I'm using my T-mobile Jump tomorrow to get a Note 3. Of course, the first thing I'm going to do is: open the box, plug the phone in, then root it. I don't know much about this phone since I have been using an HTC One running Cyanogen Mod. So, My question is, what's the best way to unlock the Note 3's full potential? I.e: I see many root solutions, which do you prefer and why? By rooting and installing custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, ect), am I able to use ROMS on the International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 forums, or am I limited to T-Mobile only offerings? I wouldn't consider myself a NOOB, or a Dev, just an enthusiast who wants to help other enthusiasts, please leave your advice and experiences below.

First thing you need to do is to learn about KNOX, there are dozens of threads related to KNOX so
it's easy to find.
If your new phone is a NOTE 3 and you don't read up on the KNOX issue but simply go and root the
phone your warranty might be void afterwards.
You need to read up on the official 4.3 rom & the MK2 baseband which all new NOTE 3 phones have
before you root or flash any cwm/twrp flashable zip files including roms and kernels.
Once you decide what to do about the KNOX and still want to root your phone and flash custom roms
I would highly suggest to only flash roms in the Tmobile Note 3 forum, & only flash those roms which
are based on Tmobile 4.3 Jellybean Touchwiz firmwares.
Flashing any other roms will result in loosing the ability to use free tmobile wifi calling as well as loosing
most all of the bells and whistle which makes the NOTE 3 such a great phone.
In my experience with custom roms, the Wicked & Darthstalker roms are the only 2 that I would even consider flashing.
Do a lot of reading before you decide or do anything.
Good luck!
Vision X will work just fine, give it a look see also....

You can flash N9005 on your n900T. I used TWRP to flash Xnote Rom Bobcat Rom and Pro Bam rom. Also i flashed knoraid rom(AT&T) jus make sure you flash a t-mobile kernel.

Yes, I flashed the Bobcat 3.0 rom too, and it looks like a Million Dollars, best LOOKING rom I have
ever seen... BUT unless the dev who created it can get himself a N900T Tmobile Note 3 phone to
test with, we will never have wifi calling if we flash the Bobcat International Note 3 rom.
I flashed it a few hours ago and am still debating with myself if I want to keep it or not. LOL
Hello!
I have a SM-N900T Baseband N900TUVUBMI7. But unfortunately, there is no Russian System language (not possible to enable it through the setting.)
I live in Russia, in this regard, I have a couple of questions:
1. Does the Russian language in international ROM?
2. What ROM you can recommend with support Russian system language and the maximum cut off apps from T-mobile and ather (consist only samsung apps)?
This "abundance" is useless for me.
I would be very grateful for the link to the thread of this ROM.
P.S.Sorry for the poor english.
Can i Flash 4.4.2 Leaked for SM-N9005 on SM-N900T?.
Hi, can i flash roms for sm-n9005 on my t-mobile note 3?? specially the leaked 4.4.2 kit kat? Thank you.

Here is the link for Bobcatrom v3 EVO XDA thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498687
Here is the direct download link for Bobcatrom v3 EVO rom:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196459
After flashing this rom on a N900T Galaxy Note 3 phone you will not have
Wifi, Bluetooth or NFC until you flash this wifi-bluetooth-nfc-FIX.zip file.
So you need to flash the rom first, set it all up so it's working properly then
go back into cwm/twrp custom recovery and flash the fix file below:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...en900T/Needed_Files_BT_WIFI_NFC_Flashable.zip
After you flash the fix file, wifi, bluetooth and nfc will all work fine.
Good luck!

Sure you can, you can flash the 4.4.2 kitkat but don't expect everything to work properly,
especially wifi, data and many other things in it still need fixing.
That's why it's called a "leak"..
Good luck!
Does N900T have Russian language as a system language? I intend to root the phone and install Language Enabler from the market. The app reveals hidden languages but before I proceed I'd like to make sure that the phone does have Russian (hidden in it).
Thank you.
Hi, I have similar problem as escudovod1972. Live in the UK and have the T-mobile version (SM-N900T) of the note 3. Would like to have Russian and Lithuanian languages but keep the phone as close to stock as possible.
Was wondering if I could achieve this, by flashing one of these:
"International SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 Stock Firmware"
Will I need to flash a T-Mobile kernel separately?
Also if this works, will I loose any functionality?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Has anyone got any links for this? I have a friend in Russia, who is using a T-mobile Note 3 - he is able to use an app to switch to Russian, however, the System Language is still in English. Its Rooted, Stock, Currently. Running 4.4.2 I believe.
Specifics would be great! Thanks All - Be Well.

