[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hashbrown:
First page, read OP. There are multiple ways to update to OC1. Gotta downgrade to 4.4 on NC2 or NL1 first. I used the AP_NC2_FIRMWARE_N900AUCECMLG.tar.md5*from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 . it's instructions are listed several times. I used this method several times until I got what I wanted right.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Xposed for Lollipop TW is here!!!!!!

1. Install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk from here

2. Reboot to SS and Flash this zip

3. That's it. [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] tried it and it works! :)​

I have looked all over xda.. I am really confused. I finally decided to root my samsung note 3 n900a. Currently I have the stock att lollipop that Walter uploaded. Now there are so many different ways to root and I am so lost on which procedure to follow and which details. Can someone please send me exact directions or a link that has the directions laid out. Every link that is posted goes to a specific post not the exact instructions. Please someone help me. I have looked for like a 1 hour and a half. I also am on stock lollipop not rooted. Also, are there any good lolipop roms out for n900a yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
Are you sure this is supposed to get Viper4Android working? I was able to get MultiSystem running and it set SELinux to permissive, but V4A still says abnormal and refuses to work, even after 2 hours of trying different APKs with different permissions with different installation methods. Nothing has gotten it to work. Starting to feel like I should go back to KitKat.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] akv22:
Could u please help me with rooting my stock lollipop?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
If you do have Safestrap still installed on your phone:

Flash the NC2 kernel in Odin, boot to Safestrap, install the very easy rooted ROM, flash OC1 kernel while in Safestrap.

If you don't have Safestrap installed (or if the above method doesn't work):

Downgrade back to NC2, root with towelroot, install Safestrap, boot to Safestrap, and follow the very easy steps.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] akv22:
where are the instructions for the second method? Can you please send me a link or a detailed list..please
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
Download these files: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59667037&postcount=4

Download Odin if you haven't already: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712465432

Get into download mode on your phone by holding down the power button, volume down, and home button when it is turned off.

Plug it into your computer and open Odin

Click on the various AP, CP, BL, and CSC buttons and select the proper files, they are all named.

Make sure the boxes next the buttons are checked

Click start and let it go through.

From there you should be able to get everything up and running.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] s205702:

I have a question also which was mentioned before regarding Safestrap after following "Very Easy" method - but my issue is slightly different. I am on OC1 and rooted as I did follow the "Very Easy" procedure also and I was never able to get Safestrap to work. Do I need to start the process all over again (Odin back to 4.4.2) to get Safestrap to work or is there another shortcut procedure that I can use since I am already rooted on OC1?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
try using the NC2 flasher apk or odin install the NC2 kernel, if safestrap does not show up then you need to start over

NC2 Flasher by benwaffle

From 4.4.4 Rom's

install and give SuperSU rights, Press "Flash NC2 Kernel" kernel will install. then press OK to Reboot , or use your back arrow if your not ready to reboot. [MENTION=4402483]benwaffle[/MENTION] Latest UPDATE app is AWESOME!! ;)

so i came a cross a problem this weekend i wanted to unlock my note 3 to use it on different network and now i cant because the code wont kick in it wont send me to the menu.

Dial *#197328640#

is there a reason why should i go back to stock kitkat and try it or is there something worg..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DorkyDev:
Have you tried just simply inserting a non-compatible sim and then entering the unlock code, or shortcut master, maybe samsung phone info secret menu codes within those two app's? I noticed when I tried to access secret menu's it'd take a minute or two for the menu's to finally popup.

LoL! I always sim unlock my phone first thing when I get it, due to being on metroPCS, also to avoid these complications.

_

I'd test it but I'm on the note edge now and don't have a note 3 anymore.

That's the one reason why ya should retrograde for a short period of time, just to sim unlock it, then back to lollipop, but a foreign sim card should prompt ya with the option to input the unlock code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nemesisgx:
thats the thing ATT are being DICKS about it i bought the phone out right and now they are telling me the phone needs to be on there service for 6 moths. so they would not give me the unlock code . so i try to do the back door unlock but the menu wont show up/
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DorkyDev:
Yeah that's the biggest bunch of bull larky I've ever heard, by law I thought now, they have to give you the unlock code after the device is a year old, nothing saying you "have to" be on their service for a certain amount of time to obtain a unlock code.

Try GoPhone technical support, they're morons pretty much! They gave me my Note 2 unlock code once and I was NEVER even a customer of either providers. LoL!

Or who are ya trying to switch to or is it because you're traveling outside the country? If another carrier, Cricket is AT&T and don't require a unlock code. But it could never hurt to give them the lie of having to travel outside of the country because of work and you'd like to be able to still use the phone. They MIGHT fall for it. haha

Or I think I bought my unlock code off ebay for 5 to 15 bucks, can't remember how much exactly, but it wasn't overly expensive.

However in this case unlocking it the freeby way, I think your best bet would be to odin flash to the earliest firmware, then try it. Cause most certainly samsung has already patched it in the more recent firmwares.

eBay n900a unlock code for $10.06 and they'll provide ya with a unfreeze code too if ya accidentally enter the wrong code

Hey Carl, thanks for the info - not sure why but it worked with big issues -

I downloaded and installed the NC2 Kernel flasher, gave SU permission and flashed, now I cant complete the boot up process. It keeps getting me to the Safestrap selection for "Recovery" or "Continue" and I select continue but it then goes into Android system recovery. Not sure what to do but I am sure I can get into download mode and Odin install back to 4.4.2 to start over. I was able to use Safestrap to flash the OC1 kernel and of course no more Safestrap but everything else is still in place.

