Hello everyone. Sorry, I'm new to rooting and the forums, but I tried searching around the threads, both here and the AT&T Note 3 threads, and I couldn't find anything about rooting AT&T version of the phone. If anyone could link me to a thread that will let me root this, please post here, or if it's unrootable, please let me know, I tried searching for it.

The only ways to root mj5 is kingo or vroot which currently isn't allowed on the forums due to the suspicion of them containing malware.

I am wondering that same thing. I have 4.3 now rooted and getting rid of root seems unthinkable. The Note 3 is so powerful when properly setup, however the only way to set it up is having root functionality. I hope something comes soon because the build I keep seeing for N900AUCUMJ5 is buggy from what I read thus far. I can not wait for a stable root.

Hi guys,
I know this doesn't belong here but since I couldn't find the thread for the AT&T device I decided to post it here.
I have a handful of SGH-i257, this is the AT&T version of the S4 mini. As you might imagine the booloader is blocked and I don't have that much time to dig in to the unlocking process (I have tried) but I managed to root it and extract the images (boot, radio, efs, system, etc.) So if someone is interested in this please let me know and I will be more than happy to help.
Thanks

Ramping up
The AT&T i257 is great news! I have a Telus i257m, and these phones are great. They are like the i9000, so much potential!! Now that a larger carrier will be pushing them I hope we can get some developers on board and start getting some ROMs up!
We do have a thread started at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520299 where we're trying to get the stock images for most, if not all, the carriers. Do you mind uploading them there?

Hallo can you please post or email me step by step root process for this device? would be good to know, my friend was asking me to help him with that.
If you have the current and up to date firmware, you won't be able to root it. Knox will block any root access

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the locked bootloader is the one preventing from rooting? There's plenty user around with Knox and rooted... Just with the Knox flag triggered and void their warranty.

I'm trying to root this phone and would really be interested in more information as well. None of the recovery images will flash using Odin ("auth" error), and none of those automatic rooting apps have managed anything either.

I have tried every version of Towel Root but to no avail. It is my understanding that the dev that created this exploit is now working for Google and to my knowledge, there will be no more updates! I can only hope that someone here on XDA that's way smarter than me can pick up the baton and get things going again. Probably easier said than done but I'm very hopeful!

I also am desperate for someone much better at this than I to find a method. I hate the OTA! If we can't root, has anyone figured out how to remove the odin write protection so we can revert to the leak?
I'm stuck at this point waiting for a root method too. Does anyone know if Kingo will eventually add kitkat ? Have they been slowly upgrading the tool so far?

Chances are it will be a long while before we get any sort of root. I willingly took NC4 and have no regrets. Maybe one day we will get an unlock.

Perhaps, but maybe it will bring more awareness to it. I also installed the update without doing research to see if it could be rooted after, and now am sorely disappointed I cannot load cyanogenmod on it.
I've been searching all over and it still doesn't look like there's a solution for it. Hopefully somebody more experienced comes along, reads this, and figures out a solution for the rest of us mere mortals
Refer to the sticky that says do not OTA update.

with a BOUNTY of $18,500 for root it will certainly be no secret when/if its accomplished.

Refer to my utter lack of time travel capabilities, else I'd have flashed NC2 in the first place and not be in this pickle. (EDIT--should read "reading" capabilities, not "travel"!)

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]
Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..
Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant
Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!
Just jumping in.... Has anybody tried Kingroot 4.0? or the new PingPong root for the s6?

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.
Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...

Hi all. I have tried searching and looking through posts here but haven't been able to find anything specific for this.
I am thinking about upgrading to the V20 but the one thing holding me back right now is root.
I am not really interested in custom roms and don't really think I would need twrp. I would just be looking for stock but rooted.
I have seen several posts for the unlocked US996 and the mentions that they are not interchangeable, but nothing for the US Cellular version root yet. Has anyone tried root for it yet or know if it will ever be available?
Thanks.
