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.

[Q] Att Note 3 on Lollipop

I have a note 3, that I'd like to root and install a non Att OS.. it's no longer a covered phone..and I don't care about tripping knox.. Searching for Root and Note 3 and ATT find all kind of way to root and install safestrap.. is that the only way to custom rom this phone?

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.

I'm not the OP, but I have the same question: I have a stock Note 3 with Lollipop (N900AUCUEOC1). I'd love to root it. Is there a step-by-step guide, or better yet a tap-and-go app to achieve root?

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.

so much simpler
Thanks for making this simpler! If all goes well then you will be donated to good sir! now if you could just get someone on my at&t s5 active!

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.

i tried superuser and that said it might not have installed properly. I tried flashing the ODIN files again and now it says failed. I think i've bricked my phone and now im really frustrated

After reading dozens of threads I'm at a loss.
1. Can I root?
2. If I root, is my phone still going to work? Or will it become the latest victim of my Beowolf.

Odin twrp then install unikernel inside twrp. Will trip Knox so Samsung pay won't work anymore.

I finally found a routine and the right files needed to successfully acquire root, twrp, and custom ROM. Although, the only custom ROM Iv'e been able to boot and setup with all T-Mobile services intact and even the finger print security feature working, is the "OZOP_EDGE_v11_DOJ7.zip, thanks to stangdriver44".
Just remember you should back up the EFS and backup the phone using Samsung smart switch. If you need help, pm me. Id lay out the exact steps I took to get root originally and what it took to get out of a bricked phone, and finally to root and install a custom ROM.
I will type up what I did later today or tomorrow and post it in case anyone does the same thing to gets bootloops and bricks.
I have to attend to other chores now before I go back to work tomorrow, since I spent every evening for the last week and all day and night yesterday, trying to bring this phone out of brick.

You'd have to setup Cygwin software to make the zip an 'Odin flashable .tar.md5 type file', which I have not had time to play with, in order to flash supersu zip files onto the samsung phones.
I am working on a worksheet right now explaining what I had to do to install 5.1.1 firmware and root the phone. I am still looking back to remember exactly how I unlocked the bootloader. I did have to use an android terminal to map out the twrp recovery manual on the phone itself. I do know it would wise for anyone interested in this to backup the EFS before anything. I had to download a specific windows DOS software that does it in a couple seconds and stores it on your computer. It works for a number of other phones as well. Also need to download the newest Odin 3.10.7 software in order to work with 5.1.1 firmware without any problems. Also need to do a backup of whole phone with samsung smart switch "takes place of Kies software now". When I get home tonight I will get names and locations of everything and inform everyone. If you download the wrong DOJ7 software or firmware you'll mess up your device. It took me a week to find the right software downloads related to 5.1.1 in order to make everything work right. And I did everything within 15 minutes. Once I figured out the routine.
Once you update to 5.1.1 I know of no way to downgrade.
I do recommend going over to serio22's post -[Firmware][Bootloader & Modems][Odin] - G920T - DOJ7-
And download DOJ7 BL and DOJ7 modem and G920TUVU3DOJ7 (firmware). Download Chainfire's latest beta super su.

You can just flash unikernel to get root.
Possibly any of the other kernels too

I recommend you root with the latest Supersu beta v2.62-3 zip. It will patch the stock kernel which was designed for your specific build unlike the unikernel. Just flash via twrp.

[Q] Anyway to root the new G920TUVU4EPF1 Build?

Running stock 6.0.1 on my G920T, updated OTA. I've tried flashing TWRP, but ends up stuck at the Samsung Logo...
The new firmware prevents downgrading too, so I can't really downgrade without doing some changes...
If I can't root, are there any root kernels/custom roms available? (That support the EPF1 update)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google cf auto root and go to their website and then find the right file for the s6 (should be zerofltemo or something like that). Download the latest version of odin if you don't already have it. Click the ap button once odin is open and select the cf auto root file you downloaded. Put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer and hit start in odin. If everything goes well it will install root then you can flash twrp via odin also. There's a thread with more detailed instructions on here if you search for it

I've already looked through CF's auto root, there isn't one (fully) compatible with build #G920TUVU4EPF1. I've tried using an eariler build (MMB29K.G920TUVU3EPD1 of auto root), which softbricked my phone, it's fine now but I'm not risking that again. Thanks for the help anyway!

You're right there isn't one for our specific build but that one will work because it's the one I used. You have to enable your developer options and turn on oem unlock and it won't soft brick. Sorry forgot to mention that part lol

Can't locate files for rooting N900AUCSEOC3

After hunting for files to download for Odin and failing, and trying two one-click solutions that told me the files are not available, I am having trouble finding step-by-step help for rooting my Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCSEOC3 for my Android 5.0 install (received as a normal upgrade from AT&T). I gather that the OC3 refers to a particular release (of OEM Android?). I haven't quite digested the implications of attempting to install a custom rom, so I first want to simply root the device, preferably, but not necessarily, without making KNOX angry (although perhaps I can't install a custom rom without first rooting, anyway?). Is there a tested way to do this for my Galaxy Note 3 -OC3, or can someone confirm that it can't be done at this time?

Same problem over here. I used to mess with this stuff on the note 1 but been out of the game too long.

The AT&T Note 3 has a locked boot loader so you can't flash a custom ROM using TWRP. You can only flash custom ROMs that can be installed via SafeStrap.

I too am having the same problem, I can not find the files to root my AT&T Note 3, Bootloader: N900AUCSEOC3. Also what does this mean: I see two hlte codes, one is hlteatt under Device tab, (I am using Device Control from the Play Store) and the other is hlteuc on the Product tab. With the hlteuc code, does this mean that I can root this with a generic SM-N900 Root or not. I can post a screenshot if necessary. EDIT: I have tried all sorts of "Auto Root" apps such as KingoRoot TowelRoot KingRoot Universal Androot, etc. to no Avail.

Do you have a copy of the OC3 file?
