How to Root Galaxy Note 3 on Android 4.4.2

For those of you who couldn’t root your Galaxy Note 3 on Android 4.4.2, it was because the latest Android 4.4.2 is unrootable.

This root method actually works on all Galaxy Note 3 models with Android 4.4.2 and also does not trip KNOX for those of you worried about it.  It will work on Android 4.4.2 with build numbers ending in NC2 or NC4.

Step 1. Before beginning, make sure you have Android 4.4.2 by going to Settings->About phone on your Galaxy Note 3.

Step 2. Open up your browser on your Note 3 and go to towelroot then hit the Lamda icon.

Step 3. That should have downloaded a file ending in .apk, press on it in your notification drawer.

Step 4. Hit “Settings”.

Step 5. Make sure “Unknown Sources” is checked ON.

Step 6. Hit “OK”.

Step 7. Hit “Install”.   This will install the Towelroot app.

Step 8. Hit “Accept” if you see a Google warning.

8Step 9. Also check on “I understand that this app may be dangerous” and hit “Install”.  Don’t worry, this app isn’t dangerous, most root apps such as this are flagged by Google Play Store but there’s no spyware of any kind on this app.

Step 23. Once that’s all done, try downloading and opening a rooted app such as Titanium Backup app (which can backup all of your favorite apps btw), and you should see Superuser request window!
