[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mattitude:
Coming in late here guys but just to recap.... my phone shipped with 4.3.x and thanks to my lovely woman doing what in her eyes was the favor of downloading my update to 4.4.x and installing it on my phone I have now lost any hope to root my phone and enjoy roms as I always did on my note 2 as the note 3 with the official 4.4.x update has now effectively passed away any hopes I had for rooting my new device.... do I have my facts straight?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] californiarailroader:
U

For the moment, yes, but I'm positive they'll get root for 4.4 soon, this is XDA after all.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mattitude:
My only silver lining... "this is xda after all"... This has to be the single largest collaboration of amazing devs and fellow enthusiasts. .. I'm sure a loop hole will be found soon. .. thanks for the reply sir
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BR7fan:
I just got my replacement phone from AT&T it had the MJ5 on it. I was so relieved to get root back. My old phone had KK on it, which was my fault. I wanted to see what the KK looked like on AT&T.

So am I correct in saying that Kingo Root will not work on 4.4.2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Honeybadger:
Yes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rekamyenom:
That sucks..... What is Samsung thinking by locking these bootloaders and putting all this security on these phones. I guess I need to draft up a class action Law suit against Samsung for this, I know I would win. These are our phones, the shouldn't be able to lock down something that we own. They need to just do like HTC and allow us the option to unlock the bootlaoder at the cost of voiding the warranty.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
It isn't Samsung. It is the providers forcing them to do it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Honeybadger:
How much malware is going Android might be part of it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rekamyenom:
That Sux
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
That has nothing to do with it.

I have been on Android for years and have never had any sort of attack on my security. Even when I use no security at all.

It's because providers want to score corporate accounts and need serious security for them. They however don't care about the typical end user and really don't care about the development crowd.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Honeybadger:
Ok, just benefit of doubt. I am willing to go with your view. Never had an attack either in 8 years.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killacam1989:
Yea I agree. Android is made of Linux commands. Linux is a free open source project and everyone contributes to it. Each part composed of something random that any normal hacker could not hack. Windows System phones and computers are more generic and are easier for hackers to crack because their systems are so predictable. I have yet to hear of serious security threats on Linux programs much less Android.

People wondering if they can root on 442. That's the direct link to the developers bounty on an unlock, root, and/or workaround. Did you really not understand that?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
There is proprietary ssl, and to my knowledge it has yet to be cracked. Mainly due to the fact that openssl is free and used by almost everyone, but still...

Try kingo 1.1.8, that worked for me. Also check usb debugging, close all apps that might block kingo, and set your display timeout to 10 minutes.

I am getting a replacement Note 3 from AT&T tomorrow and hopefully it will have 4.3 on it. If it does this method will still work correct? Right now I have Kingo Root version 1.2.2. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
It should work. If it doesn't try 1.1.8 that on works for sure. Let me know if your replacement note 3 comes with 4.3.

yes only version 1.1.8 roots note 3 from att on 4.3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] armyms25:
I recently got a replacement and it came with 4.4.2 unfortunately
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
Before I made the mistake and plunged into the unrootable KK NC2, I was on 4.3 NB4, which I did root using the latest Kingo root software available. I do understand though many individuals, for some reason or another, couldn't get it to work, so they used the 1.1.8 version.

However, I was successful with using Kingo's version 1.2.1. Obviously, I don't know about the v1.2.2 out now since NC2.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theonlyrick:
Successfully rooted Kingo

Just to say I had a network-free Galaxy Note 3 that I bought pretty soon after it was released (which means it had an firmware). I didn't update it to KitKat.

I rooted it with Kingo app a couple of weeks ago. It took a few attempts because there was a problem with Kingo's website, but it did root fine.

I was nervous because it felt like Kingo could do bad stuff to my phone from a data privacy & security perspective, but I've seen nothing to suggest that anything bad has happened.

I've got some apps frozen, I've got the screen density increased, I've got MultiWindow working like a charm. In short, I'm a happy bunny. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vanemburghj:
I swear reading this thread is like asking my wife a question

You get every answer you want except for the question you asked; so can you root 4.4.2 with Kingo Root or not? It really is a simple yes or no question that results in simple yes or no answer.

Thanks,

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] djfrost40:
Ok....lets just put it to rest once and for all. If you have the ATT Galaxy Note3 and you updated to 4.4.2..you might as well have an very large iPhone... As far as being able to root it on 4.4.2...it's NOT happening...ever. So if you don't mind having a really expensive plastic phone that can't be developed anymore but the software is more solid then before, then keep the phone. If you are into developing your phone...the ATT version of the Note 3 running 4.4.2 is not the phone for you because all development has stopped on this 4.4.2 version of the phone...more than likely for good.

Personally speaking I think the Note 3 is as good as it gets for Samsung. ATT can't give away the S5 because consumers are getting smarter and smarter when it comes to buying smart phones. They know a gimmick enriched software wrapped in cheap plastic phone when they see it now. This is just my thoughts...but if Samsung doesn't do something to provide a better built phone with a premium feel I think it will be down hill for them. HTC is on the right track and have always been they just need to polish there software a little more and put Samsung to shame. Now if Apple comes out with a larger iPhone then that will total change the game. Although you can't really develop the iPhone it will drive up sales for them if they decide to step into the 21st century and make a larger display.

