Hi all,
Sorry to be a pain, but I just bought a Note 3 "n900" (http://www.ebay.com/itm/361130730558) and I've been doing some reading and saw that lollipop may be avalible for my soon-to-be new phone.
But i'm a little confused, my search results bring up pages of SM-n900 and I am not sure if this is the same thing as just plain old n900 which is the version that I bought.
Anyway, if anyone can clarify the difference, i'd appreciate it. I'm specifically just looking to flash lollipop when it arrives (if it already doesn't update) and root to remove bloatware. Any advice?
Thanks!
SM stands for Samsung Mobile.
The full device designation is SM-N900. N900 is the same device, the name has just been shortened for convenience sake.
If you go to Settings > General > About Device it should say SM-N900 under Model Number.

Hello
I will buy the note 3 today hopefully
So im undecided to get between the 2 versions (n900 vs n9005)
both are available in my country with an additional 80$ for n9005
the question is which is better overall
1 Performance ?
2 Stability?
3 Developement and support?
4 Sound ?
btw i dont need 4g
THank you all :good:
..
Same question here, is it worth the extra 100$ to buy the n9005? Will the difference in performance and battery life justify the extra money?
Personally I wouldn't use the 4k recording and we don't have 4G here just as yet.
Same Scenario Here, paid the extra money and will never buy anything exynos again,
The N9005 has more love when it comes to developement.
There has been some reports of the exynos n900 overheating but as I don't own one I'm not inclined to say this is so.
Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread, but just bought a used Note 3 which was advertised as an N9005 however settings>About Phone tells me it's an SM-N900, baseband version N900TUVUCNB4(which research tells me is a T-Mobile N900), the label on phone in the battery compartment identifies it as an SM-N900.
We have challenged the seller saying it's not an N9005 but he is insisting that the N900 is only a series name and that I have the N9005. Is this correct? It doesnt sound right to me - I have a Note 2 LTE which identifies itself as an N7105, versus the3G model which identifies itself as an N7100.
Can anybody confirm what I should see under model number?
Thanks in advance
It's very easy. If in Settings - "About device" - "Model number" you have SM-N900, it's the 3G Exynos version of the Note 3. If it says N9005 is the 4G Snapdragon version of the Note 3. You can't flash a SM-N9005 firmware on a SM-N900 and you can't flash a SM-N900 firmware on a SM-N9005.
The seller just wants to make you keep the phone.

Hey guys!
I am in a fix here. I have finally decided to go for Galaxy S5 but I am unable to choose between the two available SD devices i.e. SM- G900F (European) & SM-G900S (Korean). I see most of the developments happening in 900F at the moment but i am getting a better deal on 900S.
I don't want to end up buying a device where I am unable to flash custom ROMs as I am kinda used to be updated now Thanks to XDA for that!! Someone claims to have already made an enabler for korean versions which would allow us to install any SD ROM on the korean version just by flashing a zip.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789848 .So please suggest which one should I go for as i need to book the device ASAP.
F is the obvious choice is development is what you care about. I doubt there will be much here for the S but if that zip works then maybe it's not an issue. Personally though I think the F is a no brainer

No one to help?? Any korean model user on the forum?
ok so the specific model i have is a SM N900. i have some questions. btw, iam rooted and have custom recovery installed.
1. Can i only install Roms specific to my model?
2. is there a way to install roms made for sm n9005 on my model?
3.is there a custom rom out there that is close to stock? or any AOSP roms out for sm n900? (ive searched and had no luck finding one)
thanks in advance.
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Forbidden question. People don't get spoon feed here. You may be send to Mars for asking if there was life there. ?
Try to look closer and read some stuff here first dude. So you avoid further bothering with your lovely smart phone.
Hi guys, bit of a noob as you can probably tell already. I bought a korean note 3 and basically I want to make it into a standard uk version if I have phrased that right, any help is appreciated also my phone is rooted and on lollipop 5.0.

Hi all, I've just joined and have just finished rooting my Samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9007. I've tried searching on the net for custom rom but they all seem to be for other variants of the note 3. Can someone point me in the right direction. I did notice the cm14 rom but that was for sm-n9005 so I'm assuming it won't be compatible. In case you can't tell I'm far from being a pro at this sort of thing but just wanted to try a different rom out as I'm sick of Android 5.0. Thanks in advance, Michael.
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Galaxy Note 3 Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck
You may have difficulty with that model .

Thanks, yeah it does seem like that. There's plenty for the n9005 but I'm assuming I can't use those rooms on my n9005?

Be sure to open up the ROM post on the forum and read the compatibility list. In most cases, they use N9005 as a base but it also might be compatible with other variants
For example I'm using an n7 port which only mentions compatibility with the N9005 (but it does not say EXCLUSIVE for the N9005) but as I kept reading on the same post, I learned that the N900T (my variant) is also supported to install
So please read the forum carefully and/or use the search function on that thread. You'd be surprised to know how many people have asked if their Note 3 variant is also supported
Hope this helps!
