Just use kingo, nuff said.. It works and all you have to do is download the program and follow the instructions.. Google for source.
am at work so no access to downloads, but will try when i get home thanks. also wasn't Kingo considered a malware?

I totally agree with solarenemy68. I used kingo yesterday and it's awesome. So awesome. Plug and click. PM me if you would like the link
I used - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Download all the files and start from step 5.
I have a stock MJ5 and was able to root it with that.

What is the model number of your phone?
Mine is the N900A, which is not the model that is supported on the Kingo website.
They say it works on N9006.
I just want to make sure that it's the AT&T one that this works on.
Thanks!

Kingo may send your IMEI somewhere - and also some people have felt they don't get as good battery life after rooting with kingo. A safer way if you don't want to risk your information getting sent out is evilpotatoman's way.
But it is more work than just using kingo

The TOS that you have to agree to to install Kingo states that they send no data of any kind from your PC or Your phone. So if they do send your IEMI somewhere which does not really matter anyways since your IEMI is plastered on every cell tower you have ever connected to they would be in violation of their own TOS and could be sued.

I STRONGLY advise you not to go with that method there. I've tried it and bricked my phone (so have many others, apparently). There's a link on the first post about an updated method, which I didn't try, look for comments about that. But definitely don't try the original method, the only way to unbrick my phone was by JTAG, which was the last method before sending it to service.
Cheers!
I decided to pay £12.85 to Sammobile, and it was fairly easy as they gave me the code to unlock it, and was risk free as well.
thank you for helping me

I gave this phone away, didn't work with Rogers here so I tried the updated method. It worked. Just a heads up to anyone who finds this.
I used this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296133 and was able to unlock my phone on O2.
Try this.
No bricks after using this method so far!

Is that still the same process to root, I am not exactly getting what process should I follow to root my AT&T Note 3, I have rooted Note 2 before but that was really eary, this looks like to many things to do before rooting and that to it doesn't work. Appreciate if one of you can help me and provide me the best link to download proper root softwares and procedure. Thank you.

Did you follow all the steps as listed? By any chance did your phone take the recent update from AT&T? If it did, the the RDLV method won't work to root your phone.

Others have claimed to be able to root the new update with Kingo. You can give that a shot but proceed with caution, as there have been concerns about it's security. Read twice and root once basically :good:

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.

Could you help me? I flashed a stock lollipop rom via odin and it worked flawlessly. I now would like to reroot my device. I downloaded all the correct files and when I go to flash the tar file via Odin I get an error, "security check fail: recovery". It won't flash but luckily didn't brick my device. I've tried plenty of time to no avail

Go to settings - security - reactivation unlock (uncheck it). Try flashing again, you should be good to go.
It has been confirmed that updating to OF1 includes the downgrade protection we've seen in the T-Mobile builds on 5.1.1... You won't be able to root directly on this build, either, since the exploit was patched by this ROMs build date. I will make a package that will allow users on OE2 to to update to OF1 while maintaining root. If you are on OC3 still you can upgrade to OE2 using my tutorial in Android Development.
Can someone who updated to OF1 successfully please try downgrading back to OC3 using the ODIN image provided within this General Thread? Since no one else has released a OF1 ROM/ODIN package I was going to do it myself, but along the way I noticed a change within this update package-- it now includes a magic string header at the very end of the update process, just like the Lollipop 5.1.1 ROMS for other devices that now incorporate protections against downgrading. I'd rather not bone myself/everyone else out of future development if this mechanism is in fact in place.
Thanks in advance! As soon as I have a confirmation it is still downgradable, I will finish this package.
Odin will not downgrade after OF1. I've tried 5 times using 2 different PCs and Odin failed every time.

And thank you for the confirmation. I was hoping that wasn't the case, but it was leaning in that direction... I'm hoping you didn't update just for this, I'd feel rather bad... I'll change the thread title to reflect this.

Had a few "?'s" on that statement. Purely assumption on my part, so take my previous statement and my next few statements with a grain of salt. Ping Pong root has been patched and unless they find another method there is no root on 5.1.1. Locked Bootloader, with no way around that, so no custom kernel to root (a la this method). Right now in order to upgrade to OE2, you have to use a patched version that keeps root, what happens when it can no longer be "patched" to keep root in further builds? If you've upgraded already to the latest build via OTA, you can no longer downgrade. Trust me, I want to continue to have root for what ever the latest build is out there but Verizon/Samsung have been locking things down tighter and tighter and there is always the possibility that an exploit isn't found and end up with no root on later builds than what we have now. Again, all of this is just my assumption and I hope to end up wrong in the end about everything, 5.1.1 isn't even out yet for us so we'll see when it drops.
I know this is probably not the right place to post this but i would be willing to donate a 100 dollars to someone that gives me root on verizon s6 OF1. I messed up and upgraded. So I sure hope someone can get root. I have tried everything.
Thanks
