You should first of all install this recovery: "philz touch recovery" Look for threads on this forum and youtube videos how to do it, follow this exactly and properly because this part you don't want to mess up.
When done with that you want to take a backup with "philz touch recovery" there is also guides and videos on how to do that.
Both this things are pretty easy but just be carefull you do them right.
When that is done you will install your ROM, that is very easy. Download ROM to your SD card and use an app like "ROM customizer" to install the ROM. There might be different installs for different ROMS' all ROMs have their own guides, but most of them are pretty much the same.
Just read and you will know everything about how to do this very soon.

I don't think there is much to worry about.
The ROM you want to install supports your version. The recovery should do too.
Just make sure you do everything right when installing the recovery and you should be fine.
Any mistake after that can be repaired with your recovery.
Root is all you need. You should not need to unlock anything else. And don't worry about KNOX.
If your bootloader is locked, then I don't know how to solve it. But I don't think it's locked, only a few service providers in the world lock the bootloaders.
If it is I'm very sorry!

I don't know how to see that beforhand. Just try to do the flash and you should see if it works or not.
If it's fail because it's locked you will notice and then nothing will be broken.
If it's not locked you will have a successful flash, which you will see.
I have read about other Canadians installing ROMS and flashing Recovery so I think you will have success!

The Canadian W8 ROM does not have a locked bootloader. It can be rooted, custom recovery can be installed and if you want, ROMs installed.
With Xposed Framework you don't really need custom ROM. Beauty of root is that you can use titanium backup to freeze dozens of bloatware apps from samsung and others, run Xposed, run other apps that need root, fix the stupid kitkat permissions on SD card, backup your ROM etc.
Once rooted you can also use a third party kernel that supports under or over clocking, depending on your need. Custom kernel developers work hard to get you better battery life.
One thing other poster didn't mention is that when you install custom recovery it will trip Knox. Please don't ask what that is. Look it up and decide. Your warranty will be void.

Has anyone been able to get Viper4Android working on 6.0.1?
I have root, busy box, and SU installed and working but Viper refuses to install the driver. Can someone please help?
I have the G900-W8 with Rogers.

Hi XDA society and devs.
So I've moved to an S4 and I've already rooted it.
Sadly, KNOX figured it out so I'm at 0x1, however, this isn't an issue, I believe KNOX is only important for warranty purposes?
But anyway, I have rooted and installed custom recovery but what I want to ask is how will I go about installing this specific rom on my I9505?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to do, my BUILD number ends in FNB8 and this rom requires NGE8, so is it safe for me to install it without that number?
Do I need to do anything extra to install this rom or can I just move it directly to my storage and install it?
On WanamLites website, it says that the modem and the bootloader for NGE8 is optional?
So does that mean, I don't need to do any ODIN flashes before and after installing this rom?
MY main question is, I have a I9505, rooted and TWRP, can I install this rom straight away?
I appreciate any help, I'm fairly new to this phone and I have done a bit of research but I'm still a little confused.
Thanks to anyone that can provide me with an explanation and perhaps a brief guide. <3
Long Live, XDA.
It does not matter what version you have on your phone (eg FNB8/NGE8), so you can ignore that completely.
The bootloader and modem are for people that still have the old bootloader installed. You don't have that because you have KNOX. So you can also ignore that part.
Just flash away.The instructions are in the first post of that thread.

I read that Wanam just updated the rom, but some people claim that it still has some bugs. Use the 2.6 version instead of the 2.7 untill everything is sorted out.
Hi everyone,
Just spent the best part of 2 hours wondering how I go about installing some kind of custom recovery on my wife's Note 3 (SN9005) so I can run SlimKat on it.
It's currently running MJ7 firmware.
Question: Can this phone have a custom recovery installed so I can flash a different ROM?
I understand that the bootloader is "locked", but it seems that I can still go on my merry way and install a custom recovery and ROM, but Knox will flag that I've changed it.
Can someone please explain to me my options if that's ok?
Thanks very much
No one? :/
Any info would be great
Install ROM Toolbox Pro from the Google play store. You can get recovery installation within that.

How do you manage to think that?
Doesn't that just install a ROM? I didn't think it'd somehow install a different Recovery partition or anything. You'd need Root before installing Rom Toolbox Pro first though, so I'd need to find the best/easiest way to gain Root Access on this handset first.
Thanks

Bootloader is not locked. Just install CWM/TWRP using Odin, then boot into recovery and flash your ROM.
Knox will be broken, but otherwise you should be fine.

Very doubtful someone will guide you step by step, the general idea is to root your phone, install a custom recovery, then install a ROM, there are many guides on how to do this which are tried and tested.
Have a search, it's hard to miss them.

Downgrade your device if you're on a new firmware, use a firmware for your model, flash it via odin (there are plenty of tutorials) root using towel root and you have a rooted phone, the way I did it will void your warranty and knox will be set to 0x1, this happens when you flash something you shouldn't via odin, I flashed a custom recovery, bootloader and modem via odin so my counter is no longer 0x0, there is a way you can root, install a custom recovery and flash a rom, find the Neat Rom thread in android development, get everything you need from there and fire away.
Research and read everything, until you understand it, but the general idea is, root, recovery then rom, forget about original android development for now, concentrate on actually finding a rom that will work on your device, the most common is mine which is the 900f, you're on h so you need to find one that is compatible, don't leap in without guiding yourself first, check and double check.
Good luck.

As most custom roms are pre-rooted flashing a recovery with Odin will do and there is no need to root the device first , then make a nandroid backup of your current rom in recovery and flash the rom (and Gapps for CM) of your choice. Flashing a custom recovery/kernel may void warranty though as KNOX will be tripped to 0x1. As you have the G900H CM is not option atm. You could root the phone and freeze all not needed apps and widgets with Titanium Backup.
Hello all. I just purchased a Note 3 that was originally an AT&T Note 3, but has been unlocked. So I am going to be using it for T-Mobile.
I'm going to be rooting it, so do I use T-Mobile ROMs after its rooted? And is there a certain method I need to use to root? Or is that universal? I've rooted phones in the past, but never an unlocked device, so I dont know what's different, if anything at all. Thanks for any help you can give.
You have to flash the ROM you want, and root after that.
If you root before installing ROM, the rooting will be override.

Yes. The correct sequence should be: install custom recovery, install rom, root.
Some rom comes with pre-rooting so you may not need to root.
Because rooting is in the system partition. And when you install a rom, it will be install to the system partition too. So if you have root, new rom will override your rooting.

Thank you, didnt know all that.
But since it is an unlocked AT&T device that will be running on T-Mobile, do I install AT&T or T-Mobile ROMs? Sorry if this sounds dumb, I've just never dealt with an unlocked device before.
Hello. I'm new to Android and all of this rooting and stuff but I want to try out flashing a custom ROM but I don't know how. Do you need to be rooted? I know about custom recoveries and stuff but I need to know exactly how.

How to root link below (includes unlocking the bootloader). Follow the steps very carefully as this is your first time rooting. I am not to blame nor anyone here on xda if you end up with a bricked phone. If you use android pay this will no longer work, some bank apps will not work either FYI due to root.
At present there is only one custom rom available however this is not specifically made for our device but for the p8 lite. When I flashed it about a month ago there are some bugs still like camera not working. Hopefully some talented people will buy our device and develope a custom rom for us.
