Hi all,
I recently lost my S7 (cries) and got the phone in the title as a birthday present from my dad. I'm surprised it's not branded Samsung though and I'm worried that none of the custom ROMs or Kernels will work on it? Is the bootloader unlockable, how? If custom ROMs work, is there a newbie guide somewhere? It seems the latest security update is from October 2016, are the custom ROMs better in that regard?
Thanks for reading and any advice you have. And to the devs: amazing work. Thank you so much!!!
Very little for that model.

There are many Lollipops been 'tasted', but my S4(SC-04E) can't work well while I flashed some 5.0 ROMs based on i9505.
I wonder is there any 5.0 ROM can be normally used on my device, or is there any thread containing a lot information of SC-04E.
Anyone have ever tried 5.0 ROMs or kernels for other S4s and successfully get it work. Wishing you could share your experience !
Hoping I could get answer in this forum..
Hey guys I have a Canadian Note 4 and am unsure how to go about rooting it. I have rooted and installed custom roms on various android devices in the past. This time though I am not seeing N910W-8 around the forums very much. Am I simply not seeing something or is my phone model not supported?
Links to the guides and such is all I really need. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton XDA!
Look in the T-Mobile threads.. the W8 is interchangeable with the tmo.. Just need to flash a W8 kernel before you boot.
asking for a friend in the UK...
curious how easy it is to root/mod the S5 for vodafone
or... if there are other options (i didn;t see many on the cyanogenmod website aside from an obsolete huawei u8160)
anyone running those builds, would appreciate any help,
thanks
Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-nemesis-refined-v3-5-n7port-t3587637
I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to root my old S8 that's just been lying around. I haven't rooted a phone since the S4 mini and before that the HTC Evo 3D, so I'm a bit rusty.
I found a thread about the G950W and rooting it, but it now claims to be discontinued. The new thread that was linked only indicates that it's for the G960U.
I also wanted to mention that it has Android 8.0, and I feel like I recall seeing something that said only 7.0 can be rooted? Has this changed? Maybe I didn't look hard enough?
I believe my phone has a Snapdragon processor and I don't recall seeing OEM Unlock under the developer options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

No oem unlock. Still root 7.0 only. Look up extreme syndicate thread and you can root 7.0 from there
So since my S8 has Android 8.0 I'm out of luck then? After looking through the thread I didn't see any mention of G950W or rolling back Android 8.0 to 7.0.
I updated my S8 SM-G950W to android 9 and all the threads I find in forums say android 7 is required/or OEM unlock is required/OR bootloader must be unlocked. I haven't found one starting from android 9 with the Canadian variant with the bootloader locked. Any thoughts on what to do from here?
