[Q] Kitkat 4.4.2 Root?

Hey there.. was using Knoxraid.. a new Alliance ROM hit and I installed it. Nope.. I did not go back to Jellybean first so I had an endless NFC quit working message on my phone when I tried to boot. Couldn't go back to KR because the root wasn't showing up in recovery and I don't have an SD card. Long story short.. I reinstalled stock Kitkat 4.4.2 through ODIN and now the phone is not rooted. Kingo root doesn't do it. Is there a method yet to root 4.4.2?
thx!

I'm on KitKat 4.4.2 official. It's not rooted.. can't figure out how to go back to MJ5 (JB) from this. Any ideas?

Unfortunately stock roms can't go back. Builds ending with NC2 can't revert to NB4, MJ5, nor MI9. Once root is obtained we'll be able to install safestrap and have more options then. But we have to patiently wait for root access.

thx so much!

No Texts
So, I'm back up and running on MJ5 -- everything seems fine.. except:
The phone constantly says roaming not on and
I cannot send or receive texts.
When I check mobile networks -- CDMA settings are there.. when I search for APNs -- I find them and the ATT settings appear to be right.
any ideas?
thx

Helpp!
I tried the MJ5 restore with my build number ending in MLG but my phone gets stuck on the Samsung Note 3 logo! I tried to wipe the data and factory reset but it doesn't work. I always have to use the oneclick to go back to MLG I want to root but there is no available way to nor can I flash roms. I'm stuck and I think its because of my bootloaders! Does anyone have a fix?

In Odin what all boxes did you check to flash the original firmware?

when trying to flash the stock firmware with Odin, are you booting the phone into download mode or recovery mode? make sure its in download mode...

Personally I would try flashing each individual file I.e. bl, csc, etc. Try combos make sure your in dl mode and have drivers installed
Good luck

I believe you have to skip the BL file, as in do not flash the BL file. Plug all your files but the bl file and flash them. Because of the bootloader being loacked, it seems it will failed because it can't actually flash the file. Here is a great thread to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
Good luck. Report is it works.

The phone is not totally bricked. The correct firmware needs to be re-flashed, as what's been said. You used the wrong one, as well as the wrong Odin. You should be using Odin 3.09.

[Q] Note3 SafeStrap 3.72 - N900AUCUCNC2 - restore back to factory

All,
This has already been asked, but I have been unable to find it. Any help in step by step directions, or a link to the thread I have been unable to find would be appreciated.
I have the AT&T Note 3
Safestrap version 3.72
Android Version 4.4.2
Baseband Version N900AUCUCNC2
Kernel Version 3.4.0-722276
Build 49H.N900AUCUCNC2
I rooted my phone according to http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-attverizon-galaxy-note-3-on-android-4-4-2/
After rooting, I am no longer able to encrypt the phone.
When I go into Safestrap and select Stock ROM, it tells me unable to mount /system, /systemorig.
I have tried to use Odin to reinstall, but get an error when trying to write.
All the instructions mention to reinstall from MJ5 partitions and upgrade, but I am not sure if I can since I have already upgraded (some threads hint at this)
Here is where I DLed the files for Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
What I would like to do, is wipe the phone to factory including the bootloader.
Thanks in advance.

you are on the wrong safestrap .you need to be on 3.75 . Also if im reading your post correctly your on the ota kitkat and your trying to restore to mj5 which is jelly bean and you cant go back if your on the new bootloader if thats the case then the restore will never work .

I do not want to go back, I want the factory kitkat. I tried updating the safestrap to 3.75, but was unable to.

Were you on jb and took the ota to get kitkat . Uninstall the old ss and delete all signs of the old ss then download and install 3.75 and it should work

Yes, started from JB, then got kitkat. Uninstalling old ss does not remove from reboot, and installing new does not changed recovery version of ss.

You cant do a restore to mj5 if you took the update because of the new bootloader that came with it thats for people who are still on the old bootloader . how i got 3.75 was i first uninstalled 3.72 then deleted it then rebooted without any ss then i downloaded 3.75 then installed it then rebooted and it worked .maybe try that . Read some more on this forum cause i think there are some posts from people having that issue that may help if what i said doesnt work.

[Q] Is the same Towelroot okay on 4.4.4?

I just successfully Odin'd back to stock 4.4.2 and updated to 4.4.4. Now that I want to get rooted/a custom recovery again, is it safe to root via towelroot and then install safestrap?
I imagine this should be okay, but I'd rather just ask first before I brick my phone, and googling it doesn't seem to pull up an answer.
As always, thanks y'all.

safestrap doesnt work with 4.4.4. and i dont believe root does. thats why in the other thread there is a way to update to 4.4.4 and keep root but no more safestrap recovery for now. and no way back to 4.4.2
i kind of wish i didnt update so soon as i lost the ability to save files to my external sd now, there was a fix for 4.4.2 but no longer works on the new 4.4.4

So do you have a link to the process that you used to Odin back to stock that worked ?

this is the thread I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnj5-t2948355 but I was still on 4.4.2, once on 4.4.4 you cant flash back because of the kernel. if anyone else is reading this please correct me if I am wrong once on 4.4.4 we cant go back even with oden to 4.4.2

If you updated via Odin with the 4.4.4 then you can revert back. But if you took the original ota then your f'ed....for now

You can Odin back to factory stock NC2 at anytime, regardless of the method used to update to NJ5 4.4.4.

[Q] How to root my AT&T note 3 N900A 4.4.4?

Hi
I searched forum and got really confused how to root 4.4.4 all the instruction I find is kind all about 4.4.2
i search on galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
the direction point AT&T N900A to 4.4.2 link not 4.4.4. so i am totally lost, i tried download towelroot it says device not supported. so i am completely lost, I rooted my S1 and S3 before no problem but when I just got my note 3 and updated to 4.4.4 I am completely lost
Please help me
Thank you!

4.4.4 is tricky.
You need to use the Odin software to go back to 4.4.2 nc2 firmware.
Then you install and run towelroot.
Then you install safe strap.
Then busybox
Now you download the update from this
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57729221
Now you boot into safestrap to apply the update.. The update is 4.4.4 with old kernel
Then you install the kernel for 4.4.4 via Odin.
Note: I haven't done this yet since I just stayed on 4.4.2.
