I just purchased a factory unlocked note 3, about to unpack it but was wondering if I can flash kernels on this phone being as its not a vzw locked bootloader. If so, where do I go to find a forum for that phone?

Is your phone a Developer Edition?
No. Just a factory Sim unlocked phone. It gas no carrier branding. International version

Model number?
SIM unlocked is different than bootloader unlocked.

Your bootloader is locked. No kernels. Safestrap and TouchWiz based ROMs only.
Is there a way to unlock bootloader? Like on sprint, t-mobile phones?

If i have a unlocked s4 can i flash any rom on it
you must have an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. so if you have AT&T not at the moment; other carriers too. which carrier did you purchase it through?
There is rooting, SIM/network unlocking, BOOTLOADER unlocking; not the same thing.

You have to wait until a bootloader unlock is released for the AT&T variant. There isn't one just yet.

As we now have a working cm10.1.
Would it be possible for someone to port Sailfish OS or Ubuntu touch to i9505 jfltexx ?
Please like this post if your not a developer and this would be beneficial to you.
Thread bump
Please show support. No-one develops if there is no need for it in the community.
I'm sure the devs want to have an unlocked bootloader.

I9505 is the quad core version of the s4
I9500 is the dual quadcore (octacore with littleBIG architecture)
This thread is to request for the former.

Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.

It tells how you can update your firmware. Since you're rooted the ota probably won't work
