Hi @designgears,
I've modified your script a little and given it a third option, to also include a couple of extra files that are needed in the newer firmwares.
Do you object to me making it available to the community now that you've closed your original thread?
Of course all credits remain with you, it just helps those who need it as I've been hit with PMs about how to get the newer versions working.
I've had to notify you in this way (creating a thread) as it says you do not receive private messages any more.
Regards,
RavenY2K3

Maybe he doesn't frequent the note 3 thread anymore.
Track his latest posts and reply there
Last post he did was in a Nexus 5 thread, I've been told by mods I cannot post bugger all unless I get his go ahead, even if I rewrite it from scratch as it's still his method if you know what I mean.
So I have added something extra, to what was already a great tool to help people, but cannot release a thing.

I mean, maybe you can post a couple requests in his Nexus 5 thread just to make sure he's seeing your messages.
Atleast we'll know whether he's intentionally ignoring or not.
Just rewrite it, rebrand it. You can't copyright code.

"Just take it, casually "rewrite it", call it something else..."
do you know how many have been banned for stuff like that?
I also see the OP has thanked you, I had come in here to give the go ahead, but you guys are ready to kang things and call it good.
So, for now, no, the license stands as is.
Flagging this for a mod to kill off now.

I think you are the complete opposite of what XDA stands for in the name of Android development. No sharing. No help. No assistance. Just lock up your own code for some Internet fame.
I don't even care about vega as my knox is tripped.
It's not right that you can just say, "okay this code is now licensed under xyz license" and then you don't even offer support? There is a difference between a kang and a rewrite...
What do you gain by licensing it? I read that you stated it's because you don't want to support the other kangs or something? Well, nobody expects you to.
You are just hampering development for this device.
Just my two cents and not meaning to be a personal attack but I just don't see your motive.

@designgears
It wouldn't have gone up, after the mods filled me in on the "Ins and outs" and even if you'd have stayed away, I wouldn't have posted it, I got PMs for it, but didn't disclose anything, because I "respectfully" understood why.
Even if you had have stayed dark, it wouldn't have been posted without your permission... it would have been annoying as hell, but not released.
As for the comment above, I thanked because I can sort of see what he's getting at about the code, rewrite it another language, it becomes something different that achieves the same result.
The fact you've reopened the original thread, has restored my faith in humanity
Regards.

Yes you can and what you're suggesting is illegal.
Thread closed.
Kinda hard to tell, since you gave zero information. But I'd call bs since there's nothing about it in the bounty thread and it would be there immediately.

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

And that he has 4 posts and 3 thanks, no images, no videos, no other information other than "I rooted it temporarily".
Hey guess what, I rooted this phone a month ago. I work for VZW as a system / software security expert and have access to their methods and scripts for bypassing their software security measures. See, anyone can post up anything for attention.

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.
Chainfire is a god!

**Sarcasm face**[emoji19]
*Samsung Pay
If you lose samsung pay then I guess I won't root.
It should also be noted that only certain variants are rooted, therefore, this thread's title is misleading.

I see you've asked the same question for the Xperia Z3. Gosh. How unlucky, forgetting passwords/losing fingerprints for both "your" devices!
According to your profile you like "hacking forensics".
Well well well.....

Boot to TWRP.
Under mounts make sure that the internal storage is mounted
Got to file manager in recovery.
Now, go to root folder /data/system
If the unlock was pattern lock delete gesture.key
If it was password or pin delete password.key
This is what worked for me on note 3 Lolli and marshmallow. If the lock your trying to bypass was a pattern, lock once booted, if pattern request still appears enter any pattern the from settings set a new one or just change to swipe.

Serious queston, no malice intended - what sort of job do you have that involves hacking Android security?
I'm genuinely curious.
If your job involves high level hacking, I can't see any reason you'd be asking for help on a public forum. You should have a skillset way above any advice you could get from here.
If it's merely an interest, I can't see how you're ethically or legally legit.

While asking how to bypass lockscreen security is a legitimate question, and threads like this are generally allowed. I feel OP may have malicious intent. Do not use XDA for illegal activities.
Thread closed.
Going to be creating a petition as an attempt to somehow get us a unlock for the device. I will update this periodically in the coming days and weeks.
Here is the link to the petition I have made.
https://www.change.org/p/amazon-unl...otloader-5884c88e-9ccf-4cdd-b2e8-846d03d294f1
UPDATE 12/27
Tomorrow I will be adding a link to the petition. With the holidays and everything going on things are quite crazy.
UPDATE 12/28
I have updated the post to include the link to the petition.
If anyone would like to include any specific wording in said petition please reply below stating so.

Look, I never agree with the guy, but Davey126 explained to you in the other thread. Even if you acquired an unobtainable amount of signatures, somehow got it in front of someone that mattered, and forced them to read it, they would ignore it. Plain and simple. If they wanted to unlock the bootloader, they would have done it at release. Oh, but a bunch of nerds want me to do it so they can sidestep the OS we designed for it. Look at the petition for the S5: 1400 signatures and didn't make a difference. The same can be said for every device this has been attempted with. I wish it weren't true, it's just not ever going to amount to anything...

You can ask google for meaning of a word
petition meaning
a formal written request, typically one signed by many people, appealing to authority in respect of a particular cause.
"she was asked to sign a petition against plans to build on the local playing fields"
synonyms: appeal, round robin, list of signatures/protesters
"about 7,000 people signed a petition objecting to the scheme"
