maybe.
I imagine you should only be excited if you have a developer edition note 3. The install requires a custom recovery and Safestrap doesn't actually count.
That stinks! They should put that out there lol.

Well, if you are looking for a ROM, then you will have to be rooted and the bootloader unlocked. If you are just looking for Note 3 apks, there are some floating around.

I want to get the S5 and I am getting tired of waiting on the Google Play Edition. If I go ahead and grab a T-Mobile S5 I would think we will be able to flash it to the GPE once it hits. Can anyone see any drawbacks to this that I am not aware of? TIA.

You'll be able to flash a ROM, but not convert it completely if they do the same thing as the S4. It will function the same, but no OTA basically.

Yeah OTA is not an issue as I have to have root for Viper, Xpose, etc. Besides with XDA who needs OTA. Heck they already have the S4 images before a couple of my buddies S's have even been prompted for the OTA.

The TMO S5 is pretty much the unlocked variant so you can do anything you want.
Well I think I'm going to grab a T-mobile version then if I can.

No don't do that. Just custom roms flashable in recovery.
I received a new s4 from best buy to replace my dna that was backorder. since the dna was completely unrootable and the phone I originally wanted was the s4 (couldn't get it because it wasn't out yet and family needed phones) I said I would accept the s4 replacement. the last phone I rooted was my old s2 so I see a lot of unfamiliar talk about the version of android on my phone about downgrading to root. could anyone update me or link a good guide to allow me to root my phone? would really like to root it tonight or tomorrow, it will be my only form of internet after I move Friday.

You can't get a custom recovery on any bootloader except mdk (mdk phones were only available during launch, you pretty much have to buy a second hand one from swappa with an mdk build)

I have a NC5 build, but for the life of me can't install a recovery. Tried CWM & TW, but still boot into stock rcovery. As a matter of fact if I open CWM app & go to "install recovery", it says both are installed. Suggestions?

Nope, Safestrap and TW derived ROMS are all you get.
I actually don't run anything but the stock ROM with Xposed and Wanam.

Is anyone working on a root for the AT&T variant of the Alpha? Please and Thank you.
Been waiting for a root as well. Hopefully a developer will come up with one soon. Loving the phone.
Yes, anything to allow me to remove the stock bloatware and install a proper adblocker. Surprisingly this variant of Touchwiz isn't all that bad though, at least.

I agree. Just want the Root and recovery. I heard that Devs are having a hard time because of the CPU.

Which CPU? Doesn't the AT&T version have a Snapdragon 801? I thought dealing with that CPU is easier than dealing with the Exynos.
Yes, waiting as well. Got my Alpha (G850A) as a replacement for my Galaxy 3.

Isnt all ATT phone are bootloader lock? That means you cannot install things like TWRP. If you cant install TWRP, then you cant install any cook roms. Correct me.
That is why people buy T-mobile phone to use on ATT.

At this point, since the phone is not well supported, there are no chances for root.

For the last couple of days i've tried to find a way to unlock my phones bootloader, but i havent found any answers yet. Its a shame because there are tons of beautiful custom roms out there that offer a wide variety of features and a huge performance boost. So, does any of you have a way to install a custom recovery?

Not possible. Locked bootloader. I doubt if it will get unlocked. But, search around for safestrap or flash fire. These will allow you to flash some custom ROMs.

you can kinda have safestrap on lollipop but it's kludgy. the safestrap splash screen shows up 5-6 times before the OS boots up
Try rooting with king root. There's instructions on how to remove it afterward, then try albe95's galaxy s6 rom on her. It's the only one I've been able to get connected to verizon's network. It runs way better than stock rom once you turn off the edge feature.
I'm rooted on 5.0.1 with Lollipop and my performance and battery are phenomenal. I changed CPU to 810MHz on all cores and changed governor to Interactive with a Deadline scheduler. It's smooth, hardly lags and the battery lasts 24 hours (original battery). I used KingRoot APK, and I have not had any issues at all. The only thing I really want that I can't have is xPosed.

I don't remember doing that, but it wouldn't hurt. Also, it seems not all OF1's are created equal. If you get Stang5litre booted, seems some can't, then you stand a pretty good chance. You probably know that anything can happen though.

I used Flashfire, yes. It worked for me. I think theres a thread out in the general section now. Nevermind old thread, different Bootloader, different framework.
Just use the Krait zip and Flashfire.
