Hi all. I have tried searching and looking through posts here but haven't been able to find anything specific for this.
I am thinking about upgrading to the V20 but the one thing holding me back right now is root.
I am not really interested in custom roms and don't really think I would need twrp. I would just be looking for stock but rooted.
I have seen several posts for the unlocked US996 and the mentions that they are not interchangeable, but nothing for the US Cellular version root yet. Has anyone tried root for it yet or know if it will ever be available?
Thanks.

I used this method to unlock the bootloader. What can I do now? Are there any recommended mods? Also, what is this about google roms and aosp?
Mods? help me out here, what rom are you running? I think you are talking roms correct?
So you have loki installed, and you are rooted. Are you wanting to try a custom rom.
I am lost here, talk to us.
PLEASE PLEASE start here....

okay, i read the noob guide. thanks for the link. What does a ROM do if you install it?
Hello everyone. Sorry, I'm new to rooting and the forums, but I tried searching around the threads, both here and the AT&T Note 3 threads, and I couldn't find anything about rooting AT&T version of the phone. If anyone could link me to a thread that will let me root this, please post here, or if it's unrootable, please let me know, I tried searching for it.

The only ways to root mj5 is kingo or vroot which currently isn't allowed on the forums due to the suspicion of them containing malware.
N900AUCUBMJ5 Root yet?

I am wondering that same thing. I have 4.3 now rooted and getting rid of root seems unthinkable. The Note 3 is so powerful when properly setup, however the only way to set it up is having root functionality. I hope something comes soon because the build I keep seeing for N900AUCUMJ5 is buggy from what I read thus far. I can not wait for a stable root.

1. Questions should go in Question and not in General.
2. For N900A actually the best place is Questions under

Good morning guys, Please pardon my ignorance if you find anything dumb about this post, I just switched back to Android yesterday.
I want to side load 4.4.2 on my Verizon Note 3 Using Odin. I found this write up here --
http://androidcentral.us/2014/01/update-galaxy-note-3-to-android-4-2-2-kitkat/
A couple of things that concerned me were it has to be factory unlocked. "Make sure your phone is factory unlocked. It is compatible for both users". Being that it is global ready does that mean it is "unlocked"?
I know I should root but being that I just got it I want to make sure there is not anything wrong with it first etc as I heard once rooted its irreversible and Samsung would know (correct me if I am wrong).
Any follow up insight would be great thanks guy.
First question. Are you with Verizon? If yes, is the the developer edition? If no, then DO NOT FLASH THIS. The link you posted is for the international version of the note 3. Being able to use a Verizon n3 globally via adding that plan does not make it unlocked.
Also. There are a few other threads on this same exact topic.

If it is a developer edition. I know there ate more ROM options available for you to choose from. I think cm11 has been released, but I'm not sure. Search around.
I hope I caught you before you tried anything.

If you were to flash that it would most likely brick your phone. Just because you root your phone doesn't mean that it's permanently rooted or that "samsung will know". It's not hard to get rid of root access either. If you have never rooted a device before I suggest you do a little research on how to root your specific device before you start. There are a lot of write ups on XDA and other sites that will provide some very helpful information. I've read countless posts of people who rooted and started messing with files that they didn't know what they were for and ended up with a paperweight for a phone, all because they didn't take the time to search and read the forums first.
It's been awhile sense ive been on here. While I was here there was a different guy working on the cm12 port and with that he spent a lot of time getting GSM working on the Sprint version. Now it's someone else and its for all variants so its been really difficult to find out what the process is. For most phones you have to do something special before flashing but it didn't seem that way last year when I had the phone. I want to give it to my daughter's mother who is on gsm straight talk. After rooting the device could I simply just flash any custom rom and gsm is instantly available or is there another step I'm missing. Ive searched a bit through the Q&A and general but because all variants share the same section I can't find a direct answer for my Sprint model.
Could someone please direct me in the right direction

1- You root the phone
2- You use this (easiest way): http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396
3- You flash what you want
& next time, post question in the Q/A thread please.
Thank you! But to be clear. after rooting and flashing the recovery I can use any gsm sim and I don't have to do anything special, it'll just work (beyond me inputting the appropriate APN)
Yea sorry about not posting in Q&A.

Hello everyone!
I've been looking around on the forums lately and normally with every device I've had with AT&T, the bootloader has been locked and I can't do anything about it. But after looking through everything I'm assuming that something happened and now, by using T-Mobile's firmware, we can upgrade to Nougat?
I've been trying to find an official guide on how to go about doing this, as I'm not 100% confident in myself to wing it lol. I have experience with installing custom roms and recoveries and rooting in the past, but it has been awhile.
Would it be at all possible for someone to make a full list with step-by-step instructions (and links to all the downloads) on how to go about doing this? (As well as the link to the stock firmware in case something goes wrong)
I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
I'm currently on the stock firmware 6.0.1 Marshmallow (G935AUCS4APK1) with the November 1st security patch.

this is the exact opposite of a productive answer
in fact it's not even an answer
so uh....thanks? I guess I'll wait for some actual help.
Go to the guides news and discussion forum for the att s7 edge. It's got a few threads that will tell you exactly what to do.

I would like to know this as well.... I must be blind as I have not seen a single detailed tutorial or anything. I would like to update my At&t s7 edge (6.0.1 to Nougat). However, as I'm new to this I do not want to screw my phone up x).
If anyone would mind helping out that would be great as I've been looking and looking. Not seeing that there's any possible backup like TWRP's for the At&t s7 edge, I don't really want to risk anything.

Download, place on SD, boot to recovery and update from SD. You must be on att APK1 firmware. Also no apps disabled on phone with manager or any third party app.
Best bet wipe phone, set up like normal then flash nougat.
No one takes responsibility for anyone's phone. What you do to it is at your own risk. Good luck.
