Hello.
Ever since I bought a Galaxy Nexus and found XDA, my life changed. Without noticing I got infected a virus: addiction to Android.
My Nexus got outdated quickly and now is pretty done and I need a new toy. 3,5 years later I finally got some spare money to buy a new phone. Since here in Portugal the minimum wage is around 500€ and top flagship phones cost around 700€ (and there's no affordable contract to get something cheaper and still nice), I had to wait until now to get a used Note 3 for 300€.
I love the phone's design and above all the specs. There's no other phone with 3GB RAM and Snap 800 for this price and I always liked big sized phones.
Well, I write too much unnecessary info... I need to stop
Let's get down to the point. I will get the phone tomorrow!!
TL;DR
How do I check the bootloader version? I want to flash TWRP right away and maybe install a Note4/5 port or something stock Android, do I need to be careful with the bootloader?
I know from other phones (i.e LG G2) that any custom rom uses KK bootloader and the stock roms use their respective version bootloader. Is this also true for the Note?
Also, which version of TWRP should I flash? Does it depend on the stock rom version that I have?
Checking if the device has 2.3x GB of available RAM, if Odin and Recovery have their stock aspect and if the S-Pen works is enough to ensure that the Note I'm getting is truly original?
Well, that's all. I'm sorry if I'm asking the same questions everyone does. I'm used to Nexus so I'm afraid of bricking the Note with dumb moves. That's why I am taking my time to read every important thread and asking here some doubts that went into my mind while doing the required reading. I have no warranty (no box nor invoice) so I can't afford to mess up with the new babe
Cheers!

this app will help you confirm your phone.
then you can proceed flashing twrp and supersu, things are so easy for N9005
and Welcome Aboard
Install phone info samsung from playstore. It could tell a lot about your phone.
To make it easy as long as the phone is running with android version 4.4.2 and above you should use twrp 4.4. If 4.3 use the right one for 4.3.
Sent from my SM-G925F
White Note3 do you have? There are several versions made by Samsung.
Regardless of the bootloader on the phone, I recommend using the latest TWRP as the latest TWRP can be used to flash all ROMs and zip files. Find your device from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/
Before moving to custom ROMs, I also recommend installing the latest bootlloader and ROM.
Not sure if your phone still has warranty but if it does, I would not change the ROM or root because doing either may trip the knox counter and void the warranty.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it has 4.4.x or lollipop. Should I update to any of those versions (just in case it comes with 4.3) first and then install TWRP?

The phone doesn't come with box nor invoice so I don't have any warranty xd
What is the number or version of the latest bootloader?
What is the model # of the phone? There is the n-900t, n9005, n-900w8, etc.
N9005, it's the european unlocked version
The model # is important when asking questions because the AT&T version of the note 3 has a locked bootloader so it's more complicated to flash custom recovery and to get root.
If you want to run custom ROMs, I recommend upgrading to the latest modem and bootloader, install a custom recovery, back up your stock ROM, and try some custom ROMs to see which one you like.
Look for the tar version of TWRP for your phone from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/
You can flash TWRP with Odin.

So, by upgrading to the latest official rom avaiable I'll have the most recent modem and bootloader, right?
Do I need to follow the order you mentioned: modem->bootloader->recovery->backup->croms or can I flash TWRP, backup every partition, flash most recent modem and bootloader (not sure if I can flash a bootloader) and then install croms?
No, only flashing a newer custom ROM won't update your Bootloader and Modem. You will need to flash those files separately via Odin. Then you can flash the custom ROM you want. The order is simple. Get a custom recovery first, TWRP. Then update your Modem and Bootloader. Then wipe the device from TWRP (full wipe, take backup beforehand if you need) and flash the custom ROM of your choice.
Safest way to upgrade the modem and bootloader is via ota update on a completely stock unrooted rom with stock recovery. After the phone is running the latest rom, then start with customization.

I have the phone and managed to update it to 5.0 -> n9005xxugboa1
Is it the latest version or should I update it to another one?
BOD2 appears to be the latest according to sammobile.com: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/

I'm from Portugal but the phone is unlocked (no carrier) and they only have firmware for carrier notes... Which one should I download and flash?
Also... with a G2 I flashed a .kdz file (official rom) and ended up with a bricked phone (later fixed via warranty), but I have no warranty in this phone, how can I make sure that the file is safe?
Just check for software updates from your phone.

It says the phone is already at the latest version. I've cleaned framework services and checked again but got the same result.
Try removing the SIM card and moving the date ahead by two days, then try again.

