Hey just bought my wife a note 3 for Christmas and it is my intentions to allow all updates and then root with kingo. Root is required due to the need for tethering.
Next question is there any reason why I should not update and if so which one is desired. I do like having an Odin file... if I don't want to update what app should I freeze? It appears mj1 is what I want but what are the differences?
last question after I install kingos su can/should I attempt to install a different superuser app and then should I uninstall the kingo su? From what I can tell I really just need to install busybox.
Thanks a note 3 noob.

If you get rid of the Kingo SU you will have no way to unroot if you need to. As the Jingo SU has the unroot process built in to it..
Use foxi app if u don't want to root your phone.

Superuser app is installed as a part of the rooting process. YOU NEED THIS APP. All other applications that need root access like Titanium, they are gaining root access through superuser. ( You will need to confirm if you want the app to gain access ). If you have superuser installed meaning that your device is ROOTED

If you want to remove super user, than why did you root your phone...?
You need super user for apps that require root
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Actually, as I understand, superuser app is installed even if you do a temp root like via z4root
That said, i also am unclear as to it real function
Hi guys,
Some questions here:
1. I was just exploring my O4X with my Titanium Backup when I realized my superuser app isn't listed in Backup/Restore tab. Is there anyway we can do to show the app?
2. When I first rooted my phone, the given superuser app is superuser. Is it possible to use SuperSU instead? I find SuperSU much more user friendly and it's got some features that superuser doesn't.
3. Related to question no. 1 & 2, supposing I've installed SuperSU, is it safe and possible to simply uninstall the superuser app using Titanium Backup and let SuperSU take over the superuser stuff?
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
PS. It's March 31 in Indonesia and still no sign of official JB update.

To backup Superuser or SuperSU is useless, you need always to install it because of binary.
Installing SuperSU in system will uninstall Superuser automatically but if you don't want to install it in system, you can delete /uninstall Superuser like any other app without losing ROOT (after install SuperSU, it takes control over Superuser)

I actually tried installing both apps and it seems like nothing is happening. The only problem is that I can't remove the superuser, it doesn't show up anywhere not even in Titanium Backup.
Thanks for your reply though

Download SuperSU from play store , open it , tgen go to the setting tap ,, then check the "enable SuperSU" .
Then goto "install SuperSU into /system" .
That is all .

Even works on new updated firmware At&t pushed out.
N900AUCUBMJ5
Kingo is updated http://www.kingoapp.com/. They have more updates coming.
Lot of people now trust this method and It is one of the only ways to root right now.
I am using this method and have been since it came out.
11/26/13 On a warranty replacement with latest Kingo Root and firmware.
No problems what so ever, phone is perfect so far.
This method is so much faster and works perfectly.
Confirmed and working great on AT&T Note 3.
Does not trip the knox counter.
(It does show Custom Status but you can change it)
No factory reset, and no wiping data !!!!!!
One Click and your done.
SUPERSU
After that you can install XposedInstaller and WANAM.
There are some kool things you can do with that.
For one > Make it show Official Status instead of Custom.
My phone is sicker now !!!!!!! SWEET
Wanam Xposed
I have rooted my SM-N900A with Kingo root. I installed Exposed. And I have installed the Wanam module for Xposed. Under Security hacks, I have checked Fake system status. However, on reboot, it still says custom. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Or what else I might need to do?
Make sure Wanam exposed is checked off inside of xposed installer under the modules section that will fix your problem if not try updating installer then will work "you do know you need installer correct

Yes. I installed it first. Downloaded .apk from XDA. Then downloaded Wanam from Play store. I checked the wanam module in Xposed. Rebooted. Still said custom. Went in and unchecked Fake system status. Rebooted. Checked Fake system status. Rebooted. Still shows custom. Should I uninstall wanam module, reinstall, and check it in xposed before trying to make any changes? Thank you for your help.
I'm trying to think what I did but how I explained in post I swear worked for me cuz I had same problem sorry can't be more of assistance

Not a problem. You did help. You told me about activating the module in Xposed. But I did fix it. I uninstalled wanam, downloaded and installed from the play store again. Then I checked it in Xposed, opened wanam, checked fake status and rebooted. It works now. Thank you for your help.

Best bet would be upgrade your super user to pro and tell it to attempt to hang onto root when upgrading.

From what I heard 4.4 is several months away for AT&T users. AT&T is usually about 6 months behind the initial release of an Android version.
As for the root, King can be uninstalled simply bu going into settings for Super User. Once uninstalled the phone is returned to non-root stock. Then you can run the OTA once it comes. After the update, re-rooting will be the big question. Will Kingo still work? Who knows. Maybe AT&T will lock us down even tighter with that release.
Long time lurker, first time poster...
So I'm a new N3 owner and currently at N900AUCUBNB4 on the handset, and I'm trying to root my phone.
From what I'm reading, Kingo is broken unless you've previously rooted, which I have not. Does anyone have any working alternatives that don't trigger knox until an updated Kingo build releases? My ultimate goal is to root and then flash a kitkat rom to the handset.
Whatever you read is wrong...
Look in the general section.
Sent from my SM-N9005A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Kingo worked on my NB4. I used version 1.1.8. I had to reflash my note 3 since I used the AT&T bloat remover and followed the link below. Kingo rooted my note 3 faster then the first time I did it. I think a virgin pit and image made a huge difference.

I can confirm that what he said is correct. I just rooted using 1.1.5 this morning, and it took the first time.

So here's what I ultimately did, which worked flawlessly:
1) Went through the MJ5 restore (and root step) detailed here.
2) Updated to OTA NB4.
3) Downloaded Kingo 1.1.8 from here, installed, and rooted NB4 successfully.
4) Confirmed rooted on NB4 and no knox trip!
Thanks for the input, everyone. :good:
Glad you were able re root.

Nb4 root
I can also confirm a first time root immediately after the nb4 OTA update. Brand new handset. Kingo 1.2 failed but 1.15 worked first time. FWIW I had to use the USB 3 cable.
1.1.8 did not work
NB4 and 1.1.8 did not work for me. Tried twice with it failing both times. USB debugging and Unknown sources both enabled. Can't seem to find 1.1.5 does anyone have the link?
Also what's all this about Kingo being a sketchy root application?

Kingo is not a sketchy root application.
I have seen people say that the newest version of Kingo will be able to root NB4
Now that we have root for 4.4, I'm planning to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4, but I haven't come across any simple method to do it. Mazdamiata has a method to do it, but it requires downgrading to MJ5, which would be a huge inconvenience. My update fails at 27% even with all the original apps restored and unfrozen. I have Xposed installed and my device is rooted with Kingo. Any suggestions?
I'm with you! I sat down and wanted to upgrade to kit Kat but following those directions were not easy for me. I am now stuck on 4.3 until there is an easier way to get there. What stinks is there isn't even a YouTube video to show how to go back to mj5 and the upgrade
Isn't there any other solution to safely upgrade without reverting to MJ5?
here you go

Is the best way just to factory reset my device, retain the root and then try to upgrade?

thats exactly what im currently trying. i went into tibu, did a batch unfreeze, then used kingo to unroot. restarted and am now downloading the update. hopefully it will get me up to kitkat and let me root again with towelroot.
Let us know if it works then all I have to do is unfreeze the updater apo and unroot with kingo

nope didn't work... it would download, then when it tries to install the update, it stops at about 24%, reboots and gives an error saying update interrupted.
I tried manually doing it also by putting the update file on SD card and applying in recovery mode... it starts, errors, and wiped my data....
the only way seems to be the harder way heh
