So I finally decided to jump in and root my phone last night. I went through all the steps and put the Nightly build from 3/22/14 on my phone. Now all is good except the prompt to unlock my SIM never showed up. I'm in Germany for a semester abroad and purchased a pre-paid SIM card. So I can't access my SIM which means no service until I figure out how to do it. Luckily, I do have Wi-Fi in my room/building. Any ideas though?
Hi,
There is a CM11 topic in the development section, where you can find info about CM11 on Droid 4.
To use the CM11 on GSM, you should install Mentor's GSM patch (see first post of the CM11 thread) using Safestrap and you should be golden!
Also, if you want the safest way, install a stock ROM and Mentor's ROM after that (can also be found in the development section), it is optimized for GSM networks and also debloated.

Thank you for the response. I'm going to go check it out. Will it give me the pop-up to unlock my locked SIM though? That's what's concerning me right now. I just can't get service until I unlock the actual SIM, but I usually get a nice little pop-up.
Either way, I'm gonna go try it and let you know!
Thanks again.
Yes, you should get a popup to enter PIN, if you install Mentor's patch.
It will also remove the "SIM card is from unknown source" warning.
I don't use CM11, but I'm using stock ROM with Mentor's ROM installed, and in Hungary, it's working fine.
Also note that 4G will not work in Europe, only 2G/3G.

Did you install safestrap? It allows you to switch between Roms. Its pretty damn useful.

I have been looking for two days now for how to get ics on my sprint tab. I see people have it and I have tried to flash it and failed.I read it may be because I have an older cwm. 4.09 or something like that. I want to get ics on here sooooo bad. I very experienced with flashing roms and rooting and all the goodies so I don't need anyone to hold my hand but some links on how to do it or what ill need to do it would be amazing. I can't figure out how to get newer cwm and ics. Help and links would be amazing thank you

it works for me.
I looked at that one and tried to flash it but every time I try to flash it says installation aborted from what I gather its because I have a old version of cwm. What version r u on?

Just to verify the link above on pg 38 post 380 does give the right way to do it. I had never used heimdal I always use Odin and I couldn't get heimdal to work for a couple hours so I gave up and said screw it and ran the tar through Odin and it worked! My screen did goofy stuff but all I had to do was boot into the new recovery and wipe 3 times each data and cache and delvik then flash team hacksun then flashed patch then rebooted and then went back into recovery and flashed gapps.
I swear this tablet was made for ics it never ran this well. A whole new tab is a understatement. Thanks to all the devs and rickxx for guiding the way

when i install rom manager, download and flash droid 3 recovery, why doesn't work? can look idiot, but i don't like safestrap because i can't flash any rom over stock. when i look at this, i see the stock that remains there like a loss of storage space.
i wanna flash roms over the others. like i've always done with my other phones.
so, could somebody help me pleeease! with links, tips, etc .. thanks!
I believe you need to install and run droid 3 bootstrap, before using rom manager

so, now i'm using milestone 3 bootstrap, modified by junior passos (0.83 from hashcode, if i'm not wrong). i've tried droid 3 bootstrap too (one with red icon). both works.
more one question: there is anyway of remove stock after a new rom flashed on slot-1/flash a new rom over stock, via safestrap 3.x?

And after Kingo, how do I not AT&T upgrade?
I am hearing it forces you after a little while, what do I do? I really want to keep my root!

Ok, so if I am at 4.3, and want to keep my root, is there a path to kk that still has root? I would prefer the non ss route. BTW, the main thing that makes me root is I want to use my Microsd card and when unrooted backup and other apps seem unable to access it properly.

SS is the only way to go. There are no downsides to using SS to use a custom ROM.

Seems like kk isn't worth the effort, you can't access the Microsd, the wifi Hotspot is locked off unless you pay at&t and all issues have been fixed in 4.3, anything gained?

Got back root on 4.3, Sweet Archemedes this feels good, like my phone again!
Stock slot, would that be the one that is the original ROM?
Dynamic Kat looks intreguing.But it says I have to have KK first. Can I get DK working from JB rooted?
Indeed it is.
Use this guide. (replace the Urdroid KK ROM that he says to download with DynamicKat)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
Then head over to our development section and find the SS thread.
You will need both 3.71 and 3.72
3.71 will get you to KK with the guide. Once there, you will need to reinstall it and use it to uninstall the recovery.
Then uninstall the app.
After that, install 3.72 and use it to install your new recovery. That way you don't have to use odin every time you want to flash a mod or new kk rom

1. Don't hijack threads
2. Only TW based ROMs can be flashed.
3. Go read the SS development thread.
You need to make sure you are on 3.71 when trying to flash a 4.3 ROM and 3.72 to use KK.

I have an unlocked tmobile note 4, tmobile is terrible in my area so I had them unlock it and went to at&t.
But now I cannot get lollipop.
I read online I can get a capture file put it on my SD and bam.
But I cannot find this file.. I can find it all day for at&t but not tmobile.
Before you start with the flashing and Roms and odin.. no.
No computer.
I have an inactive tmobile card, I put it in the phone but it says no updates so I assume it has to be active to pull the update.
Any help would be awesome.

Use this instead of Odin should work from your phone.
