Ok I just got the Note 3 today. I been searching the web for info on rooting and installing a custom rum. I love cm roms. I owned the gs3 and had cm10 and loved the pure google experience.

I searched around and getting mixed into here and there. I dont care about tripping knox. I just want ride of touch wize and want my CM11. Please clarify for me please. thanks
Impossible at this time. Yes, we have locked bootloaders.
There is an everything you need to know guide right in the same section you posted in... It will explain in detail and provide links of what you can do. As of right now, we can only do custom TW ROMs. We may never have anything else.
And just a reminder, questions go in the QA section.

I wanted to unroot and go to complete stock is there a zip or tar file or any method that will allow me to do so? Or if not whats the most stable 4.2.2 ROM out for the nexus 7? Not the 3g version ..

Is there something wrong with the sticky thread up there right at the top of this forum?
[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock
It may have been written in September, so there are new (4.2.2/JDQ39) factory images out now, but the method is essentiallly identical.
As a matter of fact, inside the factory .tgz file, there are scripts which show you exactly what the process is (flash-all.sh, flash-all.bat).
If you have previously flashed the 4.18 bootloader (and have an unlocked bootloader) you can skip those steps.
Go to the Google developers website and flash a factory image for whatever number your Nexus 7 is.
Alternatively I recommend Carbon ROM which is AOSP

Careful with smart remarks like that. Yiure basically saying yiur tok lazy and want to be spoon fed instead of searching and learning like the rest of us. Perhaps if you took 2 seconds to open your root toolkit youd see theres an unroot button. For future reference taje the time to search hard and if you dont find it the its ok to post a thread but be warned thay the mods will shut you down and people will flame you hard. Taking the time to search and learning is much more gratifying thwn the lazy way. And youd be amazed at all the helpful things youll find and learn
Btw the solution for un rooting I gave to you was just served on a dirty silver spoon for you!

I have searched. and I explained what I've found. I also asked a specific question about rooting my phone, the specific phone I have (MDM i9505). I haven't found any solutions so far. I have been checking the forums on a daily basis more than once in recent days. you two above this post could not be less helpful. You tell me to search, when I have. If there is a root for my phone, why didn't you point me in the right direction? or is it easier to make fun of people when you don't have an answer? thanks for nothing.
Im on MDM and rooted.

@muhamet, I have a question, those are rooted roms, not just rooted kernel. I have seen those. Will that mean I will loose all my apps etc? thanks both.
edit: one more question. do I have to root to install custom roms in the future? The only reason I am looking to root is to be able to install roms when I decide which one I want to run. Or do roms come with rooted kernels and all I have to do is flash them via recovery? thanks.

Actually - the guy has a very legit question so before you flame him !
I have been in these forums for years and i can honestly say this S4 thread is one of the most mixed up in here !
These rooting questions NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER, Especially for lots of new people coming in.
Dedicated Thread only for Root I9505 And which root method works - you look around and its in original dev and Android Dev.
Same for I9500 !
Then there is stock / hybrid / custom roms, Pre rooted so no wonder these questions get asked !
Root should only be in one Forum thread for each device and not mixed !
Now im fortunate enough to know what im doing ! but there is going to be so many repeat questions asked in here that its asking for trouble and bricked devices.
It really does need cleaning up.
thx

Completely agree as a s2 root newbie I've started to learn the ropes a bit more running custom roms on the s3 for the past year or so. The issue of two different phone models in the same area is bound to cause confusion. I have to check twice, I've loaded up the i9500 development section before not paying attention thinking it was i9505 lol.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
thing is, I used ODIN to root my s2 and put recovery on it some 2 years ago, after that it was a case of downloading .zip files (roms) and flashing them via recovery so I have forgotten quite a few things about rooting etc since 2011. but hey, I'm ready now... waiting for a nice rom to come.
I jumped in and got a contract straight away on the s4 from the s3. I don't mind. I got a good deal. But in hindsight I'm going to wait a good few months for any others devices. I'll see this out on its 24 month contract by then god knows what will be out there. Hopefully some custom kernels with voltage control will be released too. Finding crackling through headphones atm.

Ok, so after rooting, recovery doesn't load anymore. Phone just boots normally. Any ideas?
Does anyone know of such a ROM that I can have root, download, deodex, and debloat (but no mods) for the SGH-I337? I'd like to run a pure stock rooted ROM without bloat. I do not want the modded (black) apps with the messaging and etc. Just the full on debloated stock experience with root privileges. No, I do not want a competition with whatever ROM is best as I do not intend to start an argument about it. So, in that case, does anyone have suggestions or the link to another XDA thread? Also, please make sure that it's latest stock for AT&T. Thanks everyone!

