Hey everybody, I just got my note 3 this morning. I'm not new to rooting but I don't know the root procedure for this phone. Could someone please guide me in the right direction? My build number ends with MI9 if that helps ..

IF using MI9, use RDLV on it, and quickly, before it gets the OTA update (I'd disconnect it from networks entirely until it was rooted. Don't use RDLV if it's gotten the update!)
If it's not on MI9 anymore, your only options are kingo/vroot. Both of those are not allowed to be linked to on XDA because of suspicions about them being malicious (though many people have used them and reported no issues)
Downloaded rdlv last night left my phone charging woke up to my wife playing on it. She took the update cuz the phone asked her if she wanted to update. :banghead: anyway to downgrade don't really wanna use the other 2 options

No, you cannot downgrade the firmware. I think trying bricks it and trips knox warranty void.

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

Does anyone notice that the calculator app disappears. I've found the sense calculator apk and re-installed it. In extreme power saver mode is when I noticed it gone. Installed the apk and all is well now. Also does anyone know what the app MobileZone is/does and can I uninstall it with no issues using titanium?

The calculator app is located in /data and gets deleted when you unlock your bootloader (along with a couple of other apps, as I recall).

If you install 4.4.2 you won't be able to root or anything else for that matter. If you really want to update to 4.4.2 don't worry. It won't erase anything on your phone.

I've just rooted my device using geohot's towelroot.apk and now I can't use my ISIS wallet app for my free Jamba Juice smoothies. I'm searching around and I can't find a method to unroot.
Kies3 isn't working either as it says "firmware initialisation is not supported by this model"
PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I've also tried to use SuperSU to unroot, but it won't let me update the binaries and just force closes
Edit 2:
*** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ALL OTHER USERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE
I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
