[Q] Root VZW Note 3 on OTA 4.4??

Just wondering if it's possible to root the Note 3 on VZW. I'm running the OTA 4.4.2 and would very much like to root.
I've a lot of experience rooting and flashing the Droid X2 and RAZR, but this is my first Samsung device. I know a little about the
Knox Sensor and I'm fine if it trips, although I'd rather not if possible. Thanks for the help in advance and if you need anymore information, please ask. Thanks again.

There currently is no working root method and you can not use Odin to go back to a previous rootable build.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Any idea on a time frame when a method would be available?

I have no idea and I haven't really seen much chatter about a working method yet.

Thanks to towelroot, the Verizon version is finally rooted. I just tried it today and yes it worked like a charm.

Yeah, I just dusted mine off and am about to root. We need some roms and such now.

[How To] Enable WiFi Hotspot on Rooted Lollipop OC1 ROM's

Enable native tethering on Galaxy Note 3 AT&T (SM-N900A) running Android 5.0
This is personally Tested on my Galaxy Note 3 running rooted OC1 5.0 Rom
and Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 running rooted 5.0 rom
Backup your existing TetheringProvision.apk (I just renamed my old one TetheringProvision.apk1)
place modded apk in system/app/TetheringProvision/
Make sure permissions are set as seen in screenshot
delete TetheringProvision/ARM folder before rebooting
Reboot device
????????????
Profit!
As always this is at your own risk

It works!! I have to delete TetheringProvision/arm and reboot. Thanks a bunch, have been looking for this for a while.

Awesome! Glad to hear that it worked for you.
Sofar I've far I have tested the modded APK on ;
AT&T Galaxy S4 on both Android 4.4.4 and 5.0
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0
At&T Samsung Galaxy S5 on 4.4.2

AT&T Note 3 here and i can say it works and is much better than the last workaround i tried. Basically after using the tether I had to restart the phone to reenable wifi. :laugh:
Edit: Spoke too soon. When I turn off the hotspot wifi comes back on and connects. However, the occasional web page will refuse to load. Will only load 3/4 of the way unless I leave it for like 2 minutes. Pages with embedded video don't load within that time period at all. But youtube embeds work as does the app. Restarting the phone fixes everything.
At least it is progress in my case! Using an app before would cause wifi to show as toggeled on, but refused to connect or turn off.

Hello guys I'm new to the android devices I tried to install this apk file but it just tells me that it is not installed is their another app that I need to get this to work I just rooted my note 3 yesterday and upgraded to the lollipop thanks in advance

WaNam xposed for lollipop that's how.

Thanks for this

Galaxy Note 3 (9000A) on CricKet network running 4.4.2. Towelrooted months ago and TouchWiz recently began crashing, so I finally did a factory reset. Lost ability to hotspot tether using FoxFi/PdaNet. Did the reset change some settings? If so, how do I change them back? Perhaps someone more experienced could walk me through the apk change or point me to a "____ for Idiots" type tutorial.

Anyone try this on OC2?

If you are rooted, use Wanam Xposed & MotoTether. I use this method on Cricket. Then just use the native tether on phone.

Great thanks cgm8.
I spent almost 2 hrs based on OPs steps but it kept saying "TetheringProvision.apk failed" or something after each reboot and then I almost gave up.
Luckily I saw your post that we should delete the ARM folder so I thought of giving it a last try...just in case you know.
And BOOM... after deleting the ARM folder and rebooting again, no error and then when I went to settings to enable HotSpot, it enabled flawless...lol
OP, can you pls add this simple step i.e. delete TetheringProvision/ARM folder before rebooting so everyone gets 100% success in this...???
Anyway, thanks a lot OP for this or else nothing else matters...

Will Att still see you tethering without the correct plan?

Not to be picky but Cricket is not a reseller, but 100% AT&T with no middleman.

an update. I used supersume pro, gave me trouble doing it so I had to remove some of the kingroot files manually. seems to be working, super su working. as for the apk provision files, no joy, seems something is different in 5.0.1 so i went with wifi tether router and that works just fine. finally, its been a long road to get here...

I have Rooted NC1 lollipop flashed via SS recovery.
Followed all steps but hotspot not working.
Also there is no ARM folder inside TetheringProvision...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE , New Method to Enable Tethering Hotspot :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. installed "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk" (for lollipop)
2. Flashed "xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip" via softstrap recovery (Note 3 at&t only)
3. Rebooted and Installed "com.dym.motoxtether_v5_aa815c.apk".
4. Open Xposed Installer -> Modules -> Check X Tether Module and Reboot Phone.
5. Done !! Tethering is Working Now.
This Process has been tested on Note 3 AT&T Running on Lollipop 5.0 Stock.
All files attached here and taken from xda.

Thank you. The tether apk worked fine from the first post. And the xposed worked from the post above. I now believe my phone is as good as it can get while locked.

Works like a charm - S5 Active G870A
I did the steps and its working, for now an hour with no issues. Even ran a few matches of Fortnite on the Xbox! There were some slightly different folders/names. But, I figured which ones to delete.
Thanks!

[Q] Any hope for rooting N900V lollipop?

Is there any new hopes for rooting updated N900V (lollipop)?
The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
Is there a way to rollback and root?

I am also looking to root my sm-n900v on 5.0 lollipop because I cannot stand the Verizon nonsense clogging up my device. Also, I leave for Europe on the 9th and was hoping to use local sims instead of Verizon international. I was under the impression Note 3 was unlocked for this kind of use, but when trying to use a local sim in Mexico, I was told the phone was locked. Is a rooted phone necessary to switch out and use an international SIM? If so I must scramble to figure out another option as I was hoping to root my device, not understanding this was not possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Tried it, doesn't work

I also tried and no success by one click root..
I dont know how they have put that post on their site if it is not working at all..they mentioned it clearly for note3 sm-n900v lollipop.
It is ridiculous to do so..disappointed

I agree. Leading us on but no root.

I'm waiting too

So there is no possible way to root a lollipop Verizon Note 3? That is a bit crazy but the only reason I wanted to root was to remove the pre-installed apps. Please update if anyone has figured out some way. I wish these phones didn't come with all this bloatware. The Samsung apps are fine but Verizon are the ones I'd like to get rid of or at least some of them. Thanks!!

Dead link?

There is no root for the n900v 4.4.4 or later versions, and it doesn't seem anyone is working on one.

At least that was a direct answer! ugh just bummed out now because I was forced to come back to this phone after my other one got a tiny splatter of water on it and freaking DIED.
I really wish someone would

Is the bootloader locked as well? If not can you flash a custom recovery like TWRP?

No service after rooting

So I got this Note 3 as a gift from a relative. So I don't have much info on it. Apart from it having Vodafone Bloat pre-installed. I have the device on stock rom Android version 4.4.2, and NG1 baseband. So I tried rooting with CF-autoroot and it successfully rooted but unfortunately ever since I rooted it, there's no network. It reads the sim, but it doesn't register to any network. I also installed Xposed right after rooting before realizing the issue when trying to download modules (since samsung has a bad habit of showing me network bars even without a sim)
So now I'm in dire need of a solution since this is my only working phone at the moment and I'll be leaving tomorrow for Eid at a relative's house where I won't have my PC.
I've looked around in the forums but there's no definite solution. No, I didn't flash stock back yet. I'll have to wait till 12AM when my ISP doubles my speed. But any tinkering I can do now?

Flashed thrice and the third time's a charm. Got everything back!

Did you flash the entire rom or just the modem? Let us know in case someone else is facing the same problem. Thanks.
