Just download the program and plug your phone up. The program (Kingo) will say what device is hooked up. Dont worry about clicking on your exact phone and downloading it that way. Just click the download button on the main page.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brwatters:
I am a bit confused.. How does this kingoapp Web site make money and pay their developers?.. If in fact this software is totally harmless and has no adware or back doors then what is their motivation?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
Worked perfectly. You do not need to be in download mode. Just regular boot. Fantastic.

Whats the difference between kingo and root de la vega????

And why is the root de la vega thread locked?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] agustincordoba:
I'm quite happy to carry on with stock Rom for the time being, I do want root so as to be able to use applications like Greenify,TB, Antutu and many others. One question though,I see in the title line that what is being discussed is AT&T version: mine is the international version and with no simlock. Can I also use this wonderful rooting program? Many thanks in advance

With Root de la vega ,,,,,It was the first way we could root (Had to do a bunch of steps)

With Kingo, you simply download the program and plug your phone up and hit ROOT....Done

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

When you download Kingo and plug your phone up, if it says your device type in the programs window, you should be good.

Kingo will not let you root if its not compatible

This was brought up on the AT&T S4 forum and the thread was closed momentarily and then reopened by a mod saying that the method was verified and source was given or something like that.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nate25:
already did that after the root. for some reason its not working no matter what i do. worked before on the other root method but not this one

edit: ok now im pissed off(excuse the french). i have factory reset everything and fully unrooted. i can not get the custom icon off my phone. gonna re root with the other way that i was before. ill report back. as far as im concerned this way sucks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
You need to reboot your phone (If you installed everything right with Xposed and Wanam.) I thought the same thing at first, but after a few reboots, the custom icon left and now says Official in status. I have done all root methods for this phone and Kingo is by far the best one, you just need to retry and make sure you follow each and every instruction to the tee. Not flaming, just telling you what helped me and others. Thanks man,,,,

GOOD LUCK
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nate25:
i went back with the other root method. just waiting for apps to get done updating and will try again. i did try about 20 reboots before i gave up lol

and one reboot after installing everything and were good to go. im not sure why it wouldnt work with this but o well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
Mine still says custom too. Until I uninstalled xposed and reinstalled it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nuclearrage:
followed this method on ATT version , now getting freezes after boot , play store and other apps not working. Was completely stock , no other root attemps .

edit/update

factory reset , rooted again , same thing , "com.google.process.gapps has stopped , play store no longer works , phone really flakey now.

Your mileage may vary
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] b0Ne83:
My device is completely fine. When I used titanium backup and tried to restore apps with data my phone started doing all kinds of weird stuff. So I went back to stock and did the whole process again. This time didn't restore any apps and deleted all of the bloat. Now I have way better battery life and device is running super smooth.

I would look into what apps you have installed...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ukic:
You have to run TiBU Restore Fix after you restore your apps or you will get errors. It's available in playstore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nuclearrage:
after 2 more tries i gave up..... bone stock factory reset.... only thing i can think of is that knox error message that is going around is causing the problem (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498586

Yes, this is what i used. I just manually pushed the file using ES file explorer. I'm using the "moderate" volume booster, basically the step 2 booster, and i've noticed that some of the sound becomes distorted coming from the speaker at max volume. I might switch to the step 1 volume booster. Didn't notice distortion on headphones or other line out sound.

so i went through the process a couple days ago for the root, it didn't wipe any data, it works great, but i know some root apps require a custom recovery, are we able to do that, sorry if i'm asking an already answered question, i'm new to the rooting process
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Deviatorz:
Does anyone know if this is safe? Xda usually frowns upon 3rd party apps that are not made by developers of xda members. I heard there is a possibility that it could steal your IMEI and other things. Has anyone looked into the source code? Something that seems to good to be true usually is......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] boogie2001:
I went through this process yesterday and everything went smooth. My At&t Note 3 is now rooted and I have superuser admin rights. Question for the experienced rooters and modders out there... The last device (Nexus 5) I rooted I was able to install TWRP recovery. Is it okay to do the same on this (GN3)?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
my root fails with kingo. Error screen on the PC shows ROOT Failed! ScriptError after trying to root.