Done that, no update avaiable. Connected to Kies3, no update avaiable.
Is it really in a old version? It's 5.0. Do I really need the latest version to start flashing a recovery?
Also, can I use the recovery without flashing it? I want to check if it works nicely before flashing if it is possible. TWRP can be used to flash any rom right? I'm interested in trying darklord first.
Yes, you can flash recovery without updating. I suggested updating because the update probably deals with the stage fright bug.
I love my G2 so much because of the current ROM i am using and for what I use my phone for, I really don't need anything better. The problem is I fool with it so much I am concerned about it wearing out or breaking so I want to buy a backup G2 in case something happens. I imagine a new or used one would problably come with the latest firmware (5.01 or 5.1.1) and I am concerned about being able to root it. It's been so long since I rooted my phone (I think I used ioroot originally) and I haven't kept up with newer root methods so I don't know if they work with the latest firmware or has Verizon closed that door.
Is there still a way to root a G2 VS980 if it comes preinstalled with the latest lollipop updates from Verizon?
I searched through the forums but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Thanks for any advice...
Yes. Please search on LG One Click root. I have rooted my phone LG G2 F320k variant on 5.0.2
Thanks for that info. I saw the OneClick thread, but I was concerned about something they said on the first page about not working on 5.1.1. I didn't read through the whole thread so maybe that problem was resolved and the original post was never updated.
I'm really going to die soon. I spent the whole day trying to restore my IMEI as I don't have the original box (bought it second hand just the phone alone) and did not have EFS back up prior to flashing.
So, the whole mess was when I flashed Dorimanx for D800 instead of my variant which is D805 (my careless mistake, the title of the page was really confusing). Ever since, I lost my IMEI is shown as 0 or null so does my baseband. I then flashed ResurrectionRemix, PowerG2, etc. but still unable to get any mobile network connection.
I've tried reverting to stock KitKat firmware but to no avail. I've flash other modems as well with no success. I've even tried the QST NvManager switching from Windows 10 to 7 and re-installing the USB drivers numerous times still no luck. I followed so many forums and watched endless youtube tutorials none of them can fix my problem.
I'm really desprate, please help me.
how can the tile be confusing.? even qhen you go to download page theres all the variants. was kernel really the culprit of this.? am not really sure that kernel would damage imei and baseband i think flashing bootloaders do. twrp wrong rom. ect. you should post this in the q&a thread. i know some have restored imei.

Dear @raptorddd
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry. I did not blame the kernel as in whole context but rather my careless mistake and take note I suspected my problem was flashing the kernel for the wrong model variant so it was not actually Dorimanx's issue, no offense I even admitted my wrong-doing.
Anyway, after reading your reply at least there is a light to my answer. I will do some more research on bootloaders for my exact variant because most of the threads found here are for D802 International while mine is Brazil (Latin America) although I'm from SEA.
I was very happy when I see 6.0 MM on this frakenstein device but now I have this network problem making me sad. It's like having an old car with a new engine but no wheels. Please help.

I don't know how a kernel can wipe your imei. Have you changed roms succesfully before? Have you used ioroot on it? Ioroot makes efs backups automatically. That would help.

@raptorddd @Art Vanderay
I figured out. My phone is actually the D802 variant. It is obviously shown at the back of the case and when I open the back case, the model number is also printed just underneath the battery D802. I thought it was D805 because when I bought this phone it was already rooted and running PowerG2 and the model shown at the About page was D805. This is why I started looking for stock firmware for D805, TWRP D805, Dorimanx D805, and everything D805. So, when I downloaded ResurrectionRemix 6.0 MM, that was when my phone started to act weird but I'm very sure it was not RR issue as well. I wipe all my partitions without making any backup just before I started flashing things. I've done this 1000 times with no problem and this is the only time I got it wrong. I've tried flashing the bootlader changer aroma, then KitKat bootloader stock and still no IMEI, the phone number shown as unkown. I now got back my baseband because I flashed the KitKat baseband.
I'm going to start all over again today, and I'm getting all the files for D802 instead and will let you guys know if I can restore my IMEI back. Thank you for your participation on my thread, very much appreciated.

I'm sorry, I have a soft-bricked phone right now with no spare phones, so I don't have WhatsApp at the moment but thank you really for your effort and offer. Can you explain on the forum instead of TeamViewing so others that have this problem and reading this thread can solve theirs? +1 for you.
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND THE ANSWER ALREADY. Please ignore the caps, this is just to show you how happy I am.
I've spent approximately 48 hours to figure what the heck is going on.
What I did was:
1. Flash stock firmware Brazil KitKat D805 .kdz through LG FlashTool 2014.
2. Use ioroot25 to root it via adb.
3. After rooting, download AutoRec.apk for KitKat and install that.
4. Download TWRP bumped latest and flash it to replace AutoRec's old version of TWRP.
5. Flash Dorimanx KitKat 10.9 (at the time of this post) or latest.
6. Flash KitKat stock baseband and modem for 20d.
After rebooting system, everything is ok. I got back my mobile network now. So happy!!! I'm requesting the moderator to close this thread as my question as been solved.

