On oppostyle.com, their official site, they have the International for $499 for the 16gb variant, with all of the TMO hspa+bands. But on other sites around the net, like Negri, they have the Unlocked version, for $500 for the same capacity.
Is there a difference, or are people here getting from the official Oppo site and working straight away with TMO?
Lastly, I don't see any Rooting methods for this device in these forums, is the boot loader already unlocked?

International version is already Unlocked and with unlocked bootloader too, rooting is simple as just three steps.

I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

Hi,
I am looking to buy Galaxy Note 3 - LTE - International Version! The one with Snap 800. I believe its N95005 :S. I am in Canada. I will require AWS HSPA+ band , that is what my carrier uses, so from my research I Can flash any modems even the one from my carrier NOTE 3, to get the AWS band.
Anyone know a good website to get it from?? Any help is appreciate it!
Yup the SM-N9005 -
http://www.handtec.co.uk I believe will ship all across the world, may have to check to be sure though

Yeah they ship world wide , thank god for FedEX!
So, why is the Black version more expensive than the white version?
Also, this must be region locked, right? How would I be able to unlock the region thing?? Can I root this without voiding the Knox?? And I can flash any roms, modems via odin, there won't be this secure check fail , correct? Sorry, I just want to confirm it.
Thank you!

In regards to region lock, you may have to email them first - they sell some with the title "open box" ( to unlock region lock maybe?) - Or they may have US/CA variants also in stock.
You may be able to root it without voiding KNOX it depends what firmware version it ships with. But if you want to flash custom ROMS then you have to trip KNOX 0x1 - no way around that. But yes you can do it if you don't mind tripping 0x1.
I guess White this time round is the popular colour of choice. Everyone I know with a Note has White except me I have the Jet Black.

No, i don't want to buy US variant, thats the whole point in buying international lol. I can buy canadian variant, but it is over priced, plus i can't flash anything.
So, um, I can flash any TW roms and modems from any region/country on the SM-N9505??
Lol, White one appears to be cheaper
You can flash what you like on the N9005, as long as you don't mind tripping KNOX

The T-Mo US variant is unlocked except for carrier (which is unlockable by code) and I bought mine for $680, cheaper than the N9005's were going for on swappa where I got mine. It's N900T. You can flash N9005 ROMs except for the kernels and a patch to fix a few other things. I'm using such a ROM now which is why it's reporting as an N9005. See what you can get cheaper in your area and go with that. Avoid N900A (AT&T) since it has locked bootloader. There's also a Canadian variant that is similar to N900T with unlocked bootloader, might be the one you've referenced.

Yeah, I pretty much realized that Sam is screwing with customers big time. Worse than Apple.
So, regardin the region lock, I can assume the website you sent me is shipping updated firmware N95005, so I can't use region away app. Do you know any asian market website that can ship N95005 to Canada?

Lol, T-mobile stock rom is worse than anything. I had S3 from them, it was a pain dealing with their crap load because didn't really want to root and stuff back then. For Note 3, I don't want to flash custom roms right of way. Gonna try it out for 2 months before voiding warranty. So, I need to get N9008W-AWS version the Canadian, or International Note 3, where I can flash AWS band modem easily without tripping Knox.
t-mobile Note 3 isn't sold here, and I am not gonna buy it online from ebay cuz i end up paying $200 for custom duty tax. If you know a website that uses UPS/FedEx type of shipping for t-mobile , i might consider it .
Right now im trying to find N95005 that is brand new and not region locked or the region lock can be removed =| .
thank you for your help!! appreciate your inputs!
Btw, the Negri Electronics, is that a good website to buy phones?

Is that the international Galaxy Note 3 they are selling?? Is that region locked? It doesn't say on their description :S
Thanks!

Apparently they are OK from what I have read, haven't used them myself so can't personally comment.
In regards to region lock and updated firmware - we can never know what firmware/region lock (if any) is being shipped on devices until we get them - but with region lock, I'm gonna assume they won't send an EU model with EU lock on it to Canada? -

Negri have the N9005 listed - that is defo the INT model - shoot them an email to be 100% certain it is the N9500 they are selling, because we have seen it before where a site advertises a model number and it is wrong! - for your own peace of mind mainly -
I'm thinking of getting a 'fully unlocked' S5 from an auction site. The seller has AT&T (SMG-900A) and T-Mobile (SMG-900T) versions available. Which is best? How do they differ from the international version apart from the printed logo and some carrier specific apps? Can they both be rooted?
The T-Mobile version has more bands of LTE support in the US. I am on ATT, and I bought a T-Mobile S5 a few days ago. I am loving the phone so far, and plan on getting it fully rooted and unlocked shortly. The international version that is sold doesn't have LTE band support. Both the ATT and T-Mobile versions can be rooted.
After using the G900A with AT&T (twice lol) I decided to pick up T-Mobile's S5 last Friday. Already running a custom rom and kernel. Love it. Only wish LTE reception was better optimized for AT&T's band 17.

That's incorrect. the ATT version cannot be rooted as of right now and has a locked bootloader. Definitely go with the Tmobile version if you want rooting and flashing ROMS

Good luck with AT&T unlocking their bootloaders. We had AT&T up until recently and it was always a pipe dream to get an unlocked bootloader. Buy an unlocked model or get the TMobile version.
There are so many variants my head is spinning.
I just want to be able to go on eBay and buy a phone that I can use on AT&T and flash a ROM on it.
Sm-g950f or sm-g950fd if you want dual sim.

Is it worth waiting to see if the US unlocked version can be BL unlocked? Is the exynos better anyway?
Also what about the +? Is there a bootloader unlocked version of the SM-G950F ?
Just bought the G955F on eBay.

The only thing unlocked with the us unlocked phones is their ability to work on all carriers, nothing to do with bootloader locks. Exynos has an unlocked bootloader, so that makes it better i guess.

So have you got it? how's it working on AT&T? I am getting ready to buy one too.
Got it and it works flawlessly! I'm told I can't do video calling over the network or something like that but I don't use that anyway.
