I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.
I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.
Good luck.
Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.

Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.
I will show you the steps in brief.
1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2
2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.
3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.
Software download:
REMOVED
After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.
4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.
After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“
Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.
Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.

Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l

Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.

Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.

Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.

Did you use the chinese software?
Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.
Yes I used the Chinese software.

I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.
I flashed the 4.3 leak and rooted using vroot. I replaced the superuser app with supersu. I'll report back in a few days if I run into any problems.

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...

Theres a new one click root solution floating around called Kingo Android Root. The website states it works on all version up to & including 4.3. It also includes a good number of sammy devices in its supported list. Im wondering if it will work for the ATT note 3 which doesnt have a root solution yet. Im willing to guinea pig it when I get my device but was just wondering if anyone happened to try it on a different version?

If the bootloader is locked it isn't going to work until an exploit is found.
Looking into it on other forums its said to be working on several bootloader locked phones specifically the xperia z. I dont see how the bootloader would affect it as its not tryingnto install recovery or anything other then granting superuser access.

This root method works on the S4 with locked boot loader. Of we can't get recovery at least root access for ROM tool box will be nice.

Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.
I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.
I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.
Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.
But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.
You can't directly root it as far as I know.
You may end up having to revert to MJ5, install SS and then install one of the 4.4 ROMs we have available.

i read his post, but you can't get safety strap installed properly without having super user permission. If there is no root for the leak i only see the option to downgrade to jb and get root. The process seems tedious and like i said a bunch of the things you need to download, the links aren't workin.
As far as I know, the links are fixed.
Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.
You may not care about downgrading to upgrade to a custom 4.4.2 ROM with root, but others do.

DO NOT USE OR CONDONE VROOT UNLESS YOU GIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNING.
Vroot sends your imei number to an IP address in China during it's attempt to root your phone.

Yet.... or that you know of.....
However, the official policy of XDA forum is not to suggest using VRoot unless you provide the warning to users as well.
So please bear that in mind, so users are aware of the risks themselves
You have too muchtime on your hands.
Do know how alot z1s remotely Rooted so many bad things could have happened but it did not.

hmmm, using team viewer or others remote things to root is fine, people take the risk themselves if they allow someone remote access to their PC
However, Vroot takes personal and confidential information from your phone and sends it to china, if you are happy with this, fine do it, but please advise others of the risk, especially as there are easier, quicker and safer ways to root.
Also, there is no need to get personal.

The warning is needed due to Vroot having closed source and it does collect personal information.
All of the Software on XDA is use at your own risk.
If you are not sure what a software does then you may want to think twice before you recommend someone use it.
Listen all I did was tell him how I rooted my phone I have included a waring on this post.

Just got the new update in from Samsung for my sm-g900F.
Using the phone for about an hour now and one thing that is noticeably better is the fingerprint sensor. I've tried the weirdest angles I could think of and it still works! Much less errors than before.
Overall phone also seems to be responding to commands better but I'll know for sure after a fee days of use.
Still waiting for a Play edition so I can have aosp now!
What update? I'm in Scotland and haven't received any

Well if you have root why not flash the new rom with Mobile Odin Pro straight away and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and also keep root.
For everyone that didn't receive the new ANG2 update yet:
My XtreStoLite stock ROM is already based on this firmware already since yesterday.

So smoother operation in a 250mb update, less ram available and still 4.4.2 droid. Makes me curious for the whatsnew log. I really hoped for 4.4.4 by now since other very expensive flagships left 4.4.2 ages ago in modern Phone time table

One thing you can do its turn off location in google settings. you will have gps but google will nmot try every 2 secongs to find out where are you.This will give you a some extra battery.you can do couple more things but will be root related
