You're with AT&T, can't root or modify anything. Why bother on xda?

Because XDA isn't only about hacking your phone?
I've been using XDA for years, and while I hack some of phones, I don't root all of them (in fact my Z5 was rooted, it's not now) and I'll be buying the AT&T version since I'm not sure I want to mess with system and mess up Samsung pay.

Viper4android sucks IMO.
I only use TB when I forget to backup info before wiping/flashing, so not super important.
I don't use ad blockers, if a site/app uses ads with disregard to usability I stop using them, otherwise I pay if I can or live with ads, developers and content providers need to eat to.

I may be boring but at least I've helped the community in my S6 days, also in my days with the relay. Also I understand what I'm doing without guides, able to fix things when I mess up, and don't need to go around telling others their use case for their phones is stupid and beneath mine.
Good luck in life kid, I'm sure you'll figure things out someday

...nevermind

How is preaching going from your parents house? If a guy wants to know about something, why immediately judge and attack him. Are you insecure? Are you young and dumb? Old and dumb? Just dumb? Just from Canada? I'm sorry but from what I know xda is a site with a reputation for not having to feel excluded for asking a question. A site where you can get answers without the fear of assholes like yourself. Not everyone is technical and they, the majority, are the reason why we all have great product engineering. That majority keeps you able to hack, augment and change the latest tech all while many millions more don't. Do not judge people on here as you are just showing the world how small you are in mind.

Sorry. I was only joking around.

It's ok. Humility is a sign of maturity. This place is for all of us. BTW OP, I used to be att. They do that to delay shipping. I assure you sim cards aren't on back order. It's because they can use that to gold the shipment in their oms.

Locked out Bootloader

This may be my last device from AT&T!

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!
Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?
I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Don't see why you would think it was necessary to open a thread to say the obvious. If you don't want at&t sell it. Buy an international. C-ya bye

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.
AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.

Verizon is not going to support unlocking the bootloader on a non developer device. I'm not sure the point of creating a petition.

Honestly, I don't see the point. Verizon doesn't want an unlockable bootloader on their devices. There is nothing that can make that happen. They don't want to have to deal with the support issues. If you want a phone with a unlockable bootloader, don't buy a Verizon phone. It is not that complicated. A petition has no bearing on Verizon's decision. There isn't enough customers who really want to unlock their phone's bootloader to install a custom rom.
So good luck to all 17 of you!

I find it amazing you can reply to this thread twice, with no intentions of helping out your fellow xda'er. Why did you even bother replying? It does not take much time to sign the petition. Less then it took you to reply twice, that's for sure.
There's really nothing amazing about two posts. The time wasted here can be matched evenly with, say, signing this junk.
Here's to being blissful time spenders!

I throw everything under the sun at it

I throw everything under the sun at it. I been working on getting the Verizon Note Edge rooted. I tryed every root tool out there. Even every CF autoroot. Verizon has this phone locked to the tee. Hope someone comes up with something soon. I even tryed ADB codes. Its a no go. So if you planing to buying the note edge with verizon and want root. You might be better off with sprint or t-mobile. Towelroot will not work with this phone. I even ripped that app apart to hack into it. To see what geohot did. That was no good also. Intil we get some really good dev's on this. This edge on verizon will never be rooted. Hopes this helps who ever plans on buying one..
i want and edge... can i use any other carrier with verizon and root it.. or can i buy a non carrier specific edge to work with verizon?

Do we at least know where it's locked? I've never taken a stab at what it takes to root from the ground up, but perhaps some insight on where to start?

The developer edition is probably the way to go for Verizon.
This is so annoying... I wish Verizon had a developer tool that'd allow us to unlock bootloader if we wish to. Does anyone know when the developer edition will be out?

I been on the phone all week between Verizon and Samsung. Trying to get info on the developer edition and trying to throw FCC REGULATIONS laws at them. One rep hung up on me. Saying that Verizon don't care about the law. I am thinking about switching careers. Then taking Verizon to court for forcing contracts on people. That don't meet standards of the FCC. I spent 3 hours reading every regulations of the FCC. And how the block C works that Verizon bought back in 2007.

Yeah. Because that would open the flood gates. For all samsung devices on Verizon. There's some more loop holes. I still studying on. As I can get any back up firmware for this device.

My friend has a T-Mobile Priv

I may be able to get my hands on it for a bit, I'm pretty technically capable, is there anything I can do that would help us know more about this phone, Advance root, grab apks, etc? It's a loaner device so if it could brick it, I can't do it.

Yikes! December is quite a while away. I hope that info is outdated... I was hoping John Legere would announce it during Uncarrier X. If it doesn't come out this month, I'll probably just buy it from BB with my bonus since it still gets VoLTE and Wifi calling. Band 12 isn't out where I'm at yet, but the Priv does support it, so the only thing I miss out on is the Jump insurance.

Didn't they remove the word "exclusive" due to legal reasons?
Checked: It now says "first in the US on ATT", so it is no longer an exclusive (timed exclusive maybe)

I didn't hear that but that makes more sense than exclusive since you can buy it from B&B's website. But still the timed exclusive has to be worth it and I couldn't see AT&T paying for anything less than a month.

First rule of purchasing a phone: buy it for the features it has, not the ones it might someday get. Otherwise you will be disappointed.
You knew the bootloader was locked down tight when you bought the phone. There is no chance in hell it is going to get unlocked. Deal with it. If an unlocked bootloader is that important to you you should have bought a Nexus.
