Stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3

Update Software for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900A)

How to updated to OC2 if your OTA failed

1. Download and unzip and copy this Folder to OC1 stock root backup to your TWRP backup folder,
\TWRP\BACKUPS\0b70b440\N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup

2. Copy OC1 kernel recovery installer to your sdcard SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
*** You can also go ahead and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk and NC2 Flasher to your sdcard ***

3 Download the OC2 OTA 2400258.cfg
rename the 2400258.cfg OC2 to 2400258.zip and copy to your sdcard

4 Install the OC1 backup,

N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup.zip

5. Install OC1 Kernel
SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip

6. (I did a factory wipe , but Warning you will loose UserData settings and Apps you installed) You might try without but if you had a custom SystemUI and Touchwiz as I did it might FC because you have setting in Userdata pertaining to the Custom apps that you will over write with the OC1 backup.

7. Select Reboot and then select Recovery to boot to stock recovery and install as a update from external storage. mine installed with no issues.

8. To get safe strap back working Download and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk to sdcard (if you have not done yet)

9. Download and copy NC2 Flasher by benwaffle

10. Install Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03, run app and install recovery ( do not press reboot to recovery, it will only take you to stock recovery)

11. Install NC2 Flasher app and then use it to boot to recovery.

12. Do a backup of your new OC2

Now you can customized and do what you want

This thread saved my butt two nights ago. Soft bricked my phone and this got me back and running. I'd say this is the other "restore to mj5" thread. I had no ROM on my phone and rebooted then got stuck on galaxy note 3 screen. It's even way easier than the restore to mj5 method. Thank you so much, Carl!

since you did the MGL odin ver 2, you need to just odin install the NC2 firmware to replace MGL's apnhlos
NC2_Bootloader_N900AUCECMLG_VER_3 already had the correct NC2 firmware except the recovery, OTA will patch the recovery
also next time You have trouble with busybox uninstalling, just reboot the phone it will finish, when you try againg it shows it not installed, busybox app bug

UPDATE!!!!!!

Video Guide for Installing and Using Safestrap by Face_Plant

Installing Safestrap v3.72 by Face_Plant:good:

1. Download and install Busybox from the Play Store.
2. Download and install Safestrap v3.72
3. Open Safestrap and click on "install recovery"
4. Reboot and you should see a screen with a robot thing on it. Press the button on the lower left of the screen to boot into Safestrap
5. Make a backup of your stock ROM
6. Go to wipe and do a factory reset
7. Go to install and select the ROM you wish to install
8. Reboot after it's done installing

Tips:
1. I recommend saving all backups to your external SD card in case you accidentally wipe your internal storage
2. NEVER USE THE FORMAT DATA FEATURE!!! This will completely wipeout the stock slot on your phone and brick it. You will not be able to boot into Safestrap to recover (ask me how I know....)

You can use the ROM slots, but the reboot menu will not work. You have to pull the battery to shut it down. You will also get notifications that you're running out of storage. I looked at the storage info in settings after getting this notification and it said ~25 gigs were required to run the ROM as opposed to the 6GB or so that's normally required.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ROOT FIX !!

Thanks to geohot

Install N900AATTCNC2_KERNEL.tar.md5 Kernel (3.4.0-722276) with Odin then
Towel Root will work TR.apk

Odin Install

Verify Kernel Install

Verify Root Root Checker

Now You can Install SafeStrap 3.7.2 and install any custom ROM YOU NEED BUSYBOX FOR SAFESTRAP to WORK
Do a factory reset from Safestrap

First Copy sec_csc.zip to your external SD-Card ( you have to get one if you do not have one)
Then install with ODIN the 4 files from NC2_Bootloader_Odin3_Install_N900AUCECMGL.zip

Make Sure Your ODIN Looks Like the Picture here

After Odin reboots your phone, Immediately Hold Down POWER + MENU + VOLUME UP BUTTON and get into recovery and install sec_csc.zip

You Cannot Use this Copy of MGL KitKat to down-grade to 4.3
Once You Updated to NC2 KitKat Your stuck cannot go back, your are burn to fuse 3

The Only thing changed in the BL_N900AUCECMGL.tar
is the [aboot] file
from the OTA NC2 Update. So this is not a FULL NC2 Firmware

I used sgs2toext4 (created by drphrozen ) to convert cache.img.ext4 to cache.img.ext4.img
then used ext2explore to unpack cache.img.ext4.img

UnPacked You find the sec_csc.zip and command files in it.

command file did this with original Install :

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_factory
--wipe_data

unzipping sec_csc.zip we find security files and AT&T setup

Updater script in META-INF Folder

show_progress(0.100000, 0);
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

But we have to do it manually with stock recovery

why would you want the leaked kitkat? and this version of kit kat might not run
Because you have the full NC2 Firmware

isn't the mgl firmware is downgradable to 4.3?

Not This copy, once you update to OTA kitkat you cannot go back

Walter.White · Apr 2, 2014

Nice. Hopefully this will help out people who accidently only updated to NC2 bootloader. By the way, once the full NC2 is released you should flash that so that you can get future OTAs

It works on a bricked Note 3 AT&T after stock KitKat upgrade

Nothing else worked for me - dozens of "unbrick Note 3 AT&T" threads had the same outdated info and files, which the new bootloader of AT&T KitKat would not take. The phone was simply stuck in boot loop - neither system nor recovery would not boot. The only thing I could do was enter the Odin download mode with Volume down + Home + Power keys. Carl helped me with this file, flashed with Odin as described at the start of this thread and my phone started working at once. The system was upgraded to the leaked KitKat Android 4.4.2. My data was not lost nor the phone was reset, even after I flashed sec_csc.zip under recovery (I used adb sideload method, but it's not relevant, flashing from SD card or phone memory would probably work the same).

Thank you again, Carl, for your patience, preparing and uploading this huge file for us!!! You are really a very smart person to figure all of this out and get us out of a tight corner!

Greg

I'll be rather watching for a root method for my phone, and when this is back, will see if I can get CyanogenMod working on my Note 3, or something similar (maybe OmniROM will start supporting it too?) Don't want anything from AT&T anymore, if I can avoid it! In the future probably won't buy another Samsung device.

This guide and method is really helpful when one accidentally installed NC2 bootloader before installing NC2 system.

Thank you! You are the man!

what rom was installed last? was it the official KK rom

if so try reinstalling the 2400258.zip from recovery, or sideloading with adb from stock recovery.

if all fails then you may be stuck with this MGL rom in this thread

I'm uploaded AP_N900AUCECMGL_N900TUVUCNB4_NC2_BOOT.IMG_MGL_RECOVERY.tar.zip

try installing it with Odin, then see if you can boot into recovery and reinstall the OTA update, it will only work if your original OTA is still there and it can see in build prop

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/hlteuc/hlteatt:4.3/JSS15J/N900AUCUBNB4:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/hlteuc/hlteatt:4.4.2/KOT49H/N900AUCUCNC2:user/release-keys" ||

if it complains then you have to get this rom in this thread installed with odin

I was rooted, running NC2 ROM, made a newb mistake and had to use this so I'm on stock unrooted MLG. I never did the OTA to NC2 but I do have A3 status. Can I downgrade to regain root or no?

No if your download mode shows a A3 then your stuck. what NC2 rom where you running with root? Some DEV's have used the build.prop from a NC2 OTA update so your phone showed it was NC2.

This threads OP warned that it contains the new bootloader (A3), so installing it would have installed the new bootloader.
