[Q] Where to Buy Note 3 Int'l LTE

Hi,
I am looking to buy Galaxy Note 3 - LTE - International Version! The one with Snap 800. I believe its N95005 :S. I am in Canada. I will require AWS HSPA+ band , that is what my carrier uses, so from my research I Can flash any modems even the one from my carrier NOTE 3, to get the AWS band.
Anyone know a good website to get it from?? Any help is appreciate it!

Yup the SM-N9005 -
http://www.handtec.co.uk I believe will ship all across the world, may have to check to be sure though

Yeah they ship world wide , thank god for FedEX!
So, why is the Black version more expensive than the white version?
Also, this must be region locked, right? How would I be able to unlock the region thing?? Can I root this without voiding the Knox?? And I can flash any roms, modems via odin, there won't be this secure check fail , correct? Sorry, I just want to confirm it.
Thank you!

In regards to region lock, you may have to email them first - they sell some with the title "open box" ( to unlock region lock maybe?) - Or they may have US/CA variants also in stock.
You may be able to root it without voiding KNOX it depends what firmware version it ships with. But if you want to flash custom ROMS then you have to trip KNOX 0x1 - no way around that. But yes you can do it if you don't mind tripping 0x1.
I guess White this time round is the popular colour of choice. Everyone I know with a Note has White except me I have the Jet Black.

No, i don't want to buy US variant, thats the whole point in buying international lol. I can buy canadian variant, but it is over priced, plus i can't flash anything.
So, um, I can flash any TW roms and modems from any region/country on the SM-N9505??
Lol, White one appears to be cheaper

You can flash what you like on the N9005, as long as you don't mind tripping KNOX

The T-Mo US variant is unlocked except for carrier (which is unlockable by code) and I bought mine for $680, cheaper than the N9005's were going for on swappa where I got mine. It's N900T. You can flash N9005 ROMs except for the kernels and a patch to fix a few other things. I'm using such a ROM now which is why it's reporting as an N9005. See what you can get cheaper in your area and go with that. Avoid N900A (AT&T) since it has locked bootloader. There's also a Canadian variant that is similar to N900T with unlocked bootloader, might be the one you've referenced.

Yeah, I pretty much realized that Sam is screwing with customers big time. Worse than Apple.
So, regardin the region lock, I can assume the website you sent me is shipping updated firmware N95005, so I can't use region away app. Do you know any asian market website that can ship N95005 to Canada?

Lol, T-mobile stock rom is worse than anything. I had S3 from them, it was a pain dealing with their crap load because didn't really want to root and stuff back then. For Note 3, I don't want to flash custom roms right of way. Gonna try it out for 2 months before voiding warranty. So, I need to get N9008W-AWS version the Canadian, or International Note 3, where I can flash AWS band modem easily without tripping Knox.
t-mobile Note 3 isn't sold here, and I am not gonna buy it online from ebay cuz i end up paying $200 for custom duty tax. If you know a website that uses UPS/FedEx type of shipping for t-mobile , i might consider it .
Right now im trying to find N95005 that is brand new and not region locked or the region lock can be removed =| .
thank you for your help!! appreciate your inputs!

Btw, the Negri Electronics, is that a good website to buy phones?

Is that the international Galaxy Note 3 they are selling?? Is that region locked? It doesn't say on their description :S
Thanks!

Apparently they are OK from what I have read, haven't used them myself so can't personally comment.
In regards to region lock and updated firmware - we can never know what firmware/region lock (if any) is being shipped on devices until we get them - but with region lock, I'm gonna assume they won't send an EU model with EU lock on it to Canada? -

Negri Electronics doesn't have region lock , but the website you sent me it does, there is a note posted =| .
Can you tell me for sure the Negri link I posted is the international version??

