Root [AT&T] AT&T N3 rooted at last!

dan330 · Jan 29, 2014

I am the same.. years and years of without needing to use insurance

last year.. with my Samsung S3..
small drop to wood floor.. shattered screen.
fixed it at $150...
week later.. jumped into thigh high river.. to help get a boat on to the trailer.
with my phone in my pocket.

so.. never say never!!!

Hooray....I rooted my N3 with Kingo root and did not trip the Knox counter. Now I'm going to install SafeStrap and install a custom Rom. Life's good

Hooray....I just rooted my N3 with Kingo root without tripping Knox. Now to install SafeStrap and install a custom ROM. Life's good

you go boy!

funny.. my browser stops me from double posting.. by accident.

rawhide85 · Feb 5, 2014

Yeah, I just learned that if I refresh it will show my post has been sent. I'll let you know how the flashing goes.

dan330 · Feb 5, 2014

I have heard .. flashing a ROM.. will trip the KNOX or some counter.

I have NOT looked to deep into rooting this device yet.
because I might still have a few hardware issues. don't want to void warranty yet.

Dan you are correct. If you tried to flash a custom ROM with Odin. However, if you use SafeStrap you create additional slots (virtual partitions) that you then install custom ROMs. Here's a link:

SafeStrap installed, Rom slot created, AzureROM Five flashed. It was so easy. It took all of about 30 minutes. Best part is I did not trip Knox! Thanks designgears, Hashcode, tropazr, drakeymcmb and many others over at XDA.

now I have the itch to do it!!! damn u!

have you looked .. is there a way.. easy.. to put back to complete stock for warranty issues?

rawhide85 · Feb 6, 2014

Yes, all you do is delete all the Rom slots you created containing the customs, leaving your stock Rom slot, uninstall SafeStrap......Then let Kingo Root unroot your phone. Now you are back to stock with 0x0!

dan330 · Feb 6, 2014

so.. the orginal OS.. is still on the system... taking up memory.
safestrap creates ROM memory virtual space (slots).. taking up memory.
you can create 1 or many ROM memory slots... as you want.
using safestrap, you can dictate which slot (only 1 at time) is active for the phone to use.. the rest are in active.

the orginial OS/ROM is still in the same spot.. so to the lock/counter.. it looks like the phone has never been changed... warranty is good.

you can have many ROMs on the phone.. example 10.

so.. how big are these memory slots??
what are the negatives with doing this.. other than loss of memory usage to the slots?
stable? speed loss?

rawhide85 · Feb 6, 2014

First you are limited to 4 slots. Also, they only use 4-5 GB of sd card space. The only Rom using any memory is the active slot. The best part about SafeStrap is you leave the Stock Rom intact for warranty purposes. I was amazed how simple this was.

Here's a snap of my home screen.

I was referring to storage memory.. not RAM.

so the original ROM is there.. then you add in slots and ROMs in each.
that just takes up storage space.

Does anyone know if there is a way to root a at&t note 3 n900a after the new update that came out a day ago? Today being 03/30/14. The kingo root thing no longer works after you updated the phone.

No, sorry.
What did you need root for anyways?

Marknderm · Mar 31, 2014

Because it says it needs root to run safestrap

kendellrt · May 18, 2014

All I see in this thread is a bunch of people asking if you can root the Note 3 N900A, and others replying no. I have looked all over, and there does not appear to be a way to root this phone with this baseband. Kingo also has a statement on their sight that says they don't have any plans on working on a root for 4.4.2 on the N900A as it involves so much work to get around Knox. They plan on working again when the next iteration of Android is released. Maybe another dev will figure out a way, but for now, I think the answer will continue to be no, you can't do it.
