The article says that in step 6 you will end up rooted with the bootloader unlocked. Can anybody confirm that this does indeed unlock the bootloader on the att note 3?

I JUST got my G-Note 3 Flashed, at a Local Device Center, with 4.4.2. Kingo Root would NOT root it.
Towelroot made quick work of it. Good Stuff.
Bootloader remains locked (of course).
It works just fine i use this on my ATT S5

Successful Root for Stock 4.4.2 NC2 Note 3
Stock 4.4.2 AT&T NC2 and A3 bootloader. Towelroot worked with no issues at all. Running XPosed, Titanium Backup, AdBlocker. All AOK.
Much thanks again Geohot!!!
No guys, this is not a scam. It works perfect on my N900A Note 3.
Woohoo! worked on my SM-900A NC2. Thank god, I was really feeling down not having root.

This must have been asked before in other threads, but just to get up to speed here ...
Do we know if the bootloader on the SPH-L720 can be flashed?
I know AT&T and Verizon haven't been cracked yet, but I'm hoping the Sprint model has.
Any details? Thanks!
-- Andy
The boot loader is cracked by default. No worries. With sprint you can crack flash until device blows up.
No

None of the bootloaders are cracked. We received a leak and sprint hasn't messed with us since. There is a big difference between cracked and leaked.

The Sprint GS4 has an unlocked bootloader. No leaks required. The fact that you can Odin a custom recovery and flash a rom right out of the box without even rooting should tell you everything you need to know.

So I can go ahead and get the L720 and do all the rooting and custom bootloading,
without having to worry if it's possible, like those Verizon folks?
This is awesome! I hope Josh is working on an S4 JellyBomb.

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?
If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?
Does anyone know if there's a legit way to root s4 i337 MK2? I keep getting conflicting info.
I tried Kingo Root yesterday. So far it seems to be working great. During the process, I received several pop ups to install software that was considered potentially harmful. I cancelled each install and was still able to gain successful root. While prices was simple and took about 5 minutes.

In the mf3 thread they said kingo is not recommended. Is there a reason it's not? I used kingo on mf3 and if it works on mk2 without problems I'd like to use again as I don't need custom recovery or roms. But I'm afraid of att updating again and it screwing my phone,

Jeesh. It worked so well too. Wish it could be reversed engineered to see what they did to root.
To answer your question, No there is no verified safe method to root MK2 if you are not already rooted prior to update.

Do you know if anyone is working on a root for this update?
Kingo works for MK2. I can confirm it worked with no added instability or apparent issues on the 2 I337 devices I've messed with. But is it reliable? Well, it does send your IMEI to a Chinese server for some unknown reason. You can try Vroot if you want but it's definitely not as 'user friendly' if you catch my drift.

XDA evidently considers Kingo malware, so no link from here. But just type "kingo galaxy s4 root" into Google and it should be the top result. Their website states that it is for the i9500, but it has been confirmed for the i337. As always, USE THIS PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install Philz on my Canadian Note 3 but I'm having problems. I used the instructions on this thread and everything went ok, however when I rebooted I got "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
So I tried using Odin3 v3.09 and "philz_touch_6.08.9-hltecan.tar.md5", it went ok. But when I reboot into recovery the same thing happen.
So I tried philz_touch_6.12.8 and Odin 1.85, but they all do the same. Also installed Kies for the canadian version to update the drivers and still the same.
Any ideas?
Fix is here. You need the right version for the version of Android that you are running.

Correct me if I am wrong, but due to the locked bootloader on the N900A, you cannot have TWRP. You only have Safestrap.

My warranty just ended and i wanted to try a one click root method. I saw a lot of samsung users on youtube using towelroot so I decided to try that. I downloaded the app, the first time i clicked make it rain, it read, phone is not currently supported. In the video discription it gave a different modstring for sprint model s4's. So i tried that, and i got the same message. None of the modstrings seem to work and ive tried many other root apps but i prefer towelroot. I dont have a computer on hand to use odin and i really want to use a one click method. How far away will the next update be to fix towel root and if not any other one click apps??

If you took the NG2 update, Towelroot won't work. That loophole is currently closed.
And don't ask when something will be updated. The devs here do this for free and have personal lives to worry about. They'll get updates out when they get updates out.