Negri have the N9005 listed - that is defo the INT model - shoot them an email to be 100% certain it is the N9500 they are selling, because we have seen it before where a site advertises a model number and it is wrong! - for your own peace of mind mainly -

Dear All,
I have SM-N9005(Note 3) purchased in UAE. As Android Kitkat(4.4.2) is not officially released, I downloaded and updated Note-3 with Poland Offical Firmware from www.sammobile.com.
Now I want to root my Note 3 without disturbing the knox. I gone through the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487916
the root access procedure mention is quite old(4.3), I am not sure whether same procedure will work for 4.4.2 also. Can somebody please confirm it. Below are my phone details
Model : SM-N9005
AP : N9005XXUENB3
CP : N9005XXUENB1
CSC : N90050XXENB1
Please let me know if you need any further details.

Jeez ... not the most friendly responses to this guys question ...

You want to know what's funny? If you search on here for "rooting Note 3" ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=315874282
... this is the very first thread that comes up.
Most of the other hits you get aren't all that helpful either, except maybe the "Root with Root De La Vega" thread, but that's a little advanced for someone who's never rooted the Note 3 before. I rooted my original Note, and it seems a little advanced to me ...
Knox is new to me too ... Do I really have to worry about tripping it?

[Q] Is this a T-mobile Note 3 or not?

I really can't find the answer here or anywhere. (i've been searching all morning)
I've been reading allot about it but know is me question.
Is my note 3 Branded or not and can i just install stock 4.4.2 and then flash X-note or any other custom firmware?

Now according do this it is just a normal Note 3. I have another carrier in it with LTE working and everything is working.
BUT When i boot the phone there is a t-mobile boot animation. (thats all i can find of t-mobile in and on the phone)
I know T-mobile does this with all there phones and my last Note 2 had this to and i could just Root and Flash all i wanted like it was a normal version. Now can i also do that with this Note 3. And how can i know the difference between a T-mobile Note 3 and a International One.

Its probably only the T-Mobile bootanimation which is added. Should be fine to root it and flash custom roms on it if you want. Search in the T-Mobile thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile to be sure.

Suggestions on how you specifically call this? I tried Branded, Unbranded, International note or T-mobile and all variations i could think of

I guess you have a SM-N900T, look in the link in my above post for how to root it and which roms//mods are available. Look in device info for the correct model number or in the Phone Info app from Play as linked above.

Just to make sure bro, thought initialy you might have a US T-Mobile device Dutch T-Mobile devices are not branded, you can also flash a PHN (unbranded) rom from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/. This will not trip the KNOX void warranty.

I probably thought already so, but i didn't know what changed and didn't wanted to brick it from the start. And i really want to do custom so the KNOX warranty can kiss my ass. I never bricked a device by being careful and can change the hardware myself. And if i really need the warranty i buy a new phone. i switch every half year or so i never use that.
Thanks for the input i'm gonna have a happy time flashing

how do i root with knox i9505 uk o2

hi every one
firstly id like to say im really dissapointed with the support ive recieved thus far regarding this knox issue.
having searched every rooting for s4 thread i found nothing, i couldnt even post in chainfires own thread to ask for assistance.
so maybe a mod or an advance samsung user can help me by refering me to a knox rooting thread or guide on how i can make this phone worth the money i paid.
i got hold of the s4 gt-i9505 cheap £100 locked to o2 uk, but its riddled with this knox security stuff thats blocking odin from flashing auto root.
and i couldnt even use the *#0011# sim unlock method because of this ridiculous stuff samsung is using now. (definately my last ever samsun device)
sorry for ranting so much but without root this phones going in the bin.
thanks to all and everyone who helps me with this issue
note: i dont need warranty on this phonebe cause its just going to be used for developing pokemon games similar to rpg maker fan games with content updates

wow dude not to be rude but you are clearly a NOOB i dont care about sim lock or region lock, do you know what knox security is on samsung devices? if not then i suggest you learn, because it is stopping every one from rooting and flashing custom roms and recovery.
i have a suspicion you don't speak english well, and are misinterpreting what im saying.