Unchecked "verify Apps via USB" in the developer options hoping that would fix it, but no.

I note that every single time I attempt to root, I get that annoying error:

"Prevention Information: An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device.

It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized root. Check now?"

I am going to try and find the fix to remove that error caused by the Knox protection thingy.

Any links or other ideas appreciated. AT&T Note 3

Should I set aside my paranoia and root with Kingo?? Should I be worried that someone might take my identity?? or if the NSA will be collecting all my data?? :silly:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] powdered_donuts:
Kingo does work on note 3. I've used it on mine and my wife's and both our att galaxy tab 3s as there is no dev support for them
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
No, it doesnt work as of 1/9/2014 on the phone details below.

I dont know what I'm doing wrong .. I followed all instructions and still get the error "prevention notification" "an app is force closed because of an unauthorized attempt to access system" comes up every time I try to (unsuccessfully) use kingo to root. Kingo fail with Root FAILED ScriptError

- verify apps OFF

Any ideas appreciated.......... I dont want to flip that knox warranty trigger by doing the wrong thing (trying to avoid flashing..)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
We had originally pulled all links to kingo as they didn't meet our requirements for app safety and gpl compliance. XDA has since worked with the developers to create a safer and trusted application. If they had not been cooperative, these threads would still be closed.

TL;DR - kingo is now safe and OK to use.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
On what date did you download and use it?

What version of Kingo?

What baseband and android version on your phone?

I ask because Kingo is clearly not working due to KNOX preventing it

(prevention information error appears on the phone every time I try.

On Kingo it says ROOT Failed ScriptError)

I have an MJ5 AT&T version of GN3

I have the exact same issue. Extremely frustrated as I was supposed to get my phone yesterday (when this was working) and I didn't get it today and now I'm f'ed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
It may be safe but it is certainly not effective!

What does ScriptError mean when ROOT Fails in Kingo? I tried to submit this question to Kingo support through their webform but it is giving an 504 Apache error upon submitting :rolleyes:

If anyone got Kingo to work on an MJ5 GN3, please post here. But I highly doubt it.... it does not seem to be working at all now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
Script error just means there was an error, what it says after that is the issue. On that note, AFAIK XDA does not, in any capacity, provide technical support for kingo. You're limited to their support staff.

I used vroot, I know many frown upon it.

Installed TI backup, soft strap, and supersu (all from play store).

Knox flips out

Reboot and flash the debloater for the N3

Freeze the vroot su app

Open SU and update via normal

Reboot.

Freeze other Chinese app.

This was also the methodI used on my S4A as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
Thanks Sc0tty. Does your device still show 0x0 for the knox stuff on the odin flash screen?

When you say "knox flips out", do you mean the "prevention information" error in your notification bar, or something else?

Thanks for clarifying. I am afraid to try vRoot because I saw some mentions of an unfixable reboot-loop, and others saying it flips the counter and instantly voids the warranty.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazz0310:
Did you just use vroot today?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sc0tty8:
No idea on count, did not check. I have the "open padlock" on boot.

I get a notification that pops up on the screen.

No issue on reboot loop...also if you are at all interested in rooting or modding, throw the idea out the window you get to keep your warranty...risk vs. reward.

Yes. Like 10min before I posted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] silverfox_006:
Same error

I too am getting the "Root failed! script error".

Has anybody found a work around?

I disabled lookout

enable usbdebugging

Unknown sources on

verify apps off

security policy updates off

right after the fetching scrips it will go to waiting on device for like 1 millisecond and then show the ROOT FAILED!

