Current status of rooting/custom ROMs?

So I just ordered an AT&T Note 3 and from what I'm reading it appears that I should be hoping it does NOT come with KK preinstalled, correct?
Everything I see tells me that if I'm on KK there is no current root method, yes?
Also, if I am able to root am I able to use the custom Roms available? I'm coming from a Nexus 5 so everything seems much more complicated over here ?

Sure you can root KK roms, but KNOX will be triggered to 0x1 and warranty could be voided (depending on where you live). Btw i came from a N5 too

If I don't care about voiding my warranty can I accept the official KK update and still get root?
Also, how do you like it compared to the N5? Did you keep your N5 or sell it?

Where do you live? You can download the latest available 4.4.2 rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and flash it with Odin 3.07. After that flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery and you`re set. You can also flash a prerooted custom rom straight with a custom recovery. I sold my N5 cause i`am excited about the coming OnePlusOne phone and i might just try that one.

Yeah as long as the one I bought ships with JB still I can root and then update to KK it seems. If it comes with KK I'm without root for now I guess.
We'll see! Fingers crossed

lost Software upgrades

Hello All,
I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 phone which I used with AT&T number till April 2015. Later, I left the country and now using it with Airtel.
After I left AT&T, there were 2 software upgrades for the phone, I received none.
I checked with AT&T, they said they will not support now, contact LG.
LG said, I will get updates when it is available, but no luck.
Can someone help ?? Thanks.

Marshmallow 6.0 Update Coming in December

Though I had been told verbally from a Samsung engineer that our Note 5 would get the update in December, This is the 1st written confirmation from the U.K Times via phoneareana
So, basically we are about 4 weeks +/- from receiving our update ....... good news !!

Our note 5 as in tmobile note 5? Or as in international and it is being sent to tmobile to do their thing?

I think the written document is regarding the unlocked Note 5. However, T-mobile is pretty quick about their updates. I have hope we'll still get it in December.

Link isn't working for me either but I did see a notification stating the N920T will have a Marshmellow upgrade for sure. As much as I like to run the latest & geatest, the Marshmellow update is one that I will not be jumping on right away until I hear plenty of feedback on it.

my note 5 got marshmallow today somehow

What the hell you talking about? Not implying he was lying. Just wanted to see what it looks like & what the firmware version was so I can search for a download cause OTA is not an option for me. Sheesh

No, not really. It's not T-Mobile launched and it trips Knox. Don't confuse people.

Canadian note 5 gets marshmallow

http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-note-5-and-galaxy-s6-edge-marshmallow-update-comes-canada. Can we try to port one of these ROMs and try to get the voice fix for some of the international roms?

This sounds like an awesome idea.

I successfully flashed the Bell 6.0.1 PC5 rom to my Rogers SM-N920W8 <- when a suitable kernel comes out, can someone please let me know? spanks!

Getting mine too

Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I have the sm-g935v which I flashed to sm-g935u. I'm considering flashing it to sm-g935t since the unlocked firmware will be getting quarterly updates which is unfortunate, and I would like to use samsung cloud, FM radio, and now Nougat. Would I have to factory reset my phone back to the verizon firmware before flashing tmobile's, or can I just flash from my current unlocked firmware straight to tm? Prior to Nougats release, I had downloaded the latest tmobile firmware and tried to flash it with no success so not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OTA
Won't taking the OTA update certain partitions we don't necessarily want to update? Like the BL, for example? Could this prevent rolling back to 6.0.1 if there are issues? Or does this not matter since we don't have an unlocked BL anyway? Thanksssss

Apparently I do not see that update on my phone as of now

The update is for T-Mobile users using the T firmware. You are on the US Unlocked firmware.

I got this also and updated this morning. Very smooth and loving it! Did OTA update and one thing i noticed after updating i wasn't able to clear my cache like before. When i power down, hold all 3 buttons (power, home and up key) get a screen more like a warning saying installing other firmware's or roms can damage my device. Not the exact wording but similar. Has anyone else tried doing that and got the same warning msg?
