Hey Guys whats going on. Well I downloaded installed the APK and then did what I needed to do in order to Root the device.
When I did this, I got the Error message " This Phone isnt currently Supported "
Googled and searched found A link to change the ModStrings. I used everyone posted and still got the Same Error Message.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do, in order to Root my Device? Thanks guys and Hopefully Someone can help.

Yeah thanks I figured out I am on NG3 and I tryed last nite, did follow a tutorial, and then i used root checker, and it said my device was not rooted. SO Im not sure what is going on.
I Install the ND3 File, Then do root. I then use root checker and it says Im rooted. I then Install the NG3 file and then check if Im rooted,. and it says Im rooted.
Then Download SuperSU from Playstore and Upgrade to Pro and then use rootchecker and it states Im not Rooted. Is the phone still rooted? Or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: Got it working now. Thanks again

I'm a complete neophyte at this entire process so please excuse my ignorance. I want to root my AT&T Galaxy S5. I tried the Towelroot, but I got the phone is not supported message as well. My question is what on earth is NG3 and how do I proceed from here? I have Odin 3.1, I just don't know what to do with it. Help...

NG3 the official AT&T build that patched towelroot that's why that apk doesn't work any longer. Your device can be rooted using @muniz_ri thread I posted.
I personally use Odin 3.09
Please read a lot more and take your time in the two threads I posted so you don't make your device a very expensive paperweight.

So, the situation is a bit weird. About a week and a half ago, some update came out for my AT&T Note 3, and after declining, later it forced me to install it. After installing, it seemed to have disabled root, but I still had the custom icon show up when it booted, and root functions were disabled. It was as if root was not uninstalled, but disabled. I've tried re-rooting the normal way, but that gives a fail when I try to use the OneClickBin application. I haven't tried skipping that and installing root for fear of bricking the phone on some incompatibility. If someone else has this problem or has solved it, please let me know what you did or give any advice you can. The ideal result would be for my phone to end up back in the stock firmware, updated and ready to root as if nothing was wrong. I'd also appreciate it if anyone can give me info on the update that broke it, so I can check for a root method which is compatible with it. Thanks in advance.

You got the update to MJ5, try using Kingo Root.
I'm noticing that Kingo Root's version page does not list the SM-N900A model. We're sure it's supported, right?
Yup! I used it on mj5 update

Hey guys,
First to let you know, I was a victim of the latest brick. I got a warranty replacement (don't ask). The phone came in today. The only reason why I want root is to be able to use the mobile hotspot. I'm still grandfathered into unlimited. I don't want to flash or do a custom ROM or a custom recovery. I like the stock ROM. I just only need root to do the mobile hotspot.
Anyway, so on to my situation. I downloaded ioroot, installed the latest drivers, enabled everything, allowed the RSA fingerprint. I ran the root.bat file and it didn't make it through the first step. ADB said it was rebooting phone into stock recovery...except it didn't. I've tried it now 3 times and I get the same result....green android with the red exclamation.
Am I stuck until someone figures out root on a 26A? I read that it should work but haven't read anywhere if someone has successfully rooted 26A out of the box. Is there something I can do to bypass? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Stump root is supposed to work on 26a.
Sent from my VS980 4G
Yup...no sooner then I posted this, I read a thread on stump root. Trying it now.
Just to update...I have full root by the stump root method. Was a lot easier then expected. I prefer this method way more then the ioroot method.
Were you able to get recovery installed. I ran into the same situation you did after my son took the update on his phone while it was rooted. If so what recovery method did you follow?

Was wondering this myself. Just got a refurb G2 from Verizon after my wife's first one had a screen issue. It shipped with 26a and I used stump to root it, but not quite sure the best method to follow to install twrp.

Are you unable to use the mobile hotspot BECAUSE you have an unlimited plan?? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I'm coming over from Sprint and the reason I ask is that I'm on tiered data and I can use mine..

Verizon would make you pay for a separate tiered plan for Mobile Hotspot when on unlimited. I'm guessing that's still the case.

I changed jobs so I had to switch phones. I had my old Note 3 still that I loved. I foolishly got excited once I found out that lollipop had released for the Note 3. I instantly did the software update. I don't know if that is my problem or not, but I can not find any working ROOT. I have tried Towelroot, and CF Auto Root, but can't get either one to succesfully root the phone. Does anyone know of a guide, or working ROOT for my phone. I have posted a pic of my Device info.

What are you running right now Kitkat, Lollipop? If you are on N900AUCUCNC2, you can use Towel root https://towelroot.com/ or Kingo root http://www.kingoapp.com/ The only way to install custom rom is to have Safestrap install as the bootloader is locked.

