[Q] Few doubts about N9005

Search This thread
Hello Guys,

I need clarification on few doubts. I tried searching but was not able to find the correct answers. It would be great If someone could answer it.

1) I use a note3 n9005 in India. It was region unlocked when I bought it. I am planning on rooting it and installing a custom rom. Will the region lock kick in after I root or install the custom rom?

2) If I root the device without tripping the knox, will I get any samsung official OTA updates?

Thank you in advance.:good:

1. No
2. Yes - as long as your system status is official and knox flag is 0

    1. If it does, Chainfire has an app for that. RegionLock Away.

    2. Not to my knowledge. And you shouldn't want to, either. Best use Odin.
