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.
I dont mean to hijack this thread, but can I flash any Intl S5 Rom to my Tmobile GS5?

No don't do that. Just custom roms flashable in recovery.
How come this phone is out for over 1month now and there are no custom roms for it? Referring to the G850F European version here.
I want to get this phone so bad, but having to deal with fail touchwiz will make me sick... I want a proper slim rom on it

Nothing yet brother. We are all waiting for some Devs to get interested in this phone so we can do the Root, Rom, Recovery thing! Samsung screwed it up by making it exclusive to ATT when the popularity could of gone higher if it were in more wireless companies! Thanx Samsung! Just give it time. The phone just came out and hopefully a Dev will jump on this phone soon!
I will soon buy this phone!!! In greece is unlocked to any carrier and almost every shop sells it...i hope they change the AT&T thing fast!!
I have bought this phone with the hope that cyanogenmod arrives on this device. Maybe the problem that blocks the interest of developers is the chipset exynos 5430...

But who cares about knox? It's just some useless "feature" that makes no sense (booting on a different OS to keep your data "secure" wtf is that bs about really...) and warranty void is nothing to be afraid of, if u have a perfectly functioning device you won't need the warranty... just want a fking custom rom to get rid of bloatware-touchwiz and make it all black and awesome ...screw knox!
I make contact with edenmony,m8 who like to make rom for us
this is his answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56209236&postcount=23
we must try to find help if we wont ROM recovery come to us
I also try contact with Note4 m8,who develop Recoveryfor exynos model
but still dont get reply
What happened to the threads in the developer sections?
there no development thread at all m8,only chit chat
Correct. There were a couple in there but they were deleted. Just wondering why. I understand no actual ROM's are available but there were discussions.
AFAIK they were moved under "General". It was just "Join Forces" and "Root Galaxy Alpha" threads. I don't remember that there were any other threads.

guys ..i will make a recovery for you all ... please provide me the boot.img , recovery.img and build.prop .... as soon as possible
Decided not to buy one anymore, not worth it since I will just be getting annoyed at Samsung's TouchWiz... Will recheck forum in 1month or so near Black Friday and see if there's anything new.
Till then, I wish you gl, it's a great phone (perfect form factor) but the OS on it is utter fail and I wouldn't last a day, would be switching to my S2 with SlimSaber ROM in a glimpse

Might be a stupid question... but my co worker wants me to root his Note 3 and I see chainfire's auto root is for lollipop OA6... His Note 3 is on OH1 - will this work without bricking his device? or is there another root method out there for the Note 3?
Thanks ahead of time!

I believe that firmware (OH1) is for the Glalaxy S3 not the Sprint Note 3.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint to get what you need
Good luck
actually, OH1 is for sprint galaxy note 3, as of August 3rd, 2015.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52971/N900PVPUEOH1_N900PSPTEOH1_SPR/
to bosswick, i used Odin 3.10 to flash my note 3 to stock using the above firmware.
then i rebooted back into download mode, and flashed the .IMG file for TWRP recovery through Odin.
then i rebooted into recovery, and from within TWRP, i flashed the latest SuperSU 2.4.6. i had root upon my first bootup... not sure if this will work for you.
im bumping this in hopes that someone responds... will any new roms be cooked based on this update?

OH1 is a security update for the Stagefright app you can find info here http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ServiceAdvisory_542_GKB59201-dvc7770003prd#!/ as for new roms it depends on what base is used, the security issue showed up in Lollipop 5.0, but was not a problem in KK NK4. I don't think it is worth updating to OH1 as it only fixes half the problem, as already determined in this thread by JoHnNYBlaZE716 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/stagefright-fix-t3180092
I did OE1. Rooted via odin the regular way to root, then twrp via odin, wiped, and tried the pac man rom. It was cool but spen didnt work

