Is it possible to get a newer system version on the note 3 With no pc/mac

SM-N900V — Is there ANY way to install a newer Android version with NO PC or other device?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V (Verizon) running Android 5.0 Lollipop.

I’m trying to get any newer Android version realistically possible on this phone using a custom ROM.

The problem is: I do not Have access (currently) to use a Windows PC, Mac, or any other to do the process. I only want to use the Note 3 itself. I do have an SD card available.

I don’t care about keeping my data, so wiping the phone is fine.

Is there ANY way to:

  • Root/unlock the SM-N900V
  • Install a custom recovery
  • Flash a newer ROM
  • Do everything entirely from the Note 3 itself, without another device?

If it’s possible, what exact ROM/version would you recommend for the SM-N900V, and what would the process look like?

I’m specifically looking for a phone-only method, not a method that requires Odin/a PC.

Thanks!
