Hello, I have been updating my phone to KitKat and following tutorials for bypassing the NAE Bootloader with KNOX. I have MK2 so I have KNOX already. Is there any reason why NAE bootloader would be any different? I have not run into any tafus with the bootloader I have now. But all the work around stuff is probably pointless right? Since it all seems to keep MF9.
I have TEP on my Sprint account so warranty has never been an issue I had broken the camera on mine. So I traded it out with a custom rom and custom recovery and everything and they didn't seem to pay any mind.

I never understood why some people stayed away from the new bootloaders other than avoiding the secured bootloader. There's more...A lot more. Recently I tried to use Heimdall to print the PIT of a N900T on Kit Kat. No go. A SIMPLE PROCESS that's HARMLESS got locked down. Now that we're unable to access that, Heimdall isn't even usable. Only Odin...and I can't use Odin to do what development I need to do on the N900T.
Yes I know this is the L720 thread but how long before we get this bootloader too? THIS is why I recommend avoiding newer bootloaders whenever possible. Samsung is starting to foolishly lock down everything like...(as noobtoob put it) that one company whose phone starts with an I.

Yeah I was surprised when I I got access to a Sprint S4 that was was Kit Kat-ed up and I could do anything to it with CDMA workshop flashing to pageplus was a breeze.
So even though MK2 and NAE both have KNOX you would still recommend sticking with MK2? Because I screw up my phones quite a bit and have needed to have the PIT file. So I can see why this would not be beneficiary.
I also think that carriers have a lot of say in what goes on with their phones. Sprint was pretty cool in the beginning but now it looks like the ATT variant.
But I would still never own a

AFAIK, KNOX isn't the issue, it's what they're doing to these bootloaders to secure them. The AT&T variants are much worse. The N900A hasn't had root since kitkat dropped for it. AND even IF they got root...back to safestrap? F that... I wish I was more skilled in bootloader hacking.

I personally use HTC one and am rooted with a custom rom. I had purchased a verizon Galaxy Note 3 for my sister as a Christmas gift and she loves the thing but i guess after loading up junk to it and the bloat already on the phone its gotten slow and Samsung patched out the ability to tether. So she has commissioned me to root her phone for her and find a Debloated rom that's as close to stock as possible. Correct me if i'm wrong but based on my reading Samsung devices have a extra hurdle to jump called KNOX and it will cause you to void your warranty and its unrecoverable from that voided state ? Is what i'm asking possible to do without doing this to the phone if this even happens ? I know the new TowelRoot method is the in thing to rooting Samsung devices but that's all i know about it. Her Note3 is on the second OTA update does this matter ? should i update to the latest OTA ? then root ? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated especially cause you'd help me to get my sister to stop harassing me to do this for her lol

Check to see if the phone is on NC4, most likely you are at this point. If so read this thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
Scroll down to post 2 and follow instructions that read coming from NC4 OTA.
If you've never used Odin see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576104
Once up and running most roms are good. Alliance is great but the settings are very involved and may a bit much for her. I have the last Baja rom before they became Alliance if you're interested. The s5 port is a work of art as well but more than she's looking for probably. I can't really say for what rom you should pick as that's user choice. Hope this helps.

Thanks for checking and sharing that pic. You're on MJE. Look for the kingo root app online. There's no link on xda. The app is pretty straight forward from what I remember. If she just wants bloatware gone she can download Titanium Backup once rooted and get rid of some bloat.

I won an HTC One M9 from sprint. My previous phone was a non-triband L720 Samsung S4.
I'm selling the phone to a friend who will be getting Sprint, but can't yet do it because the closest place around is like 60 miles away!
So in the mean time, he got a straight talk card (CDMA&GSM)
I have found two relevant URLs pertaining to unlocking the phone.
Domestic unlock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610
And international - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587
Thing is,
A. I'm in good standing with Sprint so I can get it unlocked.
B. Dear god look at those instructions! I can unlock it manually, but dang man! That's scary if I go into a menu and screw things up, or worse, it doesn't unlock and I don't even know which step I messed up on. I've been flashing for years, I'm not a newbie.
I need help with:
A. helping me know which stock from to flash. I came from lollipop.
B. while keeping my recovery if possible. He wants my CM12.1, so I will back it up and then restore it.
C. Do I need to flash any modems/basebands? I'm confused. I have
L720PUGOD2 currently.
So
1. Backup cm12.1
2. flash lollipop stock
3.call Sprint, get UICC unlock
they will domestic unlock it right?
4. Then I can get back to the cm12.1 on my own.
Is that correct? From what I read, CDMA straight talk
So hopefully it's that easy. My buddy want the phone working asap so I would really appreciate an opinion from a pro. Thanks!

