I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of flashing the new NAB Engineering Bootloader for our Note 3 users. A huge thanks to @freeza for posting it the original Bootloader TAR!

For more information on what the Bootloader is and isn't please visit his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655674.

I do not own a Note 3 so I have not been able to test this as I would normally prefer to do before releasing. I do however feel comfortable that it should work as designed.

Before proceeding please verify that you are already on either the NAB or NABD builds. If you are, feel free to proceed.
If you are not DO NOT proceed, you will brick your device.


Instructions:

1: Download the NAB Engineering or Stock Bootloader One-Click.
"SM-N900P NAB Engineering Bootloader.exe"
"SM-N900P_NAB_Stock_Bootloader.exe"

2: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the Bootloader.exe was saved.
Double-click on Bootloader.exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

3: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.

4: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.

5: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].

6: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.

Enjoy!

@rwilco12 Do you think you can also release the official non-engineering edition bootloader tar for us to flash? I'm currently on the engineering edition but all those lines at boot are kind of tripping my OCD. :p

Boy this is why I love choices. I prefer the engineering/open bootloader, others prefer stock. Having both is an excellent thing indeed.

Glad we have this, that you requested it, and that Rwilco12 published it.

Everyone benefits.

More cowbell.

I bet a dime.

Triband cubed.

HELP!

As usual these things never work for me. I followed all the steps in the OP and my phone stock in a Bootloop. So I tried running Freeza's stock tar, and now I see all the code stuff on my screen right above the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen. But my phone is still in a Bootloop. Can anybody point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thanks

Were you already on a KK build? The OP has it in RED text that you already had to be on a KK build for this to work. That's the only thing j can think of.

Damn it. That's it. That's what's wrong. My non-reading ass. Sh**. Is there anyway to flash the Full Stock ROM thru ODIN and then Root again?

Damn man, IDK. I would PM the OP or Freeza. My personal guess would be to flash the official KK tar in Odin (the one that Freeza posted.) However, IDK if that will work. You need some advice from someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Hadnt heard back from Freeza yet so, I flashed his stock tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655883) and it restored my phone and updated it to KitKat. All of my apps and things are here but I'm not rooted. So, going to do that now

Cool, happy that worked. The way I gained root was by flashing Phil's CWM in Odin then entering recovery. Once in recovery there is an option to check for root. It will prompt you to reboot and when your up and running go to the Play Store and D/L SuperSU. That's what I did at least.

Yes. Just flash superuser in recovery (i prefer twrp) and you will be all set. Open it once booted and disable Knox
