I have a topic active regarding getting my ATT Note 3 up to V.7 It seems as much as I love the Note 3, ATT and others don't want me to enjoy all it has to offer by putting up so many road blocks to getting it to a better state of being.
With that in mind I have a two part question.
1. Is there some place to buy a totally unbranded Note 3 or 4 that has no locked bootloader etc?
2. Is there another brand that has similar quality and function that is easy to work with regarding custom ROMs? ( I like the OLED display! )
( GSM for either ATT or T-Mobile use in USA ) I don't want to pay through the nose for a brand new or most current device, happy with older generation or good used device, but not even sure what to look for.

Has someone boiled this down to a list of some kind? Second topic has over 1000 pages. By the time I read to the last page, there will be 100 new phones on the market? LOL
There must be a top 10!
1000 opinions not specific

I did look around but way too many pages with far to little information.
Many people simply mentioned a make/model they like without any reference to it's ability to accept MODS or be rooted etc. I can make a list of available phones but that won't tell me if I were to buy any given phone that it lends itself to being rooted and modded.
That's why I was hoping someone with hands on for some specific models could point me in the right direction given that I specified the issue of locked boot loaders and not being able to install different mods.
That topic is too general and fill of likes and dislikes based on so many variables and I'm already 71! :laugh:

I'm a long time beneficiary of all the work done on these forums. Many thanks to all who spend lots of work for the benefit of those of us to enjoy rooting. I've never been a technology wizard but and I've always been pretty good at following instructions. The tutorials and instructions on these forums are amazing.
I'm about to buy a Galaxy S8 with the plan to root. I am on the Verizon network and I'm clearly not going to buy a Verizon phone with a locked bootloader.
Any recommendations on where to buy a factory unlocked phone that should work well with the instructions provided on these forums for rooting? Amazon.com is my leading contender at this point to buy a US version that is unlocked.
I have tried to get answers by asking questions about locked bootloaders on Amazon but get mixed feedback. I've also tried to get build numbers for devices that are sold but haven't been successful.
Many thanks!

person, I wanted to ask you, if anyone could develop or adapt a rom for NOTE 3 7502, because a lot of people have this device, and it has very few custom rom features, besides helping me, I believe it would help millions of people have this device, if possible, the rom of note 8 that already exists for note 3, the different model of neo, please believe that here in xda is not only a forum but a family that helps each other, who can help, I would be very grateful, to stay in kitkat 4.3 is not at all pleasant, from now thank you all for the attention. :crying: :laugh:

I don't have this device but, the following area of the forum is specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3
If you look at the Developments area, you should be able to locate something. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of those threads if you're not sure.
Good Luck!

models for all models, less for the 7502
Using a op5t as my daily driver, untouched running oreo. However over the past few years I've put many a device in hospital and don't wanna do it to my main phone as I need it working without bugs or issues.
Looking for options for a additional phone I can mess around with that has plenty of support still in XDA, obvs a 2nd hand nexus 6p would be amazing but the ones I'm seeing on eBay are a bit battered, I'd love to buy a brand new phone for my addiction. I honestly miss it all and just want a good machine to play around with?
Moto? Samsung? What would you go with? Without breaking the bank?
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I have been out of the modding scene since Samsung started locking the battery in the phone. My current G7E+ is falling apart and I need something new. I went to browse on AT&T devices but I'm pretty overwhelmed with choices, and have no idea which of these devices are rootable/moddable, or if unlocking tethering for free is still even an option.
Mandatory things:
unlock free hotspot tethering
badass camera
big screen
big battery
Any advice? Thanks.

Dear forum,
I am a long term iPhone-User who tends to switch to Android and is fascinated with the possibilities of modding. I also finished my first "project" and rooted/unlocked/customromed an old i9250 from a friend w/ 7.1.2 rom.
As an iPhone user, i am somewhat spoiled with years-long software-updates and i want to stay this way when i'm switching to android.
For now, i researched like 6 months which brand is the best moddable, but the results so far are a little bit depressing.
I can barely find ANY mod for ANY device that does not suffer from "bugs" that make it unusable like battery drain/no 4G/bad camera quality/wifi problems/old Android version/speed problems.
So far, i consider the best moddable devices are from xiaomi and - in a limited way - oneplus.
So I'm asking you, if money and specs ain't a thing and you focus in softwareupdates, which brand would you choose? Is there something i have overseen? Is my attitude wrong, is it normal in android-world to live with the above bugs?
Would appreciate a good advice/critics.
