Yes sir! Unfortunately, I've been having a world of trouble with my file hosting at Android File Hosting - it was downloading corrupted so I re-uploaded it and downloaded it only to find it had the same problem...I'm currently re-uploading a second time. In the meantime I've got the file hosted from my Google Drive so I'll share that link and hope Google doesn't cut it off for too much traffic.

Here you go: See OP link

This is the MJ7 firmware - if you're on MJ7 you can't go back to MI9 so you'll have to use this file. If you're still on MI9 you can stay on it (though there 's no reason to want to) by using the MI9 link in the OP. Follow the instructions there and you'll be on stock firmware. Root instructions are also in the OP.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yes it will, assuming you don't proceed through the instructions below the large disclaimer about rooting. Before then you'll keep data and be on unrooted MJ7

I figured...I have been having a world of trouble with Android File Host...I can upload to Google Drive all day and not have any problems but ever since I switched to them (because Drive was limiting my downloads) I have had so many corrupted uploads it's sickening. I'm looking into Dev Host but waiting on a premium account authorization so as soon as I hear from them I'll be going over there. For now I'll start an upload of the MI9 to my Drive. Thanks for letting me know.

Tried rooting with Kingo and it said failed to root. Turned on phone this morning and I see the "unlock" symbol on the splash screen. Root checker says no root. Possibly because I haven't installed SuperSU yet?

Rebooted and now the unlock symbol is gone. Weird.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Both OP links updated with Google Drive hosting - Android File Host couldn't give me a clean upload after 5 attempts...too much time and energy wasted there.

I'm supposed to be receiving a premium membership to Dev Host so as soon as that comes through I'll be back on a true hosting site. Until then, my Drive may get limited so, in that case Muzhik has provided a mirror for the MJ7 tar. You can find it >>HERE<< as long as he keeps it up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sistemacaido:
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone was still getting the alert to update software even though you're on MJ7? Mine keeps popping up every day to update....

Any know fix?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
That's not really possible if you're truly on MJ7. Check Menu > Settings > About Phone > Build Number and let me know what it says.

Also, in the mean time, you can freeze the "SDM" app to stop the update reminders
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Well, that's odd. Outside of modifying the build prop I don't really know what could cause it to show the latest build and still say there's an update.

I'd have to recommend just freezing the app "SDM." If it's really an update then we need to determine rootability, etc. so I wouldn't try taking it...or you could try, if you're feeling very brave, to see what build number it's trying to push. If it's MJ7 and it's identifying your system as not having the latest, you could Odin the MJ7 from the OP and that should get rid of it permanently, but so will freezing SDM.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
I'm assuming you mean you tried to go back to MI9? That isn't possible after going to MJ7 with a locked bootloader (like all retail note 3's have). You may need to Odin the MJ7 tar again if it's acting up.

Stupid question I'm sure, but I've been reading a plethora of info and I'm getting confused...

I'm currently on MI9, stock, unrooted. Phone is literally out of the box. Can I just bypass the first three steps, accept the OTA update, and proceed directly to step 4?

If you want to root your note 3 but still be on the latest software, take the update than look on the general section there's a method to help you root the latest update from Verizon... I hope this helps you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yes sir, accept the OTA, start after the Red skipping all that you quoted and you'll be on MJ7 rooted :)

Thank you Dev-Host

I'm happy to announce I've gotten my Dev-Host Premium Subscriber status activated and am currently switching my hosting over - got a clean upload on my first attempt...Unfortunately a dozen or more didn't yield the same results at Android File Host, which is a shame - good service, just didn't like me! I'll give 'em another chance sometime in the future, but for now I'm in the process of uploading these very big files over at Dev.

MJ7 Stock Tar is uploaded and available here:

md5: c68c3f991c6ff6c651f4de1a5bd7c5e2

MI9 will be uploaded as soon as the crappy upload speeds on my end allow. To those who downloaded to find Odin throwing MD5 binary errors - Thanks for your patience through a couple corrupt uploads. Should be good to go!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nelms:
Ive look all over. and cant find definite answers. Im looking to odin my rooted mj7 baseband back to mi9 to check signal issues im having with mj7. how would i set up odin to do this? also do i need to be on my stock system or is doing this from my hyperdrive rom ok?

thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Andrew, first things first, you'll need to get the appropriate modem file from the OP

2) You don't need to be on any particular ROM to use Odin to install a modem - when you're in download mode, which you'll have to be in to use Odin, the device isn't booted into any particular OS or ROM slot so it doesn't matter.

