How To Root Samsung Galaxy Note 3 On Android 4.3

Before we start you’ll need to make sure you have the most recent version of the USB driver installed to your machine. This usually comes bundled with your phone or can be downloaded directly from your device’s manufacturer’s website.

Step 1: Download the root package for your variant of the Note 3 from here. You’ll also need to download an application called Odin3 which is available here.

Step 2: Extract the package to get the .tar.md5 file and save it somewhere convenient (eg. Desktop).

Step 3: Reboot your phone into Download Mode. This is done by powering off your device and then powering it on again whilst holding the Volume Down and Home keys whilst powering your device back up.

Step 4: Launch Odin3 on your computer and connect your Galaxy Note 3 via USB. Wait for Odin3 to detect the phone (you should see a COM value in the first box, and an Added message in the box below).

Step 5: Click on PDA and select the extracted .tar.md5 file for your device. Make sure Repartition is not checked, and Auto-Reboot is checked (basically, nothing except Auto-Reboot should be checked).

Step 6: Click the Start button and wait for Odin3 to finish flashing the PDA. The phone will reboot as the process completes.

That’s it! You’re down. Your device should now reboot and be in a fully rooted state!
