[HOW TO] Root the Galaxy Note 3

[jconway1968]

It says no recoveries found for my device when I try to install the custom recovery

I installed TWRP 2.6.3.7 using Odin 3.09 and successfully created a backup but any other zip file or rom I try to load results in a "Failed"
Stating Zip signature verification failed. If I uncheck zip file signature verification then I get a stuck screen at the Sprint Logo. Any help???

I also posted this in the Original Dev TWRP forum. Sorry for the cross-posting...

while still in recovery try rebooting recovery and try to re-flash.

I don't think CF-auto root works with MJ4.

Edit - After looking at past replies, I guess I may be wrong about this.

Hi, Rooted my note 3 just fine. Installed Goo Manager and selected the menu button and hit the install OpenRecovery selection. I hit yes and waited the 10 seconds and then it goes to a screen that says "500 Internal Server Error"........is the site down? Is there another proved way to install TWRP 2.6.3.7????

I've rooted MJ4 via kingo without tripping Knox. Then I've disabled Knox via add away(I think i did). Will installing custom recovery still trip knox? What about custom ROM?

Yes, custom recovery will trip Knox.

GooManager problem/server problem?

I'm trying to install TWRP. I get the 10 second countdown for downloading the file inside of GooManager, and then "Your download is now starting...." but nothing ever downloads?

Is there an alternate method for installing TWRP?

Thx

Go to TWRP website, http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 Click upper right, "Get TWRP for your device". A window will pop up-- Click "View all supported devices". Find your device, and download the latest .img file.

Go to the Play Store, and install "Flashify (for root users)". Open Flashify, grant root access, and select "Recovery Image". Navigate to the TWRP .img you downloaded, earlier, and flash.

Okay, so I flashed a Custom Recovery so I could then follow the instructions for free Hotspot.
I followed the instructions exactly as described here:
"Free hotspot on the Note 3:

However, my phone hangs at the Sprint boot logo screen and won't go past it. I figure it isn't supposed to do that for 1/2 an hour, right?
Has anyone else experienced problems with this solution?

Thanks

Edit: Never mind, I figured out it is because this fix is for another software version. I am on MJ4.
Has anyone found a working solution for MJ4?

Reflash the mj4 stock file, should fix your problem.