Yes, OD2 is the stock Lollipop, actually if you look in the General section there is a domestic unlocked OD2 modem that you can simply flash in Odin.

K, so I was using a guide that required me to download a self extracting zip that would downgrade me to M919. It just. wouldn't. work. I went through hell to make it work.
downloaded Kies, drivers.... I ended using a different guide that had me downgrade to NG2. with a few lines of ADB, I was unlocked! two days, 20 files later....
Anyways, flashed the Google edition ROM, pimped it out, and everyone is happy. I learned a lot in the process.

You can't, just edit the title to say [Solved] at the beginning or end so if someone else has the same problem they can find the solution.
Here's the official update package to get some of that delicious MM 6.0 taste
If you don't know how to flash this then just wait for the OTA update in the next few days or next week.

I wouldn't recommend flashing the full TAR. If you'd like a guarantee to get back, I'll be making separate flashables.
for example i'll just rip apart the tar and make an odin flashable of everything except the bootloader.

You should still be able to revert to 5.1.1 as the bootloader fuse is still 4 ...just like all the other sprint MM roms i posted you can downgrade without issues

Like many rooted users that are contemplating returning the S7 due to locked bootloader, they, like you, retain a flashable rooted device.
I think Samsung just ruined a good thing for this community. I had hoped for a rooted Note 6 one day soon, but losing all hope. Samsung says the carriers wanted locked bootloaders. Sprint and T-Mobile deny that claim. They should get a room and work that out!

What Samsung has done in the past with kernels and recovery is child's play compared to the locked bootloader. It would take a vulnerability exploit or a signed key unlocked bootloader to root that unless Samsung reverses its position. They just don't own mistakes that way. Even if it's a path to destruction, Samsung will march on like a soldier.
I personally think they've come to a place where they can willingly accept the loss of a few that can't do without root. Sad; Sprint and T-Mobile claim Samsung did this. Samsung claims all carriers in US wanted locked bootloaders.

Just for what it's worth, my moto DX2 was rootable via an exploit of charging mode however to this day the bootloader remains locked down. A locked bootloader is no joke.
Also flashed the PC1 baseband via odin have to say it looks like my connectivity had improved markedly.

I could careless about the bootloader if they get root though. Which they have done before. Root but locked bootloader...I don't really modify much other then remove some stupid bloat and add in xposed for Amplify+Greenify. I can live without those things. I'd just like to be able to ditch the bloatware.

Edit: well i decided to use the Odin tar method, and its just an update not a full system I lost root but i was able to get it back and reinstall TWRP and the latest su I use cf-autoroot latest for root, i didnt lose anything but backup just incase.
Hmmm seems like the next monthly update is overdue
i have strange issue, i'm not sure it's from last update, when i back to pe2 stock with odin and then install twrp, after i installed many custom roms i had an issue never happen before, with every custom rom when someone call me mu N4 don't ring and answer automaticly, and those roms works before without this problem, any idea???

yea well I went to sprint with my phone to see what the guy would say he saw knox tripped didnt doing anything to fix it said Samsung will not fix whats wrong with the phone even if I had insurance on the line (which I added when my phone acted up to see if they would fix it... there is a way to add it if you had not previously had it...)
Anyways the guy was cool about it told me to go find a clean phone with a cracked screen and he'd swap the board out for me. He also told me that insurance was giving out Note 5's for the broken 4's for just the deductible. So the cost of a broken 4 was not working out I just got a new note 5 instead .... Huge pain in the a$$.
Note 5 sucks cause it does not have expandable memory or removable battery..
I want to root my 5 but I dont want to trip knox the guy at sprint mentioned to me custom recovery images do not trip the knox if I do it in the smart switch app. have yet to look for rooted recovery roms tho.
unlocked my sprint galaxy note 8 for any network domestic and international . As title states. Does not void warranty. No rooting no custom recovery. unlock. phone does not have to be paid off. Im using my sprint galaxy note 8 on sprint , and tmobile . So there legit options for us sprint note 8 users if you search. nice to be unlocked with no penalties from our carrier in my oppinion

Hi!
How did you do it? My was unlocked but it updated to July's security patch and it locked. How can I unlock it again? I am in Mexico and really need to update it.
Curious here too.

Search ebay for the unlock that says does not void warranty. Permanent unlock. Just serch sprint galaxy note 8 carrier unlock. And you will find the one. And i updated to july security patch and am still unlocked. It is permanent.
Will do.

Still working flawless. On android 9.0 still unocked. All i do is pop in which sim card i want to use.dont have to change anything. It restarts and even puts the boot animation and carrier apps of which sim card i have in. On to rhe phone. And automattically sets the correct apn
Yup.
Check out my speeds. I get like 45 50 mbps down on sprint and 120-150 on tmobile crazy
alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.

alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.
