[NC4 4.4.2 KK](towelroot) Root achieved from OTA NC4

[mrbig012]

First post, I didn't see one about this already and want to let everyone know.

geohot has made it possible to root our VZW Stock Note 3 NC4 KitKat 4.4.2 via the website www.towelroot.com/

It's the most simple root tool I have ever used hands down. Go to the site on your mobile browser, click the lambda, download and run APK right on your phone. Device will reboot and you will have root. Just did this on my note 3 last night. Only thing I think you have to check is to make sure your kernel has a date of before June 3.

That worked. Root worked. SuperSU disabled knox. Awesome.

I got the worst of all possibilities. Installed towelroot, ran it, did not get SuperSu, but on restart, it shows as "Custom" which means that Knox was tripped. What are my options now? Running latest NC4 OTA update.

Not necessarily, boot into download mode and check know there. My phones said it since day 1 when I got it and threw on a custom rom. My Knox though is still 0x0. As I said you can check that on your download screen. I used towel root on another phone with no issues as well.

I installed towelroot, then used root checker to verify, then downloaded and installed supersu, then rebooted and let supersu disable knox. I'm on NC4 latest. It worked perfectly.

No you will need to find access to to a computer to fix it. Keep it powered off or pull battery till such time you find someones pc to use.

Tried it exactly how you said. Got root, but it says SuperSu is missing the latest binary. I downloaded it and installed fiddle from the website.

But the important thing is I got titanium working so a big Thanks from me!
