Just got the note 3 from att and am reading in XDA that there currently no way to root from 4.4.2 and to top it off the only Roms that are available on 4.3 appear to be themed versions that appear to be stock Google but actually are not. This I'd based on the all in one thread I just read.
Taking a cursory look at t-mobile and their note 3 doesn't appear to have this bootloader hindrance/handicap unless I'm mistaken. I'm willing to sell my new note 3 to get a better more compliant phone but want to make sure of the information before making that drastic jump. I'm not wanting to wait to use rooms such as paranoid Android or pacrom. Am I correct in my assumption so far that t-Mobile had the more ROM and mod friendly version of the Note 3? XDA developers are always right from what I've found. This is my fifth phone in two years and I want to do it right without regrets.

You won't be flashing any AOSP ROMs on the AT&T Note 3 in the foreseeable future. If the phone is on 4.4.2 you can't even root it. I love the N3 (AT&T) and I love the community here. I just love freedom when it comes to my smartphone. When the opportunity arises and my wallet says "cool" I'm definitely bouncing to a nexus or gpe device. My apologies for being a little frustrated right now.

Yes... The TMobile version is flashable, rootable, etc... I sold my att n3 and bought the TMobile version for the same reason!

My sympathy to you for not doing some research first, as I didn't either. I do love this phone, but if I had to do over again, there's no way I'd choose it again on AT&T.

When roms come out for the att and verizon versions would they possibly work on our notes?
Don't flame if dumb question, just don't know
From the giant: Galaxy Note
Good question. I want to know the reverse because ATT is going to make us wait an extra 6 months for ICS.

No, the ROMs posted here in the International Note sections won't work on the AT&T version. There will be a separate section for the AT&T version, hopefully as soon as they release it.
I know that the intuitive thing would be that the dev addition would get more support, but is it possible that the AT&T or Sprint or T-Mobile will get more because more people will have it. And I know not cases, and they are the exact same body. I mean ROM support.

I think that the insides are exactly the same so they (dev and regular unlocked) should be able to run the same stuff. The only thing different is that the dev edition is supposed to have 64gbs and an unlocked bootloader. Big whooooooooop... that's so easy to do with HTCDev anyways...
My question is: is there honestly going to be a big difference btwn carrier based devices and the international? Shouldn't they be able to run the same exact ROMs and stuff?!?
Well with my current phone (att optimus g) you can't run the sprint ROMs on att, but then again the att version is slightly differently shaped. The reason why I can't run sprint ROMs is because of different partitions. I hope this doesn't occur with the one, because then the dev version may have less support that a regular one.

Another plus is no att bloat and the dev edition will receive updates quicker

Would it really be quicker? i mean once HTC releases an update for the dev phone wont it be the next base for our devs to use to create roms? We wouldn't be using it in its stock form anyway. Bloat isn't an issue once rooted. Are the specs any different from the International and ATT version? I'm hoping its identical.
Hopefully we can get supercid so we can install dev ruus if needed. I think there is gonna be a lot more dev interest in this one (pun intended) That means more brains for s-off. Hopefully the recent qualcom s-off for the ATT One X will help out.

And the radios are different in the international versions

This is why I opted out of getting an AT&T branded one and went Unlocked from HTC. This way when HTC pushes it to US market I won't be waiting 2mo for AT&T to inject their adware.

I almost did the same thing as you (I previously used the international unlocked versions of the Galaxy s2 and s3 for this exact reason but I was bummed that I couldn't get LTE on the S3 since the unlocked version only supports HSPA+). However it turns out that you can just unlock the bootloader on the AT&T One and install ROMs from the regular/unlocked One forum, and you will still have working LTE on the proper AT&T bands. Frankly I am thrilled to finally have an AT&T LTE phone that can use ROMs with the most current code from the international community that is much greater in size and therefore will have a much better ROM choice; it's the best of both worlds. Two of the most popular ROMs (TrickDroid and ARHD which are based on 1.29 firmware) specifically say in their respective OP's that you can install their ROMs on all U.S. variants of the One (except for maybe the Sprint model according to mike1986). During the installation, there is a script (made by Patrics83) that will install the AT&T specific files, settings and such.

I hear ya, I had the AT&T S3 and the wait was gruelling. Since then I've gotten over having to have the latest updates. Might be because Sense5 isn't so bad. I didn't think I would miss LTE when I had my Nexus 4. Bonus of the unlocked One using AT&T LTE out of the box has been great
I saw another thread here but it really didn't cover anything I wanted it to. I wanted to create this to maybe help others understand some things I am looking to figure out:
1) When Verizon announces release date.
2) Any downfalls other than paying full retail price by purchasing device elsewhere (G-Play, T-Mo)?
3) My understanding is that Nexus 6 is compatible with ALL carriers out of the box, so the Play edition is full compatible with all Verizon bands?
4) Seeing as how some were able to use Nexus 6 on VZW already without issues, are there any chances Verizon may block those devices from using their network?
5) Is there a good chance Verizon will ruin the PURE experience of Android and throw their crap branding all over Android L software?
Every single one of these questions has been addressed numerous times. There is no need for this thread.

Hi All- I had a Note 4 for a few days back when they first came out, returned because of all the bloat between Samsung and ATT. Looking for an Android device now, but have a question. Has the state of the Note 4, for either ATT or T-Mobile changed to the point where I can solve my phone bloat problems? Through rooting, or some other technique (iPhone user learning the ropes here), can I address all the apps and Touchwiz stuff I don't like?
You can totally do that stuff on the tmobile version.
This is how you would get started:

The att note 4 is trickier because of the locked bootloader.

Ok, so the T-Mobile version is definitely more in line with my expectations of my device.
Do I lose anything important with the T-Mobile version? Does it play just as well with att given that they are both GSM? Would T-Mobile just sell me a device outright?
Here's the centralized thread on that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2962920
You can search for att in this forum and find threads on that, as well.
In the att note 4 forum you can search for t-mobile and find more threads, as well.
Yes I'm using a t-mobile Note 4 on AT&T right now. Working great.
