best rooting option for sim free note 3?

[amzi160586]

Hi all,

So I've been contemplating rooting this bad boy for a few weeks.

Was looking for advice as to the best and safest method.

I currently on a sim free note 3 from Carphonewarehouse in the UK.

Preferably without tripping the knob counter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Towel Root download towelroot by geohot

If it doesn't save as a file, right-click on the "lambda" and "save as". It's an apk file. Install it on your phone and run it.

I did try towel root but it comes up with a message that my phone is not compatible with it.

Mines a sim free and think towel root is for verizon only.

Am I doing something wrong?

Search xda for chain fires cf auto root. Shouldn't take longer then 10-15 minutes.

Just download towelroot on your phones browser, install, make it rain, super simple, done it 2 times, I Uninstalled just to see if I could without messing anything up

Yeah I've tried towel roots but it keeps saying that my device is not supported.

Look on xda, it will tell you what's available for root, as long as your build is 4.4+ and before a specific date (June 2013 I believe) it should work, so head on over and let us know if anything helped

I will give a go this weekend and see what I make of it.

Hey guys, got around to rooting today. Followed a YouTube video so all went well and was pretty quick (about 2 minutes). Now it's just time to have a little play about and see what's rooms would be best.

The Darthstalker rom would be a good place to start or even lab rats take over the world rom is also very reliable. Make sure you have a good recovery like twrp or Cwm. do a full nandroid back up just incase anything goes wrong.

With most roms they come with its own installer. you can select the gapps and other bloatware apps as u please. The darthstalker rom has that option. Also you can try x-note. Search xda for the relevant threads. Happy flashing
