*** ROOTING Samsung Galaxy Note3 Smartphone***

I would like to know what is the easiest way to ROOT my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 Smartphones? I am sure that there a lot of third party apps but I would like to know the easiest and safest one EE can recommend for me.

Thank you,

What is your purpose for rooting your phone?

Is your phone obsolete so that you do not mind turning it into a brick?
+1 for Jackie's comment.

Once you root your phone, you've violated the TOS you agreed to.

You'll almost surely be caught + your phone "Bricked" (become unbootable/unusable).

Jackie man,

Why do people root their phone? The whole idea of "ROOTING" is that giving a person the ability to uninstall apps that comes with the phone that ordinarily I am not able to uninstall and be able to store additional apps on the SD card instead of using the internal storage memory which does not have a large capacity.

"Is your phone obsolete so that you do not mind turning it into a brick?"
Whether it is obsolete or not it is irrelevant and that really depends on one's own interpretation. If it still works that's all that matters. I do realize that Samsung no longer makes these models and I do realize that these phones do not support 3G in 02/2022. But my main reason to use the phones just for media purpose only not for talking.
Also, what do you mean turning it into a brick?

Thank you,

Basem Khawaja

David,

"You'll almost surely be caught + your phone "Bricked" (become unbootable/unusable)."

I was not aware that it was a crime to ROOT your phone. I was told by Samsung that ROOTING will only void any warranty on the phone. But since the warranty is already expired then it should not be a problem. As far as the unbootable or being unusable I also did not know that. A lot of third party apps on line they never mention these side effects. They are FREE so I am not sure why do they lie about the harm that can result as a consequence of ROOTING.
