Ok...then I'm not understanding something. Flashing the NC2 isn't an issue. I've done it 3 times. Got safestrap up and working all 3 times. The issue is, the instructions say I need to be on NL1 in order to do the Very Easy procedure according to this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59667172&postcount=9 and once I've gone to NL1, I lose the ability to get into Safestrap recovery.

Am I incorrect in this?

thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshuaburnsjr:
I posted in your thread 100% working. Big thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
You do not need to be on NL1 to get to Lollipop. The current Very Easy procedure basically pushes all the Lollipop to the system partition, but previously the procedure patched files so it needed to be ran on NL1. You could probably flash the zip from MJ5 and it would work, only problem might be differences in SafeStrap version but it should work.

Hey walter, you said downgarde to NC2 is possible, any special way to do that? I took the OTA Lolipop update and want to downgarde back to nc2 and follow your guide. But i get a 'Fail' Message in Odin when i Try. I was wondering if there is anything special i need to do?

Edit* I did the 4 file method.

Edit 2* Retried and its working now...guess it was a fluke.

The alternate method worked excellently. So glad we could keep root, android without adblock+ doesn't seem worthwhile.

Since xposed isn't working, is there any other app that can change the menu button to multitasking button?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
reading the instruction outlined in OP, what's differences really between 100% Stock Rooted Original Procedure and 100% Stock Rooted Alternate/Easier Procedure?

both method seems like using TWRP backup files to upgrade ? can someone clarify this for me?

thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] OmegaNemesis28:
1. People can definitely read the OP and not understand. Even my own post, I indicated method 1 wipes but I still don't know if method 2 or 3 does. I read in detail about all 3 methods and its all rather confusing because it goes from non-wipe method to potentially wipe method without indication. The point is there are guides which explicitly state if you're going to wipe or not. In fact, OP Walter.White links to a particular set of files he's served up in the past clearly marked as Wipe and Non-Wipe (which I'm pretty sure I may have used before myself). The other thread he links to for the NL1 guide/files do too!

But in this, he does not. I'm grateful he takes the time to do these things, but the inconsistency in this post is not clear about whether any of the 3 methods does a wipe.

2. Because I've done it before going from Jellybean to Kitkat rooted just fine. Pretty much anyone who does OTA doesn't do it wipe either. And considering the method I did was the stock method, I presumed the same thing because it isn't stated unlike the other guides as mentioned and because it appeared no different than doing the OTA update. I spent about the time of that last post of mine you linked to until this post right now (aproximately 5 hours) just putting my phone back into closely the same state as I left it. It won't quite be there for days as I pick up on things I'm missing here and there from before. It isn't that far fetched someone doesn't want to spend that amount of time updating.

Heck, it required me to factory reset my Android Wear watch too! You can't just repair them apparently. That was a first.

I no doubt made a stupid move continuing without hearing for an answer, and in the end, no true harm was done because I did make a.... backup of sorts before hand just to be safe. But it still was a huge hit in time for me that I did not want or expected to do, as if the phone had bricked or something.

I just want to make it clear that reading definitely does not make it obvious in any way that the phone will wipe and there are reasons why someone would not want wipe. Its not that hard to imagine. I myself imagine the other guy wouldn't be asking if it was explicitly stated too. Its not about whether people are reading the OP or not. Its about it being conveyed.

EDITx50: In fact, I'm still perplexed if method 2 and 3 actually wipe anything at all because, as I mentioned in that previous comment, the thread linked says it *does not* when doing the NC2->NL1 root jump for "steps 1-5". It was vaguely mentioned on page 2 or 3 of this thread using default view that /data/ doesn't get wiped but the "individual files wipe"(?) without context as to what method or what extent of the "wipe" did in that case. And no one has yet to actually say if method 2 or 3 does. Now that I've setup my phone again to near working condition, I dare not attempt to go jumping back to root it until its all cleared up about what wipes and what doesn't. :P
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] colbur87:
Method 3 wipes... its says in the instructions to boot into safeStrap and advance wipe everything except MicroSD Card. I was just saying, no offence intended.

