Hi folks,
Newbie here and just bought a Note 3 Neo N7505.
It came 4.4.2 out of the box.
I would like some advice on below questions:
(a) How to get a full back up of the original OS (4.4.2) before rooting the device? I guess this is called Nandroid or something. Can this be done without rooting? Is it same as downloading the specific OS from sammob*le.com?
(b) Once I root the device is it possible to receive OTA firmware upgrades in the future if I temporarily unroot it? (let's say 4.4.4 or Android L is released)
Cheers to all - thank you

Greetings fellow Android Users! Hope you are doing fine wherever you are. I have been following this forum for quite sometime now and decided to write this new thread because i am in need of help. I am new to android having changed from blackberry a few months back and decided to get the Galaxy Note II GT-N7105. For the past few weeks, i have been thinking whether or not to root my phone to get better customisation of your device but is afraid of tripping the warranty with KNOX. I would not think twice if i surpassed my warranty period but i've only gotten this phone for about 5 months and it really got me thinking. I am residing in HongKong now and purchased my phone from there. I did some research on this forum and came across this thread: " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261 " and would like to ask a few questions regarding this matter.
Here are the details of my phone:
Model No : GT-N7105
Android Version : 4.3
Baseband version : N7105ZHEML1
Build Number : JSS15J.N7105ZHUENA1
I want to know if any of you GT-N7105 (Hong Kong Phones or any other) users have successfully rooted your device without Tripping KNOX, hence does not void the warranty, using the method on the thread i posted above or any other method? And also, If you have successfully rooted your device, do you recommend installing a custom recovery like Philz Touch in order for you to flash a Rom? Will you be able to also update the latest software from OTA (Samsung official) if they released it? Or you have to manually do that? I appreciate your time reading this new thread i hope you guys can help me. Have a nice day :good:

HI all,
I'm an LG noob and just got my first one after years on Samsung. I want to go to Lollipop, and planed to start with the official ROM till I get to know the phone a bit better. I was under the impression that the 5.0 update was released, however, after browsing round, it seems not for the UK... is this correct of have I missed it?
I'm on 4.4.2 Build JDQ39B, baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190050. Does this sound right?
Thanks in advance.
Hi folks,
I'm a bit confused after reading many threads.
I'm thinking of buying an ATT SM-T707A. But I don't want an unrootable device. The locked bootloader is very annoying but for the use I have in mind the lack of custom OS options isn't a big deal. But I need root.
So, I presume a new one from ATT or online will have (or rapidly update to) Lillipop. Is Lollipop rootable on the ATT 8.4 707A?

Hey,
I'd like to know this too please... the only way I have seen people rooting the T707A is with Kingroot - I just tried now and LP and it doesn't work
Cheers,
Su
Hi guys. Recently, i bought a Galaxy Note 5.. but i didn't know the problems affiliated to this version.. the AT&T version... Very difficult update without ota, same for root. So, i now ask for you and we maybe can start a discussion thread. Is possible to do root now to this phone?
Only on lollipop so far. Please read through the threads before starting a discussion that's been covered!
So is better to have 5.1.1 but rooted? And there's a metod to edit build.prop without root?
Hi there, i just bought this phone and it is already rooted, i tried to upgrade OS (it have Android 5.1) but for my surprise i cant because of root, im really new in all this and i need help with some things like...
Can i upgrade to Android 7.0 with the rom from the official page ?
My phone was SIM unlocked via Unlock Box, it is probably to have any problem if i update my OS ?
Which is the best Rom that you tried ??
Greetings.