I'm not sure also. The back case written as D802 and just below the battery also written as D802. But when I tried to go back to stock I was unable to use D802 firmware but only can use D805 stock firmware. I'm now on Google Edition 1.3 the model is written as D802. When I try to flash stock D805 firmware I can't get through already. Im not sure why but as long as I can use the phone right now, I don't want to bother so much about that.

So far, Google Edition 1.3 is the best/stable among all other ROMS that I've tried like Power G2, RR, etc. Nice battery life, 100% in the morning and came back from work still have another 30%-40% (usage mainly for WhatsApp, Facebook, internet browsing occasionally, no movie/music/games-just COC once or twice). This is the most straight-forward ROM and the closest to Stock Lollipop from Google without any other 3rd party apps and bloatwares. Very stable, no FC, great camera, and knock code gestures (flashed additional QuickMemo+ which isn't included by default). Awesome!

I was on 6.0 and went to 5.0, then rooted it, unblocked the bootloader, flashed lineage.

Jiwan, would you mind sharing the procedures here or a link to them? I have the SM-903VL model, and while I understand it's a different device, it may not be so dissimilar. I have been attempting root and twrp flash for a while and it seems 2 things are at issue, 1. I had no clue what I was doing when I started, and now, while I have some knowledge, I realize just how much I am going to have to learn If I want to figure out a root method.
2. This SM-903VL is locked up tighter than a nuns corset.
Your knowledge on the afore mentioned procedure would help me understand the workings of these phones a bit better, and, on an off chance, might actually do the trick of at least getting twrp installed.
I have the stock recovery file to insert into the TWRP.

If I could revive and piggyback on this discussion - I'd like the help you offered with getting my g900v re-rooted with TWRP running. I had a nandroid backup and accidently deleted the TWRP, which forced me to re-stock and re-root. I have not been able to recover with safestrap (not impressed) also, I kept getting gapps failures once up and running (Lollipop 5.0 rooted). My initial goal was to flash resurrection or lineage and now I am finding that most instructions say the G900v is not unlockable and I feel stuck. Would you mind sharing with me what your method was or point me to a link that you followed? - I think my chipset started with 11 (as opposed to 15) if I'm using the proper terminology.
Hi All,
Complete noob here, so please be gentle!
I recently bought a new, "unlocked" LG V20 from an auction site.
The trouble is it came with AT&T carrier ROM, which being in the UK and not on AT&T means that it's stuck with the all of the branding and no access to updates.
Build number: NRD90M
Software version: H91010I
Android security patch level: December , 2016
If it's at all possible, I'd like to flash it with a generic non-carrier LG ROM, but unsure of what ROMs are safe to use on this phone, or exactly how to go about doing it.
I've looked at lots of forums and Youtube videos, but many of the links I've found are broken, or the instructions assume a level of previous knowledge that I don't have.
I'm not looking for the very latest firmware, or any trick customisations. I just want a phone that doesn't annoy me!
Can anyone advise what ROM to use, where to download it, and step by step instructions to install it without bricking my phone.
TIA

Being on 10i dirty santa method may work
I always stayed with stock rooted debloated roms on the V20. Most all the custom roms don't support the second screen or have something else I just didn't like.
I have a stock rooted Oreo thread in the developer section that I used for months until I got the PH1 [emoji16]

Use dirty santa, to unlock the bootloader and root, then you can flash 996 rom which should be unbranded

Try Super Rom. It's bare bones. No bloatware from LG or ATT.
Follow the steps here to flash TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500. I'm having trouble with backups fully restoring, but it works otherwise.
I'd imagine you could install Super Rom right after you can access TWRP, but I haven't tried it. I did it after flashing 10r.
Download Super Rom and put it on your SD card. Flash it after wiping everything https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-superv20-h918-t3764390. During the installation, it will ask you if you want to flash a kernel. Select mk2000. The speed difference is astounding. It's slow and lags without the kernel, but extremely fast if you include it. Boot system and set it up. Then go back to TWRP and flash SuperSU for root.

Try Super Rom. It's bare bones. No bloatware from LG or ATT.
Follow the steps here to flash TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500. I'm having trouble with backups fully restoring, but it works otherwise.
I'd imagine you could install Super Rom right after you can access TWRP, but I haven't tried it. I did it after flashing 10r.

Wrong! Flash root immediately after you flash the rom
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
You can just flash a US996 KDZ using patched LGUP, unticking modem. Don't accept OTA updates though
Thanks all,
Not been ignoring you - just crazy busy.
So if i understand correctly, the 996 rom will give me a stock, unbranded V20 with the 2nd screen working?
Is there any particular version of the rom to look for, or any to avoid.
TIA (again)
Update
I posted something else here, which wasn't relevant.

Just flash the newest US996 KDZ, don't worry about modem (they're both GSM only devices, so US996 modem should work on the h910, and it'll also change the unlocked-bands to US996). Use the patched LGUP from this forum, it allows cross flashing