Reflashed back to NC2, followed procedure, stayed very patient for the 1st 10 minutes it took to get past the AT&T screen, and less patient for the next 12 minutes before it finally booted all the way.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SilverStone641:
Well, I applied the update and all was working well last night. I then started to remove the non-essentials with Titanium and went a little too far, causing FC's all over the place. I figured, no big deal, I'll just reboot, reflash and start over. When I went to reboot into Safestrap, the phone just cycled and came back to the home screen. I then tried rebooting to safestrap via the Safestrap app and now the phone won't boot fully. It'll show the Samsung note 3 logo, then go black for a period, reboot again and start system recovery mode. I've tried wiping data and cache and rebooting, but it always repeats the same loop. Boot to black, then reboot into recovery. I think I'm stuck. Does anyone know how to pull my dumbass out of this mistake?

EDIT: I tried reflashing SN-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip from the system recovery menu. Not sure if this was the best call, but I'm panicking over here. It tried to install, wiped data, restarted and started the loop all over again. I'm currently back at system recovery trying to come up with a new plan. Perhaps flashing from Odin?

That's one good thing I'll give samsung on the android and noob side of things, they make them nearly impossible to completely brick and need to jtag a device. Always a way to fully recover from whatever it is you're stuck in or at. LoL :good:

For future use, be sure to have this installed and maybe busybox and safestrap (even though ss incompatible, never hurts to have the files there and present just in case) http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/development/nc2-flasher-app-unsafe-t2989141 nc2 kernel flasher apk one click method.

And keep this http://www.mediafire.com/download/1...0A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip on your extsdcard at all times, it's a SafeStrap flashable OC1 kernel so you can fully boot back up out of SS when you're done in there.

If your phone is a AT&T N900A then your only root method is safestrap. But you can use internel sdcard.

I was rooted with safestrap and flashed the ROM. Worked perfectly.

When I went to reboot the phone about an hour later SU app popped up and asked for grant, which I accidentally hit yes before reading it. Whatever it did, the phone will no longer boot.

When I turn the phone on it shows the custom recovery lock screen, but then goes blank.

I can boot into recovery. But it is stock recovery.

I can boot into adb mode.

I tried installing the rom again in stock recovery and it failed.

I tried flashing the stock tar file in the thread below using oden and that failed.

Finally, I got my AT&T Note 3 rooted, and installed xposed as well successfully. In the meantime, I observed that intermittent reboot while I'm using Google Apps or other Apps.

Once it reboots and keep looping at the AT&T logo. Workaround is that unplugging battery and put it back in. wait 5-10 second, and power on will boot successfully, and another one is that used power off first and power on instead reboot from the menu when press & hold power button.

1. I don't know why it reboots while I'm using any apps.

2. Why it keep rebooting?

3. Have you had this issue so far?

Steps that I made:

1. Followed OP

2. Do the initial setup like google account.

3. Update Google Play service and update All Update

4. Update SuperSu, upgrade to SuperSu Pro

5. Install BusyBox Pro

6. Followed your step above to install Xposed.

7. Install Xposed modules: Moto Tether, Network Speed Indicator, Statusbar scroll to Top, Wanam Xposed, WiFiKeyView, Xposed Torch, Youtube AdAway.

Would you give me any idea and thoughts? Wonder if there is an issue in step 4, 5, and 7(modules)?

Thanks for responding,

I am using another carrier, and if I get it right, unlock from carrier remains after the flash.

I have successfully flashed OC1 via Odin. But I cannot get root.

If I get it right, the only way to get rooted Lollipop (and get Safestrap working in order to flash custom roms) is to flash firstly NC2, then root & Safestrap and then flash OC1?

Or, If I want to flash one of the custom roms on Lollipop (ex. DomPop), can I flash on the top of NC2 via Safestrap?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
correct, except for the lollipop needs to be a rooted install or a rooted TWRP backup. if your going to install a custom lolipop rom you need to install the OC1 firmware also (bootloader,kernel and modem)

Only problem is Xposed. Tomorrow the Lollipop version of that gets tried. I don't want an unrooted phone and I don't want one not running a few Xposed modules.
