No need to do anything.
Just root as normal.

Hi,
May I suggest one of THESE ROMS
They are pre-rooted ROMS which are basically de-bloated stock ROMS.
People from all over EU have been flashing these.
You can then, think about adding custom recoveries and maybe other custom ROMS after that.

If you are on the 4.3 bootloader, you can just use the hlte/9005 ROMs without issues.

Hey Thanks for your revert.
I am using this S4 in India on Android Version 4.2.2 with SIM Unlocked. My main concern is phone should remain SIM unlocked after flashing any Lollipop Modem. But I suspect that, it would get locked after flashing latest modem. I have seen that Galaxy Tool apk has the ability to unlock the phone on Lollipop but it has been posted in the forum for Note 3. So Little bit confused whether it will work or not
So I need your help with detailed explanation how did you do that ?
Can you please provide solution step by step ?

[Q] Can I flash US ROM onto SK Telecom Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900S)?

Hi folks,
I bought a Galaxy Note 3 from SK Telecom (Korea), model number SM-N900S. I figured out how to change the language to English, but I'm a little uneasy about the ungodly number of pre-installed apps and services on there. I can't be sure that the thing isn't spying on me when there is a "Remote Device Management" app that can't be turned off (!!)
Can I flash it with a US ROM, or does it have to be a SKT ROM? If US ROM is OK, which model for the firmware should I be looking at?
Thanks!

You can't. You can only use ROMs built for N900S (SK Telecom) and N900K (Korea Telecom).

Ok, thanks. Can I do a custom ROM (like the "Galaxy S5 Stock ROM v20.0" that was just released even though it says "N9005")?

I actually had luck by replacing the boot.img in the S5 rom with a SKT boot.img from the latest stock rom. Is there any disadvantage to this method?

i like MOTO

u can.
yep u can
juz replace boot.img or flash custom kernel port for note 3 Korea.
I use 9005 custom rom for note 3 900S normally.

OK great. That's what worked for me, I can't understand why it took 3 days of searching to find that answer!
Typing this from my N900S with a custom S5 rom!

You could although its not recommended and no i dont mean this for all roms. just some roms. sometimes the radio will refuse to work and it will wipe ur external SDcard. you might want to pick out a rom and look for ur specific model in that rom section to see if anyone has gave it a go.

Umm, no. You can't flash an N900 ROM to an N9005 or vice versa, I don't think so.
As per what ROM you should use, well you can't ask for that type of queries here, goes against some rule of XDA.
My favourite and recommendation will always be stock ROMs though, and if you really have an urge to try custom ROMs then choose stock based ones at least.

about rom
a lot of people they update to the echoe rom v22 with that model
give it a try
