If only it was that easy...
I have tried several "one-click-root solutions" like kingoroot but they all fail.
Just follow this and you're good to go.
But to flash firmware you need Odin and a computer anyway.

Try these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233, stock at&t rooted without Knox (Believe me man, better without knox). But they are only leaks of the official firmware. I am not a professional developer so you might wanna create a new thread and ask if it's possible in you're situation.

okay i will look it up and see if it works , thanks.
The Canadian and US phones are pretty similar. Maybe a Canadian rom will work?

No it won't work. Since it is a stock rom it most likely will not work, he won't be able to call, text, or use data.

I wasn't sure if the OP could install some sort of stock firmware to get his phone going and then install the necessary radio.

The best choice for him is to stick to a custom rom until the AT&T 4.3 update releases.

Wow. it seems as if you got people in here just giving you ODIN TARS to flash. i wouldnt listen/ flash anything than the leaked 4.3 update for att because MOST odin files have bootloader upgrades in them and if you are on 4.3 you will brick trying to restore stock

Based on the OP, the phone is currently running Verizon's 4.1 which leads me to believe the bootloader has not been updated beyond 4.1.2 since recovery mode is accessible; therefore, I think flashing 4.11 or 4.1.2 stock roms would be fine.
As always, it's best to check the installed bootloader before proceeding with any more flashes.
I used the stock firmware from here to downgrade my Bell s3 from stock 4.1.2 to stock 4.1.1.

Quick Question about 4.3 AT&T In Download Mode (Bricked)

I have a Galaxy S3 AT&T i747 Variant, and it is hard bricked, can't even turn on.
if I am able to get my phone Unbricked and into download mode, what will I do from there?
I have the 4.3 Bootloader I believe.
I know there isn't any odin fw for this right now, but my question is can I use T-Mobiles 4.3 Odin file?
At least to re-root, and install CWM, and reinstall my bootloader & Correct rom?
Or will this just not work at all....?
Thanks, sorry for the annoying questions lol.
If you can get into download mode, you could try and install a custom recovery to install a custom ROM.
I don't recommend flashing a T-Mobile ROM because the hardware isn't the same.

If you use the T-Mobile Odin files you will absolutely need a jtag. You cannot flash bootloader for a different variant it equals jtag.

Hey, check out this post, its for T-MOBILE but if you get the requirements for the I747 and not the T999, this should work. Only way to do it without a Jtag, and that may not even work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367
Ive never done this or anything. I was just wondering because TMO has 4.3 odin files but nooooooo not AT&T
Thanks for all the replies, Ive tried every last debrick image at least 8 times, Im sending it off Thursday for a JTAG

[Q] Can anyone help me root new note2 on 4.3 without pc?

Once you have updated your phone with the official 4.3 update, you will never again be able to unlock your bootloader or flash custom firmware. You will, however, be able to root your phone and install odin flashable stock roms or rooted stock roms. You can do this with odin or mobile odin, but i cannot think of a way to do it without a pc, because even if you use mobile odin you will need to first to root it with saferoot i believe (which requires a PC if i remember correctly), and PC odin doesnt require root and you can use it to flash a pre-rooted image but it does require a PC.
If i were you id just spend 2 or 3 bucks and get an hour in a cyber cafe, installl saferoot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758&highlight=s3 and then download the image for your phones carrier and flash it in odin or mobile odin.

that is not exactly true. you can flash custom firmwares with 4.3 bootloader. but I don't think there is currently a way to root 4.3 without a pc.

[Q] Help Can't flash Stock rom different carrier.

Hi there. I have a very simple question. I bought an AT&T version Tab s 10.5. I have tried Googling all over the web for this issue but I can't find a solution. I am very new to flashing roms. I have done it in the past but that was much easier back then. Last time I flash a rom was on a Google G1. Anyway the model of AT&T Tab S is T807A. I am trying to flash the Tmobile stock rom T807T on this tablet. Is there anyway I can do it? Odin fails at NAND write. Please someone help me out. I don't want to flash a custom rom. Just replace the AT&T rom with T-Mobile Stock rom. Thank You.

Att locks it bootloaders. That means you can only flash firmwares from att only. Sadly you can't install Tmobile rom on att
So what about T-Mobile? Is it's bootloader locked too? So I won't be able to install Custom FW on my AT&T Tab?
That means you can only flash att firmware on your att tab s. And Tmobile firmware only on a Tmobile device. You can install a custom FW on att tab for now
Gotcha. Thank You so much for your help. I am not so good with installing custom rom any guide you can reccommend. A forum sticky or post I should read where it tells me how I can install firmware. I don't care about the Knox warranty.
Made a big mistake tried to root the device realize couldn't. Now I am getting the error about device needing to connect to Kies 3 to fix firmware. Unfortunately Kies does not support this AT&T device so I am out of luck. Any idea or anyone know if I can find AT&T stock firmware and just flash it with Odin? Thank You

Try factory reseting in recovery. If that doesn't work then your out of luck there's no firmware for att. Sorry
Just go into recovery and wipe the cache. Factory reset will probably do it too.
