I don't see why not, you would need to do it via Odin and make sure you have the correct Firmware. You can download stock roms from sammobile.
I am amazed buy how much effort you put into familiarizing yourself with forum rules. Clearly Q&A section was made just for fun. I am sure mods wanted everyone to ask questions in development.
To answer your question. I am not entirely sure, but I believe Verizon version may have different hardware so installing 910f version of ROM may seriously mess up your device.
It may be better idea to ask that question in Verizon Note 4 forum...

Hello everyone,
Before I continue... I currently have a Galaxy SII Skyrocket that I've flashed several times using Odin and have rooted in order to reset the custom ROM counter to 0, followed by flashing back to official 4.2.2 via the firmware available on Sammobile. Not saying I'm a technical expert, but if there's instructions on how to do it, I can follow.
My ATT contract is up for upgrade eligibility in the middle of June, and will be ordering the Galaxy S4 when the time comes. I understand the I337 and I9505 are basically the same device, so I9505 firmware can be flashed onto the I337. I've also found the simple instructions on how to unlock your device from AT&T's network.
My question is, is there an available firmware that is stock Android 4.2.2 (no AT&T bloatware or stuff that didn't originally come from Android), basically what will come with the unlocked Galaxy S4 that will be available from Google via the Play Store, that is official (like ROMs found via Sammobile) that can be flashed to the I337 without tripping the custom ROM counter or requiring the device to be rooted? I don't even care if the phone is unlocked... I'll be using it through AT&T's network. I just don't want what Google didn't originally intended Android 4.2.2 to contain on my device.
And if not, which I assume is the answer, is it safe to assume the firmware that will come on the unlocked S4 from Google will be flashable onto the I337 with the abovementioned terms?
I apologize in advance if there is a thread that already answers this question.
Thanks,
Brett
Im looking for sane thing. A base 4.2.2 google goodness without TW, bloatware etc.

It's safe to assume we will be able to flash the Google edition rom but it hasn't been confirmed. Right now the main worry of anyone who doesn't currently own an S4 is a future update that patches Dans Loki exploit. I'm far, far from a dev but I do stalk the R&D thread Adam created about unlocking the bootloader permanently, and I don't see much activity. I don't really know how far they've come or how close they are, and I've got enough common sense to not bug them or ask for eta's.

When some devs get a hold of the google os, I am sure they will port it over for us. I see no reason why we will not be able to run that rom.
I've searched for the answers to this to some extent. I had the S3 which was compatible with the AT&T 747, but the question is, is there a compatible US model for the S5? Can I flash stock ROMS for the G or F, say?

I believe you want a phone that supports 1700Mhz and 2600Mhz which is band 4 and 7. That covers the 3 amigos (bell, telus, rogers).
Looking at the Galaxy s5 specs that would be G900A (At&t), G900M(Vodafone), G900T (Tmobile).
I would post the links but this site won't let me.
Supposedly all s5's have a fully populated radio so only limitation if any is firmware anyways and there are procedures on this site how to change that now. So in theory any s5 can be made to work. If not please correct me.
I do recall that when 4.3 started leaking for the s3 there was bootloader issues that made them very unfriendly together between AT&T and Canadian. Does anyone know if these bootloaders are still an issue?
Wow it really is amazing how many people DON'T search or have any urge in their mind to find out the answers themselves. If you'd of just searched the boards instead of making this thread you would have your answer, but that would be too easy I guess so why not get spoon fed??

You are safe to flash all CUSTOM 900f roms (Non Odin Flashable) .
You can only flash 900w8 STOCK ROMS (Odin flashable)
As for Bootloaders, you can only flash 900w8 variants, for example,my carrier is Sask tel, but I use the latest Puerto Rico bootloader and it's no problem. So as long as its for a 900w8 it should be OK. Always double check to make sure any advise given is accurate and you don't pay the price. Just saying..

Thank you good sir.
I was an exchange student in Canada a while ago and I bought my galaxy s4 GT i9505 there, it was unlocked for other carriers, because I live in Brazil, so I bought it and a friend of mine tried to update the OS, but he did put the Google Edition OS on my phone, and now it doesn't recognize my sim card, it's like I can't catch the signal again, anyways, I have 2 main questions:
1-Can I go back to Samsung stock rom and it will be okay?
2-What is the correct stock for the M919VVLUAMDJ baseband version? Does the carrier matter? Because I don't know,because I bought it unlocked
PLEASE HELP ME =(

but then,which one should I download?
The VTR,GLW or the MCT one? The thing that bothers me is that I don't know the original carrier, since I bought it unlocked and rooted already

