Same problem with me.I have the same korean varient with LG u+ logo. I am using it in Pakistan. Read almost every thread regarding korean variants but there is'nt any method specific for SM-N900L.

So are you wanting to flash a custom recovery e.g. twrp and then install a custom rom?
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Do you have a custom recovery and is your mobile rooted?

Hello Hokage-Sama,
i think the custom recovery installed is TWRP
did some further searching online and i was able to restore the firmware from lollipop down to kitkat, from there i was able to download a md5 file which i ran from Odin and i was able to root the phone however, its based on kitkat and im still searching if there are any for lollipop and the only one i see if the 1 poser who asks for a $25 payment to update a N900L to N9005.
... was hoping if i can use Aryamod custom rom but i think my phone should be on a rooted lollipop under N9005 model only.
hope this made sense
thank you

Root is not required to install a custom rom.
If your phone can run 9005 ROMs, you could try editing the updater script to include your phone.

hi, thanks for the reply
apologies i dont know what you meant to edit hte updater script.
Sorry i have a N900L and based on reading some other threads only
DarkLord Note 5 RC2.1 or Phronesis v5.1 will work on my unit.
before installing the rom i should have a custom recovery right? but to get a custom recovery my bootloader needs to be unlocked first.
i am currently stuck on unlocking my bootloader, i downloaded samsung usb drivers, go to recovery mode, then insert the usb on the phone, i hear a sound when you connect a device on the pc and saying that the device is ready to use but i am unable to see the contents of my phone.
am i doing it correctly?
thank you once again

Are you sure the phone's bootloader is locked? If the bootloader is not locked, do not use any unlocking apps because this will proably brick the phone.
Just install TWRP from Odin. I don't recommend Philz Touch or CWM as I don't they have been updated for a while.

i tried the twrp custom recovery based on the link you sent above thru Odin, it messed up my custom recovery, when i tried to go there it said something like unable to load recovery and goes to download mode and the phone wont startup normally.
is that a sign that my bootloader is locked since i cant install the custom recovery?
used my standard backup recovery to bring back the phone.
i wonder how other SM-N900L users installed their roms.
any other help would be greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

When you flashed twrp, did Odin say the installation was successful?
Download the tar version of twrp for your device from here: twrp.me .
In Odin, do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash twrp and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, now use button combination to boot into recovery.

thanks for the help, was finally able to install twrp custom recovery. the latest version wont work on SM-N900L, i used TWRP-2.8.6.0-N900S version and it worked! im now running on Darklord N5 custom rom for Note3 and loving it!!!

galaxy note 4 s-lte(SM-N916L)

Does anyone know about this model? No one seems to know..
I have one problem. At the moment there are several ways to root galaxy note4, including philz recovery and cf auto root. However, as far as i know it works for only note4 model sm-n910 line. However in korea, upper model for n-910 is released, known as sm-n916 line. Both model have the same hardware and software specs, the only difference is their network connection specs. (N916 has faster and improved data lte connection) . Now the problem is that i have n916 model, and rooting for this device does not work with the method that can root n910 model. I thought it would work because everything software and hardware specs are the same. I am really frustrated because i cant root ㅜ.ㅜ
It's only been a month or twice since its release. The exact model is SM-N916L(LG U plus phone carrier. Alphabet that comes after 916 represents differet phone carriers. S is for skt, and K is for Kt, L is for Lg uplus). It is a upper model for SM-N910L galaxy note 4. You can see that SM-N910L model is present in autoroot([email protected]@eu) but not the upper model SM-N916L. Any ways i could help the developers to enable rooting for this device? perhaps finding you the stock firmware? Demand for this device than previous note4 n910 will increase. Really hope to root this device.
Could i get any help? (Btw i am living in korea using korean model). Really willing to donate if i could root this model!
hope i can get a reply as soon as possible. Have a good day~

Make a backup before and if something goes wrong you should have the firmware files at hand to revert changes, you will be responsible for anything you do with your device.​

The recoveries were never meant for Marshmallow since those devices were running Android Lollipop.
The Android Marshmallow update for those devices had come out much later on.

General link pooling (2.8.7.0 and 3.0.2.0) for the SLK N910_N915_N916, of which there are 2 types :
File zip => flash through recovery
File tar => flash via Odin (from flash recovery 2 times)

Have a spare Verizon Galaxy S5 would like to use it as a testing / sandbox phone

So I have a spare Verizon Galaxy S5 that I want to use as a test / sandbox / play device with Lollipop without harming my normal phone. Questions I have:
1. Safestrap or Flashfire? I'm leaning towards flashfire only because it seems to have some development and support behind it.
2. Can flashfire be installed in the stock slot like safestrap?
3. I am currently on rooted NE9, do I go up to Lollipop first then root then install safestrap or flashfire?
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Flashfire will be the future over safestrap, but the beta version has expired so you can use Safestrap in the mean time.
First you need to root your device (make sure you use Odine 3.09 as stated in the instruction).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g900vvru1ane9-t2836201
Then upgrade to BOC4 lollipop. (Stock TW modified - the most bug free rom).

no root for my phone !!

I'm using grand prime sm-g531h
but I can't find a compatible root file for my version "g531hxxu0apc2"... I've tried the only version available but it fails ... what can I do ?!

This isn't really where you want to post this. You should ask in the device board (section of XDA) specifically tailored to your particular device. This section of XDA is more for a set of applications and a framework which modify devices (xPosed)

I'm currently using firmware aol1 (PC2 is the newest I believe) with root.
Once you update your phone and flash twrp you should be able to flash the latest supersu.zip then installed supersu or superuser from the play store with no issues.
However downgrading to aol1 (the previous build) via Odin and then flashing twrp and supersu.zip will give you root for sure.

AT&T Note 3 N900a Root + Custom roms?

Hi guys,
Been out of the loop for a while with galaxy phones. Just got a note 3 for at&t and trying to see if I can root and install the latest phronesis rom, or any other custom rom. Here is my system information:
Build number: LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC2
Android version: 5.0
I've heard of safestrap setup and rooting, but can you install any custom roms such as marshmallow?
Sorry if its been asked 1,000 times. Please advise, thanks guys!

You can do anything you set your mind to -Eminem

First you must get ODIN which is a program from Samsung
GET Odin HERE : 3.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
How to use ODIN: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/
Second you must get the Marshmallow ODIN files for 4.4.2 Which are as follow....
BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602
AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890
CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603
CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604
Using this will revert you back to the N900AUCUCNC2, OPEN ODIN AND RUN THE FILES ACCORDINGLY
Third, In order to easily root I found KINGOROOT TO BE THE EASIEST.. Make sure you enable USB debugging
http://www.kingoapp.com/
BUT you can Also Use TOWEL ROOT: https://towelroot.com/
Fourth Install Super User from GOOGLE PLAY:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....supersu&hl=en
open it and run it
Fifth, Install Busy Box
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
open it and install it
Sixth, Install Safestrap by transferring the APK from your PC to the device and running it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=7216
Seventh you can pick a Rom from Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development

Hi Felix,
Thanks so much for the response. Yep, I came across this to root and go to a custom rom of lollipop, but it seems there isn't a Marshmallow rom available for AT&T note 3 due to a locked bootloader.. :/ sigh
