here is odin installer, but if you miss the recovery installer your phone would have rebooted in safestrap boot screen, if you missed the screen and did not select recovery, you just hold the power button until phone reboots and be ready to touch recovery to get to safestrap recovery and then flash the kernel, if you never get to safestrap recovery then you messed up the safestrap partition some how and you need to start over with safestrap NC2 to get the safestrap recovery installed again...

Note 3 newbie needs to be sure I am using the latest method of rooting and flashing.

Hey I just want to be sure I am doing this correctly! I have been flashing and rooting my phones since the HTC Hero but this one is confusing and tons of info old and new so I can't be sure about the method without asking. By the way my last name is White also. Lol! Anyway I have downloaded Towelroot, going to install it and then busybox, then Safestrap rec. DL+install. I have already downloaded OC1 Rooted Rom. So I enable usb debug, install Towelroot, install busybox, install Safestrap, launch Safestrap, wipe and install rooted OC1 , finally reboot. Is this correct? What about SU App? I do have the instructions for accessing Safestrap in lollipop so I don't get loop. Anything else I missed? Thanks for all your hard work and time! M. White
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cmdru1980:
I just now did this and my phone IS rooted ON OC1 BUT, for some reason my phone freezes for a few seconds about once an hour when i'm typing but, nothing else is going on other than background running programs that never gave me any problems on NC2. You got any idea why that might be? I was thinking maybe a corrupted download but, it doesn't show any signs of it other than the freezing. If you can help it'd be much appreciated and if you need any other info, let me know, please?

Thank you, Heisenberg.

I don't want any problems. LOL.

Seriously though. Thanks for your complete coverage of the Note 3 even still now. :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rlj4214:
oops I guess

So I tried your easy procedure.

Got a message saying it failed. :(

Finally booted and went directly to upgrade from AT&T

So...

It's doing that now.

It was 4.4.2 I think it was that was on the box to begin with.

I guess Ill let finish it's update and see what happens when I try to use the second safestrap method you outlined.

Hope I didn't screw up too bad. :confused:

Thanks for al you efforts.

Need Help! note 3 4.4.4 nj5

Hi, I am on at&t note 3 nj5 4.4.4. how do i updgrade it to lollipop. your forum said it should be nl1. so how do i work around it. thanks in advance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rlj4214:
Well I got it to work sorta.

Used Odin and went back to 4.4.2

Then tried it again

Titanium backup is restoring now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rlj4214:
AT&T update install kills it and I have to reinstall the ROM

I like the ROM but it does seem to have a couple of issues. Maybe it's just my phone or something.

It has crashed every time AT&T tries to push an update without fail and I have to reinstall.

Froze the update app from AT&T and will try it again.

I have removed a couple of apps and have backed up my phone and card to my computer and will try it again.

Not sure what the deal is but it would be nice to get an update especially if it eradicates stagefright.

Any input would be appreciated.

Y'all take care and thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timlyg:
My new phone comes with N900AUCUEOC1, will it root?

I bought this AT&T galaxy note 3 from ebay. It comes with N900AUCUEOC1.

I cannot tell if it is stock or not, assuming stock means "original OS that comes with the device". I'm still learning.

I've tried towelroot v3 and Kingroot, no luck.

Will the method in this thread work for me?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
No, stock means that it has a real SAMSUNG ROM - no modification, no rooting. The phone can come with Jelly Bean and someone can fllash OC! to it and, if it's the stock OC1, it's still stock.

You won't have. Read post #2. You have to start with NC2 or NL1. (You can flash either with Odin.) Then, once your phone is at version 4, you can use this version to flash to 5. (I've been through a few of Walter's mods, including this one. I just decided that I can't stand 5, so I want back to 4.)

Backflash to 4 and you should be able to flash to a rooted 5 (and probably be an old man by the time you're through - flashing ROMs is slow and boring).

Thanks.[/QUOTE]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timlyg:
Thank you

You explained it very clear. Especially for newbie like me. Thanks, Rukbat.

