[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
One quick question. For step 10 do you put the zip file on internal or do you unzip and place the folder 1 and file rldv.sh on the internal.

In addition since I have MJ5 already I will be starting at step 5. Is the phone in download mode for step 5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JAMedlock83:
This freakin works! I bricked my Galaxy Note 3 last night. Would boot to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo and just stay there. I followed instructions and BAM! Did not trip Knox Counter, and its Samsung Official. . THANK YOU!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ywsing:
it works. Thanks for the detail instruction.

It saved my note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
Need help. ATT MJ5 noite 3. Started at step 4 because I dont have any of the stuff on the computer. Installed drivers and got the message "drivers installed successful". Then I go to the heimdall frontend and keep getting the "cant detect device" I tried installing all three drivers and different usb ports. The drivers all install successfully put I can detect a downloadable device. Im on a windows 7 64 bit. I enabled the usb debugging. I dont know what else to do.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Is your phone in download mode while trying hemdall?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JAMedlock83:
do not unzip the files. the Note will do that automatically when you run them from the recovery :) And yes, Step 5 is Download Mode :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
Yes it is in download mode. (Boot holding down power, home and volume down buttons)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
While in Dl mode and hemdall open, unplug and replug in USB (from the PC side and see if that helps. I remember there was something that had to be done but wasn't extremely clear in the notes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
I did that several times and in diferent ubs ports.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Strange....

You also did the important step of step 5? Oh man, I think I recall doing that step with the phone on, not download mode, that's how hemdall sees it.... I think that's how I did it, trying to retrace what I did now and reading the op again
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JAMedlock83:
I think you can start all over and it won't hurt anything.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
[MENTION=2322344]evilpotatoman[/MENTION] are you going to do what you did to the 4.3 build to the newly released 4.4 build. That way we can get some root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] crackychan:
Quick Question

On Step 10 right now: I'm receiving this message while trying to run SuperSU.

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relative forums for your device!"​

I factory reset the phone to try again, repeating the instructions-- On step 3, but Odin cannot seem to recognize my phone now. Made sure to enable USB debugging after the factory reset as well. Heimdall Frontend does detect it.

Any ideas?

Update: Never mind, deleted the file and folder from Step 10 and works fine now. I'll leave this post up incase anyone searches for the error phrase.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
To be honest, I'm working on something even more useful for us :)

I haven't upgraded yet
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Free phones? World peace? Please say it's a custom recovery and you found a way to unlock the bootloader. (Even if it's not true, reading it will feel so nice.)

Can I update my note 3 ACUCBMI1 using this? I want to update to MJ5 cant do an OTA Please help
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
I'm on AT&T and wanna buy a note 3 but hesitating between the t mobile version and the at&t version because of development and price. It's the development satisfying with AT&T?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
for best data coverage I would stay with AT&T, development is like with any rom, takes time.. kitkat is already running on AT&T (N900AUCUCMLG 4.4.2 KitKat) and you can bet soon as root works there will be custom roms poping up ..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
But is it fairly easy to root the AT&T version and are the Rom good? What about Knox?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
4.3 is easy to root, there is a fews diffrent ways, easiest is kingo, then there's Root de la Vega [SM-N900A KNOX 0x0] and also this thread you or already in.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
What about recovery and flashing roms? That's what is really important to me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Flashing roms is easy using Safestrap, all this is easy, hopefully your new phone doesn't have KK lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
Hopefully it won't lol. Thanks! Will give the AT&T version a shot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
I was being funny, it won't have KK yet, it hasn't been officially released yet, you have plenty of time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
Oh ok lol, you got me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I have used HTC phones from the beginning and this phone not being HTC is the cadilac:good: I can read and hear it !!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] compmomnc:
I get to step 6 , have loaded pit file and the fixed img files downloaded from op.... I press start and after about 10 seconds Heimdall crashes way before the 90-95 percent that is cautioned about during the instructions.

I am in download mode, successfully got past odin and trying to bring a stable mj5 to my note 3... I still get those darn pen error messages and I have mi9 sytem with mj5modem unbalanced specs like most people involved in this thread.

