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.

[Q] flashing roms with odin?

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.

Unlock?

I rooted yesterday and applied greenify today. When I rebooted after applying the module I had an unlocked lock on boot. What does this mean? I didn't have a lock on that screen previously.

It basically just means that the stock firmware has been modified I believe.

if you disable KLMS Agent, it will trip the custom software. re-enabling it brings it back to official.

any change to build.prop will trigger that open lock and "custom" on the first Samsung screen

Thanks all, everything seems to be running fine so I'm not overly concerned, it was just an obvious difference.

It tells how you can update your firmware. Since you're rooted the ota probably won't work

But what about sim unlock or any good custom you can recommend

How can I install a custom recovery on n9005 stock without using a PC?

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Need root. To root without a pc try towel root. Not sure if any other work. After root seach in twrp page how to flash recovery using terminal emulator

"This phone isn't currently supported" - Towel root
I think Tr supports only Exynos Note 3... not n9005. I also tried Framaroot and that didn't work also.

You need a pc for root

Well I don't have a PC. There should be a PC-free way...

Then you go ahead and make one, buddy. I'm sure the community will thank you for it.

If I knew how to make it I wouldn't be standing here asking these questions.
