Hey folks,
Thinking of selling my Note 4 and migrating from T-Mobile over to Verizon and picking up a used Note 3.
But I'll want recovery and AOSP options.
So which Note 3 should I buy?
From what I can tell, I should NOT buy any Note 3 that has Lollipop.
Can anyone help me focus on which Note 3's are safe to buy then?

Man, thank you so much!
For anyone else reading this in the future, here is a list of firmware for the Vzw Note 3.
I marked in red what we should look for, per davekaz post.

Just so you know.... unless you buy a Verizon Developer Edition Note 3, you won't be able to flash AOSP based ROM's due to the unlockable bootloader on the Retail Verizon Note 3.
As far as recovery options for the retail version, you can use Safestrap. It's a modified TWRP recovery which works with the locked bootloader, but you have to stick with ROM's that work with it, and can't flash AOSP based ROM'S because of kernel incompatibility. You won't be able to flash regular TWRP, CWM, or Philz on a retail Verizon Note 3, even if it's on 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Oh Gheez, I hate safe strap. Thanks for the heads up on it. Ugh.
I looked around but didn't see any developer editions for sale.
I've posted on several adds over at Swappa to find out the baseband version of those phones for sale.
Guess I'll have to live with SafeStrap.
Edit. Found a 4.4.2 retail version for sale.
Put Safestrap on it and flashed AllianceROM 4.4.2 and everything is working better than expected.

I havent had root on this phone as of this date. I intend on doing so and been lurking for a way to get it done.

I found this: Root note 3
However which kernel file should I use for the verizon note 3? And is this method still functional?
Thank you
Found this for the S5 4.4.4 nk2 verizon. S5 nk2 root
anything like this will work for the note 3 on nk1? what kernels to use?
Bumping this thread. I'm in the same predicament. Any options?
Towelroot and framaroot don't work. CF auto root has nothing for us yet. I even tried universal root de la vega, nothing has worked.
At this point I'm desperate enough to try something like kango but even it doesn't support sm-n900v. I give up....I think the Note 4 & it's bounty is attracting the majority of attention.
well i tried to downgrade the kernel to a previous so can root like that and then upgrade the kernel to normal nk1, i let u know
SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1 Root?
bumping in this thread as well i have a SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1 and in the same situation. Any luck on the downgrade?
SM-N900V Root
WOW, looks like this is a common problem these days. I am having the exact same trouble, I can't get mine unlocked, rooted, or anything and i've even tried the paid sites.
Bumping this again. Any news on this yet? Anyone know which kernel files?
bumper too
Bump
P.S. How big of a bounty do you think would be necessary to attract the right people to solve this?
I will donate 100 $
http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t319505.html what if we put this on top of nk1? Can anyone try this and report back?
Bump bump bump. Downgrade kernel. Root upgrade?
Gonna try this tomorrow and report back.

Well you obviously didn't report back. I already know the answer though, it didn't work. If you read it says you need to use SS which isn't even possible with a locked bootloader. I've been trying everything and combinations of everything with no luck. I'm not too worried about bricking as I have 2 unused Note 3s here which are useless to me without root. One was my wifes old phone and another was put together out of spare parts. I even tried ordering a broken phone from eBay hoping it hadn't been updated beyond 4.4.2....it was on 4.4.4. So now I have 2 N900Vs on 4.4.4 with no root/recovery options available.
Hello, I had recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 off a local used phones seller for cheap. Now I am confused on which official stock ROM it should be running.
I come from a fairly easy section of XDA, The Moto G and Xperia Z sections, hence I find it really confusing to get the right firmware..
My main intention is to get to the proper firmware and update it to the latest available. I think my phone and Firmware don't match right now so.
Here is what details I have of this Phone:
Note : I have also found out that some users who bought a Galaxy S4 from eBay or local classifieds also have this problem, having a different firmware from the model they have.

From the info you posted, looks like you have an SGH-I337 with nb1 bootloader and with a custom rom installed from the I9505. The current OS is 4.4.2.
The latest AT&T stock firmware is 5.0.1. To return the phone to fully stock, you need to flash the stock nb1 (4.4.2) firmware, then upgrade to nj4 (4.4.4) or oc3 (5.0.1). You can get everything you need from [GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap.
Before you decide whether to put Kitkat or Lollipop on it, you might want to read this thread.
@creepyncrawly Thank you! Just the answer I was looking for, was really worried about which stock ROM to flash. I have also found out that some people who also buy a used Galaxy S4 from eBay face exactly this.. a device with the wrong F/W. Anyways thanks I will update where necessary.
Edit : Will changing ROMs trip Knox? I can see mine isn't tripped yet (0x0)..

Flashing stock will not change the knox flag. It's most likely irrelevant, because the phone is surely not still under warranty.
@creepyncrawly So will reverting from OC3 to nj1 flag it? I have a friend who wanted to know.

you have to download Samsung drivers first for your not 5 from here or you can search it on xda forum And you have to enable usb debugging
I did, but it is stuck at "Detecting device".
I updated this post with another rooting tools
Any opinions regarding rooting Note 5....
... with respect to Sprint, T-Mobile vs AT&T and Verizon?
Will there be the same problems with Verizon and AT&T Note 5 with locked bootloader as there were with the Note 4s?
Based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016,
maybe all Note 5 versions will behave similarly, since it's just a knock-off off the Galaxy S6 ?!?
Any help appreciated a lot! - Looking to buy next Friday and Sprint is more expensive, but I need some chance of proper root in the not too distant future...

I suppose the guys behind ping-pong root can help us out....

Not unless they find a brand new exploit. The ping ping root exploit has been closed and never open for business again.

How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0

Need some help. Was working on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 and dropped it for a while due to other things coming up in my life (went to hospital for COVID). Anyway, I was working on rooting this Verizon Samsung S5 and when I powered it up, it looks like this.
Anyone know what I'm looking at and how I need to move forward? Should I just start all over? I see the instructions in the forum for that. Should I just start over? Thanks in advance.
I rooted the S5 by buying the Tmobile version as it's way superior and it's close to the G900F.

If you have a CID11 S5 (which you can check by downloading EMMC BrickBug Check on the google play store (or apk)), you are screwed as there is no bootloader unlock for that version of S5. I know as I have this exact model.
