Hello! I posted this on my device-specific forum earlier but got un-helped and so here goes attempt number 2.
I have a Note 3 SM-N900W8 from carrier CLARO PR and it is 5.0/lollipop.
I recently tried rooting it.. and did. However, I guess the file was meant for 4.4 cuz it messed up my phone and i had to do a bunch of random things to bring it back to life.
So my question is, can lollipop for Note 3 be rooted? If so, would you guys mind directing me to a tutorial?
I didn't provide all my device's information because I think the question is pretty straight-forward, but if necessary, I can provide it.

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!

So, I got this problem with my Android GT-N5100 (running Android 4.4.2). It keeps crashing apps suddenly and randomly. I flashed it with Samsung's official firmware and since then it keeps like that. I know that if I factory reset it, it's gonna be happening the same way.
I was thinking about flashing Cyanogenmod but my device is currently unsupported. That is.. There are only nightly builds available for it at this moment, and it takes too many hacks to do so, then I'm not risking it. I thought also that it could be a memory overflow problem... Maybe.. But every time I open the window manager it seems to have plenty of memory left. I use to kill apps to avoid that, but no matter what... You got it.
Would someone PLEASE link me to a stable firmware free of bugs like that or tell me what the hell is going on and how can I fix this problem??
I'm tired of it... Believe me.

Just took OTA update on 5.0.1 and lost root. Galaxy s4 M919V on Wind. Can anybody direct me to a thread to either downgrade or reroot? They reinstalled all that I removed. Cant even access TB.
Thanks in advance
Hi!
I can't find a specific thread on rooting your model, but I found this dedicated thread about your exact device...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303384
I suggest reading the last several pages of the thread and seeing what people are saying about rooting. If you still need help, you can ask in that thread too!
Good luck!
Hi all folks. Its been now almost one week(I've lost count of the opened tabs in my browser ) since I've started looking for a unlocking solution on my GT I9195(LTE version). Its locked on EE and according to some sources there is really no free method to unlock this particular device on this particular carrier. BUT, through my research I've found that I should mess up with PERSO SHA256 menu, which is not available on my device. So to make it available, according gurnted, I should flash MDL ROM and Baseband of my device, but I really have no clue what MDL stands for in the first place, let alone finding from where I do get these firmwares.
So, I would really like if someone could help me get directions and clues about these firmwares for my device...
Thanks XDA for making possible such a great place on the Internet.
Best regards.
