Before I get started with rooting and flashing, what should I avoid, and what works for out T-Mobile variant? Should I stick to TMO specific ROMs, or can I use something from the Note 4 Snapdragon Development Forum. coming form a HTC One M8 where changing the CID basically made it a generic international model. Do we have the same options with N4?

In the past when I had the note 3 I used N9005 roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development . General rule of thumb as long it says N9005 for the note 3 then its a 80/20 chance that roms will work. I had some run perfectly with a few steps, like compatible kernal and patch for wifi/bluetooth/nfc fixes to work. In my past experience with using these roms, i learned that some will work and some will give you problems no matter what you tried. For example a rom i used for like almost half a year worked just fine, then a update to a new version updates and nothing worked. Kernals, patches nothing worked, so i used another rom for a while and then i went back to it recently and everything was working again.
So my advice is read every single instruction the rom developer has provided and make sure you follow it to ensure success. Read other FAQS and use the search button and so on. Most questions you may have, may already been answered by other people who post regular in the forums.
So based on this information, i believe this model is equivalent to N9005 Roms: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/ca552ee0
So look for roms that run N910s, from the link above it uses snapdragon processor, so hardware and it looks like the bands are close to US ones. So those are the roms that you need to look for.
One more thing I am not 100% sure if that is indeed the correct model to use, maybe im wrong and someone can correct me. Either way good luck and ask away if you have any other questions.

Hi All...waiting for UPS to deliver my pre-ordered Note from AT&T. I use Titanium Backup and also Amazon Appstore so I definitely need to root my Note...Do I use the methods already posted here on the forums? Or will it be different seeing as this is the US version of the phone? Don't want to mess anything up by using the wrong method to root. Also, what about ROMS? Can we use any that are already out there or do we need to wait until the official release of the AT&T Note for the Devs to start cooking for us?
Thanks in advance for any help.
i dont think anyone has the att version yet. so no test has been done
Try rage against the cage method with one click root. Dont bother with the cf kernel root and custom rom here. Unlike the old days of captivate and galaxy. Note is very different between these two models .

Please be careful when doing any mods on the at&t version of the note.
The chipsets are different. I think there is a thread somewhere warning not to
update the rom on the i717 (at&t) with the international (N7000) note and vice
versa. The exploit for one might not work on the other.
Might be best to start a thread on the at&t note forum, just to be safe.
So I came from an S4 and I noticed in the forum that you were able to flash some of other carriers(Verizon) roms onto your phone. I was wondering if that was possible on our note 3 with Verizon roms? Please let me know as I have been looking online but I can't seem to find the answer.

I think you can because Brian's Dynamic Kat rom also works on T-Mobile. It probably depends on the rom, ask the developer.
They can but they have to be ported over and you can't use any that use a custom kernel because we can't use those yet on att ?. There are a few ported ones in dev for jb, but not sure there is a Kk one from Verizon yet

Haven't had a note in a while and thinking about picking up a note 4. I am with T-Mobile and would purchase the T-Mobile version, I read about different variants and just wanted to make sure they could all be rooted, custom recovery and flashed without issue. In some of the threads here when people have issues, others ask what variant, etc.
Thanks

Get the sm-n910t (t-mobile version). Very mod friendly.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
The T-Mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked out of the box. You can do whatever you want with/to it.
I just purchase a T-Mobile Note 4 on 11/17/15 from one of their store. The model that I got is the SM-N910T3 and not SM-N910T. It comes with Android 5.1.1 installed instead of 4.4.4. You will probably end up with this model. Does anyone know if this variant is still bootloader unlocked? I also read that the TW 5.1.1 rom has root blocking enabled by Samsung, can anyone recommend a custom kernel that can override this to prevent a bootloop?
T is better for ROM Support VS. T3. T3 may be smooother

You want the T version for more ROM compatibility. The T3 version can be rooted and has a few ROMS but supposedly Samsung changed something in the phone so it has alot less ROM support. It does have root and 1 or 2 good ROM's though.
Root for T3

Did you ever end up buying this phone? I have been thinking about picking up a used one on Swappa to use as my daily driver until Samsung releases the S8 or Note 8. I currently have a LG V10 and even though it has an unlocked bootloater and root, there is zero ROM development for it due to issues with LG firmware/drivers.
Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3516196
flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
Well, It appears we wont be able to flash the international ROM. I assume this means there are some kind of optimizations on the T-Mobile version that we wont get on the international.
This really is a shame, i'd like to have dual sim + faster updates. But i need better support for my carrier (T-mobile) as i have enough issues Signal issues and MMS not working over wifi on my 3t, while my other unlocked phones Motorala x4, Samsung s8+ work without issue.

Flashing the international ROM is not possible for the T-Mobile device. Other custom ROMs are possible, the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T has a specific modem signature that cannot be modified. - Kameron S.

I'm planning to buy the TMo version and trade my original OPO for the $300 credit. Pay it in full, wait 40 days and request SIM and boot unlock. Then go to the official or beta branches of the OxygenOS and receive all OTA directly. I hope this can be done.
icantbreak said: ↑
No Beta versions because the bootloader is initially locked, or no Beta versions at all ever on the t-mo version?
chuckbort said: ↑
Is this "specific modem signature" the optimizations for the T-Mobile network that have been mentioned? And what exactly are the optimizations?

Thanks!
I reached out to a few staff members and got the answer that the TMO hardware will not be able to receive direct updates, this puts it out for Beta at this time.
The truly detailed optimizations I cannot speak to, I do know they went with a specific variant that works best with their network.

We'll see about that.
If the best we end up after unlocking the bootloader are frankenstein firmwares, so be it. Or wait for the rumors of a 845-wide PBL exploit.
Give it some time. Any customizations, such as the T-mo modem, will be pulled and released. It shouldn't be too long before we can flash an international rom and the T-mo modem. I wish we could find out more about the other customizations, though. For all we know there are significant changes to system RPC or kernel
We won't know any of these specifics till we can root the tmo variant and start pulling things more system level things.. shouldn't be too long now tho just gotta wait on OnePlus to send out the unlock.bin files.
