Just to be clear, this is the T-Mobile thread and the most recent version is NF4 and it is rootable. Not sure if the version you're asking for was a typo.

I know this is the T-Mobile section, I have a T-Mobile note 3. But my firmware is on f6 and not f4 and when I Googled it nothing came up. Here's a screenshot.

Looks like a S5 Rom and S5 baseband

I really don't know, it could just be a side effect of a custom rom. Anyway lets assume you have already tripped knox, you should be able to run NF4 full firmware and then root with cf autoroot. I'm currently on NF4 knox tripped root and custom recovery

But my note 3 is on stock. Touchwiz and everything
What can I do to check if it's a custom rom?

How do you figure that? The version numbering doesn't match the S5.
Kernel and baseband info clearly state they are for the N900T.
The version number and time stamp look like a new release (Aug 15) for the T-Mobile Note 3.
So am I the only one on this firmware? Can I still downgrade to e6 root
I googled it - NF6 is definitely an S5 firmware as louforgiveno stated.

Yeah from what i could gather it appears that way, however I'm interested in the ".dm" at the end of the build number in his screen shot. Not sure what that is??

Wow, in the q&a thread there's a user who posted a screenshot with NF9 and it also has the .dm in the build number. All these updates...really not used to it....not sure how i feel about that....?

Any chance of a downgrade/root? Or should I wait it out.

Where are you seeing NF6 for the TMO Note 3?
It's in the thread I attached a screen shot

Note 4 owners over in the Verizon section are putting together a fair effort to investigate rooting themselves. We AT&T users should have a similar thread.
The Verizon thread, for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/talk-root-t2908919
T-Mobile and Sprint have CF-Autoroot but not yet for AT&T and Verizon. So (I think) a new root should work for either, all the more reason to work together.
In the Verizon thread the general process was posted:
Surge1223 said:
I have no vested interest in this (other than seeing vzw get screwed over) but someone needs to get the ball rolling here:
1. Grab the Odin tar then boot.img to get kallsyms
2. Post partition info
3. Grab kernel source and confirm latest Linux kernel cves are patched/not patched
4. Find PoC for Linux exploits for 2014 Linux kernel cves and port them to android and test
If you have to ask what any of the above are/do Google is your friend.

Feel free to read through the other thread for info on CVEs and stuff.
The Verizon owners have to wait for kernel source but I guess our's is already posted (N910A):
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=Sm-n910
SHA1 and SHA256 for the kernel source zip that I downloaded, for reference:
99e00529ce613548664f3c986cd7df886b54caa0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
9a5dfcbcd1b77367507b9374afd4f1e1afd505255ff48b4d3779b235974650c0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
This might not be necessary as someone like Chainfire may already be working on a rooting method, but we might make it slightly easier.
Any contributions by more knowledgeable people are greatly appreciated.
Anyone want to post their kallsyms, boot, or full image of an AT&T phone?
I'll try to post myself if I can figure out of I'm supposed to use Odin or if the way the Verizon owners got their's was with some Verizon-only tool.
We have firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/stock-to-stock-odin-flashable-tested-t2915915
The kernel source is here:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=Sm-n910a
That should get us started.

Nice! Yeah the kallsyms should definitely be in there.
Here are the kallsyms from the ATT image.
I've been googling but I can't figure it out
How do you get partition info from kallysyms?

You don't. The kallsyms are information about the internal kernel functions, useful for writing code which gets you root access.
Partition information sits in a .PIT file inside the factory image (if it's available), or you can dump it from a running phone.

They match the Verizon kallsyms. Good sign for finding a root method that works on both. :good:

They shouldn't match the Verizon n4 kallsyms... They should be different, if not then someone odd is happening..

I'll extract them again, maybe I missed something...
Edit: Gah, still had kernel.Image extacted from the Verizon image, and didn't notice the message saying "kernel.Image: already exists; not overwritten". The attachment above has been updated. My apologies, and thanks for catching it.
This may be interesting though. The nexus devices have a check box in the developer settings to OEM unlock the phone. Basically you just check a box and it's boot loader is unlocked.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-6-9-requires-checking-box-developer-options/
Maybe this can be used to find a loop hole on lollipop for this device. I think there could b be a small chance this device could get unlocked after the update. It might actually be easier.

