Sorry guys had to catch some sleep after long night working on this yesterday. I'll try to get to your questions soon.

In the mean time if you were able to follow procedure successfully, i would appreciate it if you can help out users who are having problems.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
no problem Walter....I followed your alternate/easier method, it seems like it worked..I am just now keep getting play store play service needs to be updated, but it does not updates..not sure why, but hopefully able to figure out.

and I am not sure what's going to happen Xposed (when I was on NC2) stuff that I already have them...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] iteam:
Anybody have any screenies to show of various things? I know its probably not but is there a navbar option in this build? I'm gonna try method 3 with root and use X transformer. Hopefully it'll play nice. Or I'll have to use Dynamic Nav Bar....

I used option 3. It works, but on reboots I'm sometimes getting this warning "Process System isn't responding. Do you want to close it? Wait Ok" Anyone else getting this? Any idea what to do about it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] g3m1n1:
Started with 100% stock 4.4.4 AT&T Note 3, used method #1 and had no issues. Thanks a ton for posting this and the instructions!

I did have one odd issue, not really a problem, and that was when I went through the initial setup and added my Google account I was not prompted to restore my apps and their data. My Nexus devices always ask if I want to restore apps + data and usually gives me a choice of a few dates of backups. This time, the Note 3 just never asked and now I have to manually download everything again. Again, not a bug or problem with this awesome post just something unexpected. Anyone else know if this is just default behavior on the Note devices?

I just ran that app on my newly upgraded Note 3 and got all red Xs. "Unfortunately, your device doesn't support manual settings at all."

thanks if any answers could be provided.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nickelocene:
Sorry if this is going to be a stupid question, but.... what will happen if I, say, used method 3 successfully and later on do a complete factory reset to wipe everything, including user data. Will I still have root and able to install SS? Thanks,
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] neoman4426:
Su binary is in /system and should survive a factory reset assuming you mean the wipe data option and not Odining the stock tars or something.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dean1650:
Option 3 worked great. Had a few problems with sys.ui, probably should recommend uninstalling xposed and any ui mods prior. Also had to wipe cache and data for weather daemon. Safestrap recovery doesn't work and no way to install the zip you posted. Any alternate methods to get Safestrap working?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Odin the NC2 kernel or use the NC2 kernel flasher. Flash the zip files you want, reboot to download (not system), then odin the OC1 firmware.

Here is the link to the Workaround for SS. I'm sure at some point [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] will update it with the OC1 files (although you can get them from this thread as well)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] liriolebron:
Hello,

Check if the folder you copied into your back up folder has this structure: "\TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx\stock-2015-03-24--23-26-50 LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1\stock-2015-03-24--23-26-50 LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1". If so, then you have to move the files of the last folder to the first and make the structure to only one level nesting, like this: "\TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx\stock-2015-03-24--23-26-50 LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1".

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
If having to flash a file or run an app is too difficult for you to grasp, maybe flashing ROMs isn't for you. (And, if it isn't, there's no reason you need a rooted phone. Rooting doesn't make the phone work any differently, it just allows software that requires root access to obtain that access. If you can't do something like run an app to enable booting to Safestrap, you most likely aren't going to be running any software that requires root access.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tahrang:
So followed the procedure on https://xdaforums.com/t/rooted-or-stock-update-procedure-for-lollipop-5-0-oc1.3063760/#post-59666958

Everything went well, have lollipop, root access.

One big problem - cannot connect to internet, even though wifi is connected. Everytime I open a browser or Play Store, it says, that no connectivity.

Anyone else with this problem? Any solution?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xcutnr1:
Longshot, but...

I've tried the "very easy" method and the original. Towelroot doesn't work anymore, says it's not connected to the internet even though it is. I had to use Kingoroot, which does work to root on 4.4.2, but then can't install SuperSU.

Lots of links are dead now, but I've got all of the files for those 2 methods. The original gives me a stock splash screen then freezes on that. The "very easy" method puts me into stock recovery and won't boot.

I've tried upgrading straight from NC2 and from NL1, but no dice. I've also looked at updating to OC2, but it seems all of the download links are dead.

Any help here?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
I still have an AT&T Note 3 running Walter's rooted OC2 ROM - it works. You can download it (I think - it's been a few years since I even looked at the directory it's in) from here. (It's a long download.)

I've never tried it on Android 5, but since you obviously can recover from an unbootable ROM, have you tried Magisk?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tahrang:
Cannot connect to Google services (play store) or sign in to my samsung account, after updating to non-root lollipop. Please help.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KagaHades:
I got that as well. What I did was go into application manager and disabled it. Then I rolled the upgrade for google play service back and made sure it was enabled again. After a few minutes I was prompted again to upgrade it which worked this time and haven't had an issue since.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] OmegaNemesis28:
:p I addressed this in my previous question.

No - reread method 3 and the thread in method 2 which has similar directions:

7. Use Safestrap's Backup Function

to back-up User Data.

8. Perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.

9. From the

main menu press "Restore" and restore

the stock-2015-03-24--23-26-50 LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1 backup.

Is the end result a wipe? Directions unclear. Does it DO a wipe? Yes. That's not what I'm talking about. Does it actually put everything back or is the restore doing some wipey thing that doesn't put apps back? The thread in method 2 says it doesn't wipe anything using the similar 3 instructions above.