Any other suggestions before I go back to 4.4.2 to try this all over again?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] chitown835:
You have to flash the oc1 kernel to boot back to lollipop
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nemesisgx:
yeah im doing a business trip so thats no lie and i need the phone unlock to use it overseas but im going to try what you recommended and see what they say Gophone if not im going to have to pay for the code or go back to NC2 and see if it lets me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hoyt Thompson:
I think I am hosed

OK So I left OC1 for a while and thought I would go back to it.

I was on NC2 w/ SS and loaded the Zip file I used the first time and booted into SS and went into advanced wipe and checked everything except the microSD card.

once that was done I went back to the main screen of SS and installed the zip file as I have done before.

flash time was as expected and I thought I was on my way. I forgot about the play store problems but thought I would just install the play store gapps that we used back on the fisrt or second page.

so after the 15 minute wait to get to the setup screen i started getting the errors and fc of play services and so forth.

as I tried to work around the pop ups to get me to throuugh the setup I got to the wifi setup and after that the screen went black and nothing more.

I did a factory reset and tried again. same problem.

OK fine lets odin back to NC2

boot up in the bootloader "download" mode and now no pc will recocognize the device. CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

2 pc and 3 cables and none will even hint that their is a device on the other end of the USB,

what am I to do now?

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

not sure what happened or what to do at this point. Never seen anything like this.

Proximity Sensor?

Since I flashed this some months ago (thanks, Walter!), I have had no proximity sensor while on a call. So, my ear or cheek becomes a touch screen terror while I'm talking - toggling WiFi & Bluetooth, changing display settings, and other stuff.

Has anyone else had this issue? I noticed a post about three pages back, but no one answered it. I've tried re-flashing, re-downloading and re-flashing, and basically just cussing it, but nothing works. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hoyt Thompson:
OK I can get into safestrap, I am redownloading OC1 and going to flash again.

iof this goes bonkers again. I can just wipe OC1 from safestrap and load the rooted NL1 from muniz correct??????

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
the rule is, if you got safestrap and can boot into safestrap, and you or going to install any custom lollipop rom's, then you do not need to do nothing but install that rom and then odin or recovery install the OC1 lollipop firmware (not the rom).

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshuaburnsjr:
More clarification needed.

Do you mean installing the apk. Or do you actually mean installing and running multisystem where it is up and running to modify a copy of this ROM. Installing the apk does not reveal an obvious "switch or toggle " to make the change to permissive.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
You'll have to follow the guide and format your mSD card, however you don't need to setup any virtual ROMs for MultiSystem to set SELInux to permissive. However, it still did not fix the issue of Viper4Android not working, it was like the policies were still being enforced. If you want Viper4Android to work you can follow my guide in the general section.

Also a word of forewarning, I haven't been able to uninstall MultiSystem and use something like SafeStrap without my phone constantly looping to recovery and having to reflash, so just watch out as MultiSystem is pretty complex.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshuaburnsjr:
Setting SElinux to Permissive

Thanks for the response. I saw the guide. However i can't use any file browser to access root folders or write, for example when using ES File Explorer and going into setting to enable root access, i always get the message "Sorry test failed, this feature can not be run on your device." No the next question i had was is the device rooted. So SU works, Busybox is installed, i also have a couple of other apps that require rooting. However the Permission in setting are "Enforcing". No other rooted ROM i have ever used has been set to permissive. Also on a side note. I did get Multisystem to work to the tee, however it does not have an option that i saw to change the Permissions from enforcing to permissive. Time for more reading.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Aielman:
Ok.

So here's the problem I have.

I've now tried 3 different times to go through the steps to put on 4.4.2, then root it with towel root, add busybox, and get safestrap installed and working. As long as it's on NC2, I can enter safestrap and do what I need to do.

The problem I have is, no matter which set of instructions for getting NL1 on that I use, or which of the stock roms I've used, I end up with a rooted NL1, with busybox installed (or able to be installed), and safestrap installed (or able to be installed), but am not able to reboot into recovery, nor is the recovery button available during a reboot, once I get NL1 installed (Followed the instructions on this thread the last time http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357).

So the problem I then have is that I can't get into safestrap recovery to then install lollipop. I've done a search to see if anyone else has this problem, but I'm not finding anything on a work around.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
You need to do a better job searching lol. Go to the development section and download NC2 flasher, it will get you into Safe Strap. Also, download the OC1 kernel so after you flash OC1, you flash the kernel before you boot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
MultiSystem does not have a switch for setting SELinux modes, once you have it installed it will automatically set SELinux to permissive, as long as you see the LED turn green on boot. However, I am questioning if it actually does change the policies, as if it did then Viper4Android would have worked, but it didn't and I had to find another method. For ES File Explorer, I did some searching and you should try reinstalling it and trying again, and remember to grant it su access. If you give me an hour or so I can make a flashable zip that you can use with FlashFire that will do the modifying steps for you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshuaburnsjr:
Hang tight might have a little success. So i uninstalled ES File Explorer, and downloaded ES File Explorer 3 from the Play Store. Went to settings and enabled root access. And so far i was able to create the "Viper4Android" folder. Stay tuned i'll report back shortly.