Do you have Outlook Security running? If so stop it in the app manager and then try it again. Also make sure you watch the phone and answer the two questions when prompted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scottb7708:
I have tried everything as well and continue to get failed script error. Tried on 2 laptops. Still same script error.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
I finally got mine rooted.

I used vroot (scary because it was all in chinese characters). That at least worked, then I installed SuperSu, which took over rooting functions and even asked if I want to uninstall the other one and disable Knox.

Then I installed TiBu and used it to freeze the remaining Chinese app.

From there I was rooted like normal and could proceed with my TiBu backup loading.

I did not give a forced stop to Outlook Security because I ended up trying vroot before I saw that suggestion posted for the first time.

What I did do was end every other app that could POSSIBLY be causing the notifications, but Kingo still was not working.

So I suggest you guys just use vroot and follow as above. My rooting did not trigger the KNOX warranty void flag, it and the other are still 0x0 but now I am rooted finally!! took long enough...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] silverfox_006:
Did you use a specific how to guide? And where did you download vroot at? Also did you have Kies or Kies3 installed or Samsung mobile drivers installed?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
typed vroot in google and got it from the first non-xda result

http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

I did download the samsung mobile drivers from samsung. That you should always do so you have the right adb drivers on the PC. As long as there are no errors reported by windows as far as the drivers (notification in the tray), you should be fine

vroot is confusing bc its in chinese so be careful if you choose that route to root. But I can verify kingo was not working. Tried two 64x bit Win 7 PCs (I dont have any 32 bit anymore).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] silverfox_006:
Tried Kingo one more time and it worked on the second try lol. Only thing different was that I had full battery and I uninstalled Kies 3. :) i'll post my youtube video :)

Hi

I just did it successfully it asked me to install mtkcameraapp and later I got a message that root is unsuccessful but when I tried again I got a option to give root permission manually and I just granted that. I verified my knox counter is still intact only the system status became custom and I am getting a custom lock image while rebooting my galaxy note 3.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sn0rlacks:
so im a first time user and went in to super user and it asked to diable knox is it ok to disable it ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
You have no need to go into super user. It does all it needs to do on it's own. Knox (software) is serving no purpose at the moment. It is for a future implementation that Samsung plans for corporate customers to create a more secure network. Knox (hardware security) is something you can't touch and if you do touch and trip it, you will void your warranty.

The software part is doing nothing right now on your phone so just leave it alone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sn0rlacks:
awesome thank you for the information i will not touch it also what are some good apps to run with the root im so used to the iphone and jailbreaking ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ryaske:
titanium backup. It is what I needed root for, in order to import my apps and settings from the android phone this new one replaced

You just have to be careful to only import user apps/settings and not any system apps/settings. But you can use it ot backup everything if you want to do a factory reset temporarily to see if it fixes any issue(s) you have. (I had a headphone issue that I was able to eliminate from being software by backing everything up and then factory resetting the phone. When I get it back from SAmsung, I will import my backups and be exactly where I left off).

Lightflow is another great app. It lets you set custom RGB LED responses based on which app is notifying you. Much better than the stock LED options

ES File Explorer is great to browse your entire file system. Just be careful..

Greenify is a new app I just learned about which I want to give a try (requires root). I have not tried it yet though

you can probably search the market for "ROOT" and find some more apps

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
KitKat will overwrite the ROOT of course. You just have to hope that Samsung and AT&T has not secured KitKat in such a way that it can't be rooted. If Samsung holds true to their word the the Function side of KNOX software will rollout with KitKat and that means the system will have to be more secure and not modified to connect to corporate servers that use KNOX server side for system integrity and validation.

As long as it is not made more secure then Kingo should roll out a ROOT for it in no time as well.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
That was an older version, XDA has approved of the current version. Should be in this thread a page or two back where they said so. or one of the other umpteen million threads on this subject. Regardless many have used it including myself with no issue. Even if it did send your IEMI somewhere there is nothing they can do with it.
