Well as far as I know whenever you are rooted, nevermind custom recoveries or custom roms, you will not be able to complete an official update.... that's why with our locked bootloader and no custom recoveries to nandroid with I am holding off...

You should be able to run the Odin oneclickbin.exe from the Root de la vega thread to return to stock and then be able to update just fine. I rooted my phone using root de la vega, then unrooted and the status changed back to official. So that should be all it takes.

Correct, but you can't be rooted to receive an OTA... also when you use that method you completely wipe your phone.. just to be clear

The website boasts removable root anyone care to try however they claim removing the root to see if it goes back to official?

I apologize for the lack of effort on my part but I don't own this device yet... Wife is getting it for Christmas so I'm just in research mode now... Of course it'll be my luck the next roll out will be out and all will be new again by then.

Same here. The bottom of the screen by the stylus broke 2 days after getting the phone, I went to the store and 30 minutes later I had a brand new GN3.

I will be getting my N3 this week! I cant wait to finally root it! Do you guys recommend restoring all of the apps with data with titanium or just install the apps fresh and then restore the data only?

Well everyone I took the leap...I have root and Adaway is working. The method is so easy. Enable debugging, attach to computer follow the directions which consist of clicking ok on your phone program does the rest. Everything seems to be running fine, and nothing was wiped. You dont even have to enter download mode:):thumbup::p

    Confirmed and working great on my AT&T Note 3

    http://www.kingoapp.com/

    Does not trip the knox counter

    No factory reset, no wiping data.

    Easy as one click root.

    You get every answer you want except for the question you asked; so can you root 4.4.2 with Kingo Root or not? It really is a simple yes or no question that results in simple yes or no answer.

    Thanks,

    Hmm. The links to the older 1.1.18 version of Kingo are no longer up. Anyone have an alternate DL link? 1.2.0 is stalling on " Checking device for root" for me on NB4.

    Like the post above, are people not able to receive the OTA 4.4.2 update successfully because they have once rooted using the Kingo Root method?

    Taking a look in the 442 discussion thread this oddly is what everyone's talking about. Including THIS reply which seems to answer your question spot on...

    Updated to 4.4.2 successfully with rooted NB4.

    I was on NB4 rooted with Kingo 1.18. No custom recovery, just a simple root. Had SuperSU, ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup installed (that required root). Had bunch bloatware (AT&T and Sumsung apps) frozen using Titanium. I unfroze At&T Software Update, FW Upgrade, and Local FOTA. Enabled SuperSU survival mode, then proceeded with the upgrade with no issues.

    Things to note, I did loose root after 4.4.2 update. I never flashed any custom rom or leaked rom on this phone. On rooted NB4, the boot screen said Custom, now it simply show Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo. I did NOT have to uninstall root before applying 4.4.2 update.

    So you DO NOT need to uninstall kingo 1.18 NB4 root before the update, those of you with custom recovery, safestrap etc maybe running into other issues unrelated to root causing the update to fail.