That's what I mean. If you read my previous question, I specifically highlighted the fact it says wipe-user data, but it also does some sort of backup from Safestrap, is it the same? Method 1 wipes without warning, method 2 and 3 does a wipe but do a safestrap back/restore of.... something. Hence why there is at least 3 questions about it throughout this thread.

Same exact "issue". To be honest, I've never been prompted that before ever on my Note 3. So I'm not sure! Some apps read my device as a new device entirely too and I can still "see" the old one, but I guess that depends on how the app identifies the device so its hard to conclude. Also method 1.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bobbyrific12:
Worked great!! Thanks to Walter and everyone else that helped! Y'all are the greatest!

I do really miss. Like really miss xposed tho.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] OmegaNemesis28:
On method 1, mine went away after awhile and just letting my phone do its thing after installing/updating my apps. A reboot after all my setup and it stopped. Specifically, it was Android Wear constantly requesting it and once I ran Wear after it was all updated, it went away at that point I think.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] serge_harle_z:
Yeah. Just follow it step by step and you should have working lollipop with root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoninTPD:
Did exactly that and ss did not see the file. plus the file that was downloaded from mega was a .7z file.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] crackness:
General question... Now that we have our note 3s rooted on lollipop, are there any of the popular frameworks/modules that are compatible? I know xposed has an alpha or beta compatible with lollipop, but it requires flashing to install which isn't currently available to us...

Barring that, might anyone know how to disable the tethering provisioning checks? The build.prop "noprovisioning" doesn't fix it, and freezing the tetheringprovision sysapp stops the call home but also makes settings crash out without enabling tethering...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
It flashes the OC1 kernel from Safestrap. You're supposed to use it in tandem with the NC2 Flasher app so you can get into Safestrap, and then get back into Android, without needing to use Odin.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tomit12:
As far as I know, you won't be able to do anything with the 7z on your phone. You have to download 7zip on your computer and decompress the folder contained within, and copy that to the backups folder as described.

I installed the NC2 all-in-one onto Note 4 Norma but it just got stuck at the AT&T logo. I did a factory reset and used #3. When restoring data I chose my Note 4 Norma backup and it all worked out. Lollipop is pretty nice, everything is updating right now. System now uses 100% CPU, but I hope that it's just because it's currently installing apps.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:

You could do that, but I'd recommend against it as it's bootlooping Samsung phones, including ours according to another post in the thread, so I'd recommend against it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mykeldrip:
So my phone would never update to 4.4.4. So I am stuck on NC2 and not able to upgrade to lollipop. I am 100% stock unrooted. Is there an easy way to upgrade to NL1 (I.e. download that firmware to external SD) so I can then goto lollipop? If not what is easist way? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] OmegaNemesis28:
Method 2 or 3 does that for you (100% Stock Rooted Original Procedure). Restore NC2 using the files he provided to ensure you're actually 100% stock unrooted no matter what (step 1).

If you don't want root, I imagine you could maybe do it up until step 7 of Method 2. Then jump back to Method 1 and follow it that way (step 2 of 100% Stock Non-Rooted Procedure will do it for you to make sure you have an entirely stock NL1) and by step 8 you'll have stock lollipop. But don't hold me to that.

Have you done a factory reset of the phone and then tried to update?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
Battery life has improved on lollipop
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mykeldrip:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] m0biusace:
Third option worked great. However, using the stylus in S-note is an exercise in frustration now. The phone seems to miss every fifth stroke or so when writing out a word quickly, compared to NL1 (4.4.4). Tested three different stylus (stylii?) on two different AT&T Note 3 both updated to lollipop via the same manner, both have the same problem.

What makes me think this is a software problem is that action note works just fine. Furthermore, I have a T-mobile note 3 running lollipop and S-note works just fine. Thinking it was the screen assembly of the AT&T note 3 I actually just swapped the screen (lol I was bored) from the tmobile to the AT&T, and the problem still persists.

Anyone with similar experiences?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nickelocene:
By region unlock, do you mean sim lock? I thought that would stay unlocked no matter what rom you throw on the phone. Am I wrong? I unlocked my sim with that 7 digit code.

I bought mine used and it came with the soft unlock. When I upgraded to 4.4.4 no more tmobile. I bought a code over the weekend to perm unlock it (8 digits) and it was unsuccessful. So I followed the instructions, unlocked it again, and updated.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
After you get lollipop going, if you ever need to get to SS to flash something, then you need to either:

1. Odin the NC2 kernel (not the whole ROM or it will wipe lollipop)

2. Use [MENTION=4402483]benwaffle[/MENTION] 's NC2 flasher found here, which will install the NC2 kernel for you so you can reboot to SS.

After you are in SS, you can install whatever zips you want, take a backup, etc....but when you are done, you need to;

1. go back to the main menu in SS, hit reboot and then reboot to download and ODIN the OC1 kernel

2. Find [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] flashable OC1 zip that he posted in this thread.

Here is the flashable OC1:

Happy flashing.

So what bugs are people seeing? In specific, has anyone tested location / GPS to be working, and can someone run a navigation in Google maps to see if GPS is working?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Believe it or not, it is not very difficult. It is the same workaround that needed to happen if you were on 4.4.4. And it will be required for any and every update to come since SS is basically abandoned (to my knowledge). Unless Hashcode decides to come out of retirement or do some moonlighting and update SS so that it works on post 4.4.2 roms.

Either way, might as well get in the habit of doing it because it doesnt look like there will be any other options for quite some time. The ODIN part is real easy, only problem is you have to be by a computer. I havent tried benwaffle's app yet, but it should make life even easier.
