Those mj5 odin files are good to take me back to stock? I'm already on mj5 but I just want to start fresh.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
The img is not stock MJ5. It's actually a modified MI9. Ill investigate why the download links are failing, they appear to be up for me...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] liquidaluminum:
Sorry I'm just now replying, but I solved the problem on my own. I meant to update this last night. For some reason it had to do with the the way the rooting folders were extracted. I was able to go in and pull the subfolders and reboot, and all the sudden I had a totally rooted phone. The only issue I'm having now is getting clockworkmod installed on it. In one of the subfolders marked "1" the files for busybox, clockwork mod, and twrp are all in there, but they aren't installing. When I boot into recovery, it's just the standard Android recovery. I'll get that worked out though. I'm just happy to have a nice new Note 3 with Root.

It's a shame the stuff we have to go through sometimes just to customize our own devices, but I've learned so much from you guys it's crazy. There are some real geniuses on this site.

Thank you so much for looking into it for me. I should have updated this earlier, but I've been so busy I honestly forgot.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] runsoverfrogs:
do you already have to be running an mj5 stock rom for this to work? I noticed in the steps that there's no actual rom flash. THere is that system.img flash but that seemed to be a little low on the file size. I'm currently already on an NC2 rom: DK
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
This isn't a rom, it's a way to restore your phone back to stock, Incase you screwed up or just want to go back and clean things up.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] webran61:
It worked, sort of...

So...

I was on NB4 and through my own foolishness trying to debloat it I deleted "system" in Safestrap on accident, which lead to me using this method to restore, which THEN lead to "Direct Pen Input has stopped" constantly.

I've been looking through the forums and so far the only advice I've picked up is to warranty-replace the phone, which is the last thing I want to go through since I bought mine from eBay a month ago.

What's the latest info on a fix for this?

If ANYONE could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
You need to install sec_csc.zip to fix FC
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] webran61:
Just flashed the zip in Recovery Mode and it doesn't stop the Direct Pen FC.

I will try DL'ing the zip again, maybe it's a bad download?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] webran61:
DL'd again. This still doesn't work.

So I'm assuming this isn't a simple fix... but would rooting and freezing the Pen service work?

I have no idea what to do here other than start a warranty claim.

use kingo ( if your download mode has A2)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] banziitox24:
Go to the Play store and update SU
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Boroaams:
How do you know if it has A2 or not? Is it the third combo from the left?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] banziitox24:
Go into download mode and there you can find if you have A2 or A3 newest bootloader

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sirrous:
So best bet is to return it and get the t-mobile version or another device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Yep. Or if you just wanna hang around until someone finds root for us.

from the tip of my fangers...!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sirrous:
I'm tempted to wait. I'm just afraid frustration will drive more devs away and community support will die along with our chances of getting root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
There is no way that will happen. Most devs take this as a fun stuff to do if not all of them (and that's why it's free). Especially when it's a challenge like that. I'm pretty sure they're in touch with each other all the time figuring things out. Plus, there is no "impossible" when it comes to programing/coding and whatever those things are. There is always a way to crack the "code".

from the tip of my fangers...!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] webran61:
As a followup,

I spent all weekend re-downloading every file and re-doing every step to no avail.

And of course Kies wouldn't confirm the device for the originial firmware.

And of course the OTA update to KitKat (as a last resort) also didn't work.

So this morning I gave in and chatted with a Samsung rep to file a warranty repair.

Got the shipping label printed out and everything's ready to go.

However I have concerns about whether or not my device will be deemed legitimate or not.

Luckily, thanks to all of the devs here my ODIN mode doesn't show any KNOX warranty counts or anything, but I am worried about *my Baseband being MJ5 and my Build number being MI9.* Would the difference be considered the same as a KNOX count or not?

Nonetheless I know that by mailing it in for repair when I get it back it will be on un-rootable KitKat.

To be honest this device seems like too much of a hassle to keep dealing with. I think when I do get it back it's going straight to eBay.

