Factory reset should be fine..... As far as supersu you will need the pro version! Before the update check survival mode and uncheck enable superuser reboot then take the ota update allowing it to reboot on its own....... Now go back into Supersu and check enable Superuser..... And that's it! Root will survive the ota thanks to Chainfire!

Just unfroze everything, checked survival mode, unchecked enable SU, unchecked all modules in exposed, reboot. Used triangle away to disable root at boot (just in case)

Download OTA, let it do its thing.

Phone rebooted, upon reboot it says update was interrupted but when checking for OTA it says I'm up to date and I see a few new things in tibu. Guess it worked.... SU enabled! :thumbup:

Answer: Why your update fails at 27%

So, I kept going over in my head: "What did I change on this device besides root"? I just KNEW there was something in the back of my head. If ONLY I could knock it OUT!

Here's the deal. I had changed just ONE file in System/Apps. In my case it was Tetheringprovision.apk which I grabbed from an S4 hack since someone stated it worked perfectly on the Note 3 (It did) Fortunately for me I had saved the old Tetheringprovision.apk as testheringprovisionapk.bak as well as tetheringprovision.odex.bak Mind your situation will differ, as it can be ANY system/app item - or for that matter any system file period, in multiple locations.

What I believe is happening is the update does a read of your system before starting to write to the partition. Any changed system files and it calls off the deal. Think! What else have you changed? If you have done a lot of theming and customizations since rooting, you are probably better off going back to stock with the OneClick.exe /Odin method,

But remember: You do NOT have to lose ROOT: If you cannot restore every file or apk thats been modiffied, just use the Unroot/restore to stock directions here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-at-galaxy-note-3.html

Then root again with Root De La Vega (I would NOT mess with Kingo, I don't care who says "It's Fine" any method that sends MY IMEI to an unknown location is NOT happening. AFTER you root again, just don't touch anything, Get SuperSU Pro ($2.15 and totally worth it) Check the "Survival Mode" and Update to your OCD hearts content. I say that because ONLY a true OCD soul will have gone this far :eek:

Give me a thanks if this works for you. I tried the update about 6 times before I got mad and figured this out. Good luck, and be careful out there!

Keep in mind, Kingo is considered to be untrustworthy to most people. Also, read through this thread on whether or not you should update. I was initially rooted with RDLV and updated. Forgot to check Survival Mode in SuperSU, so my root broke. Everything went ok though.

Hey everyone, I took the OTA update when it popped up this week, without having rooted yet. *#1234# gives me the following info:

AP: N900AUCUBMJ5

CP: N900AUCUBMJ5

CSC: N900AATTBMJ5

I see many of you have successfully re-rooted after the OTA update, but I was wondering if anyone has successfully rooted for the first time after the update, and whether or not it trips KNOX?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadymon53:
Does anyone have a link for the N900AUCUBMJ5 update that I can Odin side load. I'm rooted and having a heck of a time getting the ota update to finish. I tried everything that was suggested! Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonzorito:
I think I know the answer, but here's my scenario:

At&t galaxy note 3

1.Out of the box I rooted with a at&t DLV guide method successfully (i did not hex it myself with the universal guide).

2.Made a noob mistake and took the OTA without survival mode (dl'd the free version on my note 3 by accident)

3. Now I'm "MJ5" on AP, CP, and CSC

So just to confirm - I will trip KNOX, with any root method other than the debated king method if I attempt?

Includes Universal DLV (hexing my own), or reapplying my original DLV file - believed now impossible because the OTA took me to "MJ5"

So I can go back to a lower firmware - but because of "MJ5" a rooted option isn't available me unless I want risk the kingo route?

Originally I thought oh big deal OTA, I'll just reapply my DLV firmware. SU with survival, and retake the OTA the way I should have in the first place....

So now with "MJ5", do I just have to wait patiently for the discovery of another root method that maintains KNOX?

I may wait another week - then I'm giving KNOX "the two birds" and rooting it anyway.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazman325:
KNOX isn't the problem. Locked bootloaders prohibit downgrading. You will soft brick your N3. You will just have to be patient until an odin is available for MJ5, or use the Kingo method which may be malware(?). Don't do anything you will regret later.

Question, so does anyone regret upgrading? I mean is it worth it, I heard somewhere that the upgrade adds some security to make it harder to find a unlock method to the bootloader... Thanks in advanced...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonzorito:
Thanks for the input I appreciate it!

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

My pen input is smoother for sure. Stock Keyboard is black - I think those are the only major differences. It's debatable. If you buy super user pro and have survival mode, you can easily retain root and update - losing some flexibility to go back until people develop options around mj3 and up (I think it's 3). I don't think we will be waiting long. Wish I could retain root with the update without having to resort to king. You are rooted buy the pro version of SU and enable survival. Don't make the same dumb mistake I did.

Bingo!

This post was actually quite useful and got me thinking... I had changed my build.prop file when I installed the ViPER4Android FX app & driver!! I had only uninstalled the driver the previous attempts I tried the update but it would still fail... Thankfully, ROM Toolbox had kept a backup of my build.prop file, so I restored it, uninstalled the V4A FX driver, enabled Survival mode on SuperSU Pro... and Wah-La! The update got passed the dreaded 27% and installed successfully. I didn't even unfreeze any of the apps I had 'disabled' under the App Manager...

So, if your update still fails, like SmartAs$ said, think real hard on what system changes you may have made, and don't forget the build.prop file..!

MJ5 to MI9 to MJ5

If I don't have root and am on the MJ5 firmware can I use the One-Click to revert to MI9 stock without tripping the KNOX flag?

If so that means that I can go through the DLV supersu survival mode process to update the MJ5 once again while not triggering KNOX?

EDIT:

I tried to revert back to MI9 One-Click but failed. KNOX didn't trip everything still safe just have a boot screen with a padlock with the word custom on it.

Is KINGO the only way to root for now or does DLV still work for MJ5? Is KINGO deemed safe now and has no security issues like doing something with the IMEI?

Reflashed by Samsung Service Center SM-N900A AT&T Galaxy Note 3 GPS signal lost issue

I had the same issue post update. GPS signal first lost within 4 minutes, then on reselecting GPS from the notification area, it works for another 20 min, then again lost GPS signal. This happens more when connected to charger - my observation.

Today, as directed by AT&T, I went to Samsung repair Center, and they 're-flashed' the operating system. My unit status is still 'custom' after that. On the way there to Hurst, TX (32 miles drive ~ 40 min), I lost GPS signal 4 times. On the way back, after the service, GPS kept good all the way (~50 min).
