Hi guys.
I'm using Note 5 SM-N920A, my first ever AT&T Phone. I want to know whether I can root this phone or not. Plus I want to add A Custom ROM in it. Do we have any custom ROM for Note5 AT&T? If not then I would Like to Update the phone to Marshmellow
I currently have
Android Version 5.1.1

BaseBand Version: N9204UCU2AOJI
Kernal Version:3.10.61-7085450-eng

Only temp root for 5.1.1 is available and it sucks with the ENG kernel. If you can or know anyone who is good at programming we can get a custom kernel made and get full root.

Got a Note 8 (I467) for xmas, and while it's nice to play with, I really want a custom rom for it.
Does anyone one if cyanogenmod or any other custom option is available.
many thanks.

If you have AT&T variant then we have nothing, not even 4.2.2 or an unlocked bootloader. It's frustrating, but it is what it is. If you are looking for custom ROMs, look at a wifi only version or a different device.

As far as I can tell, we don't have any custom roms for the AT&T i467. The best we can do is root and a deodexed stock rom.
Root:

Deodexed Stock Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569865
Read everything carefully and don't apply the OTA CAMF2 update if you want to flash the deodexed stock rom.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
I think I'm going to start looking at this. ?
Hi,
I’m waiting for my LG G Pad 8.3 (still in the mail, should be here by the end of the week!!!) and I have a few questions about it. I plan to root it but I would like to know a few things before doing this as I’m not an expert with “rooting devices”…
1) If I root the device but not install any custom ROM or custom Recovery, will I still receive the automatic OTA update from LG? Of what I understood, if you don’t modify any “system” files, install custom ROM or Recovery, you should be able to get OTA update?
2) If I decide to install a custom ROM/Recovery and then want to go back to the stock ROM, Is it available for download? I checked (quickly) on the forum and I didn't see any link to download it (stock ROM from LG).
Thanks in advance!

1)you probably can not update ota on stock rooted fw. I had asked the same question to the developer of the root method for our devices and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

Thanks for your reply! If the update from LG will be available for download so I can flash it, this work with me! I might not keep the stock ROM too... I never had an android device from LG so I'm not sure how it look like... If there is too much bloatware (like Samsung), I won't keep it.

Just to make sure... Stock Kernel = Stock ROM? So the "LG G Pad Sock Kernel.img" is the latest version of the stock ROM from LG?

There is too much bloatware in this tablet just like the Samsung ones. In my opinion the stock rom is worthy if you want maximum stability or you need the lg apps.
No, kernel with rom are different things, google rom vs kernel. The stock kernel is for people who have flashed custom kernels and want to revert back to stock. If you look in the original android development section of these forums you ll see that there are 2 custom kernels and more custom roms available for our tablet atm.

Thanks for the info! I'm not very familiar with this but I'm getting there! I'm reading related post/subject (rooting device) on the xda-developers forum so this help me a lot! I should receive my tablet tomorrow or Thursday so I'll test/inspect it to make sure everything is ok with it and than try to root it.
Did you root yours? Are you using a custom ROM on it?

I had rooted it when dalingrin released the adb root method as I couldn't trust the kingo root method. Adaway and titanium backup are some of the top apps but these apps need root. Also you won't be able to move apps or games to SD without root. I flashed cyanogen mod 11 some days ago and I'm totally satisfied with it. The gpad became faster, with more ram available and with less battery consumption.

I'll use the root method of dalingrin then! I installed CM on my old device and I liked it so I might test it on my G Pad! There is no big issues with it? I know that it still in "Nightlies status so it might not be "stable". I'm looking forward to receive my G Pad!

