I want to get a custom rom but im pretty new to bootloader unlocking....i know my phone has it locked because Kingo root was removed on reboot BTW my phone is a note 3 from canada AKA sm-w900w8 (sorry if i posted in the wrong place this is my first time here at XDA)
w900w8 ? n900w8 ?
If it's really locked, don't you think that by now there is tons of info on the web ? The phone is not from yesterday.
Why don't you Read the N900w8 ??? Thread in general section or search XDA .
Bootloader locked sorry I know nothing about that on your model are you sure you have the right model .Boot to download mode to check model .

Question one.
Is your phone a model with a locked bootloader.

Yes
Boot to download mode it will show the actual model of your phone .

The Canadian Note 3 sm-n900w8 does not have a locked bootloader. For a custom ROM, flash TWRP and flash the ROM from TWRP.
The phone doesn't support fastboot commands.
Thanks! once you told me that it really helped thanks audit13!

Thanks for the heads-up. No wonder when I tried to install ADB & Fastboot, the installation couldn't be completed. Now I can root with CFAR and install TWRP on my Canadian Note 3 SM-N900W8 with confidence. :good:

FAQS and GUIDES.are stickied learn the basics .
Baseband is not relevant .
You require firmware not baseband .
So this means I can flash different roms with different baseband?

1. Install this APP.
2. Go to the tab: CSC Code and look for the Active CSC Code.
3. (with computer) Go to Sammobile and look for the 3 letters of your CSC (This will be the original and CORRECT firmware for your device).
4. Download, unzip and flash it via ODIN.
Thanks for the instructions, will try it when I get home

Just pull out the battery and start the phone. If it doesn't boot, try flashing rom via odin (or recovery if rooted.)

Does it reboot again to download mode when you try to exit?
When I remove the battery and put it back it shows firmware update encountered an issue.

It seem that you were trying to downgrade with a locked bootloader(the Sofware Revision of the system you're trying to install is older than the actual system so the bootloader refuse to install it)and as far as i know the AT&T bootloader can't be unlocked so it's impossible to downgrade to a firmware whit older Software Revision ..Reinstall the latest firmware with odin.
P.S: was you trying to downgrade to use towelroot exploit?
As long as you haven't connected it to a computer and sent anything to it you can just take the battery out... if you have tried sending an os to it and it locks up mid download then as far as I know you're screwed (in lack of a better word)

As long as the bootloader is still OK you can re-flash.
It is like non downgrable device reflash lastet stock rom with odin and phone booting again :victory:
If I had this screen too, I hade to download the kies 3 software and follow the steps they told. Works pretty well after getting a little practice

Once unlocked it will always be unlocked. The status can be hidden but as far as motorola is concerned it's always unlocked.

I used ur method that u posted earlier.
Sorry I can't show u the log files as I have formatted my hard drive.
How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0

Ah, now that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

I know that it cant have its bootloader unlocked but it can install stockroms using safestrap.
If its possible please reply, I am asking because im bored of the crapy version of touchwiz of the s5.

Download PB1 for the verizon galaxy s5 and download odin. There is a link where the rooting process is explained. Then download the s7 phoenix rom for locked bootloader galaxy s5 then flash it using safestrap. The rom is excellent