So,they won't make difference if I download them? All of the three up there are going to work on my phone? I'm a noob so...I'm afraid to brick it, and this cell phone is kinda expensive here in Brazil (freaking taxes )
Hello
I am new to this forum and definitely to the aspect of upgrading the OS. I own Note 3 SM-900A which I bought online. It is factory unlocked. I am using it in India since 2014. There has been no problem ever since. But I have now realised that many apps don't work including Google Assistant on current OS 4.3. I wish to upgrade it. However I face a problem when I try OTA upgrade that no upgrades are available. This is understandable as I am not part of AT&T network.
I guess the only option left is root and upgrade. Therefore my queries:-
1. How does one go about it?
2. Which version of OS do I install and where do I get it form?
3. Do I have to install custom ROM? Can't I simply download pure OS and install it?
Sorry for sounding like a newbie... I am one thought.

Are you sure you are pointing me too the right forum. They seem to be discussing about spotting the difference between the real and fake phones. Mine is not such case.
You need to read that post .

The n900a is the AT&T version of the note3:https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att
Trying to update my Note 3 to android 7 but running in circles.
Progress:
Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.5
Rooted device
Uploaded rom to SD card*
Boot recovery mode, select ROM file
Run install
This is where I keep going in circle.
It keeps telling me cannot verify file, verification failed. (does this twice)
Then says update successful, wipe data, format etc.
Reboots back to same old V4.2 again and of course the apps I installed to work on phone gone and have to re-register with Play store to get them back.
How do I solve the error "Unable to verify file"
( also is there a way to stop it wiping data every time if it has failed to update anyway?)
*ROM

What am I looking for on that post? I have phone rooted.
The AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a has a locked boot loader and can only run custom ROMs created from a stock Samsung lollipop ROM.
Update:
It was my understanding (perhaps wrong) that Safestrap was a way to work around the locked bootloader (ATT) The video on the main topic on this talks about a Verizon phone even though the topic is specific to the ATT note 3. Are they identical with regard to Safestrap etc?
As of now I have Safestrap installed and working. Boots with open lock/Custom on boot screen.
My confusion arises from conflicting videos at YouTube one suggesting Safestrap won't install a custom ROM followed by another that says it will?!?
If it won't exactly what is the purpose of even installing Safestrap if you are still stuck with the exact same android version and all the ATT bloat?
-edit-
FYI currently phone no SIM not provisioned but was used on ATT then switched T_Mobile service (consumer cellular so I can switch between those two. ATT and T-Mobile service suck here but at least with T-Mobile I have WiFi calling on my J2 which avoids poor signal issue at home. Hoping to move back to Note 3 if a good update can make it Wifi Calling enabled )
So far the only reply here has been to tell my my bootloader is locked. Since instructions include using Safestrap as a work around that really does not help me.
At the start the guide was to upgrade the phone to Android 7. Things seem to break down for my understanding of all this if the only work around is Safestrap and if that cannot install a custom ROM how do I get from here to 7/Nougat?
SIDE QUESTION but important.
Having downgraded from 5.0 to root device, I am not getting a request to accept update from ATT ( back to 5.0 I assume ) which I deferred for now. The question regarding this is, if I permit the ATT push back to 5.0 on my rooted device will I lose that root access and have to start all over again? (Darn I don't want that)
Sigh...so confused.
EDIT
I'm reposting an edit to last because I can't figure out how to get the edit/addition to appear. LOL

So the whole topic of upgrading Note 3 to V.7 is a dead end? I'm stuck with a phone downgraded to KitKat from 5.0 after having rooted etc? Will a custom ROM for lollipop let me delete bloat then upgrade to Nougat?
The whole topic of upgrade to v.7 for note 3 is confusing because after two days of reading and trying options I seem to get no where and cannot even find a definitive answer regarding actually upgrading this phone?
There are no nougat ROMs for the n900a.
Safestrap is only good for certain roms and twrp can't be installed on an n900a with a locked bootloader.
Useless phone?

Okay so I wish the whole topic on installing V7 on Note three just started saying if you have an ATT Note 3
READ NO MORE, all hope is lost!
I read numerous posts on numerous sites telling me I can upgrade this phone and none stated up front ( Does not apply to ATT versions ) leaving me to saving a text file full of instructions, links, a folder of downloaded files etc. all aimed at my N900 phone...none of which is valid.
I guess I will just restore to factory and sell in eBay if it is a useless phone other than to put on ATT or T Mobile as a plain old phone full of bloatware.
That or just load my music library on it and bluetooth it to my stereo as a juke box.
*sigh*

As AT&T has a locked bootloader it has little relevance to Note 3 International model.

So if I obtain an international GSM version I should be able to update ROM?
I don't think the international version supports LTE in North America.
