I am too in dilemma -
I found out the information that might help you choose the phone.
Galaxy s3 - LACKS FEATURES OF GS4: ( international versions)
IR sensor
Air gestures
Full Hd display
1 gb less ram
150 ppi pixel density difference
13 mp cam in s4, 8 in s3
Gpu powervx vs mali 400
Thats it - covers most of features.
My self planning for GS3 because:
-Small 0.2" difference in screen size
- I Use Hd - 720p movie at no need for 1080p display
-1 gb ram is enough - multi Window works flawlessly
-camera is awesome
-more cm support currently
Only I will miss 441ppi in s3
Further with 4.3 update sources says
It will include - smart Pause, smart scroll in s3
Also the camera features.

Thanks!
MOD EDIT:
This is not a Samsung Device and does not belong to any forums.
can u share it? i really want to use that custom rom looks cool!!! :good: is it stable?
...let me begin with "you don't have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900" as Samsung never employed Mediatek SoCs.
Never.
And considering you have a replica of the thing and managed to boot an Xperia port and have CWM is a miracle by itself and no small amount of skill on your part.
This is fake note 3. Home button is to low
Sent from Galaxy Note series
Fake Note no its a Chinese MTK model not a Samsung model .
If you search Google you may find a forum for MTK6572
Thread closed.
This is not a Samsung Device and may mislead Note 3 users to a point of damaging their device.
This is my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, and my question is:
Is this thread for my tablet as well? I didn't find a thread that match my model.
hmmm.....have 4/64 and 6/128 5G versions and both have only one front camera
Other than that, would say yes. But as there are some HW differences, obviously some things would not relate to some models. Then again, considering the trend of having 84385 variants of the same crap, would be ridiculous to have 8484 subforums for each and every one of them of them.

When you say 2 cameras, do you mean the 2 levels of zoom you see in the camera app ? That's just digital zoom,
Its the Inware System Information App, that say i have 2 front cameras. I have found out that this information is false. This Inware app give false information about the camera.
Hi, I am just not getting it. Spent money on two phones to see if I can unlock and root them, and it is not my forte! Don't even know where to start because there is just too much information out there when I search online.
Is there anywhere I can just buy a rooted device, or pay someone to do it. Since every search on the Internet leads back to this site I thought I should ask it here. If I am in wrong section please let me know.
Thank you
As you want to root your phone, I'm assuming you know how a phone works and how to differentiate models and variants!
You can't buy an already rooted phone, as none come with it. If you want a phone that is easy to root but still good for a daily driver, you have to know the following criteria:
- Very popular brand (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo)
- Has to have a Snapdragon processor (mediatek phones are harder to root)
- The specific device should be popular on XDA (examples include Redmi Note 8 Pro, Poco X3 Pro, most samsung S devices that have Snapdragon processors)
- Samsung S (s22, s20, s8, etc) only have Snapdragon CPUs in countries like the USA and I think China
google pixel or oneplus are great

yeah, but if you buy a oneplus don't get anything above the 8 lineup as they just get worse from there
and if you get a pixel 6 series i can't guarantee anything about that tensor chip being even bootloader unlockable

Search for "rooted android phone" on Ebay. Do your research and make sure you know what your are buying, though. Also check the vendor ratings of the seller.

recipy for DISASTER. don't buy a pre rooted phone, who knows what keyloggers and spyware can be put alongside that root? i wouldn't risk it at all, in fact i wouldn't buy any daily driver thing from ebay outside of like a phone case
Thank you for the replies. I will keep reading and researching. I bought a Motorola G Stylus (2021) just now, and gave up on the Samsung s10e. So far I have been able to get adb and fastboot working. Reading on XDA to figure the rest out.
Very popular brands (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, etc) tend to lock down their devices entirely. one can't just unlock bootloader from fastboot. beware of random guides, they often outdated or too broad.
before buying a device
- get confirmation that bootloader actually is unlockable (with regards to android version/carrier/branding etc)
- check community development is active (TWRP available? custom ROMs?)
you can do so by reading the proper section to device model on xda-developers
(if you can't find it, don't buy it)

about every phone is on xda, just that many don't have populated Roms and Kernels sections (ie: huaweis) so make sure it has 7-10.000 messages at least if you want a really good starting point
Nobody should buy an already rooted phone.
You should ever re-flash the full stock, format data and then, re-root the phone by YOURSELF.

Hi, do you have any specific model you can suggest? Considering the following:
I want to buy an android that I can root for sure, no matter how old it is as long as it runs Android 6 at least, I need it to be as cheap as possible, and I want to buy it in USA, compatible with T-Mobile carrier which is the one I use
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3F9BRF9 and it was compatible with TMobile but there's no TWRP or info on how to root it, so I'm seeking for some old phone that actually works and is rooteable. I want to run some experiments but I need root access.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I found several Samsung S7 on Ebay that could work, do you think it's a good match for rooting?

No, I don't. I only know that OnePlus Oppo Realme devices belong to bbk and are hard to unlock with fastboot disabled.

Xiaomi devices are still unlockable, but you have to follow special procedure, and it doesn't work for blacklisted devices.

what I have heared about Samsung, unlocking is not officially supported for US/Canada devices. also branded devices like cricket, verizon, etc aren't unlockable

There are channels to buy pre-rooted phones, but I assume that we are not supposed to publish these things on XDA.
Cant create a work profile because a security policy prevents the creation of a work profile because of a custom OS installed on Samsung Galaxy Note 9
Hi @Code1804
Welcome to the xda family.
I am not a Sammy guy and I can not answer your question but, a quick search seems you might be in for a bit of a challenge.
I found an older thread that talks about using an alternate (second) user instead of profiles.

You might be better off asking your custom ROM developer about it.
Take a look and/or ask for help in the Note 9 thread(s).
