Hey everyone, bootloader is finally almost done i will be posting thread shortly and will also be posting my perma root solution. I have a post on aicp/lollipop community on google
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------
I am in the final stages of coming out with a apk called PERMA root. It will root while also giving you the option to unlock bootloader. I am testing on two more devices before release. I want to leave nobody unhappy. Therefore any device you may have will work. As new phones are introduced it will only take a couple days to activate from my end. Please be patient because as you already know this is some hard work and long hour testing.
Tested devices: (list includes all carriers) (multiple devices in each listed brand tested to include s4 and s5) Lg, Samsumg, htc, and currently testing last of others. Thanks for the patience.
Be welcome to share accross XDA

Not my software and I've got no control over its release, just found it in the S5 forum and figured most over here would want to see even if it is a longshot.

Don't get excited people. That thread has become an all out flame war and I see warnings and/or bans coming instead of root.. Oh well... ?
is he saying that the app will be able to unlock the bootloader on the verizon retail version of the note 3? Can i have the link to that thread? Thanks.

He was claiming root and bootloader unlock. But instead of getting everyone riled up he probably should have made it a covert job and then "Bam" here you go. Kinda like when the Rezound got s-off. But the thread got way out of control and it's locked now until he can prove he has something substantial. If you'd like to check it out see the first post in this thread and go to original post quote.
While I love the xda community and have been along time member and highly appreciative of the devs.
I'm just about ready to toss this phone in the garbage.
I miss the days of flashing my phone every week to the latest and greatest when I had my original galaxy note for 2 years.
My 2cents
Wow really your going to get frustrated and throw out a phone that costs 400-700$ because you can't flash roms endlessly yeah i get tw sucks and I want to have better options for roms but even if I lost root I would not throw out my note 3.

I feel the same way about my galaxy bloat 3. First and formost i need a phone that works as a phone. This phone has the worst service and software out of any phone i've owned. As far as the sortware goes i thought i would be able to fix it with cm11 but thanks to verizon and me not doing my home work a head of time i'm stuck with the ****tiest phone i've ever owned. I can't wait for july to replace it with a motorola product.
I must be getting old. I don't see a problem with the stock note 3 and the bloat. Yeah the signal could be better but that is on Samsung more than Verizon. And yes Verizon could shorten the approval process for updates and Samsung could drop tw and put out updates in line with the nexus line as all manufactures should the ui should be a app on the app store and be little more than a launcher for people to choose to use if they want.
Not going to happen. If your on big red you likely don't have a choice or it is the best service in your area or your grandfathered into unlimited. The Samsung phones were the only ones with 2 features I am unable to give up battery that is removable and sd card.

If this phone doesn't end up with Lollipop that's rootable or an unlocked bootloader before February, I'm throwing mine at my Verizon Rep's face and picking up a Note 4. We bought Note 3's for only two reasons. The first reason was that the other Note's were easy to root and flash to CM and the second reason was because of the S-Pen. At this point I would take a loss on the S-Pen functionality just to be rid of all of the Samsung Bloat on my phones.
Wow. sounds like you all should be buying an international variant. trashing you phone or going to a N4 with a locked bootloader is not going to solve your problem. I am pleased with my Rooted N3 and have no issues and will stay with Samsung for a while. Root is nice but it's not going to cause me to put my phone in the trash, there are other things in life that are far more important
Yeah way to stick it to Samsung by throwing out last quarters model and buying the brand new one.
I see both sides, though we didn't have ten or fifteen roms to flash, this phone was not a waste at all. It's a solid phone for my use. But flashing roms has become a hobby and I don't like not doing that either. So even though most of the developers are going to the Nexus. I just don't like having no SD or removable battery either. And how are they handling any replacements for a phone currently not carried by Big Red? May not be the place for me to ask that but I'm curious.
You might want to check out the Note 4 forum for scripts that can disable a ton of the bloatware without root. I am still rocking rooted MJE so I can't test it with kitkat. It supposedly will run on most android phones. Just wanted to mention a potential solution until root achieved.

So locked note 3 to a locked down note 4 when you are stuck with the options of motorola or sony for unlockable phones that are on verizon.
IF you really have to have CM 12 you are going to have to either make sure the phone you get at that time has an unlockable bl or is a nexus.
And as for the note 4 it is only a slight upgrade over the note 3 and both will someday get lollipop note 4 sooner than the note 3...

