I am on att and want to buy S4 . But the new phones that are being given out seems to be booloader locked. I want a device that I can install roms of my choice.
Can some one answer some of the questions I have, please ?
1- Is s4 fully compatible with ATT Lte bands ? ( Seems there are few mods to be done to get it right. Am I right ? )
2- Are ASOP based S4 roms for international version compatible with S4 GE ?
3-Are TW based S4 roms for international version compatible with S4 GE ?
4- Or Can I find an ATT version that is bootloader unlocked ?
Thanks

I can only answer 1 and 2. Works fine with ATT. There is no bootloader unlock for the ATT S4, however, if you can find one with MBD or MDL firmware you can bypass it with Loki to install custom ROMs.

Bootloader Unlocked Version
To answer #4, there is a developer version available from AT&T. Outright price as is G-i9505G.
It will have Touchwiz and all Samsung bloatware where GE version has what appears (UI) to be AOSP and is already on 4.3.

Can anyone tell me if the Galaxy S5 Verizon developer edition will be able to take general GS5 ROMs (AOKP, Omni, CM) and:
1. Still work on Verizon network?
2. Remain unlocked?
Thanks!
Flashing a rom will not somehow lock the bootloader. I'm pretty sure they'll need to be ported to Verizon to work fully.

Are there any Custom Roms available for the Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V? If not, are there going to be any coming out in the near future?
I see the Verizon version of the note 3 has a locked bootloader. Which Note 3 is not? Or is there one that dont have a locked bootloader. I know the ones that have locked bootloaders dont allow cyanogenmod, or AOSPs. Im a fan of cyanogen so is there any Note models that you can get these ROMS on. I live in the USA. I would need one that can be placed on Page Plus Network. Thats what I'm currently using for wireless service. I would kind of like for it to be a Note 3. i like that phone.
The international version of Note 3, SM-N9005, is the one with unlocked bootloader. I have no idea whether it will work in your country or not, it works absolutely fine in my place though.
Also the tmobile version does not have a locked bootloader. SM-N900T

thanks
thanks for the help
SM-N9005
go for note 3 N9005. I have experienced best flashing it and also a powerful device it is
I would love to install KK 4.4.4 from sprint on my international N9005. Is this possible?
I'm not talking about an note 4 port or something that could be more than buggy. I currently use inofficial CM12, so my bootloader is unlocked and knox is tripped anyways. I wouldn't mind if LTE doesn't work because it's not supported on my carrier plan, but I would highly appreciate a rom that's more stable than the cm nightly builds that I used for the last 3-4 months.
Hi u can install the tmobile version of sprint 4.4.4 that is located in tmobile android development. Its by Allenjthomsen. And also use the sprint 4.4.4 kernel which is avalaible there.
Hi,
I'm looking purchase and root the GN3 N9005 International Version (I'm in the Caribbean) and I would like to know if there was an option where I could have multiple Roms installed and I choose whichever one I wanted at any point in time. I see that there is safestrap but based on what I read it seem that its only on variant models(Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T) would SafeStrap allow me to do this?
Please advise.
Thanks
I know that a phone with a locked bootloader can only flash Touch-Wiz based ROMs, but can I use ROMs that are made for a different model, like the i9505? (I seriously regret updating to Lollipop. My mom has an unlocked phone, but, it's hers... Guess I will have to buy a Nexus 6).