But back to the Samsung Note 3...All I can say is that ATT got us good this time but hopefully we all have learned to stop buying from them...it's the only way ATT is going to learn to stop taking away the consumers rights.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Russ77:
I've had many many android devices and have used just as many stock and custom Roms.

my must recent phones have been s3, s4, s5; and my who m wife has had the note 2 and 3.

the s3 was great, s4 was an s3 in a slightly better package and a bunch of cheesy gimmicks. I'm loving the s5. in comparison to the note 3, there very similar with the s5 having a few more features. I like the new UI and settings options.

I recently quit the custom ROM game for a few reasons and can honestly say that most ANY OEM ROM is pretty good these days. this ain't the froyo or gingerbread days anymore... the only thing I used root for on my s4 was adaway. adblock + and 2 minutes of reading got me the same result AND a warranty that's still valid.

I rooted my note 3 successfully and i am wondering what app should i get after root. And if i want to un-root my note 3. Is there anyway not to use De la venga way to get it back to official, guys ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I recommend downloading Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, and Wanam Xposed from the Play Store. You'll Xposed Installer (search XDA and you'll find the download link for it) to install Wanam. Those are the must have apps for any rooted phone in my opinion. If you want to flash ROMs you'll need Safestrap (visit the development section and you'll find a thread all about it).

The only way I know of to unroot your phone and get back to 100% official is the MJ5 restore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AnmiacAndroid:
Thank for quickly reply, do I need Safetrap when I am using room stock and I just rooted my phone to disable some freaking system app which is draining my battery real fast. And factory reset doesn't wipe my room stock make me doubtful a little bit because I read some threads from other guys who said after the factory reset, their phone stuck at AT&T logo which meant no room in their phone. I don't know how to fix if this thing happen to my phone :(

Hello.

I'm trying to root my device using Kingo root and i keep failing.

I got the following phone details:

Model Number SM-N900A

Version 4.3

Baseband version N900AUCUBMJ5

Kernel version 3.4.0-1625098

Build number Jss15j.n900aucubmj5

What version of Kingo root should I use? what should I try differently?

Thanks.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-prodigo:
1.1.8
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] josef19:
Thanks il try :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AnmiacAndroid:
Does anyone un-root using Kingo ? Does it work ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
You do not need Safestrap to disable any system apps. You'll need Titanium Backup Pro to do that. The app was like $6 when I bought it, but it was well worth it.

A factory reset will only wipe out the data, so your phone will be like it's fresh out of the box. You'll have to redownload all of your apps, set up your Google account, etc. Wiping the system is what will delete your ROM and your phone will not boot until you do the MJ5 restore. The beauty of Safestrap is you can make a back up and restore it if you ever make this mistake. Or if you have a custom ROM saved on your phone you can flash that and it will replace /system if you don't have a backup.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AnmiacAndroid:
Thank for saving my life :D. However, i really don't understand the wiping system thing ? Does it for rooms and anything else when you have to put the phone in download mode to wipe it ? I apologize for having so many dumb questions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I don't fully understand your question, but I think you're asking if putting it in download mode will erase your phone?

Putting your phone in download mode won't erase your phone. The only way to completely wipe out your phone to the point of it not booting is by wiping the system partition with Safestrap.

Before you begin using the apps I mentioned, I recommend reading about them, what they do and the dangers/benefits of using them until your eyes bleed. It's a steep learning curve, so take your time and research before trying anything you don't fully understand. Bricking a $700 phone is not fun...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kangi26:
Yes, I rooted with Kingo 1.1.8

BUT When(if) you root. DONT UNINSTALL bloat, use Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the apps. If you decide to unroot, Un-freeze the apps first
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Honeybadger:
1.1.8 seems best, also before freezing, use application manager/stop application. That shouldn't break unrooted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrpurplehawk:
I probably am just having a brain fart, but where can I download 1.1.8? I have 1.2.2 and I can't seem to get it working

Yes, 700$ is what i want to keep. I sometime factory reset my phone to make it fresh one and i really don't want root cause any problem to my phone since i have rooted it.

One more question: Would you please show me what system app is not necessary on my at&t note 3. My battery is draining real fast and i just want to freeze some app instead of changing room. I am living in asia.

That comment fits your name.

And just because a new device launches, doesn't mean the previous model just shuts down and becomes worthless. Not to everyone will jump to the new device. Some can't afford it and have to wait for either money, or an upgrade.

That attitude is what kills development. It may not matter to you, or Joe Blow in a different device forum, but it will still be important to a ton of us. Even those of us (myself included) who plan on upgrading on launch day. Development doesn't stop with new releases.

I agree even with Not3 4 coming out the Note 3 is still solid and should still be for a good 2-3 years.

32gb storage, 3gb ram, 1080p display, S-pen and 2.3 snapdragon 800... we've reached a point where any more powerful hardware is overkill..

Perhaps to compensate for more and more bloat with locked/unrootable OS updates...

Some peeps are still rocking S3's to show you that hardware that is a couple of years old can still be relevant...

As of the snapdragon 600/800 I think we've finally reached a plateau hardware-wise.
