What am I able to do with this baseband version? [root/custom rom]
I know towel root wont work.
im not sure if I can still download and flash prerooted roms to obtain root access without unlockong the bootloader on a lower android version.
Are any exploits that were known in the past for this baseband version working or have worked at all, anyone to describe?
Also please dont link me to old threads that have been linked in similar theada asking questions like this (theyre mostly broken and are unproductive), a simple no is fine and an end of conversation. (itll be enough for me to sell this as garbage 7 years later)

Hey all,
As the title aludes to, I'm totally lost with rooting my note 3 running 4.4.4. I've been pokling around this site for a few hours but I'm not really seeing what I need. Basically all I want to do is be able to tether my note 3 (it's SIM unlocked on an african Carrier,. the phone is from at&t originally though). As I understand it, i need to root my phone in order to use this feature (f*ck AT&T). Anyway, I did use the search but I can't find any info on rooting a phone that is already on 4.4.4. Do i need to downgrade or is there an a way to root 4.4.4. In any case could someone give me a full step by step or point me in the right direction? I hate to be that guy posting duplicate threads but I'm kinda stuck. Sorry/thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
No, there's no way to root 4.4.4 that I know of yet, you have to install 4.4.2, root it, flash a 4.4.4 that won't kill your data, then it should be rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117 are the 4.4.2 (NC2) files. I don't have a link to the 4.4.4 files handy, but I'm sure they're in the development subforum. (You want the 4 separate files, not the all-in-one, so your data doesn't get overwritten - in both cases.) Get into 4.4.2, root with https://towelroot.com/ then go back to 4.4.4 (if you want - I'm still running 4.4.2, so I don't have to reflash kernels to get into SafeStrap; Mobile Odin doesn't work on the Note 3 yet, and I don't want to carry a laptop around in my pocket).
I think.
I went round and round with different ROMs all last week, reflashing 4.4.2 after each one, rooting, installing SafeStrap, restoring my data, etc., etc., until I can't remember exactly what the exact steps are, but I think I got it right.
And there are a few threads her on how to root 4.4.4 - with downgrading to 4.4.2, or just flashing the 4.4.2 kernel, or something.
But no, you can't directly root 4.4.4 yet.
As for tethering, see if there's a tethering app that will work without rooting, or just go to Settings/Connections and enable Tethering and see if that works. If it does, there's no reason to go through all the trouble of rooting (which is terrifying the first time you do it - and boring by the 10th).

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a try once I get home. Unfortunatly there's no way to tether on an unrooted unless at&t allows it (that I know of). And at&t cant allow it since I don't have them as a carrier right now. I've trid a couple apps from the appstore already and they either try to carrier verify or it's just a widget of the phones tethering function. I don't particularly care about flashing custom roms so if there's a way to tether in my situation then I'd love to try.
Ok so first let me apologize if I overlooked a similar post but I've been having root issues for weeks now and haven't found my exact situation yet.
Here's the background. I have an AT&T Note 3 N900A. When I got the phone I had no issue using towel root to root the device. Worked first try. I'm new to rooting and I was in love with all the new options. I started small playing with xposed and fonts overclocking etc. Then started researching custom Roms. Discovered cwm twrp wouldn't work with my locked boot loader so researched and got safestrap. Did the backup made my new Rom slot and with a guide I attempted my 1st custom Rom flash. FAIL. bootloop. Revert to stock Rom via Odin. Download towel root. Rooted. No problem.
2nd attempt at custom Rom flash with safe strap. fail. Download another stock firmware (at this point I was still dumb to the difference between NL1 NC2 OC2 etc). And in still dumb to oxed and deoxed. But apparently I got out of bootloop with a different firmware version this time around. First I decided to run lollipop 5.0. Towel root said device not suported. Now I'm running 4.4.4 NL1. device not supported. Also can't get kingoroot king root(pc or non pc) cf or anything else I've tried to work. From what I've read I need to go back to the NC2 4.4.2 and run towel root from there.
My current issue is I have no windows pc to run Odin on and my wife's MacBook refuses to install the Mac version correctly nor will it load the Web based version on the casual page.
I just figured out that I can't use safe strap to flasthe nc2 until I'm rooted. And without Odin to revert I'm scared to try any other method without some guidance.
First off... Is there any way to root my current 4.4.4 without going to the nc2 or if I allow my phone to upgrade to 5.o again is there a non pc root method on lollipop yet?
Or would I be able to download a nc2. Zip to my phone save to sd and use the note 3 stock recovery to revert? ?
I'm open to any suggestions you guys may have even if I haven't mentioned it in my post. Hope to get some answers asap and thanks in advance!!
I'm not familiar with the Note 3 for AT&T but Heimdall (in place of Odin on a PC) may work on your mac to flash ROMs.

