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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Just wanted to ask: We should flash this AFTER completing the rooting methods? (Flash via ODIN the same way we did root etc..,) Sorry Im new to Samsung and rooting phones in general, but I do have experience with root/bootloader/etc.., on my tablet...
I see we refer to this as "MDK" Would that be the baseband version or build number? If I am already on Build#JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK and baseband# I545VRUAMDK, would I still need to flash this file to get back to "stock" w/ root? Just a little bit confused....

The provided build at the moment is a "Back to Stock" restore. I'm working on a pre-rooted version but AFAIK you'd have to have the bootloader unlocked in order to flash these. Being on Sprint I'm still a little confused on how that works - hopefully spending a little more time around the forums will help clear that up. (Thinking about getting one of these for the parents as a holiday gift - the lower end one they have seems to just be... substandard.)

This is a recovery flashable, stock boot.img, pulled from freeza's stock rooted rom, located here. It's completely unchanged from stock, I just made it flashable. After flashing, this will set secure storage to "true", in the build.prop. See freeza's thread here, for more info on this.
Use this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility.

Cool, glad it's helpful.
I hate to ask but I haven't seen one around. Is there a stock kernel that doesn't have storage_secure set to true? I flashed this and checked build prop and it says false but I couldn't delete or move anything. The reason I ask is I get constant reboots on any beast mode kernel I've tried and whenever I restore a back up I lose the ability to change anything on system or sdcard. This happens on any TW rom I use and using both cwm or twrp recoveries.

I was on beanstalk/ aosp. But this happens even if I go from toxic Swamp to odexed blue. My aosp backups run fine on a restore. It's just TW roms running the stock kernel. Seeing as beast mode is the only aftermarket kernel I don't have any other choices.

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I've read, the only fix for some, has been a complete wipe, including internal storage. Follow up with PC Odin-ing the TW tar. I assume you are trying to stay on MJ4?

I can fix it by flashing beast mode or doing a full wipe and re flash. I was just hoping there was a stock kernel with the storage unlocked that I could flash. Even a dirty flash of the rom doesn't fix it. Not a big deal, I'll just have to get over my flashaholism. Lol

I've read that the servers were overloaded, so they stopped the updates, and started rolling them out in stages. If what the 'internet' says is true, another 20% of users, will get the update Monday, and then another 20% sometimes after that.
If that's really the case, that probably explains why it says you're up to date (because you are up to date, based on what's available to you at that moment).

This tutorial is for people with A2 Bootloader only. If you are already on official KK with A3 bootloader, don't use this since it will fail.
A lot of people are wondering how to go back to JB roms from Kitkat. So here's a little guide of how to do that without downgrading back to MJ5.
Assuming you are already on Kitkat rom with root and Safestrap installed.
Please download this togetsafestrap first.
DOWNLOAD ME FIRST
Extract the togetsafestrap folder somewhere you can access easily. ( Credit to Drakey for togetsafestrap method)
**** First backup all the data especially your phone internal storage since everything will be deleted. *****
1. Download the JB rom of your choice and copy it to external SD card.
Skip step 2 & 3 if you are not on SafeStrap 3.7.2
2. Uninstall the SafeStrap recovery.
3. Delete/Uninstall the SafeStrap 3.7.2 apk.
4. Install the SafeStrap 3.71 and install the recovery. (please make sure it says installed.)
5. Put your phone into download mode by either press power, restart, download mode if your rom has 4 ways reboot OR power the phone down, load into download mode by holding volume down+Power+Home buttons for few secs.
6. Connect to the pc. (Make sure all the drivers and everything is configured correctly.)
7. Open Odin from the extracted togetsafestrap folder earlier. Your phone should show up as connected.
8. Put AP and BL from togetsafestrap and press start.
9. Once everything is done successfully, the phone will reboot.
10. Now you should see the Safestrap recovery splash screen and click recovery.
11. Now make sure you wipe everything. (Dalvik cache, cache, data, system under Advance)
12. Install the JB rom of your choice from your external SD card
13. Once the rom is successfully flashed, just reboot it normally and you will be back to JellyBean rom with fully working Safestrap.

