Right at the top in the General forum is the thread called [GUIDE] Complete Tutorial for the Beginners and Others
That's a good place to start, but you need to search and read still.

i think u have problem understanding me. i am saying that i want a guide that is for windows 8 specifically. since all the guides are for windows 7 and drivers are not supported in windows 8 yet.

I am not having a problem understanding you at all. I am running Windows 8 as well. The information is in there, but we do not hang around here to help out people who are too lazy to search.
I typed "Windows 8" into the search box, on the first page found [Q] HTC Desire S and Windows 8, the 4th post (by .BlAcK.) included a link to Install htc one x drivers on Windows 8 which looks to be what you need. Took me about two minutes.
Although, from what I remember last time I did this on my Win 8 machine, I didn't need to do anything other than run ADB.

That would be saved in your phone memory and you can access the file from pdf reader only as we don't have a file manager!

You may want to try running xp in virtual box. Had some issues yesterday with mine. Windows 7 and 8 Odin failed. With xp it worked. Currently running Linux mint 16.

I tried to use heimdall and had problems using it with the note 3. There are not any guides to do this or any that I can find. Where you able to root your note 3 with hiemdall?
I may try using virtualbox with xp like Danon suggested.
Thanks Guys

Oh and btw if u cant answer this just if u would help me to get root or cmw with this softrick

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You probably need to return your device to stock. Unfortunately there is very little information on XDA about your device. You can check on your manufactures web site or asking here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
