[Q]I'm confused as to what roms I can flash.

Hello xda
I haven't rooted yet but I'm looking up on what roms I may want to flash but I'm having a problem understanding what roms I can flash.
My phones hardware version says N900p
So I initially thought i could only flash n900 roms
But apon further investigating It seem n900 roms are for the exynos powered note 3.
I just ran cpu-z and it says I have the snapdragon cpu
Does that mean I'm able to flash n9005 roms?
(Btw I'm on sprint.)
Also just a side questions if anyone happens to know. Does sprint care if the Knox is tripped? I remember reading somewhere that they don't but I can find where I read that and I want to be sure.
Thanks to anyone that can help this confused noob.

[Q] Hi, I just changed my phone to note3, and I want to root my phone.

Hi. As I said in the title, I've just changed my phone to samsung galaxy note3, but I'm not sure how to root this phone cuz I used to use a galaxy s2 before I changed my phone. ps. I live in South Korea and I'm using a Korean galaxy note3 ( sm-n900s)
The things I want to ask you guys are these
1. How do I root this?
2. Is there any custom roms that can be installed on the note3 jellybean 4.3?
3. When I root this device, does something happens to the knox warranty thing? When I searched a Korean developer forum, they said if I root this device, the knox warranty will be broken so you'll not be able to get free a/s.
4. Is the way of installing roms on note3 same as the way of galaxy s2?
5. Is it ok to install non-korean roms on my note3?
Thanks.

Of course - you'll trip KNOX 0x0 -> 0x1 and void your warranty

One piece of advice I will give you. Read until your eyes burn and you know everything that goes wrong/can go wrong and how to fix it if it does go wrong.

Go to Note 3 Android Development session, there's plenty of custom ROMs option there... Enjoy your root!

Noob with some questions

Hey there everyone. I'm not new to Android but I am new to wanting to Root my device. I switched over to the dark side for about 6 months and had to get away so I traded my iphone 5c(junk) for an S4 on Verizon network. The issue at hand is that the previous owner who happened to work for Verizon updated the damn thing religiously. It's currently running 4.4.2 on the FNC5 band. From what I'm gathering there isn't a way to currently root this build? I've seen a tutorial on downgrading back to I believe MK2 which is 4.2.2?? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I may have to try that method if at all possible. Or should I just wait.. and suffer with an un-rooted S4.... or just trade for an HTC one... lol
Thanks everyone and don't hurt me too much... I honestly have been trying to learn the past 2-3 days and have been slightly confused.. but it seems to be making more sense with Rooting and installing ROM's.

By the way...in Odin mode... the knox kernel lock says 0X0 as well as the knox warranty void.... odes this mean I can root the device normally!?!?!

Wait a minute, what is your model?
International or Verizon?
If you have Verizon s4, then you are in wrong section, go Verizon S4 section, you will get more help there.
For the information on the i9505 , which is very similar to Verizon s4, you can root on 4.4.2 but you will trigger the KNOX as the flag will set to 0x1, which means lost warranty

[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.

Hi.
Not a very useful title for a thread. Most everyone needs help or help in having a question answered...
And also your question isn't something to be answered clearly...
You could root your device. If you need it is your decision. Do you see clear benefits in it? Are you aware, that there is no way to do it without tripping knox atm?
Do you have a device with an exynos processor in the first place? If it is a snapdragon you could forget the whole idea of rooting at this point, because there is no way to root it atm.
ah.. okay. must have missed the device model type.. yes, you can root. you have the exynos...
