Been awhile since I've rooted and installed custom roms.
I just got my note 3 the other day it's a n900a Nb4 still on 4.3.
I rooted it today but I've been reading for a couple days on what options I have for recoveries and roms and there's a lot of confusion. Not quite as easy as it used to be lol.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what options I have.

Immediately unlock bootloader so you don't have to wipe all your stuff when you finally decide to root, or flash a custom ROM. At least I wish I did.

I was a little unsure at first whether out not I would miss my s3. Six weeks later I don't.

Stock. Unless you are a flash junkie, stock is amazing. CM10 is nice I'm sure, but stock just plain works and is fast as hell. I'm still stock on n7 even. Google knows what they are doing (for the most part)

Thanks guys, I'm really loving phone.
I was thinking of keeping it stock, just like my N7, but definitely I'm going to follow your advice and unlock bootloader, I know I'm not gonna stay too long without root for sure.
Thnx again!
What's up guys? I'm thinking of buying this phone this coming week, but need answers on two questions..
1. Does the rooting method described in these forums work on the international model? Really would like to hide the soft keys and remove some bloat.
2. Would like to buy a case for this bad boy, and am I correct in assuming that all cases work except the ones made for the vzw version?
Huge thanks to anyone able to answer the questions, don't feel like using a Samsung device for the fourth year running..

I was told the root would work for international version. I haven't tried yet however.
Thanks for the answer. Been checking around and it seems like it works for both branded and unbranded international models

he doesn't own a at&t note 3 he owns a T-Mobile note 3 this is the at&t note 3 thread and the topic is root for at&t note 3 why is he commenting here? #trolling
He wasn't bashing anything in here so therefore not trolling

If you can afford this phone and a mac, you can afford a pc. You dont need anything high end, go pick up a $300 laptop. Hell, if you look around, you can probably find something sub $300.
I have parallels which is running windows 7 but dunno if that would work?
I ran VMware on my Mac to achieve root and it worked liked a charm.

I am on an original Galaxy Note and will be ready for an upgrade in a few months. I am looking at the S4, among others. I am leary of getting another Samsung device only to have Sammy abandon it for its successor, leaving owners in the lunch. I was an early adopter of the Note and now, 19 months on we have the Note 3 out and Sammy stopped supporting upgrades on the original Note not long after the device was just a year old.
My question is....knowing what you know today, would you buy another S4? If so, why? If you wouldn't, what bothers you most?
What would you buy in place of the S4?
Thanks to you all.

At this point, I would not, you'd have a locked bootloader and an older phone. I'd probably get a nexus 5.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
You may as well wait and see what the S5 offers. The launch might coincide with your upgrade timeline anyways. Aside from that, I also came from an O.G. Note to the S4. While I do love it, I kinda wish I had gone with a Note 3. I was spoiled by the larger screen. :-$ And yes, locked bootloader does suck. Really limits development. And we are coming up on a year that this phone has been on the market.

I just upgraded from the skyrocket to the S4 a week ago and I'm not disappointed at all. I was lucky that it came with the MDL build do it was easy to root and get TWRP flashed as recovery. I installed the Xposed framework and a module to enable "hold back to kill" feature as well as a couple others that I like. I actually think I'm done modding the phone now, it does everything I want it to do.
Do would I do it again...absolutely!

There is an off topic thread for this type of stuff...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433789
I really can't believe I did a early upgrade to the note 3 from a s3 and I can do more with my old s3 the my new note 3 I got just yesterday I'm really upset about the fact that I'm still on stock modded tw which is really sad I'm really starting to dislike the tw ui so when I got my new phone the note 3 I was hopping to try something new their so many custom firmware out their that I would love to see on my phone that I can't try this is such a let down now I'm stuck paying on a phone I really don't want at this point so on that note I think I'm going to keep using my old s3 less of everything but so much more to do with it this is just a sad morning for me....!!!
