I am thinking of getting this phone but the dev edition. I believe the regular note 3 is sm-900V, what is the dev edition model number? Also, the dev edition is fully unlocked (bootloader) to do as pleased with rom, kernels, recoveries etc....It hard to see what is what looking thro some of these threads and what not, hoping someone could just verify in a few sentences. Thanks

Model number is the same as retail. i.e. SM-N900V. Yes, bootloader is fully unlocked. You can flash custom recovery, flash kernels or anything else your heart desires.

Hello everyone, I just get ATT galaxy S4, It is so fancy, but ATT's craps sucks.
Does ATT S4's bootloader already been hack by XDAs?
If so, how to unlock it?
I just have the TWRP installed in my ATT galaxy S4, could I flash customized ROM and customized kernel now? Or I have to wait until the bootloader is unlock?

I highly suggest you read...read...and read again
To start you off in the right direction though, read up on Loki as that is our bootloader bypass method...basically anything that has been lokid can be flashed...
But seriously read!!! Don't want to waste a headache and trouble shooting on a soft brick

The Loki thing still has me confused and curious what folks think... I've been through many of flashes and had good and bad issues over the years but unsure how I feel about flashing up a ATT S4. I've been leaning towards getting a Tmobile S4 with a unlocked bootloader and getting that unlocked since I feel like it will be a bit more bulletproof. Is that paranoia or is Loki close enough to a unlocked bootloader that I can basically do everything with as little risk as would be expected with normal device flashing?

THIS INFO IS EVERYWHERE! READ MAN. useless thread here serious.
hey there bud, sorry everyone feels the need to repeatedly tell you to search instead of ending the thread with an explanation. im also sorry everyone else feels like this information is readily available, when its the furthest from that. you will require some digging and deduction skills to acquire all the information needed to fully utilize the loki function.
Since att took it upon themselves to lock the bootloader, the kernel has to be properly provisioned before it will allow it to boot (if the kernel is not set up correctly, you will receive an error about unapproved software on the device and will have to restore sans odin....yuck), so our awesome drjbliss and the infamous adamoutlers have provided a tool called "loki" which will allow bypassing of the locked bootloader and allow us to run the custom firmware.
please ensure that whatever ROM you are running has been previously provisioned with loki, or you are flashing a custom kernel that has loki baked in. Alternatively, there is an auto loki tool floating around called "loki doki" that can be flashed after any ROM to pre-loki it before boot.
You can PM me with any specific questions, and all you trolls should learn to help instead of complaining. In the amount of posts it took to complain about the OP not searching, it would have only taken one post to clarify and then this thread would have simply got buried.

Loki is close enough to an unlocked bootloader, no worries my friend. Flash away and enjoy!
So, if my phone is unlocked and rooted, do I still need to unlock the bootloader?

What? You can't unlock the bootloader. The i337 never had and never will have a bootloader that can be unlocked

Been doing fine jd, thanks. Hope you are too.
Yes, I really like it. Not gonna Jailbreak, but my bank just started accepting Apple Pay. So, going to play with it. Something for an old man to have fun with.
It's just picking up steam as far as number of merchants, so ordered and will mess with the LoopPay FOB where AP isn't used yet. A year ago I would have sworn I would never use this techy stuff for banking. Must be getting soft.
So, Was not in the market for a new phone, stopped into at&t, great salesman added a tablet line and set me up with the phone for the contract price plus 10$ a month. good deal.
I Love this phone!! but as I'm moving from apple, want to be able to have absolutely full control over it including custom roms.
From what I'm reading I have the model (900A) which has the bootloader locked.
I am going to order another Note 3 right now and sell this one. What model is Best and will be fully customizable?
I'm sure this has been covered a thousand times. Please simplify this process for me as I continue to research. Thanks!
The one on ebay I'm considering is entitled:
New Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Quad-Core 5.7'' 13MP 4G LTE 32GB Black Phone
It doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked... You can still customise till your heart content. .. my bootloader is locked. .. hadn't speed me.
To be fair. . There seems more roms available for the n9005 but I'm sure with time they will all get lots of development done

