Since my note 2 has 4.3 and a locked bootloader I understand I cant flash custom roms its rooted though. Is there a safestrap version that works it looks like it could be a very long time maybe never if we get this 4.3 bootloader unlocked.

Don't be shocked if you end up with a locked device.
If you care about an unlocked bootloader, you may want to pass on it.

It means Verizon made a patch so you can't use the unlock bootloader method from the last software version.
I wonder if this was to patch that exploit for the exynos processor reported a few weeks back. The side effect of course is a relocked bootloader. That's why I didn't understand why everyone was bringing so much attention to it. Let's pray that Adam can unlock this new bootloader.
The OTA is a side effect of a relocked bootloader, not the fix itself. The original exploit didn't use the Exynos exploit, so I doubt it matters, UNLESS the new bootloader in the OTA has closed the original unlock method.
The exploit needed to be patched. Wayyy too easy for malware to exploit it and screw you.

What if we use insurance to replace our phones and we get one with this locked bootloader? Or what about people buying new phones? My wife's iPhone 4 was actually more valuable with iOS 5 than iOS 6. The iSheep still do not have a jailbreak for iOS 6.

Thanks for this information. I already learned the hard way on my Transformer Infinity to never update before unlocking. This will give me a reason to unlock my Note 2, root it, and install CleanROM, which is also what I have on my Infinity.

Reverting back to stock is so easy....all you need to do is odin flashing stock tar file....which will relock and unroot your phone with working OTA update. And I was referred to current rooted rom users. I don't think they need to be re-unlocked nor re-rooted. Flashing another updated rom and kernel will pretty much take care of everything. Besides, adrenalyne already has bootloader safe OTA update working......so there is no point of worrying. However, if someone is planning to buy a new phone and needs his or her phone updated, then yes.

if I used Odin to flash a completely stock tar image with just a root injected into it and then did the ota would I still be rooted? and what does the ota add anyways

Fixes the exynos exploit, locks the bootloader, and updates the radio. Possibly some other minor patches looking at the patch file sizes.
Stay away from the ota unless you use the safe one I created in another thread. Ignore AdamOutler's comment in this thread as it turned out to be wrong and people got locked up in the process.

Yes I stayed away from it as well and went ahead and unlocked the bootloader and now im happily running Jelly Beans rom so thank you. My question for you or anyone. Since im unlocked and on a complete new rom is this exynos exploit still on my device? If so how do u get it taken care of? Thanks and sorry for a noob question.

Depends on the kernel. I couldn't tell you with third party kernels, but the latest stock one from the ota closes the exploit and is safe to flash.
Ok thank you, I have that perseus kernal or something like that with the overclock feature. Learn something new everyday lol

So I just noticed today (been very busy with work) that there are some ME7 roms. I wanted to try the, is it Bone Stock one. So my stupid question, is if I try this rom.. I am not stuck to that am I? Like if I took the OTA I am stuck with that... that isnt the case with one of the ME7 roms, correct?
Sorry for the ignorance.
If you took the ota ME7 update, you can root, but cannot flash any roms as there is no custom recovery available. If your still on MDK, you can root and install custom recovery which will allow you to flash roms, even ME7 roms.

You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a stable ROM and good battery life. Not that I have anything bad to say about the others. All the active choices seem good.

S4 has never had an unlocked bootloader, it uses the Loki exploit which enables you to basically do everything you could do with an unlocked boot loader. I think all this bootloader talk has many misinformed. I could care less about an unlocked bootloader, I would like an exploit like Loki again if possible.
But to answer your question, you will still have the Loki exploit.

Does anyone know if there is going to be an upcoming update to the Casual software for unlocking bootloader on the newest firmware (MJ9) on the verizon galaxy note 2?
Or is there another tool for doing that?
I mistakenly did the OTA from verizon and I now I am unable to find a method for unlocking bootloader to install a custom recovery. Is safestrap possible for note 2?
thanks

I agree it worked for rooting the device, but I still can't install custom recovery, which means the bootloader is still locked. Anyway to unlock that?

Yes that works for rooting and no there is no way to currently unlock the bootloader on the 4.3 OTA.

Any developers working on VRUEMJ9 4.3 bootloader unlock? We have been waiting so long for this bootloader unlock so that we can use customrom.
If no one is working, then we can do OTA update to 4.4.2 VRUFND7.

I doubt it. Old device.
if u need root dont update, just install safestrap and run a kit kat rom.
The dev's said it wasn't worth their time to work so hard on because it was extremely hard to get past the lock on the bootloader. Your best bet is using SafeStrap with MJ9, or waiting for the dev's to root android 4.4 on the Note 2.

Thank you. I hope 4.4 bootloader can be unlocked sooner.
If I use safestrap with MJ9, I cannot install custom room, can I?
Bummer. RIP.
Dang. I just bought a used Note 2 with the MJ9 bootloader.. I have an old Motorola Droid Maxx with safestrap and I can run any rom I'd like on it.. SS on GN2 is still in early Alpha (with no signs of it being done anytime soon) and apparently you can only flash over the Stock slot and only TW roms.. Bummer.
I appreciate the devs for what they do. I just find it odd that Droid Maxx (from 2011) with safestrap works flawlessly with any roms. Their threads are filled with awesome ports of roms. Not the Note 2. Comes with the territory when you get into this kinda stuff.
GEOHOTZ YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-1605) that is running android 4.4.2. I am currently out of contract with Verizon and I would like to start installing custom roms on my device. However, the latest OTA update has my bootloader locked down like Fort Knox. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

You can use a method in the general section to get root, which isn't one click, but you have to unlock the bootloader to install custom recovery to flash roms which can't currently be done on 4.3 and up for this phone.

Ok. Cool. Hopefully, someone will find an exploit to get pass this bootloader soon.

So I'm on 4.3 and rooted. Am I still unable to have a recovery? I'm having horrible Wi-Fi issues and i can't figure out why. So wanna go back to og Rom to process and eliminate
