[Q] Verizon Note 3 Bootloader Unlock.... - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used to have Sprint and I should have stayed because even though development was slow for that particular phone at least there was development. How are we doing with unlocking the bootloader for the Note 3 or will we be doomed to ROMS that are stripped down versions of TouchWiz for the rest of our Note 3 lives?

Yes

I'm doing just fine without an unlocked bootloader. Would be nice to have it unlocked. There's plenty of development going on. A lot of people who bought a Dev edition note 3 ending up selling it including myself.

Blame LG keyboard on the G Pro lol. A lot of people use there phones now days when away from computer to post here lol
Not sure why everyone wants the bootloader unlocked, I mean right now there is no reason to do so at all. And on top of that my last 3 phones this year have had locked bootloaders, but that didn't stop me from using international Roms, or Roms in general cause of Loki support or whatever its called lol

I'm curious as well about Loki. I'm not sure if it relies on the snapdragon 600 chipset or if its a baseband thing. May be something to look into. I'm not familiar enough with it.
Myself- I would be more than happy if loki works on our devices. Please, LG, let it work!
edit:
~just did a quick search... Loki relies on the Qualcomm APQ8064T.. or snapdragon 600 per Dan himself. dang.
Edit 2:
The 'other' LG devices it works on dont all have the 600.. so again, its possible. Hrm...
Possible unless Qualcomm fixed the exploit on the 800s

[Im]patiently awaiting for recovery, ROMs, root, and debloat

Damn! I just can't use stock phones anymore!! The XDA Community moves so fast I thought that by now there would already be a ROM dump (it's been less than a day, I know). I suppose we need a recovery first. The hardware looks good. I know it has a slightly larger battery than the II, but if 3's actual battery life is anywhere near the II on custom ROMs, I'd be a very happy camper. Let the devs begin! :good:
I know me to. It bootloader let's locked again, maybe thinking about either getting a unlocked TMobile version or wait for Canadian unlocked.

There's a good chance the bootloader will be locked, in which case it might be a long time before you see any of those things you want

Dang not the warm and fuzzy I was hoping for. So my ATT is due to be delivered this am. Or I can spend $400.00 more and go buy a T-Mobile. Crap I was hoping for a Root already.
I am hoping for something like Loki for this phone. It is great hardware but has too much crapware installed. Root would be good just to be able to remove some of it.

The fact that carriers lock the bootloader is both futile and absurd. If they consider the big picture, keeping it unlocked would actually help sales. I realize that they have a business objective to protect and want to maintain their marketing strategy, but the the bootloader almost always gets broken in the end. If they consider that single fact--then they should come to this conclusion: Why put people through hoops to get the access if they will eventually get it anyway? It just pisses people off.
Locking the bootloader does nothing for those who have no interest in root, etc. It does bring bad will for those who want root and will eventually get it.
It's just silly. Give people what they want!!

It'd be a waste. There are people far more talented at bootloader hacking than I am, better throw your money at them instead.

I'll give you that. I suppose I would still rather get a T-Mo N3 to run on ATT... iPhone is so... 2 dimensional.
Does anyone remember how long it took the Note II's bootloader to get cracked?

The note 2 never had a locked bootloader.
Usually before it hits stores.

Is it true that, with the many phones that have arrived with a locked bootloader, they have almost always been cracked at some point?

There is often an exploit at some point, but I don't recall any devices with locked bootloaders being truly cracked.

Buy developer edition from Samsung.com. They have been taking retail versions and reflashing them to developer edition phones, slapping new stickers on the box and mailing them out.

I got mine from Samsung as well few days ago. There is a new label on the box saying SMN910VMKE but I still the original label underneath with SMN910VZKE model on it. There is no "Developer edition" anywhere - not on the box or phone itself.

I'm gonna say the radio/signal is best fix for me, ive had note 2, which was ok for signal, note 3 was complete garbage, and now note 4 seems to be fixed! So far so good. Let's just hope big red don't screw up stuff in about 6months from now when we finally get 5.0

Seen it on twitter people are recieving at&t lolipop for note 4 come on t mobile you have to be joking.. At&t gets out before you, you kno you suck!!!!! But i know sprints variant is not the same as ours the at&t version might be another story, this might be good for us

Sammobile doesn't have any firmwares for the At&t note 4. Probably because they don't have root yet.

You don't need root to flash official factory images.
T-mobile note 4 has an unlocked bootloader. That's greater than android Z on a locked bootloader device.

So is Bell and most other carriers in Canada are scheduled to release within days
I have to ask... What is it that you're expecting to gain from Lollipop? Is there something you're not able to do on KK? Are there apps that you can't use? Sure, I'm waiting for Lollipop too... But I'm waiting patiently because I know ours is going to take a little longer due to WiFi-Calling. It's not as simple as taking what Samsung gives to the carriers and they just slap their software on it. So, seriously... why everyone is crying over Lollipop taking so long?
Plus we cant use xposed still right? So i guess ill be staying on kk

I'm pretty sure Xposed still doesn't work on Samsung ROMs.
Consider the tmo version has root and the vzw version hasn't have root until today. It's more lucky to be on this side than there.

You should switch to Verizon to enjoy that lollipop update. yeah, sayb ye to your unlocked bootloader. I don't understand why you complaint.
I dont get it
There is almost nothing in Lolipop thats different. I'll take unlocked bootloaders, root and wifi calling any day.

Xposed doesn't work with Lollipop TouchWiz ROMs. It only works with AOSP/CM based 5.0+ ROMs.

I'm sure they do. We'll just have to sit back, relax, and wait for it to be released. Until then I'm sticking with good ol' tried and true KitKat.

not too concerned about verizon considering it's still locked in terms of bootloader.
I ain't too worried about LP either.... KK is just fine.
I do wish we had more kernel options though (real kernel options)

I really like trusted devices in lollipop. Yeah you can probably concoct a tasker recipe to do the same thing but it's not as convenient. That being said I can wait on lollipop, however you shouldn't dismiss it as an unimportant update. Tmobile won't be far behind.
The fact that Verizon...............VERIZON got the lollipop update before T-Mobile is very ****ed up on T-Mobile behalf.
The Note 4 has gotten no love since release. Pretty sad for a next gen device.
Lmfao. Might I ask what do you plan on getting when you get lollipop. What is so special about it that a themer can't do.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