3) Once you have the modem downloaded; power down your device. Once fully powered down, hold home and power and volume down together until a warning pops up, then hit volume up to confirm. You're now in download/odin mode. Plug the device into your PC with a trusted usb cable and wait for the "com" to appear in the upper left hand corner of the Odin software. After this is done click the "CP" box in the Odin software - navigate to the Modem you downloaded and select it. Once the "start" button is enabled in Odin click it and wait. After a short while you should see a green "PASS" box in Odin. That's it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nelms:
Thank you very much. The only issue Im having now is that the only checkbox not greyed out under Files [Download] is AP, when the phone is plugged in in odin mode odin says its been found under ID:COM it says 0:[COM6] im scared to try to flash under AP. what do you think?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
I'm not sure what's up with that but it's like that on my version of Odin as well.

Edit: Updated version of Odin linked in the OP with all needed functions available

I finally got some time to sit down and go through the steps. I got through the whole thing and everything seemed to go fine.

Only question I have is after I flashed the open source SuperSU in SS, will the icon and name of the SuperSU that Kingo put in place look to be the same and unchanged (same icon, name, etc)? Just want to make sure that I did indeed get rid of the closed source version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, it will look the same... The only real difference is where it came from - this one is straight from the creator of SuperSU Chainfire so we know it's legit. Probably overkill but not a bad idea, especially since it's free and takes no time at all. Glad it went well!

Awesome! Thank you for your help.

Only thing left for me to do is figure out how to get Android WiFi Tether running. I may follow the same path as I set up on my buddy's S3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Here's your answer about tethering http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2480705

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hackenstein:
I'm having a time with it. Would much rather stick with the original WiFi Tether app, but none of the settings I try seem to work. Anyone know if the devs are still supporting this app?

I did try FoxFi as well, and it stopped working after the first time. Strange.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yeah I believe they are. Over in beanstown's rom he just posted the preview change log for his 4th build coming out soon that had tether provisioning removed, so you won't be bothered about subscriptions even with the stock app.

If he's got it figured out I would imagine a stand alone mod is in the near future... If course you could just flash his rom too, it's a great one.

I'll look into it for sure. I'm so frustrated with the tethering thing. It continues to bewilder me that I have one of the best phones out there right now, rooted, and still I cannot tether no matter what I do.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Do you need a large screen timeout during the Kingo rooting step? I anticipate starting this process tomorrow morning and want to be better prepared.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
No, not really. There are a couple points at which it will say "waiting for device" in the Kingo window on your PC - I believe you need to wake your device for these but if you're paying attention you should notice. I have used Kingo a couple times now and never changed my screen time out duration.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
All right. If I get though Odin and Kingo it should be easy afterwards. I will report if i have any problems that need solving
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] WhiteReign:
Thank you so very much for a pain free root!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Kingo is not rooting my phone. Odin was painless. The current error message is too many devices. I need a more explicit set of instructions. I was unaware I had to be online for it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Hmm, that's odd...I've always had a quick, easy process using Kingo. The reason I don't have instructions for using Kingo is because the application you download has step by step instructions running in the program window on your PC. All you need to do is follow those instructions and pay attention to it during the few minutes it's running - there are a few times you have to wake the device.

If you're not getting past the "connecting" screen at the very beginning maybe try downloading the drivers for your device again (linked in the "handy files" section of the OP) - most people let them install from the phone but I've heard one or two people saying they needed to download them from an outside source to get things working 100%.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Dutchdogg I can connect but perhaps the Rsa popup comes up more than once and I am hitti ng it out of sequence? I have rebooted the win 7 laptop and phone several times. I have USB debugging on.

Edit: still get too many devices. Should I uninstall and reinstall kingo? Could the update notification be causing problems?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
No success at rooting. Do I take the Verizon update and try go root or use Odin to ho back to a rooted stock ROM apply SS and restore back to my saved ROMs?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
You know, I never looked too much at the developer settings before but did after reading your first post..."Too many devices" sounded really odd to me - I didn't know why that would be coming up...I think I may have found what the problem was. If you go to Menu > Settings > Developer Options you'll see an option directly under USB Debugging to "Revoke USB Debugging Authorizations"...I'm guessing you must plug your device into several computers/etc and you must have reached some arbitrary limit as far as devices it lets you authorize. Click this option and revoke the permissions of all the devices you connect to I bet Kingo will work. You can always give authorization to the devices you need to connect to whenever you hook up next.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Dutchdogg I have checked that option and will try to root this afternoon ET. Should I expect only one popup authorization during the rooting process?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yes, once you authorize the pc that's using the USB debugging you shouldn't get another "authorization" style pop up - but there is a time or two when Kingo will say "waiting on device" - for example, when you achieve root it will wait for you to tap "grant" on the supersu pop up before proceeding. Just watch it work the whole time and keep an eye on the device and you should be good to go, especially if you cleared the list of devices like you said.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I will keep an eye on both displays. Maybe hit the stay awake during charging flag?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
You shouldn't have to but whatever helps. For me it only took 2-3 minutes start to finish to root each time I've done it (4 now) so I just touched the screen every few seconds, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I am getting the same results. Do you suggest i take the update and try to root again? If I cannot root should I use Odin to install a rooted file so I can go back to running custom ROMs?

