I have been out of the root and rom loop for over a year but I'm having to use my old note 3 again. It's a sm-900v (whatever it was from Verizon) and I'm running it on AT&T network.
I just need to find roms that work for this device because I updated through kies and got lollipop but the dialer is absolutely not functional. If someone could take a minute or two and show me where to go for this old phone, I will love you forever. Lol
Ugh please delete. Wrong forum. I can't figure out how to.

Omg so I let this guy root my phones cuz I was a tad bit scared to myself lol. After he did I started messing around an loving it! But the I ACCIDENTALLY (I think) messed with system U I an bricked my phone. It wouldn't leave the Yellow Sprint Logo an was terrified! I learned about Factory Reset an how it erases everything, but come to find out my Google+ is constantly show up sayin, "unfortunately Google+ is responsive," or whatever. Then I CAN SYNC INTO ANYTHING! So can't get old photos, contacts, ect. Any time I TRY AN SYNC it says ( See pic below) that. So I've been looking on how to fix it an come to these 3 reasons why my phone is having these problems:
1) Tweaked around an messed with the System U I
2) I'm still on the original 4.4.2 version of I believe kit kat
Or 3) can't remember atm..lol smh
I also can't update my supposedly outdated Google Play Store and have this Icon (See pic Below). An cuz when I use certain apps I get a pop up that says "Needs Root Access," or whatever, EVEN AFTER I FACTORY RESET! So I downloaded a few Root Checkers and they ALL said I'm NO ROOTED! So it's like I'm Rooted but Very Limited....After 4+ Flipping Months of research I've come to POSSIBLE REASONS WHY IT'S MESSING UP AN SHEET:
1) Still on the Original 4.4.2 kit kat and needs Update (Since Idk I didn't get Updates after Rooting)
Or 2) I need to Restore my Firm and Softwares like I just got it from the store.
I'm I right?!?! PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!!! I LOVE ANDROID BUT CUZ OF THIS IT'S MAKIN ME HATE IT!!!

Good luck!
Hey everyone, I been looking around the forums here and other sites and have learned a lot of info in pieces but I really need help with a particular issue. A friend of mine gave me a Sprint Galaxy SM-G900P (Galaxy S5) which is (of course) CDMA with GSM compatibility. Im unsure at the moment what service he was wanting to use but I know it is a GSM carrier (US) because he has a SIM he wanted to use. I owe him a favor so I told him I would try. Besides going the route of purchasing a unlock box and unlocking the phone with that, I discovered the SSU apk which SIM-Unlocks the phone. I downgraded the phone from Lollipop 5.0 stock to Android 4.4.2 KitKat (G900PVPU1ANE5) with ODIN. (FYI, i was stuck in download mode with no recovery mode for a week before finally getting one to work, and so happen to be that version that went through)..... I downloaded SSU and it unlocked the phone and I switched mobile network mode from CDMA to GSM Units. (NOTE: it says 4.4.2 and up will not work with USA carrier SIM cards without downgrading the Modem but I have not tried just yet) Im about to Root the phone but here is where my question comes in. I have read of people flashing roms to get their phones to work with certain carriers and other functions. Will rooting help me out at all? I guess IM asking if there is a ROM that I can flash onto the phone to enable the use of whatever carrier he is wanting to use with it. I know thats most likely useful in the situation, but Im awaiting that answer as we type. ANY help would be greatly appreciated ))) Thank you all.
Anyone? :/
TL;DR Help a newbie with upgrading my rooted Note 3 from 4.4.2 to a more current version please. I'm old and dumb and really tried to find an answer before embarrassing myself on a forum of experts. Knowing me, the answer is probably right under my nose. Go easy on me <3
Hey guys,
I used the search function on this site and on google but was unable to find what I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile. I have Android aversion 4.4.2 and my model number is SM-N900T.
I rooted my phone using a guide I found on youtube to get superuser for the purpose of being able to play emulators on my phone, such as Snes9x EX+, Nostalgia.NES Lite, ePSXe, etc. They all work great. I am not using a custom ROM.
The problem I'm facing is that I don't understand if I need to unroot (correct term?) my phone and just get the auto updates, or to download and install them manually, but I'm unable to receive auto updates over the air as I'm sure you guys would know since this is your hobby and are versed in this sort of thing. I don't even know how to do either really properly but am not afraid to try.
The reason I'm wanting to upgrade now (which might be completely unrelated) is that I haven't been receiving text messages from either my sister or my roommate, whom both of their last messages were received by me on Aug. 5th. I tried contacting my carrier and they said they didn't detect a problem. Both of their carriers said the same thing (one being T-Mobile as well). I guess this is just another step in troubleshooting but I would like to believe this is a network issue.
Any advice would help and would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Thanks. I couldn't find that subsection in the app but then again it seems to be having lots of issues since it force updated.
I cannot believe a phone this 'old' is so hard to find a successful root for; with the amount of bloatware that comes with it - its crazy.
If anyone can help me find a root method that still works for Android 7.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S7 930A
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. Its bugging me I have been searching for 2 days now..
Until Samsung pulls their head out of their ass and unlocks the bootloader, we'll never see any further development for custom roms or root on the snapdragon version of the galaxy s7. Only other option is to get the international version (g930f) which has the unlocked bootloader and exynos processor.
I'm not sure that it is Samsung that requested phones with a locked bootloader. I believe it is the carriers that want a locked bootloader.
T-Mobile was the last carrier to issue phones with a locked bootloader.
So nobody with AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 has root?
Why so many forums that used to exist??
Willing to help...
It took a lot of digging but I was able to get my 930a successfully rooted and stable. I would be happy to assist (with what very little I know) and see if we can't figure it out. I used almost all links from XDA, if not all, but it did take a little time to put it all together. I had to flash the 930u firmware and then I had to play around with a few things. But I was successful and it does work and it is very stable. Let me know if I can help, I am going to totally unroot and reroot mine again so I will be going through the process all over anyways. Would love to be of some help, this is actually my first post on XDA so figured what better time to jump in. Take care
