Galaxy Note 3 worth it? (Help) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellas, Im thinking on selling my xperia z1 and for 30 bucks ill get a new Galaxy Note 3 LTE version, so... what do you guys think?
I have root on my Z1 and I love that, viper4Android, xposed framework, etc(I cant get on custom rom because of locked bootloader, thats the bad part). So my question is: Is there any good custom rom for note3? I wanted ihackers for Z1. Can I root the Note3? there is locked and unlocked bootloader for Galaxys to?
Help me guys, I need to have my desicion in two hours it is worth the change? also i have an aluminum bumper for the Z1 theres is not cases for this cellphone on my country, I love the Neo Hybrid for Galaxys, that is a case that I can buy here.
Also the Z1 is going to be cheaper when the Z2 comes out, theres better chances to sell on a higher price the Note3 later if I want another phone.
Thanks for the time guys! Sorry for Bad english.

There are heaps of roms for the Note 3 However, you will trip Knox warranty void by rooting your Samsung device. Google Knox for more info.

If you where able to handle Flashtool, you will also be able to use Odin, just take care to flash the right Stuff for your Device (There're more than just one Note3 out there!)
I played a lot around with my N3, since Day 2 (First Day was to proof the Device, because of KnoX) and it's definitely hard to Brick. First and one of the MUSTS > save the ESF Partition!
I used an Xperia Z (Honami themed) some days ago and i guess you probably will hate the TouchWiz Ui It's an switch from one of the nicest Android UI's to definitely the ugliest , but the Note3 is an Beast compared to the actual Z Series (Z2 not included).
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005

You're saying the international N9005, just make sure it's not from HongKong as there is a 16gb variant from there that doesn't play nice. Also the N9005 is probably the most developed for. The Exynos variants, while coming with an 8 core cpu, are considered great, they are harder to dev for and have a tendency to get hot.
There is no discernible difference in speed so having an octa core is really for die hard fans or those that can't get the 4g/LTE variants.
The only other thing to really look at is The bands that are used, North Amerca has different LTE bands from the rest of the world so you might need to do some research there.
Oh, and make sure BEFORE flashing reactivation lock is off in security settings....
Last thing, Bricking your device to a true brick is REALLY hard with this forum here. However, its not gonna be spoon fed to you. You need to do some research, if you have a question you need to supply information. If people see you have done some legwork and still got stuck and have the info they need they are a lot more helpful than if a post of "Bricked my Note 3 while flashing, HELP!!!!" comes up....
Cheers...

Thank you, Im searching for info before I root and install a Custom rom, at this point I think that Root with a 4.2.2 stock rom would be good, thanks to xposed framework.
Yeah I live in Mexico, so i must look for that variant, is there any way to not trip knox? Im on JB 4.3 can I root and flash a stock 4.2.2(without bloatware)?
Thanks for you help and time!

Not sure about mexican Note 3's but if the firmware was below MJ3 on international N9005 you could use URDLV, do a search and you'll find it, to root without triggering Knox...

[Q] root and warranty

I decided a few months to buy the Galaxy S5 and now wonder if I should start doing experiments with my S4 with root, Knox and custom ROMs
My phone is currently an official firmware .4.4.2
What do you think is it worth to ignore warranty, etc.

[Q] Root KnoxFree

Hi guys! I have my s4 since last year June and I think the time is come for him to get some new features. To do so, I thought to get root permissions and unlock the bootloader in order to install a new custom rom. But I'm overly scared by Knox counter.
I didn't get well the story: if I get permission, I'll trip the counter to 1, invalidating the warranty, right? Is there any way to unlock bootloader and get permissions without tripping knox? Is it worth doing? I'm trying to do a sort of "revamp" of my phone, and maybe getting it faster and more stable than stock roms!
Thank you in advance!
P.S: My S4 is h3g (italy) brandizied. I don't know if it's important! Sorry for my english!

Hi!
Which model do you have?
For i9505 take a look at this

No.
You will have to try some out yourself. XDA prohibits the discussion of "best rom" or "rom recommendations" for several reasons.
It's rude to developers.
They usually devolve into an argument between ROM 1 Fanboys and ROM 2 Fanboys.
And most importantly, only you can make a determination about what roms are best for the way you use your phone. We wouldn't dare deprive you of the opportunity learn about flashing roms and seeing the differences between them. It's a growth experience! You'll learn more in a week than we could teach you by talking about ROMs in a year.
We recommend you read through the development threads and read up on what ROMs are available. Picka f ew and try each one out for a couple days. See what features you want and which ones you hate. Then narrow down what ROM you like based on that.

No luck
I have this phone since last September and really regret that I bought it. Even though it looks like and feels like a normal 9505 or 9500 model, due to its specifications you can not use any custom rom of more common variants. (No Cyanogen, No Miui, No any other well known custom rom). Do not even try flashing 9505 or 9500 roms, I managed to soft brick my phone already with them.
There is almost zero support for this product in forums or if there is any it is in Korean language. The only custom rom I came across is TeamLeader rom, which is a cleaner stock rom practically, getting rid of Samsung's bloatware, but nothing special, same user experience.
IIRC the SHV-E300 is the Galaxy S4 LTE-A and more or less the same device as the ks01lte. So take a look in the i9506 section, there you will find some custom ROMs for your phone, some already LP-based.
I recommend arters 97's CM12, he is doing a great job on this phone.

don't install any custom rom for now if you want everything in working order.
and If u want to upgrade to lollipop, just download firmware of another s4 with same configuration from sammobile.com
I think yours is Korean and it will not get 5.0

First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do
If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time

[Q] Installing Another country on my note 4 and few questions!

