Hey Guys,
I'm just looking for some direction on the best way to root my AT&T Note 3 that has already been updated to Kit Kat.
A lot of what I am reading is from people already rooted that are trying to update to Kit Kat but I have a unrooted Note 3 that is already running Kit Kat.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer rooting without tripping the Knox counter.
Thanks!

Nothing yet, check back later.
Go to development. Go to Knoxraid. Read.
there's no current root as of right now, even to get knoxraid, as the user above suggests, you have to have root in order to install safestrap to get knoxraid in the first place, to my understanding.
No. That's not necessarily true. You can use the restore method to go back to 4.3 then use safestrap to flash a 4.4 rom that has root. Like Knoxraid

What you say is true if you are on leak MLG kitkat. if on official/OTA kitkat (NC2) its impossible to revert to old MJ5 kernals. I've spent quite a few hours looking into this. If that has changed since i last investigated though, feel free to correct me
There is no reverting from the official NC2 kitkat.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the quality of the majority of users has really gone in the toilet on XDA?

Sorry to inform, however questions go in the "AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" not in the general section. The OP is in the right-of-way for posting a question in this section. There have been plenty of times when moderators have reminded posters to please post questions not in the general section, but in the Q&A section.
UPDATE: This is actually from the "General Section" as a sticky:

Just make sure to follow the steps exactly, and you'll have 4.3 again.

Just as greydiggy said, use the MJ5 restore method or just install a custom ROM.
Hey, I don't know if I've posted this in the right place but does anyone know if the galaxy camera 2 gets rooted will they be able to port that across to the galaxy camera. It's about time we had a update.

So far I've had no luck in rooting the Cam2, I'm missing xPosed and Gravity Box. There are some minor hardware differences between the two cameras and the Cam2 is on JB 4.3. Failing root on the Cam2, one might be able to pull the apk from rom.
Oh yeah we would still need the newer bootloader. It's annoying that Samsung have just forgot about us.

Newer boot loader? Is the no root or recovery for galaxy camera 2? Can find any info anywhere on the net.

It hasn't been rooted yet. Most of the root methods don't work on the Galaxy Camera 2. I'm going to make a request of Chainfire to see if cf-autoroot is possible, assuming I extracted the recovery.img correctly.
I've been able to pull some of the camera app files from my Cam2, not sure I've got all of them. The manifest does have some permissions that don't exist on the original camera.
Has anyone seen a download for the surround shot addon for the gs5? It's available on Samsung apps and for 4.2+ but only for the gs5:crying:

Thanks, just got it today. Its a nice camera!
It's a really good camera. I wanted to get the original Galaxy Camera about a year ago, but for a few reasons didn't. I really don't understand why they didn't include(or offer as an add-on) the surround shot, I have it on my Note3 and I've had that for almost 6 months.
So how is the new root working for you? Were you on the most current fw when you rooted?
Also, do you know of the camera is Knox?
Did you lose data after rooting?

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.
The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.
All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
Here's the link that I first posted in the other thread:
http://download.chainfire.eu/414/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-sf2wifi-sf2wifixx-ekgc200.zip
I see 4 others have also taken the plunge.
Thanks for the update. Will you be flashing a custom recovery?

I'd like to, but I'm not aware of any custom recovery for the Cam2.

Uh, not sure who the recovery experts would be.
I've had no problems with gravity box, I like pie.
Good to know. I have been googling search with exposed module name + boot loop and gravity box popes up a few times. It looks like their have been version that can cause boot loops. So be careful upgrading?

That's odd, works perfectly on my GC200.
I turned on edit notifications, pie and then advanced reboot. Next the screen went black camera vibrated for about 15 secs then eventually rebooted. Upon rebooot the android interface was brutally slow with some fc here and there but I managed to slowly navigate to exposed to uninstall.

Not sure about notifications, but I've got pie and advanced reboot enabled.
I'm not sure about using the xposed disabler via the samsung recovery since it's not signed.
Any news on a custom recovery, I asked philz but he hadn't responded yet. BTW do you know whet to download original fw for this camera, in case something goes wrong?

I haven't heard anything about recovery, I downloaded the fw from SamMobile.
As Samsung decided to not release the 4.4.4 update for the GT-I9305, can some developer please port the Update from GT-I9300I (GS3 NEO) to the LTE model?
(Moved it to the development forum for Developers to see it.)

Thanks buddy, but if they release 4.4.4 KitKat for the Note II they'll release it for the SGS3 at the same time, so no point actually, where can I get the Note II 4.4.2 Port for S3?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, if so please let me know and I'll kindly remove it.
I was wondering if there is currently any way to root a Galaxy S5 G900a (AT&T) on Lollipop 5.0? If anyone could clear this up for me I would be grateful. A simple 'no' or just a yes with a link will be fine.
Thanks!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app
If you used the guides in the general section on how to root and downgrade then you're
probably using the OA1 bootloader which is downgradable as far as i know.
However if you used the OTA update, then you're at OC4 or most likely OF(if you have taken the new updates)
And there is no way to downgrade.
We're all waiting here,
and there are already existing threads about this,
Use the search function next time.
I have used it with no luck so why dony you use it and let me know when it can be rooted
