Hey all. I just got my new Mate SE (BND-L34). Looks great. Smooth! I'm quite impressed with Emui look. I've been on Samsung Note4 so long. So far I think I'm gonna be happy with my purchase.
Anyhow my question? My device came installed with Nougat 7.0 but I can update to 8.0. I turned off automatic update for now.
So first, should I even update? Second, before I update is there anything i should do? Should I make a Nandroid of Nougat? Can I even make a Nandroid without unlocking bootloader? Cause I was thinking of staying stock for awhile for my warranty.
Thanks in advance!

Hey! I'm new to the Note 3 community. I bought it recently after getting fed up with the battery life on my Nexus 5. I bought it from Swappa with stock rooted 4.4.2. I did lots of flashing and modding on my Nexus and I had an old Samsung (DROID Charge) as my first phone so I've used ODIN a little but I haven't done any rooting/ROMing on my Note yet.
I'm excited to put Lollipop on my phone but I love WiFi calling so I've been waiting for the Official update. What is the process like to get me from stock rooted KK to stock rooted Lollipop? Should I wait for a stock rooted ROM to be posted so I can flash it? Or should I unroot then update OTA then reroot? Is it better to do a factory reset? As much detail as possible for a Samsung noob would be very appreciated! Thanks.
Grab a soda, maybe a snack, and have a seat. It can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days...to even a few weeks for someone to gain full root to Lollipop.
Just keep checking back to see when someone has it rooted. In the mean time, enjoy rooted KK and try out some of the ROMs. I'm part of the Tweaked family but some of the other ROMs are very good as well.
Lastly, WELCOME TO THE NOTE 3 COMMUNITY!!

Lol as the threads of rooted lollipop roms flood the General section
Enjoy and welcome to the community.
Salutations! Im wondering if it is a good idea for me to upgrade to Lolipop on the galaxy Tab S T800. Right now I am running stock rom, only because I still havent figured out how to get some good custom roms on my the device. My biggest concern though in upgrading is losing the ability to be able to use customs roms in the future if i choose to do so. I am still frustrated for updating my Galaxy s4 and having to use safestrap and being limited with which roms I could install. Is this a similar situation, that I will face if I do the upgrade. Also I havent found any good youtube vids walking me through how to get some good customs roms on the tab S.
Kind Regards!
Not much roms makers this days for our devices. Well IMO its ok to update to lollipop because the Rom is smooth makes everything snappy. As said in the thread there were those who are able to downgrade back to kitkat for some reason, so your bootloader wont be locked. And just wait lollipop roms will pop out soon
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:

I'm currently on ironrom now. As of now there's no aroma on the lollipop builds. But I'm running it now and it's really smooth.

I got this SM-P600 last year for my birthday, I shortly rooted it then installed a ROM and went on my merry way.
There have always been a couple nagging issues with the rom, infrequent random restarting and blanking out my lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers.
Its on the ND2 bootloader but the "fingerprint" says NH3 release-keys, so NH3 firmware I assume.
It is rooted, twrp 2.5 or 2.6 I think.
I just want to get the firmware updated and install a stable rom on it since the restarting and wiping away wallpaper is really getting on my nerves lately.
I have been out of the tweaking and modding environment for almost a year now and I don't know where to pick up again.
So I am looking for advice and opinions.
I need to find a firmware only page, or a way to update the firmware easily, or am I missing something here?
I'd like to hear about a couple roms people out there are using, why you use it and how long?
I'd like to know if I need to have the bootloader and firmware be the same version and if that might be why I am having issues.
Can anyone point me to the right place?
Hmm, I only root and run stock roms with some minor housekeeping, so cannot help you with your ROM issues. I would imagine though that anybody who could will need to know WHAT ROM you installed.
In the meantime, the best thread I know of for you to gather information is the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723420 ... Its an ALL-IN-ONE thread for the Note 10.1 (2014 edition). Please not though that the forum rules stipulate it is only for information sharing, not for questions, so you may want to visit there, catch up as best you can and then come back here with more specific questions...
Is there any reason you don't want to use stock? I ask because based on what you are saying, it doesn't appear that you chose a custom ROM with any particular intentions, but rather because ... well, apparently custom is awesome If you don't need anything particular, you will be much better off just running a rooted stock with some debloating to keep things spiffy. As of now, I believe the P600 is still on 4.4.4, for which root should be available. The LTE versions started receiving 5.1.1 updates last week and while it is quite awesome to run the latest lollipop, no root as of yet.
Cheers,

Not sure about this post and apologize in advance if its not appropriate for the forum, but i've read thru the forums and was looking for some people's opinion. I just received a new Note 5 (n920a) that i unlocked to use with T-Mobile. Since its new it hasn't been updated so it has the original Android 5.1.1. I'm aware of the tethered root and coming from an Xperia Z2, def not a fan of the bloatware and touchwiz UI. Just have some questions and was wondering what everyones opinion is (i know everyone says its all down to your own personal preference)
- I would like to update to Nougat and if i do would i still be able to tether root or does that require 'downgrading' back down to 5.1.1
- From everyones experience and their knowledge, what steps would you do with a fresh new note 5 that came with the 5.1.1?

Once you update to Nougat you CANNOT downgrade back to 5.1.1 if you even want root I'd suggest you not update the phone period in hopes that a full root will come around instead of tether root.. There's no root for Nougat anyway. I would seriously stay where you are so when FULL roots achieved you'll be able to use Chainfire's Flashfire to update to Nougat keeping your root access!
