Hardly any dev's showed up for the S6/S6edge, what makes you think they're going to show up here?
This new breed of high tech communication devices are dev resistant.

He is 100% right. I boycotted the S6/Note 5 because of the Exynos chip. I have already pre ordered my S7 and it should be here in a day or so. (i might return it for the edge but that wont hinder development since they are basically the same device)
I know of at least one other dev who is getting a S7 as well, GarwynnXDA who helped me get CM 11 going on the S5 so a bright future should be in store for this device

Well can get a device as I'm saving for new laptop and as I am in France it's expensive as **** to ship the device here so I'll probably blind dev except if users are kind and get me the device before my American exchange student arrive (she can bring the device with her)

Good to hear about snapdragon, I forgot about that change, hope its user friendly and that they can make up for lost ground after the exynos setback.

Well... It seems like the bootloader is locked now (all of a sudden).
So, there's that.

I thought that this video would give some hope to the AT&T N3 community. Looks like the Verizon N3 is going to get (or got) a program called Safestrap which is allowing them to install custom ROMs and other things on their version of the N3. This should be made applicable to the AT&T version soon. It may not be as flexible as a unlocked bootloader but does give some hope of being able to have the phone the way you like it.

Oh man let's hope for the best. This is all kind of new to me having these issues. Even my One X was a pain in the ass, but not THIS bad with unlocking.
Will safe strap include being able to flash a kernel? That's honestly the #1 reason for an unlocked bootloader for me. I love playing around with cpu and gpu parameters trying to achieve best battery to performance. Plus faux123 has his kernel and coming from it with a nexus 4 I wish I had it on this device.
Safe strap will not allow kernel flashing. Only ROMs. It high-jacks boot up and redirects the device to boot from a secondary partition you create on the internal memory. You will lose space on internal memory to use safestrap. Although the Verizon folks (me included) have been able to overwrite the factory partition to avoid space lose. If you want to flash kernels you need to drop the 700 dollars on development edition of the phone. I can't believe how dead the development thread is for this device I was just looking for some options for a friend of mine who just got his AT&T N3.
I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and both my Notes
Guess I should have stuck with nexus. Oh well ill trade the ability to flash kernels and roms for a removable battery and an sd card and large screen.
I'm pretty sure the DEVS within these forums will eventually find a way to crack the system. It's just a matter of time and patience.

I don't think that's ever going to happen. This is sad but it looks like the Note 3 (At&t Version) will never have an unlocked bootloader. There is no way around it.
I will never buy another At&t phone again in my life. I will never buy a Samsung device again in my life.
I'm done with them both. I hope their happy. This is what they want.

Drew is correct. No root on 4.4.4. Most devs abandoned ship for greener pastures. Either deal with it or sell it and get another rootable device.

Well I guess it does force my hand a bit. I've been debating upgrading to the Note 4 or going to the Nexus 6, was just hoping to get some more millage out of my Note 3. Don't have the $700(ish) for a new phone right now.

Definitely NO root on Note 4 unless you buy the developer version directly from Samsung.
Today's news just keeps getting worse and worse. Found out that as of now, Verizon will only be selling the 32gb version of the Nexus as well.

By you saying earlier that you dont have the $700 to purchase a new one, I take it you are not using an upgrade. If that is the case you can buy the 64GB Nexus from Google or somewhere else and use it on Verizon. They all have the same hardware and all are able to be used on any carrier out of the box.

Actually, I am using an upgrade, the wife's to be honest lol. If I had the cash, I could just go buy the 64gb elsewhere and bring it over.

I thought the note 4 was too big. Was using a Sony z3v for about a year. The edge is the nearly the same dimensions as the z3v. The smaller form factor of the standard s7 is great in the pocket.

Same here. After couple years of carrying around Note 2, then Note 4, I don't think I would ever go back to those gigantic phablet ever again. S7e isn't that much of a downsize from the Note so we bought the S7 without hesitation, it's a lot more pocketable and MUCH easier to operate one handed. Loving the S7 so far.

All kidding aside, I was in the same boat with you only two weeks ago finally accepting OTA updates and giving up on root. So glad over recent developments.
lol note 4 just got root like, a few months ago. they got a bootloader unlock too.

Ok so I'm a noob. I've been using Android for about 2 and a 1/2 years and I'm interested in rooting my phone.
I want to root my s7 edge. I understand that you can't really root the snapdragon 820 version (I have at&t if that matters). The reason I want to root is because I hate TouchWiz and I love stock Android. I want all the latest updates and so on. So basically I want to have an s7 edge with Nexus stock Android. Can you delete Android entirely from the phone and reinstall it in Nexus form. I'm sorry please don't judge and I know that's a stupid question. If there is now a way to rooton the s7 edge snapdragon 820 at&t please let me know. Sorry this is so long.

Surprisingly I haven't rooted this phone. I'm getting my old oneplus one ready for someone else to use and I'm really missing cyanogenmod... I hope we get nougat before end of the year.
