[Q] Note 3 neo sm-n7505

Hello,
I have a question.
I have my note 3 for a couple of days. It is my first android device. (always used apple)
I Read something about a knox code. That will trip when I root my device.
Is that true, or is there a workaround?
Also, I read somewhere that KitKat was released for the note 3 neo (sm-n7505)
But no ota..
If I install the official rom of KitKat, will that also trip my knox?
I hope someone can help me with this

You don't have an international Note 3 device, you have a Neo variant which has it's own dedicated forums here.

[Q] Australian Note 4 - Can I use different Lollipop Rom?

Hi All.
So I have an Australian Note 4, Telstra version SM-N910G, as some of you may know, we will not receive Lolllipop until probably may or even later.
I am pretty sure the answer is no, but is it possible to use another countries Rom? Like an F or C version?
I am not wanting to root or trip knox either.
Thank you!

You own a Frankestein. Install this APP and add some screenshots.

@androidfine16: Without seeing your information from Phone Info, I can virtually guarantee that your only means of upgrading will be to install AT&T firmware, which will not lead to a good experience unless you're not planning on rooting the phone. AT&T locks its bootloader, making rooting virtually impossible.
If you just got this device, run, don't walk to where you got it from and return it.

Any Rom working for our AT&T locked bootloader? Any?

Hello everybody in this forum and happy new year 2016!
I've been spending time reading old Note 3 forums and is been hard to find any good Rom working on our AT&T Note 3, because our device has Locked Bootloader.
Actually I am running Phronesis Rom V. 2 and is great so far no lag, no complain. But I would like to jump to another Rom because this is the higher version I can run on my Locked Bootloader Note 3.
Is there any other Rom you guys know is 100% working on our locked bootloader AT&T Note 3? Hopefully with Lollipop 5.0.x + or Note 4,5 port for ours.
Please post links to try them.
Yes I am noob, but I don't want to rid of my AT&T note 3 for now.
Thanks in advanced for read my post.

Should I switch from my A40 to a Note 4?

My A40 has been crap recently (can't install ROMS etc.) And the newest note phone that has a simple bootloader is the Note 4 I have a Note 3 and the experience is great on it. So should I get a Note 4?

It's a good phone but:
as there are many posts about emmc failure of these devices I wouldn't have bought it knowing that in advance.
You never know when it happens and have no chance to avoid it.
If you can get it cheap, it might still be worth it as some guys offer repairing/resoldering it.
Don't take N910V Verizon, as these are very hard to flash TWRP/custom ROM onto it.
N910C with Exynos CPU are said to be faster than N910F Snapdragon but not that well supported with custom ROMs.
