I want to post a new thread because it took me a long time before finding a thread about customization of the Canadian Note 8.0 LTE (i467M). By posting a new thread with search tags, hopefully Canadian i467M users can find this useful information.
There is no custom ROM but you can root the tablet and use apps such as Root Uninstaller to de-bloat (remove bundled apps locked in system).
Thanks to Harry_fine, I can confirm that the N5120 kernel is compatible with the i467M.
I picked up a used i467M for $150 and updated 4.1.2 to 4.4.2, then flashed CF-auto root kernel for N5120 and Philz touch CWM recovery for N5120 with Odin. Finally flashed the CivZ-SphereKat-REV5.4 OC kernel by CWM. Everything works smoothly, now I got a faster tablet with OC CPU and GPU.
I did not test LTE because I only use the Note 8.0 as a wifi tablet.
To help other Canadian users with the i467M + Android 4.4.2 Kitkat to mod their tablets, you can find the necessary components here:
(1) CF_Auto Root for N5120 - flash with Odin to gain root if you are not rooted
NOTE: when you first run SuperSU, it will ask if you want to disable Samsung KNOX, which I did.
(2) Philz Touch v6.15.4 for N5120 - flash with Odin to install CWM touch recovery
(3) Civato's CivZ-SphereKat-REV5.4 for N5120 - flash OC kernel with CWM
(Users who have never done flashing should google and read carefully on how to use Odin to flash kernels and recovery modules (in TAR format) and how to use CWM to flash the OC kernel (in ZIP format). These guides are everywhere. It is not that difficult and scary to do)
P.S. I also tried another custom OC kernel (Boeffla Kernel). CWM appeared to successfully flash the kernel, but it did not load when I reboot ("About device" shows the original kernel).

I'm trying to learn more about the S5 root world. I am currently running the OTA NHA build, and am rooted using towelroot, and have the latest safestrap installed (also have supersu and busybox). What i am trying to understand is how the custom rom's work now. I just got the S4, and never had my bootloader locked since i rooted/rom'd earlier on and never ran stock, and i was using TWRP so there were no rom slots or the like; you downloaded a rom, wiped your phone, flashed it, done.
This bootloader/kernel/baseband talk is what's confusing me. A question that i've been trying to find the answer for is as such: let's say i have my NHA rooted phone, but there is an NE9 rom on the forum i want to try (extreme syndicate/alliance). Can i just flash that to a rom slot and go, or do i flash the kernel as well? if i flash the kernel, won't that mess with my stock rom, or does that just patch the kernel inside of the rom slot?
I already understand that chronologically, the baseband/build versions are NCG>NE9>NHA>NI2, so understand that rom's baseband is a version behind NHA. Someone please help clarify some of this for me

Verizon Note 3, can a custom rom be put on 4.4.2?
RomsWell said:
Just odin the nc2 kernel. Safestrap. Make a backup in ss of your current stock rooted setup.
Wipe dalvik data and system under advance wipe in ss and then flash your rom. Rinse and repeat for your next rom. You do not need to re-odin the kernel when switching roms. And always flash to the stock slot. Multi slot setups have been problematic since the kk update.

Does this odin of the nckernel.tar.md5.zip work on 4.4.2? And can a custom rom be added with or after?
I have Verizon Note 3 with 4.4.2 on it. I have safestrap 3.75. What I want to do is put Nitroglycerine's Note 3 Eclipse ROM on it. Can anyone give me a step by step guide. I've searched the forums, but it is like finding a needle in a haystack. I recall seeing a video guide by droid modder x which showed replacing the stock rom slot with a custom rom in its place, but I think that was for 4.3 note 3's. Is it possible to get Eclipse TW Note3 v.2.01 on a 4.4.2. I have a house full of rooted phones via Odin, never used safestrap much, and a bit concerned since Hash looks like he has to work on other things besides safestrap.
So can we get a custom rom on note 3 verizon with 4.4.2?
I'm with ya
So... who is taking over for hash?
SS 3.72
I'm using safestrap 3.72. Can i flash using this version?
Had to replace my note and got a stock NC4 device now. I rooted it and got busybox and root access working. I then got safe strap installed and it boots up just fine. Now for the issue, when i try to install any rom it fails every time. Has anyone run into this issue and if so can you point me in the right direction to get back to flashing and moding

