Will you be adding files for Wind Note 4?

Is there a way to root without tripping Knox?

Not that I know of yet, sorry.

Has anyone tried ART? and does the Canadian version support 64 bit?

No the snapdragon chip set is 32 bit only.

Beautiful work with these stock files and posting all the rooting/recovery info and links in one thread. Looking forward to the ride on the GN4.

Which Rom section Can I use then to flash the Canadian version ? Tmobile, Att, ?

price31 · Aug 16, 2010 70 12 0

you say that
"It is also sim unlocked, so it can be used with any Canadian carrier."

I have a roger version, seems to be locked. So if I root and flash this will unlock the sim carrier?

thank you

Odd my Bell one is unlocked, I popped in my buddy's Rogers sim with no issue.
Also says it's unlocked on the box.... I'll post a picture when I get home.

Nice, at least we know now that Bell version is unlocked! I had to pay around 15$ to get it unlocked!

zxaz · Oct 30, 2014 at 8:17 PM

very odd, my bell was locked.....had to unlock before poping a rogers sim...

Rooting will not Carrier Unlock your device - Flashing a Custom Rom will not Carrier Unlock your device - Either pay Rogers $50 after 3 months - or go to sammobile.com - They offer a Carrier Unlock service.

I had problems with a tmobile rom so i used your steps with the stock NJ3 Wind rom. However the file turned out to be a Bell Rom. My csc even says BMC when i check it. My signal hasn't been as good on this stock rom.

Any chance you know where i can find the actual Wind rom that came with the phone?

Check on sammobile.com - You'll have to register / sign in if you want to download it

Its All Just N910W8

Mine definitely is, and came out the box that way. I've adjusted the OP to omit the sim unlock given that its inconsistent.

Firstly getting them from sammobile wont change a thing; the files provided are the same.

Now to clarify, unlike the US or the rest of the world; all the carriers in Canada use the same rom.
Meaning no matter if you have wind, bell, telus, rogers etc its all the same modem, kernel, recovery, and system.
Its all N910W8, so there cannot be a modem/signal difference.

And for proof here is a list of MD5's checksums for the files I provide and what sammobile provides:

It was the exact same with the Note 3; we only get one ROM.
So I am going to change the OP to reflect this fact and only provide 1 set of files with instructions on how to change your CSC.

Boom done problem solved.

More proof, here are the MD5's for the extracted tar.md5's of wind & bell from my files and sammobile:

So this confirms that any bell, Rogers or tells phone can be unlocked to work on the AWS networks such as wind or chatr? I have done a ton of research and could not find the AWS bands on bells info but have seen both model numbers on bells, winds, etc. As N910W8

Has anyone had luck unlocking even though a company?

I'm going to say yes given that they are all N910W8 and all running the same rom.

But I haven't tested it personally; buddy at work has wind, I will try his sim in my phone next week and report back.
