Does anybody ever put up an original unmodified android rom how it would be if I bought a phone from google. I don't think I have ever seen this. It is always somebody's modified version. I would like to try pure google android.

There are ROMs available. One of them is Cyanogem Mod or CM. Ufortunately this ROM is not available to the AT&T version due to having a locked bootloader. If you want pure AOSP ou need to buy a phone that has an unlocked bootloader, i.e. the TMO version or the international version or any other phone that has an unlocked bootloader, like a developer edition.

Hi,
I'd like to know if I must have a rooted nexus one to update my radio version.
thanks!
Depends how you do it...
Some of the official Google updates include an updated radio also, so if you can install them, you will get the radio update with them.
The biggest factor is probably which version of Android you are currently on, which radio you currently have, and which radio you want, etc...?

You do not to be rooted. Flash radios via fastboot.

Which requires an unlocked bootloader...

Yes, It's not the only way but the easiest way. Not so easy if you're on gingerbread though because gingerbread root right now still under construction. You'll need to downgrade and root it. Or unlock the boot loader and flash custom rom to acquire root. You can easily flash radio via recovery. Easiest way.

What is the best radio rom (long-life battery)
Can someone tell me what we will actually be able to download if bootloader remains looked? Can we flash certain types of Rom or mods? Or can we do nothing?

Should work the same as the S4 MF update that locked down the bootloader. You should be able to root but as for custom roms and CWM/TWRP we're out of luck.
Coming from a S4 running CM10.2 I'm not going to like using the standard rom but will get used to it I guess.
So even with the bootlegged locked we should be able to tour so we can use TB to backup and restore?

I have a locked MF3 firmware S4 and I'm running 3 different ROMs that are hot swappable thanks to Safestrap developed my Hashcode so even with a locked bootloader you can do something. Only thing is for now we are limited to internal storage for the ROM slots can't create them on external SD card but Hashcode has been working on that. Also we can only flash TW ROMs since we can't flash a custom kernel but that is also being worked on, I believe they want to be able flash a kernel with kexec. I have an AT&T S4 and currently swapping between an international Foxhound ROM, Google Play ROM, and well the stock ROM.

At this point I'd be happy with just root so I can use Titanium Backup.
Would be nice if we could get Loki.

Even tho I don't have any phone that has a bootloader. (i don't live in the USA Neither)
But if your Bootloader is locked you cannot Flash CWM or TWRP or flash custom roms (Because they need CWM or TWRP).
Sorry if I'm wrong. I don't have any phone with locked bootloader. Hope this helps.

Ditto... which is why I am returning my AT&T Note 3 less than 24 hrs after I purchased it.
My fault for not researching the bootlocker issue, but no way am I going to give up Titanium Backup. It has saved my tail more than once.
I'm also coming from an att S4. There has not been a bootloader unlock exploit but they do have some work around exploits like loki & safestrape. Loki is out bc they've already patched that so at this point I just hope we get root bc without that you don't have a fighting chance at custom roms

All I want to do is remove the AT&T bloat as well as the Samsung bloat. When I took my stock Note 2 and installed Cleanrom on it it felt like the phone got a cpu boost. Everything was smoother and faster.
With root, can we uninstall crap that is blocked from being removed while stock? I can live with a locked bootloader if I can just get as close to a stripped rom as possible. I'm pretty new to this stuff so forgive the newbie question.
Hi All,
In terms of which version of the NOTE 3 to buy, should i get the ATT one? in terms of development to the device.
I see that the android development forum is currently empty, are roms of other version (not ATT specific) are compatible with it?
thanks.

The AT&T note 3 currently has a locked bootloader. No flashing roms until someone finds a way to unlock the phone. People who seem to need to flash roms are buying the t-mobile one (which has an unlocked bootloader) and bringing it over to AT&T.
I have a rooted and flashed Att Note 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474422

What he meant to say was flashed with stock root injected rom, NOT custom rom
Sorry did make it sound like custom Rom. Stock Rom with root access.

Honestly if you're looking for s-pen functionality plus some customization.. rooting plus wanum modules pretty much does the trick. It would be nice if we could flash roms but I don't miss it with all the features this phone has

I would buy the T-Mobile note 3 if you want to flash stuff and rom development. I've been running ATT on the T-Mobile phone for a while now and all is well.

This.
Root on the stock ROM is great, it allows you install must have apps like Greenify, DroidWall, AdAway, Root Explorer, and Wannum Xposed Framework. Plus is stable, being based off the official stock OS.
That's all you really need, and allows tons of control over the phone, without an actual ROM or need for unlocked bootloader.

Okay, I did my obligatory search of the forums and of Google, but I've come up empty.
Is it possible to install Cyanogenmod 11 Nightlies on our beloved N900A using SafeStrap? I know one person has had reported luck (but I can't find the link, sorry), but they didn't elaborate on jack squat. A yes or no will suffice but an explanation would be nice.
Yours truly,
The Sphere.
AFAIK, we can't install AOSP ROMS on our version of the note 3 because at&t locked the boot loader. So, no, it wouldn't work for our variant.

What custom recovery I should use on AT&T Galaxy Note 3 - 4.4.2 - N900A?
Safe strap in the development section is the only thing you can use
So.. do you think we will ever find a way to unlock to bootloader

I read a few months back that an exploit was found that will unlock the bootloader permanently. It is supposed to be released in august some time. If I find the like I will point you to it.

Yeah I heard about that, lets just hope its true and be able to get Custom Recoveries and be able to install PAC-MAN, CM ROMS, ect.
