Hi,
i want to buy a new note 4 - the version 910f.
If i update the new phone with stock 4.4.4 rom to the latest 5.1.1 - will there be any problem if i want to install root or anything like this later on? Can i still install custom roms?
I want to now this, becqause if i update my new amazon fire 7 (2015) to latest stock 5.1.1 rom - there is no chance to start recovery anymore for installing custom rom. With only 5.0.1 all is good and i can install custom rom with recovery.
Is there a similar problem with note 4 or can i install latest stock rom and won´t get any problems later?
Only thing i found is that i can´t go back to 4.4.4 when installing 5.1.1? And i can´t go back to 5 when i´m installaing marshmallow because of changing partitions size?
So if i go to stock 5.1.1 it doesn´t matter, because i don´t want to use 4.4.4 and i can still use all stock roms and change to marshmallow later?

No problem if you don't plan to use 4.4.4. Note that if you update to latest 5.1.1
>your bootloader will be locked you can't go back to previous roms or use custom roms which are based on earlier versions such as 4.4.4 custom roms or 5.0.1 custom roms.
>you can still root your phone install custom recovery and install custom roms which have newer bootloaders. However rooting 5.1.1 is bit different because with android 5.1.1 there is an extra security layer in the kernel which detects and stops device from being rooted you need a "permissive kernel" to root 5.1.1. And then you can do whatever you like.
Would it be a better decision to stay on 5.0.1 for the moment and later install 5.1.1 custom rom? To not loose unlocked bootloader?
And one more question: if I deactivate bloatware in application setting off stock rom, is bloatware complete deactivated or is it still running in the background somehow?

You can install 5.1.1 with these bootloaders coj3, coi3, pok1 , coh4 these are safe and won't lock your bootloader. i'd recommend 5.1.1 over 5.0.1 because the difference is day and night in long term use (when u have many apps) 5.1.1 is much smoother and better battery life just don't install coj5 or newer bootloaders. I don't use custom roms because in my experience stock rom is the best custom roms have some bugs etc. If you deactivate bloatware in application settings then its no more running in background.
OK, thank you. But so I should deactivate ota updates and flash latest stock update with Odin, so that I don't get latest locked bootloader?
How can i update to latest 5.1.1 update and keeping the (old) unlocked bootloader?
Do i have to donwload version from smamobile and flash with odin? How can i disallow to update bootloader too?
And if i update with ota - i will get latest (locked) bootlader automatically - no chance anymore to remove it?
-----------------------------
I don´t want to root my phone the first time (because of knox) but later on i maybe want to root too.

There is no way to be sure if the older bootloader will work with latest 5.1.1 rom. So its better to stick with the bootloader which comes with the rom and yes if you update with OTA you will get latest 5.1.1 and bootloader automatically. Just go to sammobile and download 5.1.1 with COJ3, COi3, or POK1 (nordic countries). and Flash with odin.
My Dad recently got a Galaxy S4 on Sprint for work, and he wants to put stock Android on it. Is it possible to put the latest GPE ROM on this phone? And if so, is there a guide? I looked around but could only find instructions for Jellybean.
Root it, flash a custom recovery and flash the rom.
Or skip the rooting and flash a custom recovery directly, then flash the rom. Roms usually come pre-rooted.
if you want pure Android but also the latest look at AOSP roms too...
hi
i purchased a unlocked at&t phone off ebay and it works fine but its on 4.4.2. i want to root and install new custom firmware based on the S6/7 rom - newest android basically that'll work.
What rooting guide should i use and whats the best rom to get it flashed to a UK based rom?
If you are on 4.4.2, do NOT take the OTA update. updating to the official AT&T Lollipop gets you an encrypted bootloader that is unlockable.
look for guides based on 4.4.2. you'll want to install a recovery, then you can flash custom roms.
I am currently running a Verizon Note 3 rooted and unlocked with TWRP recovery. I was looking into installing a 6.0.1 TW based rom but have a few questions first.
The current android version I am running is stock 5.0 with N900VVRUEOF1 baseband and am using Cricket Wireless as my carrier.
I was looking at the Arayamod rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-3-tw-lollipop-5-1-1-t3326976
which recommends the LSS Kernel and a verizon CSC.. Since I am not using Verizon do I need the CSC part of the install or can I just download the Kernel and flash using TWRP after the rom is installed?
The other rom that I was contemplating is the Darklord S7 rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/darklord-s7-edge-note-5-port-6-0-t3361117
The second option here seems like everything is included.
If anyone has any other suggestions or even good kernels for use with the stock 5.0 OS I am all ears.
Many thanks in advance,
DJ

Hi, there. Let me ask one question.
I have Verizon S5 (G900V) with latest Marshmallow Update (6.0.1)
If I root my phone and unlock bootloader like this
Would I be able to install any custom ROM?
By the way, which is the best custom rom out there
which offers good battery life and customisations.