I got the NC files from the MEGA site following the posts of this thread, wiped out my note 3 in recovery boot, had Odin install everything. Now, it's downgraded to 4.4.2 and rooted via towelroot.

I am hesitant to try lollipop since Namelesswonder mentioned something about getting bootloop with rooted 5.0, which is caused by Xposed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Birbey:
OC1 can not be rooted you have to odin the older versions then root if you want
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timlyg:
Thanks

Thanks Birbey, I think Rukbat explained it already.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
That's one of the reasons I reverted back to 4.4.2 - Finding the right pair of Xposed binary and app for the version of Android. 4.4.2 made it a lot simpler and I don't need the security of 5.x.

Safestrap

I have followed the instructions to flash Lollipop to my ATT Note 3 from this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 and it works perfectly with root but I cannot boot into Safestrap. I have installed Busybox Pro and Safestrap. On boot I can push where the 'recovery' button would be (bottom right) but it just boots to home.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
You have to run the NC4 installation app first, then it'll boot into SS. Once in SS, to get back to Lollipop, you have to run the Lollipop bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tupirujp:

Hi, I succesfully installed the rom but when I choose to restart to safestrap recovery not always goes into safestrap recovery and when it does after I flash the zip I want to flash and choose to reboot to system it shows a message saying that safestrap is disabeld and its unable to boot the system.

How do I prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] butchieboy:
Did you flash the OC1 kernel safestrap installer?..what method did you use?.. not trying to step on your toes Walter

Yes I did flash safestrap installer.

I followed these steps:

1. downgrade to Kit Kat

2. rooted the phone with towelroot

3. Installed safestrap

4. flashed zip to install lollipop

5. flashed the OC1 kernel safestrap installer
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] butchieboy:
Dont forget busybox

Xposed Problems?

[MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION] You don't any problems with Xposed?

I barely install this ROM but there's people saying have problems with the app, because is causing Bootloops at the stock Samsung roms.

EDIT: I installed xposed app and the framework.

Then my Note 3 won't Start just I can see a black screen. I install the ROM again and we'll I start again... but it's a solution to xposed for that without delete everything?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] NightlockX80:
Explanation required for a noob please

Hey man. Just wanted to know if anyone could explain this guide to me because I'm a complete starter on custom recoveries. I just want to get a custom ROM that gives me Lollipop on my KitKat Note 3 (AT&T), because the update isn't available for me through the default method in About Device.

Please start from the beginning. Thanks for helping out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power5:
So to root a 5.0 att Note3 I have to revert to kitkat? I am trying to root so that I can do an app data backup since I cannot seem to find a non root app that can backup the app data.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PavelMan:
My AT&T N900A on 442 still does not take this update

1. Downloaded the .zip and saved it on external sd.

2. Rebooted into Safestrap.

3. Wiped everything except the external-sd.

4. Flashed the .zip download above called, "SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip"

5. Got a red error message, saying something about signature verification.

After reboot it keeps booting into "Android system recovery <3e>", and no option from there seems to help load something meaningful...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
That means that your download is bad. Download it again. (You boot into recovery because you have no valid Android partition - because the flash failed.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] megamorphg:
Xposed

Thank you your instructions worked perfectly... including the part about flashing the kernel after exiting SS (even if I didn't do anything in SS, it seems to require this).

Has anyone been successful installing Xposed btw? I'm going to try it out once I set everything up and take a nandroid backup...

Using the following xposed instructions for lollipop:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] megamorphg:
Deodex?

Hi Walter,

Any chance you could deodex (maybe even debloat) the ROM?

Because the dalvik-cache is 8GB.

I installed the same things as I did in previous DK ROM and overall this ROM takes ~10GB more space on the 32GB internal.

Want to root my note 3 sm n900a AT&T
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Bonderitu, just follow the procedures in post #2 in this thread.

(Remember, use the kernel in /sdcard/OC1_Kernel/ to return from Safestrap or you'll run into Google apps problems., and use the Power menu to get back to Safestrap from the ROM for the same reason. (BenWaffle's NC2 boot doesn't seem to work correctly on this ROM.)

Hello

Am trying to install this lollipop rom in a note 3.

everything goes flawlessly, but after all steps, I reboot to OC1, complete the wizard then I notice: the back key doesnt work and the menu key when touched acts as if it was hold pressed.

If I downgrade to NC2 stock, all keys works well.

I have done the process about 4 times with same result...

any idea?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jimmijam07:
A couple questions...

My AllianceRom v12 install recently went on the fritz with NFC consistently force closing.

I've gone about to install this ROM but have encountered issues with regards to restoring my full Titanium Backup I created before wiping AR v12 off my device.

Seeing that AR v12 is a port from a SM-N9005 ROM, when I do a full restore from TB it renders the device unusable and forces me to restart back to loading 4.4.2 via ODIN and using TR to reinstall SS.

All I'm wanting to restore from my backup is Call Logs, Messages, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth pairings and a handful of apps. What in particular should I restore from my backup to achieve this?

Also, looking for a SS script that I can flash that will take care of all AT&T/Samsung bloatware from this ROM. I have some scripts for 4.4.2/4.4.4 but it doesn't get rid of all pieces of bloatware from the ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jimmijam07:
Is there a ODIN flashable copy of this ROM available?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] butchieboy:
Doubt that you will get a response bumping such a old thread. I did the very easy method to see if I could help. I get nothing but problems when installing. Followed everything to the letter. Bootloops when trying to get back to safestrap. Device will not turn on. Odin back to NC2 start over. Works for a lil while. Try to get into safestrap even after flashing oc1 kernel once I do get into safestrap..samsung splash screen then sits at At&t logo for about an hour. So good luck..lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
I've never had a problem with Walter's ROM.

To boot from Lollypop to Safestrap, run NC2 Flasher (it's included as an app in the ROM), restart (normal restart, not restart to recovery) and watch for the Safestrap loading page. (If you miss it, the normal boot will proceed after about 10 seconds, and you'll boot into a black screen, because the NC2 kernel can't boot the OC1 ROM.) Press Safestrap (lower left corner) and you'll be in Safestrap.

To boot back to Lollypop after you've done what you needed to do in Safestrap, use Safestrap to flash SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip (see Post #2 in this thread) and reboot.

You can't boot into the ROM with the NC2 kernel or into Safestrap with the OC1 kernel.

@ jimmijam07:

You don't install the ROM with Odin, you install Safestrap in 4.4.2, then use Safestrap to install this ROM. If you don't want Safestrap, there are other OC1 and OC2 ROMS in the AT&T Note 3 section that you can flash with Odin. Walter has one in this thread, the all-in-one if you want to keep your files and apps, the individual files if you want to start fresh. (You can't install Safestrap once you're in Lollipop, which is why this whole thing was done.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] butchieboy:
Yeah did all that. Flashed everything correct, I undetstand the procedure I have been flashing for quite awhile but thanks for posting. I think I will try it again just for fun as I am a true flashoholic.[emoji1]

Any idea?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] coolest35:
Bump.. I get the same issue. Have just downloaded this stock rom and flashed via SS.. lets see if it works.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
It can take a long time for that "Android is upgrading ..." message to finish - 10-20 minutes if you have enough apps installed. Maybe even longer.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] coolest35:
But at every restart? That's odd.. as i've owned several android devices and none of them have had this issue. :confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
At every restart unless you allow it to complete. I've had Walter's ROM running since probably the summer of 2015, and once it completed, it never did that again. (Unless I backed that ROM up and flashed another one, as I've done a few times - then each new ROM did it.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Alaxmofo:
Does anybody know how to enable theme support on this lollipop? I've found the one here "https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751883" but I think it's for nc2. Cause seclauncher4 isn't in system/priv-app. ROMs I get from the Android development except this one have horrendous lag for me. And I don't like the KitKat roms so I'm kinda stuck with this for now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] coolest35:
Anyone know a good way to recover pictures/videos found on the phone prior to flashing this?