If this is a useless post I'm sorry, I just want to help if at all possible. Long story short I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II that I picked up and some things about it have lead me to believe I am in possession of a test device. I.e. silver markings across the front of it, a serial number, exposed wireless charging leads on the back, and it appearing as a "4g test device" in my account. I already soft bricked the thing once trying to root it. My question is, is there anything on this device that could be helpful to the community? I just wanted to throw it out there before I do anything stupid with this thing. Thanks.

I do not have a picture of the apps that were running on it as I soft bricked the phone it's running on a different image atm.
The two leads on the back are for wireless charging. The other stuff I don't know about.
You might try getting a hold of someone in the Dev threads as they would be the ones who would need things. I know that AdamOutler has basically unlocked the phone already but I might try to get a hold of him.
Where did you get the device from? All Verizon has the wireless charging set up. But the other things don't know.
Did you get this from Verizon or another actually retailer? Or was this an eBay / Craigslist purchase? Definitely get a hold of Adam though...maybe it has an old version of the OS with an unlocked bootloader

Yeah definitely need to get Adam in here. That's a definite unique piece of equipment.
Adam may be interested in that bootloader
If it's an engineering one that is
Definitely not an normal Note. The menu and back button methods and raised home button intrigue me the most.

Looks like you have an early test device. Odds are though, the good stuff from it won't be able to be dumped without special tools. Also, would you be able to go to Settings > About Phone and find the hardware revision? I'm interested in seeing what revision you have. Definitely a cool purchase though.

Didn't VZW say they beta tested this phone a long time ago slightly before the release? My guess it is just one of those. I forgot, but it was posted up pre-release in a long winded post from another forum. Basically said that VZW didn't think N2 would be a big seller and wanted to test it out in the field first/found that more people enjoyed the white version as well.

Being a test device, it could potentially get radios and other ROMs before the release devices, but it sounds like that got wiped out in a failed root attempt. Also, the test device could have a signed and unlocked bootloader, but one probably couldn't dump it from the device for flashing anyway. I'm sure it is an early test device, as there are likely hundreds of other test devices, Note 2 and otherwise, for people to test and use before VZW gives a :good: to sell, or decides to pursue other devices.

Has anyone offered a bounty for unlocking the boot loader for AT&T and Verizon Note 3? They did it for the S5 (#Demiurge7) "root only", why leave the note 3 in the cold...
I'd be more than happy to throw down a benjamin (or two) for this long-awaited effort. actually, I'd go as far as offering to buy the developer who does it a Note 4 (carrier of choice) (or a device to be named later...) when they land - or is that not a deal, still 700 bennies worth of value...
anyone else want to join the bounty... c'mon!

one of the reasons I ask to start a bounty for the note 3 (AT&T and Verizon)
Is because I ganked my phone with the NC4 OTA - like a stupid stupid person. I had NC2 on the note 3, liked the option to swing back to 4.3, yet the other day odined my way out of choice -
so in speaking to verizon, who flatly outright refused to do anything about getting 4.3 back - they wont do it...
this upsets me greatly, and figure is some developer was willing to go the distance, take one for the crowd, and figure out how to achieve unlock of the boot loader, then that'd solve a lot of problems -
or whack the white / black list - whatever prevents the NC4 from being overwritten... and so it goes..
but, be that as it may - I think as consumers we should have the following rights.
1. to completely have the freedom to do what we want with a device - i.e. phone / tablet - and not let the carriers / manufacturers run a game against us.
Owning a PC always, always has given us the freedom to do with it what we want, anything, it's an open book, you want windows, linux, etc, it's yours... you can do anything, even build your own OS etc, with no worries about trashing your hardware...
the same should be for a phone / communication device -
I could give a rats butt if a carrier propagates a device as a means to sell services, locking it down and preventing a consumer from modifying a device should be made illegal - i could go on...
but that's why I think it's worth it to offer a bounty for matters such as these -
besides, if someone cracks the bootloader of the Note 3, they've most likely done it for the S5 etc - or close to it; it paves the way for the next gen of hacks etc...