Hi, im tired of waiting for Lollipop on my note 4, i have N910HXXU1ANK5 and i was thinking about flashing the other country's firmware, how much is the risk of bricking my device? i pad 800$ for this and im extremely scared! its so much compared to my previous nexus 4 on my old nexus 4 is was like fastboot unlock and tada! its a bit harder in here and i bricked my old n7000 so i rather be careful this time!
Generally how much is the risk of bricking a note 4! what could cause it! i know in general its wrong firmware but like the old n7000 factory reset on ics would kill it and which it did is there anything special like that with the note 4? just be sure too check rom versions?
and what should i do to install 910C on my 910H? what happens if i do something wrong?(soft or hardbrick?)
sorry if this thread sounds stupid, but im going to be 100% sure before i do this as i paid my whole life savings on this
thanks!
From my understanding of the 910h, it is a 3g unlocked note 4. What service are you currently running it through? I just got the lollipop update from verizon a couple of days ago. Before the update came out I got a taste of what lollipop would be like by switching my runtime in the developer options. After the update there isn't too much of a difference. Just color scheme of messaging and some animated pointer click detection and top and bottom wave animation on screen when fully at the top or bottom while scrolling. If you want to get the same performance with your apps as lollipop is running right now, simply go to developer options in your settings, then select runtime, then change from dalvik to ART. Then you won't have to worry about bricking your phone at all.

Root for my phone isn't available yet. Comes stock with knox. There's actually a bounty for a verizon and at&t root method right now, so I'm going to have to hook mine up to my Linux based computer and see what I can do. The biggest risk is of course bricking your device by installing another country. I've been rooting devices since froyo was being developed. I've bricked and unbricked a few of my own devices. Unbricking is usually not easy. Because your partition is more than likely specifically for 910h you'd have to repartition it for the 910c that you would want to install. Make sure to make a copy of the 910h partition before you start. Also copy all of the .rar, .tar, .md5 files that are on the device currently. Haven't done it for about a year myself, but if I remember correctly there are 5-7 of them. One for the modem, etc.

Lets start, its too hard on todays day to brick a device, there are a lot more work around, its not 2011 anymore, the only thing u need to be able to do right is READING, without insulting nobody if you can read then your fine, reading and following all steps on this forum is a key. You can flash anything u want on ur phone WHILE ITS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR N910x MODEL, if ur not rooted yet, go and root it, it takes 2 minutes, remember the key READING, then you can make ur own research by reading the Development section, after u have done rooting and flashing a custom recovery, most people use TWPR, then ur good to go. If you just want a stock experience, then go to sammobile website, search ur model number, and download the stock rom, this you will have to flash it using ODIN, but like a said, by READING, you have NOTHING to worry. Remember if something happens to ur device, this is just to have it in mind,
WHILE U CAN ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE VIA VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER, YOU ARE SAFE MY FRIEND, GOOD LUCK

WHILE U CAN ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE VIA VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER, YOU ARE SAFE MY FRIEND, GOOD LUCK

Xperia z5 premium root, bl & roms!

Okay, i am making this thread so people can find the answer for their questions here, some of these are the questions i was wondering too, but mostly these questions are what i think most people are wondering. And as always i want the answer to be heard from many people, so i really can be sure and know all about it!
ROMS..............
So, anyone got any idea when custom roms like cyanogen get compatibility for xperia z5 premium? how long does it usually take? and how do i get my current stock rom on my pc so i can customise it myself, and not die in waiting for cyanogen ? When the first cyanogen comes, it will be laggy, as everyone knows... Is it worth flashing? Can flashing ROMs break my phone, even when done right? Are they too risky for my brand new flagship beast?
ROOT..............
When do EASY one click rooting apps like kingroot, kingoroot and iroot work with the z5 premium? Does the "dirty" unlocked bootloader root made by androplus for xperia z5p work for the latest software update? When will the legendary locked bootloader root come?
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED......
Okay this is what i can answer on!
Will the camera quality go really bad?
NO, it won't. Only in low light it will be terrible, only in low light! It is EXACTLY (for me) the same as locked bootloader on normal lightning. YOU CAN BARELY SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!
is the boot loader worth unlocking??
This is a hard one. Its different for everybody, someone LIKE ME thinks its worth it, some others think its not. (tell your opinions pls)
FOR ME IT IS. As with unlocked bootloader you will be getting root before the locked boys.
What does change?
For me, nothing really. No experience has changed for me, but everyone uses it differently!
Okey so thats it for now its sunday night soon, post your questions down below, ill answer IF I CAN xd. if i don't know the answer, other people will answer it (HOPEFULLY) please ask and comment below! Thank you guys!
And by the way, will there EVER be a android 4.x rom that works on z5p?
Android 4.x ? Are you kidding me? Nooooo of course there wont be...
Unlocked bootloader exists and so does root. We dont have locked Bootloader root yet.
Cyangenmod? Wont be for while I think.
Id just be happy you have a good device, unlock the bootloader and root.

It does not work. Only root method is with unlocked bl, WICH DID NOT WORK FOR ME! I just installed a custom pre rooted rom, that worked. If u wanna do it the unlocked bl way, its pretty hard if u have only used kingroot for rooting.. And u can easily bootloop or brick ur phone. Thank me for helpful post if i helped pls xdd. I can ofc answer more questions if u need info.

Yea, ALSO! If your getting it. The phone has one problem........ IT BENDS... I can confirm.. So i think its the best phone ever, but its batterylife is pretty poor and it bends.. So if u get it on really bendy places your eventually gonna end up with a samsung curve tv looking phone. Mine is not bent, well slightly, u can barely see it.

To be honest I blame myself,I fell for the hype some sites like gsmarena and phonearena created about that damn AMOLED and samsung cam quality.If I post a comparison with my old Z2 you,ll see how note gets destroyed.the only positive side is deep blacks