What is causing Heimdall to prematurely crash? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

What OS are you on?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
this is great news. Q: Is there a way to get all the way back to MI9? The reason I ask is that MI9 allowed the regionlockaway exploit. I am on 4.42 and both this and MJ5 didn't allow regionlockaway to work...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tazman171:
Thank you for this evilpotatoman, used it on my AT&T SM N900A to get to mj5 and then rooted it using Kingo. Worked great! :cool:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hilmi94zul:
can you do it for sm-n9005?

so sorry for this post!

but i'm a newbie i root with kingdroid but i was trying to install the recovery and i get the encryption fail error. the phone is kind of mess up with force closing and stuff all i want to do is put it back to stock at&t 4.3 rom i read all the instructions but i'm not a developer to understand quite the language BTW sorry for the bad spelling. and thank you in advance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
I tried this last night, and I had a problem with the front-end recognizing the device. Even Any suggestions on how to get this taken care of? Is there an issue with Windows 8 (64-bit) and getting this to work?

Stuck at step 5)......I seem to not be able to open Heimball 1.4.0-win32 and can't install vcredist_x64.exe but x86.exe installed ok, I tried Heimball 1.3.2-win32 and it opens and allows me to go through the set up stages, then I click start then it reads:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Did you right click and run as administrator? I also think the phone needs to be in download mode, can't remember atm
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Arun1314:
Yes in download mode but I will try to run as Adm. didn't see that in write up.

Help!! I try to flash back to JB but odin stop at setup connection. I try to change usb port , change usb cable and pull the battery out but still hang in setup connection! Somebody help me!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
Still have not been able to detect the phone in heimdall. I have a windows 7 64bit computer. I have installed all the different drivers. It always says the drivers where installed successfully. I tried different cables usb ports. I just tried a windows XP computer but heimdall wont run on a windows XP 32 bit computer. Any suggestions?? I really wan to root without using Kingo. Also tried running as admin.

You need to install both the 32-bit and the 64 bit vcredist. I got stomped on that one as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Here my friend. Very first step.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
Thanks guy!

I'm still stuck on Step 5 Mine says error
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
That's because you have to use zadig to change the driver to usb0 or something like that. Look for libusb0. I don't know the exact name but it has a 0 at the end.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
Ok...I'll try that.

EDIT: That worked. The instructions on the OP should be changed, because it says for us to use the WinUSB drivers....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Did you boot your phone into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power button?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
Yes Sir

It just detect I guess it doesnt play nice with usb 3.0

Did you install drivers from here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956

On Step 7 it says boot into recovery mode. Does that mean safestrap which isnt there or download mode?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
No it means. Press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons to boot into stock recovery.

While download mode is Volume Down + Home + Power ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
awesome I got everything loaded. I just keep getting unfortunately, direct pen unput has stopped now
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Reboot couple of times or go back into stock recovery one more time and do factory reset.

Tried to do mj5 att update and it froze and rebooted at 26%
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
Im still cant get heimdall to recognise my phone. Does Odin have to be installed on your computer for heimdall to see your phone in download mode. I skipped step 3 because I am already on MJ5 so I dont need to flash partions.

Another question if I do flash new partions and heimdall still doesnt see my phone will I mess anything up by just flashing the partions and nothing else.

