My contract will be coming up for renewal in June. I currently have a Galaxy S4 and I have to say that it has absolutely been my favorite phone so far. I thankfully got it rooted before safestrap came on the scene so I honestly haven't had to work with that. I currently have Goldfinger ROM on it which is a TouchWiz ROM which I really enjoy TW.
I was wanting to get a Note 4 just because I figured if I'm going to renew my contract with AT&T, then I want to be able to get the lastest-greatest device, however, the deal breaker is there currently doesn't look like there is a way to root the Note 4 and I have several apps that require root access.
Is there anyone else that has had the S4 and has upgraded to the Note 3? Any regrets?
My next course of action is to check the development section to see if there is a TW ROM that keeps the Note 3 as close to stock as possible but just removes all the AT&T bloatware.
Thanks in advance for any/all responses!

I got Note 3, Note 4 and samsung galaxy S5. From my experience : i love note 4 even if there is no root yet ( i hope in near future) . If you fan of TW i will go note 4 , but if you want to flash using safestreap you can get galaxy S5 and finally if you want to flash and have some futures as note 4 i will go with note 3 or wait and see is root will brake for Note 4. I love all phones barely use note 3 but on bone stock with turn off (disable) of some apps (bloatware) i'm happy with S5 and Note 4.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.
Id say more like 2020
Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when
Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.
I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.
M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.
When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.
Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD
What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.
Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.
I think Samasung talk some sh ite
Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.
I think it's going to be in 2020 when note 10 comes out

910F. Int version
Incredible to me how much time and emotion is spent feeding the rumor mill.
Keep dreaming, this is freaking unbelievable QUALCOMM's Note 4 already in 5.1.1 and Exynos which is the international Unlocked, nothing, Note 4 will never see android M other than ported rom, or CM
How it possible that Android M it's only coming to this devices
-Samsung Galaxy Note 5
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
- Samsung Galaxy ALPHA
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A
And our tablet that was announced on June 2014 isn't gonna get the M
Like WTF Samsung 1 year tablet and no more updates
Seems unlikely to be correct

That list is wrong or incomplete the Tab S2 is not even on it.
John.
Don't know where you got that list from, but it's far from correct.
Note 5 Duos, S6 Active, S5, Tab S and S2 and more should be listed.
And I'm wishing for Note 3, but unfortunately it's very unlikely.
I found the same list here.
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-get-Android-M-Updates-by-the-End-of-the-Year
John.
This is not an official list from Samsung, at this point Samsung doesn't even know when Android M final sources will be ready, not to mention it will take ages to integrate touchwiz and all its features.
One example is Samsung former flagship Note 4, which is still on a very buggy 5.0.1. (10 months after Google release date).
Looking at Samsung firmware release history, you may end up getting Android M by July 2016 (if you're lucky!).
I never trust anything out of Yourmobile. Where do they get their info? Sammobile is a better news source.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung doesn't update the Tab S to Marshmallow. The Galaxy Tab Pro (predecessor to the Tab S) came out in 2014 with KitKat 4.4 and later updated to 4.4.2. Lollipop was never released for it. I had a Tab Pro 8.4, which I install CM12 to get Lollipop.
I think: 40% will update, 100% not. But we have cm, fortunately...
Yep we will hopefully get a cm port

they did it last time to the predecessor Galaxy Tab 7.7. It was one hell of a device but being abandon big time by Samsung. They likely doing the same **** again. Its Samsung.
Where is the stupid Tab S2
The german AndroidPit.de wrote, Samsung has confirmed this list. [emoji17]
For Samsung smartphone is their first priority, as for tablet, it a one off, may be 1-2 update a year, then it's a new tablet on the market, and the others get obsolete and thrown to one side.
Those list are for initial devices. The galaxy s4 received lollipop before the note 4 and it wasn't on the so called list. So please stop arguing about something only Samsung will know. Also even if we don't get android 6.0, there will be other methods available as with all android devices.
How about 5.1 at least? Seems this device is neglected by Samsung. I'm having a slight buyers remorse for my Tab S 10.5. Slight...
Perhaps they'll be adding more devices as they start to roll out M updates. But if it happen that this tablet didn't make the cut, then I'm done with Samsung.
Slow down... I would be amazed if Samsung didn't update this tablet.
They still out there updating old ass phones S4, N2... Now they might not get M, but they need to upgrade anyways.
Samsung definably has their own timing when it comes to updating their gauntlet of tablets. In fact, when you look at their lineup of U.S. models, you can see their update history for their entire line of U.S. tablets are the same. With the exception of newly released tablets in the last three months, all of their other tablets still being sold are just on 5.0.2.

