What is a bootloader and how do I upgrade one? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I bought the Note 3, I'm trying to put TWRP recovery on. But there is a note saying
Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader.​
So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?

[QUOTE So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?[/QUOTE]
Get an app from tge Play store. It's called Info. Here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info
You will find there what you need. Good luck!

Wrong post

Can you check if I have the correct bootloader installed?
I can not make any phone calls at the moment, I get "com.android.phone as stopped" error. Is something wrong with the bootloader, or kernel or the rom or something else?
Please help me. I can not call or receive any calls, I miss talking to my mom.

You're going to get very little help unless you specify what version of Android you're running, Are you running stock or custom ROM? Did you freeze the "bloatware" or did you uninstall it? What do you mean by personal messages on your lock screen, do you mean text messages?
Its a stock rom : KOT49H.I9515XXU1ANI3
4.4.2

Personal message means in replace of Life Companion in which you get with new phone
So when phone is locked I am missing the message and clock
As I think I deleted the apk by mistake

Well first of all you're in the wrong device thread, this is the Sprint S4. The easiest solution would be to reflash the ROM.

You have to replay entire procedure: unlock bootloader - flash TWRP - root.
BTW after dualsim enabled you make upgrade to C432B130 firmware?

You're not the only one, same for me and some other Note FE SM-N935F/DS users...
Seems like that only the Korean variant doesn't have this problem as they can just flash the standard TWRP without problems.
Anyone able to boot back to main screen without flashing stock ROM?
So there's no working root method yet for N935F/DS. Seems we have to wait for a year? Hope not. I like their phones but I hate Samsung!

Are your next 10 posts going to be the exact same as this one & the three preceding it?
Try reading the existing threads before posting identical questions/threads, it's not as if there's a lot to catch up on.......

Problems with Samsung Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100

Hi friends,
I have a Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100 bought on Amazon and comes from Hong Kong.
I want to install a ROM with Android 10 or 11 and when I'm running Odin, I get this message on the phone:
Instalation Failure. You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
Do you know what I can do to unlock the phone and let me install the ROM?
Thank you very much for your answer
Hi, I think I have been able to fix the phone locking problem (I am not sure).
Now I have another problem, when Odin is doing the TRW download on the phone, it appears in red letters on the phone: Binary size is too large: recovery
After that the download stops and Odin shows FAIL in red letters.
What can I do?

i need serious help with my FIG-LX3

i'm trying to restore my device with the original rom, but i can't find it ANYWHERE, and whenever i use official server links (the ones with hicloud address) it shows one of two things: a white screen saying "an error occured" or the browser shows an error

i even tried using erecovery and hisuite but no luck whasoever, erecovery says "package info error" and hisuite says i'm on the latest version (i'm not, i'm using an emui 8 rom for ARGC771 model that isn't working well with mine, i'm looking for the one from the C771 model), not to mention that the firmware finder app is completely useless now
i had recovered my phone back to normal after unlocking its bootloader and flashing a custom rom into it, but that was like 2 or 3 years ago, but now idk where to find the firmwares i need, i'm doomed...
i need a way to return my phone back to normal... i appreciate if you guys can help me, thank you
here are my phone's exact model:
FIG-LX3 C771
Vendor: entel_cl