Let me know if you have any questions.
All credit to Hash and Drakey.
Thanks to Conekiller for those who have trouble installing 3.71. Please try out the method he did and report back if it works same for you.
Conekiller2 said:
For those of you having the issue with safestrap 3.71 not installing the recovery here is the way i was able to do it.
Reinstall the 3.72 recovery
boot into safestrap recovery
wipe rom slot
flash (install) desired jb rom via safestrap
wipe cache/dalvik
go back to main menu
reboot and select download

If you guys want to argue, take it to PM.

Not flaming, not a "Hissy fit". Just making it known...
With latest version of SafeStrap this thread is pointless. Using Odin is no longer necessary.

So you're saying that I can use Odin to go from jellybean to KitKat and with the latest version of safestrap I can flash back to a jellybean Rom or restore a jellybean backup without the need of Odin?

You would still need the ap and bl file from jb to go from kk down to jb. So yes Odin is still needed. The guy above you is clueless lol

Thanks , I figured as much since we don't have an unlocked bootloader we can't just go back and forth just from recovery.

Thank you @mutantblack for your post. It's a great help. Now only if I could actually download the "notefire" rom, I could do this

Just people being people.
Anyways, OP, I suggest you change the title. This could confuse people to think you are talking about official KK.

You can only do mods , flash and restore backups of the same android version, if you're in jb with safestrap then you use it to do all of those, if you're in KitKat now with the update for safestrap you can do the same, but you need the comingfromjb.zip to upgrade to KitKat, and this method to go back to jb. You can use Odin for any mods as long is the same android base.

Well that depends on the mod, if is made in zip format then you use recovery in safestrap no matter what version of android you're using, I think only tar and pit files are flashed in Odin.

Yes , the process is due to the fact that since we don't have an unlocked bootloader the different bootloader and files like modem and have to be done in Odin, that's why the two step process to go back and forth. But yes I just finally upgraded to kk, just setting up right now, to get safestrap added. I've had a bunch of previous devices and all got unlocked bootloaders so this was a learning process for myself too, but once you learn it, is easy going back and forth.

Ok cool thanks for the info and I agree about locked bootloader first phone that doesn't have a unlock for it so just wanna sure I know everything before I do it and since knoxraid thread is closed and probably won't be updated anytime soon think it's time to go back to jb and has anyone tried this yet?

you mean you rebooted and the SS doesn't even show up?
If not, then just start back from putting in download mode and odin back again. You should get back into safestrap.

Try to avoid it because it will most likely have roll-back protection and also there isn't any root as of this moment.

Will this be like the official verizon release? How far you guys think the official OTA is now?

Interesting. It will be nice to be on 4.4 and use of the apps that only work with that version (or work better with it).

Yeaahhh baby!!! It's about damn time Verizon gives us something.
I definitely won't be flashing this, it isn't worth losing root for the changes in 4.4, it really isn't that much of an upgrade.

It's possible to get a pre-rooted system.img with SS, install it, immediately reboot into download mode, install boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), modem, bootloader images, etc... then reboot. S4 guys did it. It's completely feasible for us. I can provide instructions for you to do this, but it may be somewhat verbose.
If we as a community are interested in seeing further leaks, I'd advise against uploading any mirrors of these files. The uploader has requested exclusivity. This seems like a fair trade-off to me.
Hey guys
Please please please
For the sake of development.....do not mirror this file at all. The individual responsible for the file does not want any mirrors uploaded.
Thanks for understanding.

I thought we can only install roms with Safestrap. Not even a kernal. How can this be accomplished through SS. Just curious, I'm not a developer.

Convert system.img.ext4 to img, extract contents, apply su/ss, create TWRP zip, safestrap to system, reboot into download mode, flash everything else using Heimdall except original system.img.ext4 since it's not rooted.

You also need files from cache.img.ext4 that ultimately end up in /system.
Has kingo been successful with any of the other KK N3 variants?
