I'm reading on their website that the handsets are Qualcomm, so no you will not be able to root.

I mean, for now, right? They were working on the Snapdragon and last week even managed to get root access.

I have a freedom s8 and currently there is no root but you can expect a root within the next few weeks. But since the bootloader cannot be unlocked, you cant flash any roms or anything. I would suggest getting an exynos s8 (wifi calling dosent seem to be coming anyways)
All Canadian S8 are SD can't be rooted, Rogers freedom bell MTS Telus XAC etc... all falls under SM-950W or SM-955W. Someone is working on the US version. so soon we can.

I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Sprint and it is Locked to their carrier. But Since i will be using it outside USA i was hoping if this method can unlock it and so i can use any other SIM international. Please point me in the right direction.
Is this just international unlock or domestic?

I'm not sure. I will receive Sprint S6 next some days. I will update after trying this. We will know that soon.
i get the unfortunately ssu.apk has stopped working , any way around this ?
A better way and one that worked is to use the GalaxyTools apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
worked brilliant and sure shot. v3.18 works on lollipop.

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

Hello! If I understand it correctly, after I unlock it, I wouldn't be able to upgrade it.to Lollipop anymore? Am I right? Asking, because after the upgrade it will be locked again.
Thank you!

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

How do you unlock with gt tools
Another solution for this is calling sprint and having them remotely update you prl. The now have free texting and data in some contries i called and had it enabled. Phone# 18552248796 and asked them about the free international roaming. No root required and also works on tw roms.
SSU does not work me
Hi , I'm new to the forum , try to unlock my Note4 and install a customroom and SSU does not work me .
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I tried it with GT but it asks for a control key code. I have no idea what it is...
Recently I purchased a note 3 off ebay to use tell Im available for an upgrade. I'm not sure what software version is on it cause I haven't gotten it. Just have a few questions.
Is the only way you can root is in 4.4.2 ?
If the phone comes can't I downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4 and them to 4.4.2.
Please understand I'm new to Samsung so not sure it all works. Coming from all htc devices like DNA and one max.
Welcvome aboard

no, you can root Lollipop as well.
there are ways to downgrade but you have to be careful...
Look out for threads in General section and work on the method specific to your model (about downgrade)

Thank you for the quick reply is the n900 and n900v the same thing cause !my model coming is the n900v
Do you think I should try to root lollipop before I try to downgrade.
Wouldn't I follow this guide to root and install trwp n custom rom after.

Do not downgrade. Why would you do that?
No it is not the same, flashing other variants roms will brick yours. Or supersu twrp etc.

Could you please link me to an guide on n900V and how to root it on lollipop. Samsung and HTC devices are way different in how to do things and I don't want to screw up. Hopefully you understand.

Verizon version is not rootable, nor does it accept custom recoveries. You better choose another variant, if that is important to you.

Because it has locked bootloader, right?
So there is no way to unlock the bootloader like with Sonys? Like asking for unlock code from Verizon?

You are correct. Samsung phones all come bootloader unlocked, unless the carriers wants them locked (as was the case with Verizon and AT&T for the Note 4).
The locked versions have almost never successfully been unlocked.
So if you can, stay away from these two variants.

Then why are people saying I can root it.... I do know the phone is coming networked unlocked. I find it crazy that if you can't unlock a verizon bootloader that there are roms that support verizon.
So what your telling me is there's no possible way to root even on stock so i can run xposed framework.?

Some firmware versions have vulnerabilities, which can be exploited to gain root/install safestrap. Some versions allow downgrading to vulnerable versions. But not all.
You should check the Verizon forums for more information http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3.

No. Verizon uses CDMA and will not allow 3rd party phones on their network. T-Mobile uses GSM and will NOT work on Verizon network. Period. You MUST use a Verizon branded device on Verizon network.

Why not look in the T-Mobile section for the S7e? There are plenty of threads about rooting the US version of the S7e. I'm on Verizon and have been rooted for about 9 months now.
And you do not need any damn dongle to root the phone either. I didn't. Just note that depending on your current bootloader version you might be out of luck. Again, check the T-Mobile threads...

On my galaxy s7 edge snapdragon phone the oem unlock is not grayed out.. I switched it to on. Is my bootloader unlocked now?
If your S7edge is a UNITED STATES SNAPDRAGON version, you will NEVER be able to unlock the bootloader. EXYNOS or Chinese Snapdragon, YES. USA Snadragon- NEVER.

So the fact that the oem unlock is not greyed out and I can switch it to unlock doesn't make my U. S. phones bootloader unlocked?
. If so why is it not grayed out in developer option?. Thanks for your reply.
If your S7 is US-spec, you CAN NOT unlock the bootloader. Period.
That button you mention does absolutely nothing.
I have nothing else to add.