Beans put out a method that, after using towelroot to root NC4, is supposed to achieve NC2-like results. Look for it in the development thread.
You might be able to get back to where you want to be, but I'm not sure if you can downgrade, too. I think the SELinux permissive and the kernel modules were the only features mentioned.
Good luck!
thanks, actually, i did the following

Though I cannot flash the NC2 tar directly, did the following:
1. extracted "ALL_VZW_N900VVRUCNC2_N900VVZWCNC2_1014200_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" using 7zip
2. downloaded a utility that took all the img files within the "ALL_VZW_N900VVRUCNC2_N900VVZWCNC2_1014200_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT" folder and created individual flashable tars ("boot.tar.md5", "modem.tar.md5", "NON-HLOS.tar.md5", and "recovery.tar.md5")
3. flashed the tars to my device using odin -
4. flashed "nc2kernel.tar.md5" using odin - #beanstown106 file
results - well, all flashed no problem, upon reboot, baseband reads "N900VVRUCNC2" - not sure if that is the modem but all seems to run perfect...
what did I do, anything? I was on nc4 previously.
Someone should update the past with details on how much the bounty is total and each person who is buying a beer

Its about time they gave the Note 2 the respect that it deserves in my opinion this phone is one of the best smartphones out there Im on 4.1.2 unlocked rooted with philz touch recovery running Alliance Rom build 30 with the lastest Agni kernel and the phone is super fast and kicks ass so Lollipop can easily be handled by this phone so Im happy to hear the good news
Yeah this is pretty exciting news!
Hoping for an early release date, which seems unlikely though.
I was shocked to see this post and the other news sites report on it, pretty cool.

I know the feeling. They've shot past the EOL time window completely. Shame too, the note 2 is still a great phone.
Not to mention it seems like development has slowed down or stopped altogether for this phone.
Finally upgraded to the Note 4...retail edition, locked bootloader and no root. Think I'm done with Samsung haha.
Nexus phones seem to be the next best choice.

Unfortunately I like so many others who have the "retail" version of the Note 4, are waiting on devs to get root for us.
They have temp root but that's not root at all. It goes away with every reboot / shutdown of the phone...
Now if you do get the Note 4, never take OTA updates, and get the developer edition of the phone! It's expensive though.
All things considered I love the Note 4! My only gripes are root and the battery life on Lollipop. I can downgrade to KitKat to fix that but what's the use for temp root? Great phone tho a major improvement over the Note 2.

I moved on to the LG G3. Seriously beautiful phone, great specs, and fairly easy to root and with bumped kernels it's like having the bootloader unlocked (even if it's not). So yes you can have CM/AOSP ROMs on the G3 easily.
This totally sucks. The Note 2 is one of the best phones ever created. It's a total shame to stop updating it. No real replacement exists.

Yeah it's a great phone. If you are a grandma with Alzheimers and don't know what rooting is. I have it. I use it to lure theives into my place so I can shoot them. I post pictures on Craigslist of it sitting on my front door step. so far Ive had a dog knock my trashcan over... no way to root it man. they've had scientists working on it for months. so far. we've found that Verizon stuck a big FU on it and then charged $770 for and then just for fun they call to remind you that there are companies such as straight talk that charge a fraction of the price and your bill is due. if you can't pay. too bad you can't take your s6 edge plus to another company cuz they love you so much and if you look at that other phone they will slap the piss out of you in public. basically you bought an overly insecure girlfriend in the form of a phone. but hey at least you can't expand the memory with a micro sd right?! I couldn't trade it for a rock being dropped on my foot. ENJOY!
Lol you are hilarious. I bought the phone for 350, its just gorgeous. Would have loved the root which I miss. However its a steal at 350 given the hardware stupendous phone, display, style and camera unmatchable in the hardware section. I bought it unlocked so I can use it anywhere

Yeah I have been hoping for a while. actually I do have a question concerning it and not sure who to ask. If i were to swap the logic board with say a t mobile one would I be able to root it? I know this would basically make it t mobile phone but then i could root it. I found one craigslist for 100. not too hard to do either. I've replaced the screens on a bunch of galaxy phones. and not the cheap two sided tape either but the UV glue and all.
Apparently Verizon S6 Edge variant already has a working root. Dont know why Plus model doesnt have. Looks to me that given it was expensive not many experts bought it and hence no root as developers and experts didnt buy it maybe.

Yeah you may have a point there but man am I hoping you're wrong. especially with the note 7 coming out at $100 more than the s6 edge plus.

And then after everyone complains about it we'll bring back the SD slot and the S7 will come stock with a permanent bootloop animation of us flipping them off!" and then the CEO says "genius! and let's not bring back the big screen either. because the dumb asses who buy the s6 edge plus and get use to the big phone will then get the s7 and because it's smaller will drop it. leaving little pieces of glass all over the US and cutting the bastards feet. Get to is boys! next a I want to come out with a 3 in 1 laptop. first you have a tablet mode and then of course the laptop, but then randomly a baseball bat comes out an beats the living hell out of the user. The US will fall just like the south fell to the yankees when they introduced Twinkies and mobile homes."