You need to download Spen Buddy from the play store. It will allow for the Spen to work with CM based ROMs.
Now that we all have unlocked bootloaders with "developer edition conversion" on our Verizon note edge, we got root and everything ...But no roms or that good developer stuff I know there's people out there with the skills required to make this Phone great again...we just gotta find em...in the meantime though...post all the things you know are flash able on our notes, ROMs, kernels ?
you are right
That would be awesome if there was more development for it.
I flashed this a little while ago, it worked-ish, but I wasn't a big fan of it and went back to stock. Just note that *some* other ROMS *may* work

I just flashed that ROM...liked the concept but I honestly wish it didn't have all those extra things that ruin the stock look...like the notification bar and the super low dpi on the home screen, thanks man I'll be trying all sorts of Roms from other threads and update you guys on how it goes
I'm hoping some development happens on this phone too. So much potential for cool ROMs. Anyone want to start a bounty?

I gave this a go but instead of using the Kernel supplied in the thread, I used the one from the verizon marshmallow unlock thread.
It booted (took a good 5mns to boot), has 4G, and I'm going through the setup right now.

It's a N5/S7 port, so no Edge apps, but the S7 People/App Stripe is there
Edit: Fully booted and rooted. Working pretty good.

I'm looking to get started with porting Roms to this phone. I have thoroughly enjoyed the stock features, but I miss the ability to change to something else whenever I feel like it. I know that it may take me awhile but I'm going to give it a shot.

reflash your stock tar in odin and go through the bootloader unlock again and try another that way. as long as you can get your phone into download mode it is never really hard bricked.... usually... sometimes....
Hey guys don't want to jump ahead of the gun on this one, but want to let you know I am downloading 4 marshmallow roms that should work on our devices, and tomorrow I am going to load them on my rom machine and see if I can decompile them and get them going for note edge using our boot.img and the custom kernel posted in the marshmallow unlock theead.
I don't promise anything, and I can't upload them when I'm done cause I haven't gotten permission from the original devs, I don't want to waste their time just in case it doesn't work, one of which is completely free of all touch wiz related material and has xposed running on the MM os. Pretty big deal considering how xposed likes to kill samsung devices running 6.0
More info tomorrow after I test it a bit, for now good night all.
I just picked up a mint condition Note Edge (915V). Id like to start working on a ROM for it, but it would be nice to have a base to work with. Anybody have a flashable stock Marshmallow (CPD1) ROM that's 100% untouched (deodexed preferred). Still has all its bloat.
I used to make a ROM this way for the Droid 3, but that was a little easier than it is now. Id like to help out the lacking development for the Note Edge.

Anybody willing to test PAC ROM 6.0.1?
I have been making ROMs for the N915F and N915T, and, by God's grace, they have been working.
I do not own a N915V, so I need some testers, if anyone is willing. Here is a link to download PAC 6.0.1 made for CDMA phones:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/7he853zinf6x3f7
You may need a data fix zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/marshmallow-6-0-1-ports-data-fixes-t3379978
You will need the unlocked bootloader.
I *think* you will need to be on a 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, but you can try on 6.0.1 also. You will need TWRP, preferably 3.0 and later, although cwm may work too, and this may or may not work. I am pretty sure it will boot, because of a tester I am working with, but the more testers the better. I need actual details, like what modem/bootloader you are using, if it did or did not boot, install, work, etc. Screenshots help me visualize what you are talking about. Etc.
If it works, we can make more ROMs.
I can't tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Still testing my next ROM version for my 915V

New Root Method For Note 8 SM-N950U/U1 V7 Bootloaders
Rooted Nougat RomThis is last nougat rom made for note 8 it is prerooted with flashfire and safestrap preinstalled. It has CSC stuff for all carriers added. Its debloated slightly with knox removed. Some stuff may not work but im not sure as I cannot test but this stuff may include fingerprint and or face recognition. If stuff doesnt work it probably related to using pie modems and non-hlos on a nougat rom which you have no choice.
Downloads
Rooted_N950USQS3BRB4.rar
BL_N950_NOUGAT_V7.tar.7z
Includes Fingerprint and Face Unlock fix for above nougat rom. Just flash in BL slot in odin after everything else
Safestrap-4.10-B03-GREATQLTE-PIE.zip Will boot straight to safestrap only for pie roms
Safestrap-4.10-B03-GREATQLTE-NOUGAT.zip Will Give you the safestrap splash screen on boot
Directions
Safestrap Method
1. Extract system.img from the Rooted_N950USQS3BRB4.rar and copy to phone reboot to safestarp and flash system image reboot to download and flash BL_N950_NOUGAT_V7.tar.md5 in odin
Good luck testers.

