So I've started researching the Note 3 as of recently as a replacement to my S4. What's got me worried is all the talk about how Verizon has taken extra steps to lock down the Note 3. I know the talk isn't anything new since Verizon has consistently tried locking down our phones without success, however is there anything new to cause concern over this phone in particular? Are we confident that the Note on Verizon will receive root with s-off? Not having root would definitely be a deal breaker so I'd like to nail down the facts before I pull the trigger. Also another side question, what is the version number for the Verizon version? Thanks for any help provided!
Found the answer to my second question. The Verizon version model number will be model SM-N9005
That's the same lte model that they are already rooting overseas. The criteria being the bootloader is unlocked. I'll be around to supply cheer and encouragement

Ive been trying to keep up with the note 3 forums when they opened and they are rooted and do have custom roms but the bootloader has to be unlocked just to even get root through odin. Verizon will def be locking it down. Hopefully wont be too long before a dev cracks it because I need root!!!!!!!

-s3
-note 2
-s4
-tab 2 7.0
And I am sure it will work on the note 3 .. I have reached out to some high tech devs out here to help out on the recovery/rom .. Just waiting on some replys..

Right! We keep getting these ridiculous posts about "when will the the n3 be released" and crazy lies about the bl being unlocked already. People need to wake up and realize there IS NO UNLOCKED BL! If there was the s4 would have it. And another thing...its being released OCTOBER 10TH!

Oh, he also claimed an unlocked BL....Now in his comments he has one unlocked, but the other is not...this is his way of claiming they changed how the BL is locked. Ban this troll.

This is what pisses me off Suzook, I agree we have all been trolled and we all was hoping the 29th was the ship date. One of my best friends is a Verizon Corp manager and told me that Verizon was going to ship the phone out early so they wouldn't lose business to other carriers but there was some legal concerns about charging people cards earlier then what's posted on Verizon website. So they didn't sale early....
As for the guy saying he is going to unlock the bootloader he might be full of it and he might be telling the truth!!! There's 7+ billion people in this world, I'm sure it's possible that someone is either smart enough to crack it or has inside connections. Think about the S3, that was unlocked because someone leak an unlocked bootloader... Note 2 never received that leak, it was unlocked because Adam and Relake (I misspelled his name).
It's okay to be pessimistic, but lets see how this thing plays out instead of making rude comments. The rude comments serve no point and does nothing for the xda community.
If you would stop and reflect and compare your post vs your thanks, now look at my post vs thanks, you will see I have half the post but twice as many thanks as you... Why?? because I try to post comments with a purpose and not judge or say negative comments.

Verizon rep is full of it. All it takes is a simple email saying you are going to be charged a week early or whatever and if you wish to wait till 10/10 please call such and such and boom done. It was never early everybody speculated there was no proof of early release. Let me go back to bestbuy where I was yesterday talking to inventory guys and Samsung rep with road map and had 10/10 so anybody saying before is a straight up liar.
And the rude posts!?!? Are you kidding? Dude posts for sure they are shipping 9/29 & unlocked bootloader & then closes thread before he "talks" to Verizon. Yeah right. Now this unlocked crap he is full of it.

Suzook and I found a common ground, I understand where he's coming from and he understood my point. We can not predict the future.... EZ closed his thread because he was tired of you guys treating him like Sh.. for no reason.. If sockmonkey posted right now he has a unsecure bootloader for the note 3 you would call b.s.... but he is the same guy who released the bootloader for the s3... my point is until the guy proves he's full of it, give him a break...

There's already Hotspot mods for Sprint S7 that I know.
I just used a material theme that made the UI dark. Also used a material dark SwiftKey theme. So far I got everything looking great.
So far I'm not desperate for root altho i would love it.

