Hi I'm new to the note 5 forums. Managed to pick a immaculate duos version up for £30 off a friend. Was it silly for me to do that in 2020? Also can I root with out tripping knox and have two and custom Rom?

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 ?
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, so I recently got a Note 5 and I'm coming from a nexus 5 which was easy to root. Now I have a N920A and I'm reading that there's no root for this device. Is that true? I'm a complete noob to Samsung devices and I love the power of root so I'm disassappointed that it cannot be rooted. Has anyone found a way to get full root? If so, can you please link the thread? Also, on a side note, how can I manually update the Android 7.0 from 6.0.1 on the N920A model without bootlegging? Thanks everyone.
Hello lads and buddies. I bought Samsung A8 PLUS with the model number SM-A730F/DS Saudi Arabian version. It's my second Samsung phone since 2013 so I dont exactly remember the whole rooting, unlocking the bootloaders for SAMSUNG PHONES. Kindly redirect me to the page or any forum which has a successful BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING & ROOTING SAMSUNG A8 PLUS phones running Android Nougat 7.1.1 as of now.
I will be very appreciative for your support.
you have to wait 168 hours without reboot and power off your phone before rooting
Hello!
I ve posted a question on xda in the galaxy tab s4. As there is no enough developpement on it, i had 56 view but no answer.
I m sorry to post here and if this is a problem, i will understand if my thread is deleted by a moderator.
This is my link question in the galaxy tab s4 forum :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/help/oem-unlock-issue-t3928460
So there are my interrogations :
"I plane to buy a galaxy tab s4 lte (4g), i want to know if the note 8 oem issue (oem option disappear for 7 days when flashing custom binaries...twrp or magisk) affect the galaxy tab s4 too or not.
I ve ordered one from amazon.fr and when it arrived, i ve discovered that it was a spanish version (phe/phe/...). I returned it and amazon refund me.
I can take it on french samsung shop ( xef/xef...) but i dislike the samsung after sales and prefer amazon.
So...to resume, i have 3 questions :
1) is the galaxy tab s4 lte is affected by the oem issue if we flash twrp and magisk (region lock)?
2) if yes, is the oem issue fix for note 8 will work to make the oem option appear again?
3)is it possible to have xef/xef/xef when the original is phe/phe/phe? I think yes because on my first note 8 i managed to but the oem issue were alwayse there.
Thanks for your help."
Thanks to you for helping and sorry if i m at the wrong place.:good:

My guess is Yes, the OEM Issue affects all latest Samsung phones and tablets on the newest bootloaders. Yes there is a fix. By flashing the RMM Fix. And yes you can flash CSC Packages to change your CSC. Sorry for a brief answer. The files can be found on XDA via a simple search.
Many thanks for your participation. It helped me a lot. I know where is the fix because on my first note 8, i had the issue.
I think my issue is solved because today i received the tab s4 and it s a french version xef/xef. I think it will be like my second note 8 (no oem issue or binaries).
Thanks again.:good:
