Galaxy Note 3 ATT SM N900A - rooting failed and the unlock bootloader question

[richmace5]

I have an ATT Note 3 that was on 5.1, but I downgraded to 4.4.4 to see if I could get it to root. I have tried all of the available rooting options (towelroot, KingRoot, KingoRoot, iRoot etc) none of them work. Towelroot gives me the standard modstring error that I tried fixing with available codes, but that didnt work wither. So , my question is how do I work around the fact that I cannot get my phone to root and then do I need to unlock the bootloader or should I be able to install Safestrap after I get it rooted so I can load my ROMs? What other options are there for rooting the phone at this point?

Any help please!

thanks muchly

You need to bring it back a lil more to 4.4.2 and towleroot will work, that's what I did 4.4.4 wouldn't root. Now I'm rooted, supersu, safestrapped, dont use twrp itll softbrick your phone . I haven't installed a custom rom yet to be honest I like 4.4.2 overall appearance and os . get your ap bl cp from droidveiws watch the ap while downloading it has tendency to fail or interrupt. Watch the 1st night after you do it all itll try to update the OS so shut off your wifi mine tried I woke up to it but my battery was low so it stopped the upgrsde. Lucky. Next is to get that bootloader unlocked.
