Before I get into my inquiry if there has already been a thread asking this please feel free to drop the link below.
So for about 3 weeks I've been researching that the n900v can be used on T-MOBILE US service because it has the bands for LTE service. I've also seen that some t-mobile ROMs have been up and running on n900v.
My question is, is the inability to root for lollipop preventing us from having more ROMs than just KitKat (And the lone lollipop ROM), or is there a lot of bugs when cooking a T-Mobile ROM to be a daily driver for the n900v?

Verizon note 3 on Lollipop will NOT take any other ROMS. You can only liad Verizon stock ROMs.

Hmmz so something in lolli and marshmallow stopped the n900v from working with other ROM variants. That sucks

Hello all,
Although a very experienced flasher and one point of time used to mod roms for symbian I seemed to be kinda confused of the note 3 i just bought.
I have this variant of note 3 n900w8 probably telcel /tigo and i got via ebay. I bought it cause I heard n900w8 is the best modder friendly device out of the available.options and also I plan to use the same in Canada.
As you can see in the attachement its on android 4.3 and I am planning to update kit kat and root it. Since its a mexican variant and I am.moving to Canada should I flash the canadian rogers/bell stock rom or the telcel one? Also should i root before flashing or not?
Incase Canadian firmware would be okay to flash, will the device work with Indian 2g/3g where I am currently at.
Thank you
Bump !! Any one please ??

Read first the threads in General about the W8, specifically those that talk about the "invulnerable" or "friendly" bootloader.

Hi, I have allready done that. You see I am thinking of flashing stock Canadian fw on Mexican device because I am moving to canada. I just wanted to confirm is that allright .
I would love to install KK 4.4.4 from sprint on my international N9005. Is this possible?
I'm not talking about an note 4 port or something that could be more than buggy. I currently use inofficial CM12, so my bootloader is unlocked and knox is tripped anyways. I wouldn't mind if LTE doesn't work because it's not supported on my carrier plan, but I would highly appreciate a rom that's more stable than the cm nightly builds that I used for the last 3-4 months.
Hi u can install the tmobile version of sprint 4.4.4 that is located in tmobile android development. Its by Allenjthomsen. And also use the sprint 4.4.4 kernel which is avalaible there.
I'm new here but have been following xda for years. I'm not new to rooting or flashing custom roms but after a few days of searching I can't find an answer to the following question.
I have and unlocked Verizon Note 4 n910v running Android 4.4.4 on the Cricket (AT&T) network. If I'm going to install a custom rom, do I need to find a rom for Verizon or for AT&T? Also can anyone clear up the rumor about a locked bootloader on this device? Any help would be awesome!
If you have already unlocked the bootloader on the 910V, I'm not too sure what rumor you are referencing regarding a locked bootloader ::
As far as roms go, it's a Verizon device so you need Verizon roms and firmware.

For ROMs, you must install verizon ROMs because the phone uses verizon-customized hardware.
It is no rumor that this device comes with a locked bootloader. However, thanks to the talented devs here at XDA, there is now an official way to unlock the bootloader; but you have to update to Lollipop 5.1.1 and BPA1 baseband.
I'm using a T-mobile sim in my verizon note 4 without unlocking the bootloader on lollipop and BPA1, so you shouldn't worry about your sim not working after updating. Have fun!
you have a misunderstanding of unlocked. what you are referencing is that you are using the factory unlocked gsm portion of the modem in the verizon model phone. you are NOT bootloader unlocked as you are still on 4.4! if you want to truly unlock it (as in the bootloader) then you will need to upgrade to 5.1.1 (BPA1) via odin. There are several tutorials on how to achieve this, and unlocking (including one that i wrote on the main thread).
to answer your question about using a verizon rom or a t-mobile rom, you can try any snapdragon rom that you would like, but there is NO GUARANTEE that they will work as each developer compiles with or without certain components. what ever you do, do NOT try to flash other carrier (at&t, t-mobile, sprint, etc.) firmware. BIG NO NO! although you claim to have experience with rooting and flashing roms, i would advise you to ALWAYS stick with the carrier variation of whatever device you are working with until you get a better understanding of the different components to a phone i.e. bootloader, modem, rom, etc. xda-university has a nice explanation of these things. so go read up on these things. if you need help, feel free to ask.
Thank you for everyone's advice. Upgrade to lollipop via Odin and bpa1. Got it. As far as custom rom goes, use a Verizon carrier custom rom.
It's been awhile since I have owned a Samsung and I'm about to get a Note 4 so I was wondering what Android 7.0 Roms are out that will work with the AT&T Snapdragon model. I see Roms for all the international models and even the T-Mobile variants but I don't see anything for the AT&T variant. I will have to brush up on my flashing and Rom'ing skills as it's been too long since I have done it but I am familiar with doing all this. Thanks guys.

There is no custom ROMs for at&t model to be honest. At&t lock there devices down completely so at present there is no root, no twrp and no ROMs. Dont think there ever will be
callumbr1 , yeah, I have been doing allot of research and it's very disappointing. But there is always getting a t mobile device unlocked and still being able to enjoy some Nougat love.....
I have 2 N900V phones with Alliance roms with safestrap on both. , wifes phone has a a bad switch so i bought a used N900V on Swappa. The phone came with TWRP installed so i flashed Alliance rom and everything works on except it is stuck on 3G. have tried most suggestions i could find and nothing works. So i thought it might be the rom, thought i remembered reading some where that Alliance rom may not work on TWRP. I installed Android 8.1]LineageOS 15.1 which works ok but still no 4G. The phone has a 4G back cover and model numbers are newer than my other 2 phones. Any ideas? Thanks for any help, my wife loves this phone Also i tried my sim card and both sim cards are new.
You require the Note 3 Verizon forum .
