Hello all! I hope I'm in the right section, if not, my apologies! I'm wondering if there is a stock sprint ROM for the note 4, that is deodexed, without Knox, and with free hotspot. I do know that I can search the forums all day long to try to find out if there is, but as a truck driver my time is limited to the use of my phone and I do not want to spend half the day trying to drive and search for this when I can simply post this thread in hopes of finding the answers that I need. Again, my apologies if this is in the wrong section and also if this has been asked numerous times but again I'm just looking for some help. Thanks again!

I have never rooted a device before, and have searched and spent many hours reading before deciding to post. I apologize in advance if you feel these questions have been answered. I have watched the new member video and read all the rules for posting. Hopefully, I have not broken any.
To the point:
1)If I root my gs3 ( Verizon carrier) will that allow me to run a similar ROM like the nexus 7?
2) The goal I am trying to accomplish is to have my gs3 run, operate and look like my nexus 7 running 4.2:laugh:
Is this even possible?
Fyi I am a plumber by trade, I like tinkering with things, but have never ventured into cyber/code land before. But after my nexus 7 omg these things are amazing.
Thank you for reading and perhaps responding to my questions

If your phone is a dual core version from the US then you're in the wrong forum mate..You need to go there to get all the help you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708..
But if you have a i9300 or i9305 then you can root your phone using odin and chainfire's CF root then just download any custom rom and enter recovery by pressing Home + Volume up + Power..
When you're done playing you can download a stock rom made for your phone use triangle away to get rid of the counter and go back to the way it came from the factory.. If you've done your research you will know where all the items i just listed is..
But remember if you've a dual core version you need to go to the other thread. You will brick your phone if you use anything from here..
Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

This has got to be the easiest method of rooting. It's what I've used on a few different phones and has never failed me!
Custom roms vary in stability. If they are based on source code they are going to be more stable than others. They will say "built from official source". Other roms can be just as stable depending on the developer and how much effort was put into the rom. You have to read the threads on the roms to compare issues if any, then pick the one you want to try.
The best advice I can give you is before you install or flash anything you verify it's for your device, and read the instructions at LEAST twice!
Welcome to xda ... I suggest you first read the xda rules. This is the general forum. Not for questions. There is a Q &A forum to ask questions in ... After searching.
That said ... Super everything thread is for you.

That link works basically for all i717's but the OP has a Canadian Note and it requires another step.

Wow, Thanks to everybody who got involved. I didn't know that I had this many replies, I just got a notification for the first reply. Thanks a lot.

Admin, my intention isn't to hijack this thread. But I thought I'd ask prior to starting a new thread since I having the same concern, and before I get flamed. Please let me know which approach would be suitable to ask more questions while staying on topic.
I've been researching and reading tons of information everywhere. However I reached the conclusion that the more I read the more confusing it became. Whenever I thought I was ready to take the plunge, It's so overwhelming even figuring out what's current or what's outdated methods and files needed - I simply can't catch up without direct assistance.
OP: Thanks so much for starting this thread. For me, being a long time Android OS lover, yet entirely newbie when it comes to rooting jargons - I couldn't have said it any better - you took the words right out of my mouth!!!... The only tiny difference is that I have the SGH -i717R (Rogers).

Hi Lousk,
I know its really hard for a newbie to even think of where to start when it comes to rooting, because there are tons of information on rooting all over the internet and moreover confusion too. I learned it the hard way and I am glad to say now that I came out with flying colors. As with each official update, my device was getting totally sluggish, non responsive and out of all very little battery life. I couldn't stand this at all, one evening I sat on the internet, took the whole night before starting to do on anything with my device.
I didn't install any custom roms, but I rooted it which in turn helped me turn off a lot of services running in the background and also uninstall all the Samsung bloats, mainly the touchwiz. That thing is really resource hungry. Now my device is working at lightning speed and I have a feeling that it wont be obsolete in another 10 years.
I have all the files and also the instructions on rooting on my drive, unfortunately XDA is not allowing me to paste the link over here unless I have made 10 posts. They say it is just to prevent spams. If you are willing to give me your email id I can sent the link to you.
Go ahead and root your device to get the full potential of your unit.
Good luck,
Sumesh

Honestly, if you're lost navigating a website, take it very slow customizing your phone. Its a lot harder than clicking links with a mouse, and a mistake will be VERY costly.
Don't rush in. Just be a lurker and a reader for a while, at least until you can find your way around and know some basic stuff. Good luck.
I have always found The Unlockr to have very simple and precise instructions. I am also a very visual person so I use YouTube a lot.
Anyway, take your time, root and enjoy and welcome to the asylum!

Im not dumb. I know about rooting a phone installing ROM. overclocking etc.. even if Im not the one who does it.. my stepdad doess, all he told me to do was find a good ROM I like... Its just hard finding my way around here because ill find certain threads; however,they only have few replies, or the thread is discontinued or something and I got a little lost.

WOW, "most thread only have a few replies?" ................REALLY?
I think you are looking n the wrong section. as suggested, "Super Everything Thread". you could also look in the Development section. there are threads where I have 100+ posts myself.
I am sure you are not dumb, but you are coming across a little on the lazy side. sounds like you want everyone else to do the work here. you originally posted 3 days ago and haven't found anything yet
common rules here...........

Im confuse. I know you cant root a sch-i605 that has an 4.3 OTA vruand3 but is there anyway I can unlock the bootloader ? The reason im doing this is because Im using a tmobile prepaid sim card and it works ( phone, text) except that the data Im getting is stuck on EDGE . And maybe the reason is because the bootloader is lock. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have read the forums and I just want to start a new thread that will clarify my question. Thanks.
Please do a little bit more homework.

To answer your question: Safestrap. At this moment this is the only alternative; and even then its not a robust solution.
But Amador please do a little bit more searching in the forums (or at least google) because your question has been a hot topic amongst the SCH-i605 community since the OTA 4.3 update and your answer could have been easily found. I am not going to give you a link to the Safestrap post because I want you to take initiative and I want to prevent you from being lazy like the hundreds of other people who have done exactly what you did, because instead of looking for an answer, "your kind" come here off of a google search and just keep on asking the same question over and over, pile up the forums with garbage posts, and its time consuming for anyone on the forums to answer "your kind".
A lesson to everyone else:
We welcome new talent and bright minds to contribute to the forums, and if you sincerely need help after you have dedicated hours of QUALITY research, please ask. But don't expect to be spoon fed here. If you're asking easy questions that have an existing answer in a plethora of locations out there in the big world of the internet, you will be reminded of the culture in XDA. If you ever wonder why big companies outsource telephone operators in India, this is why. To talk to ignorant people, who all require the same answer.

Yes to bootstrap I tried several times to flash bootloader tried bootstrap and all done jeti x20 rom running I like the option to be able to chose the system to why flash anyother way this is simple ans safe.
I'm new to the forum and when I bought the "Triangle away app" my counter read 2. $2.50 later, (even though my app appeared to work, when I rebooted my rooted Verizon GS3 SCH I535 4.4.2,) the number remained unchanged. The app asked that I post any issues to this forum, so here it is. I did a quick search of the general forum and found no definitive assistance already extant and I don't have hours to spend sifting through the whole thing.. So, if someone feels like they can, or would like to point me in the right direction.....thank you in advance. If not, I hope the devs enjoy their beer.
issue resolved
My issue with Triangle away is resolved. Strictly user error, successfully completed reset as advertised. My apologies to the devs for being snarky.

This is not the Verizon s3 area. Using anything from here will ruin your day.
Glad you got it sorted though.
