Your Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T Root Tools:
Download Root de la Vega Files
Grab the correct root files that corresponds to your Galaxy Note 3 N900T firmware build numbers. There are three different files you need to download (1) firmware build number (2) the CSC file (country/carrier specification code) represents according to your country of origin and (3) the root files containing the SuperSU and other stuff and Odin3_3.09 flasher tool.
To get your Note 3 current firmware build number just dial this code *#1234# then look for info the current Android 4.3 firmware build.
AP: N900TUVUBMI7
CP: N900TUVUBMI7
CSC: N900TTMBBMI7
Kernel Build Date: Fri Sep 13 14:52:13 KST 2013
Then download the correct build number for the AP and CSC version. If your current firmware build was not included in the list, you may ask for it through [designgears], the developer himself.
This files covers for the UBMI7 firmware:
Firmware build: (N900TUVUBMI7_VEGA.tar.md5)
CSC files: (N900TTMBBMI7_CSC.tar.md5)
Root files: (Root_de_la_Vega.7z)
You must head-over to XDA-developer original-thread to grab any latest root files for any particular OTA update software build number version you might have right now. And you can also connect with the developer for any further questions. Below are just a guide which cover things that may help to any new Android users before engaging into rooting.
Download Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 USB driver which is now on Kies 3 for Android 4.3, this is only needed if you have not yet installed Kies 3 in your computer. download here
Just unzip the file, you can use winzip or 7zip tool for extracting the compressed file, then run the “Samsung_Mobile_Phones_USB_Driver_1.5.27.0.exe” program to install the USB Driver. Without the USB driver your computer will not recognized your Galaxy Note 3 device.
Getting Started Into Your Note 3 Root Thing:
- First thing first , fully recharge your Note 3 battery before engaging into flashing process. Power interruption or failure during flashing process might ruin your device in no time.
- Back-up all important files, this root method will delete all of your files that are stored from your device. So copy all of it and save it in a very safe place in your computer. When we say all files, this includes contacts, messages, call logs, photos, videos and even apps.
- Prepare a Windows base OS computer or laptop, Odin flasher tool will not run on Mac and other OSX.
- Use the supplied USB cable, a bad USB cable causing flashing errors.
- Unzip or extract the files, compressed file can be extracted using 7zip, winzip, winrar or any unzipping program in your computer.
- Enable USB debugging mode if you are having issues connecting your device to the computer try to enable the this option. In your Samsung Galaxy Note 3, go to Settings>> About device>> then look for the firmware build number and then tap that build number for around 7-times until a message pop-ups that says something “congratulations you are now a developer”.
- Remove the external micro SD card if you have one, to avoid any failures and error during the flashing process.
- TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock – juts tap on Settings>>Security>>Reactivation Lock and then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on.

Working with Galaxy Note 3 Download Mode and Odin Flashing
Run the Odin3_v3.09.exe in your computer desktop.
Head on Odin chekcboxes options, make sure the “Re-Partition is unchecked. Both Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time check-boxes leave it as checked.
Boot your Galaxy Note 3 into Download Mode: Turn it off, then Press the Volume Down+Home+Power keys simultaneously, until a warning screen prompts you that let you choose to continue or cancel. To continue juts hit the Volume Up key then you will see a download mode screen.

Grab the USB cable then hook-up your Galaxy Note 3 to the computer. Look for Odin’s ID:COM bar, it should turn to blue color and shows you the USB port number of your Galaxy Note 3 connection with the computer. There is also a word that says “Added” in the log-cat box. If you ain’t see any response, try to recheck the USB cable and re-install the USB Driver.
Now hover your mouse to Odin’s button.
– Click the AP button then browse and select this file ‘N900TUVUBMI7_VEGA.tar.md5′ Then wait a couple of seconds for it reads the MD5 checksum for a while.
– Click the CSC button the load the default CSC file ‘N900TTMBBMI7_CSC.tar.md5′