You guys realize this isn't Sprint's fault, right?? It's ALLLL on Samsung doing this crap.
Yes
Although this is about the T-mobile CEO, it honestly sounds like he's the only one who cares about it, and is actively trying to come to an agreement with Samsung about the whole thing:

Mannn I want an S7 soo bad but once again Samsung f***ing us over. No root, and the Exynos version has better battery and better performance, so disappointing that the US got the short end of the stick.
Looks like I picked the wrong time to jump ship from HTC....
To me no root is a huge deal breaker. Im returing this phone today and waiting for the LG G5 or the next Nexus. I have the nexus 6 and I love it other than than the broken charging port but I can deal with a broken charging port for multirom and the best support. This phone with stock android and by google would be one of the best phones ever!
Samsung, what you have done to the user community is unconscionable. Don't blame Apple, the carriers, or your mother-in-law. You have made a marketing decision to shut the US user community out from the ability to have phones that are configured the way the users want them. You can't claim support - the same user community has been rooting their Galaxy phones for years without causing you much grief.
I suspect we now know the *real* reason you went with two processor architectures. It's only the US-based community you are hurting.
I switched several years ago to Samsung, and have bought many devices for my organization in the past. I waited a year for the S7 to correct your stupidity in removing the SD card slot from the S6. I'm not waiting another year - or even another three months. I'm looking NOW for alternatives. We all know they are out there. Once I leave Samsung, it will then take, not a really good S8, but my new vendor doing something equally stupid to cause me to consider switching back.
Dr. Kwon, are you listening? Do you even care?
this is just a little info i want to pass along that i learned from tmobile today. it's not meant to be an iphone vs. samsung thread.
i talked to a couple different reps today and they all told me the same thing. if you have a note 7 you can exchange it for an iphone 7 next friday. you cant do the pre-order because they would need to get the note 7 from you first before doing the iphone exchange. so you just take your note 7 into a tmobile store next friday and they will reimburse you for everything you paid for with the note 7 and you will even get your jump back. at that time you use the reimbursement to pay for the iphone 7 and use the jump that you just got back.
just wanted to pass along some info in case anyone else was wondering.
I'm pretty sure most people know this but thanks anyway. You can exchange it for any phone you want, no reason they would exclude the new iPhone. This is exactly what I plan on doing, I will be at the store at 10am on release day! Figured this is the best time for me to try out a iPhone, the timing is just to coincidental lol.
And, why downgrade to IPhone 7! Smh

That's your choice to make but just a small tip. Go to the store at 7:30 am on the release day. The stores here in New Jersey open early but they do not advertise it.

Let's use a little common sense when posting about an Iphone in a android based community. Honestly not many people in here would even care about that and to top it off why go to a phone that does less than what you have now. I know I know it blows up but you do know your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than your phone blowing up right now. I bet you still go outside and drive a car or get on a plane, etc..... You people kill me.
Thanks for the info but I dont see how this is the place for it. also, this was not a bashing post....
Thinking about going back to iPhone as well. I shouldn't have to compromise settings just for this phone to work.
As an Android/Samsung Fanboy it's a damb shame to have to go through all this.
The 6s Plus NEVER gave me any problems. Even with 2gb of RAM, it NEVER lagged. Hell, the battery was hard to kill with heavy usage (4hrs of youtube background play, fb, text, browsing XDA, etc).
I'm trying to give Sammy a chance but damn.. hopefully the results of these replacements can change my mind.

I think better comparison would be driving and texting or being distracted by phone in general: the same people panicking about faulty batteries think nothing of using the phone while driving and I'm guilty as well, just glanced at the map to check traffic ahead, same time as the guy in front stand on breaks, I barely stopped without hitting him and I drive a lot with years of experience. Probably more than 500 people die each yr. because of phone distractions. My phone charging station is on marble table in kitchen for years (convenience of multiple outlets at above waste level), accidently right next to smoke detector. Most likely it would be non event for me even if it burned to crisp. I put my life in much bigger danger when I'm cooking, but that's another story. As a side note advice, for those interested to buy iphone7, get iphone 6 instead put the tape on headphone jack and viola, you got iphone 7, you can thank me later.
Yeah but then they will lose out on the new shiny black one
Just placed an order for the jet black and was told it would be shipping in NOV lol, so i don't know what ever comes first new Note 7, V20 or iphone
Considering that the Note 7 is the most expensive phone T Mobile sells, it seems obvious that you would be able to exchange it for ANY other phone they sell.

Fair enough. It is at least 200% shinier than any previous iPhone, well, except for one.
Thanks for the info, I've been trying to the same, got no help at the store, went through 4 phone reps who refused to do it, and finally one gave in and pre ordered them for us. Wish they would've told us that we can just go get them at the store on Friday. They're saying that the phone is already sold out and that be shipments would come out in October or November

yea your best bet is to go into the store and get one. my local tmobile is opening at 8am and handing out tickets in case there is a line. they dont know how many they will have in stock.
i enjoy the people the bringing nothing to topic but come in to post to complain about others talking about the iphone. you act like someone talked bad about your mom. in the OP i stated this isnt an iphone vs android topic. yet some peoples blind loyalism cant understand that there are people that like both.