That LG G3 is looking really nice...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
First: you're most likely getting a phone with 4.4.2 KK. Second: if you're OK with that then I wouldn't worry about the what the "about phone" says as long as when you reboot it doesn't say "custom" and the device status under "about phone" says official. That's IF they looked at it. If you're dealing with people on the phone and it's a matter of shipping between you and them then it wouldn't matter. They won't even look at it. The guy that I talked to at AT&T about my phone just looked at the things I mentioned above and told me to back up everything because he's bricking the phone before exchanging it for me. lol

Don't take what I'm saying as it's going to happen 100%, they may deal with you differently bro, but that is what happened with me

from the tip of my fangers...!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] faslane:
Just the opposite actually. Devs want to be the one who "cracked" it! Do one will leave if they are serious about finding root. There's even a bounty of cash for the one who does and it's grown pretty large, I believe it' into the thousands of dollars last I read.

I was wondering if anyone had any problems installing safestrap after this? I did everything step by step, installed busybox, then safestrap installed and then restarted my phone. There's no difference

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Install safestrap 3.71 and it will fix the issue, may have to Google for it
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
I tried 3.72 first and then I removed that and tried 3.71
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
You have root obviously so, did you uninstall recovery then SS app, install new SS and redo recovery? And it still failed?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
Yes. I'm retrying it now should I try a 3.6X version?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
I wouldn't think it would work. Did super su ask for rights for SS?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
Yes, for SS and busybox. At first su said it couldn't update the su script or whatever but then when I restarted my phone a few times the message was gone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Strange, SS shows recovery installed? But reboot never shows the SS splash?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
Correct. I've uninstalled it several times and then re-installed it shows it's installed so I go to Reboot to recovery. The only thing I see when I reboot is the Samsung Note 3 with the custom unlock logo at the bottom then it goes Android is upgrading screen, should I repeat this whole process?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Sounds like something went wrong during the process.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Someone else had that SS issue but fixed it using 3.71
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
What do you think my issue is?

Should I re-do the whole process?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
I would say yes, but I can't figure out where it would have gone wrong. Root, Su, is all you need for SS to do its thing.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Did you remove the root zip after you got root? I wonder if it's causing issues during each reboot
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Like you said clothednblack, you have to prove you have root, like es explorer or some root app from the market that needs root.

depends on what rom your running, is it KK or JB rom

looks like the correct boot.img is needed for safestrap recovery to boot

When I was root :crying: I installed with odin the files to go from JB rom and back to KK rom ( from backups)

Togetbooting

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Been there myself, just trying to figure out what's going on with his phone. Not easy without it in front of me lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
I didn't remove anything after the process was finished. When I re-do the process what files should I remove? Also even when I first go the phone, it never had this android upgrading screen after each reboot. Is this because I didn't remove certain files or?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
The rdlv file on the root of the phone isn't needed after you achieve root, it can be removed. If that still doesn't fix it, then it wouldn't hurt to try an older version of SS before starting all over again
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
If you still have the Restore for MJ5 files, then your should be MJ5, so you have to use the old MJ5 safestrap 3.71 and the files I posted Togetsafestrap
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
It worked :D a million thank yous to everyone you helped me!!!!

then when your in the kitkat rom you install the 3.72 KK safestrap

it might even be newer

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
you need to install with odin the togetbooting files I posted

to get kitkat to boot ( I forgot to tell you that part)

his thread you might need to install ATT S5 Port Update 1 and then his update also

but you need the kitkat firmware from togetbooting folder to get kitkat running for any kitkat the first time, after you get kitkat running then you can install other kitkat custom roms without having to install and odin files

unless you go back to JB
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Good to know, can't help with that rom, never tried it. You want a jb or KK rom?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
he just needs the kitkat firmware installed now
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] youreaherb4L:
Honestly, I don't prefer one over the other, I just wanted certain features from the S5. When I tried just installing some of the S5 apks I wanted, it just FC because I think I'm suppose to be on kitkat. I think if I might just stick with a JB rom after I fix this (again) too many issues that I have no knowledge of and have to search every forum to fix lol

Rooting for Official KitKat

This sounds great! Just to be clear in my mind, for those who have the official KitKat version, would this be the only way that they can root? Or (if this new method happened not to work for the Note 3) could they still use the Heimdall method to obtain a rooted MJ5 and then use Drakey's custom SafeStrap 3.71 and Odin to get to KitKat Roms (and subsequently use Safestrap 3.72 after they are back to Kitkat)? Or is the Heimdall only for those with the older leaked version of KitKat?