While I appreciate the speculation, that's all this is, and at the moment we don't have Lollipop. I believe the OP specified good steps that should be looked into. I have downloaded the source code but am not exactly sure how to be looking for other then doing the steps as outlined: Finding the build date of the kernel then looking up know vulnerabilities in it. Obviously this is going to take a while and makes sense on where to look. Why focus on something we don't have when we could focus on what we do.
tl;dr We need to stay focused on the current task at hand. Also it'd be nice if this thread didn't get derailed with speculations.

I write custom enterprise software for phones. I own many including 2 different Note 4s. Most provided to me by my company. So no I still have the AT&T Note 4, I also have a T-Mobile variant for the time being. My team also has a sprint model as well.

I don't see it either. Their tweet says our phone specifically has been added. Not sure of the supported devices hasn't been updated or what. I'm kinda sketchy about trying stuff that I haven't seen discussed on here. Does anyone know if the stock firmware is available yet.? At least that way if someone ends up with a brick we can at least Flash it back to normal

Pretty sure the Verizon crowd already dismissed this method. Likely a hoax.
Tried to find something in their forum but nothing... Something tell me that this is fake
Tried it and didn't get root.
I found this YouTube video claiming to be a tutorial to root ANY note 4 device. To my knowledge no root is available for non-DE versions. My device is the SM-N910V which the video claims to be able to root.
Is the devoloper edition the same model code or is it different?
Here is the video.

You are 100% correct. Without the file being signed by Samsung it will not flash on a locked bootloader.
Hi, is there anyway I can convert a Galaxy S6 Edge from T-Mobile to International variant? I used to own a HTC One and I could simply change the CID and MID to be able to install different ROMs and firmwares form other Htc One variants.

I routinely used International Roms on my Tmob S5 no issues. Simply root then flash whatever. The Tmob variant used the Qualcomm processor so one had to just make sure they flashed the correct International version, which as far as Tmob goes, was the KLTE International model.

ok thank you. do you know what's the best ROM out there for the Edge right now? also can I flash stock international firmware from Sammobile site or not?

Never really a good idea here on XDA asking "What is the best ROM". It is so early in the game right now I would just watch the Forum posts here and on the XDA International site for ROMs as they come out from various developers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general
Here is a link to the general section for the Samsung galaxy S6 which references the International site. Plus I have no clue at this time if they will be mixing and matching S6 vs S6 Edge Roms, just because the Edge obviously will have a few more capabilities. Again, this is way too early in the game to be even thinking about a 'best Rom"
Also interested to know if it can be converted to international so I can get international updates instead of waiting for Tmobile to push it out. Flashing roms is a no-brainer. Now that all S phones have the same hardware, I'm interested in straight conversion like HTC phone(s) are able to do.

if I understood correctly , I have G920T (from T-Mobile US), I'll be able to upload the firmware of an international G920F. Settings of LTE will change just as it has a model F ?
What about the wifi calling? You would lose this with the international rom wouldn't you? I had actually been thinking about getting the international (for the green that us disenfranchised Yanks don't get) and then putting tmo software on it.
Considering we have TWRP it should be a matter of time until we are running international roms. If I wasn't going to work I would be flashing it now

I'm wondering if I should attempt to flash an international rom. We do have twrp of course and if anything weird happens it is an odin fix away granted.
I guess I'll be intrepid and try it out. I sort of need to have an int'l rom because I also need to sim unlock the device

Try it out and let us know. Watch out what you flash I'm Odin and take a backup. I'm on way home and since I took a backup already I'm gonna try flashing the Int'l debloated rom after awhile.

Hello Everyone,
I have a unlocked AT&T Note4 which I purchased manufacture refurbished from eBay.
I have been trying to update my Note4 using OTA, but I am still 5.0.1 and N910AUCU2COC5 version.
When I click 'Software updates' button, "Current software is up to date" is displayed.
Is it something because my phone is unlocked?
Please help me to update my phone to marshmallow.
Thank you guys!
J
Well I guess what you can do is update the phone via the marshmallow instructions in the general section of the at&t note 4 forum. Just Odin to DOI2 and use the incremental updates(DOI3,DOI4,etc) to get yourself to official marshmallow.

But what is official MM? I see multiple versions floating around and I don't know what the difference between them are. I'm on DOI7 right now and there's like an EPH5, EPG7, and I think there was one other but I can't seem to find it.

EPH5 should be official. There's a package that updates from DOI7 to EPH5 if I remember correctly.
