What is a bootloader and how do I upgrade one?

Hi guys
I bought the Note 3, I'm trying to put TWRP recovery on. But there is a note saying
Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader.​
So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?

Get an app from tge Play store. It's called Info. Here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info
You will find there what you need. Good luck!

Wrong post

Can you check if I have the correct bootloader installed?
I can not make any phone calls at the moment, I get "com.android.phone as stopped" error. Is something wrong with the bootloader, or kernel or the rom or something else?
Please help me. I can not call or receive any calls, I miss talking to my mom.

Hi
Do you have India or China version phone?
If you are using updater app..
Try to unroot (restart your phone!!)
than try...
What I have read, u cant flash 4.4(India update) on china 4.2 rom.
I think u have to flash 4.2 India first and than OTA to 4.4.
Or restore nandroid backup from some 4.4 user.
If I am not right please correct me.

I had a snarky response at the ready, but simply decided you're not worth it. If you want a ROM so bad, learn to make one yourself.

I need just a stock note7 rom (or s7 nougat) because the stock 5.0.1 is very old .

Unless a developer has the phone for testing purposes, there will not be a stable note 7 port.

You're not the only one, same for me and some other Note FE SM-N935F/DS users...
Seems like that only the Korean variant doesn't have this problem as they can just flash the standard TWRP without problems.

Anyone able to boot back to main screen without flashing stock ROM?

So there's no working root method yet for N935F/DS. Seems we have to wait for a year? Hope not. I like their phones but I hate Samsung!

Are your next 10 posts going to be the exact same as this one & the three preceding it?
Try reading the existing threads before posting identical questions/threads, it's not as if there's a lot to catch up on.......

Problems with Samsung Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100

Hi friends,
I have a Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100 bought on Amazon and comes from Hong Kong.
I want to install a ROM with Android 10 or 11 and when I'm running Odin, I get this message on the phone:
Instalation Failure. You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
Do you know what I can do to unlock the phone and let me install the ROM?
Thank you very much for your answer

Hi, I think I have been able to fix the phone locking problem (I am not sure).
Now I have another problem, when Odin is doing the TRW download on the phone, it appears in red letters on the phone: Binary size is too large: recovery
After that the download stops and Odin shows FAIL in red letters.
What can I do?
