Hi
so, we've got a proven developer, show-p1984, willing to help us get this device to the modern age.
all we need now is to get him a device.
our guy lives in Germany, so if there's a European user wanting to Part with his device - Let us know please!
if there isn't: we need to put the money together and get him a device.
the cheapest ebay device i've seen is 249$. to which we'll have to add 20% tax in Germany. this will get us to about 300$.
it seems to have free shipping.
all of us willing to put the money upfront - this is the current division between us:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkSenxSHUyy_dHZvSUhZbjczSk55bkEyd1dfYnBYNVE
i opened a Paypal account for this purpose. i will share the account Password with another forum member, for control purposes.
the shortest way to go is using the "Donate to me button" of my user. this will take you to donate to a user called "xda.jetstream".
the faster we all get the money in, the faster we'll get jb..
thanks.
3rd HUGE donation...3-4 more people and we're on our way!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
You can get a brand new jetsream at all4cellular with the coupon code "A4C20" for $200!
this is what you call "too little too late"
the operation is finished and the device is on his way to our guy. usps are taking their sweet time on it..
I am sorry I missed this operation, but to provide an added incentive to the dev, I will be offering a $100 tip as soon a ROM the community is happy with is ready.
I will gladly pledge $ upon evidence of development.
I hope this isn't another project that gets dropped.
if everything goes as planned - we should be ok.
the device is still on its way to show_p1984. its super annoying, but DHL are the problem now...
show_p1984 gave me his word that in case he should fail, or something like that he will send the device to another developer, of our choice. all we got is his word, but i trust him and keeping in touch with him.
Update:
the device made it to our guy last week, after about 3 weeks of shipment.
unfortunately he got damaged during the shipment, and we're trying to get at least a partial refund. the damage is cosmetic and won't disturb with the developing, probably.
show_p1984 had some time to play with the device and decided that the most important thing required is JB. not the storage bug, not a proper 3.1 rom..he's going straight for JB ROM. this could take a while, i'll update here when something will happen.
thanks again to all the donators.

Glad to see that things are moving quickly.
Once we have a method for getting JB on to the Jetstream, will the developer produce a comprehensive how-to guide for all of us who have no experience with roms, rooting, etc.?
probably. if not them, the reset of the forum.
i have a feeling once proper ROM will available, more users will get here.

showp said that you would at least need the HTC unlock 's-off wanna be' he called it. i think he's referring to the bootloader. best way to find out is to wait and see..

Because as far as I know, the stylus is involved with sense!
Now I must give props to Showp (aka, Dennis) He is REALY doing GREAT work here!
Thanks for everythign Dennis, and when you release your work, a donation will be coming your way!
The stylus support possible without sense assuming that the stylus component is the same as that of flyer. They have got it working on aosp roms as well...

That is very great news indeed!
We still need to get a great developer on board, because as good as ShowP is with kernels, he is not a very good rom dev, I mean yes he can, but it will take a LOT of time for him, which I think is unnecessary.
chaos-z from the flyer forum once suggested helping..and i think some of the others here could probably port roms since its far easier than kernel development.
and finally, jmztaylor is also working on a rom for the jetstream. so i'm guessing we'll have two roms coming out about the same time.
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!

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
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

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

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...

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.

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. (;
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------
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.
