@HeyRobi: half True there's no native rooting or tethering yet (foxfi and custom roms work tho) but there's a thread under development section that can downgrade part of you and then root u then re upgrade u to custom rooted 4.4,2 not roms or there's nc5 prerooted roms to flash thru safestrap check out my thread if you have questions or concerns feel free to ask in the thread:fingers-crossed:

so I looked at your link and seems like some people are struggling so I haven't tried it yet. Are we any closer to a simple root. I don't necessarily need to install a recovery just want root. And by the way thanks for posting the link.

You may be out of luck.
The method is easy but it will wipe your phone.
There is a chance yo could be waiting for a looong time.
So if I'm OK with wiping it works. Everything will work?

Try towel root, it worked on my nc5, only problem is that the bootloader is locked so I cannot flash roms
Simply search "towelroot apk" and you should find a link to xda or to towelroot.com

If its is ME7 (latest update), you have to use the new root method, which is stickied on the development thread.
Ok thanks for the quick reply! I'll take a deeper look in the development thread!

No, only touchwiz roms. There's a thread about roms that work with safestrap. Hyperdrive and Eclipse are popular roms.

Yah, you can't flash all rom with safestrap. Just some roms can work with it. I'm looking for threads talk about this issue.

in DEV thread much discussions concerning the use of safestrap.
Ok i bought a note 2 that already has the stock 4.3 mj9 update. From what I have read you can root it but can't put custom recovery due to locked bootloader. But then I read about using strap and can run tw based roms. So I'm confused and don't want a bricked phone. Here is what I want if it's possible. I want to run Nublia rom the one that's basically a note 3. Can someone clarify if this is possible and work correctly. Also the steps involved. I don't need detail for detail if I can cause I can look up and do the steps needed. Like root install strap? Install rom? Or can't be done wait till an unlock is available if ever?

I'm still on 4.1.2 with TWRP recovery.... but I've been following the threads on Safestrap.... so I hope I can help a little.
Other users are reporting that they're successfully using 4.3 Custom ROM's with Safestrap Beta for rooted 4.3 Sch-i605 with the locked bootloader.... This link to the thread on Safestrap Beta should help answer some questions for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51616723 .... People in the Safestrap Beta thread should be able to offer assistance with flashing Safestrap and a 4.3 Custom ROM after you get rooted. (From what I understand....at present, Safestrap only works with 4.3 TW ROM's with the stock 4.3 kernel... Also, they are still working out bugs.... so you'll have to flash over your stock ROM until they get where you can boot from ROM slots.... you will want to create a backup up of the stock ROM obviously before doing that).
With the N3bula ROM (or any TW ROM's on Safestrap).... people say a key thing is to make sure you choose to install the stock kernel when you install the ROM.
Here's a link to direct you to the Saferoot thread to help root your phone.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49389228
I don't take any credit for any of this information and would encourage you to thank the original posters and developers for all their help and awesome work.
Good luck.

Yep safe strap is the way to go.. root and then use safe strap..
Good choice on the ROM just playing..
But from what I read you need to do some modding of the ROM zip contents..
In N3bula we let you choose 2 kernels.. you can NOT flash a kernel with safe strap.. Soo you need to remove that option in the aroma script..
Then you should be good to flash..
I will be posting a NEW build most likely tomorrow and I will add a Safe Strap zip so it's up to you to hold off..
Also poke your head into the safe strap and make sure my steps are correct, since I do not run safe strap. .and also hit "Thanks" on @Beastmode profile bc he is the one that got safe strap up and running for you guys:thumbup:

@kleigh774 - I'm glad to try to help. I've only had my Note 2 for a few months. So far, I've just stayed with 4.1.2 ROM's because I've been happy with how well they've been working for me. I've been contemplating trying out some 4.3 Roms and I'm gonna check out Trans Nebula Team's newest N3bula build this weekend . It's great that Safestrap is being developed for those on 4.3 locked stock and I hope you get to enjoy some custom Rom's soon. .

Is my bootloader locked? I tried installing ClockWork and TWRP Through Rom Manger and GooManager, both say they are successful but when I restart into recovery via an app or manually it goes into ODIN Mode or Stock Recovery? What am I missing here? Any help gratefully appreciated !
Only mdk can install a custom recovery. Not to be rude, but a lil reading would of went a long way. All you can do is root and k stall safestrap

No, you can't install a custom recovery. The bootloader is locked.

Yes, and it wasn't really make clear what works with MK2, but now after reading more I see I need SS. I Have 3.70 Installed. Now I am having trouble finding any KitKat Roms that work with SafeStrap and MK2? Is there a list somewhere?

Thx, I actually found that not long after my post. Now it seems there are no 4.4 roms compatible with ss 3.70 and mk2? Hyperdrive seems nice but it's Jellybean.

@streetracer8910 Is this a native root method like saferoot and root de la vega or is it the downgrade method like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748329?

It would have to be a downgrade method as there is not currently a method to natively root KitKat.

If you do bundle the files together you should post it in the thread you get the files from so the OP gets proper credit for his files that you are using.
