[Q] Is this a T-mobile Note 3 or not?

I really can't find the answer here or anywhere. (i've been searching all morning)
I've been reading allot about it but know is me question.

Now according do this it is just a normal Note 3. I have another carrier in it with LTE working and everything is working.
BUT When i boot the phone there is a t-mobile boot animation. (thats all i can find of t-mobile in and on the phone)
I know T-mobile does this with all there phones and my last Note 2 had this to and i could just Root and Flash all i wanted like it was a normal version. Now can i also do that with this Note 3. And how can i know the difference between a T-mobile Note 3 and a International One.

Its probably only the T-Mobile bootanimation which is added. Should be fine to root it and flash custom roms on it if you want. Search in the T-Mobile thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile to be sure.

Open PlayStore Search For An App With Name Of Phone INFO *Samsung* You Will Get All The Answers.

Suggestions on how you specifically call this? I tried Branded, Unbranded, International note or T-mobile and all variations i could think of

Just to make sure bro, thought initialy you might have a US T-Mobile device Dutch T-Mobile devices are not branded, you can also flash a PHN (unbranded) rom from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/. This will not trip the KNOX void warranty.

I probably thought already so, but i didn't know what changed and didn't wanted to brick it from the start. And i really want to do custom so the KNOX warranty can kiss my ass. I never bricked a device by being careful and can change the hardware myself. And if i really need the warranty i buy a new phone. i switch every half year or so i never use that.
Thanks for the input i'm gonna have a happy time flashing

[Q] WARNING: NEW USER w/ NC4 question

Hello everyone,
So, I have been doing quite a bit of reading and I am trying to figure out if my version of the Note 3 is a rootable device. I have the NC4 bootloader from KK 4.4.2, but I can't tell if people are working on this or just on new versions of the NC2 version.
Sorry if I am totally out of place here or there is already another thread on this issue.
Much obliged,
Austin

First of all don't be scared posting a question the threads are pretty full of nonsense but as a noob you can't know everything (it's in the xda rules 2)
Second you need to state the model (n9005/n900t or like that) which you find in settings/general/about device as well as if you want to root keeping your phones guarantee or not.

@4aces
Thanks for your reassuring words. My Model is N900V and the Build VRUCNC4.
I am not really concerned with keeping my warranty, although it would be nice ... I just hope to find a reliable and safe method for rooting this device. I hear the Note 3 is a powerful tool when unrooted.

You need to do a lot more reading. I suggest you spend a few hours reading up on things before even thinking of touching your phone, everything you need to know is on these forums. Good luck.

I agree, it sounds as if you may not fully understand what you are doing. Read up on what Odin is and what it does and what you are flashing to your phone. Do not want to end up with a brick!

Galaxy Note 3 first time rooter
Hi everyone, newcomer here. Thanks for providing this community to help people out and thanks to Chainfire for making CF-Auto-Root.
I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I've never rooted before because I really like Touchwiz and the useful features it provides. I've read the main post for CF-Auto-Root, so I understand this is supposed to be the easiest root method that's supposed to retain stock Touchwiz and nothing more.
Before I take the plunge, I just wanted to clarify my understanding to make sure I really do want to go ahead with rooting my Note.
1. When you say CF auto root is rooting my phone, does that mean it's just achieving a "state of being" with the phone, and not really installing or modifying anything else with Touchwiz (besides SuperSU)? As in, everything is the same as before, Touchwiz is the same as before, and the only thing different is that I've gained permission to access more things in the software?
2. My understanding is that I shouldn't lose any data, apps, home screen app layouts, etc?
3. Will I lose any functionality in Touchwiz? Like S-Pen features, Samsung apps, etc?
4. If I receive an update to 4.4.4 or 5.0, will I lose this cf-auto-root state?
Thanks everyone for helping out!

CF-Auto-Root flashes custom recovery, which installs the su binary and SuperSU application and then sets back the default stock recovery. Everything else remains unchanged, including TouchWiz.

Most likely, though there is a chance, that su binary will not be removed, in that case you keep the root.

Yes it is. That download is for Note 3 with Device Type = hlte and Product Name = hltexx.
Just to make sure, as the download is based on Device Type and Product Name, check these info for your device with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (in GENERAL INFO section).

Noob question
*edit* I didn't see the older question asking the same thing sorry you can ignore this
Hello everyone I am new to rooting phones and I was looking into CF-Auto Root since it is said to be beginner friendly. I was wondering if using this method would wipe my phone of everything I had on it or would it just give me root access while leaving everything else on the phone the same.

I know XDA is a reputable site, so I don't have to worry as much, but I know that theoretically speaking, downloading things outside of the official Android app store poses a risk for being malware or spyware.
So I'm only asking this in the spirit of just practicing utmost caution, how would I know that the CF-Auto-Root file, which can be found through the link below, is genuine and untampered with?
