if your on Lollipop you would be best to do the 4 files especially if your selling your phone, that way all your data is erased or remember to do a factory reset before you sell.

and also downgrading back to NC2 you might have issues or FC on some apps or your system might hang on AT&T boot animation if you do not do a factory reset ( data wipe)

After OC1 update, OTA updates still possible?

Just a quick question, will the AT&T OTA update process still work after updating a rooted NC1 SM-N900A smartphone with the rooted OC1 zip file? I've noticed that past KitKat rooted updates didn't always work with the OTA updates from AT&T.

Great work by the way on your informative posts! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
The first two things an update is supposed to check is which ROM you're running (different stock versions need different updates - non-stock ROMs can't be updates) and whether the phone has ever been rooted (even if it isn't any more). (Updating a phone that's been rooted can brick it.)

So it's not KitKat, it's not AT&T, it's Android. If you're at 5.0 rooted and an update comes along that you want, you have to flash the stock 5.0 ROM, update, then find a rooting method for the updated version. (It's the kernel that gets rooted, not the phone itself, and updates normally patch any rooting methods used in previous versions, so you can't use an older rooting method on a newer ROM - it just won't work.)

At the present time, we have 3 choices - stay on 4.4.2 if you want quick access to Safestrap (or a fully working Xposed), install Walter's rooted 5.0 if you don't mind having to flash the OC1 boot in Safestrap to get back to 5.0 or flash a stock 5.0 and stay unrooted.

How to update for stagefright patches?

Once I have rooted, and AT&T keeps sending the notification and tried to update the patches but it didn't go through with showing the patch update is interrupted.

And it keeps giving me a notification which there is update.

Rooted OC1 Success . . . What's Next?

Just finished the entire NC2 to OC1 rooting process, reloading apps, re-syncing, etc. Took a bit of practice and a few iterations, but learned the ins and outs of rooting and updating the SM-9005 smartphone. I hoping future Android roots won't be as involved . . .

Some questions if I may:

1. The Alliance ROM app states that there is an update available with these details: ROM Version - 08032015, ROM Date - Wed Feb25 21:57:23 KST 2015, Android version - 5.0. Is this update newer than the OC1 zip file that was uploaded to the Android File Host on April 2, 2015 1:38 AM? Should this be installed before updating to OC2? Will this break the current root?

2. Any recommendations as to anti-virus apps for rooted Lollipop (OC1 or OC2)? I installed (and uninstalled) several from the Play Store. Are there any anti-virus apps that can take advantage of root access like Titanium Backup, BusyBox, etc?

3. What's the best way to update rooted OC1 to rooted OC2 on the Note 3?

4. Any clue as to why the Alliance ROM website doesn't seem to have any info on the v10 ROM for the N9005? The site only lists v8. Just curious as I'm trying to keep some config control on updates.

As always, many thanks and kudos to you for your continued *expert* advice and contributions to this forum!

Thank you for the update. I followed the 2nd option from your post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006) because the 1st one doesn't work for OC2 update in recovery mode with my Note 3. I has many error like "no /sidepage/ folder.......", can't read the message because it disappears so fast. To restore OC2 backup, I had to backup first from my Note 3, and move your folder under my backup-ed folder which has different folder name(OC1 SafeTrap can't find the backuped folder) from yours(0b70b440)

I have several questions:

1. How can I install xposed framework like the one that from http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463 ? I don't think I can install xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-krait.zip.

2. When testing vulnerability for Stagefright on the backup-ed one, got below status. Any update in the future?

3. OC1 used to have SafeStrap(SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip) as we can see this OP (http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/update-procedure-lollipop-5-0-oc1-t3063760). Is there any SafeStrap for OC2 like this installer?

Thank you so much,

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
as for xpose , it won't work on a odexed system ( I'm working on a OC2 deodexed)

and for the kernel OC1 and OC2 kernels or identical, technically we have a OC1 rom with stagefright fix so they called it OC2 and changed the ver in the modem and stock recovery. so anything OC1 will work for OC2.

New to this thread with an odd rebooting problem with Safestrap 3.75 after successfully moving over to 0C1 as per OP.

Phone will power off and power back on fine. Does not show the screen to optionally go into Safestrap as it did with 4.4.2 Samsung Note3 Custom Screen > Samsung animation > ATT Logo > System

If I go into Safestrap from the Power Restart option, it will reboot into Safestrap. When I reboot to System from Safestrap, it will simply leave me with a black screen and never boot to the system.

I have to power down, go back to Safestrap, flash SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer again and reboot. It will then boot the phone properly.

Not a huge hassle but would like to avoid the extra step. Anything I did or have set wrong?

Thx all in advance.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

In re-reading OP, can I interpret what I experience above as normal operation and that I will have to reflash SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer every time I access Safestrap??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hitmizzle:
Yes. The reboot safestrap option installs the NC2 kernel so you can boot to safestrap. But if you exit safestrap without installing the OC1 kernel, you will get a black screen... then you would have to install the kernel through Odin.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Or just remember to reflash SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer (I named it OC1_Boot to make it easier for an old mind to remember what it's for) in Safestrap before restarting to the system. (Yes, I know it's the kernel, not aboot, I just like OC1_Boot.)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KTownGT:
You have to wipe/reinstall OC1 (I used the twrp backup), flash oc1 kernel, reboot into *stock* recovery, and flash the OTA "apply the update from sd" in order to install OC2.

Basically, the ROM won't OTA after we root our phones. Thus, we need to apply the update before android goes from official to custom

You'll still have root. You just need to flash OTA (as mentioned above), restart into SafeStrap, & flash SuperSU 2.50. 2.50 has some nice bug fixes (and Marshmellow support, apparently!)
