I've flashed CM a few times in my life and it's great! I love it. But do you know what I love more?
Kill me now,
But TouchWiz.
Love the features. Most of them are stoobid and I will remove once I get root, but I want root, xposed and 4.4 on my Verizon Note 3. I'm not interested in sitting on 4.3 anymore. So! Here's my question.
Is there a way to flash the unlocked non-carrier bloated version of 4.4.2 TouchWiz on my Verizon note 3?
Thanks for your time!
Happy rooting.

My aunt has recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T from an independently owned store. They rooted the phone and unlocked it for 4G. Along with my guidance they were able to enable the 4G data on it. My question is, can I update the phone to Android 4.0 or whatever it needs to be updated to? The phone says that it wants to update but it can't connect to the AT&T servers since it is on T-Mobile. Can I do this in another way?
If you rooted it you shouldn't take any update without unrooting. And if you're rooted you should install a custom ROM anyways. plenty of ICS roms for the note

it could be going to android 4.1.1?

yeah i think so.
I would like to root my google edition S4 that arrived today. The only root I have found is for 4.3 firmware mine is still running 4.2.2, the bootloader should be unlocked, so what do I need to gain root access? I want to get titanium backup working, thank you!

Hey guys,
I'm new coming from a GS3 running synergy. Some unexpected events forced me to upgrade to a GS4. I haven't really kept tabs on the gs4 because my upgrade was due around the time the GS5 is supposedly going to come out.
I'm disappointed to find that the bootloaders are locked for us newer owners. My question is, my phone came with 4.2.2 MI1 should i allow it to update to 4.3? I would like to stay on what ever SW will likely get cracked in the future. I've read as much as i could and it seems like the older sw is closer to having a bootloader unlocked than the newer. It also looks like you can't go backwards anymore.
I love flashing and tinkering with my phones and i dunt want to safe strap another phone. I got to use to having a completely unlocked phone. Any advice is welcomed.
Thank you guys

samsung has locked down the bootloader pretty well and some have been working on finding an exploit since MDK base exploit was blocked by ME7. So if you are going to wait until an unlock mechanism is found for base firmware releases since MDK S4, you may never see it.
The only option presently for ME7 and later firmware S4's is safestrap. Right now many of us that couldn't get a MDK phone are running 4.3 android base HD12 which has specific release for safestrap.
good luck but the trend is clear by phone manufs and the service providers who are demanding locked bootloaders except for Dev phones.
Thanks for the reply. So I'm not going to loose out on anything by allowing my phone to OTA update to the latest?

I'm considering buying this phone. Can anybody tell me where the DNA is with official OTA updates and whether or not it's unlockable and rootable? Thanks!
It doesn't have official kit kat, yet.
It is unlockable and rootable.
Thanks. So did it get 4.3? And if so, is it unlockable? I only like ask because the Note 2 and HTC One both got OTA 4.3 recently and neither bootloaders have been unlocked.

The DNA recently got upgraded via OTA to sense 5, 4.2.2, and root/unlock ready. It is slated to get sense 5.5 and 4.4 kit Kat by march via ota. I would go with this phone, it's my favorite phone all around in a long time with the exception of the Sony Xperia Z but that's not available on Verizon.

It has not yet gotten 4.3 and probably won't I think if we get a update now it'll be 4.4 or just updates for bug fixes. As for dev support it's there all the way kicking butt and taking names lol. This device is very easy to unlock the bootloader and root if you have any experience at all with that sorta thing. Got this phone about 8 months ago and I don't regret it at all!!!

Awesome. Thanks to you all. I had the Incredible and Thunderbolt, then ventured off to the RAZR, GNex, and now Note 2.. All unlocked and rooted. And I have to say, I miss HTC. I like stock Android too though. And with the Note 2 being locked with its recent update, it is undesirable to put it nicely. Thanks again.

Same with the GS4, the updates killed unlock. Fortunately I was able to unlock it befoer the update. In some way I feel sad for those who later bought the phone but couldn't unlock it.
I'm glad jcase and beaups have an unlock method for this phone that hasn't been thwarted. I'm surprised the DNA's continued unlockability, good porcessor, and great screen hasn't attracted far more people.
DNA will not receive official 4.3 and will leapfrog to 4.4 by end of march (as said by HTC on Twitter) pending Verizon approval. It is still 50/50 chance of us seeing 4.4 as Verizon has to approve it.
Verizon loves their devices locked down, so I am sure they are extremely peeved that rumrunner released so soon for our device. This means it may not receive 4.4 unless HTC finds a way to lock it down harder.

My power button crapped out on my S3 and I'm looking at the DNA. Know someone that may trade. I'm REALLY concerned about the 16 gb of internal only storage. What were they thinking!?

Got the phone today..
So I got the phone today and it's currently running 4.1.1 / Sense 4+, 2.04.605.2 710RD. Should I just unlock it as such or update it and then unlock? Any input?

You could unlock now or later, the unlock method works non matter what firmware you're on :good:
If you want to run the stock OTA 4.2 update you might want to update first and the root. I have heard people having problems with the OTA update failing with rooted phones.
I was already rooted and installed an image of the update from the dev forum.

Same here. I just de-bloated everything and am messing with xposed already. This phone smokes my S3 in terms of feeling fluid. That touchwiz interface was laggy unless I had CM11, and then had camera and signal issues. Pretty happy right now, even though I gave up my SD card. :thumbup:

Nice, enjoy. I love mine and have plenty of space with the CM11 snapshot from 1/4.
The DNA is truly a great device, I don't see myself replacing it for a long time (unless it breaks)
With the latest OTA, the DNA is finally unlockable/rootable with the rumrunner method. I actually just s-off'd mine something like 10 minutes ago.

We probably don't have to worry much about bringing it to the Note 3 as I'm sure KK for our phone isn't too far behind. About damn time we see something!

Wouldn't it be a much safer approach to bring this S4 leaked version over to our Note 3? I mean you could be right KK for the Note 3 might be just around the corner, but what if that version of KK has a similar affect as the version that AT&T received, where the update wiped out Root and there was no way to restore it. Maybe that is something that is just going to happen with the Verizon KK update, Root will be lost, and the bounties will raise again. If you ask me, what if we take a look at the S4 KK leaked ROM and see if it is something that can be ported over to the Note 3, maybe it can, maybe there's a way to keep Root and enjoy KitKat.

I guess I don't know about obtaining root on a stock AT&T KK Note 3, but it seems there are plenty of custom, rooted ROMs based off the newest release. Porting a new version of android without the kernel (for those of us using SS) just seems like it'd be a lot of work and a PITA. Admittedly, I don't know much about this stuff so it may be more straight forward than I know.

Would it be possible use a stock KitKat ROM from another carrier such as Sprint, extract the radio, then insert the Verizon radio from S4 leak? I don't know much about ROM building or porting a ROM, but I know you need the correct radios to get it to work properly, maybe if cross-build with what is already available something should work right? and I hope on the retail version side of things...
When you start tweaking like that, it's becomes no longer signed, and then it won't flash. Plus I think the kernel is different, which is an automatic stop, as we can't flash different ones.

I'd think that the biggest issue with porting an S4 ROM to the Note 3 would be S-Pen support. Is that not a concern?
Personally I would try to use a Canadian 4.4 Rom since we have had the update for over a month now up here

SafeStrap ignores the boot.img even if present, so it can't get flashed on a retail N3.
Anything to note on the S4 leak such as root methods and what not?
The note 3 tar was posted on their site and in another thread. No root exploit is publicly available yet.
