AT&T Note 3 Bootloader Bounty Discussion Thread - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General

This is a thread to discuss the bounty thread for the bootloader found here.

Are there any developers who would like to come out of the woodwork and share their progress?

I'm not thinking many will if they are trying to get the bounty to themselves. If I were a developer I would be hesitant on sharing anything until it's finalized.
I know there are developers working on this. I know a few in person, and a small handful on XDA.

do we still have hope? i'm this close to sell it, lose money and get a normal 9005

I'm not sure that there was much hope to start off with. I wouldn't count on this happening anytime soon personally.

I'm sure it will happen one day. The iPhone 4S took several months to jailbreak, but the point is they did it. They didn't even have a bounty to work with. If you need some custom ROMs now, getting a normal 9005 might be what you need.

I'm not worried about it for now. The stock rom is pimp as ****! It would b nice, but for now I'm more than happy! This phone is amazing.

i just want to root my MJ5

Any developer that spends a countless hours trying to develop a safe method of flashing roms for a phone he/she doesn't even have deserves a bounty donation in my eyes....
Thats a tremendous job,

The Note 3 definitely is the quickest and best running Android device out of the box to date in my opinion,I'm rooted of course, but unleashing ROMs will make the phone just a Beast!

SafeStrap will not make rooting any easier.
However, RLDV is extremely easy if you follow the step-by-step that @designgears provided in his thread. Never used Kingo but it works and it's very easy as well.

Is there a way to downgrade from 4.4.2 into 4.3 in the near future?

Hi guys. Ive been reading a lot about this one. And i find it very imposible to do right now. I saw some thread here regarding to this one that im posting right now. So my main concern is is there a way to downgrade this kitkat into jellybean? Put aside note 3 for now. Does it work on other phones as well? Because i really dont like the new kitkat and i want to go back from 4.3. Yeah yeah i did some research regarding to this because of the new bootloader. I really hope that we can be able to downgrade.

No... Samsung give out updates, they don't expect you to downgrade.... Besides, the upgrades are supposed to add performance and remove security exploits.... Why would they allow you to go back to something that's not so well protected and possibly damage your device that then gets fixed under warranty....
Yes officially. You can't downgrade. But im asking is there a way or in the near future that we can go back to jellybean? Again lets put aside note 3 for now since it is still new. Lets think.... Note 2! For example i updated to 4.4.X as well. Can i go back to 4.2.1?
God almighty. .why would you want to. ..who wants to go backwords. ..If you do...why did you go forwards. .I loved the escort mark 2 but I sure as hell wouldn't swap my focus for one... (the only way this might not apply is with women lol):thumbup:

Mate for the 10000000th time, everyone read your question and is trying to explain that downgrading the software of a smartphone is stupid. Especially true for the Note 3, 4.3 to 4.4.
The only reason you might want to downgrade, is that you want to put CM on your device. In which case ask so. It is unlikely that you will be able to downgrade, more likely CM will get support for the new BL
Its a fair enough question to ask. I would also like a dafe way to downgrade to install things like CM. IMO its a control thing. One that I dont like. But it is what it is.

By the way. May it is possible. Not right atm but in near future. We have to get the correct fast boot access to unlock the bootloader. Then we have to flash a file called flashall. This file is already under construction by myself but it's tricky. After this file flashed successfully we are able to flash an original bootloader from former rom.
So u see its possible. Only have to wait for a dev or anybody else who can give me fast boot access.

Let's just be calm about this I agree we won't be seeing official downgranding but for one I would downgrade to 4.3. Android is all about choices and preferences that is one of the differences from ios we get to choose customize down to the bone...Why something older and propably not better some people have their reasons. Some people prefer that old chevy or challenger from a new mercedes I don't know. I for one miss lights effect from 4.3 the lockscreen effect. I was on stock rom unrooted and it had this effect then rooted upgraded to 4.4.2 poland and it didn't have it got a little disapointed. I agree that 4.4.2 is a better os and also agree that my reason for wanting to downgrade is somewhat stupid but that's the beauty of android from the start you get it exactly how you want it today in the world of android os we are made unable to downgrade tomorrow who knows? The liberty of choice in this os is getting smaller and smaller day by day...
Ok ok

It's a permanent change to the bootloader that cannot be downgraded.
If that's hard to understand then I don't know what to tell you.

There are more reasons to downgrade. After upgrading to KitKat my phone is messed up bad. I got reboots all the time now. I never rooted, I never installed ROMS. All is plain stock. If someone would offer me a working downgrade I would even consider paying this person for it. My phone is unreliable right now.

Consensus seems to be that you can't downgrade the Samsung Note 3 kit kat bootloader, which prevents downgrade to Jelly bean .
On other makes, e.g HTC it is possible to downgrade bootloader and Android, providing you've got S Off

What he did is flash using odin and factory reset twice after got bootloop.
But I am not suggest you to do it, even though i want to do it as I feel kitkat battery life is getting worst.

I believe OP didn't try to ask same question a millionth time. What he tried to ask was, will there be a method to downgrade to JB? If that's the case it's very unlikely. In theory of course software changes can be reversed but sometimes it needs some hacking and I don't think anyone will think it's worth the effort.

Will we keep root on kitkat

With an update to kitkat happening in the near future I started to think that root may not be so easy. Our bootloader being locked down don't help matters. Right now Kingo is giving users problems and the only other option being vroot.
But what if neither of these work with kitkat?
I will not take an update until I confirm root is possible.
If there's any devs out there that can unlock this bad boy please don't give up.
So what's everyone else think?
I think that in the future people who want root will need to buy a developer's edition.

