after unboxing its firware updated twice.
the thread I used contains root file for v4.2 and there is a mismatch with the version.

[Q] Major help needed with lollipop root

Hi Everyone
I have updated my note 3 to the lollipop version found on this thread using Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609
I'm now totally lost as to how i would go about rooting so that i can either flash a custom rom, or remove bloatware etc. I have rooted several devices before, but all the different note 3 models is whats got me lost and frustrated. My goal is to have safestrap (or something similar) installed, along with a recovery of some sort (cwm etc)
Does anyone have some clear and concise instructions as to how to root this device and flash rom's afterwards
Thanks for any help i get guys, sorry to be a pain

Odin back to NC2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54803130&postcount=136 Then root it, install Busybox and Safstrap. If you want Rooted Lollipop still "OC1 Stock Rooted Very Easy Procedure" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 Safestrap is your only recovery, no CWM or TWRP it's an AT&T phone so the Bootloader is locked.
Thanks for reply

[HOW TO] Network SIM Lock issue and Android version Downgrading

After suffering several times by sim network lock issue and an extensive search to find out right procedures out of XDA and their application each time, I decided to keep a thread dedicated for this issue and my experince about it.
Two methods are given. Method 1 (probably) worked in past, but did not when I faced the lock issue yesterday when I tried to update my OS to recent version. I was getting bootloop after firmware flashing. If anyone follows method 1 and faces same, then apply method 2.
Method 1:
1) Flash a kitkat rom (from our device's thread)
2) Flash a JB 4.3 rom. (I used stock release). Follow this method to downgrade to JB from Kitkat
3) Then flash stock JB 4.1.1 using the same technique above.
4) Use the instructions in quote here or use this pictorial version here.
5) Sim wil become unlocked.
6) Change/Update your OS if you wish.
Method 2:
1) Flash stock kitkat rom
2) Flash a custom 4.1.1 (I have used one from here) right upon kitkat
3) Step 4, 5 and 6 From Method 1.
Credits:
@qasim799 for clearing downgrade process
@LucasBass for quoting the unlocking procedure,
@pcwiztech for mentioning the custom JB rom,
@fs71gh for his hard work to compile all these info together in one thread, kidding
Where is there a stock 4.4 KitKat rom for this phone? I thought the last official f/w for the I9300 was 4.3?
I've looked everywhere including the SAM website but can't find a copy. Can you link to the stock 4.4 f/w please OP?

Simplest guide to update, fingerprint, and root?

I'm hoping someone can provide me with the simplest guide to update, fingerprint, and root my particular phone...
I have a ROG Phone 2 128gb Tencent Edition that I bought on eBay and it came with the WW 1906.19 ROM but still has the CN fingerprint. It's NOT currently rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
I do have experience rooting and flashing devices. I have a rooted Nvidia Shield Tablet and Nexus 5 currently and have rooted many other devices in the past. However, there seem to be so many different guides on here for this device, depending on several variables, that I'm just not sure what's right for MY device with it's several versions old ROM and mismatched fingerprint...
I would like to flash the newest WW ROM, fix the fingerprint to match the WW ROM, and root. Any help would be appreciated.
Search in YouTube 'Bobby Prats'. His videos are the simplest guide to follow.

Use this guide but as you want to keep root, ignore the final steps to unroot...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ro...-ww-rom-changing-cn-fingerprint-t3969765/amp/
then you can go ahead and flash this latest rom
ALTERNATIVELY,
instead of using the out dated rom in that thread, just use the raw rom from here and the root boot img from here that'll get you the latest 1910.35 rom on WW by using the rest of the instructions form the guide.
Also note, you need to remove or delete the original zip from the raw folder once extracted as it confuses the Flashall_AFT.cmd with the raw rom having the same name.
Also note, you need to delete the spaces from the links in the guide (located near the begining of the links), as the user didn't have enough posts to create working links... I keep meaning to get around to creating a guide with working links, but don't find the time lol!!
I've created a more up to date guide...
