"Installation of the root-gaining app is nice and simple. After heading on over to the tool’s website on your device, simply tapping the lambda will download the required APK directly on your Android device. Install and then run it. Tap on the famous “make it ra1n” button and magic ensues. Soon after that, you’ll be rooted."

I had just updated my phone OTA to 4.4.2 NC4 and this rooted my phone in about 10 seconds.

I can confirm that my phone on 4.4.2 is rooted and Knox is not tripped. Should have waited on the OTA update but I got curious.

 

[jeffober]

Confirmed

Confirmed for me as well on a Verizon Galaxy Note 3. Initially it appeard to do nothing, and root checker showed that I did not have root. I tried doing a factory reset, wondering if something I had installed or disabled was interfering. When it booted after the reset, I had root.

The towelroot appeared to trip my Knox, and when I run the root checker it says that some things are restricted or denied access. Titanium backup says I'm rooted, but why does root checker say that some permissions or access it's restricted or denied? I posted my root checker status above.

download the latest SuperSu from the app store. the one with the yellow shield and the red pound sign in the middle. get that install and try that and update the binaries from the SU app. that might update permissions and update the binaries needed.

 

[Eddie Del]

I have that version of SuperSu, still won't update binaries. However I got Safestrap working. I'm going to try and see if I can get a Rom on today

I'm going to try the ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760380&nocache=1 for my note3 since i am NC4 and bootloader isn't unlocked. HSBADR has a JasmineROM for verizon Note 3 that works with both NC2 and NC4 and takes out all bloatware and then you can install whatever you need after that. Also supplies some zip to flash if you want other features.

Quick question. Everything seems to work fine with root and SuperSU and I generally have no problem with anything EXCEPT with SuperSU itself. It always want to update itself every time I open it. The first time I did it, it updated itself fine. But every time since then it always ask to update even though it's the current version. Anyone know why?

I'm actually going to hold off until the SafeStrap bug is fixed.