You can't root OC1, but you can use Odin to downgrade to NC2 and root it. Odin v.3.10.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613. Once you Odin back you can use Towel root or Kingo root (links are posted above your post). Then install Supersu https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en and run it, install Busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en open and install it, then Safestrap http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7216. (You should make a backup once Safestrap is installed before you flash any Roms). Once you're done you can pick a Rom for your Note 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development Now you ever use Odin? http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/ (The site only shows flashing the All-In-One file so you know). Use all 4 Odin files, N900AUCUCNC2 ODIN Files, BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602 AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890 CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603 CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604
Brilliant! I'm rooted on Lollipop, and loving my Note 3 all over again. Thanks for the easy-to-follow instructions, that made it a breeze!
lil differant way
To shorten the process, I downloaded Chainfires app called FlashFire, Then Downloaded full OC1 odin tar and Full N2 Odin tar. I flashed Note 3 back to N2 with pc odin, I then transferred OC1 to my sd card installed Flashfire and used flash Fire to do a complete flash to OC1 while choosing to inject everroot. Saved tons of time and in my mind a lot cleaner. I also have ROM PRO TOOL BOX and Chainfires CF-Bench after installing all the apps I wanted and setting up my personal settings on the phone all together, I installed BusyBox Pro and did a smart install, then rebooted and performed a benchmark. Then opened Rom Pro Tool box and went to cpu and then the benchmark it recognized the benchmark from chainfires cf-bench app so I choose it and also clicked apply at boot. Rebooted and this Note is fast as light and reliable. FlashFire will make back ups for you if your worried about recovery and always a good Idea to have Helium and or Titanium to make a nandriod and a completed setup back up to store on your pc and cloud just in case. :fingers-crossed:
Does anyone know if Rooting directly from OC1 without a wipe is being worked on? :fingers-crossed: or should I just stop whining and just do one of the above options? :victory:

What was you running before, Lollipop? If you was, you need to do all four files not the All-In-One to change your boot loader back to NC2.

I have a s5active and just love the hell out of it. I'm still kinda green with the rooting but have done several successful roots, but development is way out of my wheelhouse. Unfortunately I haven't found a developer that had been working on the active. I'm still looking though. Thanks for doing the outstanding organization you did for the note 3. I'm going to be doing it as soon as the laptop comes back from the shop. My wife will like fire cat I think. I just found the thread I needed for my active lol only one rim but better than nothing.
Hey all, I've been away since the Skyrocket days. For ODIN, what state does the phone need to be in. I have USB debugging Enabled, but the ODIN says Failed. I downloaded all 4 files. Nevermind, had to put the phone in download mode.
i used KingoRoot to "root" it said it was sucessful, but when i try SuperSU it said "SuperSu Binary needs to be updated. Continue"? when i click continue, i click on normal and it says "Installing, please wait" then it returns failed.. SuperSu binary is not updating what is the fix for this?

I would install Root Checker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en to see if your root is properly installed. You might have to use KingoRoot again. I usually stick with Towelroot.

Hi I am new to the Note 3 forum and have a Att Note 3 on NC2 and want to find out the most recent or easiest way to get root? I had a Lg G3 rooted running custom roms but it got destroyed at work so I had to get something quick that is how I ended up with a Note 3. Anyway I am having a hard time figuring out what is the correct way to get root and flash custom roms. Also any recommendations for apps, themes, roms, etc! There is a ton of info but hard to find out the exact method to root and start flashing but I want to make sure it's done right. Thanks!

here you go and before flashing any roms do some research the note 3 for att is different the bootloader is locked
Hey thanks!
That is Towelroot correct? I am just about to DL and run it but just wanted to be sure that I don't miss any steps. So I just DL and run apk right? Thanks again for the file and anyone who wants to recommend a good ROM for a Note 3 that would be great also!
No root after Towelroot on NC2 and I tried 3 times!
I used Towelroot just as I was supposed to but cant get root or install Busybox. I tried the file that I was given it didnt work and then I seen that there is a new version of Towelroot v3 but it didnt work either. I even tried to disable Knox with SU from play store after Towelroot but it can't not disable Knox. Then I used package disabler to disable Knox and it worked to disable Knox but still can't get root with Towelroot it didn't error or anything it said you should have root now but nope! What the heck am I doing wrong? I am not happy about the future of my Note 3 and I will try something else if someone could help me. My phone is weird cause it does not have a update option at all in about phone settings! Oh boy what have I bought? Seems hard to get help anymore but I guess people are busy these days. Thanks again for any help!
I believe the bootloader is locked which means you can only install tw-based custom ROMs.
According to this thread, nc2 can be rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/root-lollipop-att-note-3-safestrap-t3132475

that is strange you might have a fake you could try downloading the stock files and odin flashing them and try to root agian
Thanks for your help.
I found out its a phone from a rental center that had been paid for but they do some kind of a custom edit to settings. So I will probably be able to get it rooted thru my pc just not around it right now. I am not real happy about the fact it isn't completely stock cause like I said there is no option to update in the settings at all. Anyway I will have to wait until I get back home or find another route to root or at least update to lollipop! Thanks and if you are able to help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!
