That was a very good idea. I tried to use that method and i wasnt so lucky they had sent me one on 4.4.2 and i was so sick bout it. I was gettign ready to root my device again was so happy bout it but had got disappointed in it.. i just hate all the ads that be popping up. I really wanted to root it for titanium backup and lucky patcher. I really dont want the phone anymore with being able to root it. Adaway is what i needing.

If everyone of us here just left AT&T and samsung and headed to another device/carrier, don't you think that would make a difference? It is OUR fault for sticking with them even though they're pushing us away. As for me, this is my last samsung device and AT&T contract. IF I ever wanted to buy a Samsung device (which I highly doubt after seeing all these sick phones that are coming out now a days) then it would be with Tmobile.

Just got my note 3 a few days ago. It came with 4.3. I tried several times to root it using kingo 1.2.2 and it failed every attempt. After finding 1.1.8 i was able to successfully install root with 1 clickl.

For anyone needing the old version (version 1.1.8) of kingo.. no need to search for page 25.. (I dont even have a page 25).. here's the link.. http://www.mediafire.com/download/ubpss2sh2qrdwsq/android_root_v1.1.8.exe

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
What about this.. What if you used Vroot to root (Superuser Chinese language)

Can I just plug my phone up and run Kingo to replace it?

Or do I have to go back to stock and then run Kingo.

I want the SuperSU app from the playstore because its in English.

Anybody want to do this too?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
I did it....Here is what I did.

Uninstalled Superuser (Vroot Superuser used) using Titanium Back Up

Rebooted phone

Used Kingo Root

It asked if I wanted to uninstall root > Hit YES

Then reboot phone and Kingo.

Run Kingo and let the Root Begin !!!

It works and I have SuperSU now.....ENGLISH....

At&t Next and Root

The experience both of you had was due to the time period you owned the device. After 14 days you would have been directed to your local device support center where they most definitely check for root and other device damage. I work for at&t and we all had to take a training class on what to look for during the exchange of a Next device and custom firmware was a topic that they want everyone to know. Just flash back to stock and you should be fine but please be careful not to trip the flash counter..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tyiphius:
There's someone on one of the Note 3 forums who tripped the counter when rooting. Something happened to it and he brought it to be repaired. The guy checked for KNOX and saw it was tripped. Still said he'd take care of it. When the guy got back his phone the KNOX counter was reset. So there's a tool somewhere. Where there's a will there's a way right?

I'll look for the thread cause I don't remember the exact details

I never restore with data. That's crazy. By using this Kingo root method, you wont have to restore anything.

You just plug you phone up via the cord it came with and open the Kingo program. Hit start and it does it all for you.

Your phone will reboot and look like you never left it but, you will have root.

Hey man. I just checked this out. I see good comments, but when I went to the site on my phone and see the supported devices it doesn't show the at&t model. Upon clicking on the international version it says 404 error. This will work for our "at&t" model?

Here is a stupid question,...

Will this root method work on my Rogers Canadian w8 version?

Also, I dont think our bootloader is locked.

Perfect. Just what I have been waiting for. Didn't want to wipe my phone or reinstall my apps and this did the trick. I did have to disable Lookout for this to work (had no idea it was enabled in the first place) as it was blocking the progress of the root, but other than that, piece of cake...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seano666:

I rooted my phone using this method, downloaded it and rooted few months back. However I am on I think 4.2.2 and there have been a few apps I've wanted to try that will only work with 4.4.4. I do not have an issue with the stock rom, so I wondered if we rooted with this method, what option is best to try and update to a stock 4.4.4 rom?

Can someone link me to a simple guide on it's use if that is the correct utility? My kids were typing on my locksscreen which forced a factory reset.

For those keeping score at home...

I bought an AT&T Note 3 from e-Bay and it came with version 4.3. I postponed an update it was trying to push, even though I have no idea what it was trying to send, and was able to root it with Kingo 1.1.8

What I'm still not sure about is if will keep the root if Android is updated OTA. Reading through the posts gets confusing, what with the new versions breaking this that and the other thing. What actions with remove the root?

Thanks for the help
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 'droid:
OTA will break root access

My understanding is that the ATT OTA will break the root access. Best case is you will be able to reroot by running towelroot again, worst case is you may not have root access anymore. You did the safest thing by not updating to the OTA update if you want to keep root. My understanding is that ATT uses the OTA's to update the bootloader so as to make rooting more difficult the next time you try. My understanding is that Kingo no longer works with version 4.4 which the OTA would update you to.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] adamberns:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Go ahead and report me.

