Did you install the Supersu from Chainfire website? the website one is the most current and it should work, though the unistall of knox took long time, i waited for 5 minutes and while it's still running the unistall I rebooted and everything is fine now.

BEST POST EVER.

One of my kids pushed the OTA through when I had rebooted into stock and let her use my phone for a day. Two weeks of Hell, but I knew someone would find the way through this darkness!!

GREAT job! Thank you!!!

This works perfectly, just follow the instructions to the letter!

Too much following of directions

I towelrooted this morning, installed SU (chainfire's) - got the same error "cannot parse package" - however it worked even though when I went in SU it said the binary was wrong and updating it would fail (play store version). Tried to do the CWM method since i got frustrated at the SU error - and the CWM soft bricked the phone. Now im going to odin it back to stock - when the download is done in 2 hours... Oh well all is fair in device freedom and rooting : )

Proud Note 3 owner of ~96 hours so far : )

P.S. Geohot is amazing.

Also, of note - titanium backed up the phone prior to the soft bricking - titanium on NC4 still suffers the cannot write to external SD issue.. FYI - if you think your schedules will run - might want to double check.

NC4 Stock Rooted!

Just found the Towelroot information off the internet and decided to apply on my stock NC4 rom.

It worked fine without any issues!
Installed the APK file and ran it. After the reboot, I installed SuperSu too. Now I'm able to install and invoke all APKs requiring root access!

It seems like there's none yet mentioned about the Knox void count. I checked the Knox void count and it's still 0!

Thanks to Geohot for this great rooting apk!

Still no "perfect" love on SU

It did the busybox and twrp just fine - but still get the binary update message / close on SuperSU

After the data wipe / redownload of UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip .. same result.

it works, and prompts - just cannot enter the application. Guess its just wait until further version.

Thanks for the guide - worked perfectly (steps wise) - now to tip Geohot and go to bed.

I have successfully rooted and installed safestrap on my stock nc4 note 3 however when I try to install jellybeans build 6 into romslot 1 and boot to it, the phone never shows a boot screen after the safestrap screen. I get a blue led and nothing else.

Any ideas? Maybe 4.3 isn't compatible with the new modem?

New safe strap didn't let you use anything but the stock slot. So you can only use that for now. Can't flash roms into slots 1-4
