AT&T Note 3 Bootloader Bounty Discussion Thread

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.

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....

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.

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.

They were having trouble rooting the kitkat build on tmo. My friend just picked up a tmo note 3 and the only way for him to root was to use chainfires CF autoroot but it trips knox. Which he didn't care.

Verizon P905V Note Pro12.2 LTE Root & Recovery Bounty

I'm willing to donate for the purposes of obtaining root for the Verizon Note Pro12.2 LTE model P905V. When I try to ask normally it's on with other versions and the thread gets confused for my purposes.
Has anyone achieved root on p905v?
If not, what files can I provide from my unrooted P905V? How can I extract them?
Has anyone managed to make a custom Recovery or port one for the p905v?
Thanks in adavance

Root sm-p905V please
I'm completely new to this and unsure about how donation works. Just got my first android device as this sm-p905V.
Likely one of the best pieces of technology I ever purchased. Was very excited about getting perfect-dark for n64 with 2 controllers, but turns out i need root access to get the ps3 cotrollers to bluetooth to the thing.
I just heard about rooting for the first time yesterday while trying to get these controllers working. Sounds like it is alot more exciting than just playing some old school nintendo.=D
I look forward to getting root access and really exploring the usefulness of this device.
They've just posted the first 4.4.2 Rooted Rom for the Verizon Note 3, so I wonder if that will help our devices, which has pretty much the same chipset in it?
We're up to about $200 for the bounty (as far as I have counted). Let's do this!!! (pretty) Please!!!

Help
Someone get discovered now came out a root for SM-P905V Verizon!?
Has anyone been able to get the system.img or recovery.img for the P905V? I looked around all day yesterday and couldn't extract from my tablet because of lack of su and sammobile.com doesn't have the system.img either. I don't think chainfire will be able to root our tablets until we get a copy of the system.img and extract the recovery for him.

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.

I would not get your hopes up anytime soon, this is why I stayed on NC2 and disabled OTA's after reading the psa by hashcode.
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.

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?

[Q] Question about S4 Development...

Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I'm going to be upgrading phones soon, and I'm wondering if there are people still working on unlocking the bootloader on phones with the MF3 update or later? I understand that its possible it might never be unlocked, but I would feel better getting an s4 if I new there were people out there still trying to crack it...
I would prefer to be able to install cyanogenmod in the future, so I'm wondering if I should even go with the galaxy s4.
What do you guys think?
Also, if this is the wrong place for this question, let me know. Thanks!
My opinion is it will not be unlocked. This is an old device now and any devs who were working on it have moved on.

Yea, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Still, I'm tempted to go for the S4. I know its an older device, but being that it has a removable battery, and a sd card slot makes it one of my first choices. Can you suggest another phone that I should be looking at based on that?
Thanks!
Why not buy a used rooted unlocked S4 with an MDB or MDL bootloader? You can ask for a screenshot of the "About Phone" settings.
