Hi, I am not really new to rooting droid devices, but have run into quite a bit of trouble trying to do this with my Note 8. I am wanting to put CM on it like I have on my droid phones, but have had nothing but trouble trying to do it. I have seen several different articles here and there about it apparently not being possible to do anything with the AT&T version of the Note 8. Is this accurate, or is there someone who has successfully rooted and applied CM to their device? I can't stand the old 4.1.2 on here, and AT&T seems to be in no rush to update to 4.4. CM would be perfect for my needs, but I just can't seem to get it on there. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

I am so new to Android. Forgive me for asking, what is CM?

Hey there! There are only a FEW ROMs for the I467 and CM as far as I know will not go onto it. There is a DeOdexed stock 4.1.2 rom though floating around and with root it has some potential. I hope this helps. :good:

Hey there! CM = CyanogenMod. it is a highly customizable port for Android which provides a ton of new improved features for your particular device. Google "CyanogenMod" and read up on it! It's a very decent ROM. Cheers! :good:

I am so glad I stuck with my Galaxy Note 8 for AT&T (model SGH-I467)
It was upgraded OTA to Android 4.4.2. Although it is now dead ended in terms of Android os updates, but it turned out to be a totally blessing. (AT&T no longer committed to any further updates for that device)

Android 4.4 and 5.0 are the only good OS for managing SD card for extended storage. I am having a great time achieving and saving excellent media clips onto the sd card without worrying about filling up the internal memory. Google has crippled Android 5.1 and even 6.0 SD memory management and direct read and write ability. I have a tablet that has 16GB internal memory and a SD card slot, but the Android OS is 5.1 and it rendered the SD card totally useless but for pictures and video generated from the native camera app. None of the other third party apps can access the external SD card !!!!
