I've read the motochopper root procedure on another thread, but it's not quite as clear-cut. So do I install motochopper to the root directory of my external SD card, then extract it from phone recovery?

NO extract motochopper somewhere in your PC open the folder created and 2 clic on runme.bat. before connect the phone to your PC and make sur that you activat usb debugging in option developper before that's all enjoy :good:

CWM?
Thanks for the root method, but how about a CWM for this device? I understand that a modified kernel for UV/OC is out of the question at this time but i can't find even a reliable custom recovery. The only one that i can find on xda is made by a user that seems reluctant to try it himself, therefore i am too...

I think you're talking about me and my thread, and I don't take offense. Heh.
I did try it (heck, I didn't notice that I didn't say that in my thread) and it doesn't boot.
Actually I don't know what went wrong. Tips?

In this very subforum.. Did you even look?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440163
i did a quick search and didnt dig too much. My apologies and thank you.
in the root thread, I didnt read any mention of adding recovery. Does it do that? Or is that a separate install?

TWRP's page has information. Admittedly, I did dig around for a day before I got my G2 to put stuff together to root it, so, there's no one-stop-shop for it all.
Just follow the instructions. After you root, you use the command on the page. Get the latest .img file, do not attempt to get the latest file, which is a zip, and unzip it or something. And of course, get the recovery for your phone.
And type carefully.

my phone keeps telling me that there is an update from att for the phone of 55mb or so. I've tried to download it several times, but it times out apparently after 10% or so.
Do I do that update BEFORE I root? Or can I do it after? I am currently on JB 4.2.2 build JDQ39B
EDIT - I found my answer in another thread. OTA after root = problems. I will retry the update and then root. Is there a way way push the update from the pc somehow?

Not that I have heard of....have you seen any stock Roms for your carrier with the ota also? The ota has problems with custom recoveries....
remember to make a nandroid backup of your stock rom.. just in case
u'll never know when u need it later :good:

[Q] + [H] how to root ?

how i can to root my N900V ?
N900VVRUBMJE
Android 4.3
and i use with "Cellcom" Sim card and I have a message - "Non-Verizon SIM"
how can i hide this ?
I used kingo root for mje. There is a thread in the genral section titled "All things root......" that has a lot of information about rooting the VZW version of the note 3. I do not know about your second question though.

Mike...You got the latest OTA and were still able to root?
No, actually I didn't get mje ota. It kept failing for some reason. I had to install it with odin. But yes I was able to root mje. Forgive me its been a while since I rooted it, but I do remember that it would not work with the stock cord. I had to use the cord from my droid 4. I tried several before it would register.

Then you can explain to me how to root ?

Help with Rooting Note 3
Looking for some help, trying to root my brand new Note 3 on Verizon and not having any luck.
Things I have tried.
Kingo multiple computers fails every time either unstable connection or bad script
I don't have antivirus on my Windows 7 X64 machine nor on my Windows 8.1 machine.
I have tried 2 different cables. one from my HTC and one from my Samsung note 3 (not using USB 3.0)
rebooted device, double, tripled checked that USB debug, and allow unknown sources are checked
universal de la vega.. fails and soft bricks my phone and I have to recover.
Cf-root haven't tried as I can't find the tar file for my Verizon phone.
Does anyone have any insight on were to look.
Can I flash a rom that is already rooted using Odin?
At this point I need WiFi tether for work or I will lose my mind. and could care less about Knox.
Thanks for any and all help:crying:

Try Vroot it should work. Just replace the Chinese superuser with Chainfires supersu when you are rooted.You can not flash a rooted rom through Odin it will brick your phone because the signature will fail.

Cool, I forgot to tell you that it's safe to uninstall the other Chinese app that gets installed. I have no idea what it is but it can go. I've used both Kingo and Vroot with no problems with the phone. Enjoy root, flash safestrap v1.65 and stary enjoying the ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development . If you need help with safestrap go to the link 4 posts up AZbiker wrote up.

I want to install a full Hebrew, You might know how to do it?
And how can I install CWM? I'm trying to do this in ODIN failed
For Hebrew look up language enabler in the play store I think it may be what you want. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam As for CWIM that won't work on our phones because of the locked bootloader. Our only option is to root with Kingo or Vroot and then install safestrap witch works great. There is a link about six posts back for all the info you may need for that

The bootloader will not be open but with vroot and safestrap you will have root and be able to install ROMs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development
As for the bootloader being unlocked your guess is as good as mine to if and when it will happen. With safestrap atleast we can install some ROMs. Enjoy.

[Q] Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 4.4.2 root help!

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or if there is already a thread about this. If there is, I couldn't find it. I really want to root my phone to use it as a mobile wifi hotspot for my tablet and I am having a really hard time trying to find a link to a forum or a youtube video about how to root my phone. So far, I have only found root tutorials for models other than mine. Do I just have an obscure phone model or is it just more difficult to root? I have wanted to do this for quite some time now so any help is appreciated!
4.4.2 is a new release so currently there is not a root method. As of my last reading there is some significant progress in finding a root method. This is definitely not an obscure phone model. Just a brand new update that developers are still working to root.

This is the only option. All you have to do to mount system is a quick flash of one package in ODIN, and then you just have to do another ODIN after you finish flashing in recovery. It's not that bad really.

Not being able to flash and restore backups on the go definitely is a downside, so this definitely isn't for flashaholics or people who want their flashable mods wherever they are. It's a matter of whether you're willing to take time to set it up stable all at once or just chill back until things are updated (root method and safestrap namely)

You need to a lot more reading in the general forum. What firmware are you on? You can't just install super su from the play store which I'm assuming you did. If I'm wrong please correct me

How do I check the firmware? The baseband version is I337UCUFNB1.
Yes, I have installed the Super SU from playstore, but before I have used a root_sgh-i337.bat file.

I would prefer to get code from at&t, but have to wait 48 hours for them to get back to the guy who sold the phone to me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If they refuse to provide the code then I will have to mess with the phone to get it unlocked or sell it as is.

Well I was reading and safestrap have limited funtion about what rom can be flashed... I have only two questions
Is possible to unlock my bootloader (running 4.3) for installing roms with custom kernel ?
Or any way to flash a stock rom without carrier stuff (drebranded)

Well I don't know the active and can only go by what I know of the i337. You're probably on ml3 firmware. The bootloader is probably locked and you can't unlock it. So safestrap is your only option. You'll be able to flash tw based roms only. There may be debloated roms available but you'll have to find those. Try googling i537 roms xda

1. U can unroot. And in the future if u flash stock firmware, root will be gone too.
2. Rooting won't delete any files. It will just open root access and inject supersu.
3. Triangle away I never used. But u can just read its thread. If written a support for ur device, means can. BUT, triangle away won't reset ur knox status.