the tab pro series get started to get lollipop update
. Until now its just the 12.2 Version but other versions update will come soon
and ist even 5.1.1 not only 5.0.2 as ours :/
and i also do not think that Samsung wll Change many Things with M update since even stock Android M Looks like lollipop
My next tablet will be a Windows based tablet I'm sick of all this

I'm a long time androld user. Came here from the oneplus 3 after it died. I can't find much info on getting the s6 rooted with a recovery and such. And I'm looking for if they exist any s7 or note 7 roms that are avaliable
Thank you!
First off I rooted my S6 using CF-Autoroot. There is an S7 edge Noble Rom, but it hasnt been updated in a while. There are a lot of Grace UX/Note 7 roms such as the Noble A8 Port and Noble Note7 . Currently I use the A8 Port and definitely recommend for smoothness and battery life. Hope this helped!

Who is your carrier for your S6?
I always root all my devices and I hope rooting will be the same as the Tab S7+ which I currently have.

I have ordered a Tab S8 Ultra, US version with the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . It is supposed to arrive in 9 days. So yea, wanting root is for the Tab S8.
It doesnt have any support yet, or even a forum page as it hasnt even been released. This is the forum for the Tab S8, not the S8 ultra. post this in the S8 ultra forum once it releases.
I figured XDA would lump all the S8 Tablets together like they did with the S7 / S7 Plus.
Got my Tab S8 Ultra today. Used the Tab S7+ directions and I'm fully rooted. Going to use Swift Backup and restore all my apps from my S7+. All good to go. Yay.
Getting my S8 Tab Ultra today (unless FedEx screws me). Good to know we have working root (using the S7+ directions) so soon!

Ta but question - What was the Firmware model you entered?
SM-X90x? + CSC?
I cant find anything for it on Frija? Unless I am missing something. The actual rooting shouldnt be an issue

With SamFirm v0.5.0, I was at least able to get the (what SamFirm defaulted to) INU, and also XAR but still didn't find XAA or XAS. Maybe XAR is close enough? I've been out of the Samsung rooting game for ~8 years though, so I only tried what I could find to read about, but hopefully, I'm just missing some piece of information.
I couldn't find anything for SM-X900 in Frija v2.0.22044.1 - with XAA, XAS, XAR, or even INU. Says unable to connect to the server even though SamFirm is working fine.
My Wi-Fi Tab S8 Ultra won't arrive for quite a while, though, so I have time to learn and for others to report back what does and doesn't work.
Ta - See what you mean.
Im worried about putting the X900 boot.img.lz4 on my device incase it wont boot.
I have the X906B. 5G Edition.

I'd be worried too - I recommend holding off unless someone else has some better advice or the firmware shows up. I couldn't find anything for the X906B or even just as X906 with the various U.S. 5G major carrier CSCs, nor XAA, XAS, or XAR. Same with X900 as far as U.S. 5G major carrier CSCs.
Guess what... It booted with the X900 boot.img.lz4 on an X906B ¬_¬
And root is working with no issues to 4G or 5G Cellular...
Although I would advise waiting for official firmware for the model where possible.

If you're planning on using Termux to run Linux / X11 apps on your Tab S8 Ultra (via vnc or similar), you're going to need root due to this issue of Android 12 killing phantom processes https://gist.github.com/agnostic-ap...#how-to-disable-the-phantom-processes-killing
I'm going to hold off until we find a firmware that matches the device, personally, but thank all of you for your research and testing!
EDIT - Guide I used to install kali linux on my Tab S8 Ultra - https://technical-bot.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-to-install-kali-linux-on-android.html Note that I had to replace wget with curl in the .sh files because wget wasn't working correctly.
I found out that notifications for new Android updates won't come when rooted. But what about updates for accessories like the keyboard? I've seen some YouTube videos where they say that for the tab s7, when the new keyboard update came, people were prompted to update after attaching their keyboards.

I would expect Keyboard updates to happen without a problem. Once you are rooted it is up to you to keep your tablet updated ... or not. I usually update a couple of times a year.
