I was wondering if it was possible to root the kitkat firmware (NF2) for the SM-G730W8. I'm worried that I won't be able to root it because KNOX might prevent rooting. And if i do install the firmware i won't be able to go back to 4.2.2 because of KNOX. If anyone has been able to root it on the newest firmware please tell me.
*Update* i just flashed the firmware and i was able to successfully root it using Towelroot. Unfortunately there are lag issues and the touchscreen is really glitchy when playing games like Dead Trigger 1 and 2 and MC5.
I was able to root this phone using a trial of Chimera Tool.
Wanted to know if there was a root out there for N900A Lollipop 5.0 yet. or if there was a way to restore back to 4.4.2 and then root and update to 5.0 been looking for an hour and not finding anything. if this has already been answered please post link and i will close thread.
You will need to downgrade back to NC2, then root with towelroot, install busybox, install safestrap, then upgrade to rooted Lollipop. You can find downgrade instructions/link on Walter White's thread as well as instructions on how to do the lollipop upgrade once you're rooted:

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.

the version you used is in bit 3, not 4.
hey op, i suggest to wait for another year if you want root, don't try to go back android 9, or else you will get bricked.