CM runs stable on G Pad as of now. Very few features are lacking and you can check the CM thread nad if you have half an hour to spare you can go through the change log as well.
For the love of God, do not mistake a rom for a kernel. And remember that a kernel is usually made for a specific ROM. Kernels will improve performance on specific ROM's.. And enable new features under the hood and so on. But if you install a stock kernel onto a CM rom, it would be like filling a car with the wrong fuel and it would most likely get stuck in bootloop until you reflash a compatible kernel. - As stated above there are 2 custom kernels, one is ported for a few of the custom roms.. The other one as far as I know is pretty empty atm. and is aiming at becoming Play Edition-"like", I don't remember for what ROM. On certain mainstream devices you will find many a kernel and usually something that will suit your needs. Perhaps this will happen with the G Pad at some point.
Good luck on your rooting adventures and feel free to ask anything if you hit a wall at some point.
I received my G Pad yesterday! I rooted it by using the “dalingrin” method, installed TWRP and then CM11 (the stock ROM had too much bloatware for me!). Everything worked without any issue so now I can enjoy my new toys! I was hesitating between the Nexus 7 and the G Pad and I’m very happy that I chose the G Pad!
Thanks again for your replies/help guys!

I told you that it has too much bloatware, you did the right thing! I was also balancing between nexus 7 fhd and gpad and i picked the gpad for its 8.3" screen.
No custom roms or anything like that. Just a stock 5.0 for those that want to upgrade without all the other stuff and still remain rooted. Is there one?

Welcome to the VZN M7 Forums! I have successfully used sunshine to unlock my BL on Android 4.4.3. I did a lot of research on which recovery I wanted to use. I had in the past on my Motorola RAZR and Droid4. I tried CWM 1st. Then found out that I had a possibility of loosing root. Out with CWM and in with TWRP. I made backups of my stock rooted phone. Then I installed a deodexed (debloated) KitKat ROM. I got a noticeable performance response. Less lag. I then looked into kernels. I chose ElementalX for the sheer power control it gives me. But, the ROM I was using wasn't supporting the changes I was making. Solution? I decided to do a full format and fresh install for ViperROM and ElementalX kernel. Also, just bought the EX kernel app.
Current setup:
Current TWRP Recovery
EX Kernel 18.0
ViperROM 7.0.2
Woo that ex kernel looks nice. Do you know a ruu I could use to update my firmware to use those an possibly a link to the current twrp? I can't wait to use dt2w.

I only recommend going to either 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 since a lot of the M7 owners who have updated to Lollipop are experiencing issues of some sort.

I also advise purchasing the EX Kernel App manager if you really like the Kernel features. This way you dont have to reboot everytime you want to change a parameter
Edit: looking for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 RUU
Edit2: RUU found by another member
Use this to upgrade your firmware to latest version after that you can flash any rom you want

Yes i mean trickster mod. Actually i have a very little knowledge about kernels so it would be better for you to ask someone else and as for the RUU , I would recommend the lollipop RUU because it has the latest firmware otherwise you can use that 4.4.3. You can even flash the firmware only zip the first link in my previous post.
Uh well i installed the 4.4.3 ruu and flashed twrp then tried to install the ex kernel but it boot loops am i doing something wrong?

Yes for using that ex kernel you have to update to lollipop version it wont work on 4.4.3 its in the description of that kernel. If you want to use 4.4.3 only try to use some other kernel.
Is there a way to downgrade to 4.4.2? So i can use this?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600691 looking for a kernel that has dt2w or did i update and screw everything up?

Yup i'm on 6.22.605.3 i used the official ota to update just downloaded the two zip files and flashed them in stock recovery. I'm noticing significant lag and hanging problem since i updated to lollipop. I'm also thinking to downgrade to 4.4.3 using the S-ON RUU i like to use pure stock but i have s-off and bootloader unlocked so that i can downgrade anytime. Remeber one thing never S-On your device a number of people did that and now they have bricked phone. Good luck happy flashing :good:
Thanks for the info. Gana try downgrading after I drink a gallon of coffee.

Try to erase cahce and then reboot again if that doesn't work then either problem is with the sense version or somthing else.
Looks like i need to flash a insecure kernel first then flash ex kernel. Also you know where to get the most recent version of ex kernel for kk?

You can't flash the GSM version of ElementalX on a Verizon m7.
You can look for latest ported version in Verizon m7 original development section.
I forget what the last version posted was, as I port and modify my own...but I'm pretty sure Kitkat is there.
(Hi everyone)N7100 I wonder which is the most stable custom rom I can use. Can you help me? (Thank you)
Slimkat 4.4.4 I think would be a good contender, but I can't get it...
If anyone have it please fix a link or something!
I'm in the game of rooting at the moment, so, I would like to get that system and flash it unto my Note2!!!
