No root now with NL1

Hi, I downloaded a bad file last night and lost my rom image. After using ODIN to restore the NL1 non root, now I don't know how to get root back. I've done some google searching I cant find any instructions on how to get back root on 4.4.4. Also, I don't have Safestrap since I have no root, can anyone help?

Thanks!

Kernel

Thanks to everyone who has put in work on this project.

Now that we have a Lollipop kernel, does that mean that we can flash other Note 3 Lollipop Roms?

I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

Thanks!

Wow really your right reading is and if you did so before jumping in with that then you would know that in post 2 there is indeed a very easy method which I had a fix for but didn't move it to my SD card before I factory reset and started over and deleted it anyway thanks for the weird attitude [emoji16]

I am seeing a strange issue where my phone is constantly saying "Searching using GPS..." It won't stop. I tried disabling google location history and that didn't help. Of course if i disable location services altogether, it'll stop, but i don't want to do that. Anyone else seeing this?

*EDIT* NM.. Reboot cleared the issue.

So I'm trying to do option #3 and I've restored the backup, then flashed the file N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 - however now my phone is just sitting there after rebooting - I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 boot screen, but nothing is happening - how long should it stay like that? This is probably the 10th time I've gotten to this point - every time after waiting about 20-30 minutes I give up and go back to NC2 and re-root and re-install SS.

I've been having issues getting the backups to restore properly - sometimes they don't always work...

Any news on that really simple method that WW is working on? Any advice anyone can give me? I've done this sort of thing many times before, but I don't remember having to wait this long afterwards for the phone to boot the first time..

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gangpe:
Yeah, after I cleared the data, the phone settled down. I re-entered my google info, then I was up and running again. Reverting was an option at one point, but I wanted some of the lollipop features (muti-user,multi-windows) and smoothness, so I decided to stick it out. I'd try it again, so let me know if you need help.

Hey buddy just flash t-mobile alliance lollipop rom and use that until these guys get online works great I'm using it now. To be honest it's better because it's already modifiable
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] unloop:
I have a question about the nc2 flasher apk. I am a little confused, you install the apk and hit flash to restart and get back to safestrap. Once in safestrap I take it you need to flash another zip to get back into your normal phone. My question is what file do I need to flash in SS for this ROM?

Post#266 has what you need

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roloracer:
I went the method 3 route, and soft brick my phone, sort of, followed everything to a T, but apparently internal data might get you stuck on boot screen so whoever gets stuck on boot screen, like I did, go into stock recovery and wipe data ( it will wipe internal SD card) and it booted right away after. Now everything is working silky smooth.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] koncinar:
Thank you Walter White - I was just able to upgrade to Lollipop! Now my life will be sweeter. ;)

BTW, for others that want to use the non-rooted version: You can install it without SD card. The steps are similar to All you need to do differently is:

1. Reboot into recovery

2. connect the phone to the computer via cable (on windows you'll probably have to wait for drivers to install)

2. select "apply update over ADB" (instead of "apply update from external sd" in the original instructions)

3. push the update file with adb command in cmd "adb sideload N900A_OC1_Stock-Lollipop.zip" (I've renamed the file because my cmd didn't go well with "%")

4. you can see the progress on phone and it will reboot when it's updated

Note that you need adb installed on your computer.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roloracer:
Go the method 3 route and you'll be good to go, I was on alliance and that's what I did, but just a heads up backup internal memory card, because you'll probably have to wipe data in stock recovery which will delete internal SD card but will give you a truly clean install, I've had 0 issues since yesterday and running smooth.

Stock Odin nc2

then root

Then busy box

Then ss

Then supers

Now download alliance v1.1

Once in ss flash rom then flash Carl's 0c1 recovery.

Then wipe 2 times

Now boot

[MENTION=5575828]Walter.White[/MENTION] - HOPEFULLY ODIN'ing the NC2 all-in-one file over Rooted NL1.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
That might work but if you are moving to Lollipop why not just start fresh ;) All-In-One file doesn't wipe /data/ but the individual files do in fact wipe.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:
That's what I'm hoping for...

You recommend that I use the individual ODIN files and wiping everything clean in the process?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] turpinator97:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ThaiFighterGo:
Y'all the instructions that [MENTION=5575828]Walter.White[/MENTION] posted are clear as day. I'm on NJ5, first of all backup your stuff, I used Kies 3. Then used Odin(after searching for it err'where!) to flash to NL1. After I loaded it into my SD card and used the Power+Up+home to boot to recovery, then BOOM! Lollipop. I don't care about root, so it works for me and my use. For the ppl that have their Note unlocked, it's still unlocked after the update.(In case anyone was wondering.) Now, time up restore all my crap.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] benwaffle:
if I use the NC2 all-in-one is that the only file i need to get to NC2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nickelocene:
Little confused. After those steps, do we get a rooted 5.0 or stock 5.0 unrooted?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] markovianmind:
rooted
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Correct.. That one file will restore your phone's /system/ partition to Stock but it won't wipe /data/ so you *might* get FCs depending on which ROM you were before. But those individual files will wipe the /data/
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
Alright everything went flawless. Walter.White I am currently compressing the hell out of a Safestrap backup of the OC1 system and uploading it to Mega, should take around 40 minutes, and in the mean time I will dip around in trying out Xposed and see if it truly bootloops. I will probably revert back to NC2 and restore my DynamicKat because we need some init.d and deodex from carl1961.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] benwaffle:
There's no such thing as deodex with ART.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
Ah yes, forgot. Well then just have to wait for init.d.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
[MENTION=5575828]Walter.White[/MENTION]

have you patched a recovery.img yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
[MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] Yes. Its in here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934545855 All the files in that .md5 is OC1.

