ROOT on 4.4.2

[colbur87]

I take no credit for the following:

I successfully root with towelroot @ http://towelroot.com/.
The site looked sketch but I did some research and the guy is from XDA and designed it for the s5's. But I took the chance and it works!!! Screen shoot attached.

(I know the screen shot doesn't provide 100% proof, but its the best I can do at the moment)

Good luck

This root Method doenst seem to work if your kernely is < June 2 2014. Look in the kernel build in your device settings and if its before June, then I dont think the root method will work for you.

it was built for at&t and verizon device.
but the website did said MIGHT work on other device which is < 3 jun 2014.
and it is new release, so I guess nobody try yet on N9005.

Just rooted my SM-N9005 (kernel version: 3.4.0-1168347) successfully using TowelRoot.

KNOX-status: 0x0 and device-status: official.

Just rooted my Note 3 is 4.4.2 with stock ND3 firmware using towelroot by @geohot. And it didn't trip KNOX.

Very excited to hear this... Will wait a little longer for proof it works as am running N9005DXUENE4

When it comes to rooting, does the ROM capacity of the phone matter?

Most Note3 are 32GB, unfortunately, mine is the dreaded 16GB Hong Kong version, so I wanna know whether it would work or will the root exploit need to be rewritten to be compatible with the 16GB version.

Can anyone confirm device encryption can be used after root ?

 

[ckazn69]

just tried on a n900w8.... didn't work

 

[q8peace]

wow its work

really work thanks

 

[azidhaka]

Did not work on my N9005 (ENB1).

Am i doing this right? After 'making it ra1n' and reboot, do i have to flash SuperSU or does towelroot fix su for me? Root Checker says i am not rooted.

 

[mafiso80]

Same at me. No root.

Install app, make it ra1n, it will reboot in 15 seconds, install root checker. And thats it, no need for SuperSu app.

 

[dogan2010]

Admitly im an idiot who was in to much of a hurry to get root.
IT worked on my 9005 international.
Download apk , install , reboots in 15 and ... youre rooted without tripping knox.
If apk is clean then i'll probably donate .
Sincerely impressed.