True but the unfortunate thing is Verizon and or Samsung don't make enough available.
Would be nice if they started to manufacture more dev units in the future.
Or Verizon can just unlock the bootloaders.

I'm guessing that they will make more. There will, and may now be, some significant legal difference between the two. A lot of people want rooted phones so when bootloaders are no longer exploitable they will come up with a scheme to exploit those root-wanters.

I heard a while ago that kitkat could break some root apps. I wonder if anyone is experiencing that?
I haven't heard anyone say anything about it so hopefully that's not a factor anymore.

Everything I've read about how Kitkat screws up access to SD card makes me want to have no part of it. When I hear it is coming to vzw I plan to root and try to figure out how to stay stock mje and block updates. The only thing I really want fixed is the compass and since Nobody admits it's a problem I don't expect any update to fix it.

Tmobile guys don't need kingo to root since they have an unlocked bootloader. If it wasn't for t-mobile's poor network compared to verizon I'd switch in a heat beat.

[Q] Just rooted my M17 on 4.3.. Knox 0x0

I have rooted my phone while not tripping KNOX, I am still on M17 4.3 that came with my phone. I am trying to upgrade to KitKat, as I have heard from numerous people in my area that the signal has improved dramatically for LTE and 4G.
1. How do I go about upgrading to KitKat without tripping KNOX or losing root? Is that possible at this juncture?
2. Can I upgrade to a custom Kitkat ROM while also recieving my signal upgrade? Or do I have to upgrade to an official firmware/ROM first before I recieve the better signal?
Thank you very much for the knowledge!!
Upgrading to stock 4.4 won't trip your knox but custom 4.4 will most probably do.
So should I take the Ota update or what? Will I lose root?

If you already have the ota for your carrier/device then go for it. You might loose root as this is official but you can root again after if that is the case.

There is a guide at the link below specifically for tmobile on how to upgrade to 4.4. Maybe you can post your question there as most likely someone in the same situation as you have posted there. As far as tripping knox, as long as you flash official 4.4 firmware it will not trip. Rooting and custom recovery on 4.4 I don't know since I don't have the tmo one.

Someone will make a new thread when anything is discovered. Youll prolly be waiting a long time
Please allow me to rephrase the question....is root for nc4 for us who took the ota update without ever being rooted ever going to be available given the fact that most users already have a rooted device before being on nc4? Is *anyone* even working on it at all? or should we just give up all hope and not even bother given the fact that it is only a handful of us w/o root on nc4 that for whatever reason we took the plunge knowing the consequences of possibly not having root for a while if ever at all?

it may be never is the rumor but you never know.
for example the bounty for root for the S5 is currently at around $15,000 and no takers so that speaks to the depth of the situation.

Thanks for this thread! I'm also hoping for a root for NC4 some day... I just ordered a Note 3 (should come in the mail today), but I think it'll have NC4 on it. I didn't research enough, first, to be sure I was getting a phone that could be rooted.
bounty has reached almost $18,000 just for root so you can be assured its getting worked on but also how hard it must be for such a bounty to exist.
here is the bounty thread if you want to add to the money pile

That appears to be a bounty for the S5 root... Is there an official bounty for the Note 3 NC4 root?
Are are the two very closely related? (as in, if there was a root method for the S5, then could we expect a root method for the Note 3 to quickly follow? If so, then maybe a bounty for the Note 3 wouldn't be necessary)
Is there any way to switch to NC2? Or do we have to stay on NC4?

99% if it works on S5 then that discover exploit would work on N3

If you're on NC4 then for now you have nowhere else to go - you are locked in tight.

At that price, you'd think some tech or engineer from Samsung would sneak something out...lol

And hopefully we would benefit from that leak onto the sgn3.....

Posted from my beast of a VZW Note 3!!

New here, need a little help with rooting...

Hi, so, I'm new here and I'm trying to root my verizon note 3 and i see a few threads saying ways but I'm not sure what to trust... I also apologize about this not being under the development thread but it wouldnt let me put it there since I dont have enough reputation points and whatnot. If you need my email, phone specs, etc, respond and I'll provide.
Much appreciated.

Thanks for such a fast response.
Baseband version: N900VVRUEOF1
Android version: 5.0 (Lollipop)
What exactly is a baseband version? I just copied that string from my phone settings, dont really know what it means
When an update gets pushed to our phones from Verizon or who ever our carrier is that changes..idk all the details I'm not an expert but they add new things and patches ect. To the phone and that will let you know what version you have. Now give me a little bit and I'll copy and paste where you should go to root you're phone, make sure the read everything and follow everything that say in the 1st post and you should be good..I've been rooting for about 6 years now since my DROID eris and just followed everything they said and never had a problem. I'm become more balley I guess now haven done it and know how to fix a bricked phone and have messed up but always manage to get it fix

This is the one you should do, it's the easiest one that's been released since we've just gained root again after like a year or longer of not being able too

Thank you!! Coincidentally my first phone was an Eris as well... Got it used for free from a friend and I only stopped using when the trackball crapped out
you can root Android version 5.0 Baseband version OF1 or OB6 with this method :

this method is the best way to root your phone from the other two.

Sadly, this link no longer works. What is the deal-e-o with these links?
Is there a conspiracy in place to prevent upgrades from 5.0 PL1?
Do you have a more resent suggestion that might get me to 7,8 or 10?
Thanks so much
I’m looking for this as well. Please suggest the procedure for baseband version N900VVRSEPL1 on Android 5.0
