If you get the OTA (or any other way) you will lose root and can NOT get it back.

yeah wont update when rooted
you can download firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash with odin or dont worry about it ,on some updates you cant root for now
Until 4.4 kitkat comes. Keep it rooted a lot more fun

How did you get it without a contract? Was it on eBay or something? AT&T is only offering the refurb N3 on a 2 year contract. $250 sounds like a great deal. Did you have to pay for activation as well?
They had a special on the Saturday before Easter. They tried charging me for the activation but i asked them to please get rid of that ridiculous charge and they gave me a 36 credit

You do realize that activation fees and contract are two different things, right?

Did you get it online or did you call AT&T? I tried online but its not showing as free if I upgrade my current line. Is it only for new customers?

I just got mine upgrade last week. It came with 4.3 and would not update to 4.4.2 when I tried to upgrade the day I got it. However it did upgrade a day or 2 later. So far I'm loving it came here today to see about rooting it.

All 3 of mine came with 4.3 (MJ5). Was able to root with Kingo and install safestrap.

If you took the OFFICIAL over the air update to 4.4.2, you are stuck on it and unrootable. Is that what you are saying?
Yep, all Note 3s come with 4.3 installed. Perfect for rooting!
This is all great news. I have been freaking out that it would come with 4.4 installed (since the details of the phone on the ATT website says Android OS 4.4)
Mine is on the truck and out for delivery so it should be at my house waiting for me when I get home. Can't wait to root and SS (although I have no experience with SS).
My understanding is, and please correct me if I am wrong, if it comes with 4.3 then I will be able to root, install SS and then install a custom TW rom but I will not be able to install any AOSP Rom's.
Guess it's time to do some research.
Thanks for the help guys.
Sapps
ps. Will the phone try to autoupdate to 4.4 when I turn it on? If so, is there a way to stop that process before it begins? Should I turn it on with no SIM and no WIFI? and then root?
Got my refurn it jumped to NB4 what safestrap should i use
I just got my note 3 att refurn exchange after a kitkat update.. (Worked for exchange) and it auto updated to NB4. I am still un 4.3.
I was able to root it with Kingo, I put the 3.71 safestrap in.. What Roms can I load. Do I have to be back on MJ5 or will the NB4 work with custom roms loaded with safestrap. I Froze att updates with titanium. I don't want to loose root or safestrap. Can I put any custom 4.3 while on NB4? Please help have gone through 100's of pages trying to find this answer.
Can I put in any custom kitkat roms with the 3.71 safestrap. All help is appreciated.
As an update....I received my refurbished Note 3 yesterday. Took out the sim, charged battery, turned it on. Rooted with Kingoroot. Installed 3.71 SS. Followed the procedure for upgrading to 4.4 using leaked version.
So now all is right with the world. I have my Note and it is rooted. Yes, I'll miss AOSP roms for now, but I'll survive.
Sapps
PS. In case someone is wondering, I took the SIM out to make sure that it didnt get a forced OTA update to KK like I have seen many mention they were victims of.

Sounds good! I am in the same boat. Will be getting a refurbed one in a few days. Just curious, after you installed the leaked KK version, did OTA still come on, since it is not the same version as the official KK?

No, I havent seen any requests and I am not expecting any. It is my understanding that OTA would not work for those running custom ROM's but I could be wrong about the reason but I am pretty sure that we wouldnt see the OTA request.
I got my refurb Note 3 with 4.4.2 already installed.
I was hoping for 4.3 so I could root it isn't bad stock after disabling a ton of bloat. Just wish I could link ringtone and notification volumes.
Anyone know if the same root process works on the the G Pad 7?
Yes. I was able to successfully root the G pad with purpledrake. Towel root and stump root did not work for me.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
But how are you going to flash stock to reset the root counter? Also, if you try to update ota it will most fail due to root.

So far nobody has any access to a factory image to restore stock. I was rooted with purple drake and think I received a small update the other day. Keep in mind I rooted and that's all. I have not removed any bloat or have not changed anything like adding exposed or titanium. I am still trying to see what update I took because I cut it on one time after it had been rooted and I saw a message about my device was updated successfully.
Mine came with V41010B out of the box. Received an update for V41010D.

My V410 came with V41010B out of the box, but I've never received any updates, and I check about every other day too. I bought mine on the 4th of September. All I've done it root and install Exposed, but those are both easily undoable.
You can unroot, but the root counter is still going to show you rooted

I don't care about that. I have yet to have any company, cellular or otherwise ever check that. I recently traded in my Note 3 to AT&T for a G3, all they cared about was that it was working and in good condition.
I took that thing back. Didn't know when you get the pad you're signing a contract for two years......

It works for the most part a little buggy though.

No, haven't tried much. Without a stock Rom to flash on case something goes south in not risking anything

I found an app called disable service root needed of course and under google services I unselected update service so the notification is gone to install the update however I would like to go to the directory and rename that update to something .bak to prevent a later self install or verizon trick

Wron place for this post. Go and ask: HERE.
Does anyone have a leaked firmware update to 5.0 lollipop? For the sm-n900v (verizon)
Every other carrier already has it out. I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat. And want to update. I will root if nessasary as long as it doesn't affect knox. Thank you in advance.
Lol you should really read threads and look for information before posting. Most people wont even bother with your question if its already answered in a thread somewhere . First of you cant root 4.4.4. as of yet. I have a bounty going to get some incentive to get root. But it looks to be locked down tight and i dont see it coming anytime soon. No your stuck reguardless if there is a leak or not you have to wait for the upgrade release by verizon i would recommend not getting the firmware if you want root and wait to see what happens with development.

There is no leaked firmware from Verizon, no other firmware will load on the Verizon Note 3.
