Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?

Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

All you have to do is flash Phiz recovery via PC Odin to give you a custom recovery. Here's the tar
However if you own Mobile Odin PRO, and since you say you are rooted, you can flash the .tar through Mobile Odin PRO. [just make sure it's updated to latest version]; then select 'recovery' in the options then the .tar.md5 file.
Download Sac's latest on you PC check the md5sum and transfer to you externalSD card, boot to recovery and flash 4.3
Then follow Sac's install instructions. Especially important is the wiping procedure. rlmiller has a good writeup here.
Spend some time reading and searching through the OPs and follow-up posts and you'll do okay.
Good luck.

Did you get it up and running?

Yah you can go back to your stock ROM after custom recovery, doesn't effect ROM.....also you can make a backup just fine

Sweet! Thanks. Can you recommend a stable 4.4 rom?

Paranoid Android, Mahdi, OmniRom, SlimKat etc2 ...
you have to taste them all to know which one suits your requirement but those 4 definitely at the top of the piles

Awesome thanks for all the help!

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?

From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

Custom ROM without root?

Hi,
Is there any way to install any custom ROM without rooting the Galaxy Note 3??
I don't need root because i'm using bank application that works only without root, even if i unrooted after installing the ROM, it won't work.
Thanks

Flash twrp
Then cm12.1 by temasek. He doesn't include root anymore as you have to flash supersu to get root.
Try it. It may work for you.
