Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.

Well I made a backup with that carbon app and I'm gonna download the apps probably tomorrow to see if it works. Thanks for the link. Also I went a head and unlocked the bootloader and all that other good stuff.

Okay so I'm currently rooted on stock rom. I just want to know if there's any way that I can start flashing ROMs by using any recovery. At the moment I just keep seeing there's no recovery available for mf3 baseband.. I really want to take advantage of this phone with mods.. Please help

If I root it and use chainfires cf auto root or w.e thru Odin to install a recovery will he be good to go...will it unlock the bootloader or will I send it into a security error by flashing clockwork
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You will most likely brick it. Use Hash code's safestrap in development section
With safestrap tho can't you only flash stock ROMs?

Correct, our VZW specific Note 3 has a locked bootloader so we can't modify it aside from the stock .tar file via Odin
You want to use this method to apply the MJE update before doing anything else
Then root via Kingo, have to google it
Then install Safestrap, open it, select install recovery
Profit
Lol good luck let us know if you run into issues it's not too rough
OK thanks..man that sucks that the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet

If he wants the full root experience, at this time his best option might be to return the phone for something else if he is within his 14-day period.
I'm not sure what else though ... The N3 is a great device. My understanding is that the camera on the HTC One isn't great, and I'm not sure what the root situation on the LG device is, nor how much developer love it will get over time.
Maybe he should leave Big Red for a different carrier... making sure they know exactly why on the way out the door.
Haha yeah thats what i said I have T-Mobile s4 and had mine hacked in 5 mins with a custom ROM on it

Running Beans Build 6 with a custom launcher with Wanam Xposed Framework mods and it's not bad at all. I'm sure he'd be happy with that.

So my friend has a galaxy s4 that he wants to root, custom recovery, roms.. Etc. So I was wondering where to start? I Have done this to a galaxy note 1. And I know Odin is needed but just would like help with the process for the s4, and possibly links to find what I need. Basically I will be helping with root and flashing a recovery. I know Samsung phones already have a unlocked bootloader. Any help will be thanked!

Everything depends on the current firmware on the phone.

It depends on what firmware you're currently on. The s4 is not an easy device to root and rom and the roms available to you are only touch wiz based. You might want to consider not messing with your friends phone.

Hello experts I have a question can I have two custom recoveries on my note 3 at the same time? A friend of mine has 3 recoveries on his xperia z1!
Sent from my SGPT12 using XDA Free mobile app
It's possible, but why? I don't see what the point of this would be.
What would you use the 2nd recovery for? Or even the 3rd.

I love Cwm but for some roms I need twrp and I would like to have both
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
TWRP is best and in active development. Hate it and be happy. Or is it Philz recovery that combin cwm and twrp, but not in development if im not wrong?:S As said best bet is TWRP .
So there isnt any method to have both

No you can't put them together yourself unless you are a developer who knows how to do. Never heard of it.
Ok thank you
