is bootloader unlocked? and easy to root?
I have the LTE version, but i think the answer is yes.
But recently there was only one (popular) Custom Rom(Temaseks Rom) for the wifi version, and none fir the LTE one. Now development for this CM12 or 13 rom is discontinued(may still be a good rom) and we neglected p605 users finally have a stable and current CM14, hooray!

Colleagues,
I have an SGH-i317 AT&T Galaxy Note II. It is rooted, has TWRP 2.8.1.0 and SuperSU 2.46 and TitaniumBackup all of which work just fine. I used Odin 3.10. I'm about to flash custom ROMSs CM10.2 and CM11. I have a couple things I don't quite understand before I flash. Hopefully someone can help. In the past, AT&T forced OTA upgrades so I'm at runnign rooted 4.4.2. (Specifics on my firmware are below.)
1. I know Android has broken a third party app's ability to save files to the external SIM. Is this problem inherent ONLY to vendor 4.4.2 builds like AT&T's, or does CM and other custom ROMS that are based upon 4.3 and 4.4 suffer from the same dumb limitation?
2. I've read online that the boot loader software became vendor-signed-package aware and is now a "locked" bootloader. AT&T forced my perfectly good 4.1.2 to go to 4.3 and consequently to 4.4.2. Is it not possible to actually replace that bootloader? If not, why not? Is that not possible at this time?
3. I noticed that for my SGHi317 that there is no such thing a an t0lteatt anymore for CM11 since they have merged their development branches. So will the latest t0lte work for SGH-i317? Do I need to do anything special other that flash it and the correct gapps to the phone?
Thanks for the help!

Hi guys
I am using SM-T807 (3g version for Turkey) and love the slate but i am stuck on kitkat
There is no lollipop upgrade to my 807 and i've tried all t807 firmware variants on sammobile but non of them work.
Also i cannot find lollipop bootloader (maybe T807T -Tmobile version- bootloader may work but i cannot find anywhere)
Now it sounds weird but i came up with an idea.
What if i flash a T800 wifi version lollipop stock rom? Technically after flashing i will not be able to use 3g but i will have lollipop. So after then i can flash any custom T805 3g version lollipop rom.
After all search i find this solution but any other solutions will be appreciated
Thanks....
First let me say that I am brand spanking new to these forums. I've some experience rooting before, but it has been years... Last phone I had rooted was the HTC Evo 3D (I still have that cool sonfa) which was years ago. Been out of the loop as far as things go. I decided to mess around with my old Note 4 (it's really not that old, I love this beast), so here I am. I've unlocked the bootloader and confirmed that it's rooted via root checker, but it's still in the stock 5.0.1 firmware... BORING... So I want to install a custom ROM and debloat this thing... I do have some general questions.
1) Any links to safely upgrading my note4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 ? (not even sure if this is necessary, you'll see what I'm getting at later in this post)
2) Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, that's it... Do I need to flash a new kernel before trying to flash a custom ROM? Again, are they version specific as to what android I'm using?
3) ROM's and Firmware... I see ROM's listed here that have 6.0.1 next to them, does that mean that I need Android 6.0.1 to install this ROM?
Example: [ROM] [6.0.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Jul 24, 2016]
That's basically all my Q's, thanks again for any help/guidance I can get here.
I have a neo SM-N7505 that I'm using to carry me by til cyber monday, after my nexus 6 shamu was stolen.
I'm looking for a stable to semi semi stable stock android ROM, as I dislike TouchWiz like a CM11, CM12 13 ports, AOSP etc but can't determine what is safe to flash with all the different variants of Neo's. Are they really all the same phone with different sku's because of the market they are sold in?
Would download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte be safe to use?
It came to me with Root in build JSS15J.N7505ZHUAND1 (4.3 kitkat) and I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Any help would me much appreciated, I've done my best to look at stickys threads and google around but I'm running into some broken links or out of date info and I don't want to brick it.
Hi,
I recommend you to download the AICP ROM or the CM 12.1 ROM as they are available for our 4G model. The link you want to try is about the Note 3 LTE.

Thank You Very Much!!!
I'm planning to get the G9600 since the Exynos has battery issues.
I don't need to install a lot of custom ROM's , I'll be happy with rooted stock and microG, even though I see that TWRP and unofficial Lineage is already available for the 9600
If I need to use VOLTE and HD Voice on ATT or T-Mob, do I need to install the US firmware? If yes, is it possible to root the USA firmware since the 9600 has an unlocked bootloader?
