Possible Root For Note 3 VZW? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

My reading comprehension skills may be a little off but from what I gather here is that you can root using old methods but just making sure you use an updated CWM? I'm not sure if I should try it or not. Does this make sense to you guys?

Locked bootloader. No custom recovery - CWM. Don't try it.

but can you use apps which require root? I dont really care much about the custom recovery or locked bootloader. so this guide allows that?

That guide is ancient and not applicable. You can only use root apps as intended if you have root. If KK 4.4.4 or Lollipop then no root and currently no way to get it. There is no downgrade to any rootable version if you are running 4.4.4 or above. I was happy to stay rooted with 4.3.

And we wonder why boot loaders are locked these days.

I'm hoping this exploit...
https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/155412
in Swiftkey impacts our Note 3s with 4.4.4 and L.
(So sad to hope for holes in your phone so you can have freedom)

Just checked the "how to see if you are vulnerable" post/comment by a guy named Charlie (https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015...em-user-on-samsung-phones/#comment-2086888243)
If his method of checking is correct, NK1 would be considered vulnerable to this exploit. One step closer.

doesnt look like 5.0 has the vulnerability but from what ive read we can downgrade to nk1, hopefully

VZW Note 3 all Android versions (4.4.4 NJ6/NK1 & 5.0 OB6) are vulnerable. However, this gives SYSTEM (uid=1000) not ROOT (uid=0) access. SYSTEM user is capable of writing to many places on the file system, and this makes it easier to implement a weaponized ROOT exploit, if/when available.

Do you know if this exploit is able to allow me to remove bloat ware for now, until full root is avail?

You don't need root access to block bloatware; use this tool!