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
I had the same issue make sure you do step 4 and make sure your not using a usb 3.0. Hope that helps
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nicman857:
I did step 4. I installed all three drivers. I always get drivers successfully installed everytime and them I open the front end and click detect and it says device not found. I have also tried usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 cables in both ports and also plugged and unplugged the cables after the driver where installed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
Hi [MENTION=2322344]evilpotatoman[/MENTION], I just wanted to find out from you if there was a technical reason that your script removes Knox apps (namely, if leaving them will trip the knox flag in the bootloader). Is it safe for me to leave the Knox apps in place? Ideally, I'm looking to have a 100% stock system with the exception of only the bare essentials required for root. That means I only want su, daemonsu, and the modified install-recovery.sh on my system partition. I can install SuperSU off of the Play Store, and I have no use for busybox. If you could let me know on the Knox apps, I'd appreciate it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
Good question. I also want to know if I can remove those files that I have on the root directory...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
As an update, I modified the script to remove all references to busybox, Superuser.apk, and Knox apps. All it does now is install su, daemonsu, and the modified install-recovery.sh (after moving the stock install-recovery.sh to install-recovery-2.sh). Everything else stays 100% intact. I let it boot up to install the stuff, then rebooted again, installed SuperSU from the Play Store, ran that and let it do its thing. I'm fully rooted and everything appears to be working just fine. The "custom" flag is tripped in the bootloader, but not Knox or warranty, and you can fix the custom status by installing Triangle Away and using the "modified system workaround" option. :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
Is there a way that I can get a copy of that script?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
Here you go. Just rename this file to take ".txt" off the end of it. I had to name it .txt so XDA would let me upload it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
:good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
I followed all the steps in post 1 and my phone has no data, doesnt do the mj5 update and keeps force closing direct pen input has stopped you have a clue. I've tried the post 1 steps at leave 8 times and phone always ends up the same way. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
This RLDV root method really concerns me. It should concern anyone that you can simply put any shell script called rldv.sh into the root of your internal storage and have it run with root privileges at boot. I'll take "how the hell did that get past QA" for $200, Alex.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
So upon further reading, it looks like the firmware has to be prepped somehow before the RLDV method will work. Question is, if that's true, does that mean that this MJ5 restore isn't 100% stock?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
Yes this method does not work. I've did everything and cannot get my phone to work again :crying:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
Oh the method itself works just fine. I got my phone back to stock, then rooted it with no issue. I'm just curious what was done to the firmware to "enable" RLDV. If something had to be changed, then it means the restore isn't 100% stock, and that could have OTA implications in the future.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tazman171:
On page 1 or 2 the OP stated that this is a modified version of MI9 and MJ5. I skipped the rldv method and just used Kingo for root and everything is fine. :cool:

BTW, I noticed an applypatch.bin file on one the mirrored download link, it takes care of the csc files and the RLDV part I believe but isn't mentioned as a required file to download.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Herc08:
Just picked mine up today. And I must saythat I reallylike it so far,Looking at rooting-it seems a bit complicated.With other Galaxy phones odin was a lot eaiser.Being that this is fresh Out of the box is there a new update that I should be aware of? I'm used to HTC phones and dealing with fast boot. I did a few Samsung but this is different. Thanks in advance. I will continue to do some reading.

N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin

I know this is a dumb question, but could you just flash the N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin to return to stock?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Herc08:
I know I shouldn't probably this . But to people like me who flashed samsung phones before, should now about drviers. but due to a recent reformat, i lost them...so if anyone else is having issue... http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows this would be your go to bet...i could not get odin to recognize my note...again, i know it shouldn't probably be said...but i am pretty sure someone else out there is going to have the same issue...now to continue rooting my device

---------

So after about an hour of looking for am sd card, I finally got it working. And verified it with root ch3cker. Now I need a kit kat rom, but for now I can get rid of bloat ware and make space
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shinew:
bootloop, need help

I'm trying to downgrade from the leaked KK to MJ5, everything went fine(except the expected error at the end of the Heimdall suite as mentioned in the first post -> attachment 1), during last step when I tried to flash the 240058.zip, it gives the errors below in red text(attachment 2).

E:error in tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

AND

E:unkown volume for path [/sdcard1]

E:unkown volume "/sdcard1"

then it reboots back to recovery every time I turn on the phone. does anyone know how to fix it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I had this same issue , try re-downloading files also, when you ignore and finish this guide , you get the "Unfortunately, Direct pen input has stopped" constantly popping up and when typing it takes forever. I also did not have root, running kingo got root but it was a pain with the "Unfortunately, Direct pen input has stopped" popping up. I then tried a restore of my mj5 and it would not boot, so I had to re-install designgears kitkat. today after I get back home I will go through this again but will try to install with safestrap a full stock odex kitkat rom from a kitkat dump I pulled off my phone with root files added (I only care for stock) or install drakeymcmb kitkat rooted rom if update is ready.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
I had the same issue. I had to install 4.4.2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ilatimer1:
So I was also successful in returning my leaked kitkat build to MJ5 using this method. The only thing that I had a problem with was step 3 does not state that you need to be in download mode and also had some problems with loading the correct zadig driver.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shinew:
what files do you have on your SD root and did you download the file from direct links or mega?

