Guys looking to buy a note 5 asap.
Looking online it's best to stay away from the a/p/v variants due to unable to root and flash other ROMs.
Is it possible to root these ROMs now
Thanks

Hi All...waiting for UPS to deliver my pre-ordered Note from AT&T. I use Titanium Backup and also Amazon Appstore so I definitely need to root my Note...Do I use the methods already posted here on the forums? Or will it be different seeing as this is the US version of the phone? Don't want to mess anything up by using the wrong method to root. Also, what about ROMS? Can we use any that are already out there or do we need to wait until the official release of the AT&T Note for the Devs to start cooking for us?
Thanks in advance for any help.
i dont think anyone has the att version yet. so no test has been done
Try rage against the cage method with one click root. Dont bother with the cf kernel root and custom rom here. Unlike the old days of captivate and galaxy. Note is very different between these two models .

Please be careful when doing any mods on the at&t version of the note.
The chipsets are different. I think there is a thread somewhere warning not to
update the rom on the i717 (at&t) with the international (N7000) note and vice
versa. The exploit for one might not work on the other.
Might be best to start a thread on the at&t note forum, just to be safe.
I have stock AT&T 4.4.2 and I posted a topic HERE asking if it is possible to root Note 3 or not?
According to the post HERE, it seems like someone has figure it out to root Note 3.
So, I just want to double check, now can I root my AT&T Note 3 ? and install custom ROM to it ?
That is exactly what the thread you linked to said, so yes, you can do those now...

So, once I root my AT&T Note 3 with Towelroot
What custom ROM I should install ? is there anything available out there ? As there was no way to root Note 3 before with 4.4.2 update, I don't know if there was any ROMs available or not ?
anyone ?
In the spirit of helping out, once you root with Towelroot head on over to the Note 3 development section. There are several KK ROM's . As far as a best one, "we" as a community don't label a single ROM as best. Each developer does their best to supply us with a free product. Certainly some are better, than others. It is left to the user to read and make decisions for themselves.
Thank you Roostercruiser,
I understand there could be several ROM. I am not asking what is "BEST" rom, if you could just direct me to several ROMs option, that would be helpful ? That's all I need !
Here you go.

Is there any cyanogenmot for Note 3 (AT&T) ?
I found this but it does not say if it is for AT&T or not: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Also, can anyone please give me any link where I can get STOCK AT&T ROM (touch wiz) just in case if I want to go back to stock ROM.
No, there is not a Cyanogenmod ROM for AT&T's locked bootloader on Note 3. Make nandroid of stock version you're already running after you root.
No cyanogen mod for us ... With the locked boot loader we are stuck with Samsung based Roms

Purchased Note 5 gold on eBay from US seller. Turns out the phone was from Taiwan. This before I knew about model numbers and I thought that the bands were all I needed to think about to make sure it would work in southern VT US with AT&T. Obviously, came to find out Samsung has regional model numbers.
I love the 9208 for many reasons: unlocked, no AT&T bloatware, and a few other things that just seem to make it a better phone. However, no Samsung Pay and I can't register the phone on Samsung in the US. I don't care about the registering, but I REALLY want Samsung Pay. So, my question....
1. Can I root the phone and get Samsung Pay? I read somewhere that rooting "kicks off Knox" which is apparently bad (I have no idea what that means). Does that mean that I can root and still can't get SP? Also, if I root, what do I lose and what do I gain?
2. Flashing roms. I used to do this in the old days, but spent a few mindless years with iphone (for my husband and daughter) so I am starting over and consider myself a noob. So, can I flash a rom to get SP? Do I flash, then root? Does flashing automatically mean I am rooted? Or do I root first, then flash, then do I get SP? Finally, what do I lose flashing and what do I gain?
3. Lastly, does anyone know if and when the Taiwan model 9208 will get SP from Samsung?
Sorry for all the questions - thought I would get it all in one post! Thanks so much for any help and advice. Oh, and before anyone lectures me for buying non-US model just to get a color or something, please refrain! I already know I should have realized Samsung had regional models - my stupid mistake!
Welcome to the club!
I got the Singapore 920i version 1 for the Gold and 2 for the 64gb !
In answer of your questions. ..
1. No. Root is incompatible with SP.
But I think Android pay can work with Dr. KETAN'S rom and his kernel
Haven't tried it out yet but at least it let me install. SP wouldn't even allow install.
2. Flashing as of now will help no effect on SP. But there are some Roms out there that improve battery life and have mods..I'm on the latest Dr. Ketan 4.1
3. Unknown.
As to if the version you bought will be compatible with your carrier you can check on http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Compare your model with the 920a for at&t
Oh and enjoy ?
Haven't had a note in a while and thinking about picking up a note 4. I am with T-Mobile and would purchase the T-Mobile version, I read about different variants and just wanted to make sure they could all be rooted, custom recovery and flashed without issue. In some of the threads here when people have issues, others ask what variant, etc.
Thanks

Get the sm-n910t (t-mobile version). Very mod friendly.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
The T-Mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked out of the box. You can do whatever you want with/to it.
I just purchase a T-Mobile Note 4 on 11/17/15 from one of their store. The model that I got is the SM-N910T3 and not SM-N910T. It comes with Android 5.1.1 installed instead of 4.4.4. You will probably end up with this model. Does anyone know if this variant is still bootloader unlocked? I also read that the TW 5.1.1 rom has root blocking enabled by Samsung, can anyone recommend a custom kernel that can override this to prevent a bootloop?
T is better for ROM Support VS. T3. T3 may be smooother

You want the T version for more ROM compatibility. The T3 version can be rooted and has a few ROMS but supposedly Samsung changed something in the phone so it has alot less ROM support. It does have root and 1 or 2 good ROM's though.
Root for T3
More info on T3

Did you ever end up buying this phone? I have been thinking about picking up a used one on Swappa to use as my daily driver until Samsung releases the S8 or Note 8. I currently have a LG V10 and even though it has an unlocked bootloater and root, there is zero ROM development for it due to issues with LG firmware/drivers.
Hi XDA community,
I have a really stupid question to ask here: which marshmallow rom can I flash to my Canadian variant Note 5 (Rogers)?
I have learned that all the Canadian Carriers offer the same variant Note 5 - N920W8 (could someone help confime this ???) and now I am really confused about MM update since not many roms specify our variant.
I really want to get updated to MM since it offers Doze and app permission control which will improve this phone's poor battery life.....
Also, where can I download the official MM rom??
Thanks in advance!!!
My guess is we're waiting. I know many have said ROMs are safe for T-Mobile models (N920T) as they are similar, but seems we are getting Marshmallow before them do it's a matter of convincing more developers to add the W8 to the list. :/
You need TWRP for your device.
You can flash almost any international ROM, visit one of my ROM threads which have a voice fix which you flash after flashing the ROM.
That voice fix can be used on any international ROM.
Here is the direct link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315328
Flash the a ROM of your choice then flash this fix. Reboot.
Enjoy.
