Hi Everyone!
I was hoping someone with more experience could answer something for me. Does anyone know if we can flash international roms on the n920W8 canadian note 5?
I remember back when I had a t-mobile note 5, I could flash international roms as long as i flashed a working kernel and flash audio call fix.
I would love to try international roms, but I can't seem to get them to boot up.
Any help would greatly be appreciated and I will certainly remember to hit your thanks button!!!
Yes you can.
Spend some more time reading around for w8 specific content/how to so I don't misinform you.
I use the n5 express version 5 from rmarinella http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-n5-express-1-0d-t3326638
I've tried some others that require doing some extra stuff to get working.
But that rom I install it and it works how I like with almost nothing I do not like.

Awesome and thank you for the reply. I did get that rom to boot up, but for whatever reason I can't get any of the other roms to boot at all.

i want new phone unlocked because my g1 is slow but i was curious if there was a way to know if the chinese android phone is flashable and using which rom? and which is a good phone to buy ...

It hasn't even been 3 hours, there's no need for a bump. Also I don't think those cheap knockoffs can be flashed but it's possible. First you have to root it though which is probably possible with one of the "one-click root" apps. Actually flashing one is a bit more involved because of hardware differences. Next time just get the real phone instead of a knockoff, save yourself some headache and heartache at not being able to do everything you want.
i actually have a g1 thank you very much handsome
Well then take out the "next time"s from my previous post and I stick by it. Knockoffs generally aren't that great. Getting the real version from a store is better, even craigslist or ebay.
I rooted my galaxy note replica with bin4ry it worked perfectly as for flashing i have flashed a few things but to flash a rom it would be harder because i have found out i would have to port the custom rom to work with my device.

What did I miss? Why the assumption that the OP is talking about a "cheap knock-off". Maybe he means a Huawei, or ZTE or something.
Rooting android from China
Ok, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but i'm desperate. I want to flash my phone that i recently bought in China, but i'm getting no where. The problem is that i can't find recovery mod that will work on my phone. If someone have any idea what recovery mod should i try, please suggest it to me.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Style Duos I-8262D.

It will depend on the device you have. You should search xda for your device name, but if it is a cloned device, you may not be able to find anything, because some clones are not well supported.
Around 6 months ago I had my phone flashed over to Pageplus cellular. I am now looking for a ROM that I can use and need some guidance on what my options are. I understand that some ROMs could mess up my flash, so I need to definitely avoid those.

AS OP is trying to change from an small carrier rom into a more common one, please DO NOT make this a best rom discussion. Thanks all.
Hey there everyone , i have a question can i flash Nexus 5 kitkat's official rom on my Galaxy s4? will it run okay? is it applicable?
No you can't, no it won't run okay, and no its not.
These two devices are completely different, if you flash the Nexus 5 firmware on your S4, make sure to get a rubbish bin ready because your phone will be nothing more than paperweight.
Don't ever flash another devices firmware to your device, this will break almost everything and its really hard to unbrick from there. Only flash the firmwares for your device only.
If I helped, don't hesitate to hit that Thanks button

It's good that you understood.
As we all know it was made for Verizon. I hate being on stock with prepaid of Verizon. The only custom rom I found that is touchwiz based, on 4.4 and for Verizon was superliterom. So what I'm trying to do is use superliterom by flashing it through safestrap 4.0. Now I have the nf5 module that was provided by the person who made superliterom and flashing the module made my Wi-Fi work just I've noticed some bugs. The boot animations never work. It's just a black screen. I keep getting that the system isn't responding and prompts to force close. Also I've noticed that it don't bring the on screen keyboard up even though it says it's installed. And the back, home, or menu keys don't work. So that being said, any idea how I can possibly rebuild the rom that's originally made for Verizon to be able to use on the prepaid side known as nf5 firmware that's 4.4.2. I really just am tired of stock and really need a custom one. Just one at least. If a dev could pick up on this an rebuild it for the prepaid side or make a custom one for prepaid would be greatly appreciated
Any help anyone? I know this phone is old but I can't give up on it
Any help would be appreciated guys.

The dev is still active on the SLR thread, saw him there today.
The other TW based custom rom for the d2vzw/i535 on the 4.4.2 bootloader is PaulPizz Rom. I'll see if I can find the link.

SLR = SuperLiteROM, yes he quit developing, but he is still there answering questions and helping people.
In my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) sgs7 us version with SD820 have locked bootloader and anything custom is really hard to do. People need to hack phone to do anything. With International Exynos version on other hand it's not as bad. We had custom recovery on first day and I do see ROM out there but it's slimmed down version of stock.
So it is possible to install custom Roms, but why there is none available. For years I've been using cm and I would very much to start using it again.
Thank you.

First of all, there are a few roms already available for the exynos variant, but they are all TW based. The reason why there are no other roms, is that the Qualcomm s7's bootloader is locked and it will stay that until samsung decides to unlock it. As for the exynos variant, the source code is not open which makes it very difficult for developers to build a rom. So before buying this phone, you should have done more research, because even if developers are able to build a cool rom like Cyanogenmod, then there is a very little change you will be able to use it as your daily driver. So this means that samsung is not developer friendly and it won't change until samsung decides otherwise.
This is the Development forum, not your own personal Q&A. Put threads in correct sections. Reported.
Lol it is q&a section buddy.
Thank you for your answer. I've gotten new Exynos Variant from work and I was thinking putting some custom ROM on it. Thank you for explaining this to me.
Cheers
