Note 4 N910C Lollipop screenshot

Hi!
I follow a Mexican Twitter account called AndroidMX, the guy behind this website has posted a tweet with some screenshots related to the Lollipop update for the Note 4, seems to be Android 5.0.1
You can see the pictures here
The guy said in later tweets that he will leak the ROM within this week

No good for us we have snapdragon

Since when does Samsung release Lollipop for the Exynos variant first, it was always first released for snapdragon...ohhh let's wait and see.

Note 3 and s4 exynos variants already got 5.0 update before snapdragon.

Makes me want to re-reflect, which is better, Exynos or Snapdragon Note 4? *cough*

Root Tutorial?

Hello
Did a lot of rooting back in the day but it's been a while since.
I assume things have changed in 3 years.
Could someone put a basic Tutorial refresher sticky here for those needing it.
Appreciated greatly.

Samsung Note 8 ROOT on Snapdragon update?

I know there's a root method out already, but I prefer to hold off given the potential limitations (especially the battery 80% issue).
Based on your experience, do you think there will be a better root method coming out soon?
Thanks!

because it requires a unlocked bootloader, not a engineering bootloader.
If the S8\s8+ doesn't get it, we def ain't gonna get it for Snapdragon users.
One of the main reasons i went exynos

Are you asking if someone has a crystal ball and can tell you the future development of the phone? Maybe they can give me winning lottery ticket numbers.

What that means is no one has been able to find a workaround (engineering or otherwise) or not smart enough to figure it out yet and they're not clairvoyant enough to know if anyone can in the future. But I think it's a great question that I had actually been wondering myself.

Soon? absolutely not. I recommend backing up your stuff using samsung cloud and trying the root to see how it affects you. Exynos has a Unlocked BL HOWEVER it does not work on CDMA carriers.

thanks for all the responses. very much appreciated.
i'm on Tmobile, so maybe i should get the exynos version if that root works better?
also, which phone/brand is easy to root?

if you get exynos there's a chance you'll have the issue where you have to wait 7 days to unlock your bootloader, you can get the korean version which comes unlocked out of box.
If you're not looking to deal with this kind of risk then go for pixel line, one plus 5\5t when it comes out, not sure what else really, the essential phone should have unlocked bootloader and roms soon as they've promised to release the source code and image files.

You can compile twrp for your device yourself....and if successfully...and they feel it works they will make it official...check out their site...Google compile twrp

I got an SM-N950U about a week ago but have have not unboxed it yet.
I'm sure there have been OTA updates being pushed out.
What build(s) can been rooted?

Any under BQJA...so the latest updates break root...
AQH7, AQH9, AQI5, AQI9, AQIA...that's about it

Here with the model N9500 you can unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and root with magisk

So how come you can get the rom for snapdragon but not exynos.... I'm aware it's not officially out I'm talking about custom roms here
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

Here's the thing. The snapdragon Oreo is a very early leak. So far there have been no leaks of Oreo for the Exynos Note 8. Different hardware, different kernels keep us where we are... waiting. I am sure once there is a leak or release of official Oreo we will see new custom rom's

winol said:
You are asking for help, ok, you did not like one answer, ok again, but do not do exactly the same thing you complain about, for the other part, oreo rom was short lived beta first release to certain countries for snapdragons, not exynos, they stopped due to certain issues, and if you follow the progress of exynos note 8, you would know about it, If you are interested in flashing roms and mods, I sugest you to read first how roms and mods are installed, not here in specific forums, but in the general forums in XDA, after that, you can start reading about device-specific roms in exynos note 8 section, if you do not find roms there, then simply there aren't any yet, be more polite the next time you do not like an answer

I was not aware the oreo rom for snapdragon was a leak I thought it was a rip if some sort from the s8 plus rom

He was rude, you were rude. I guess the Note 8 is bringing out the worst in us.
Hopefully soon this will be over. What pisses me off about the delay is that I had the choice of getting the Snapdragon Note 8, for a lot less than what I shelled out for the exynos note 8. But I can remember thinking there was more Support for exyno, and they received leaks/updates faster.. If only I could go back

Well, dont regret it, when oreo outs, it will be released for both versions, the exynos versions have always been more versatile, in my case I never would have chosen the snap, as I wanted the 128 GB storage model

Ok guys this thread has been cleaned Let keep the comments down like this and keep it on track:good::good::good:

Reading and researching is essential

The Snapdragon one is the Official OTA update that has been uploaded to carrier servers to push out. It's just a way of manually installing it before carriers push OTA.

You don't find Oreo..... Oreo finds you

Oreo to pie?

I just saw that we can get pie, however I don't see my software version being mentioned. I'm on att and my build number ends in rd7. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Pie is not out for the US phones yet, you'll have to wait some more time. But if you want to try the beta pie firmware look under the note 8 guide forums and for SM-N950U/U1/W beta pie... but since it should becoming in a week or so just wait.
Atm pie is only available for the international models SM-N950F (exynos soc).

No!
Just remember once you go to bootloader 5 NO going back to bootloader 4.
Flashing the pie firmware will automatically bring your bootloader to version 5.