I accidentally lost everything (total dumbass, I know), so attempting to run a few android based recovery programs, but no luck... I haven't done anything to provoke writing over the data..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Internal? There are undelete apps that will work - except that you have to install the app, and the phone has to be rooted, so you're going to lose some of what's "lost" because parts will get overwritten. (Which is why the god of cellphones invented backups.)

If it's on the SD card, just run PhotoRec on it (instructions at PhotoRec Step by Step ).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KingT2018:
Problem downloading MD5 File

Can any one tell me how to turn my downloaded zip file into the MD5 file that it is supposed to be when you download it from this post?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
The file you download in post #2 is a SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip. You don't unzip it, you install it when you're in Safestrap. (Tap the Install button, then choose that file and slide the bottom slider.

If you look at https://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/development/8-24-15-t3185574, you'll find an OC2 ROM - it's just a little later update. (I just installed it on one of my Note 3s today.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paulckruger:
Success. Note 3 N900A

I was successful in moving to a fully rooted ATT Note 3 (which I have no intention of using on ATT :D)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Then, unless you're using an AT&T MVNO, you'll also have to unlock. (Rooting doesn't SIM-unlock.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Tonyo2018:
Dose my AT&T Note 3 need to be rooted before I do the zip install through the boot strap?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Zip install of what? Walter's ROM? (I'd install carl1961's OC2 zip at https://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/development/8-24-15-t3185574 - it's later.) But yes, you need to root the phone, then install Busybox, then install Safestrap, then you can install the OC1 or OC2 ROM. (I'm running the OC2 currently. Be careful - if you use Xposed a lot, you can't when you convert to OC1 or OC2 [or, at least, I haven't been able to get it to work].)

Do all the installations up to the Safestrap installation. Then back up what you have. Get Walter's Safestrap Power Menu zip (from carl's thread, post 1, item 3 - I can't find the thread Walter posted it to). Flash the LP ROM, then flash the menu (It makes Safestrap just a menu item away). Also download the SM-N900A_N900AATTEOC2_Firmware_Recovery-Flashable.zip, so once you're in Safestrap, you can get back to Android. (Safestrap only works if you boot in NC2, these ROMS only work if you boot in OC1 or OC2.) I know it sounds like a lot, but if you do it a few times, it becomes almost automatic.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] waratwoeld:
battery performance?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
I really can't remember (I've been running the Pixel 2 since February), but it didn'y get worse - if it had, I'd have reflashed 4.4.4 or 4.4.2.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
There's an app named NC2, that flashes the kernel. You run that app while in OC2, so that when you reboot, you reboot to Safestrap. Then, when you're finished, in Safestrap you flash the OC2 boot to reboot to OC2.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerryspring:
Would this be the process for flashing any lollipop and higher rom?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
No, just for being able to run SafeStrap if you're running Lollipop. SafeStrap runs from the KitKat boot file. Lollipop runs from the Lollipop boot file (which you have to flash from SafeStrap to get back to Lollipop).

yeah already on NC2, rooted, busybox and safestrap installed...so first couple of steps does not necessarily apply to me..I followed alternate/easier method...i just did it, it is waiting on ATT boot animation now...almost like 5 mins or so, probably re-building all the dalvik caches or something...I cross my fingers and hoping it will boot OK

edit: finally it passed ATT boot logo animation, and now says Android is upgrading...that was scary when it was on ATT boot animation for more than 5 mins!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tomit12:
I originally used method 2 prior to the edit. Basically, I did all the steps up to flashing lollipop (which failed), so I flashed the partitions in download anyway, flashed the NC2 kernel back, then successfully flashed lollipop and did the Odin of the partitions again, just in case. :D

Seems to be working fine, but I might just give method 3 a whirl, since I'm always paranoid something will be off somewhere when I have to use a workaround. In any event, this is really exciting, thank you!

Just a quick note for the inexperienced - When you really get down to it, the easiest method to tell if you might need a backup is to ask yourself - Am I doing anything to my phone other than turning it on and using it the way the manufacturer intended? If yes, then you need a backup. I don't care if a dev or the deity of your choice comes floating to you on a cloud and proclaims that whatever you're about to do won't wipe your data... Make a backup.
