Edit: as the phone has a locked bootloader, it gets more complicated.
You'd have better luck on AT&T's Note 3 section than here. We have locked bootloaders, and have to use a couple workarounds to get rooted on LP.
Here's the thread for stock rooted LP 5.0 OC2
Basically, you have to Odin back to NC2 (official), root/bb/su/etc., reboot into safestrap & flash the ROM above.
Darn, I had no idea that ATT was still doing that.
Thanks guys... my original note was easy to root this one not so much

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out a few things with the S4 and read a lot of stuff but I have a few unanswered question.
I come from using NExus phones since Nexus 1. Unlock Phone, install CWM and then use it to flash roms or rooting scripts.
Now, I have S4. I am still with their STOCK on I337M (Canadian Model) and I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and ODIN.
What I don't understand, is:
- Can I flash CWM and then just use CWM and SuperSU-vx.xx.zip to root? Why Use Odin?
- Now that I am rooted, if I new SAMSUNG firmware comes along, I am assuming it will fail, I will have to unroot and then apply firmware and then root again? How do I unroot? "Full Unroot" from the option in the app just like the Nexus phones?
- S4 has a counter from what I read, but lot's of warning about bricking phone is that only active on Samsung stock? What if I flash a google stock?
- Can I just use Rom Manager Pro as I used to with Nexus devices...
if I flash CWM, is it replacing ODIN? Is odin a recovery like Odin! If anyone can point out and explain the difference between CWM , ODIN, Nexus phones and S4 it would be great...
I know that now when I go to download mode (Is that like fastboot?) it shows binary as being custom, but I don't get a yellow triangle when I boot...
Thanks for any info regarding explaining what ODIN is...
I also noticed although I have 16GB phone, 6.38GB is system! That is huge! Is that normal?
There are some nice features that I would not like to lose, so I stuck with samsung and just use NOVA home screen...
This is actually the "ATT Galaxy S4Active" forum. S4 forum will have answers to all your S4 questions.

Only thing I still wonder is about updates that samsung releases. It will remove root? I guess I have to wait till chainfire has a rooting script then update.
Thx.

I just went through the un root because I was only using it for one thing. I ended up flashing the original ROM using Odin then doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Now waiting for the update not sure I will root until S4 is not longer updated by Samsung.

Hi,
Look HERE
OTA will remove root,and the latest will lock down your bootloader.
Hi
I have AMG1... I think this is the latest one but I was able to root.. Will locking boot loader prevent rooting.. Could it be another one for at only?
Thanks
Note: yes. I did notice chainfires note.. But he doesn't say what load is the latest.. There are so many Samsung s4 models devices.. Each with different models its so confusing

I just installed CWM on latest version of Canadian I337M AMG1... Its good so far.
Xda modder.. There are differences between i337 att and Canadian i337m.. No forum specific to the Canadian folks?
Thanks...

I managed to root my AT&T S4 successfully which is half the battle. I haven't flashed on this device yet but did a few times on my older Droid X. I am thinking of flashing GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 that I found on this site under ROMS. Is there like an easy process to flash roms?
Thanks
You need to tell us what firmware version you're on. Different versions have different methods to flash roms.

Is there a way to root a verizon note 3 running nj6 firmware right now? If not how do I downgrade back to 4.4.2? I just accidentally upgraded to 4.4.4 and now I don't know if I can root it or not. Is there also a way to get safestrap on 4.4.4 right now?

I'm sorry. You are stuck with 4.4.4. At this point, there is no way to go back.

No there is no way to root it yet. Just hold on to it for a few more days. Once a rooted ROM comes out, it will open the gates.
Ok thanks for the info
I'm wondering how fast this will happen since developer Hashcode is no longer actively involved in rooting
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
I'm also wondering how long it will take for there to be a rooting method for 4.4.4
Patience is needed but I expect months of waiting.
That sucks

All I want is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.lumen&hl=en(Cf.lumen) Not sure if that's formatted right, but yeah, I just want a 2700k screen without losing a ton of contrast. It would be MUCH nicer on the eyes.
Does it work?

Now is there a way to root nj6? Or how much longer do we have to wait for a rooting method?

There is no root method as of now, and there is no way of know how long or if there will ever be one.
I don't keep my hopes to high, since the focus of the enablers is on lollipop by now...

Nooo don't say that, somewhere was to be a hero dev, who loves the Note 3 4.4.4 .
?????
It's so sad to known I voluntarily upgrade to NJ6.
(sobs)
I guess I too don't keep my hopes up for getting a root for android 4.4.4 cause I agree all the devs are focusing on android l aka android 5.0

Keeping hope alive.
Mean while I prefer to use my Samsung GT-N7000 (NOTE 1) rooted than the rock with nice pouch called SM-N900V (NOTE 3)
I might just call Verizon & claim my phone is broken so I can get a replacement & see if the replacement phones come with 4.4.2

You may have a battery that's outlived its usefulness. They only last a year or two.
5.0 is supposed to better battery life than 4.4.4
You can locate 4.4.4 on sammobile.com and use the latest version of Odin to flash your Note 3.

Anyone had a problem with not getting call? I had a problem on my s3 then switched to the note 2 and had none at all..but now again I seem to be haven this program..I was reading could be the 5.0 update? A friend of mine who has a note 3 I rooted about a year ago got ahold of me and wants to trade phones since he's still on 4.4.2 and I can them use the rooted 5.0 and he really don't use and or need root anyway he just want 5.0 so I'll probably do that soon
If you need root, it's best to wait for a newer phone that is rootable and go that route. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not jumping on anything for a replacement until I see it has root, then I'll buy. Personally I'm waiting to check out the new Moto X that has a SD card. Not going with a new Note due to it lacking that. My two years with the N3 is up in Oct so sometime around then I'll figure it out I hope, otherwise I'm sticking with my rooted, 128gb sd carded still working fine as hell N3....
So, we would have to revert to an older version of Android before we could root? Kingo won't work with a 5.0 Verizon note 3?

Because no exploit is avaliable if you are at our above 4.4.4
No you can't downgrade below 4.4.4
No there's nothing else you can do to get root.
