I think they can tweak the Root method for the international Note once they get a system dump from an ATT Note. I don't think it's a big stretch.

I have the international version, rom LA4. I screwed up and updated with KIES from the previous rom to LA4 and lost root. To get it back, I'd have to downgrade (wipe), root, then update OTA to get it back. The exploit used for the older rom won't work on the newer. Not sure if they will figure it out, I think they would rather spend their time tinkering with ICS (can't blame em). Make sure one the at&t version can be hacked, that you watch how you update it. First time I've had a non rooted phone for 9 months, the ads are about to drive me nuts
I'm sure when ICS hits, it will be full of exploits to root it until Sammy figures out where the holes are located and plugs them up.
More then likely we can root with Skyrocket's version.

I really like what I see from this rom: rootgalaxys3iii.com/turkbeyrom-v3/
But everywhere I've read about it, it references the international version of the phone.. this will be my first root and Rom flash so I am really nervous about bricking my phone if it isnt meant for att version.
Thanks for helping
If it is made for the international version then do not flash it on the us version. Since you are new I would suggest you flash roms that are for your carrier, ie the ones listed in whatever carrier development forum you use for your service. Be advised though to please do plenty of research on whatever questions you may have in the future as it will save you major headaches

Unfortunately no it wont work. I9300 roms cannot be flashed due to different internals. You'll be lucky to get a boot screen if you flash but could probably still recover. Definitely wont work though until someone ports it over for your model.

im looking for a factory based holo blue themed rom for a buddy.... also looking up what else i need to do before flashing anything on it... its bone stock
Jelly Beans is the ROM to go to.
But make sure your buddies phone is already unlocked. If he didn't unlock his bootloader and install a custom recovery by now he's probably screwed. That OTA has destroyed any current working methods of getting custom recovery capabilities.
If he didn't get the OTA then have him read the Unlocking the Bootloader thread under the Original Development sub forum for the Verizon Galaxy Note 2.
Quick question. If I haven't updated am I still good to use the old unlock?

Samsung doesn't, Verizon does. I can't tell you what their real reasons are for locking bootloaders but I believe their public statement is that they feel by locking these phones down securely they can provide a better network experience for everyone.
Yeah, bull****. It's so they can force bloatware down our throats and prevent people from using root required workarounds to things they keep locked on us. See Google Wallet vs Isis for further study.
Dang. Verizon sucks balls. Hope theres a workaround soon
Sent from an Apple killing JellyBean
Anybody here feel confused with some of the users that are updating to the latest locked down firmware, I just find it weird that people are knowingly locking down their phones, the main reason people come here is to do the opposite. I've read people apply the update and they still ask for some sort of support from community members. I just dont get it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I read some saying they didn't care and after some did the update they said the phone was faster and worth losing root. Others just want root and were able to update using voodoo ota rootkeeper. To keep root and update.

They kept root in a sense. Yes, they can still run some apps that require root, but they cannot flash a custom kernel or recovery.

I traded my note 2 and got this. Met the guy at Verizon. Got the prompt for the OTA and took it before I knew what was good for me. Although I would have preferred not to, I am very impressed with the stock firmware.
Only disappointment which would make me want to root is WiFi tethering doesn't work in Pdanet, and of course the annoying WiFi toggle - both things I'm content dealing with without pulling hair out while I wait for the new exploit.

Would this vulnerability work on the s4 with kitkat?

Edit @geohot has made a root method that works. All you have to do is go to http://towelroot.com and click the icon in the center to download tr.apk . Install the tr.apk after allowing installation from unknown sources. The click the button to root and the phone will reboot and you will have root. I recommend you download the updatesupersu1.99 zip and install the supersu from the common folder after extracting.

That vulnerability is going to be like Cube's getroot - it's going to work on a huge number of devices.
I've been looking on how to exploit it but haven't had much time to devote to it, but apparently it's been cracked for at least one phone.
We'll have native root on the S4/S5 and who knows what else pretty soon if I'm not mistaken. Good news.
Any devs willing to work on this? @k1mu @Surge1223 @ryanbg

After reading the linked post it seems this is more a "nah-na-nah-na boo-boo" thing. It's not released, but it does give me hope that we can get a native root method like JB had.
My question is, to what end? Surge's pre - rooted functions well and is effectively stock, would this make any functionality differences vs a pre rooted rom?

It would be easier to do, and for example, if you dont flash SuperSu before a reboot after installing a rom, you will lose root and have to start the downgrade and upgrade process all over again. If there was a native root method all you would have to do would be to probably run a script on your computer with your phone plugged in and you will have root back. I'd imagine it would be safer and have less chance of bricking.
I actually prefer the more difficult hacks...less likely to be exploited for malware. Not saying this one will be or even could be, but easy root is not necessarily good. I'm sure jcase is shaking his finger at everyone somewhere, lol.

I think jcase liked that a guy got root from this on the att s5. But jcase isn't working on this because he is on break.

It's already worked out question is how the bounty is going to be paid and or split. It's not just one persons work but a bunch of contribute used info being used and who will get full credit. The bounty is what's holding up release because now yall want to pay

As I've said before, bounties aren't my motivation. I post what I find and make it public.
This particular vulnerability is an interesting one, with a good potential for exploit. It is not going to be easy to exploit across a large number of phones.

I was told by someone on another forum that's been looking at it for the RAZR HD/M that it needs to be able to directly access memory, which as we know, can't be done in Java. Are you looking at doing it in C? Just a curiosity is all.
Would this method allow custom kernels? Or just root?

Just root. Unlocked bootkoader is needed for custom kernels.

Probably Safestrap recovery by @Hashcode just like ATT S4 and Note 3..... per my buddy @Surge1223 we might able to use Note3 Kitkat Safestrap Recovery v3.72.... time would tell.

I couldn't care or less if they release this root method. We already have several pre rooted ROMs with kitkat. I understand the exploit could be easier to root but I don't care how long it takes to root. I just want an unlocked bootloader. If anything we need to get more people to add to the bounty to maybe attract attention. And get as many devs working on it as possible. I am sure surge is probally getting tired of working on this for so long. It's been close to a year and nothing since loki. I bought my s4 because I thought it could be unlocked but I bought it just around the time Verizon patched loki which sucks

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but this vulnerability is very difficult to exploit, and even if done correctly, will not be stable on the majority of devices. @jcase has already taken a look at this since the day it came out, and if he says it's not worth the time, it's not worth the time. Geohot may have been able to exploit it, but you only have access to a root shell for 15-20 seconds before the device becomes unstable and shuts down. SEAndroid is also an obstacle after the vulnerability has been exploited. While it's certainly possible, it's a bit far out of the ballpark to be feasible at this point in time.
