[Q] - General Questions and Answers

Hello Developers,

Android Version: 4.4.4
I bought it from the U.S. with Verizon, and they said it will work in a global mode if outside the U.S.
I am now in my home country, but it didn't work, How I can Unlock or root it(prefered) to use the device including the phone and messaging apps.

Flashing Android 7 Nougat onto Cricket Galaxy S6

I have a Cricket branded Galaxy S6 model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ currently running Android version: 6.0.1 with Build number: G920AZTUS6CQB3. I don't believe Cricket is going to release Android 7 Nougat for the Galaxy S6 OTA so is it possible to flash another carrier's S6 firmware (like AT&T) without bricking my phone. And if so, how would I go about doing it?
You cant because ther is no TWRP for this model.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Chinese firmware and is an SM-9550(which is a Samsung S8 firmware)

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7, China, so apps like Google Play Services refuse to work, even when installed(It keeps stopping) and Google Play Store never logs in. I wanted to have the firmware changed, however,on looking at the phone's firmware, I found odd specifications.
My Samsung is an SM-9550(which is firmware that belongs to the Samsung Galaxy 8, from what I have found online).The seller's description was that the product was an SM9300 Korean version of the lock without the G930 S/L/K. I am looking for advice on whether it is safe to install the Korean firmware or an International ROM and which firmware(international preferably) will not brick the phone on installation.
Other extra specifications.
Model: (SM-9550)(dream2ltexx) 64GB
Chipset: Exynos8890
Kernel architecture:aarch64

LineageOS for Galaxy Note 3_N900_3G_India

I am new to the world of custom ROMs and never did this. My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (India version, 3G, model SM N900, SSN: N900GSMH, Baseband version: N900DDUEBPF1, Software version: N900XXSEBPL3/N900ODDEBPF1/N900DDUEBPF1). I have few basic queries:-
How do I know exact model, processor, etc details of my Note 3? Since I purchased in India and that time India only had 3G phones (not LTE), so assuming its 3G only model. Also inside phone after removing battery shows above model nos
After installing a LineageOS ROM, my phone will stop receiving OS upgrades? Will I have access to play store apps which can be directly downloaded or need some workaround to download apps (my usage is regular apps like whatsapp, gdrive, youtube, chrome, etc)? If workaround needed for apps, would those apps get automatic updates or always require manual install?
Which ROM is suitable for my model? Mine is currently Android version 5.0 which is quite old. I am ok with any stable version above 5.0 If I get Android 8/9/10, I would feel myself very lucky
Please help.

it's exynos not snapdragon, you're not in the good forum..look exynos note 3
How do I confirm that mine is Snapdragon or Exynos? I googled and found that in India Note 3 was launched with Exynos and only 3G model, so I believe I am in correct forum. Can somebody answer my original queries please?
