I have a Galaxy Note 5
SN920r6
Version 5.1.1
I have found no rooting instructions for this model or anything that can help me get this rooted. I would really love to get this rooted to join all my past rooted devices. I hate the bloatware and want to do it. If you need anymore information let me know.
The device has OEM unlock
And is through BlueGrass Kentucky wireless phone service.

Is it possible? Thinking about Getting a Note 3, But I don`t like the changes AT&T makes. For an example The data icons AT&T puts in there and all the AT&T to go junk. Anyone Flash T-Mobile or other firmwares on there AT&T Note 3? Back when I had my AT&T Note 1 I flashed the N7005 International Rom on it, same went with my Note 2.

The SM-N900A or at&t note 3 has a locked bootloader. This prevents us from installing a custom recovery and flashing other firmware. So unfortunately at this time you won't be able to flash anything. If you were to obtain one anyway and it came preloaded with Kit Kat, you won't even be able to obtain root access. If you are lucky enough to obtain one with android 4.3 you can obtain root. There's even a work around for 4.3 called safestrap. Safestrap allows us to install tweeked roms. But there's not that many of them compared to the previous note versions you use to have.
Many at&t note 3 owners have sold or traded for the T-Mobile variant. The T-Mobile note 3 bootloader is unlocked.
I hope that gives you some insight.

Thank you! Must be the reason why the T-Mobile one will cost me about $35 more used. If I got the T-Mobile Version I might not even root. I just hate what AT&T Does with the Software.
Is there even root on theAT&T Note 3? on 4.4.2? I dont care about tripping Knox as long as it doesnt harm anything

No. There is no root for 4.4.2 as of yet. Avoid the ATT version if at all possible.
BTW thanks for hosting those LG firmwares. It has been very helpful in returning my phones to oem state.

Theres a local Note 3 well somewhat local Note 3 but its AT&T
Been looking at a T-mobile Note 3 for a few days on Swappa for $435
What's the price difference between the 2? I would try the Att if you can get it for under 370. If over that I would do the T-Mobile version. The unlock bootloader is worth it. Just make sure it is paid off (T-Mobile version) before you buy it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I used to have AT&T as a carrier for the phone, now I do not have a carrier. I want to unlock my phone and preferably not pay for it I tried the method outlined at android and me and several other site, ( it involves using the number *#197328640#)
I was unable to use this method because I could not find a UMTS menu.
The only other way I found to unlock the phone was to root it. I wanted to use Odin and CF Auto Root to do but I could not find a version for my device, (Samsung-SM-N900A).
Do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Im in the same place need to Root At&t galaxy note 3 5.0 N900a where can I find the files
You can only network unlock the phone with a code.
As far as I know, all of the note series is carrier unlocked. if it's not, you have to call your respective carrier and ask them to unlock it. Rooting your phone is another story. I just got off live chat with Samsung and they can't remove the bootloader lock on my OC2 N900a. This will prevent me from buying any other samsung product in the future, not even considering the note 7 b.s.
The n900a is an at&t phone and pretty much every at&t phone is carrier and bootloader locked. Same goes for sprint and Verizon.
Didn't realize oc2 also had the n900a as I thought the U.K. And Europe had the n9005.
Most of the note phones sold by a carrier are network locked.
Hi i will be receiving a Samsung galaxy s5 in the post tomorrow it will be locked to the network o2. I have heard that if the phone is updated to the latest firmware it will not be able to be updated. So i thought i just wont update it out of the box then and will leave it with the factory update the phone will be the latest model also. I have unlocked phones to networks before but never one of these i have looked through these forums for a decent guide but cant seem to find one. If somebody could point me in the direction of how to root the phone " the rom file and ect" and then a guide how to unlock the phone after it is rooted i would really appreciate it thanks
Hey, I have a Note8 international unlocked variant non rooted with knox intact. I am trying to get Samsung pay to work on this device, but my understanding is because the phone originated from Mexico, samsung pay in the USA wont work. With my current research, I've seen the indication that I need to flash either the tmobile (my carrier) or the N950U CSC on this device to get samsung pay to work.
Is this correct? Do I need to know anything more? I have experience with rooting and unlocking bootloaders, but barely any experience with odin or flashing CSC's. If its not possible for samsung pay to work on this device, I might as well go ahead and root my phone.
If any more information is needed, please do let me know. I've looked into all the threads I can find but haven't found an absolute answer.
Ive been trying to find a method to root the note 5 on at&t running Android 7.0 and haven't found anything that works. AT&T like Verizon is notorious for locking down the bootloader. Has anyone found a method or can point me the direction to root this device?
