How to move forward from stock ROM? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wish is to replace stock ROM (by Samsung) with any non-Samsung ROM. Thing is that there's no actual "How to", so I'm here and asking for your help. So far my SM910F is rooted and that's it, bootloader is locked by T-Mobile Croatia.
How to unlock bootloader?
How to and which recovery to install?
Is there anything more I should do?
Phone details are:
Model: SM-910F
Android: 6.0.1
Baseband: N910FXXU1DPI6
Buld: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPI1
Thank you!

Hi! i'm new and i need some help!!!
My phone was unlocked until I decided to install the upgrade to ics 4.0.4 through kies.
The first thing I did was re-rooting via recovery mode using this file:
Philz-cwm6-UBLR3-PSN-3.1-signed.zip
Then i tryed to unlock it as he had done before (using unlock software galaxy_s)
Following all the steps properly, I could not get the sim-unlock.
I found this post that could give me a hand, but the link is down!

GT I9305 Android 4.3 RO Orange how to root?

Hello to all.
I have a GT I9305 with Android 4.3 from carrier Orange country RO, I need help in rooting my phone, I want to put the S5 project on my S3 smartphone.
For the beginning I have done some research on the forum and found some related topics but I'm stuck. I want root so I can back-up my efs partition so I'll not lose my IMEI.
The steps that I fallowed are:
Read topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/frequently-questions-t2148708 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/howto-rooting-wiping-flashing-ultimate-t1911726
Tried Safe root, but it fails with msg: Kernel patched!
Read about CF-Root but I don't understand all the codes from the list, wich one to use? Is the one from the GTI9305 appropriate for me, hope will not break my phone, or is just for the international GTI9305?
Model: GT I9305
The base-band version is: I9305XXUEMK1
Android: 4.3

I have a GT-I9305 Orange device which was on 4.3

Is it safe to flash Stock ROM on an unlocked Tab S2?

I have just got a pre-owned Tab S2 T817W which is a Canadian version from Bell Canada.
It has been unlocked and I can put in another carrier's SIM card and use it.
However, it is in stock 5.1.1 stock ROM and I want to upgrade to the latest Marshmallow.
My questions are:
1) If I flash the latest ROM from Bell for this T817W, will the ROM lock it back to Bell only?
2) Can I flash other carrier's ROM, eg T817A (for ATT) T817V (for Verizon) etc?
3) Do I need to root it before upgrading if i want to have root in Marshmallow?
(EDITed: I found the answers to the questions myself. I was able to download a Marshmallow firmware for Canada instead for Carrier specific from Sammobile. Everything works as I have wished for, it is still unlocked, fingerprint detection works better and the tab even runs faster.)

Hello All
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9, but have recentley seen an OTA come through to turn my current version to B160.
I understand that I need to flash a stock Rom in it's entirety (re-lock BL and lose root) before I can proceed with the OTA?
The issue I have now is that my current build number does not appear to be available anywhere as a stock rom. I am in the UK and with the 'Three' network.
If anyone can point me to the stock ROM for my build or can recommend another stock Rom to flash that will work without issues, I'd very much appreciate it? :good:
