In general, for any phone, your best bet is to search XDA Forums and see who
has done a third party OS for your specific model number (and I mean number,
ie not just the marketing name Samsung Galaxy Note N, but the number
SM-GT1234).

My suggestion to the OP is to make clear note of the baseband version.

For those lurking, Theo is correct but it goes even further than the Model
Number because in my case, the baseband *version* is also critical.

As far as XDA Developers forums are aware, only some baseband versions of
my model number are rootable (apparently because Samsung removed the OEM
unlock option in the US models but only in the later baseband versions).