Edit: I noticed there is Odin mode on the first panel. Am I suppose to be in download mode for this to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
What build are you on currently? I believe you need to be on MJ7 or MJE to use kingo... Not 100% sure on that though as I used root de la vega when I was on MI9, never needed to try other methods.

The next logical step if you're not able to get rooted would be to Odin MJ7 then try kingo again. If that doesn't work you've got some special circumstance going on. Hope that does it amigo!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I just used Odin with the MJ7 file in the OP this morning. What do I do now? Take the OTA and try again or is there another method to achieve root? It would be awful to be running stock for the life of this phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
You won't be running stock - there's no way your device simply couldn't be rooted...if that were the case your device would have to have some hardware problem the you could most likely turn into insurance.

Once you Odin to a stock mj7 try Kingo again...You may want to re-download the kingo app just to be safe. You never know, downloads/uploads get corrupted all the time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I do not understand. You want me to use Odin to reflash the same MJ7 file as I did this morning. Then redownload kingo and try again to achieve root?

Should I try vroot first?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] brian13206:
Hmm I got the ora and have the new baseband but kernel loos the same
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] drecu:
I flashed the MJE Modem through odin and it still shows MJ7 when I go under settings. I'm running Hyperdrive Rls4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vick1377:
I used kingo on mj7 successfully. It took few tries to get the device recognized after I enabled usb debugging. I haven't taken the mje update yet will do tomorrow:). Builds prior to mj7 you could root with other method but after mj7 and onwards you can only do with vroot (which I have never used) or kingo. Good luck. Hopefully you get through it after few tries:). No way you want an android device unrooted lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
If you're on stock MJ7 from Odin that you just did this morning then the next step is to accept the MJE OTA . Go Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Update and download and install MJE

Once that's done then try Kingo again. If Kingo continues not to work then try a different PC, try a different USB cable, make sure you can access the phone's internal storage from the PC before running kingo (open a file explorer and make sure the phone is connecting appropriately) - this ensures you have proper drivers on the computer. You could try "vroot" which is another root technique similar to Kingo. I haven't used it though so I can't provide support. If all this doesn't work then I really don't have any other ideas. Hope you get it this time man!

Well that's strange - check out this post where somebody posted their about phone on MJ7 vs. MJE - the kernels are different, just slightly. Double check yours against these. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48386818&postcount=119

Not sure how that could happen. I'd retry it and if it still doesn't work then redownload the modem and md5 check it before flashing. Make sure to use the CP slot of the newer versions of Odin.

I'm not sure if you meant to quote me, but glad you got things up and running!

My bad it's just this stupid xda app I don't have premium :). It selected someone else lol:). I'm still on mj7 didnt do the update yet. KaChow on droit has posted awesome step by step instructions. I plan on doing that tomorrow :)

Dutchdog taking the OTA would be easy as it has been nagging me all day...

I checked that I can view copy delete with the same laptop and USB cable. I have to get a new copy of kingo but found vroot and will try it before I take the OTA. I will try one more download of kingoapp as well .

I shouldve checked this before asking again...according to the post you sent me to the 3.40 nov 11 one (Which I do have) is the latest build.. I just figured it wouldve had a later date... thx for replying ...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Dutchdogg (and others) I need some explanations and advice. Downloaded kingo and ran with the same results. Downloaded and ran vroot. After several minutes got rooted. I activated recovery on SS and rebooted to recovery. Flashed SuperSU but did not notice until afterwards that I ended up in slot 1. How did that happen? I also did not take the OTA so should I take it and Try to reroot or wait a while?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Yes, might as well get the update while you're as close to stock as possible. Not sure how you were unintentionally in slot one but I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you have your main setup on slot one and you want it on another then just do a backup and restore it after switching slots. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I was unclear. During the post root process I was shifted from the stock slot to rom slot 1. That is where I am now. I am concerned about the ability to reroot after the OTA plus all ROMS may not run on that baseline.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Your MJE will be able to be rooted, nothing to worry about - I and countless others have rooted MJE, nothing changed in the rootability of this build...though that will not necessarily always be the case. I'd recommend waiting to hear confirmation before ever updating to confirm it's still rootable.

All roms will update to the MJE baseline eventually so you'll be able to run them all, it'll just be a matter of days for devs to update things. Clean Rom is currently on MJE - I saw you're planning on going onto it so you'll be good to go for the time being anyway. As far as the slot situation - just do what I mentioned before, backup your slot one setup and restore on the slot of your choosing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
I would be more confident if it did not take all day to reroot after Odin. I think I will sit on MJ7 for a few more days then revert to the stock slot and take the OTA. No clue what to do if vroot fails.

Vroot seems to be a Chinese rooting PC executable. Most people have success with Kingo but I did not. You should be able to find some XDA posts on it, but you will have to Google to find the download. Look for vroot_1.6.0.3690.setup.exe.
