I am S-off. Thought about converting to unlocked, just seems like a lot of stuff above my limited skills to do it. And to come back to Verizon variant I've read is a big hassle to. Trust me, I've thought about it.

I'm sure you have and of course you'd have to be comfortable with the procedure. But should you change your mind, know that the instructions around for doing so are fairly simple, and converting back to VZW is a cinch, I've done it myself and it was a two-step process (change cid back to VZW and run ruu).
Update is tomorrow boys and girls
Leak
Has the update leaked anywhere? It's hard waiting until tomorrow

I just received the ota for 2.3.3 and cannot find a thing anywhere about that has changed. I have noticed the facebook integration is not there and I now have mediahub. Ither than that I am finding nothingness.
Someone please help me out with this. Its getting me really irritated.
On another note there has been one bug I noticed was fixed: the screen going all tweaky when you try to type when its plugged in.

I'm not rooted on my play. Ever since the issues I had with verizon on my fassy I think I'm gonna stay away for the 1st year of contract.
Sorry I cant help you on that subject.

Verizon usually lists the bug fixes in a pdf.

I'm hopping on the Verizon Site now, and i'll see if they'll be so kind as to respond in a forum (sometime) about this update.
Yea my phone tried to do it as well. I stoped it though because im unlocked and on an rooted/debloated stock rom and worried it could cause problems. Not that I could not fix mind you, but it would requre me borrowing a computer as I do not have one
If anyone takes the plunge from a similar position I would love to hear storys

I'm not sure how I feel about the included version (3.6.84.26668.26670.1638.Verizon), since it's missing the custom dictionary of added words. The overall look is different, which is fine, and I like the numbers having the top row.

OTA (you need to be on data, not wifi)
Update: After playing around a little bit, I realized i have slightly better signal!

Now it's time to try gingerbreak...
update: tried gingerbreak 2x for 20 minutes apiece, on a non formatted then formatted sd card, and got nowhere ...

I also was wondering that. From what I know if it does not have correct signature our locked bootloader won't install any Odin file. I may try it later and will report back.

kernal is locked so you will get a mismatch and a soft brick. we will have to wait for ATT to supply the update to our bootloader. This is complicated by the fact that 5.0 is now in art runtime instead of davlik. hopefully the middle of Feb we will see a update.

No we will not get them unlocked unless AT&T changes their stance. My point was you will be unable to use other 5.0 ROMs until the death star update our phone to 5.0 and then we will have matching kernels to boot touchwiz based 5.0 ROMs in safestrap.

It's not just Samsung. AT&T and Verizon asked Samsung to add things like a locked bootloader and Knox to cater to Corporate America. So blame the carriers too. The W8 is the same phone, but TMobile didn't ask for all the corporate crap.
No way!! Its the fact samdung gives into the crap. Who will pay me the most? Lets markup the device as high as it can go... then make the end user feel special. Too many dramas

Link for Dev Ed

Mines on order as well. Been waiting for some more Note 4 Dev to come in stock (for a spare). Checked on the Edge and figured for another $100, why not?
Love my Note 4 Dev Ed, but the thought of something happening to it encouraged me to buy another as a backup. My luck, they'll finally come up with a Root exploit for the retail edition now.
so maybe root soon for Verizon devices ?
Wow! 800 bones. I would be just as happy (at this point) if we Verizon users could just get Lollipop!
Root probably but will anyone write vzw roms for such a rare device?

YAY! mine just got here today. looking for that CWM thread now lol. Sadly it doesnt come prerooted lol but it was sure nice seeing the "Developer Device" tag under my battery. at least i dont think it is already rooted, downloading SU as i type this so i'll have an answer to that in a few minutes when i try root checker. but either way im going to install CWM very soon i hope and maybe we will get a good VZW rom, heck i'd be happy just unlocking the hotspot and killing all the samsung apps at this point... that'd hold me until a suitable rom comes forward.
anywho it has been a long wait for us VZWers soooo glad we finally got this, let the apps begin! XD

Still trying to get root. A Samsung help person told me the bootloader was locked by default and there was no unlock method. (Posted screen cap in another thread) but that doesn't make sense. Either she didn't read my text when I said I had the developer edition or she was clearly too dumb to qualify for the job she had. There would be no point in dev editions if they were exactly like the retail versions. I think @docugod was able to root using the note 4 method but I'm waiting for his reply to make sure I read him correctly.

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. I guess we'll never get an unlocked bootloader. I use to have an att galaxy s4 and I hated that thing. Samsung has really improved since then.

This is the first phone that I have not rooted. I like using Samsung Pay and Android Pay, so until someone makes those work with root I'll stay stock.

Samsung US employee Rydah on Twitter said "maybe later" but most likely FRIDAY before the banner/registration will be posted. He's in Pacific time, so probably based on their timezone.
They are still doing internal tests and will compile a "Z" build from it if it's stable enough for public consumption.

Actually a lot of companies release stuff on Friday. That helps them avoid bad press as well as too much negative exposure and gives them time to rollback and fix if something goes wrong (They fix over the weekend coz apparently developers have no life )
