Well I welcome you're friend to the T989 community. This phone will be referred to as the T989 or Hercules, this is important to know when flashing a new ROM, etc.
This link will help you to initially root the phone. All instructions are listed in the link

As per flashing other ROMs, I would suggest you to install CWM or TWRP. The reason you should update is because the recovery in the rooting thread is quite old.
Link for CWM: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (scroll down to Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
Link for TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768742
Have fun and good luck!

Well this phone is proposed to get an update but no one knows when.
For the best Samsung jellybean experience I would suggest you to use Jedi Jelly. It is sort of like the official Jelly Bean update but its ported from the Skyrocket (both phones are cross-compatible with most ROMs). Currently it has no kernels because it was leaked on the Skyrocket.
As per the AOSP experience, we have a wide range of flavors. The 4.2.x ROMs are pretty stable with only minor bugs which get fixed almost every week. Both are CM10.1, AOKP and P.A.C man ROM. We also have 4.1.x ROMs in CM10 which come in CM10, AOKP, PA, P.A.C Man, Slimbean, Avatar, and some more.
Most of these ROMs are very stable, and if you're looking for the nice one, which is my personal favorite, I'd go for Slim-Star: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109841

I dont think that you need to unlock bootloader on this phone. It is never locked!

This is a stock Rooted ROM for the Canadian Note 3's.
Features
Stock - No Mods
Pre-rooted
Knox Removed
De-Odex
Busybox
MD5: 857208BD247791573D50539BA902A036
Big thanks to Turilo because he tested for me (and also asked me to make it )
I'm placing it in T-Mo because historically the Canadian branded devices do not have thier own forums. The AT&T forum is non existent.
Download HERE!
MOD EDIT: Download link removed with OP's permission.
Hit Thanks!

Copy to storage and flash with the latest TWRP recovery.
But in all reality, if your a newbie, then you may not find this ROM very useful. Its pure stock with KNOX removed. Its more geared towards other developers to build off from or for people who have the knowledge to make mods to ROMS and want to make there own personal ROM.
Its also a good starting point if you flash a ROM you dont like and dont have a back up readily avilable
CleanRom for the Note3= awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait.
Can anyone tell me if this did work on T-Mo phone?

I think AR beast is better. More customization and better overall hope I helped
I need some help. I'm pretty noob with all what is related to kernel and Custom Rom in general. I just wanted to know if using QPST method I restore the stock kernel, if previously I installed another one with a Custom Rom.
And if i doesn't, where can I find it?
