[Q] Best root for 4.3 to run titanium? (total noob) topic

Hello all.

I have looked at root threads till my eyes bleed, but being an absolute total noob to android (but not to devices) I am having a hard time.

I want to root my Note 3 SM-900V running 4.3 so I can run titanium backup.

Can anyone point me to a step by step? The phone is currently wiped and I am not too worried about knox if that matters.

Thanks so much!

[Q] Can't flash a ROM after total wipe (and recovery) topic

So I installed TWRP, fine. Then I accidentally wiped the whole phone. OK, somehow I managed to get AndroidNow flashed and running....but if I try to flash any other ROM with TWRP I just get stuck in a bootloop (LG logo screen). Yes, I did a factory reset before trying ChupaChups, etc. Yes, wiped the usuals.

Solution? I'd like to try other ROMs or even just go back to the beginning.
