knox-notifications. Also haven't seen any flash-counter symbol, probably since I used the same AP/CSC to flash with.

Hi guys, I just moved from an s3 with a custom rom to a brand new note 3 (n9005) and just getting my head around knox and if I can for now
just to be safe warranty wise, dont want to trip it just incase of possible return issues (if they arise)
Currently the phone is running 4.3 jb and build number mj6, baseband mj4.
could someone please advise the best method to getting root and if vega or kingo would work without tripping knox.
My aim for a while at least and as the phone is brand new is just to remove some bloatware and eventually load a custom rom, by that point
(in a few months) I wont mind tripping knox as the phone would have displayed any hardware issues by then.
I appreciate any advise, thanks.

This is for everybody:
Your best bet is to do nothing until you're ready to trip Knox. Even if you follow all the instructions things can still go wrong. If you're gonna root, you must accept the possibility that Knox will trip even if you do everything right. My Knox tripped with URDLV on MI6 bootloader, which wasn't supposed to trip it, but hey, sometimes things go wrong.
I'm really tired of seeing all the (same) Knox questions on the boards. Either trip it or don't. If you're worried about tripping it, then you shouldn't be doing anything.
Click thanks if I helped you

I would say that if you ever updated from the origonal release firmware, or you have a new note that was updated already then you should be fine, but if you have the updated software then no Samsung was pretty quick to patch this.

What is Universal Root de la Vega?
It is simply a script to create Root de la Vega for any device that has the necessary hooks. In its current state, it should be considered beta, the code is still very messy and may not work in some cases.
What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.

No.
Will this set a tripped KNOX flag 0x1 back to 0x0?
No.
Will root survive a factory reset?
Yes, it does.
Do I need to fully wipe my phone when rooting?
Not always, most cases it should be fine, but sometimes you get lots of forces closes, the only way to fix it is to flash your csc and let it wipe.
Can I unroot?
Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.
I am getting Force Closes after flashing, how can I fix it?
Make sure you are flashing the cache(csc) and system(ap) file!28Working on an update guys, please chillax.
Restoring the links to the current version.18
Prepare :
1/ download the MK2 firmware and save it into c:\temp - and extract it to c:\temp\MK2_stock
2/ download the URDLV script and extract it to c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
3/ Extract the file c:\temp\MK2_stock\N9005XXUDMK2_N9005OXXDMK3_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 to c:\temp\MK2_stock
4/ MOVE the file c:\temp\MK2_stock\N9005XXUDMK2_N9005OXXDMK3_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 to c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
5/ delete the files c:\temp\MK2_stock\aboot.mbn AND c:\temp\MK2_stock\cache.img.ext4
6/ Create a folder called output in the folder c:\temp\Universal-RDLV_v0.5
7/ download/save the URDLV rooting file in c:\temp\ and extract it to c:\temp\root_de_la_vega_sdcard
Follow the below steps on cygwin after doing the above :
In green is your computer name, in DarkOrange is the terminal current path ( = where you are currently located on your disk)
in Red is what you need to type
in Blue is what the URDLV script will display on your screen. There is nothing to do during this step exept waiting.
