I have a rooted SM-N900A and am confused about the compatibility of my device and available ROMs and other flashware out there. A matrix would really help, because I see GN3 goodies on XDA and don't want to flash the wrong thing. Not a lot targeted for 900A specifically.
Obvious to me are the ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon labels. I know I am ATT variant, US, snapdragon, android 4.3, build N900AUCUBMI9.
What I don't know is how code for 900/9005/MJ7/MJ3/MJ6/MJ8/MI7 might affect my MI9. Which are most likely to be compatible with my hardware? And which will most likely brick me?
Regardless if I flash (not sure I'm ready to set Knox 0x1), can someone please recommend a VARIANT COMPATIBILITY GUIDE I can cross-reference? Sticky anywhere? Its not just ROMs, its so I can better follow GN3 threads in general. Thanks!

You can't flash any roms, we have a locked bootloader

I'm pretty sure it can be done using Odin, but it would absolutely void my warranty by tripping Knox flag to 0x1.
Anyone seen a compatibility matrix across variants?

Like stated previously, you can't flash any roms because we have a locked bootloader. Safestrap has been achieved for the Verizon note 3 (also locked bootloader). They're working on our phone...

Go ahead try with Odin. Don't listen to what other people said and then make a post as to why you bricked your phone or why it's all messed up.

I purchased my Samsung Galaxy i957 unlocked 8.9 tab on line from a Hong Kong vendor last year. I love the tab and it works great, but I am confused about what happens if a Galaxy 8.9 upgrade is ever released. Since my tab is an i957 - wifi only- and has the ATT brand, would I get the upgrade from AT&T even though I have no data or phone service with them? If they send it out OTA, would I be able to grab it? Or would I have to go to Sammobile or some other place to get it? I'm assuming that I would have to unroot and return to stock, but beyond that??
Thanks,
Sue
You could get it from sammobile and flash it with odin. You would lose root. Did you root the device? If so then it'd be easy to re-root as you've done it before.
OTA won't work since you are rooted.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I rooted and am currently using Danno_Rom. I don't mind re-rooting so I guess I just need to sit back and wait for somebody to release the upgrade. Thanks again.

Nrvate's rom is cm 10 based if you want jb now. But I've found the stock, rooted ics runs just about as good. You have arm i957, right because nrvates is for the i957.

just to be clear,there's no danger of tripping knox until at least a 4.3 update right?
so if I root now,and maybe put a rom on later (curenttly 4.2) there'll be no trace right?

Just bricked my Sprint S6, and switched to TMO. Is there a method to rooting this phone that does not trip KNOX? Also is there a safe way to root the new software update....?
Thanks in advance
If you're still on 5.0.2 you can use Ping Pong. I believe that if you're on 5.1.1 you're going to trip Knox whatever you do (for now).

So, after reading the forums and internet. We can conclude that att can't flash custom roms/kernel/recovery due to having locked boot loader. Now how does the boot loader become unlocked ? Does someone have to code it ? Or do we have to wait for att to release it?
Sorry if this sounds dumb but just got bored and this subject was stuck on my head

As I recall, the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 was also bootloader locked, but geniuses of the internet created safestrap that ran similar to twrp for flashing/recoveries. I wish something like this would continue in the GS6.
Bootloader doesn't matter for us when it comes to flashing roms compatible with our stock kernels. Flashfire! I'm on my second ROM for test and review on the AT&T S6

Flashfire does wonders. It's like a recovery. But your phone is actually on. ?

I would love to know this as well. Can't find anything for Samsung-SM-G900A Baseband BOC4
EDIT: After reading through a lot of threads I found that there is currently NO DOWNGRADE OR ROOTING METHOD for those on stock OTA 5.0 Lollipop. This for AT&T SM-G900A Baseband OC4.
The s5 on lollipop is completely unrootable

Has to be on 4.4.2
Check with your carrier, they may provide the previous version. I.E. Downgrade. If on original carrier that is.
Now if I did a warranty exchange will it be pre loaded wit oc4 or of4 because I'm hoping not. What are my chances.

Extra slim to none, it'll most likely have most current firmware.
