The best I've found.

I found an OEM looking back cover for the S4 on amazon, but since I don't have enough posts it wont let me post the link lol.

The item posting is

RBC Faux Leather Battery Back Door Cover Replacement For Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 i9505 i337 i545 M919 Black

It looks just like the Note 3 back cover. I don't think it's Samsung OEM, but it looks like it. If it's the same one I've seen other people order then it should fit just like OEM. Although I haven't had a chance to order one yet so I couldn't say.

Short review: Fits my phone perfectly. It doesn't come with Samsung packaging like someone mentioned, but if you told me it is an official cover, I wouldn't suspect a thing. Premium quality. Maybe it is from the Samsung warehouse or something, as the seller stated that he works with the manufacturer's warehouses. The faux leather makes the back of the phone much grippier to hold. That's a plus.

Welcome to xda-developers. You must be new here, because there is no such thing as best kernel. Do not listen to any recommendations that people make, saying it is the best kernel, because guess what? Its not. There is no best kernel. Best kernel for performance? Go look in the Android Development Section and try all the kernels, test it and see which is best for you. There is no BEST, for the last time. So stop asking.

Troubleshooting Steps for failed Chainfire's rooting via Odin:

Do not fled if you can't get Chainfire's tar to flash properly.

- If you are unable to Boot, then go back into Download Mode.

- Flash back any stock SM-N900W8 ROM via Odin

- Then skip Chainfire's rooting Steps, and instead go straight into the TWRP steps

- Once you have TWRP installed, restart the phone

- Boot into TWRP (Vol-Up + Home + Power)

- Once inside TWRP just select the option to reboot, pressing on any of the reboot actions will prompt you with

"Your phone doesn't seem to be rooted, Do you want to install SuperSU?"

answer Yes by swiping

- Reboot to System, then run SuperSU

- When SuperSU is up, it'll ask you if to flash the root binaries, select the TWRP method

- The phone will reboot again into TWRP installing the root, when done, just reboot back into system.

- Done

Nope, i did not have to do that before flashing both Tar files.

Hello, this is my first Samsung phone and am wondering what the repercussions of rooting night be?

I'm no noob to rooting, flashing recoveries and roms but my previous android devices were from Motorola which always had problems after rooting I.e. ram loss.

I'm aware some apps won't work on rooted devices because they're programmed that way I.e. Telus optik TV app. And that's fine.

I've got the bell mobility note 3 SM-N900W8.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] asaqwert:
so i'm trying to figure this out, and i can't for the life of me.... can i flash a custom rom (such as darthstocker, or any others that come out sooner than later) to my Wind phone? i know other phones on wind are generally using the same roms as tmo but i haven't had confirmation for this on the note 3 yet.

can anyone confirm that, for example, the darthstocker rom will work? i don't want to risk it really, as i can't afford to buy another note 3 (nor do i want to, nor do i even know if i could given the low stock at most wind stores in calgary) but if it is known that they are cross-compatible then hey, i'll go for it!

thanks for any help !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] force70:
All good here thus far....I didnt do any backup restores if that matters. Loaded them one by one old school updating as I went if needed...what a PITA lol.

Seems some who did restore backups from other devices are having issues...not to say that you did that by any means though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nickzan:
Yeah I wasn't planning on restoring from the backups.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
no bootloops here

to be more specific no problems with stuff installed from the Play Store

however some apps that I restore from Titanium Backup, the Knox kicks in and complains blah blah blah, then it force closes my App.

so I disabled Knox, then i had to uninstall, then restore the App again from Backup for it to work.

but, before that you need to fix the security for all the restored files...

anyways, these new security issues are a real PITA!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] turilo:
When you got your note 3, did you put in a fresh sd card or one from your other device with files already on it? I'm getting bootloops just from installing apps from playstore but I put in my sd card from my note 2 with files existing. I also formatted the sd card in my note 3 and still get the bootloop. Seriously getting aggravated by this :/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
from my old Galaxy Note 1 / Galaxy S2

I swap the SD card / SIM card between those 2 phones with no problem, using any ROM, restoring everything via Titanium Backup.

I think it's just something new with 4.3 and Knox, and the Restricted kernel

because CM10 on 4.3 did not have these security issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] turilo:
Okay so you're swapping these cards onto the note 3 without any issues?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
nope no issues, i was able to restore from Ti, and using the command line fix to get stuff working.

However deleting the broad-wares i accidentally deleted some system files, and now I'm trying to cook a ROM for us, so I can fix my mistake.

I'm about to flash the Tmo version of a stock ROM, to see if that helps

[Galaxy Note 3 General] odeccacccp:
Great post thank you v. much.

Stupid Q. but what's the point rooting right now and loosing the warranty, if there is no custom ROM that exists on XDA for our version, they are all N9005's?

Or am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] T3rry1:
gotta start somewhere :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] odeccacccp:
Yes, but warranty is void:) and you can;t really do much with root with out custom roms.

In any case the bigger question is where would the N900W8 compateble ORM's be, in which section of XDA?

Clearly N9005's don;t work, how about N900P Sprint and T-Mobile one?

At the moment the ROMs are not yet cross devices compatible.

Give them a few months for the Devs to get the hang of it, then it'll work across devices like all the other Samsung devies using the same chipset.

all the SM-N900series uses the same chipset, so yes the ROMs will be cross device compatible, after the Devs removes the device dependant bits from the ROM

how do you know that this has happened? i tried to use the region unlock thing and i haven't had anything tell me there is a problem... my wind service works fine, but i want to try to use bell or telus, i'm sick of wind's crap honestly. i wanted to pay them for the unlock code for my phone, no go, even though i'd been with them for a couple years now and bought 4 phones off them and never requested unlock codes in the past. now i need to go somewhere there is no wind and want to borrow a friend's sim card... no go, they actually told me to go get it unlocked elsewhere

so what's the deal... what does this app do to a wind phone that's bad? how do i know if it happened to me?
