This has been replaced by Universal Root de la Vega!
Question & Answer
"Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?
It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.
Can you help me with the drivers?
No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.
How do I get into download mode?
Method 1: adb reboot download
Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.
How was this root method accomplished?
By hex editing the system image to call a script on the sdcard as root.
Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?
No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!
Will root survive a factory reset?
Yes, it does.
Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?
Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.
Does Xposed Framework work on a rooted AT&T Note 3?
Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.
Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?
Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.
Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?
Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.
How do I open a 7z file?
With 7zip!
Can I do this on OS X/Linux?
No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.
Can I unroot?
Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.
How do I flash stock?
Follow the first 3 steps of the instructions.
I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?
From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.
Email is force closing, how can I fix this?
Unfreeze My Magazine.
Outstanding dude!! Could I ask if you could post the stock image as well in case users wish to return to stock? Also congrats on being the first post in the original development thread!

Thank you DG. I have one question that I can't find an answer to. Does flashing any stock firmware trip Knox? For example you stated up above that flashing back to stock will remove the custom status and flashing back to stock will take care of that. So are you saying that flashing stock will NOT trip the counter?
I'm just really curious.

Is it possible to change the settings app to a AOSP theme without root? I have my phone nearly to stock (at least with the way it looks, using the Google keyboard, HoloLauncher, HoloLocker, the stock Gallery apk, and the stock Camera apk from 4.3) and don't like the TouchWiz settings. I do not want to root because last time I did it gave me a yellow triangle and wouldn't do anything and had to exchange it. (luckily, the store is unincorporated and did not charge me $700 for a return of a rooted phone) I would prefer not root again if I can help it, and am wondering if I could swap out the default settings app, or maybe get some better instructions on how to root. I am no stranger as I have rooted a Kindle Fire, a Nexus S, and this phone. I am just scared Verizon will pull the yellow screen on me again and need to know how to get around it

Dude, you must have flashed a custom rom while not unlocked to get the yellow triangle. Just use Casual Exploit for VRAMC3 by Adam Outler. If you get errors, it doesn't brick your phone. Anyways, assuming you want to edit or replace the stock settings, its replacing a system app or editing a system app which requires root and an unlocked bootloader.
Here is the link to Casual. Just be completely stock on Android 4.1.2 with baseband and build ending in VRAMC3 and you should be good to go.
Link to Adam Outler's Casual:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066
Just download casual, turn on developer options on your phone with USB Debugging checked on. Plug in the phone to the computer. When it says Device Connected, just press "Do it" and your good to go. Let Casual run its thing. If an error occurs, don't worry, your phone should reboot normally back into your lockscreen.
Hope I helped. Press "Thanks" if I helped you. I don't neccesarily know how to do what you requested in your thread as I haven't touched my settings yet but changing the dpi in it. But, googling it should do the trick.
Well I did use the Exynos Exploit to root without needing a computer. I'm not sure if that changed anything. Thanks for the link I'll probably just get a custom ROM and change everything to 'Stock'. Idk how to thank someone as I am very new to xda, though...... I would if I knew how (hint hint)

I have been meaning to unroot my S4 and remove the SafeStrap recovery. I haven't found a ROM worth trying out and it seems that the process if giving a lot of people a headache. I actually have grown to love some features of TW and when I need a visual change I throw up a custom launcher and I'm perfectly content. So my question is....
If I accept the OTA, will that remove root AND the SafeStrap recovery automatically and then I'll be back to square one or will I still have to remove SS via ADB? Thank you!

Best way to get back to fully stock is to flash your device with Odin. You can find the factory images in the android Dev section.

If you've rooted with Kingo Hashcode suggests flashing the latest SU.zip in SafeStrap.
Also, I was in no way condoning the use of Kingo root when I mentioned it before. I made a personal decision as this is a dev device for me.
If you did use Kingo or vroot, I highly recommend installing the latest Safestrap, downloading the SuperSU flash .zip from @chainfire's website:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/
Then reboot, enter safestrap recovery and install the supersu .zip.
This will get rid of the Kingo root version of the apk and su binary.

