Hey,
I was reading online that the bootloader on the Tmobile Note 3 is unlocked, does that mean there is a one click root app available that won't force a complete system wipe? I don't want to flash a rom or anything just add Xposed and other root stuff. Also, does anyone know if there's an XDA thread for rooting a Note 3 with a mac, if so can someone post the link?

You are in the wrong forum for that - this is (mostly) international models of Note 3, while you probably want to ask in this one:

Hi Guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to flash a international rom into the Note 4 USA Tmobile ?, I would have a phone whitout garbage Tmobile
do you know this is possible to make that ?
Thank you
I will have a ViSiON-X International rom done this weekend, I will post it in the tmo note4 forum when it is ready. Answer is, yes.
The vision X is a no samsung room ? because I would like stay on the samsung room for the update lollipop
I could be wrong but I thought three US had Snapdragon and international was Exynos. In which case it's probably not a good idea to try
No, do NOT flash an international ROM on your T-Mobile Note 4. Only flash firmwares meant for your device model.

Can't you disable the apps you do not want?
Go to Settings > Application Manager, then scroll all the way right to the ALL tab.
Find the applications you do not want and press on each of them. There may be a Disable button.
If you disable an app, it stops running on your phone, you can't see it in your app drawer, it's the next best thing to uninstalling. People have reported success in debloating with this method, see here.
If that is not enough, you can root and uninstall those apps with, for example, Titanium Backup.
Thank you for your answer
Recently I purchased a note 3 off ebay to use tell Im available for an upgrade. I'm not sure what software version is on it cause I haven't gotten it. Just have a few questions.
Is the only way you can root is in 4.4.2 ?
If the phone comes can't I downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4 and them to 4.4.2.
Please understand I'm new to Samsung so not sure it all works. Coming from all htc devices like DNA and one max.

no, you can root Lollipop as well.
there are ways to downgrade but you have to be careful...
Look out for threads in General section and work on the method specific to your model (about downgrade)
this is for N900 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/safe-to-downgrade-ll-to-kk-sm-n900-t3016966 :angel:

Thank you for the quick reply is the n900 and n900v the same thing cause !my model coming is the n900v
Do you think I should try to root lollipop before I try to downgrade.
Wouldn't I follow this guide to root and install trwp n custom rom after.

Do not downgrade. Why would you do that?
No it is not the same, flashing other variants roms will brick yours. Or supersu twrp etc.

Verizon version is not rootable, nor does it accept custom recoveries. You better choose another variant, if that is important to you.

Because it has locked bootloader, right?
So there is no way to unlock the bootloader like with Sonys? Like asking for unlock code from Verizon?

You are correct. Samsung phones all come bootloader unlocked, unless the carriers wants them locked (as was the case with Verizon and AT&T for the Note 4).
The locked versions have almost never successfully been unlocked.
So if you can, stay away from these two variants.

Then why are people saying I can root it.... I do know the phone is coming networked unlocked. I find it crazy that if you can't unlock a verizon bootloader that there are roms that support verizon.
So what your telling me is there's no possible way to root even on stock so i can run xposed framework.?

Some firmware versions have vulnerabilities, which can be exploited to gain root/install safestrap. Some versions allow downgrading to vulnerable versions. But not all.
You should check the Verizon forums for more information http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3.

No. Verizon uses CDMA and will not allow 3rd party phones on their network. T-Mobile uses GSM and will NOT work on Verizon network. Period. You MUST use a Verizon branded device on Verizon network.

Hello Everyone!
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 and I am wanting to root it! But when I tried it did not work so I just put stock rom file back on it. I read online that my boot loader is blocking the root? I did update to 6.0.1 and my version is G930VVRS4APH1
If anyone has achieved root on this device will you please share instructions on how you did it? Thank you

Yes. and after 2 bricked S7's and a 100 rabbit holes leading me to who knows where, I finally got it.. give me a day or so and ill post the link and how to
The thread Sir_Eagle posted is the correct one for anything root. If something looped, then you either did not meet the prerequisites of the guide or did not follow every step of the guide. The bootloader on this variant requires every image to be signed, this is why the only root we currently have is via a SIGNED AND LEAKED engineer bootloader. Without this, there is no root on this variant. If you DO want to root, follow the link Sir_Eagle provided (but realize it comes with an outdated hacky kernel that has known issues), or go with stock. Up to you

That's still a U snapdragon variant (note Snapdragon 820 in specs).. Would be equally unlockable for the bootloader... "UNLOCKED" in retail sense means SIM unlocked, not bootloader unlocked.

Buy the European version of the phone with the Exynos processor instead of the US version with the Qualcomm one. Problem is that phone likely won't work with any of the carriers here in the USA. Or you could move to Europe.

Snapdragon variants aren't unlockable (exception being one hardware different model than ours). You can get an international samsung chipset variant with unlocked bootloader but not a US snapdragon one.

Thanks. I don't have to worry about that for a while, since I just upgraded. I don't like the idea of no root, but it is what it is. Guess I'll check the device recommendation threads next time.
A few other questions that occur (in case I add more devices to my account or pick up an additional service):
1. Aside from an international there a (quality) phone/brand that will allow rooting in the U.S.?
2. What caveats can be expected when using an international device (presumably, I can get one compatible with whatever carrier I choose)
I guess it's conceivable that I could buy one of these 'rootable' phones and either add it to my Verizon acct or replace one of my current lines.
I miss root, particularly the ability to create nandroids and Titanium backups. Oh, and accessing the entire file system.

I really hope that you just didn't do it right cause I just got a G930V and if I can't root it will be immediately RETURNED
No root is an absolute DEAL BREAKER.
I see rooting threads so I hope it works.
Hello All,
TO be crystal clear, this is for HK\China\Taiwan version of the device. Snapdragon bootloader unlockable.
I bought both these phones and was able to root successfully.
Following all the other guides, unlock bootloader etc. you extract the boot image, change to tar, patch it with magisk, flash in Odin via AP, boot immediately in recovery, factory reset, and voila, boot up and you are good to go.
I'm using the S20U with T-Mo and the S20 with ATT
I fandangled these instructions in the OP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-plus/development/howto-root-phone-s20-t4067649

Edit: I imagine this works with S20+ too
So now I have a couple of questions actually.
Given that i'm a US user, can i flash t-mo CSC ? or the NA unlocked FW?
What's safe to debloat?
I do'nt know how to build kernels, but if anyone is interested, i'll be their guinea pig.

Unfortunately cannot be shipped to Portugal
I have several questions
First off for those using swift installer you must apply the high contrast theme on theme store in galaxy apps, then you can use swift installer after a reboot.
Where is caller ID settings like i had on my pixel 3 xl in terms of screening etc.
Also, do i need to flash a t-mobile CSC ?
I have wifi calling VoLTE but unsure if i'm getting the "best speeds" per se
i'm unable to access *#2263# either, does nothing..

g988n I believe is Exynos which is not favored.
if we're already importing from online, might as well go for SD, assuming it will be rootable

thanks for the screenshot. shows me what I know. further google showed me that it is indeed SD for this particular model
the only question now is whether G988N or G9880 is more favored for rooting.