Ya could try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364635 however how you flash it will depend on what firmware your running now. If your mdf then refer to the safestrap threads for proper flsshing procedures and if yur mdl then follow loki directions. Hope this helps

I've been using MDOB for a month or so and it is great. Great battery life, smooth, debloated stock, excellent support -- a great ROM. -- Bud
Let me tell ya I have owned hd2, gs2, gs3, gs4, nexus s , nexus 4,atrix hd,transformer 300tf, galaxy tab 2 7.0 galaxy tab 2 10.1, nexus 7, note 2 ,note 10.1, and note 8.0.
I always go for stock based ROMs for stability. For I instal tons of apps that I get issues one after another on custom. I try ROMs after another update after another. This was like a routine which could be enjoyable but annoying sometimes for ur times limited.
With I337, I tried one ROM and I felt no need or urge to flash or even try another. I just could not find flaws or problem with this one.
Which ROM is this?
MDOB!
Bloat free based on stock and has all features I need. Give it a try. Make sure u follow devs guide on installation though for best possible experience!

Thank you so much BTW, should've thanked you sooner. Flashed MDOB and have been running it for about four days now. Very stable, has those white stock apps, and is absolutely amazing while also running stock kernel. Thanks so much!

I am so glad it has been working great for ya. I really wish other android devices that I use also had ROMs like MDOB.
Those add-ons listed on devs post for MDOB also work great as well for they are usually stock/hidden features. For example, torch light is from hidden stock menu and addon will unlock and enable it for you. Addon like in call recording is not an external third party app but it is like unlocking call recording menu within the stock dial/call pad which comes in very handy and convenient. If you have questions then the dev will try to help you promptly. I had minor issues but it was because I did not know how to use the features on ROM correctly. Of coarse the dev tried to help me find solutions along the way. He' s just a great guy and I feel lucky to have him here on gs4 community.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356276
Was about to post same question!
Hi there,
Thanks for this thread and the answers. I was searching for exactly this topic.
I would like to try the MDOB ROM, as it sounds like what I am looking for.
The current MDOB ROM is based on the *MF3 firmware. Is this an issue? I am reading about the AT&T bootloader lock and loki fix that was added in to MF3, plus other custom ROMs that list either a broken sound or broken Wi-Fi as a known issue with MF3.
Are these issues fixed in this ROM (and how?) I don't want to loose TWRP and/or WiFi.
Thanks for any clarification,
Gemini420
MDOB is based on the lastest stock MF3 however it would not give u problems that you would face from updating to notorious MF3 stock.
If I am not mistaken you are supposed to have UCUAMDL stock rooted with custom recovery twrp (preferably i337 version listed on the MDOB page) prior to flashing MDOB.
Check out installation or flashing instruction on the MDOB for more info. The dev points to several things you should watch out for. I just followed the guide and my phone has been running pefectly ever since. Well I wish u Good luck.
Edit: Though I never had any issues with custom recovery and wifi, you might wanna ask there and see if such issues exist on MDOB.

If you look in the MDOB thread you can flash philz recovery. It's like a super CWM recovery...kinda..sorta lol. That's what iB4STiD recommends.
I just rooted my AT&T galaxy S4 mk2 build and now i cant find a recovery for it anywhere. Do i just need to wait or is there something already out??Please help i haven't rooted a phone in 3 years and i'm just now getting back into it.
Go into the development section and get Safestrap. That's the only thing you can use, no true custom recovery. Make sure you read through the first pages of the thread and maybe some of the Q/A thread before doing anything.

Hi,
so I'm brand new to rooting and this forum. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 on the network 3 running 4.3.
I did a bit of reading up on rooting and discovered a few things I'd like to play about with on the device, battery life etc. I rooted using the Chainfire root here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803). I don't fully understand what ROMs and Kernels are. Would someone be able to explain in simple words for my noob brain?
Also, where do I go from here now that I have rooted? As in what can I do to customize my phone with these 'ROMs' and 'Kernels'?
I know I should have done more research before rooting but its too late now.
Also I apologise if I posted this in the wrong forum and any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Google.com is the answer.
A little to get you started...
You need to flash a custom recovery like CWM Philz or TWRP, From there you download a custom rom, yoy look for something in ur device thread for them. You choose what u like and try them all to see what suits you best.
Flashing custom roms instructions are in that specified rom thread follow them.
As for kernels as far I know they used for tweaks, OC, UV, battery optimization, touch, etc.
Try at your own risk.
