Maybe a stupid question, but if I am running Gingervolt 1.3, can I just flash this directly over it? Don't really mind if I lose root.

Yes you can flash right over. You have to re root I believe

Thanks. Am I right in assuming I will lose all of my apps? If so I can just back then up I guess.

Thank you very much for that. The step by step guide there will help a lot! But I do have 1 small issue, the files you linked in your tutorial dont seem to work as i am using a mac. Is there any way to get these for a mac?

POINTLESS
So, Do I understand correctly? That thread is now titled "pointless" and after reading the posts there it would seem that there is now a root for zv8, is that correct? If I am correct can you please direct me to how and where to get it? I would really appreciate it, thank you very much in advance.

Just wondering if anyone has found a stock Odin .tar.md5, for our AT&T SM-N900A.?
Also can anyone confirm any EFS backup solutions that work for our device?
Thanks.
There is no Odin image as the moment. If you mean something like a nandroid backup you can't do that yet.

Well, just it tight. Root has been achieved, thus an image will almost certainly be available soon. :highfive:
Has it actually been achieved or is it in progress?

Seems like that's a tall order, being selinux was requested by NSA.

If memory serves me right you had the Atrix 4G years ago. I'm glad to see you've got the Galaxy Note 3 as well.
The OneClickBin for DesignGears' root method is stock odin flash I believe. Just don't finish the rest of the root process.
Pretty sure I just bricked my phone for the first time.
Installed SS, rebooted the phone which brought me right to SS, did a backup, clicked the boot options and clicked Slot-1 and waited for it to finish doing what it does, installed KN0XRAID ROM on there, rebooted, now it sits at the Main Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 splash with the padlock and won't ever load. The factory recovery does nothing for me and I already tried a reset. I can get into download mode as well.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what happened? Possibly due to my 64gb SD? Did I miss a step?
Thanks.
Press and hold the power and volume up, that should get you in recovery, then restore.... Hope this helps

I had to hold the power+vol-up+home to get into the recovery. Without pressing the home button nothing happens.
Okay, are toy able to restore from the back up you made? If not then I think you have to Odin back to stock...

Wouldn't know how to restore that backup without SS. Just might have to.

I think Odin back to stock is your best option now.

I thought the proper Odin files we need to do that aren't available though? I have the latest firmware which is ml9 or something? Hate being hypocritical but I don't have much time to do my research lately. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks to those of you who have been generous enough to try and help.