I updated and just downloaded the Safestrap .apk file from here:
http://d-h.st/zas
Installed it and followed the on-screen prompts.
Flashed the .zip file from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/
And rebooted.
One thing to note was that I couldn't get to my External SD Card from Safestrap, so I had to re-boot again and copy over Super User.zip file onto the Internal Storage to flash it.
Feel a bit better, but still paranoid about ever using Klingo again until it's WIDELY UNANIMOUSLY confirmed that it's not nefarious,...bummer for jumping on the update so soon :-/

...to which I totally appreciate!
Just wish the warning came out before I used it. That's what I get for being too hot to trot regarding that update!
I've seen Kingo mentioned on the forums, so at the time it didn't cross my mind as needing to be concerned about it. Lesson learned. Early adopters [potentially] take it in the pants. Next time, let more people play with it first THEN jump on the bandwagon!
I literally just used kingo about 10 mins ago. I used kies to update and then ran kingo because I couldn't stand not having root on this device. Everything is working fine. Wondering if I need to worry now lol. Anyways I take it safe strap needs to installed on my laptop and then use it to flash to the phone. Anyone have a link to the note 3 version of safestrap? I don't see it on the site.

You can download/install Safestrap from the phone, then flash the SU .zip file in recovery mode.
Ok so I downloaded and installed safe strap and installed recovery. I then flashed the update from post 1. After reboot I still have root access and it still says custom on start up. Am I safe now?

IF, yes if Kingo steals user information it has already happened most likely during the root process. Just to be sure yes install supersu using Safestrap, the will will ensure you don't have someone in the background spying on your phone.

Superuser pro is not a standalone app it is only a permission placed within the superuser app that was (in this case) already provided by kingo and installed during the root process. You need to flash the Super Superuser from Chainfire via safe strap and reboot...this will overwrite the naughty superuser apk that kingo installed.

Yes, during the root process, the Kingo root application downloads the exploits and tries them on the device and then deletes them so that there's nothing left over for people to examine. Kind of ingenious really. Still no excuse for the amount of info their collection (and which could potentially be used for ill).
I've been trying hard to find the answer and I just can't - I searched these threads for a while.
I currently have Galaxy S4 with MDK which is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader.
I have SDM and SEAndroid frozen on Titanium Backup.
I want to un-freeze those and upgrade to the newest version but still keep my root and all of my root apps. I don't care about the unlocked bootloader - all the root apps I use don't have anything to do with using the bootloader (well I have twrp installed but don't use it).
Can I use OTA Rootkeeper, unfreeze SDM and SEAndroid and take the OTA update? Will I still have root access (again remember, I don't need to have unlocked bootloader)?
I ask because I'm very happy with everything on my phone the way it is - I like where my apps are, I like everything. I don't want to bother flashing roms - I just have no interest. I want to do the update and have everything the way it was and all my folders in their place (less the unlocked bootloader) and still have root for my programs like Titanium Backup and Greenify. super su - etc.
Please - any help would be appreciated.
Afaik, taking the update will ineed cost you your current root. However, I am on stock 4.3 and root using vroot and then used a script to uninstall the foreighn superuser app and add supersu. I have experienced no ill effects as of yet, though some would say that they aren't comfortable using this root method. There is no evidence to support it being entirely safe nor malicious in intent. It does provide root and you can keep all your apps data. Though...if you take the update, I would strongly suggest a factory reset to decrease potential problems...just my 2 cents buddy

The bootloader is technically only bypassed through a Loki exploit, not unlocked.

Rooting can be done using Saferoot and framaroot and others.
But be advised as said previously. . This will not allow you to have a custom recovery like TWRP, Philz or CWM and install custom roms! Unless it has a unlocked bootloader. As of now theres no simple friendly way to do this anymore. Only solution is to have mobiletechvideos downgrade your chip and send it out to them for a service fee. There highly recommended on here for doing this. Hopefully a fix will be released soon as many people are working on this.
Good luck

I think I must have read too many threads and got confused.
After using Saferoot, I was able to root in less than 5 minutes.
The only problem now is that I have no idea why I want or need root at all. Are there any interesting apps that require root?
