Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app

??

What I was getting at is I have a note 3 nc5 stock rooted and I have been looking for a original kitkat 4.4.4 and have been looking for some time,
I guess u would call me a nub..... But I can't seem to find what I want do u know some threads or have any advice thnks☺

Don't think 4.4.4 is released for our device as stock.

Agree with above... Hasn't been released yet!

Reportedly the N900P (Sprint Note 3) has received the 4.4.4 stock, but we might have to wait a lil' longer.

Ok, thank you

Ok so I have been searching all day and I can't seem to decide which custom rom is going to be running on Android 4.4.4,
But is closely built like TW

Note 4 has a different processor so the firmware isn't compatible.

Let me explain a few things which every new member seems to learn the hard way (I learned the hard way).
Let's take for example the i9505 and the i337. Both Galaxy S4s, both with Snapdragon 600.
I didn't notice the small, but brutally important fact that there is an ENTIRE FORUM for the i337 (I owned an i337), but tried to root it using tools for the i9505.
1. It didn't work.
2. I was lucky I didn't get a brick.
So, they look the same, they behave the same, have the same hardware, but for all intents and purposes, treat them like completely DIFFERENT devices.
So, if you flash the Sprint firmware...
1. Odin will most likely not let you do it.
2. Even if Odin lets you, you might:
a) get a brick, hopefully a soft one, around 90% chance this will happen.
b) around 10% chance - you get a semi-functioning device, with com.android.whatevers crashing ALL the time, no wi-fi, no calling, no NOTHING.
c) extremely unlikely option (some 0.00001% chance) the Sprint firmware actually works. And no, with 0.00001% chance of success I don't mean "it might work, why don't you try it?", it means "don't f***ing do that stupid s**t".

So I'm available available to receive the firmware for the NH7, but I am not really sure how this mostly security based update will do for me on a day to day basis,
If some has a few minutes to explain how I will be better of then I am now on nc5 sprint note 3

Wait to see what the international version does. US Branded has always been a different galaxy entirely.

Thinking of getting G3 coming from S4, is the current G3 stock still able to use roms

So as some of you may know the S4 had it's exploit fixed and since then we haven't been able to get away from Touchwiz based roms.
Before I go get the G3 I just wanted to be 100% clear that even the latest firmware hasn't fixed Bump, and I will be able to do other AOSP roms. From my quick research it seems like it's fine, but I only have 20 minutes left to get it friday instead of monday, so I figured I would just ask to be safe.

When Android Lollipop rolls out to G3 in the near future, rooting will be harder to accomplish. Same for other brands.

But that is recent enough that a phone bought today will not come with it out of the box, so I'm not worried about that.
And in theory I can just flash a bumped lollipop build later anyway right?
I just want to make sure it's not in the same current state as the S4 where you have to have touchwiz and match roms to bootloader version and what not.
I know there isn't too many roms yet with bump being fairly new, but as long as I stay on the current build I should be fine going forward no?
And I guess on that note, the stock rom isn't nearly as bad touchwiz is it?

Cool, I went for it, thanks for the quick clarifications. I can read all about everything now while I impatiently wait for UPS friday.

with LG phones you can always downgrade the software to a version where you can root.
I am sure there will be a way to get official lollipop while keeping custom recovery and root.
Once again, LG locked the door but forgot to close it before locking like what they did on the G2. So we were still able to upgrade while keeping custom recovery and root by mixing and matching partitions from upgrade and previous versions.