PMFJI, dumb question, but have you installed SuperSU?
safestrap/jasmine rom question
Hi I have a Verizon note 3 with jasmine rom v2.0. Rooted, flashed NC4 over NC2, on 4.2.2. used safestrap 3.75 but this was a little while ago. Done some poking around and havn't really seen anything as far as if there is a version of safestrap where the rom slots work. Or do I still need to install my rom to the stock slot? Looking to upgrade to the newer jasmine rom. Would the instructions be the same as the old ones for installing? If someone could help me out or point me to the right thread I would appreciate it thanks!
Flashing NC2 Kernel
Im currently on NC4 OTA with Safestrap installed and working. Custom roms do not work, however. Most threads all say to flash the NC2 kernel, which will allow me to install custom roms to other rom slots.
Is this correct? Do i only need to flash the NC2 Kernel? And if I do, will my NC4 stock rom slot still boot?
If I remember right you'll need to Odin nc2 over nc4 so that your roms will work. Also with using safe strap on the note 3 I think you will have to flash to stock slot none of the other rom slots were workin at the time when I was flashing mine over so make a good backup through SS before you do anything. It's been a while since I've messed with mine still running jasmine 2.0. Just find a good set of instructions or video and go with it
Cannot save or install ROMs - Rooted, SafeStrap installed, Knox OK
Howdy, folks!
I understand there is no more support for SafeStrap. Posting anyway, hoping an unofficial reply may be helpful... Thanks.
As I understand it, in order to save or install ROMs I *must* use SafeStrap. Is this so?
I see 3 different SafeStraps at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=1481#downloads
3.75 b03 / 3.65 / 3.75 b04
Maybe using a version other than the one I already tried (3.75 b04) will fix my issue?
My Verizon Note 3 details: SM-N900V / Android 4.4.2 / Kernel 3.4.0-1487472 / build version NC4 / bootloader NC4 / Knox = 0x0 / Build date 4/28/14.
Device is rooted (via TowelRoot and confirmed with Titanium Backup). Safestrap 3.75 is "Installed". BusyBox 1.232 is installed.
When I run SafeStrap the screen shows "State: Installed" and "Safe System: Not Active".
Tapping "Reboot to Recovery" does reboot the phone but I do NOT get any options to save or install any ROMs. The phone just reboots.
I thought I read somewhere I may need to (somehow) roll back to NC2... Or try something called ODIN? I dunno...
Any ideas, folks?
Thanks much!
Hello all,
I recently installed 5.0.1 rooted on galaxy s4 I337 using muniz's method and had some questions?
The main reason I rooted was to try to get xposed so I can edit the ui, I understand that it is not working on samsung devices right now, but when it does work, I understand the only way to install it is using a custom recovery.
Since I have a locked bootloader and am on 5.0.1 I don't think there is a way to get a custom recovery on here, correct me if I'm wrong.
How would I install the xposed framework? Will flashfire be able to load it?
Also, if I were to revert back to the stock NB1 build, can I re-root and install clockworkmod (would LOKI work then?) on it and then go to a custom rom like cynogenmod or are there problems with this because I already have updated all the way to 5.0.1? (I've done this rollback through ODIN before and it's not too bad.)
I'm new to android modding so this has been a learning experience.
Thanks
Once upgraded to the locked bootloaders, there is no going back to loki. You can downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2, but you can only use safestrap recovery, and only touchwiz based firmware. Also, safestrap doesn't work on 5.0.1 yet. From what I have read, with 5.0.1 you'll have to wait and see what the developers come up with. If you care to learn more about the history of bootloaders, there is lots of info in these forums.

If xposed ever is updated to support Lollipop Touchwiz, you'll be able to flash it using Flashfire or using the Safestrap workaround (flash 4.4 kernel so you can get into safestrap, flash files, then flash 5.0 kernel). There's no way to go back to CWM or TWRP past the old MF3 4.2.2 update, which has long come and gone now.
I've recieved an official update on my Note3, now my baseband /bootloader /pda/ is N9005XXUGPOF3, while the CSC is N9005NEEGPOF3. I live in Italy
The phone is still stable and smooth,but the battery leakage is crazy.
I would like to root the phone and install twrp to put on some custom rom. Does anybody know if and how I can do it?
I was checking about chainfire root method and i have to choose one of those too,
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
(only works on 4.4 bootloaders, if you're still on 4.3 use the old version which you can find here:...)
Which is my bootloader version at this time?
Can I use safely the 4.4 bootloader version?
How should i procede to root the phone?
Question goes to Q&A section mate, not here in General.
I can't comment about CF auto root method as I have stopped using it long ago. But for me, the easiest way to root is, flash TWRP recovery, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245 and then head over here to get the latest SuperSU zip, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and then flash the zip package from recovery. Done.
You root all right, flash any custom ROM you want, but there shouldn't be any leakage issue on Stock ROM. I am on an almost stock ROM, and the OF3 ROM is simply very good, there is not battery leakage at all!
I have the baseband version i337UCUFNJ4. I rooted the phone using towelroot, then installed BusyBox. I could not download any files regarding SafeStrap from the links on the XDA forum.
How should I proceed to install a custom recovery and installing ROMs?
If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install TWRP or CWM and you can only use touchwiz-based custom ROMs.

From the linked thread:
SAFESTRAP IS THE ONLY RECOVERY WE CAN USE!
Don't even try flashing another one. HUGE thanks @Hashcode for starting it and @muniz_ri and @Surge1223 for keeping it going.