I've been here for a very long time and I am a RC on this forum. Kingo root is not made to root 4.4.2. If it did, then congratulations.

But do not tell people we don't have ROMs and threaten to report people when you are corrected on your misinformation. Knox has nothing to do do with Custom ROMs or the bootloader.

Go do some reading and learn what Safestrap is, go look in the development section and have a look at the ROMs we have.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 'droid:
ATT custom ROM's

Thanks for correction, that is what I meant. Unfortunately all of the ROM's seem to be touchwiz due to lack of bootloader root access. I much prefer AOSP ROM's but not sure if any are available for our N900A.

No I had an original G1, please I won't insult your intelligence by saying I know nothing about rooting, about installing a boot loader, or custom ROM, modifying system files. You can't install a bootloader or recovery to install a custom ROM with kingo it'll trip Knox. I'm happy with Samsung 4.4.2. Be happy already, I showed proof it works.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Dude... You gotta check out DynamicKat Extreme then. It's almost stripped of all things Samsung. Only the bare essentials are left. I also highly recommend DynamicKat 5.0.your battery will love you.

Yes they are all based on TW, but they are far better than the stock crap that comes on the device.

Trust me! I'm a doctor.

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Please listen... Knox is nothing important... It is only made for connection to enterprise business stuff. That's it.

Kingo was made to root 4.2.2,if you somehow made it work. Awesome... We have a new method called towelroot made specifically for 4.4.2

We also have something called Safestrap. It hijacks the boot process to allow the installation and booting of custom, TW based ROMs.

Knox does not get tripped, flash counter does not get tripped.

And anyways, we don't have anything that allows a full CWM, TWRP or Philz Recovery at all... So I don't know what you are going on about tripping Knox. Nothing we do touches the bootloader so Knox is never tripped.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] adamberns:
The main reason I choose kingo was simply that it will unroot your phone as well. A good path when Samsung releases 5.0. I like all the stock features S-pen. I Froze all non essential at&t & Samsung junk. I'm older now, I just want to have a reliable device. Not ROM testing.

kingo and towel root are not working on my newly acquired n900a

any help?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wayne8821212:
Hi Dovedescent,

I’m assuming that you have 4.4.4 since towelroot does not work so:

First you have to ODIN back to NC2. This will show you how to do that followed by rooting with towel root, installing busybox & safestrap version 3.75

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006

once you get to that point, you can choose NJ5 or NL1 versions of Android 4.4.4

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/att-nj5-safestrap-t2957471

NL1 is brand new (latest OTA)

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357

As you will see, you will have to flash the NC2 kernel to use Safestrap and as soon as your Recovery operation is completed (flashing a 4.4.4 rom, backing up a 4.4.4 rom or restoring a 4.4.4), you will need to flash the appropriate 4.4.4 kernel (either NJ5 or NL1) to be able to boot back into 4.4.4.

NL1 seems to have much better battery life on my phone.

Towel root doesnt work on my 4.4.2, so will nc2 fix this? I did have root before the last update, but cant remember what program it was.

I think it was a file I had to run on the sd card. Dont have the file now.

This also means I cant use titanium backup before I load nc2

Comments welcome.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Yes. If you flash nc2 you will be on a previous kernel that towelroot worked on.

Then you can root install safestrap, use a special safestrap update file and maintain root on the latest firmware. Again this is all in the post above I mentioned earlier.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
No, kingo is an outdated root exploit for the note 3. Right now root is fairly tricky on the note 3 it involves flashing old kernels and then back again. if you're buying out of contract I would recommend picking up a T-Mobile note 3 instead since it has an unlocked boot loader you can install recovery and obtain root that way.

Your s4, you cannot use Odin to reflash the firmware? Or just visit best buy and request it reflashed?

After reading again I noticed that this "issue" will only be related to devices that were not originally shipped with Android 4.3 and Knox already. In this case, S 3, S 4, Note II, etc...

Note 3 will not be affected by this "no upgrade anymore", since it already was developed with Knox.

"As we mentioned above, Devices like S4, S3 and Note II which came without KNOX will get the KNOX system.For example, S4 I9505 got about a month ago 4.2.2 update that includes KNOX-enabled system(MH1). If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."