[MENTION=5689426]Namelesswonder[/MENTION] So I'm guessing you installed/followed Rooted OC1 procedure? How did it work? Were you able to boot and get to homescreen?

[MENTION=4402483]benwaffle[/MENTION] It turns out that you can actually deodex Lollipop. http://www.xda-developers.com/deodex-lollipop-system-apps-with-ease/

Lollipop apps have xxxx.odex.xz and xxxx.odex.art.xz in each app folder.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
Yep went totally fine, SuperSU worked, was able to use the NC2 flasher to get into Safestrap, and was able to use [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] 's OC1 kernel flasher for Safestrap. Anyway I'll now be going back to NC2 because Xposed DOES BOOTLOOP YOUR DEVICE. So everyone stay away from Xposed or else you will have to take the route all over again. Anyway the Safestrap OC1 system backup is done compressing and I will throw it up on MEGA right now. :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Awesome.. So far we have had success for both procedures.. NON-Rooted as well as Rooted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] m0biusace:
Just tried the rooted method. Followed the steps exactly, including only doing steps 1-5 of the NL1 update (and not flashing the NL1 partitions via odin). After flashing the OC2 partitions and rebooting the phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 boot screen (what you see when you first turn on the phone), yet the AT&T boot sound plays as if the boot is continuing. Left it alone for 10 minutes and its still at the boot screen.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Namelesswonder:
[MENTION=5575828]Walter.White[/MENTION] Alright so the Safestrap OC1 system backup has finished and here is the link: https://mega.co.nz/#!csoVwZbC!_c1roRCZlbXLp-xsslJmegokWnCzZ2T2SwgkEiq40xQ

The file is a 7z file with ultra compression and 7zip said it should take around ~1GB to decompress. The original folder size is about ~2.3GB and the compressed is down to 1.3GB. Not sure if you need it, but might as well upload it.

screen shot is working fine here

picture is a screen shot of spen's screen shot and also proof I'm on OC1

reason you see the pen launcher is I tried to screen shot the screen shot with the pen and it did not seem to do that one, so I used power + menu button to get that screen shot of spen's screenshot , spen's screen shot lets you edit it
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
Is there a specific reason why mine is not working though? I went back to 4.4.4 and it worked, updated to 5.0 and it won't take screen shots anymore. My launcher and all the different features of the pen work, except the screenshot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
what steps did you do for updating to 5.0

if I was to guess most likely those with issue did Option 3 (TWRP backup)

Option 2 is confirmed working spen screen shot

I cannot confirm Option 2 install step myself, I used my own OTA files
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roloracer:
I used step 3, came from alliance rom, went to nc2 , used twrp backup of 5.0 then odin'ed final all partitions for 5.0, got stuck on boot screen so I went back to stock recovery and wiped data and everything went smooth as silk from there. Didn't even noticed the spen screenshot issue until now.

no thats not correct, press second icon (screen capture) on the right of spen launcher or you have to press button on pen close to screen to pop up the spen launcher then press second icon (screen capture) on the right of launcher

looks like they did away with that pressing spen on screen to capture screen
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
The first time I updated was with option 3, then I redid the process with option 2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nickelocene:
Just to report, I used Method 3, the easier procedure. As I was on 4.4.2 and rooted with Towelroot before. I started from step 3. I didn't do Step 10 to restore my user data. After the Odin step, phone rebooted in about 3 minutes without any problem. After initial setup, everything was running fine. I noticed that the "Advanced Wipe" from SS didn't wipe anything from my internal SD card. So I did a hard reset again to start everything from scratch.

Now, I love the notification on the lock screen and notification bar changes color with your screen. I have no problem with S-Pen taking screening shot. Phone doesn't over heat with some Online games anymore. Battery life seems to be the same. Program runs faster for sure and WIFI signal is better.

The only problem I found is that every time I restart the phone, I see that big "CUSTOM" with an open lock sign under the "Galaxy Note 3" start screen. Current Binary still says Samsung Official, but the System Status becomes "Custom". Knox Warranty still 0x0. This glitch doesn't both me much. Just wondering if this is supposed to be, or I missed something along with way.

Ok, I'm about to follow method #3 from the OP.

Just to be clear, if I'm already rooted on a custom NC2 ROM (and had to originally follow steps 1-4 of method 3 to get there), do I still need to follow steps 1-4 and go back to stock NC2 again?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nickelocene:
I think Samsung changed the capture command "Screen Write" to the 4th icon on the launcher in this update. Use to be the third if I remember correctly. One more way to do the screen capture is the palm swipe from side to side, doesn't matter which direction.

So i tried for the 3rd time and all is well so far. No pop ups of "... has stopped" messages. Battery life does seem slightly better, but too early to tell.
