Good luck

Yes. This method won't root all phones, but it will root most.
As far as drivers, please try PDAnet drivers for the purpose of simplicity. They are extremely easy to install.

We already see it's helped several people, but keep in mind that building CWM is a last resort (unless you want to do it for fun and learning - in which case, by all means, have at it.). If you've got a CWM for your phone already, things will be much simpler.
Used this on 2 phones we got last week
Note 3 Android 4.2 3G Phablet with 6 inch IPS WVGA Screen MTK6589 Quad Core 1GB RAM Dual Cameras GPS (Royal Blue)
MTK6589 is my model
rooted in seconds
now if i could get the signal to stop dropping whenever i enable 3G, i will have something.
The tutorial is down, just a blank page...
I went ahead to try and root the i9977. Just got a really, really tough error. During the process it appeared the drivers tried to install, but failed. Is this a result of the VCOM drivers missing? I installed the PDAnet drivers, and the MTKdroid Tool can detect my phone. I'm not sure if the drivers work or not...
No, it just means that particular root failed for your phone. Follow Gizbeat 101 Root Process.
Thanks for the heads up about Gizbeat.com. I was modifying some files and pasted the wrong header. Oops. Should be fixed now.
Thanks for the replies guys
I'm curious if trying various rooting methods can lead to a brick? I honestly don't want to mess around with many methods if there's a risk. Can these be tried without any risks at all?

Obviously there's no guarantee, but I've never known someone to brick from these methods.

Hmm, think I'll hold out for now, if there's a risk.
