How to Root??

[clueless404]

Hi guys! I have fallen in love with my Galaxy Note 3, and love all the available features on it.

I recently discovered "Rooting". After lightly researching it I feel very interested- it appears to be somewhat easy, especially with "autoroot" programs. I know it is potentially risky.

Does anyone have any advice on rooting? I'd love to learn more about it. Is it very risky? Some sources say it's no big deal, whereas others disagree. And what's the most effective and safest way to root a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3?

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate any comments, it teaches me a lot

had android tablet a while back and i rooted it and installed custom roms on it

first thing i learned was to do the recovery option in case it screwed up

and i had to use that recovery option a couple of times

so if i was you i would read up a bit and make sure to sort the recovery option first if you plan to install custom roms

Thank you! Would it be wise to backup the phone before I root it, or is a root irreversible?

 

[mcnumpty23]

always wise to back up

root is reversible

theres 2 points of rooting really one to install stuff that needs root permission

2 to install custom roms which change how it looks and can actually make the device perform better than it did originally

I'm going to do that. Thanks again!

Is it unsafe to use a program to simply "autoroot" a phone? Like this one: http://www.kingoapp.com/

not heard of that but i sold the android tablet a while ago when i did mine it was command prompt stuff

just do a little bit of google to get reviews on it

and everything i used including the recovery and the custom roms was totally free so dont pay for anything at all