You can load custom roms with a locked bootloader? forgive me, I'm learning as I go
So if I have the 900a.. if I root it am I able to change the color themes etc throughout the system and modify it fully or should I go with the 9005?
If your rooted you are able to change just about everything.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Once you root it and put a custom recovery like cwm or twrp... Flash what you like lol
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
So what specifically are the disadvantages of the 900A vs the 9005?
Thanks for all the help!
Until you root and put in a new ROM the only difference is the ATT bloatware. I know becuase I also have a 900A and have two pages of Apps from ATT that I never will use and can't rid of. In a nut shell the 900A is just ATT variant of the 900.
If you want to see all the difference between the 900A and the 9005 head over to gsmarena and compare the 2.

What can you do with a bootloader that you can't do with a locked bootloader?
Will I be better off with a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
Explain it to me like I'm a child. Like I said earlier, am moving from apple so it's all new to me.
I don't want to get deep into it and realize I need an unlocked bootloader to do what I want to do.
If it is a non issue tell me why.
Thanks for the help.

With a locked bootloader you can still root, but if you try to flash a recovery/kernel/etc the bootloader will refuse to boot it because it is unsigned. That means no recovery, no kernels, no ROMs...only stock ROM tweaking. The N900A, N9005, N900T, and a few other models are all essentially the same phone with different bootloaders, modems, and stock ROMs. I'd recommend the N900T (T-Mobile) which has all the bands needed for AT&T LTE ready to use after you get it unlocked. The N9005 (international Qualcomm) version lacks the LTE bands for AT&T/T-Mobile I think but you might be able to flash a T-Mo or AT&T modem file to enable them as I think the hardware is actually the same inside.

Hi
I have Note 3 SM-N900v that belongs to my friend. He wants to change it to stock international rom that will have Russian interface.
Long story short, he wants to get rid of all Verizon stuff and make it stock.
How can I do it ?
I have experience with flashing but just wanted some advice from people with this device.
Thank you.

You can't, the Verizon Note 3 has a locked bootloader (that can not currently be unlocked) and you can only use one of the few ROMs that are available here.

Thank you for the info. Understood.
Could we get a mod to create a Sticky with all variants of the Note 4 and their current status as far as boot loader, rooting, and other information? Since it used to be "Verizon variant, sprint"..... And now it's one big garbled mess. It's hard to follow what thread is for what phone with X processor and whether or not i can actually custom rom my phone now. Doubtful since the note 4 is basically fubar with Verizon / att. (My understanding?!?). A simple list would be nice
Can anybody help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3262283

I can't bring myself to pay $500+ anymore for a phone so I'm going to "upgrade" my galaxy nexus finally. I was going to purchase an S6, however it was brought to my attention that it can't be rooted!! Therefore I'm going to get the s5. What ROM's are currently still updated? Also, which do you recommend? Even if nothing is updated anymore I'd still buy this phone but would like to run a custom ROM.
Depends: Please give us the first 2 numbers of your CID. You can get them via "eMMC Brickbug Check" on the play store.
DO NOT post the whole CID, just the first 2 numbers. It should either be 11 or 15.
If you have a Samsung eMMC cm13 is a nightly aka beta rom that is pretty mature also try resurrection remix for kltevzw
If you have a Toshiba eMMC I like jrkruses PB1 deodexed rooted deknoxed debloated rom this is a rock steady rom this rom also has optional tweaks in a prop file you can edit before you flash.
Thanks. It arrives by Friday and I'll post here when I get it.

Hey now wait a minute....I tried king root and wasn't able to install that. Then I tried one click root and was notified that my device can't be rooted. Any idea what gives?
To root go to jrkruse ok3 root thread on s5 Verizon forum on xda it is a sticky or search xda for ok3 root thread.
Then go to getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread for s5 Verizon on xda under s5 Verizon forum

Now back to the original question. Which ROM do you recommend? It sounds like I have to be sure to use one for my CID
Yes do you have a Samsung 15 Emmc Orr Toshiba 11 Emmc don't post the whole cid just the first two numbers