If it happens that you cannot click the CSC button, do this: Look for the ‘Odin.3ini’ file then right-click to it. Now scroll down and find this text [ButtonOption] then change that from CSC=0 to CSC=1 to make the CSC button clickable.
Hit the Start Button
Once both AP and CSC files filled with the right files, simply click that Odin’s “START” button to begin flashing. Wait and watch the progress bar as it will show you the exact time how it completes the flashing and it takes a couple of minutes before the flashing finishes, you have a time to relax for a while.
A huge word “PASS” will then prompts you once it has successfully finished. Wait a couple of seconds again until your Galaxy Note restarts.
Copy the Root file to the Root-directory of the internal storage
When you already unzip or extract the Root_de_la_vaga.zip file. You will then see these two files below:
- root_files
- root_de_la_vega.sh
These contains the SuperSU and other Root files stuff.
Right click “My Computer” then locate your phone in the list of hardware drives. Now copy these two files (root_files h and root_de_la_vega.sh) to the root directory of your Galaxy Note 3 data storage.
- – /My Computer/[Your Phone Name]/Phone/
- root_de_la_vega.sh
- root_files (folder)
Very Important! Reboot your Galaxy Note 3
Once your Galaxy Note 3 completely restarted, locate those two files again (root_de_la_vega.sh and root_files) then this time delete the two files. Once deleted Restart your Galaxy Note 3 again, then disconnect it from the computer connection.
Root Galaxy Note 3 N900T on 4.4.2 Update Without Tripping KNOX Warranty Counter
This method is for those who already have the latest 4.4.2 updates but did not use any other root method and still keeps the KNOX warranty counter on “0x0″. This root method is a simpler approach without knocking KNOX using Geohot’s “TowelRoot”. Now on 4.4.2 updates we cannot directly use “Towelroot” as it was only worked perfectly on 4.4.2 updates not later than June 3rd 2014. To make sure just check your 4.4.2 firmware build numbers by navigating through Settings>>About device>>Software info.
Towelroot can directly root on the following T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 4.4.2 software updates:
• N900TUVUCNB4 (February 2014 build)
• N900TUVUDNE6 (May 2014 build)
Just download and install towelroot on your Galaxy Note 3
Use your device stock browser and navigate to towelroot. Just click the main center logo to download the app.
Once you have downloaded the towelroot app, locate it in your files then run it and click “Make it Rain” . Wait a few seconds and then reboot your phone.
Right after it reboots open up the SuperSU app, if it’ll ask you to update the binary or you’ll see an error message that says something like ” SuperSU has stopped” just grab the latest SuperSU from play store.
SuperSU: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
Now, on any newer 4.4.2 updates using ‘Towelroot’ is still a convenient root method but we need a few extra workaround to achieve root. As mentioned above that towelroot will only perfectly worked on older 4.4.2 updates so all we need is an older 4.4.2 “kernel version” such as the ‘NE6 kernel’ as the root image only penetrates the kernel side and not on the entire Android system images.
This root has worked on any newer 4.4.2 updates but we need to revert back the phone to an older kernel version such as the following:
• N900TUVUDNF9 (August 22nd 2014 build)
• N900TUVUDNF4 (July 19th 2014 build)
• N900TUVUDNF1 (June 17th 2014 build)
First grab the towelroot but don’t run it yet as we are going to install back the older kernel version and the newer kernel.
• N900TUVUDNE6 4.4.2 Kernel (link)
Download the default stock kernel version that corresponds to your phone’s current firmware build number so the root should stick.
N900T Stock Kernels
Kernel Build version | Stock Kernel Download |
---|---|
N900TUVUENK3 4.4.2 Kernel | (link) |
N900TUVUDNF9 4.4.2 Kernel | (link) |
N900TUVUDNF4 4.4.2 Kernel | (link) |
N900TUVUDNF1 4.4.2 Kernel | (link) |
This list will be updated if and when there is a new stock kernel available.
All Kernel builds has been extracted from the full stock firmware by XDA-developer’s senior member “toastido” at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54786551&postcount=1
Step 1: Reverting back to N900TUVUDNE6 Kernel
Power off the phone, then press and hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power button at the same time. Then let go of the power button when you see the message that ask you to press Volume Up to continue.
Connect your Galaxy Note 3 to the computer via USB cable. See Odin’s ID:COM bar, it should turn to blue color and shows you the USB port number of your Galaxy Note 3 connection with the computer. There is also a word that says “Added” in the log-cat box. If you ain’t see any response, try to recheck the USB cable and re-install the USB Driver.
Next, hover your mouse to Odin’s AP button then click it and locate the N900TUVUDNE6_KERNEL.tar.md5 and then load it.
Once the NE6 kernel is loaded simply click Odin’s start button and wait until it finishes and the phone restarts.
Step 2: Install Towelroot
Once your phone boots up, run the towelroot app and then click that “make it ra1n” button.
Wait a few seconds until it install and then do reboot your phone so the new installation can be saved perfectly.
Step 3: Restore back the latest Kernel version
Doing this step is mostly important part to get rid of undesired issues as the kernel should be restored to its corresponding firmware build numbers. Let’s say if you have the 4.4.2 N900TUVUDNF9 then you only need to install back the N900TUVUDNF9 Kernel . Same goes on if you are still have N900TUVUDNF4 or N900TUVUDNF1 and any newer updates.
All you need is repeat the process from step 1. Power off the phone, then press and hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power button at the same time. Then let go of the power button when you see the message that ask you to press Volume Up to continue.
Connect your Galaxy Note 3 to the computer via USB cable. See Odin’s ID:COM bar, it should turn to blue color and shows you the USB port number of your Galaxy Note 3 connection with the computer. There is also a word that says “Added” in the log-cat box. If you ain’t see any response, try to recheck the USB cable and re-install the USB Driver.
This time load the N900TUVUDNF9_KERNEL.tar.md5 on Odin’s AP button or any other kernel build that match your current 4.4.2 OS.
Once loaded simply click Odin’s start button and wait until it finishes and the phone restarts.
Lastly, run SuperSU so you can see if it installs correctly, you might see errors here all you need is grab the latest SuperSU from Play Store
(if it’s not in your app drawer, download it from the play store) and if it asks to update the binary, choose the normal method. (if it says installation failed, just try again or try again after you flash back to NF9, it’s normal and it’ll be updated)
Now once boots up run SuperSU app on your App drawer so you can update its binary.
That’s all! You should now have a successfully rooted your Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T, which is a T-Mobile version. Just share to us if this root method has perfectly worked on your Note 3 device.