You can flash a unified rom aka hlte (more info: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/unified-builds) like cyanogen, carbon rom(using this on my N3 Tmobile in UK just now), AOKP and many more(safe to say that all have Russian), if you like the AOSP/AOKP look. Or go for X-note or other touch wiz based unified roms.
Anyways, take a look here for more info and rom lists: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3#romList
Hope this helps

Hello
I have the Canadian Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m with 32GB built in and I have a 32GB MicroSD Card.
The phone had Samsung's problematic Android 4.3 version... Then I tried the CyanogenMOD CM-11 M2 Android version 4.4.2 and CM-10.2.1 Android version 4.3.1
I was thinking of just using just going to CM-11 M3 Android version 4.4.2 as I posted all about here... Please read my link from the CyanogenMOD fourm... http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/89918-1021-for-s3-i747m-from-rogers/
But then I found on this forum the different Custom ROMs for the i747m phone that I have as shown here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att#romList
And I saw 2 youtube videos of the Hyperdrive ROM and I like all the features that it has and all the customizations you can do from it.
What I wanted to know is what Custom ROM will work best on my i747m and be most problem free and What Custom ROMs are still being worked on and updated regularly?
Also if you read my post on the CyanogenMOD forum you will see that I have CM-10.2.1 installed on my phone right now and I want to root my phone and my phone is locked to Rogers and I dont want to change that and I dont want to change my Baseband version either.
Please help me?
Thank you.

Also I want a Custom ROM that works with the MicroSD card... I dont care about App2SD support cause my phone is the 32GB version but I do want apps to be able to save directly to the memory card such as Camera apps saving pictures and videos directly to the SD card and being able to download files off the internet directly to the SD card and stuff like that.
Thanks again.
As XDA is not a support site, members are expected to do their own research and make there own determinations.
Please take the time to read and flash them to make the aforementioned judgments. Plenty out there to try!
Okay so I have a question I am hoping someone can help me with. I am on t mobile, I have an S4. Currently I am rooted and I have android 4.2.2 Alpha 11.0 Bioshock kernal 3.0. I installed it when it first came out and since then I have been MIA at work. I want to install "the Sickness" on my phone. But I wasn't sure if the procedure was the same as usual. I saw something about "safestrap" and I just wanted to make sure I can load the rom as I would normally. Thanks for any assistance, I did look around before I posted this but could find anything about tmobile. I probably miss somethings.
No safestrap, you can flash it normally but you'll also need to update your modem to NB4
Update the modem first?

Okay so I am very new to T800 (Samsung 10.5 Wi-Fi) as I just received mine this week. I am not completely a newbie when it comes to flashing ROM's. I have already rooted and installed TWRP on my T800. What I am wanting is a ROM that is completely Debloated (or has Aroma where I can pick what I want to install) without all the Samsung crap that came with it. I found this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
Has anyone installed it on their T800? I read through quite a few posts but can't find much for the new 2.1 version that was released on the 8th. I just want a ROM that is stock but without all the bloatware. Just a clean simple ROM but keeping the stock look. Can anyone help me. I have searched Google as well as XDA and maybe I am just looking in the wrong spots or not looking hard enough? My brain is on overload with everything I have read. Oh I have the Lollipop bootloader and would like to keep 5.02.
Please someone help? THANKS! :good:

Hello all
I am rather new to phones (Not everything else though, rather geeky actually), and I've been looking for a custom ROM for my S4 mini, but alas I have found nothing. There are a lot of ROMS for, say the GT-I9195, and I was wondering if these would work on my phone.
Cheers
Okay, I can confirm that a GT-I9195 build will work for a GT-I9197, installed Cyanogen 12
Hi there I have a S4 Mini GT-i9197 LTE version. Are there any ROM's available for me to flash ?
I have seen several ROM's for i9195 version but none for my device. Please let me know if any ROM's are available for me to flash.

Hi there!
Can you please tell me which i9195 ROM I should flash ? Whenever I flash any ROM apart from the stock ROM , the phone ends up in a bootloop even after factory resets and clearing all kinds of cache.
