Are there really only 2 roms? Just traded my note 7 for this.. Are people just rooting and keeping stock?

I like many, I think, gave up our root status for the nougat beta which is not rooted.
Problem is the bootloader and recovery are locked down on the snapdragon US version of the phone.
Root sure was nice but the nougat beta is sweeter at the moment in many ways.

Anyone have a feel if we will be able to root the note3 on VZW?
Depends, how is your progress going on a device that hasnt even been released yet?

I think you can better ask @Chainfire about it ...
.
Root is one thing,changing roms,recovery,kernel another
I know cf is doing anything he can and I really appreciate that

I know its easy to be an armchair spectator, but I have confidence that Chainfire will get us root on the GN3. Its bootloader unlock and the ability to get custom recovery I feel may not happen on certain carriers (AT&T, Verizon). Still root does a lot to make the phones even more useful.
I just got this note 3 and find out there's no root for it..well I have a few questions if I can't root root as of now I seen there's a downgrade for it to 4.4.4 well will that help battery life?? This thING will only last like 3 hours with everything off and very minimal screen time...and I can anyone point me to where this down grade is please, I have looked and can only find talk about it but no links

You may have a battery that's outlived its usefulness. They only last a year or two.
5.0 is supposed to better battery life than 4.4.4
You can locate 4.4.4 on sammobile.com and use the latest version of Odin to flash your Note 3.

temp root. they won't get perm root.
As long as I can us xposed...remove bloat and like 10 other apps I need root for...I don't care mush for roms anymore I use too when I had my Droid eris and htc thunderbolt but now I just like the stick with mods...I love this 5.0 but it's make me hate it without root...my note 2 had cap battery life before I rooted then rooted and tons of mods I had it lasting just under 2 days from about 5 hours...and I use greenify on the note 3 but without root it kinda sucks..

Also there is most likely more support for the n4 the the n3 since it's older

Anyone had a problem with not getting call? I had a problem on my s3 then switched to the note 2 and had none at all..but now again I seem to be haven this program..I was reading could be the 5.0 update? A friend of mine who has a note 3 I rooted about a year ago got ahold of me and wants to trade phones since he's still on 4.4.2 and I can them use the rooted 5.0 and he really don't use and or need root anyway he just want 5.0 so I'll probably do that soon
If you need root, it's best to wait for a newer phone that is rootable and go that route. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not jumping on anything for a replacement until I see it has root, then I'll buy. Personally I'm waiting to check out the new Moto X that has a SD card. Not going with a new Note due to it lacking that. My two years with the N3 is up in Oct so sometime around then I'll figure it out I hope, otherwise I'm sticking with my rooted, 128gb sd carded still working fine as hell N3....
So, we would have to revert to an older version of Android before we could root? Kingo won't work with a 5.0 Verizon note 3?

Edit: as the phone has a locked bootloader, it gets more complicated.
You'd have better luck on AT&T's Note 3 section than here. We have locked bootloaders, and have to use a couple workarounds to get rooted on LP.
Here's the thread for stock rooted LP 5.0 OC2
Basically, you have to Odin back to NC2 (official), root/bb/su/etc., reboot into safestrap & flash the ROM above.
Darn, I had no idea that ATT was still doing that.
Thanks guys... my original note was easy to root this one not so much

why can't anyone seem to crash m into this phone. I got the root but not any roms that work.. is it harder then the others
Very few devs have this sprint phone. Most got note 5. I'm guessing it will have limited options for the forseeable future.

I have a galaxy S5 for VZW and well they figure out how to unlock the bootloader using a DEV edition Bootloader!!

So is this possible with our devices?

I'm no expert, but with two years of advancement, I'm sure there's going be some hurdles in implementing that into this version, but man, I'd love to see it happen.
