FYI. Under NC5, I was able to use the standard hotspot to tether by using Wanam Xposed's "Disable Tether Provisioning." That didn't work after an upgrade to NK1. But, the good news is that the X Tether Xposed module does seem to work fine.
(FoxFi didn't work under NK1, either)
so wait does nk1 use the same root method as was suggested for ng6? (use nc5 kernel, root, ng6 kernel, reboot)
Be nice if someone can make a zip to use the built in tether like nc5

I was able to Root using the steps in the link above, flashing down with Odin, towelroot, flash back up.
However, the .zip linked above did not work for me. It is saying "Footer is wrong, signature verification failed" to both things it is trying to install.
I am on NK1 (i545vruf-mk1) 4.4.2
Really, the only thing I want to do is get Tether up and running. Any help with that would be appreciated!

I used Odin to flash the firmware from NK1 down to NC1 (I think), to towelroot, than back up to NK1.
All that went fine, and root is working fine. I used no-bloat to remove a bunch of stuff and have used SuperManager and SQLite Editor to edit stuff that I would need Root to do. The phone is rooted, and I didn't use safestrap.
Do I need safestrap to load these .zip modifications for Wifi / Tether? Seems like they are supposed to load direct from recovery mode. Am I wrong?

Ok, I have never used SafeStrap, but I have it installed on my phone, and I have the .zip files still. Anyone have a guide thats a little more explicit than, "Now install it?"
EDIT:
NM, using XDA Modules, I grabbed X Tether and it works like a champ! Thank for the direction though!!!
Their is a way to enable the tether without safe strap but involves a lot more knowledge of unzipping and file permissions or you well end up with boot loop.
On my daughter's phone I just installed safe strap 3.72 installed the zip then uninstalled safe strap. Works great on hers and mine even adds the toggle you can turn it on and off.

Yes, it works fine. Just make sure to have a shortcut to towelroot on your home screen. With the nc5 kernel flashed it's only moments until reboot / lockup. But with the shortcut there I was able to root, reflash the nk1 kernel and update SUPERSU binary and all root apps are working fine.
A hack to get native tether going would be great. Let me know if anyone has a way to do this.

Hi there!! A while back I was rooted and enjoyed it very much. But recently, my friend's S4 had a bit of a booting up issue. So I decided to unroot. After unrooting, I thought of updating (because I didn't want to break my phone from root. I'm paranoid). When I went to update, I remembered that I had frozen SDM.apk with Root Uninstaller. So I had the idea of trying to re-root it, to no avail. Something went horribly wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced! BTW, I am on MDK.
NOTE: I had a few mods, such as the AIO Odex Mod. All of my mods EXCEPT for the toggles were uninstalled. I am a noob to this Jelly Bean rooting, please point me in the right direction

Use saferoot, or the ME7 root method. And I really dont think you understand that you don't need to update your device. What we mean is that on MDK you can already run 4.4.2 if you flash say cm 11. If you take an update you're effectively locking your device down, ensuring that you wont be able to run the latest builds when they come out and you would be making a big mistake. So I'll tell you what Ill help you get root, if you don't update your device, or at least if you do don't post saying you did, it would be so depressing lol. It would be worse than upgrading to Vista from XP or to Windows 8 from Windows 7.

What error did you get with motochopper? The easiest method to use would be saferoot if your comfortable with usbing adb or if you have a 32/64 gb sdcard laying around and know how to format to exfat use the ME7 root method
As always, go to settings--> security---> make sure 'Uknown sources' is checked and 'Verify apps' is unchecked. Then enable developer options if you have not already and make sure 'USB debugging' is enabled before attempting any of the above root methods. Also it might help to set Screen lock to None while you root, it can be enabled after. Post what errors you get if any so I can help.

You're mixing things up here.
One: Motochopper only works on MDK.
Two: Saferoot doesn't work on MDK, only MJ7/MK2 as far as I know.
Three: Saferoot doesn't require anything special as far as your SDcard size. The MI1 root does.
So, what bootloader are you on? Don't use motochopper if you're past MDK.

geohot has made it possible to root our VZW Stock Note 3 NC4 KitKat 4.4.2 via the website www.towelroot.com/
It's the most simple root tool I have ever used hands down. Go to the site on your mobile browser, click the lambda, download and run APK right on your phone. Device will reboot and you will have root. Just did this on my note 3 last night. Only thing I think you have to check is to make sure your kernel has a date of before June 3.

That worked. Root worked. SuperSU disabled knox. Awesome.
I got the worst of all possibilities. Installed towelroot, ran it, did not get SuperSu, but on restart, it shows as "Custom" which means that Knox was tripped. What are my options now? Running latest NC4 OTA update.

Not necessarily, boot into download mode and check know there. My phones said it since day 1 when I got it and threw on a custom rom. My Knox though is still 0x0. As I said you can check that on your download screen. I used towel root on another phone with no issues as well.
I installed towelroot, then used root checker to verify, then downloaded and installed supersu, then rebooted and let supersu disable knox. I'm on NC4 latest. It worked perfectly.

I understand that part. My problem lies with the fact that not even the ROMs That are supposed to work with SS will not install.

Need to look at which version of Safestrap you are using and are you installing into stock slot.
Problem solved. I thought I had SS 6.72 installed. Turns out it was 6.71. Switched that and it is working fine.
I upgraded to Hyperdrive using SS after having rooted with towelroot. The upgrade went fine but soon noticed that I did not have root. Tried towelroot again but it said my phone wasn't supported. Tried flashing supersu, tried saferoot and it came back with permission denied. I'm assuming that has something to do with SELinux and not setting permissive mode. Is there a way to do that manually since the SElinux APK doesn't seem to be working? Vrufnc2 is what the build number is showing. Looking for some ideas here to get root back while maintaining the current hyperdrive rom. Thanks!

How do I flash in ODIN? Just the same place as the NC5, under AP?
EDIT: Okay so not in ODIN. Like I said, I know nothing about Samsung devices. Seeing as how it is a .zip file I assume I need to flash it in a recovery on the phone. I jumped to conclusions with the wifi fix so I am now going to actually look up the proper way to apply it.

Is safestrap just the stock recovery or is it a custom like TWRP or CWM? And another thing, whenever flash an old firmware so I can root, it doesn't seem to actually change. I'm still at NK4 every time I change it. You know what I'm doing wrong? I've looked into a few different posts nothing is working. I've tried towelroot and Kingo.
And I suppose I should actually address your reply instead of just going on a tangent, I did and it put the phone in a bootloop and I have yet to address that. I just reflashed NK1 deal with it for the moment.
