Hey all. I'm new to the forums and its been quite some time since i've owned an Android device. I've worked for Apple for a few years and recently decided to switch back to Android. At this point I'm re-familiarizing myself with the OS.
I used to be VERY involved with the "Jailbreak community" when I had my iOS device. And now I want to get to the same point I was regarding knowledge. First thing is to get this Note 3 "rooted" so I can do what I want with MY device.
Specs for my device:
Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Baseband version: N900AUCUBMI9
At this point I really don't know what other information is needed to find what I need to make sure my "root" process is smooth. And yes, I have already searched the forum for both of those numbers above and found nothing. I guess the fact that it was released yesterday makes for nothing at this point. Please, anything would help my cause.
Thanks to everyone for your help in advance.

Well hello first I'm new here I was an iPhone user so I'm having problems with the whole OS that is Android I don't understand anything here, I bought a Galaxy S4 (M919) from T-Mobile cause I wanted to try something different and I tought the Galaxy S4 was the right choice for me, I don't want to regret switching to Android mainly because almost all the apps I used on my iPhone are not on Android I have looked so much for like tweaks or stuff like that that I used to do on my iPhone with cydia but I can't find anything, almost all the themes I find are so ugly well I come here to find help and make understand all the capabilitites of Android.
So I bought my phone from T-Mobile paid full price for it to get it unlocked unfortunately they haven't helped at all with unlocking it, I found a guide here that was dialing a number to go on service mode and change some settings I have tried this method so many times and it hasn't worked I even accidentally deleted the backup on the last step, I'm so lost I would appreciate some help on this matter.
I have been looking for ROMs mainly to help on battery life and movings app to my sd card any recommendations on which ROM should I pick and some guide on how to install it.
Any help intoducing me on the Android OS would be gladly appreciated and thanks for reading this.
Hi everyone! I need help with my phone model Lenovo a820t.
I want to explain some issues of my phone before make the question.
I bought it 5 days ago in Aliexpress and when I received it I saw that didn't seems like a Lenovo phone, at least doesn't appears the logo neither back or front of the case. I think only the seller put a rom of lenovo inside the phone.
When I saw the features in settings/phone information, it says that is an eight core mtk6592 kernel and I don't see any a820t with mtk6592, every devices I saw are mtk6589.
From here, i've gone crazy looking for a ROM for my phone. I saw many threads but all of them are from months ago and anyone tell nothing about a good and stable rom for this model, everything are problems and nothing reliable.
Anyone knows some site where I can find a rom for this model (lenovo a820T) or anything that could help me please? I'm desperate!!:crying::crying:
I hope you can understand my question.
Of course, thanks for every response, I follow this forum since my first android mobile and there's no site with more information than this to learn.!

Good morning XDA Community! I have been out of the community for a long time because of school, so you will have to excuse me for being a bit rusty. Recently, I have purchased a new phone, just waiting for it to come in the mail. Once I get that phone, I was going to hand my Note 3 over to my Father. My question though, is after rooting it and flashing a ROM, I do not seem to remember the appropriate way to restore it back to its original state so I can give it to my Dad. I am on Android Version: 4.2, Build: JasmineROM v2.4.1. I understand that this may be an easy fix for some, but I really don't remember much about all of this from my long time away. I would really be grateful if someone could write me through the process so I don't harm my phone. Thank you all for your time, and have a great day!
Hey guys,
first of all I want to mention that I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I do or did anything wrong . Second I want to tell you a few things about me and my device so it's easier for you to provide efficient troubleshoot. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - N910F for since it's release so about close to 3 years now. I'm familiar with simple things like like rooting the smartphone or creating backups and stuff like that, but I'm sure I will be able to perform some harder things too since I'm working in the technical support team of Apple but since there is a huge difference between iOS and Android I would say I'm a noob here .
I already searched for a solution using google and the search function of xda but couldn't find anything so I thought it would be best to create a thread myself.
What I want to do is delete the OS of my smartphone entirely and download the original or maybe a custom OS (I don't mind) and install it on my phone. I want to do this because I think my phone got old and doesnt perform so well anymore in many points, also the battery consumption got higher with time.
Thank you in advance!
Try do a factory reset first. If it doesn't work then, download the latest ROM for your version of Note4. Odin it to your phone.
Hello good people of XDA,
I come again, seeking assistance from the knowledge y'all have acquired with rooting and "fixing" android devices.
This time, my adventures have landed me in a position of owning a Galaxy Tab4 8" model SM-t330nu. And I purchased it with
the intent of rooting it and playing with different custom roms, and making it function better as I know Samsung devices are full of bloatware.
I was able to purchase the tablet relatively inexpensive, but soon found it to be super laggy and slow, though I do not know the issue, unless it's to do with the age of the device being 5 years old. I have traversed through the pages of the Tab and have learned that it is not much supported in terms of custom firmware, and not even TWRP is available for it. This made me sad.
The last time I had rooted a device was quite some time ago, so I have forgotten a lot of the processes. If it would not be too much, can someone guide me in the direction of an available rom as well as a custom recovery so that I may flash my rom. And since I have become rusty, if there exists a step by step guide? I am really good at those
Thank you all for reading
Is there anyone willing to take a shot?
