We now know the name of the next OS version of Android will be marshmallow, but that software won’t be installed on many Samsung devices for quite some time. Most devices will keep running Lollipop. If you are still running Android 5.0 Lollipop and would like to learn how to root the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running the same, you can find out how easily after the drop.

REQUIREMENTS

• The guide is made specifically for the N900 variant. Do not attempt to follow this guide on a different device. It won’t work and you might brick it.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download the Samsung USB Drivers for mobile phones from our page. Scroll down the page until you get to Samsung.
• You will trip Knox and void the warranty by following the guide.
• Unlock the Developer Options menu and then enter it from the Settings to enable the USB Debugging Mode. Unlocking is done by tapping over the build number seven times. You’ll find that build number from the About Device menu.
