This worked for me:
Download GhettoRoot - All-In-One from HERE
Edit GhettoRoot.bat, delete everything and paste the following:
@echo off

echo Welcome to GhettoRoot for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - 4.4.2 ND7
echo Please confirm you have turned on USB debugging and authorized your device.
taskkill /im "adb.exe" /f >nul 2>&1
echo.
echo - Press any key to continue -
echo.
pause

adb devices
echo.
echo - Press any key to continue if your device is listed above-
echo.
pause

echo The rooting process is about to begin. Please do not interrupt the process once it has started.
echo.
echo Removing old root files.
adb shell "rm -f /data/local/tmp/cube-towel; rm -rf /data/local/tmp/META-INF; rm -rf /data/local/tmp/SuperSU; rm -f /data/local/tmp/*SuperSU*.zip; rm -f /data/local/tmp/busybox; rm -f /data/local/tmp/foo"
adb shell ls -l /data/local/tmp
echo.
echo Pushing necessary files to your phone.
adb push libs/armeabi/ghettoroot /data/local/tmp/ghettoroot
adb push data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp
echo.
echo Starting root exploit.
adb push libs/armeabi/ghettoroot /data/local/tmp/ghettoroot & adb shell "cd data/local/tmp; chmod 0755 ghettoroot; ./ghettoroot %*"
echo.
taskkill /im "adb.exe" /f >nul 2>&1
echo Your phone should now be rooted. Press any key to exit.
pause
Save
Right click and run as admin.

The problem I kept running into was adb running. I added taskkill to the .bat file and also added "adb devices" so you can see if your phone is being detected. SuperSU did not load but I just downloaded it from the Play store. Good luck.

Anyway, here's my workaround that finally got me rooted:
1) Start Command Prompt
2) Run ghettoroot_v3.2 INSTALL script
3) Get your device to authorize
4) Once it does, hit Ctrl-C and terminate the batch job. You should go back to the command prompt.
5) Run GhettoRoot All-in-One. Your device will still be authorized! Everything should work.

I don't know why I had to go all this but I would assume that, once you authorize the device, you lose it when GhettoRoot closes and adb stops. But, if you run it within a command prompt so it doesn't automatically exit, the authorization obviously stays active until you close the command session.

Anyway, if you get stuck like I did, try it and see if it works for you! The All-in-One definitely worked for me.[/QUOTE]

This is what worked for me thank you finally after 2 days of trying i was finally rooted.
After step 4 i ran ghetto all in one with other cmd window open still and it went threw the process and rebooted phone. i had to download SuperSu from playstore. It asked me to update binary and to reboot phone after it was completed.

My Note 4 died the other day (prolly buying a used one soon, I love the removable battery concept) Anyhow, dug out the old reliable rooted Note 2. The thing as at 4.3, and even Pandora wont run unless you're at 5. Unfroze everything, but it still won't take an OTA to 4.4.2...I'm not sure there's any method of upgrading the Android version at this point--I might try factory reset after I get another phone