I'm wondering if it's the file download problem

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I got it working now.

I turned out the system file had invalid md5. i redownloaded from the direct link and went from step 5 and I'm on MJ5 now. I looked through log more carefully this time, I think the "sdcard" errors are normal(I still have them) because the update has run a format before the error.

Anyway, for anyone else who have problem, make sure you verify your MD5 first before proceeding, here are the correct ones:

8C623708833D06921735D700ADB3B11A <= MI9_fix.img.ext4

FACAD6EA4D92A1332B57719400A673AB <= sec_csc.zip

9EE068090FB0AA06AABCBACE443A3F74 <= rldv.zip

D80042A60262182BFAB13C87D9027716 <= 2400258.zip
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
No direct input errors?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ilatimer1:
So the only files that should be in the sdcard are the sec_csc.zip, rldv.zip and the 2400258.zip. I put them in root of my sdcard.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SilverStone641:
Just completed your guide. It got a little hairy during the Odin install (didn't indicate you had to be in Download mode for Odin to work in the first place. In hindsight, my own experience should have given me a hint.) once I got that figured out the rest of the process went very smoothly and I'm happily beginning to configure my rooted Note 3. Thanks OP! :good:

EDIT: Spoke too soon. I rebooted after the Super SU install and now the bootscreen is showing Custom. Dunno that it matters or has any impact on me as I would have rooted no matter what. Probably could be an issue if I ever need to replace with insurance.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.

rldv.zip needs to be unpacked then copy the folder named 1 and file rldv.sh to root of sdcard

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

those having trouble here or us who installed the KitKat update and or trying to get back to mj5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Herc08:
Yes. It's security fesutre built it saying the device was tampered with. Hopefully, there could be a way to get rid of it. I know on HTC devices, it was red text, but could be deleted with a mod. Been searching, but nothing yet.

Seems like we had the same issue. Guide doesn't mention drivers, but like you, I should have known from experience...coming from HTC and all. ..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Just use xposed to get rid of the "custom" on boot screen
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DiscipleDOC:
You can also use Triangle Away...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
Finally got mine working. I had a bad download. First time in 3 years. Finally back on mj5 :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoachForLife:
Sorry if this is a dumb question but comparing this to Kingo Root, I read somewhere that this installs busybox while Kingo does not. I'm not really familiar with what Busybox does. Can BB be installed after? Any pros/cons? Really just trying to decide which method to root my MJ5

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rickleasa:
So if I updated to the kitkat leak without safestrap I can still get back to mj5
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ilatimer1:
That is correct :).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rickleasa:
Wow awesome thanks for heads up
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rickleasa:
This worked perfect back to m5 and rooted thanks a bunch will donate
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
Question: If I am already on MJ5, do I need to follow the guide from step one onwards or can I just skip all that and just download the root files to start rooting?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
if your on mj5 you need to do from step 4 or use kingo to get root long enough to install safestrap and then a custom rom that has root
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sashin:
I'm on MJ5 and trying to unlock the sim. Will getting root help?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
Is there a fix to the "direct pen input has stopped" issue? I have re-did the restore from step 1 and it still doesn't fix it. That includes re-downloading everything.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I kept having this issue, my fix was taking out my 64 MB sdcard and using my 16GB then 2400258.zip and sec_csc.zip installed from recovery without security errors, I then used kingo to root so I could install safestrap then installing a custom rooted rom.

try to unzip 2400258.zip and sec_csc.zip on your computer if they fail to unzip then they will not install.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
I am using my 8gb sd card which seems to work fine. I'll try unzipping them later today when I am home. I will let you know what happens next.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dadymon53:
Is there a video?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
So I decided just to go ATT right after work and they ended up reflashing the whole phone to MJ5. Before that, what I notice and may be the issue was that no matter how many times I flashed the phone, the build number stays as MI9 rather than being on MJ5 while the baseband stayed at MJ5. I think because of the build not changing to MJ5/being MI9, it's causing the direct pen has stopped issue.
