I also dont know. I have also two friends with the Note 3 and the same firmware (They dont root. Fully stock) and have the same issues I had when I was on NL1. The curious thing is that by downgrading my gps is working again. Like I said on 4.4.4 I tried factory reset and also tried the fix on service mode. Both did not work. Anyway thanks for everything man.

May I have the process to install Safe Trap please?

I'm reading the directions, but it doesn't tell me where to get it or how to install it, I need a step by step process, preferably with picture or a video.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
here is what I sent another best I can do without a pc (I am at work) ;)

first you do is download and unzip NL1-NJ5-files-to-root.zip and

copy to sdcard (this is busybox,safestrap,and tr.apk) You can copy the files to your internal sdcard if you have no external sdcard.

then download the NC2 firmware to install with odin (to get root)

after it installs, install tr.apk and run. after phone reboots install busy box apk and then run it to install busybox, verifi it installed, it will pop up a message whether it installed or failed, and then install safestrap then run safestrap to install,

then download the custom rom you want to install.

if your just wanting to root NL1 the just download N900A_NL1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip and install

then install the NH1 kernel (to boot Nl1 or any 4.4.4 custom rom)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
if your talking about AT&T phone yes, you have to have safestrap already installed from when you was on NC2,

Okay well thank you for your time. I do not know enough about this method to comfortably do it :/ I really was hoping to root and flash a new rom as my note 3 has too much lag. I know how to root w odin, I know how to install a file on md sd and flash it but Idk how to go back to Odin back to stock nc2 for the keep root zip to work. I know it would be worth it and my phone would run better but I don't want to brick it either.

no because we do not have NL1 odin files, you have to use NC2 firmware and steps in this OP to get rooted NL1

I have done it a few times w my old Gal s2,3 and 4. But now I see you have to revert to an older update to root and it seems more confusing. Could anyone plz provode links to the proper way to do all 3 steps. Revert, root and flash rom? Id GREATLY appreciate it as my phones lost its sparkle.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006

then tr.apk then busybox then safestrap. then come back here and install this rom to keep root
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
what steps you did? can you list here?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Same as my post above you, you have to get safestrap installed first and nc2 is only firmware we can get root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
I am having strange issue; I am trying to get safestrap install, one of the requirement is install busybox, which I am doing it now; but when I open BusyBox, it tells me can't able to find su binarary, this app could not work prompt message...and yeah it is rooted way back...and SuperSu update binary all good...weird...I even uninstall busybox and re-install it from playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en)....

anyway, hopefully i will figure it busybox issue!

so say I got safestrap installed and did user data backup; next step

I flash N900A_NL1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (on "Stock Slot." ), and restore user data.

now last step, where it says reboot, means I need to reboot my phone and then after it reboots, I need to put the phone in download mode and flash the N900A_NL1_Stock_Kernel using Odin, right?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
After you inn stall the N900A_NL1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip then you hit the back button a couple times to get to main screen then hit the reboot button then select download. Also do not restore your user data until you setup your phone because the first boot is still installing nl1 patches.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DidacticBlack:
I'm having a bit of trouble with the NL1 build, my phone won't auto rotate anymore, even after rebooting my device.

Also the last time I updated Super User I wasn't able to use my data service.

you might have auto rotate turned off. I have no issues what's so ever
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DidacticBlack:
I have "Screen Rotation" on in the notification dock.

It's always on and I can't seem to get it to work.

Is there a possible work around or do I have to factory reset to fix it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
first what state is your phone and what did you do to get there? did you come from JB? did you do a factory reset while in Safestrap recovery? did you restore app's with titainiam?

Hi [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION]

all went fine, smooth, a few issues here there, but entire process went OK, once all good, I restored user data, etc.....

Only thing I realized that all my contacts, SMS, call logs are gone. I was under impression when you do user data restore, all will be there as I left before the upgrade...

any idea? restoring user data should put everything back the way it was, right?

bunch thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
What did you restore it with titanium or did you do a recovery restore
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
used recovery user data restore......it restored all...just missing contacts, SMS, call logs stuff...anyway, not a biggie...I was just curious that's why I asked if anyone had the same issue here
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Ok did you restore at the same time you install the ROM or did you wait to you rebooted try restoring it again
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
per your suggestion in previous post, I did restore only after all other stuff done, means it rebooted after rom flash, then installed kernel with Odin, and then I rebooted, and device rebooted fine...i checked all good, then waited...after that I reboot into recovery and did user restore and rebooted.....

actually,tell me; restoring user data should restore the " contacts, SMS, call logs stuff", correct? I believe it does, just wanted to double check with you...

Need Some Basics Please

First, thank you for all your help. I've done a lot of reading and I see your contributions. I'm a little hesitant to proceed, so I'd love a little hand-holding please.

My phone is an AT&T Note 3 N900A with *DNL1 on it. I'm trying desperately to root it. I haven't rooted a phone since my 1st generation HTC Incredible (tiny little thing).

In the OP, I see (towards the end) that you said if your phone is not rooted to download that tar you provided and flash back to NC2 first. This's where I need some basics ... HOW do I flash back? Do I need to untar the file 1st? Do I need to be connected to a computer as well? I presume not since I can put it on an SD Card.

Next, I know that vol-down+home+power = download; and that vol-up+home+power = recovery. I presume, since this is not another ROM, that I would need to follow the former ... the "download" boot sequence I mentioned. Is that correct? Again, I'm apprehensive as I go into this. If this was a command line (Linux), I would be a lot more comfortable.

TIA
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 168us:
regarding 1. Extract the N900A_NL1_Stock_Rooted_Backup folder from the .rar and place that folder into your Safestrap backups folder, i.e: ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxx (the name of your backups folder may vary. If a backups folder does not already exist you must first create a backup using Safestrap's "Backup" function before proceeding).

I unrar the file, and create dummy name, but I don't see it when I boot into Safestrap mode. /ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/cd4806b7/2015-03-23-..... , but I can see my own backup folder under backup option.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Mrdaviso:
When you extracted it it's possible is in 2 folders. Meaning you open a folder to see another folder instead of the md5 files like your backup. I'm at the same point as you and I see the backup.

in the US, depending what carrier your on. global is the same as dialing *#*#4636#*#*, then putting the network into lte/cdma/gsm. lte is like putting the signal into lte/gsm. if you dont use a cdma carrier(sprint/verizon), then lte would be best.

You might want to remove your email unless you want to get harvested by a spambot.

Straight Talk Unlocking Policy

It's no surprise that Straight Talk blew you off. Your situation doesn't meet their terms and conditions in that you haven't had the phone active for one year. As to unlocking your phone, you can use either of the two methods that have already been discussed on these forums. Either going through the service menu to unlock, or using RegionLock Away and praying it works. Otherwise, you're out of luck and should send the phone to someone you know in the US so they can return it to WalMart.

If the methods mentioned didn't work, you'll have to purchase an unlock code from a third party. You could always put the phone on eBay and sell it, if you're not able to return it and don't want to spend any further money.

Be aware that even if you do get the phone unlocked LTE will not work in Israel as the phone doesn't have the correct bands. 3G and HSPA+ should still function.
