Should I switch from my A40 to a Note 4? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My A40 has been crap recently (can't install ROMS etc.) And the newest note phone that has a simple bootloader is the Note 4 I have a Note 3 and the experience is great on it. So should I get a Note 4?

It's a good phone but:
as there are many posts about emmc failure of these devices I wouldn't have bought it knowing that in advance.
You never know when it happens and have no chance to avoid it.
If you can get it cheap, it might still be worth it as some guys offer repairing/resoldering it.
Don't take N910V Verizon, as these are very hard to flash TWRP/custom ROM onto it.
N910C with Exynos CPU are said to be faster than N910F Snapdragon but not that well supported with custom ROMs.

I'm planning to buy T-mobile note 3(N900T). I just want to know if I can install different note 3 roms(ex: N900, N900) or it will brick my note 3? Can somebody explain to me? I don't see a lot of roms on T-mobile note 3 forum. Thank!

Switching to the GN3!

Greetings all!
I plan to switch from my Galaxy S4 to a Note 3. I inted to use CM11 on my new phone. Coming from the GS4, I've managed to dodge the issues regarding the locked bootloader. I was wondering if such an issue exists on the Note 3, and if so, how to avoid it. Which firmware version should I be aiming for?

AFAIK, Note 3 AT&T has a locked bootloader.
International version does not have locked bootloader.

N9005 is what you want
CM11 means knox 0x1 and it is not possible to reset it back to 0x0, just so you know.

Any Rom working for our AT&T locked bootloader? Any?

Hello everybody in this forum and happy new year 2016!
I've been spending time reading old Note 3 forums and is been hard to find any good Rom working on our AT&T Note 3, because our device has Locked Bootloader.
Actually I am running Phronesis Rom V. 2 and is great so far no lag, no complain. But I would like to jump to another Rom because this is the higher version I can run on my Locked Bootloader Note 3.
Is there any other Rom you guys know is 100% working on our locked bootloader AT&T Note 3? Hopefully with Lollipop 5.0.x + or Note 4,5 port for ours.
Please post links to try them.
Yes I am noob, but I don't want to rid of my AT&T note 3 for now.
Thanks in advanced for read my post.

So much confusion, thanks samsung.

Hi people,
I am thinking to flash a custom rom on my n910c. So still doing my research which rom fits me best.
But I came across some rom specific listing the devices as NOTE 4 INTL, AT&T, T MOBILE etc.
Well, my question is, can i flash note 4 intl roms on my n910c? What is the name for n910c so i can find roms easier? There aren't a lot as far as i found..
Dont recommend me any rom, as I know that sort of break the rule here. I just want to know the code name/name for n910c so i wont potentially hard/soft brick my n910c.

n910c is just a note 4 with exynos cpu, on n910c you can flash only n910c
n910f is a note 4 with qualcomm snapdragon
they are both the NOTE 4 INTL
n910a is at&t
n910v is verizon
n910p is sprint
n910t /n910t3 is Telekom
i think there are a couple more variants of note 4, but you can flash roms only for your device wich is N910C

Custom ROMS for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910S, Korean Variant)

Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-nemesis-refined-v3-5-n7port-t3587637
I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.