Apparently Verizon S6 Edge variant already has a working root. Dont know why Plus model doesnt have. Looks to me that given it was expensive not many experts bought it and hence no root as developers and experts didnt buy it maybe.

Yeah you may have a point there but man am I hoping you're wrong. especially with the note 7 coming out at $100 more than the s6 edge plus. I will say the one thing that I have been upset not to see is the 16mp camera lately. it seems backwards as heck and I think some of the designers are smoking their own bath water at samsung...

im new at this whole thing. ive been trying for weeks and even months to try and find info on rooting this dang phone. So, it cant even be rooted with the bootloader unlocked?
Looks like. Mostly because not many people bought it because it was expensive and developers also didn't buy it. I'm sure it's easy for any seasoned developer to root it. But I don't know anyone. Anyways very happy for a price I bought it 350 bucks unlocked.

its unlocked? Bootloader is unlocked? or is the OEM unlock toggle checked in DEV options, some will assume because that's checked that its unlocked, Sorry to Burst your bubble but All premium phones at Verizon are unlocked for international use, meaning you can use other sim cards in them But I doubt the Bootloader is Unlocked from verizon
I'm gonna be buying a temp phone soon so I will be able to send mine to a dev if anybody is interested in trying to crack this device.
You got it.

I need root too.. i want to remove verizon screen when startup..
Even Verizon galaxy s7 has been rooted by the community. I don't think we can get root unless any big developer buys this. Till then enjoy the hardware and pray we might get root and better software experience :laugh:

I was just looking for this same thing. I ran across a website that shows it can be done, don't know how valid this is though.
Bright future
It seems the G6 is poised for a bright future if it just catches on...
Samsung always takes the cake though

I'm wondering if anybody plans on root at all in the future before buying this phone. Don't want it if there's no development on it!
There's nothing. Which is a shame because I would be rocking this thing already
This is the first phone I have gotten that I don't have the need to root
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk
I like to have AdAway, Folder Mount, Quick Boot, and Xprivacy, which need root.
The lack of root is the only thing keeping me from getting this with the Best Buy deal
Best buy deal was too good to pass up and I got one for a family member coming from an ancient Galaxy S3. Really hoping we see root.
Glad I'm not the only one. I traded in for the V20 but it has to be shipped first and I'd much rather keep the G6.. Awesome phone.

I really want to get it, but the complete lack of discussion about it tells me it's not happening anytime soon.

Agreed. I feel like nothing will ever get root again on verizon unless you buy an unlocked phone for a ton of money or a last year model on swappa - but I always buy new.

I don't know what changed. It seems like there's a new push to lock down Android, it might have to do with Android Pay. It's really a shame. I don't understand the lack of people looking for exploits. Maybe they just aren't posting about it like they used to.

Google has created nearly as much of a "walled-garden" as Apple have. Clearly the "security" concerns of the extreme few have caused quite a panic and nearly all of the major manufacturers have locked down their bootloaders and exploits are being punished legally in some cases. Crazy considering it is all based around "open source" code.
VZW is by far the worse offender and I am only on their network because the others all suck in my area. Not that it matters anymore since practically none of them have rootable devices. Unfortunately the best bet this year is the headphone jackless HTC U11 for a whopping $650 for the unlocked, bootloader mod-allowed version.
Has any one tried Kingo Root?
https://www.kingoapp.com/bootloader-unlock/how-to-unlock-lg-bootloader-on-android-device.htm
I may look into it later this week. I have a few things to try.
What a shame. This phone is fantastic, the LG V20 just showed up for me to pick up and I find myself reluctant to pick it up. I know it has root, as I roofed it for my boyfriend, after extreme difficulty it worked but all the custom ROMs for it made it where he can't receive texts or calls. Haven't gone looking for the fix yet. I may wait.
Crossing my fingers at the above post. You'd be my saving Grace. (;

Oh and for KingORoot, you need to ask for the OEM unlock code through LG but this phone isn't apart of their available devices. Exploit please!
I fixed his V20, now is rooted with custom ROM and calling and text officially work. Is it enough for me to give up my G6 for root? Still reluctant. Yes, that's how good it is.
Autoprime just posted in the main G6 dev area, it sounds like he is doing a bit of poking at the platform.
It doesn't directly help vs988, but any sign of an experienced developer working the G6 is great.