[ROM] 5.0.1 Android Lollipop Official Firmware S4

NOT AT&T OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
The ROM in question is a 5.0.1 Android build and according to the original source should be good for GT-I9500/9502/9508/9508v versions. The nice folks over at XDA have been playing around with the new software for a few hours now and it appears to be a legitimate official Samsung firmware as opposed to the recent Aurora ports of the leaked Note 3 software.
A few things need to be noted about the Galaxy S4 ROM, though. First of all it has a Chinese region, so even though English is available as a system language, along with two variants of Chinese, some system messages will remain regionalized and so will some functions, like the weather widget.
A stock English keyboard is also missing, but that is easily fixable. Other than that the build seems to be doing well in terms of functionality. NFC, sbeam, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G DATA, Wi-Fi, all sensors for motion and light, hotspot function, Multiwindow all seem to be in working order, as reported by various early adopters.
If you are feeling adventurous and decide to check out the leaked Lollipop software remember to back everything up, as update will almost definitely wipe your internal storage. And if you are a little bit skeptical and wish to wait for the official OTA to start seeding, it shouldn't be long now, as the ROM seems to be just about ready for public consumption.
~~~ FROM THE MODERATOR ~~~ This is not as easy as some may Think...... Caution and an advanced understanding of your phone is recommended before flashing anything "Cutting Edge" releases as this is ....... Caveat ..... Remember you, and only YOU, are responsible for what you do to your phone...no one else.......... ~~~ oka1

This isn't as easy as it sounds... for several reasons.
I'm not going to really go into the details but basically if your not a firmware with LOKI support you won't getting to run a 5.0 ROM on the S4 for the time being. Updates to Safestrap, among other things need to be made, and with the changes in Lollipop it remains to be seen if it will work. Not to mention the build is Chinese, would be better of waiting for the official update for the U.S, Canada, or the U.K
We'll see what happens though ~

It appears to be a ROM that you flash through ODIN. Would Safestrap and LOKI even matter at that point?

Even so, flashing it to your device will likely cause issues when trying to go back. If someone is brave enough to take the plunge go ahead and pull up terminal and check the aboot increment. Mind you, this isn't for our model and may brick your device.

We hopefully wait for lollipop for our beloved S4 it's matter of days already so we have to be patient

Its also for the Octacore variant I believe, NOT the i9505 which is similar to our i337 (minis it has unlocked bootloaders). So ATT Variants I HIGHLY suggest not trying to flash this

I337 is non compatible with this rom.. After install you reboot to recovery.. Appears there is now a i337 edition bootloader providing..

As this is not working for this model before someone damages their phone I am closing this thread
Please don't post firmwares as "Official" if they are not meant for the exact model phone

How do I root a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon (SM-G930V) Android Oreo 8.0?

How do I do it

I got the same exact one 3 days ago. It's on 8.0.0 now. I have been reading a lot to find answers how to root or install twrp. It looks like there is not a straight forward answer. Just development guides that are not so clear on if there is are for sure way to root or unlock bootloader.
Everything looks to lead me to the same answer. Snapdragon us variants like ours are bootloader blocked so no twrp. Can we use safestrap? What can we do to root and install custom? Even if it's it's a touchwiz. I have an s4 I'm also playing with. I wish my s7 could do what the the s4 does. But samsung us trying to let carriers like Verizon block our bootloaders Hendering our abilities to use the phones like we want. It sucks.
I hope for a method soon myself. I hope that someone can steer us the right way.

You echo my Frustrations. It feels good not to be the only one thinking these things. I think the reason there aren't any straightforward answers is because people are afraid of being sued. Why stop there? It begins with the owner of the phone who wants to root in the first place. They should sue themselves.
it doesn't seem logical to me. If I'm driving and, God forbid, I kill someone with my car do the people that taught me to drive get sued? it isn't an exactly perfect Analogy, but it's enough to start discussion, anywhere but here on this thread. LOL
Another thing is that phones are already very customized in that there are so many of them and they all function so differently even with the same ROM on a different provider Network does different things. it's probably difficult to give you the exact perfect set of instructions for your specific phone. Therefore knowing about Android and Linux and stuff is very helpful for filling in the gaps I will inevitably have. I have no such training and the times I have delved into it I"ve become completely lost.
A rudimentary understanding I do have. So I choose settings with the mindset of increasing the device lifespan, but nothing monumental.

The Qualcomm variants (your phone) are a little more difficult to root and there are several guides online how to do it but you have to make sure the guide says it is to root RK2 firmware on Oreo. RK2 has the December security patch i believe so there may not be a specific guide for that firmware yet but you can try and earlier guide which still works on your device after the December security patch.
This is to root G930V on Nougat from Jan 9 this year, it may work on Oreo too https://www.skyneel.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-verizon-sm-g930v-twrp-recovery
You could of course flash G930U firmware too which is unbranded USA and is known to work on Verizon devices. Sammobile XAA and USC. There is a modified version of Odin 13 to flash Verizon phones.

Still no 9.0 update for AT&T Note 8

I'm just about fed up with this whole android thing. I'm seriously considering going to Apple simply because the updates are brainless and quick. It's now January 2020 and I still don't have the AT&T update for 9.0. on my Note 8.
AT&T tells me a Samsung's problem, and samsung tells me it's AT&T's problem.
People have told me how easy it is to use odin to get it done, but I'm not techie, and I don't want to make a mistake. If there truly is an easy way to do this, I'd really appreciate some help. You can PM me for my phone number if it's a simple walkthrough thing. Eventually I'm gonna want to sell this phone, and I'm not gonna be able to do it if I haven't even gotten to 9.0.

I think you could take it to a best buy and have the Samsung guys update it for you.

You can use any of the latest firmware version updates because they're all the same exact thing! You can download the one that says it's for Verizon/T-Mobile etc etc and it won't matter you just need to do it manually using Odin like @TsunaXZ just said. I know you said you have never used Odin before but I promise it's not as scary as you think it is in fact you'll laugh at yourself afterwards because it's that easy!

I have never never got an OTA on any of my devices.The Note8..Note9 or Note10. And I was told the same as you. For..and this is just me, I would rather use Odin vs OTA. I have seen several people who went the OTA route and it didnt load properly. Like MrMike said, odin is soooo easy. Good luck

Same. I'm on some weird build that no one seems to get and I can't use Odin cause I don't have a computer. I can only use the flash zip via SD card method and I can't find an actual file that works. Are you also on N950USQS5CSA1?

It's N950USQS5CRL1. AT&T Note 8
Downloaded Odin, Samsung Drivers etc. But can't find the correct 9.0 firmware download. It's like
AT&T doesn't want you to.
It's supposed to be easy right? Feel free to PM me if you're interested in walking me through it. Or maybe just send the link?

That is EXACTLY what it is, AT&T has locked all of their firmwares down and they aren't accessible. You can go to the link below for some of the latest firmwares. I unfortunately don't know what the current AT&T Stock is because the carriers seem to be being just a hair off on their build numbers. So if you choose on to flash in the link below, I can't guarantee that you'll get OTA's
