The korean model has an unlocked bootloader and already has root. The US carriers will likely have locked bootloaders and won't work. No idea yet though...

If you follow the general section you would see that I successfully rooted my ATT G2 last night.

So I'm new to this forum, and I've done some reading and I'm a bit confused. I'm seeing some roms available making me believe that the bootloader has been unlocked and a method is out there on how to root and install a custom recovery. Can anyone help clear this up for me? Thanks!

the canadian variants are reported to come with unlocked bootloaders. the att i337 bootloader unlock hack will likely be released after the verizon sgs4 is released.

This forum is combined with other variants of the GS4. If you're using the AT&T Galaxy S4, your bootloader is locked and is going to be until Dan releases the hack.

Not sure what you're reading that would lead you to believe that. It works just fine. Did you even try it?

I would like to know too. If the LTE band is slightly different, can flashing rom adjust those things?
I want to know same thing. Can anyone help us ?

If your bootloader is not unlocked and you have no custom recovery, then I doubt that you will be able to flash any Verizon ROM. Unless you have something like Safestrap of Loki available for your phones.

Glad I found this post, I too am curious. I wonder if it will be like when I had the canadian s3 and could just flash the AT&T rooms just fine. Gonna hold of rooting the s5 until this is cleared up

Yeah, thats what I meant. Gonna wait in general until the rom variants are sorted, who knows maybe there will even be a way to root without trip.
Hey guys. I got a notification about a software update for my Rogers G900W8.
Was wondering if I should apply this update and would it affect root?
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I made a post about this the next day the S5 was lunch. Rooting wasn't an issue for me as for flashing ROMS, some are compatible here, just need to ask them first. I'm wondering if we'll get our forum as well.

I would think most roms would work, I'm just wondering about our modem and baseband. Is it just a matter of flashing our modems to ensure lte function.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?
On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
Hi i was just wondering if there has been a root method for the 4.4.2 OTA update. I updated a few weeks back and have been dying for root access.
The baseband version is N900VVRUCNC4.
Thanks in advance!

Like I said. Oughta sticky one of these so there aren't 8 million threads asking the same question.

Think there's any possibility we'll get it? I would hate to have to sell this device and move on
Im sure there will be in time?
Would we be able to downgrade thru Odin and then root and then flash rooted version of 4.4.2?

Doubt it...most of the devs that might be capable moved on from Verizon and really do not care. The reason being soon as a exploit is found and released it then is patched by the next update. It's a cat and mouse game not worth playing. There are methods out there that allow you have rooted 4.4.2, The sticky at the top of this section explains it all. "Never Accept OTA Updates".

No The Verizon N3 is model N900V and this article deals with the UK model N900
Also, in the UK the status of the Knox warranty counter doesn't matter. In the US it does.

J,
hi, until we get bootloaders unlocked for carrier variants OR get a safestrap working OR figure out if the tab 4 carrier variants
are succeptible to the RSA signature exploit, the answer is a solid , not yet.

I was under the impression that tmob had an unlocked bootloader. Because i have already flashed TWRP.

I was thinking the same thing and also have TWRP installed. I was looking now and still do not see any roms for this tablet.