@jrkruse Was there a particular reason RJ1 was chosen as the base combo instead of RG2?
The only difference I heard of was that RG2 actually was the DRK repair, where RJ1 did most of the other stuff.

it doesnt matter what v5 combo I am only using bootloaders on rooted rom and you just flash full combo system to be able to reboot to edl mode. The goal was to get root so safestrap can be used on Pie and thats been achieved.

When flashing "COMBINATION_FA71_N950USQU5ARJ1_CL13942288_QB203914 89_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 "
should I press BL+AP+others or just BL?
similar question, when flashing COMBINATION_FA71_N950USQU5ARJ1_BOOTLOADERS.tar should i select BL only or AP?
My baseband version is N950U1UEU1AQ15 build number NMF26X.N950USQU1AQ15 but I see different versions from romreactor below, am I still ok to flash?
One main question, which V5 firmware version is best for this root method, as I am still on firmware N950USQU2BQLA.
The V5 firmwares range from android 8.0 Oreo to 9.0 Pie and thus my question is out of all the V5 bootloader versions below which one is best for this root method for me to update to from my current version.
N950USQU5CRG7,
N950USQU5CRIA,
N950USQU5DSC1,
N950USQU5DSD3,
Also, couple newbie questions, 1. pre rooted firmware means Android Pie or Oreo with root access enabled right?
2. Does this root method allow you to flash custom roms of pie?
Ok, so I have been out of the rooting game for a couple of years now due to needing an engineering kernel and then losing 20% battery capacity. With this I am interested as I am running 5DSF6 currently. With this, are we only able to do the initial rooted ROM and have root access and customize from there or can we load different ROMS? Also, are kernels still out of the question with this method as well?
Also, congrats on getting this to work.

There is only root available for nougat. The whole reason for all of this was to get people a pie rom that has the ability to boot to safestrap. Now this isn’t root but in safestrap you can flash zips just like you can with twrp or flashfire you can backup data or delete apps or modify system files and most everything you do you will still pass safetynet . Of course you can run a prerooted nougat rom or make your own but you would have to run the combo bootloader and boot img so your stuck with those limitations. Nothing has changed since this phone was first rooted with samfail method.

People on v3 v2.5 or v2 or v1 bootloaders there is really no reason to stay on those older bootloaders since this method works for v5 if you choose to use this method you will be updated to v5 bootloaders

Ah ok... so to be clear and for those who may be seeking the same question:
Is the battery still stuck at 80%? (Unless one charges to 100% in DL mode.)

Also to add, for those who are on 7.1.1 Nougat like me and several others who want to preserve the BL, just know that once you roll up you can not roll back. I think it's important to emphasize this..

Because newer isn't always necessarily better. I'm of the minority and there are others like me who prefer to stay on the earlier firmwares.
The hopes of getting a full root early on was another reason, where had we blindly rolled up to the latest, it could have locked us out from taking advantage of a possible working root on an earlier BL. One rule of thumb is to never just jump on updates. We call them lock outs...and we kind of saw this with the original samfail root where those who updated could not roll back; but of course now it's possible which is great. Thanks again for making this happen and saving those who jumped early that never thought they would see a form of root.
There of course other reasons I like to stay put on earlier firmware versions, but that's for another conversation. @butchieboy, @KennyG123 and I go way back and they know.... We enjoy our Note 3's on 4.3, Note 4's on KK 4.4, Note 5 on MM etc...
