First of all are you using the phone on AT&T or is it unlocked and your using it on another carrier?
If your on AT&T then make sure you device is registered on your account properly.
And lastly your in the wrong section
You are not missing much. It lags and there is no root

Kinda agree. It's not ready for prime-time. Simple acts such as using the keyboard become a hit and miss proposition. Stay 4.4.2/4.4.4 unless you just really feel the need to be on the bleeding edge.

If you're using it on AT&T, you can get my dlpkgfile from my post about it. Place that and the fota_script in the /cache/fota folder on your G3, then look up how to update using a dlpkgfile.

Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.
I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure .
Thank you in advance .
You are joking, right ?
If not, yes.

Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries . Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.
The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.
As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.
Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears .

There´s only one Google Edition phone in Samsung, the S4. Still, you can get a "normal" S4 and still flash it like crazy.

Yes always have been since day one. Why would you want to?
All you have to do is flash the firmware via odin
Have you already tried Superuser? I've never unrooted before, but its an option in the settings tab.
I actually figured it out you're right about downloading the firmware i was just asking to be sure cause i was scared to do it since this phone is still new and all and i didnt wanna brick it but thanks guys!
i only unrooted just to install 5.1.1. i feel so stupid for doing it now cause theres no root available

I think they mean to say he can't find the firmware for his phone. I personally haven't heard of Cspire so this may be why. The MetroPCS firmware took a while to be found. In any case, find your firmware HERE but I can't be sure it may be there. Good luck.
Stock Firmware

If your model number happens to be a SM-G930R7, I happened to find a working stock firmware to recover the OS back to working order. If you do have said model, I can set the files up somewhere for download and you just do the usual with Odin.

Android version: 7.0
Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
