[Request] Flashable Rooted 4.3 for Locked Bootloader

So here's my request
If it's not much of a trouble, whoever managed to root their locked bootloader 4.3 and with experiences in making flashable zip can you guys like make a rooted 4.3 and make it available to flash it from 4.1.2? Later after flashing if needed, flash the 266 kernel through flashtool
Pure stock 4.3 from CE region would be nice (and deodexed as a bonus)
I don't know if this is possible tho
If it's not then tell me. I'll remove this thread immediately as it can cause annoyance :silly:

Patience guys the update has just rolled out. Let the developers work and give them some time!

If you look for it, there is a 4.3 de-odexed available. you can flash it and then flash SuperSU zip... then flash 4.3 kernel ftf
I am on locked rooted 4.3.

Ahaha sorry. Was just giving out idea since I think it's just another possible way to get rooted. Sorry for any inconvenience really :silly:

You mean PuReStOcKdEoDeXeD 4.3 v2 rom? I've seen it but I just wanted a pure stock rom from CE. Nothing changed. Just rooted with an updated SU and deodexed. Nothing more. He changed the build number to 'PuReStOcKdEoDeXeD'. Not that it's wrong and dipesh1502 had done a great job. It's just me. It just that doesn't feel right
Or do you mean other rom I didn't notice?
Oh and not to mention jancsessz method didn't work for me. Think I did something wrong :silly: the SU ask me to re-root it and pretty busy so I don't have time to do it all over again. If someone just make one that'll be great :good:

[Q] Just got 4.4.2 ATT Note 3 N900AUC. Rooting options?

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

well this is a turn of events..my wife's white note 3 was 4.3 and the black one is 4.4.2. She knows that i'm a frequent rooter and that she was also debating getting the black one at the store. Plus she liked the B&W statusbar colors. So instead so I took her white one. She has the non-rootable 4.4.2 phone (she's not that much of a power user)...so now I have 4.3 to use...is THIS exploitable? my N900a Note 3's AP ends in MJ5.

there are 2 different versions of safestrap one for kitkat one for jb just make sure you get 3.71 and you can flash any jb rom in here to go to a kitkat rom you have to flash some files with odin there is a thread for that

Thanks much! and i'm probably going to stay on 4.3 until 4.4.2 becomes more exploitable. Once you go KK you can never go back!

no you cant say flash a kk rom then just flash a jb rom to go back it is a little more involved than that but it is not hard I would suggest you do a lot of reading first to get a kk rom read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039

If you are going to stay on your stock rom MJ5 for awhile I would use TB and freeze your At&t update so you can stay on MJ5.

cool, I remember I had to do that on my S3 when I used EZ-Unlocker. Now in regards to this ROM (which is the one i'm looking at)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714601
It requires 4.4.2 and rooted. I'm on 4.3 and rooted. If 4.4.2 is unrootable right now..how would I do it?..how would I go from 4.3 rooted to 4.4.3 and not be tied down?
I know the leaked non-official KK doesn't lock you down to KK and the AT&T version permanently does.

[Q] i9305 stock rom without boat ware?

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!

If you upgraded to L using official OTA, then you are stuck with L. No way to downgrade to KitKat. Also no Root for now.

4.4.4 is very broken, that said, you can't downgrade to either of them(4.4.4 or 4.4.2), i think its possible might be possible if you upgraded using flashfire, but im not 100% certain, and if i remember correctly the posts i saw about it said to only do so to recover a backup to 5.0

I upgraded with FlashFire using the rooted Lollipop firmware from another thread. I did a backup but it got lost during the upgrade. It's been so buggy, I have reset it many times in the last week but the same bugs keep popping up. I think if someone uploaded their backup from flashfire with system, boot, (everything except data and cache pretty much) that would be usable.

There were just a lot of app incompatabilities, some minor system bugs like lag every now and then.
I tried muniz_ri's 4.4.2 But Google play won't download any apps or update them. I did an OTA update which fixed all the problems without going to 4.4.4. I am going to just stay on 4.4.2 for awhile. Thanks guys!!!!

Glad to hear you got it working. I was on rooted 4.4.2/NG3 for the longest time. Very stable and fast. 4.4.4 was horrible! I have been on rooted L for a while and it very stable fast and smooth. I miss all the Xposed stuff tho!

I think i will go back to Lollipop later on, maybe the next update or when stuff like Xposed catches up with it.

Anyone else get an update today?

I got an Android System update today, 26mb, and it tried to install it and failed...
Phone running stock, latest OTA, no root... But the bootloader is unlocked and it does have the no-force-encrypt kernel installed... Is that why it bombed?

the only way you can install an ota is by being 100% completely stock. any changed files and every ota will fail.

I suspect you meant LMY48I (not LMY48L). If so, you are probably getting LMY48M now.

You could use the fastboot commands instead, and understand what's really happening behind the scenes (unless you already know that). :angel:

I used to do that stuff, now I am lazy. I like just having a menu and clicking "do this" and have it to the work for me. haha

I got an Android System update today, 26mb, and it tried to install it and failed...
Phone running stock, latest OTA, no root... But the bootloader is unlocked and it does have the no-force-encrypt kernel installed... Is that why it bombed?
Anyone else gotten it?

I received the update on my Nexus 9 yesterday and on my Nexus 6 and Nexus 5 today. all updates went smoothly.

So what is the latest and greatest version of the stock rom for the Verizon variant? This new M version?

How does it run with that kernel installed? Is everything faster and does games run with no issues now