Note 7 to iPhone 7 in a Android based forum OK real relevant in a forum with 100 of thousands of users your 2 people that think it's useful makes your thread useful. Again not bashing just don't see the point of your thread but hey this ain't the first useless thread in here and sure it won't be the last carry on my bad.
Take care!

here's a question for you. if it's not useful to you then why did you comment in the first place? doesnt matter if it was 2 people or 100, it was still useful. did my original post some how say something bad about you? did it affect your life in some negative way? i just dont see the reason for your post. you brought nothing to this thread except to complain about me making a post and then say your not bashing. might as well said i'm bashing but not bashing. who cares if it's about the iphone. it's just a phone man. it's not that serious in the grand scheme of life.

yes i made a post because i was passing on some harmless information that might be useful to anyone interested. lol. like i said it's not that serious. i'm not upset, but this community has been getting worse and worse with members attacking or down talking each other over petty stuff. it didnt used to be like that.
My DM with a T-Mobile rep.
Any chance you can ask them to list the actual bands the phone supports?
I'm glad I'll be the recipient of the Exynos (unlocked) version. However i can get with the whole security aspect in regards to Google wallet & Samsung Pay/android pay. Like you mentioned though i NEVER and will EVER use this service, it gets disabled from the moment i get the phone (plus my bank doesn't support it anyway lol).
You pay a premium it should be up to the user as to what he does and yes what he/she risks.
I am very much against taking away the option of root and custom ROMs because of a service being forced upon us.

I second being against them taking away root and ROMs and forcing services upon us. If there was less or no fragmentation in android with regards to updates, I could perhaps stay stock..

LOL! Sorry but, how old are you? I'm as disappointed as anyone, but you're acting like a child. You think that because YOU'VE been with T-Mobile "since VoiceStream" T-Mobile should change their decision? Ridiculous. The guy you were talking to can't help you, cannot make any executive decisions and sure as hell isn't passing along your "concerns" to Legere. He also doesn't give a damn that you're cancelling a whopping THREE (3!!!) device orders. Did you think he was going to crumble to his knees, beg you to keep your orders and run tell boss, "we must change our bootloader plans because Mr. VoiceStream is simply NOT having it?"
You were just whining to yourself while he typed, "I understand how you feel" and rubbed your shoulders a bit.
Agreed, complaining to a underpaid rep that probably hates listening to people complain all day everyday is not going to get bootloaders unlocked.

You know the bootloader is locked before you buy the device. Deal with it and move on.

I ordered two from TMo and I'm sure that a root method will pop up soon after release.
Motorola had bootlocks on the Bionic and it was still able to be rooted. I bet within a month we'll be rooting with the rest of them.:good::good:

Samsung has officially lost by business. Been a samsung guy since the S3 and I've stuck with them in the years since. It's such a shame that they choose to do this. I don't need Samsung pay, as I have a wallet. Awful that they force these programs down our throats as they're nice to have but are completely unnecessary.

The Galaxy S7 came out in March and it took three months to even figure out how to root it. We don't even have a bootloader unlock for the GS7, and it's been a year since it's release. Might want to lower your expectations as devs are moving away from locked down devices like the Galaxy series in the U.S.
Wow this is like posting water is wet.
I stopped rooting my phones, but I'm still against taking away the option. I just never could pull the trigger on losing Samsung Pay permanently.

I'm in the same boat as you. Unsure of what to do for the foreseeable future. Also KNOX. I actually do care about tripping it. The email app my company uses breaks if KNOX is tripped....
I have 2 extra T-Mobile Galaxy S8 Plus. If someone can develop a root, and confident with it, i can test it out.

Ill work on a root but I need an s8 plus. Right now I'm $400 away from getting one. If someone wants to help me out. gofundme.com/3o4u02w I'm really wanting to do dev work on the exynos model but the SD would be a nice start. Got s7 edge roms to flash on the s7 active from tmo and att so this should be kinda not hard lol.

