Ok so I used towelroot with no problems and I can install wanam and xposed but after a reboot I basically lose all wireless connectivity. If I uninstall those programs it works fine again. I haven't adjusted any wireless functions within wanam or xposed. Does this happen to any one else?

Towelroot & SuperSU

I used Towelroot and it works fine. But SuperSU every time I start it asks me if I want to disable Knox. When I press Yes, SuperSU freezes and I have to restart my Note 3. Should I disable Knox and if Yes, how to do it?

Started with stock rooted NB4 and took the OTA. Got NC2 no problem. Install tr.apk and now have root. I was suprised because of all the problems people were having getting the OTA when rooted.

Seems however that access to the sd card is troublesome. I can't download to it but can copy to it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bigpunisher:
Once rooted, get the xposed installer, install it, download the framework, reboot, reopen the installer, and theres one or two modules available to allow full r/w access for all apps to sd card. Search on xda for the xposed installer apk...Trust me your note 3 experience is so much better rooted and using a few of the xposed modules. I havent gotten up the courage yet to install safestrap and flash a custom rom on this phone yet which sucks for me cause there are some really great roms in the community. That said, rooted, debloated and complimented with xposed modules will give u back your sanity lol...

Anybody Else Having Issues Installing Customs Roms on kernel 3.4.0-257432

So positive I am rooted, Safestrap is active, superuser, busybox,etc. However, when I try to make a back up states fail and if I install TW custom rom, installs, when it reboots safestrap comes up, but does state safestrap disabled and when you go into the newly installed rom all you get is ATT sound and black screen. As for safestrap itself, states: Recovery Installed, Safe System: Not Active, but when I press on reboot to recovery I get to the recovery screen.

Have done in stock rom and rom-1-4 but no luck any ideas?

Kernel: 3.4.0-257432

Build Number: KOT49H.N900AUCECMLG

Towelroot V3

SafeStrap: 3.72

Am a happy camper I can nuke ATT bloatware through root explorer, but really want to flash some of these custom ROMs.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jondoe27:
You need to flash NC2 kernel from the same link to install root. It doesn't work with MLG.

SU/ROOT

My Note 3 was working fine with the stock rom (bestbuy flush) until I've decided to replicate root removal with the SU which was successful.

I uninstalled the SU and reboot to a factory restore. Status changes to a "Custom" and stays this way even after I've done reboot/restore for a few more times. So I installed Root and SU again and the problem gets fixed. But the SU can't uninstall the Root now. So I'm kinda stuck with the improperly rooted phone for now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kenscivic:
I had the same issue. I Un installed rebooted. Reinstalled. And it worked
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jcervantes11:
Hi guy's. So I'm on nc2. So all I need is install a apk. Where do I get it? Can somebody give me direct link? Ty

Which apk are you looking for?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
I'm guessing he means towelroot.com
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
does anyone can able to unroot using SuperSU? just want to see if we can put it back the way it was in case i need to send it for warranty purpose.

another thing, once rooted using this tool, does it says "custom" and picture of unlocked key when I reboot? mine does, I thought it should not say custom...ohh well, maybe I am wrong..

thanks in advance if you give some light to above questions/concerns!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brauckmiller:
Not sure about unrooting part, but yes, the custom lock icon will display during bootup.

I thought I read somewhere that you can remove a file and the customer lock icon can be eliminated, but I may have imagined things.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hoyt Thompson:
Actually mine d9es not show the "custom" when I rooted it. It onk6 shows that when I freeze something the OS should have running but canot run it because it is frozen.

Running stock kk I have just frozen a bunch or apps.

Hey all,

I've just ordered an AT&T Note 3 and it will arrive on Monday. I'm wondering if Note 3's sold recently can be easily rooted with Towellroot or if I'll need to jump through some extra hoops?

I know it's all contingent on what version of Android is on the device, but I figured if anybody's gotten one recently they might know what I'll be getting. I want to get ready so that by Monday I'll be ready (read up, d/l files, etc) to do whatever I'll need to get rooted. I'm not really interested in flashing ROM's just yet, but really do want root.

So anybody know if new Note's purchased today are easily rootable with this TR method?

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
The latest note 3 update is still rootable with towelroot. The next version will not be. Towelroot uses a vulnerability that has been patched in all new android builds.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Okay I stand corrected seems they are pushing new software. as long as you have nc2 on down you will be able to gain root and you can downgrade from the current latest nj2 to nc2.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] a042349:
Ok thanks. So if my N3 comes with NC2 I'm good to go with TR to root, if it comes with NJ2 I need to downgrade to NC2 correct?

Two follow-ups:

Is there a link to instructions for downgrading to NC2 from NJ2?

Is there a listing of these build numbers and what Android versions they represent (mostly for curiosity/completeness)?

Thanks again!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Basically yes nc2 on down = towelroot.

Fwiw people have found a work around

Thanks again, good to be prepared and read up/research on what I may need to do on Monday.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Fwiw after you gain root if you do not intend on updating I would download app quarantine, then freeze a program that was named att update or something like that. Sorry it's my wife's phone and she's not home. I'm still using a razrm. Note 3 makes it look like a toy.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] a042349:
Yeah, I have a Note 2 now and I've frozen ATT Update (it's on 4.4.2) with Titanium Backup. As soon as I get root on my N3 I'll do the same thing. Thanks again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JMH82:
Someone shoot me please.....

I've messed up and did the update to NJ5 4.4.4 without reading up on ANYTHING....I wanna cry now. Maybe I'll just shoot myself. I've been out of the loop for a while now on this stuff, but was able to come across towelroot and get my phone rooted not too long ago and now AT&T has made things....I don't know....F'ed up. I didn't know anything about this Safestrap stuff. What happened to the good ol days where it was easy to fix things? :( DO NOT DO THE OTA UPDATE IF YOU WANT ROOT...I probably don't have to tell you all that huh? ;) Hopefully one of my family members is able to reflash my phone since she works at a AT&T repair/refurb center. I sent her a text and she said she doesn't think her computers have been updated to the 4.4.4 yet. Heres hoping she can do something.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
I believe you can still Odin back to stock nc2 (read up on it but I think so) then use towel root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] a042349:
Just wanted to confirm that my new Note 3 had 4.4.2 (NC2) dated March and Towelroot workd fine, I then froze AT&T update with Titanium Backup and everything's good. Now I'll enjoy it for a while and maybe read up on and give Safestrap a go down the road.

Thanks again for the help.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Do you require root again?

Remove any root changes you made.

Unfreeze all frozen apps

Remove all programs that require root and their data

Go into SuperSU and choose remove root

Reboot a few times to get rid of lock screen custom

Check for updates.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SimPup:
Because tons of people on official nc2 couldn't root
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bone_Enterprise:
Some people were not already rooted, thus this is the only way one would obtain that level of access as the last OTA update disabled the exploits that allowed root with the previous methods.
