[Q] Using the note 3 as a tablet - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a note 3 that I want to use just as a tablet. There's no service so just wifi. What would be the best version of android and rom to get for it? I haven't rooted an android in a long time (since my nexus 1) so a link to a 1 click root would be nice. Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention I have the SM-N900P (Sprint)

[Q] Stock Note 3, need to go back to jellybean from kitkat!!

I apologize if this has been asked before. I have tried searching here for answers already with no luck.
SO...My Note 3 is completely stock. I have a rooted Nexus 7 with Super User access and Clockworkmod and a few other things that's installed in my car. I'm mostly a noob with this kind of stuff until recent, but still a noob. I MUST have Foxfi working on my phone so I can tether it to the N7 unless there's another way I can tether the N7 to my Note 3. I didn't know I'd lose foxfi when installing KK OTA. Of course it updated months ago but I haven't needed to tether my phone in a long time so I was already practically done with the N7 install in my car when I found out I can't tether to it like I planned. Can anyone PLEASE HELP! I'm probably $700 or more into the N7 install in my car and can't turn back now

There will be a different tethering app available, but you won't be able to go back to 4.3 on your Note since you have upgraded your bootloader (at least not for the foreseeable) -It's simply impossible at this moment in time.
On N9005 variant, it is impossible to revert from KitKat to Jelly Bean due to bootloader restriction.
Thank you guys for your feedback. All I really care about is tethering to my tablet, so as long as I can do that I don't care about going back to jellybean.

-should/can I install this leaked lollypop am seeming.
(how would I root it, would it have native wifi support)

Do NOT take OTA update for the very reason you have described. OTA will put you on 4.4.4 which their is no released root for yet. All other ROMS right now are based on the 4.4.2 version that was previously on our devices.
You can NOT installed leaked Lolipop ROM as that is not for our device. We will have to wait for our carriers version or possibly a port.
Once you get your device you should be able to root using Towelroot which is just a simple .apk that you sideload and run. https://towelroot.com/
Then go to this thread and install Safestrap which is the Recovery we use for our device since our bootloader is locked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
Follow those instructions and then you should be able to go into the Development section and load up a custom ROM. I also HIGHLY advise you take some time and read thru some threads before diving into this to educate yourself before you break something.

-according to YouTube , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6aRSt2rB5I , there is a leak for N9005 (this Verizon?)...
-an other option for me is to get the developers edition note 4, my question is if I do the OTA update for lollypop would I still have an unlocked boot loader and be able to root ? thank you

-No that ROM you linked to in the video is NOT for our device. That was for the international version. I believe Poland or something like that.
-Do not know about the Note 4. Would take that question to that forum. But OTA update on regular Note 3 for Verizon WILL remove root and bootloader was never unlocked.
new phone tonight

Root and you can disable this or use a custom rom.
Rooted method:
Download "disable service" from Play Store
Open it
Go to System Apps
Find Google Services Framework and tap it
Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Restart your device.

Thank you very much all worked perfectly, I had an issue when installing superuser removing knox seemed to hang, but I restarted the phone and all was well. on my old Motorola rooted phone I used Android-wifi for free wifi, is this also recommended for my new note 3 or do you recommend another option.

Hey I disabled the service but its been 12hr later and that update window has come up again, I looked and is show that the box is unchecked...
If i were you I'd look at a dev note 3 developers edition that way no locked boot loader and you can rom way more than on regular note 3 if someone posted this my apologies I did not read everyone's post. Thanks

[Q] Rooting At&t Note 3 with android 5.0

Hey everyone I want to root this phone. Does anyone have a good tutorial on doing this? I have not rooted anything since my original Note and want to get back in the game and need a refresher
Thanks XDA
The easiest way is to do cyanogenmod installler and it installs the stock rom and root. If u only want root go to
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and find your model number make sure it says the right software verision. If it doesnt have note 3 on lollipop try kingo root.

Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 update?

I have an old galaxy tab 2 and don't want to let it go yet. The last update it got was the KitKat update, is there any reliable custom Roms to get more out of this old tablet?

Need help, not a Newb, but feel like one

Hey folks, I've been here (on XDA) a long time and used to be knee deep in understanding rooting and flashing ROMs, but it's literally been 4 years since I've been around, and I need to upgrade my current Note 3 (Verizon) to Android 5 (if Android 5 runs well on it) OR I need to simply root my Note 3 so I can flash a faster moving ROM.
It's been awhile, I looked at the stickies, and while I still understand the "language", I don't get the process.
Can anyone help me out and point me to only the tried and true methods of either upgrading to Android 5 (off Carrier, I have the phone on Cricket now) OR on how to root and flash a new ROM? (and which ROM is simply a good, fast, stable ROM)
Many thanks for any and all help!

Presuming you are on a pure stock Verion Note 3 (but using a Cricket SIM)... THEN you can go get the last OS/Firmware release for Verizon from sammobile.com (you have to be a member to download.. But membership is free). The release is OF1 and is Lollipop (Android 5.0)
You'll need Odin to Flash it from a PC.

You can just do stock firmware update. There is an unlock and root method on here. Root is easy just need a place and a program u get on here there are YouTube videos for unlocking bootloader and also a post here on how to do it on here
Awesome! Do you know if the battery drain issues was ever fixed?

With Stock... Yes, OB6 had issues, OF1 seemed to have fixed them. The firmware on sammobile.com is not an OTA, so you will/should wipe data first, then reload your apps. At the least.. Factory reset before you flash via Odin.
