I am trying to create a one click root and unlock but I am afraid to test it. Does anyone know if rooting a already rooted phone will brick it?
I don't know if this helps at all but when I rooted mine I used one click root then used unleash the beast which had root in the package. No problems here. Also I've heard is nearly impossible to brick this phone

Idk if this will help but I had fc problems with some programs that required root and I found the update.zip that contained the new superuser app and flashed it with the old superuser app installed and it worked perfectly.
So even though I'm not sure my answer would be yes.
Per P3Droid's Tweet:

Service Announcement: Don't take any moto updates the root path has been patched !!! You've been warned.

did you try this using option #1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
A newer update with version 5.8.894 has been confirmed to not break root.
However, it is hard coded to only be applicable to a fully stock phone (rooted or non rooted, but cannot have been upgraded on kernel, baseband, system, or Webtop).

as soon as you factory reset phone, you need to turn on debugging then use the r3l3as3droot to root using option 2. This option will not work if you flash a system or downgrade system without wiping data first.

That's great news. If nothing else, that Moto isn't just trolling against people who root, and that maybe keeping root won't be a constant battle. Thanks, Motorola.

When you sign up for a soak test they ask if you're rooted. It's pretty non judgemental

There is no root for jb so if you ota update to jb you'll be sol
Sent from my JokerATRIX HD MAXX
Before updating to jb read the forums. We have no actual jb root so you have to preserve your root during the update.

Yes and No.
Yes, if he flashes JB, he'll be stuck as flashing back will brick your device. Root or No Root that will happen.
No, If he backs up root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper method me and several other people used to keep root, he could still have root on JB.

Are you using a laptop by chance? My laptop wouldnt recognize mine. I had to use a desktop to flash via RSD.
Also, having root won't keep you from updating. I backed up with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and flashed the update just fine. Then I restored root on JB. The deleted apps are the only thing stopping the update.

Someone with root that has first hand experience needs to help you. Whatever you do don't update. Root is more important than jelly bean IMO. Jb has some annoying bugs. The keyboard issue is the worst.

can i still flash the batakang rom with it running on ics...and is that the only custom rom out for the ahd right now
Just follow the directions carefully after the utility to retain root then update to jb via the unofficial zip then you can do batakang

just wanted to thank everyone for helping out, i now have a rooted ahd running on jb....now onto the batakang rom!!!!!
safestrap it, make a slot1, then flash the stock JB411 rooted rom found on this board.
make a backup
then restore that backup to the stock slot.
problem solved, still rooted.

Nothing about this update has me even thinking about switching back to stock for this. But thanks for the heads up.
Anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? Don't want to flash all the way back to stock but would like to take the update. Currently running tarp.

I know this breaks root, but is it possible to root again or do we have to find a new way to root. I only want to root for tethering and debloat. Verizon sucks when they load everything they can on top of a phone that has a lot of apps already installed on it.
Best to get a copy of it to the devs. If it works like the razr, you can d/l but not install it and pull the file from cache.

Use Titanium backup, and freeze Software Update MUC.
This should prevent you from getting the update.

Yeah, I'm on stock, I assume the dev took the updater out of his rom. You'll have to confirm with him.

especially not, since you can get the benefits of the new radios, without accepting the whole update.
Will this for sure break root and would something like root keeper help at all?
I'm finally eligible for a contract upgrade device. If I were to buy a G2 today from Verizon, what are the odds it come with this update out of the box? I'd hate to buy a device I can't root and install custom ROMs on...
cant pull update??
so i am rooted but running stock.. anyone know why i cant pull the update??
Just flash the radio.. Its the only thing thats worth anything out of this update

I would say zero. I would imagine their stock is at least 1-2 months old. I have never bought a phone that didn't get an update the first day.

They usually release updates over a couple days for server reasons. I still haven't seen it either.

That was my feeling as well. I thought I would wait until the S5 or HTC One 2 came out to upgrade, but based on the previous versions rooting/unlocked bootloader on VZW are highly unlikely.
I was brave and tried the update. Stock ROM, just rooted for tethering purposes. I tried twice and received an error code both times. Then a message stating the update was unsuccessful upon reboot. Boo...

OK so I have this great ATT note 3. I have it rooted (mj5). I haven't done much with it because as far as I know I can't get a custom recovery yet Correct??
I am having issues with a few things and I'm a little concerned with the phone. For 1 I have a hard time starting up my phone some times. It seems to keep restarting and I have to keep taking the battery out and it will work after a few times. 2nd the volume sometimes gets messed up with things I do.
I've been rooting for maybe close to 1 year now and by no means a expert here but I've never failed doing it.
So here is my question, I would like to know if there is anything I can do now to get a custom recovery now that some time has gone by. I see a lot of things going on but it's all things I've never seen or read about before. I'm just looking to get pointed in the right direction from the point I'm at right blessed which is rooted with Mj5.
Or do I unroot and if so how?
also any of these options am I going to lose everything on my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

At the top of this page if you just click where it says AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 you will see all our sections. Click on the Android Development link then search around there for safestrap by hashcode.

I had rooted myself on SM-N900A on MJ5 using Kingo and also used kingo to unroot too. No issues / No Knox tripping.
Rooting
So I have the ATT N900A and have tried rooting it or at least looked into it so far but when the forums say only certain version available I never find one that actually says N900A. I have seen others, but to be honest I am freshly new to all of this and I am learning it all slowly but surely. Can I get some help any one?

Those are not normal issues to have on your phone, and I don't think they are related to the rooting; I think they are indicative of larger issues with the phone. I would unroot it so it looks stock, and assuming the problems persist, take it back to AT&T.
If unrooting fixes it, ofc, reroot and do it right this time (I don't know what method you used, or what might have gone wrong)
Do that BEFORE messing around with our poor-substitute for a custom recovery (safestrap) and custom ROM's.

Well its funny because I did root my phone using the Vega root files but lol I just looked last night and I'm not rooted anymore... Maybe I took a update with out realizing it?? Ok so now that I'm not rooted what do I do?
If I just do a restart from stock what thread should I look at?
Or do I root again using the kingo .com thing? Wow I'm so lost with this phone. I have the s4 HTC one, nexus 5 and never have had these issues. Just when I start to think I'm getting g good at this

Sigh - always, first thing after rooting, always freeze OTA updates, and wait to upgrade before people here say it works and there's a root available!
Since you're having suspicious issues, I would want to put on clean MJ5 firmware before continuing - get the system into a known state before continuing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
This will erase everything on your phone.
I would hold off on rooting and first check if the issues you mentioned in the OP are fixed, and if they are, then you can chalk it up to a software problem (pin the blame on the OTA update), and follow the instructions in that thread to get root.