I'm saying I'd love to try it and see where It takes me. I've done alot of brick level activities on the s6 for sprint with success, had decent success with the activitiy on the s7 active. I know root and ROMS are two different things entirely but I feel I could pull it off. I have no job and all the time in the world to Dev something lol. Just looking for a chance to prove myself useful on xda.
---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------
To add more, I've only ever hard bricked 1 device my entire life and it was a oneplus one. Fixed it easily but nonetheless. I've had over 97 phones since age 15 and I'm 26 now. Had ever major Samsung flagship device except the note 7 and now the s8 plus. Gaining root and finding exploits and bugs is kinda my secret hobby now exposed lol.

Thanks! the hard brick on the one plus one was due to me flashing colorOS which is a Chinese OS for the OPO. I did something wrong and it hard bricked. I took it apart, removed the battary and did my Odin like setup to get back to CM12S before this was a tada look at this recover it was dead and not responding with 100% battary life prior to the brick. Took me all of 3 hours to fix it. to me that's a hard brick that I revived lol. An uncommon HB for the OPO with only 5 others with the issue. Least at the time.
I know I could find or help aid in the search for root and so on if I had an s8 plus. I'm so so close to having enough cash for one. Been trying to get the gofundme thing off and going so I can get to work on finding a solution

lol again, its not hard bricked if it was fixed with a simple battery pull but by all means lol..
i just dont think someone should donate an S8+ to anyone other than an experienced dev as well as I dont think anyone would be willing to do that either lol
in all reality someone doesnt even need the phone to find exploits/root and trust me it is not easy.. experienced devs take a long time if even ever to come up with exploits and it has only got more difficult..

I'm quite serious about doing dev work. Not that you may be or may not be referring to me, but in any case, even tho I have a low level doesn't mean I don't have an education, a brain crammed with knowledge and a yern to see future development. I'd love to contribute all I can since I know a decently fair amount about Samsung devices in particular and going through alot of code. Sorry if I sound "noob" but as Ive said, I've got more free time than Obama while he was in office. As sad as that is to say.

I fully agree that it is difficult, but with all respect, the s7 active has been out for a year give or take and no one aside from me has and any luck with flashing a nonexynos rom from a different carrier on it and having it work well with the exception of the lack of 3 buttons. Yes echo rom works but so do some others as well. I'm not asking for a free phone to mess around with, I'm looking for help with donations to get my hands on one. To be real with the not needing a device to do root and find exploits, im more of a hands on kinda guy and by that I mean device in my hands lol.
We should encourage people to help development, regardless of how significant or insignificant. This is the exact reason random people and developers don't put **** out for these phones. People never have anything nice to say! Even if you know the guy has absolutely no chance, why does that hurt you so much that you essentially have to say he's stupid and point out his mistake?

no one has called him,stupid except for you in your post.. if anything I am saying good luck and ifcppl want to give him a free phone then by all means lol
and to add some actual facts to your post, some devs will not work on certain devices because of fake wannabe devs lol.. jcase refused to work on the LG V20 for example because there was some fakes claiming they were devs and taking ppls domatioms when all they did was steal other ppls ideas and work..
its not unheard of for xda users to help eachother out by letting him know its not as easy as 123 and simply getting a non snapdragon rom to flash on the phone.. again, if ppl want to give an inexperienced user a free phone or donations to buy a phone instead of a proven and tested dev then by all means go ahead.. its a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinions.
I was saying the opposite of what you incinuated, i am trying to bring more real devs over here by implying any free phones or donatioms should go to them as we'd have a significantly better chance at obtaining root down the road this way based on what that guy has been saying

If I can jump in now, I am a bit slow yes, but I have an education and I've been messing with computers and tech since I was 2. I do agree with the comment of not bashing and getting " more experienced devs" on the matter but them devs were once in my shoes....sure theirs some fake bs ones out here but I say to them m.t.f.o.m.f I cannot begin to tell you of how many times I've had ample times to jump in and help on an important matter for development and chose not to for comments like what I read. Not just on here but on the opo forums as well. No it doesn't hurt me, but the shere lack of wanting to aid and this dude over here knows more and therefore should acquire one first is absolute bunk and just WOW lol. Kinda remember why I deactivated my old xda. Anyways, if anyone serious about development wants to help me prove to these "superior athletic guru types" I have a link in my profile. Damn shame when someone wants to seriously offer help for a,community but as soon as my computer lingo doesn't match, its fast to bash. Instead of pointing out my poor computer English why not just ask what I meant? Everyone is fast to judge these days.