Yeah I tried that a while back but it was b4 I knew this much. Maybe j can get it working now. I was just hoping there was an easier way.
I am aware that this can be done by rooting an S5 running 4.4.2 and then downloading More Locale 2 from google play but I am in need of a solution for updated devices. Ones I cannot flash down to 4.4.2 to root. I have tried adding the language packets from the G900I firmware to the G900A. Even tried adding data to make the checksum correct in order to flash the signed firmware but it is not working. It seems that someone either has to root the newer version or find a way to flash firmware with the language onto an unrooted device. Currently all of mine are running either 5.0 or 5.1.1. They are all unlocked but unrooted. I will pay you for a working method. Im not going to pretend I know whats fair so you tell me what you want and i'll take it to my customer. Please DM me if you're interested. Thank you.
Mods, if this is in the wrong place please let me know and I will move it to Q&A
Any way to root 6.0.1 G920AUCS5DPJ1 yet? Did some research but could not find a way to root for this particular build. Any update?
I've been searching for an easier method to root my phone and I'm shocked at how few options there are to root my s6. I've always been able to come across more than enough information to root all the previous galaxy phones but for some reason there doesn't seem to be an easy method (like ping-pong root or something automated) I'd appreciate if anyone has any feedback on rooting the new build after the November security patch the build number is G925AUCS5DPK1

Feedback is, there is no root for the new builds.

And is there any way to go back to old builds flashing with ODIN an old stock firmware?
I confirm: once you get the phone on a newer version, you can't downgrade it. I tried to go from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 flashing with ODIN. The ODIN process went well, but after the phone took the older load, it got stuck in the ANDROID screen
To get it back to life i had to flash again its original stock version at 6..0.1
So the question is if there will be any developement on S6 ATT 6.0.1 to get it rooted or TWRP. RIght now it seems we are stuck. No root, No custom rom I will keep my S4 that performs like a charm with root and custom roms!

Development has been essentially dead on the ATT version for many months.

Thanks @dandrumheller for the reply
I am debating myself to try something even i know is highly possible i break the phone. I really need a rooted phone and this s6 is a replacement for my s6 given to me by ATT. If i can't get it rooted, it will sit there forever. So probably i will take the risk to try to root/load anything experimental

Hi All,
I am a newbie to the root world and in a lapse of judgement I decided to root my phone a year or so back. Naturally I had no idea what I was doing but I think I sort of did it. Now my phone is in this weird root limbo where it is rooted but not really. I can't unroot with supersu it just gives me an error or keeps spinning and does nothing. On boot my phone says Custom which tells me it is kind of rooted and some apps wont work as it says my phone has been modified or has root access. Also my updates fail but I have never quite gotten full root access and things just act weird. I guess that's what I get.... So naturally I have come full circle and would like to remove root and just install a stock rom so I can receive updates on this thing. Also, I am terrified of bricking it. I have searched all over your forum and found 18 versions of 15 roms with 13 ways to do it and I have no clue which way is the correct way. I know baseband plays a role along with version. So here is what I have;
Model: (AT&T)
SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband Version:
N900AUCUCNC2
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-722276
I hope I didn't miss anything. Some clarity on this matter would be most appreciated and I want to thank anyone for helping me. I hope this post isn't a repeat of some previous post. I tried looking but some details were slightly different. Please help and thank you in advance.

Aside from the fact that NC2 (that's really all the information you need - NC2 for the N900A - isn't currently listed at SamMobile, that's really all you need. Once you download the firmware, you just use Odin to flash it to the phone. I'm about to leave the house or I'd upload it to Mega and give you a link to use to download it (if you trust me - it's exactly the firmware I downloaded from SamMobile when they had it up a few years ago.) Post here if you want me to and I will. Or just look around this forum (AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3) for an NC2 link. (You'll be updated over the air, to 5.0.1, if you're not rooted, though, so you could use an unrooted OC1 or OC2 firmware, which are here (somewhere). (Oc1 and OC2 are the Lollipop ROMs.)
Edit:
Walter has a link to the OC1 (Lollypop) ROM at https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 You probably want to back everything up, then use the 4-file version. Then you can restore everything except root.
