This is gotta be at&t's fault no? lol I have t-mobile, it's for a friends s4. he's stuck on mf3
AT&T and Verizon have locked down bootloaders. When the OTA install starts, it blows a Qfuse making it impossible 'at this time' to downgrade back to a previous build.

So I couldn't use Odin to flash an earlier version of the baseband to also root, and stop myself from upgrading to mf3 again?

No. The bootloader is locked, and does not allow downgrade. Once you are on mf3, there is no going back.
No. It is impossible to downgrade anything. Read up on it. There is more in depth stuff than what I said. As of now, there is no way to downgrade, install a custom recovery, flash a rom, use Odin, etc. Only root is possible.

I was really thinking about rooting because i wanted to install this audio mod for music. That's really the only thing I wanna do. Also, to get rid of some bloat ware. But I still have very good battery

Root is possible, but if you mess something up, you may not be able to fix it until we get an Odin flushable MF3.be very careful with it.

If anything goes wrong with installing the mod you may be screwed. Also, saying you want to "get rid" of bloatware leads me to believe you want to delete. Don't, just freeze them.
I would wait--

Keep your eye on this app called Safestrap by Hashcode. It's being developed for Verizon S4 but most likely will work on AT&T's as well. Read more on what it is and other cool things about it here, be sure to read thoroughly so you fully understand what it does haha.

I'm on MF3 as well and I know how you feel. At least we can root.
Good things come to those who wait

Anyone see this new update to set the SELinux to permissive on boot.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Saw that. That should fix the TiBu app restore problem I think.
From what I've read, this is what was holding back potentially going around the bootloader. Is this what this means?

Wanam had another update and it says you may need to grant root access to android os process. Not sure how that would differ from root I have now?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
This has probably to do with what they were working on Verizon. They got safestrap working on Verizon and said they should have safestrap for ATT in a week or so.
Hopefully this has something to do with that and we can get the workaround for the bootloader.
Edit: You can do a search for safestrap verizon att note 3 and you'll find it.
It has not been updated about the ATT safestrap, but you can see where it says it would be coming in the next week. They stated that on the 11/17. So...... it's been a week.

For some reason I was prompted to do a new update on wanam.. I did. Rebooted with the SELinux option xhexked. When I rebooted I got a messaged suing android o's denied. When into super super there was a new option and I set it to granted.. However still says enforcing but I think we are getting somewhere.

I've been searching the forums trying to find out if ill be able to take my device in to have it serviced once rooted. I know ill have to unroot it first, but will the people at sprint be able to tell if its been rooted like the verizon varient?

The good thing about Sprint is the majority of techs don't even care if it's rooted. I know I sure as hell don't! What are you bringing it in for?

The device is fine right now, this is just a precaution. I've had techs of both persuasions pro and anti rooting... Im coming from the E4GT on sprint and the only problems i had were hardware issues... No SD slot here so i see this breaking for a software issue? Am i wrong to think this?

First of all three weeks isn't that long yet, I've been (im)patiently waiting since VZW got it
Second of all, cranking the Update Motorola Software button won't help you a bit, they push out a batch of updates every now and again, if you didn't get it then you won't get after hitting the button either. Just sit tight and it'll come in due time...

me either... still waiting. I check to look every 30 minutes. I know it doesn't help to do so, but I hope that one time it will find it and BAM 4.4.
Maybe you have to be on WiFi because I went to my friends house turned on my WiFi and got the update soon after. This was yesterday. Currently running kitkat and it's buttery smooth.
Look in the sprint dump thread. Very easy way to flash it without root or custom recovery.

Probably not through area but probably 'completely random'. just draw a few numbers and go with that...

Haven't kept up, but if it is GPE it is possible. Don't discount our DEVS--:good:
Also, won't it be 5.0. Think it has been seen on S5--
Several sites talk about this, here's one--
Gpe in my opinion aren't as stable. They lack USB mounting and other details. I don't doubt our devs. It's just they GOD DAMIT I HATE LOCKED BOOTLOADERS!!
