I need help with rooting my Galaxy Note 3. I've never rooted a phone before so I am new to this. I've read some of the posts and understand a bit, but they're all confusing as there are quiet a few posts out there on how to root. I'd like to get some help on which correct tools and stuff I would need to download to help me root my phone. Preferably I would like to stick to stock ROM, or a custom ROM closest to stock without the Samsung bloatware. My phone model is the SM-N900W8, running on KitKat 4.4.2, with a baseband version of N900W8VLUCNB7, and Kernal 3.4.0-859721.

If I were to use Towelroot would I be able to factory rest my phone and it'll still be rooted? Also do I need to do anything else after using Towelroot?
-update- using Towelroot did not work for me

Thanks I've read the other post too. I wouldn't have any to do anything after flashing the file through Odin right? Also would I be able to factory reset my phone no problem and keep my root?

Nothing to do.
You can do factory reset no problem but you might loose root, but just repeat the process in case you do loose root. Be warned though, although quite a lot of people rooted their N900W8 without tripping root, can't exactly say it will be the same for everybody, it might trip it.

If you intend to stay on stock firmware and not flash a rom, then you don't need one. But if you flash a rom made for a N9005, then you will need a kernel made for N900W8/Tmobile in order to make NFC, BT and Wifi work ( also need a patch for the said sensors/signal ).

I guess I will stick with stock as everything still seems too confusing for me to understand. The root you gave me, I notice it says sm9005 instead of sm900w8, it wouldn't change my network frequency would it?

It will not change anything except root your phone. I know it says it's for N9005 but quite a lot of people even with different phone models have tried it and it worked and that's including me who has a N900W8 from Rogers.

As most of the users dont like the russian method of rooting on 5.1.1 due to the unknown kernel source and others dont trust it i dont know why :v
Dj_steve made his own kernel that works with Su just like the russian one
Kernel link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-tweaked-kernel-5-1-1-tw-t3266618
Recovery link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/recovery-qualcomm-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3245256
And finally Su link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwuSX5zRNLjtTVhzd3J2YXgwaTQ/view?usp=docslist_api
Installation :
Flash the recovery with odin
Flash the kernel with the recovery
Flash the Su.zip with the custom recovery
All done
Now you're rooted
Thanx for Dj_steve for making the kernel
thanx for jackeagle for making the recovery
Thanx for chanfaire for making Su
and finally thanx to blue cat from 4pda for his kernel that explained that we have to disable some sammy security stuff in order to obtain root access
Have a nice day
sasukesama said:
The latest version of kingroot is fully working without issue and without the need of installing a custom kernel like the Russian method which most of you dont trust it i dont know why : v
No pc required
just downloaded the apk from kingroot site and fire it up

Dj_steve made a kernel that works with su like the Russian one
you can use it as fast as its ready
It's not working
Ok i think i know the problem
I've completely forgot that ive removed knox from my rom so i think its the key
so i want you guys to test this:
Install the alpha twrp from rvr because jackeagle recovery wont loads aroma
Use the cleaner in my "smooth your tw " thread to remove knox without the need of rooting
Now restart your device and try to root it with kingroot
Please test and report so i can update the post if it works

The thing is that i wanted kingroot to replace Su by overwriting su root and takeing it place because samsung dont have kernel protection against it
try to wipe data with twrp>>>root with su>>>>root with kingroot>>>uninstall su apk from system
this should work 100% as it a complete clean

Root problems remains
Having a bit of a problem with rooting G800H/DS. I have used either the Russian or Indian 5.1.1, and rooted with the Russian or DJ_steve's kernel + recovery + SU. Removed Knox with Titanium Backup. Everything works fine for a day or two, but then suddenly when rebooting the phone gets stuck in a reboot cycle. Anybody else having the same problem, or hopefully a solution?

I'm not really sure what causes that to happen with your phone. What did you do after you rooted your phone? Did you modify/touch the system? You maybe accidentally deleted some important files in your system. If you like, you can go back to marshmallow and use Cf auto root to root your phone, here's the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/815/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-j5nlte-j5nltexx-smj500fn.zip
Just flash it with odin.
Yes i modify system, i install stock ROM before via odin (if i good remember). I try this cf auto root thx

That must be the problem, do not modify the system if your'e not sure about it. Inform me if you successfully rooted your device with cf auto root.

you can root "automaticaly" with KingoRoot using the pc, just make a search on Google, download, install and then root your phone
this is the most easy and simlpe way!(without "broke" something) to root the LLP stok rom
also you can use this guide to root

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/galaxy-j5-qa-thread-galaxy-j5-series-t3382922
along with that threads you can get stok roms already rooted to install, LLP or MM
Good luk!
PS. dont forget to do a "search" for them
most of them was writed just for spread the ink and loose the time, nobody read it!
Kingo root was a first program that i check but on marshmallow dont work, i dont try it on lolipop. But now i have again marshmallow then i try cf auto root at first.
God dude, look, just type on youtube how to root Galaxy j5 marshmallow, video is by Techno Geniune or something like that, follow instructions carefully, and that is it, nothing hard. And don't say that rooting using twrp caused problems for you, it didn't cause any problems to anyone out there, it is just i think that you are lazy and want to root using an app...
Edit: if you are on lollipop, just type how to root galaxy j5 lollipop...
Hmm, interesting you say that im too lazy to root my phone manually, and you say that i dont use youtube tutorial by Thechno Geniune, and at last you say that twrp dont broke anything for anyone. Weird because i use 4 files with twrp, and i watch mentioned by you tutorial and i was forced to 4 time installing ROM. Then i propose at first get knowledge about someone problem and then write that someone is lazy.
